As a new method of helping to meet University expenses, a group of athletically talented members of the Law and Business Schools have formed a professional basketball team, which bids soon to establish a name for itself in New England athletic circles.
The team is composed of five former college basketball players, all of whom have now turned professional, and in their debut on the Cape recently they startled the usually stolid citizenry by blitzkrieging a local five by the score of 109 to 47. "Tonight they hope to return to the scene of their former triumph when they tackle the 208th Division of Camp Edwards in the Barnstable High School Auditorium. Since the soldiers have among their number several first rate hoopmen, a spirited battle seems in prospect.
Highscorer and most brilliant light of the star-studded aggregation is "Cowboy" Kerr, who stands six feet four, and drops baskets in from all over the court. In 1939 he was All-West guard for the University of Oklahoma. George "Red" Lowman '38, now a proctor in Wiggles-worth Hall; and captain of the Crimson forces in 1938, is also on the team.
Bill Biggerstaff, a Southern California Rose Bowl player, and Carter Dunlap, who was a student center on the West Coast for two years, are also on the roster.
Tony Galluchio, coach of the second Freshmen and the team's player-coach, is slated for a tryout this spring with the Boston Red Sox. While the future scheduled is still a little in doubt, games are in prospect with Long Island University, the Boston College Independents, and a Yankee Division quintet.
