The five starters for the team are Harrington and Hicks at Guard, Vandergrift and Small at forward, and Wood at center. Bloom and Birdsong are reserves.

ball in the second half to win with ease. Small had 12 points, Wood scored I I, and Vandergrift and Harrington both had 8, as the team put together its finest effort.
