Lubchansky is a good shooter and a shifty dribbler. Stewart is excellent in pivot-work, and scored most of his goals in that fashion. Probably the steadiest player on the whole team is Cordingley; he is especially apt at feeding the ball to other men under the basket...
Records: Jan Savitt has been gaining extremely well these days, his latest being "Rose of the Rio Grande," an oldie done in much the same fashion as the Ellington rendition, meaning it to be a trombone concerto in this case for Al Leopold instead of Lawrence Brown. Very fine playing, although a few of Leopold's ideas are lifted from Browns solo . . . Bobby Byrn's band is coming along in great shape.
