BASKETBALL 1 When winter once again came to Deering, the call was sent out for basketball candi- dates. We soon heard the thrilling sound of basketballs echoing in the gym. Deering lost some grand players last year-tall Ray Lynch, Bill Edes, Bob Orr, and Gene Sturgeon. However, Frank Goodie, Bob Simpson, Dana Weeks, and Bob Lee returned to the squad. Rickey Hall, because of a football injury, did not join the team this year. Fred Kosiba, a newcomer to Deering, took over the coaching job for the 1947 squad. With Hall not playing at center, the position was filled by Kerry jackson and Bob Simpson. Dana Weeks, a good defensive player, filled one of the guard positions. Warren johnson, a spectacular Sophomore, filled the other guard position. Johnson specialized in those long, oh-so-pretty swishers. At forward, we found Dick Campbell, a speedy Junior. Captain Frank Goodie, a mighty mite, filled in the other forward position. jortberg and Perruzzi were the squad's able managers. Deering added a new team to her schedule this year, Plymouth High of Massachus- etts. In a game in Boston, the Plymouth boys won a tough game, 33 to 31. At first the Plymouth team was ahead 9 to 7. The Deering Rams pulled up in the second quarter, 18 to 16. After a third period score of 26 to 22, the Ram offensive was blunted to let Plymouth win in the last seconds. The next week, Deering was back home again, and played a strong Cheverus five. The Deeringites started well, pulling ahead by a 15 to 14 score. At the second period, Deering still led 21 to 14. The Irish offensive burst in the third, the Irish pulled ahead 32 to 30. Cheverus ran wild to win by a 42 to 30 score in a sloppy fourth period. Cony was next of Deering's list. The boys traveled to the Capital to be upset in the fourth quarter by the Cony men, 34 to 28. Deering led all the way, but lost in the last quarter. Then tired of taking a beating, the Purple picked up a game at Lewiston, downing the Red Eddies 41 to 37. Frank Goodie sparkled in this game with 17 points to his credit. On the next week, the Rams entertained a strong Caper outfit at the Expo. The South Portland club took a rough beating in Deering's best game of the year. Campbell was lead man on the team with 15 points under his belt. When the final gun went off, the Rams had won 46 to 36. Once again Deering met her rival, Portland High School. The game started off slowly, everyone expected a dull game. However, the game was the most thrilling of the year. In the last quarter, the two teams suddenly tied scores, 36 to 36. The time ran out, but the game was not over. fn the overtime period, the game was loaded with high-pitched excitement with the ball passing quickly back and forth from one basket to the other. Kerry jackson tore loose with a swisher. The screaming crowd rocked the old Expo. The Bulldogs, in a frenzy, sank one to match Jackson's. Kerry had a foul shot. As the crowd held its breath, he sank it. Portland followed by also sinking a foul shot. The precious seconds ticked away, the Blue got the ball. A quick, one-handed shot and Q'BANG! , the game was over. Portland had won 41 to 39. The Presque Isle game came out unfavorable to the Rams, 37 to 34. The Potato Men won in the final seconds with their height counting heavily. Deering seemed to be in a rut for 'the rest of the season. Coach Kosiba, realizing this, began to play many under- classmen in order to give them experience for a good season next year. Cheverus again beat the Rams 28 to 15. The Bowdoin Jayvees won 41 to 33. The Purple machine was unable to cope with a strengthened Caper outfit. Deering lost 47 to 38. Lewiston and Portland also chalked up victories. For the Hrst year, interclass basketball was held. In a close fight, Larry Whittemore's Senior team won the championship. The Celtics won the intra-mural crown. The Jayvees and the Frosh team had good seasons. Mr. Tibbetts and Mr. Smith coached the teams. Deering has good material coming to the varsity team, we wish Coach Kosiba a good season next year.
