PROS°ECTS FOR THE 19l,0-l1 SEASON

 

Graduation was exceptionally kind to the Ramblers last year
and claimed only one man, Frank Leahy. The entire team

was slated to return again this year and Coach Sachs looked
forward to one of the largest squads in many years. Now,
however, the Rambler squad consists of only thirteen men,
including eight Sophs.«

The 19)0-l:1 edition of the Ramblers will be pitched
headlong into the toughest schedule that has confronted any
team in recent years. The alumni are the first foe to threaten
the Varsity and are followed in quick succesion by Georgetown,
Purdue, Yale, Kansas, Duquesne, Chicago, Temple, De Paul and
many other traditionally strong teams. This array of talent
has caused many a headache for Coach Sachs when he realizes
that to oppose them he has a team built around five returning
vets but as yet untested with regard to reserve strength. This
is very serious as Coach Sachs realizes that basketball as it
is played today requires many and adequate replacements if the
team is to experience any degree of success. The team is not
much taller than that team which last was referred to as the
"Sachs" midgets and will again experience great difficulty
against taller opponents. The individuals have worked rather
hard, however, and have developed a high speed offense which
should more than offset the heighth disadvantage that will be
apparrent.

All in all the 19):0-l:1 team although it may not win all of
it's games will certainly better the record of the succeeding
squad by many games. We can predict no definite victory or
defeat, but each game will be played in turn and we hope to
see the Ramblers win a majority of them.
