Basketball Forwards Centers Gllflfds Eones Richardson Efjgrifg Joseph C0Oke Hulse Thoroughgood Cole H King Murray ' Derrickson During the basketball season of 1934-85 the best basketball tean1 that has ever vvorn the colors of the Golden Knight compiled an amazing streak of victories to rnake a high goal for future George- town teams to strive to equal. A Captain Derrickson led the Knights into thirteen games be- fore they learned the stinging bitterness ol' defeat. After this de- feat, which was administered by an underrated Lord Baltimore team, the team romped through the renmaining games on the sched- ule and played a three-ganfie series with Middletown to determine state champion, south oi' Wilmington. Of the team that made this record, four graduate this year, which leaves Coach Raymond only one veteran player for the corner- stone of the next year's team. I could go on indefinitely telling of this great team, which was composed of as fine a group of boys as any coach could wish for, but I will list the scores and let you readers draw your own con- clusions. 32-33 we-they Alumni 36-24 Greenwood 82- I S 334314 Lewes 22-SLS 9Y'We Selbyville 30.21, John M.

Football Of The Past Years Three years ago a man came heer by the name of Eln1er Ray- mond. He was the new' athletic coach of the Georgetovvn High School, and in the three years he has accomplished miracles. The football team ol' '32 was composed of green men, as all the old ones had graduated. The team lost the first game of the season to Mil- ford by the score of 13-O. Heieafter they were no defeated. The next year the prospects for a team were brighter, Most of the rnembers were hack and vvere in excellent shape. The boys tore throuqh Frankford and Selbyville Without being scored on. Then they traveled to Salisbury and fought the best game of their career in a quagmire of mud, out-vveighted ten pounds to the man. The final score was 7-G. Derrickson returned a punt GO yards for the only score. The remainder of the games were won vvith ease. This year the team was composed of six veterans, the rest be- ing green nmen. The boys again lost the first ganme of the season to Milford, 13-12. They tiocl three and 'won Your for a good season. Captain '33 .... ........ W ulf Captain '34 ....
