1938

William M. “Bill” Jones lettered in basketball in 1934, 1937 and 1938. The 1937 team started the season with a 10-0 record and Jones was a key member, supplying outstanding passing, ball handling, and long-range shooting. He was the player responsible for feeding the ball inside to two-time All-American Chuck Chuckovits. Jones' shots were usually taken from outside 25 feet, making him one of the early long-range specialists. He averaged eight points a game and led the Rockets to an 18-4 record in 1936-37 and a 14-6 mark in 1937-38.
