...rugged transfer student, Ed Cuff, who terrorized the House league last winter, will fill one of the forward posts. Formerly a student at Holy Cross, Cuff has served a term in the Army, where he picked up the rough, driving style of play that is his forte. Wilson has smoothed our Cuff's brawling methods, and he feels that the 6 ft., 3 in. junior will be the team's offensive mainstay. Cuff is particularly effective with his back to the basket...
