Ab J C l rmined to dribble through two Ith ca players. . . nd Jumor arslt North played the Wildcats on even terms for the first half trailing by 34-32 but Lakata broke it open in the second half. Joe Garbarino was the most effective man for North and ended up his night's work with a total of 13 points. NORTH 66-CENTRAL 55 The Indians closed out their regular season play with a decisive 11-point victory over their intra-city rivals from Central. The braves showed superb form, something they lacked in many of their previous games, while the Bulldogs were not able to meet the pre-game predictions. John Young and Moe Goodspeed were most effective under the backboards and controlled the ball most of the time that the play took place in this area. Vince Coyle played his usual calm floor game, passing to perfection and setting up many key plays. The team's scoring efforts were led by Joe Garbarino and Fred Murphy each scoring 15 markers, seconded by Moe Goodspeed with 10.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach Charlie Howland's J.V. squad completed a so-so season with a record of 8 wins against 8 de- feats. The fellows worked hard but didn't seem to be able to make points when they were really needed. Since a majority of the players were small, the taller ones had a more difficult time trying to keep opponents from getting too near the basket. The first seven men composed of Ron Rasmussen, Bob Pratt, Ed Knauf, Gerry Dukerich, ,lim Osier, Bob Lesso and Frank Petro saw much action, while the good but less experienced men saw the games from the bench. All the JayVees have high hopes of becoming next yearis varsity stars, and all of us wish them the best of luck during their remaining basketball years here at North.

During the greater part of the game it looked to all as if North were going to pull an upset by defeating the Little Red of Ithaca, but in the final quarter the Ithaeans were able to score I5 points while holding the Northmen to only 8. The Indians were one point behind with but a few seconds left to go, but Joe Garbarino was fouled and dropped in one of his two foul shots to knot the game at the 61 points apiece. In the following overtime period, the men from Ithaca were able to score 5 important points while holding the home team to only 2 to leave the court with a 66-63 margin of victory. NORTH 50-JOHNSON CITY 65 North, still looking for a chance to take first place, went down to J.C. to tangle with the Wild- cats for a game that North had to win for a chance for first place. ,I.C. would not be denied this game, and gave the Indians a lacing. This was because Red Lakata scored 30 points and, along with the help of Bob Barroweliff, controlled the backboards. Below: Ford Baker goes high in the air to take this shot during the Central garne.

Girl GIRLS, SPORTS The girls' sports season got under way with a rugged but fun-packed round of soccer games in which the senior belles were able to win over the juniors and sophomores. From this, the girls turned to the less vigorous sport of volleyball. In the sophomore league, the team captained by Sondra Clarke, came through in fi.rst place while in the junior-senior circuit, teams one and four tied for first. From the late fall until the early spring, basketball reigned supreme with the fe- male sports enthusiasts comprising seventeen teams which played in a sort of round robin schedule. The play was fast and hard but the girls came out none the worse for their playing. The later spring was spent playing soft ball. All in all, the girls, sports schedule offered a vari- ety of play for everyone to enjoy. N Club-First row: Pat Morar, Emily Wcinwurni, Gerry Krause, Pat Mokrohisky, Frances Townsend.

PEP CLUB Cold, crisp days . . . Football' days . . . That is when the Pep Club is most noticeable. You probably have seen them, in the reserved section with red and blue caps, fiying banners and stream- ers, and, of course, cheering our team on. These girls follow the cheerleaders and give forth with lusty yells. There are many new members this year who are fast learning the new cheers so that they can be the backbone of next year,s Pep Club.
