of its first 14 games.
Both the Generals and the
Raiders are slow starting-teams,
but the Generals easily pre­
vailed, 64-45, for their first win
of the season.
The Raiders have added two
players to swell their team total
to 8, but neither has become a
starter, and experience has not
improved their scoring.
In their last game, Jackson
totaled 42 points as compared to
a first game output of 38. Mark
Riley and James Gentry have
led the Raider attack with help
from Dixon Ingalls, aohn David­
son, Mike Purcell and Bob Gan­
non.
Marshall has amassed an 8
win, 6 loss record, so another
General victory would certainly
appear to be an upset.
Jack Warren, one of the
league’s leading scorers, directs
the Minuteman offense, with'
scoring help from Steve Beidel,
Steve Wallace and sophomore
Tracy Hill.

ing several steals a game, but Sinclair is probably the best all-
around player on the team.
Although a deadly shooter, Sinclair’s passing is his best asset. He
consistently pierces defenses with fine leads, and with his size and
strength, will probably be one of the city’s top guards in 2 years.
Congratulations to Mr. Pienett on a great coaching job, and we
share in Mr. Rooney’s anticipation of the team to come.

As the Generis get deeper into their first losing basketball sea­
son since 1953, it is appropriate to point out that it is Coach Rooney’s
first losing year as Grant mentor, and also his first in 15 years of
coaching.
But you have to take some losses to build a winner, and next
year the Generals will return with over half of their team. It’ll be
