PHS To Have Fair Team
About 2 Years Hence
Just ask coach Lawrence Gib
son of Palmer high school about
basketball prospects this season,
and he’ll get a far-away look in
his eye and begin to talk about
next year and year after. With
most of the 40 players either
freshmen or sophomores, Mr.
Gibson allows that he’ll have
quite a team about season after
next.
He says this year’s squad lacks
the experience and size of last
season’s five. However, he ad
mits, upon cross - examination,
that there are three men over six
feet tall, one around five-nine
and a couple that do a bit better
than five eight.
As far as experience goes,
there are five regulars return
ing from last year's squad.
They include Don Irwin, Ray
Puhl. Walt Stevens, Lloyd
Plumley and Duane Huntley.
The first three are seniors.
Mr. Gibson says there are
several promising freshmen turn
ing out this year, and undoubt
edly there will be some fresh
men on his first-string squad,
when he finally weeds them
down to 20. He expects to carry
first and second-string squads
* of 10 players each.
In addition to his five return
ing regulars, Providence was
good to coach Gibson when it
gave him Jim Gleason, a trans
fer from Juneau. Somebody did
the court boss quite a favor, too,
when they induced Lynn Sand
vik to turn out this season. Lynn
is a junior, but has never played
competitive basketball before.
Lynn probably will be playing
forward when he makes his court
- appearances this year.
Although Mr. Gibson cau
tioned that it was much too
soon to make predictions, he
said both Miles Hyland, a
sophomore guard, and George
Pedersen, a potential forward,
were shaping up well in prac
tice.
There is some doubt that
George will be able to continue
basketball, however. The team
is beginning evening practice on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, and
George, a student from the El
Nathan home, must depend on
school buses for his transporta
tion.
The squad had its first light
floor scrimmage last Monday.
However, Mr. Gibson will make
no announcement of possible
starters in the Alumni season
opener next Friday until late
next week. He does not expect to
begin to trim down his squad
until after that game.

It is advisable to make ar
rangements at least a week in
