Familiar Scenes at Big Tracks

New Albany flashed into promie | nence among outstanding state title

the coach, and the No. 1 man is John Townsend, forward, the old Tech of Indianapolis luminary. | Townsend, who is captain of the Michigan netters, has been an All-Conference selection for two years. ...

THER Michigan lettermen are Herm Fishman, guard, "deceptive floor man; Bill Barclay, elusive forward ; Lee Beebe, aggressive guard; Ed Thomas, speedy forward, and Dan Smick, capable center candidate. . . . However, despite the high regard Coach Cappon holds for the veterans, he says only Townsend and Fishman are sure of their positions. . . . An.unusual crop of fine sophomore prospects is the reason and the battle for berths is sure to keep. the

squad hustling all season.

The team will miss John Gee, 6-foot 6-inch center, and last season’s captain, who scored 105 points in Conference competition, but with the emphasis off player height this season his loss will be minimized. :

son, Dave Wood and Bob Palmer. . .

. Ray is a Toledo product who is

described as agile, a good shot and accurate passer with natural

basketball sense. .

. . The squad is equipped with both tall and short

men, but Cappon sticks to the belief that a good tall player still is better than a good little pastimer in the hardwood sport. Michigan is off both the Purdue and Indiana schedules this season but the Wolverines will appear in Indianapolis on Jan. 3 to battle the
