Like the track season, the BASEBALL season at the Hilltop had not been launched when the 'AMaroon and White went to press. However. Davisites, accustomed to top-notch teams for the last five years, were looking forward to another championship. For when the Davis nine hears the cry of play ball and go to bat in the first inning of the seasons opener at Yonkers, it will try to bring the VV. I. A. A. Championship home to Davis for the sixth year in succession. The record of the coming season could not very well be predicted though. This years team was entirely made up of new faces. not a member of last year's varsity having returned to bolster it.

KEEP YOUR EYE Those who are at all interested in Davis athletics will probably never forget this year's varsity BASKETBALL TEAM. Its record will certainly not stand out as one of the best in Davis' history. However. there is no particular shame attached to it, for not one of last year's fine squad had returned to support it. We can see that when Herb Ramsey, Chuck Sposato. Jim Mclntyre. Ed Lara-ia and Jake Sullivan took to the floor in the early part of the season, they not only lacked height and weight. but also were hungry for experience. The boys weren't hopeless, though. as they can boast a hard-fought victorv over a favored Edison five. The intra-city contest was fought right down to the wire, but the little Davis ftve was not to be denied in protecting the prestige of the Hilltop. The Maroon emerged victorious by the score of 36-35. In the White Plains game, the boys again rose to traditional heights, throwing a scare into the county champs by hard-pressing them throughout the whole game. A last minute heave was the only break that saved White Plains from defeat, the game ending 42-40 in favor of the Plainsmen. Outstanding in the Davis scoring column was Chuck Sposato, who with his continual sharp-shooting managed to keep nets all over the county busy. Herb Ramsey's hook shots paced the team to many a victory. as did Jim McIntyre's sets. Ed Laraja was there to set the boys up, and wasnt shy in the scoring column either. Other out- standing courtmen were Joe Hammond, Joe Vincento. Albert DeSantola, Isaia Carucci, and fighting Jake Sul- livan. whose induction into the U. S. Army in midseason was a hard blow to the team. lDlfN'liIl5ICATlON -fllightj Kneeling: I. Cfarrncci. C. Sposato. H. Ramsey: Standing. J Vincento. J. Hammond. E. Laraia. J. Mclnlyre. A.

THE BALL Hit it! Hit it! resounds from the girls' gym. Once again two teams are battling tooth and nail in the inter- class VOLLEY BALL contest. After a week's practice of serves and vollies the class teams launch a campaign against each other. Each team plays every other team. This year there was one casualty-Gloria Orsen-igo broke a finger, although many other girls had stiff muscles. After a successful campaign, the Senior 2 team. under Lisheth Hansen. won the Maroon volley letters. The other teams claim the Senior 2's had more practice, but the Senior Z's say they are superior volleyball players. After the result of the contest they seem to be right. close, the closest score being 22fl7, and the other extreme. '55-0. Basketball is a game which requires the skill of shoot- ing a basket . ln this game it is generally assumed that the team with the most practice will win. That' is why the Junior-tirst team, under the leadership of Lorraine Cornely. caused such a sensation, and why the Senior-first team is blushing. In the championship games the Junior- Hrst team took top honors and the Junior-second team second place. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE e Date Oppon nts Winner lieb. Junior vs. Soph.
