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 ,,,,., ........

The track team only participated in the sectional and state meet this year. Snow prevented the meets scheduled with neighboring high schools. At the Clarksburg sectional meet, Morgantown captured third place, how- ever, six men qualified for the state meet, including William Parriott, who scored points in the runs and pole-vault, Morris in the hurdles, Hines in the runs, Martin and Lewis carried away honors in the high jump and Smitln did exceptionally well in the javelin and discus. The state meet proved another pitfall for Morgantown's track teamg the only winner in this meet being Parriott. A new track has been completed which should enable Morgantown's future track teams to place themselves among the outstanding track teams of the state. This new track is the result of Coach Clyde's efforts to establish better athletic conditions for Morgantown High School. Page one hmzdred thirty-fhrcf'
