i' The following Wednesday two teams both unde feared in league play engaged in what was probably the most important game of the season Playing on the long narrow Hotchkiss court the Gunnery with Parks and Sherwood scoring from underneath and Bradshaw Mortell and Cohn popping in shots from outside emerged on the long end of a 46 47 score over a smooth working Hotchkiss combine Kent was stopped handily on the Red and Gray court 49-35 for the twelfth straight win. Number 13 didn't come quite as easily for Canterbury on their tricky home court kept a lead over the Gunnery quin- tet right up to the last minute when Paul Morrell swished through the tying point with a foul shot. Dick Cohn made good a set shot for a 2-point lead which was widened by Sherwoods two-marker as the buzzer sounded giving the Red and Gray a 42-38 tussle. Wooster and Watkinson both were thumped by con- vincing scores of 63-26 and 68-36 as Bradshaw totaled 47 counters in the two games. Coach Beebe took his boys to town the night of March Sth to take on the smooth-working Washington Townie combine in an exhibition game played for the benefit of the Washington High School Athletic Fund. The overflow crowd got their moneys worth as the Townies, after trailing by 12 points at halftime, came right back and forced the game into overtime, but lost out on missed foul trys thus enabling The Gun- nery to best them by a 41-40 score, Gunnery sensing an anticlimax if it lost its last game really put on the heat as the team completely overpowered Hotchkiss with quick ball handling and Bradshaw s 31 point outburst to record a 61 40 victory and bring their skein of wins to 17 straight Outstanding this year was the manner in which stress was not on individual team players as in the past but in the working of the Gunnery quintet as a unit of five men out to win a basketball game. 1-aul Morrell proving his worth as Captain was a menace to opposing centers throughout the league due to his outstanding defensive play. Offensively he was a scoring threat at all times. Bruce Bradshaw Gunnerys high scoring ace led the team and the league with 303 points. His one-hand shot and driving layups pros ed too much for all opposi- tion. Dick Sherwood converted to a backboard man by Coach Beebe played brilliant ball all season control- ling both backboards and finding time in between to perfect a hook-shot which was unstoppable. Guard Dick Cohn the brilliant set-shot artist and playmaker of the '49 squad, broke up many a tight zone with his deadly sets. In the tight games his ball handling ability proved invaluable. Last but not least, an equally important cog in the well-rounded unit was diminutive Clayt Parks, the rough and tumble guard, who set up many of the scor- ing plays and played outstanding defensive ball.
