Despite a poor finish which eliminated the little Lions from title contention, they were able to compile a creditable ll-5 record and a tie for second place in the Big Seven competition. Mr. Donald Zonno took over the reins as J.V. Basketball coach for the first time this season. Grove Beason and Ervin Reid led a well-balanced attack which carried the Lions to five straight victories at the beginning of the season. The outstanding game of the season was a 54-49 victory over the champion Tech Centaurs, the only game lost by the city J.V. champions. The performance of Ervin Reid, Karl Harris, Frank Potter, Grove Beason, and Jim Knowles, promises to keep Academy basketball on the upswing and carry the Blue and Gold to future champion- ships. Reid lets fly as Cermak, Knowles, and Gates observe approvingly. 28 f . .pay 3 , . 'fi 1' , ., , . t.. - - ' 'Q-K' lrp'i41':3'T7 ?-Aff -- . . Q . f Basketball J.V. Basketball: ROW I: G. Merryman, E.
