Prize protégé on this season's squad is ham-fisted Center Bill Wanish, who can hold a basketball in each hand palms down. In last week's game, Bill made 15 points. His No. 1 helper is Negro Elmo Jackson (ten points), a lightning-fast forward.

As a $250-a-month prospector (employed by Toronto's Rush Lake and Berwick Mining Companies), he was in the Mackeith Lake country last June with a young Indian helper named Maynard Bromley.
