Throughout the fall, as we looked forward to this current basketball season, we feared the Williamsmen would be too hard hit by the loss of Russ Washburn and Bill Mitchell to take the title this year. Washburn was the offensive mainstay last season. He was the man who could be counted on to hit double fi gures consistently. His steady scoring punch was always there in the clutch. Mitchell, on the other hand, was the bulwark of the de- fense. He was assigned the colorless job of guarding the scoring threats of all Mule opponents. For that reason he did not score many points himself. He was too busy holding down the oppo- sition. But his excellent defensive play was responsible for many Colby victories. Williams does not have a man of Washburn's capabilities this year. Tubby's deadly set shot will be missed considerably. Nor does the Mule Mentor have a reliable defensive guard such as Mitchell. But he does have the two things he expected to lack most, depth and variety. Saturday's game with Bowdoin was far from a hoop classic. The Polar Bears were pitiful. They were out of condition, and showed nothing on offense or defense. But the contest served to in u" fr*nt Q the tyne of ball club William* has. He was aWe to change his offensive tactics time and again by juggling his line- up. Moreover, the juggling was done without weakening th°. George Pain e (left) and Jim Lazour , two of the Mule starters against Maine tonight. Lazour team. Last season there was a marked difference between the score d 19 points in the William and Mary game to pace the Williamsmen. first and second teams. This year, with the exception of Shiro (ECHOphotos from Waterville Sentinel) and Finegan, the difference is in style of play, not ability. Sonny Welson, who has improved tremendously since last year, is strong under the boards, and a good man for setting up Two Colbyites plays.
