by We Je Simmons

year will be captained by one of Milne's
"flashiest" court stars, Douglas MacHarg,
aS you all know, he is one of the fast-
est and trickiest players. This season
will be Douglas' third as a member of
the varsity squad.
In 1934, while still a
he cume up from the junior high school
team and made the varsity. To add to
this he played first string forward all
season, In the game with Draper, Mac-
Harg scored six points of Milne's twen»
ty-three in avenging a previous defeat,
he was also high
scorer with eight points.
sophomore,
He was second high point man for
the 1935 season with a total of seventy-
two counters. "Doug" turned in some fino
playing at forward and his ability to
"stick tem in" from almost any position
was a great asset to the Crimson Raiders.
This year Captain MacHarg will very
likely hold down right forward position.
Dougles says. "I think we will have a
good scason “and we'll win the first
game."
