Lulli Speaks to Literary League
Coach Gardner has high hopes of moulding his Navy aggregation into one of the formidable basketball teams of the mid-west. "In playing a twenty game schedule that includes such opponents as Oklahoma A & M, Oklahoma, Kansas University, and Creighton, a team has to be pretty strong to make much progress," commented Gardner. "Getting the players together at practice is one of our biggest worries," he continued, "for many of the men are kept busy most of the time by their jobs in other departments here at the Base. Individually the players look fine—in the prime of condition and ready for rugged action."
