Sophomores Sam Winter, Onnie Mayshak and Brian Sigafoos played center-by-committee Saturday night, and none of the three had impressive games. They combined for eight total points, but nine personal fouls. Only Mayshak had much success rebounding, getting four defensive boards in ten minutes...
...winter, to escape their unheated flat, they ride the Circle Line all day long, Ludo's stroller laden with books--these would include The Odyssey in Greek, some Japanese primers and The House at Pooh Corner.
