Stevenson stands six feet three inches, has been handy in the bucket on offense, and equally useful in grabbing rebounds off the board. He probably played his best game when the freshmen beat Trinity 43-37 on December 16. Just before exam period Harper began using Al Switzer at center with considerable success to lessen the load on Stevenson...

He should be able to hold his own against the rest of the heavyweight opposition...
