PORT WASHINGTON - "We'll improve as the season progresses," first-year Coach George Thomas says.  "But, the going is going to be rough because of the small number of boys out for the team."  Three lettermen are back:

Senior Leonard Cameron, 5-11 Guard
Senior Bob Casteel, 6-0 Forward
Junior Roger Lewis, 5-10 Forward

Also seeking starting jobs are:

Senior Dan Gay, 5-10 Guard
Senior Dick West, 6-1 Center
Junior Bill Dumermuth, 5-8 Guard
Rich Fillman, 6-0 Center
Sophomore Jerry Stevens, 5-8 Guard
Freshman Gary Miller
Freshman Mike Peepers

Gone because of graduation are:

Jim Bates (leading rebounder)
Ken Gay (top scorer)
Steve Bender
John Foust

Ken Gay tallied 276 points for the 5-13 club, Cameron 177, Bates 156, Bender 136 and Casteel 109.
