Let's look at their record. First. George “The Brute." He was the r of last season’: basketball team, and was the top point getter before Christ- mas this season. He was one of e big guns on the .1unior “B" squad that won the Island High School hockey crown. He was the slugger on the Credit Union Midgets. when they annexed the Island baseball champions hi p.
