' . . - As predicted at the beginning of the season, Marshall's basketball team proved to be a championship one. b Composed of four veterans from' last' year's varsity squad and the remainder from last year's reserves, it proved itself. as fast, clever, and practically unbeatable quint. -They won thirteen out of the fourteen league games, being defeated by Tech after they had the pennant in theirhandsq They owe a .great deal to the brilliant coaching of Albert Makin. H 7 4 Nucchi and Smith did excellent jobs at forwards, Sondermangoutjumped all but one center, and Gratzer and Triano made up the backbone of the defense at the guard positions. The pony boys Klein, Sizer, Pilaroscja, and Isabella showed their mettle in many games. Nucchi and Sonderman were elected to the Times4Union and Democrat and Chronicle all-scholastic teams. ' E , , Winning the city championship, the Marshall cohorts had the privilege of representing Rochester in the State sectional meet at the University of Rochester. They easily defeated Geneseo, 46-24, but were eliminated after a tough battle with Canandaigua by the score of 32-23. They would not end the season with a loss, however, and copped their consolation game with Lyons by 29 to 20. Also, Nick Nucchi brought honor to Marshall, by winning the foul shooting contest. He tossed in 26 out of 30 fouls. At the end of the season the team was given a dinner by the two Hi-Y's, at which each member was presented with a gold basketball charm by Mr. Ulrich. This brought an end to a very colorful basketball season. The reserve team also were very successful. They ended up in second place which proves that there is good material for future varsity squads. twenty five

' mlm I -, LIIHEIAI' Extreme Measures Prize Story 5 ARK eyes peering from between cool green leaves watched from on high the tiny speck' of white. Under the blazing sun of the 'A ' 'J' South Seas the speck drifted lazily out to sea with the tide. The two occupants of the yawl waved a final good-bye to the islanders, and then busied themslves with the sails as a breeze caught the mainsail and sent it scurrying across the deck. They're a wonderful people, Doc! ex- claimed Mr. XVilliam Gwlnnet, jr., better known as Bill to Doc. Right you are, Bill, said the Doc, whose name when written in full was Doctor Henry Richards. And so carefree and so hospitable, Bill went on, not noticing the Doc's reply. You know, Doc, I'd like to live down here. Not much to do, I mean not much work is neces- sary, and it's so restful and romantic and . . . Yeah, interrupted the Doc, and there are snakes and sharks and storms and-oh well, all of my people, American I mean, all think the same way. It's all right when you're just vacationing down here Bill, but as to living here the rest of one's life, I don't know. Uh huh, grunted Bill in a dreamy wayg anyway, I think I'd like to stay here just the same. The Doc looked at Bill and sighed. Yes, he knew how Bill felt. But that feeling would be entirely gone when they were once more out at sea. W'ork does wonder for a man, twenty-six and work, he hoped, would do wonders for Bill. Doc knew about Bill's being shell- shocked during the war. Bad case too, accord- ing to government reports. Not that Bill showed any signs of it. Quite the contrary. He was a calm, intelligent person, quiet in his ways and not bothering anyone. Nice chap, Doc decided, and he reached for an orange that was rolling aimlessly about the deck. Bill watched Doc reach for the orange. A queer duck, he thought, But he liked Doc. Doc had met Bill in a New York club, and Bill in a friendly moment had mentioned that he had been over-seas. Doc said that he too had been in France. Bill invited Doc to his apartment the next night and Doc invited Bill to go on a round-the-world cruise. And that's how they happened to be sailing in this para- dise. Bright -blue skies above and warm blue waters surrounding them. Ah, truly a heaven. Yes, truly a heaven until Doc stretched languidly and gently hinted that it was Bill's turn to get the meal. Bill grunted an unin- telligible reply and turned over. Doc slid gently across the smooth deck, abandoning the tiller for a moment, and struck Bill a resound- ing whack on the head. Bill jumped up, just in time to meet the mainsail, which, when Doc let the tiller go, had caught the breeze and swung sharply to port. XVith a slight gasp he sank motionless to the deck. Doc secured the tiller with the guide ropes along the side of the yawl, and then gently lifted Bill to the cabin below the deck. After inspecting the wound, Doc bandaged
