■i We let down ' Varsity team dribbles into Having played in one of the toughest }-A leagues in the area, the Yellow jackets took litlh place. Placing lourth or tilth in the Ivy League would have put you in the play-otts anywhere else. said Varsity Basket- hall Coach Bob Suartz Otiensively we played up to our ability in putting points on the board, but defensively we did not do as well as we could have, we let down. explained varsity coach Swartz. Predicting the team ' s outcome as 7-7 Coach Swartz was olt by two games as the jackets were 5-9 in the Ivy League and 8-11 overall. Noting the team ' s main problems as size, speed, and inconsistency the coach oi nine years stated, It was hard to get the proper match-up. When we needed size and played a big line up we lacked speed and hen we needed speed we were small and it hurt in rebounds. Add- ing the solution to the problem Swartz said, We needed size and speed in the same person. As tor inconsistency the coach explained, We never knew where the points were going to come trom lor sure, the only consistent shooter we had was Roger Layne. Guard Roger Layne was voted the Most aluable Player while Stu Hall was Leading Rebounder and the tost Improved Player was Kevin Warner. — Ingrid Warpness 1.
