"I think we will find again this year that many games will be decided by a one-to-three point margin. Our biggest aim is to overcome our lack of heighth with hustle, determination, and good ball handling," he said. "We have the material for a hustling team, but it is going to he up to the boys to put forth that extra desire that spells the difference between victory and defeat." The two leading returning veterans from the last year's team (13-7) are ball handler specialist Palmer Toto, who averaged 13.4 points per game and 6'4" Jim Delaney, the team's leading rebounder who averaged 15.l points per game. Toto should be one of the best playmakers in the P.S.C.A.C. Back also will be Jack Carney, the team's leading scorer in the 1966-67 season, with a 19.4 average (Jack expects to regain his shooting form this year); Bob Snyder, who averaged 8.6 points per game as sixth man last season (also an excellent ball handler); Bill Mastropietro, the team's outstanding defense specialist and hustler; Mark Yancheck, 6'4" leaper; and sharpshooter Larry Monaghan. Up from last year's freshman team (13-6) are James Platukis, 6'3" forward; Dennis Mummy, S'll" frosh high scorer; Ted Lawson, 6'1" guard; Tom Wilson, 6' playmaker; and Greg Viola, 6'5" forward. Mummy and Platukis were the high scorers for the freshmen with a 22 point and 17 point per game average respectively. Jeff Hock, 6'3", 210 lbs. forward, returns to the squad after sitting out last season because of a shoulder injury. The Huskies will participate in two holiday tournaments this year which should benefit their return to conference action following the vacation period. B.S.C. is the defending champion in the Highspire (Pa.) Tournament which will be held December 26 and 27. Aqtion in that tournament will be preceded this year with participation in the Washington and Lee Tournament in Viqrinia on December 19 and 20.
