Mertz tops the freshman list and should push by in practice. Two players emerged as real talents in last night's varsity session with both likely to see action. Dutch Struck returned in uniform after injuries and is noted as a top high school guard from Illinois. Adams from Sucker State shows good form this year and could become a key contributor. Speed at floor work looks strong and if he gains a basket eye he could be among Morrison's reliable men.
