Captain Injured

No help to the Pirates was a
serious knee injury to their captain
and star guard Mel Knight. Knight,
good on defense and an excellent
shooter, has returned to action but
has not been able to go at peak
efficiency or play for extended
periods of time. His disability has
put much of the burden of carrying
the team on Ken House, a 6-5
junior averaging 20.6 points per
game. Other Pirate starters include
guards Gary Cavalle and Frank
Cortes, together averaging over 31
points per contest.
