Coaches Dan Pero and Dennis Higginson have reported. They describe the squad as a young one but with some experi ence in varsity play. They said that height is fairly well dis tributed. The Cougars have strength in reserve and compe tition has been high in practice for berths on Hie starling unit.

Will Control Hoards Also on the varsity crew are Mark Ray. fi feel, Ron Mi'EI- miirry, 5-6, anil Paul nison, 5-6. Practices so far have shown thai Maurer. Hunt, Downing and Andresen will control the boards and that outside shooting by Scott, Wilson and Hall will keep rival defenses from lightening up. Hemphill and Larry Ray have shown good potential. But foot-1 ball ami car ace idcnl injuries kept thorn out of hoop practice until recently I The reserve strength is help-1 ing to push the foregoing indi-1 vidti.il.s to their utmost, the : coaches reiiorted.
