JANUARY, 1942 . . . 11 Gerard, the North Webster, Indiana, veteran paced the scoring with 101 points in the first 11 games, but he was getting help from Bill Burk, guard; Dudley Jones, forward; Chet Aubuchon, guard, and Mel Peterson, guard. All were scoring well. One of the year's pleasant developments was the improved play of Fred A. Stone, Jr., of Chicago. Members of the class of 1912 should prick up their ears here, for Fred is a son of Fred A. Sr., who served as captain of an Aggie team. Fred is playing brilliantly, using his six-feet-six stature to good advan­ tage. Aubuchon, ill last year, has made a comeback, but is being used sparingly in view of the desperate fight he made to regain his health.
