iw 1 O IIIIIC' is feeling Yes, time was fleeting and it's lucky that it did fleet before our opponents had a chance to rack up more points. BASKETBALL is another sport that the Davisites didn't exactly shine in, but our quintet was always fighting hard at the final whistle. As a matter of fact, in a game with Mamaroneck last season, the l-lilltoppers rallied desperately in the closing period of the tilt to come within three points of victory when the fi- nal whistle sounded. Oustanding among the Ma- roon hoopsters was Angelo Fuciletti, who led our section of the county in scoring, lt seems odd that such a brilliant forward and high scorer should be produced by a team with so few vic- tories to its credit. The squad got off to a quick start many times but almost always trailed at the half, and there were only a few times when Mr. Palombella's men were leading at the close of thcse court battles. Of course, there is always the future to look into, and with no one leaving, the outlook for next year is really bright. Looking back at last season though, I can remember those thrilling after- noons and evenings that l spent shouting my lungs out for the basketball squad of my dear old Alma Mater, only to watch them go down in hopeless defeat. One of the hardest fought tilts was against New Rochelle. ln the battle with the l-luguenots at the Davis gym one Friday evening, the Davis- Pagc sixty-six i 'llll l fig iii yi, gg A iv t MSM, LL Qi!

Then some giant of about six feet six inches stalked out on the court for the New Rochelle quintet and the rest of the game was for the birds, or, in sim- pler language, it was massacre. This boy, it seemed, could take everything off the boards. The junior Varsity wasn't exactly of cham- pionship caliber either. l-lowever, they did man- age to obtain one brilliant victory over Mamaro- neck. This proved that there was some good var- sity material for future years.
