These men are recognized as first-string material. Among the others are Charley Nussbaum, John Mohr, Bill Wright, Happy Chambers, Jack Kincannon, Lefty Bot- male, Emmet Keefe, Brad Buckner and many other members of last year's championship frosh. The real training grind does not start until after football season is over, but at the present time the boys are training their eyes on the hoop and loosening up tight muscles. Well, here's to the best year the Gray Fog has ever had in a basketball way. This seems rather a rash statement to make, but If the candidates live up to their expectations It is a cinch that this IS the year (TheFoghorn).
