REESE TOTED CAPTAIN FOR 46-47 CAGERS By DAN DANNALS The unanimous vote of the members of this year's Stetson University Hatter cage squad elected William R. Reese of Daytona Beach as honorary captain for the 46-47 campaign. Reese, a senior, was the only hoopman who had seen action with Coach Ben demons' pre-war teams, having lettered as a guard in 1941. In the past season, Billy again played at the guard position and contributed greatly not only to his team's victories with a sterling type of play but also in holding the squad together in the crucial moments of various games. The Daytona lad has also been active in.other sports throughout the years. He was a member of Coach Brady Cowell's varsity football team in '40-'41, and has been an active participant in many of the intra-mural sports at the University. During the war years he served with the United States Marines. Reese is past president of his social fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, and was recently elected into Stetson's Ye Mystic Krewe, honorary men's (Continued on Page 2) 'ft. Pinky Sez. On Wednesday of last week someone was so "light-fingered" that he "relieved" a certain teacher of a copy of the exam he was to give on Friday.
