"Big Jim" Childerstone, 6ft. 6in. of bone and muscle, is the mainstay of this year's team. Coty Burdon's tactical advice and experience will be of help and Dan Ellison (seven feet of dynamite!), Alan Coleman (Big Jim's protege) and Bill Kain, all of whom play rugby to keep fit for basketball, will provide the brawn. Dave Nicoll is one of those eight-footers who use their top foot to advantage, while John Hayward is potentially one of the best players, mainly because he has such a lot of potential to make up. This team has not lost a game this year!
