CHRIS IS THE PERENNIAL WINNER IN HIS DISTRICT -OFTHESPOKTSCASTER'S AWARD Page 2 The Cowl, December 2, 1970 Sophomores Bring Depth; Board Strength Still Weak By Ed Paglia Providence College will embark on the '70-'71 campaign augmented by the addition of six sophomores while preparing for their season opener against Brown at Marvel Gymnasium. The most vital and the most needed contribution that three of these six sophomores will make is height, the one commodity that Dave Gavin's charges of '69-'70 lacked. As Ray Johnson fared, so fared Friar Fortunes. Ray's early foul trouble would almost inevitably cancel out the Friars' chances of victory. When Ray left to the accolades of a standing ovation via the foul route, PC's board strength left with him. This year's newly added height will undoubtedly ease the pressure on Ray and enable him to be around for the finish of many a ball game.

The Friars handled Brown's cagers without much difficulty in both of last year's encounters. If anything, this year's squad should literally dispose of the Brown quintet with little more trouble than it takes to put out the garbage for pick-up. Here, then, are the men who will launch the most anticipated basketball season since the departure of Jimmy Walker:
