JUNIQR VARSITY Left to right-Row one: Kunsman, Kms, Jones, Rollins, Baronner. Row two: Stewart, Irwin, Goodfellow, Conrad, Winters, Coach Mentzer. Junior Varsity URING the 1935-36 basketball season the Mountain High League sponsored, for the first time, a Junior Varsity League. The latter league was made up of the junior varsity teams of the regularly enrolled members of the Mountain High League. The purpose of the new league was to create greater interest and rivalry among the various schools, and to give those boys who failed to make the varsity teams an opportunity to play. Lewistown J. Vfs won the championship. The Hollidaysburg team under the direction of Mr. Mentzer proved to be a fighting aggregation. The Mount Union game in which the local team came back to win, 22-20, in an extra period session, after being behind 9-0 best typilies the fighting quality of the boys. Although the team lacked polish due primarily to lack of practice, the boys usually gave their opponents a good game. Among those on the J. V. roster and who will become varsity timber next year are the following: Kins, Coodfellow, Rollins, Irwin, Kunsman, Jones, Conrad, Deen, and Baronner. Page Ninety-three 4
