Signatures from the back of the Basketball Team Photo.
R. Tait Roth is the 5th signature. Apparently this squad played throughout the war including a series of games on Long Island NY against my father's High School Team (Lynbrook H.S.)being known as "The Shisters 5".
I have also been told that they played the Famous Edmonton Grads Ladies Basketball Team - but had to split the squad to make things even.
