S. proteges was not as great as that Q of former seasons, the success in forming new material was greater. Basketball knowledge, experience, and the fundamentals of the game were gained by the new candidates who will form next year's quintet. This 1 five should be a record' breaking team. - C In seventeen games Morgantown won nine and lost eight. Four of 'T these defeats were administered by the strong Elkins and Shinston High ii teams, both runners-up in the state tournaments. The Red and Blue five 'i made a sweep of their two game series with Masontown, champion of the 'i Preston County League, and the two games with Mannington. 9 4 The team split even with Fairmont East Side, Fairmont West Side, and Farmington. M. H. S. also won two games from Blacksv-ille and ll Kingwood. 1' 9 lf The varsity forwards were Bill Parriott and Cheat Kennedy who pro- pl. vided the oHense during the first semester. Parriott played his last game 'I for M. H. S. against Fairmont West Side. It was then necessary to fill 1 Parriott's position with a capable man. Mutt Sprouse was shifted from 1' the pivot post to this position and proved himself to be an efficient for- 'I ward. Bob Snyder then gained a berth with the first five for the remain- 4 der of the season. Captain Ashworth and George Pyle provided a strong ' defense and held the opponents down below the thirty-five point mark the 'f entire season. They added their share to the scoring list. Shurtz, Post, ' Schaffer, and Smith, proved to be efficient utility men and were always L to be counted on to do their part. if Glenn Ashworth, Bill Parriott, George Pyle, Earl Sprouse and Dale ' r Post played and ended their high school basketball careers this season. ' The success of next year's team will rely on Cheat Kennedy, who has three ' more years, Harold Shurtz, Francis Shaffer, and Robert Snyder. 4 Captain ,,,,., ........

WILLIAM MADIGAN-Halfback. Bill showed himself to be a good ball-carrier and although he was well under the one hundred and forty pound mark, he registered as a hard hitting tackler. He is a good open field runner and hits the line hard, having threatened to be a full- back instead of a halfback. This was Bill's last year with the team. Bill could pass and punt effectively. JOHN MCKINNEY-Halfback and Fullback. John has two more years to play for the Red and Blue, and we expect great things from him. He will be the only letterman left in the backfield which means that he will have to help the other boys along. John played a good game at half- back or fullback and was one of the best utility men on the squad. Quite a few reserves show promise for the backfield next year. ALLAN PHILLIPS-Guard. Phillips played his first year of foot- ball this year, and proved to be a real find. Of course he had to learn but Coach Clyde saw a good prospect in him and gave him some time. His strength was overpowering and, after he learned the game, his onslaughts proved effective. On the defense his work was outstanding and he was a fast man on the offense. Injuries sustained against West Side, Fairmont kept him from the final games. ROBERT SUMMERS-Center and Guard. Bob proved that he was a real fighter and liked the rough-stuff. Bob was an excellent util- ity man. He played guard, center, and at one time went in at tackle. He went through the line and hit 'em hard. Bob should make good next year as his fight will inspire the other boys. JOHN MORRIS-Manager. Johnnie is known to every athlete as the best little manager around. He was always willing to do his best for the fellows at any time. We'll miss Johnnie around the dressing room next year. 5 W gm L..
