KEEP THAT BALL!!!! Boys Basketball At the beginning of the season of basketball, the outlook for the boys’ basket- ball team was not very bright. Only two lettermen from last year returned, Howard Crawson (Guard), and Bill Anderton (Forward). Since the rest of the boys had no experience in playing together with team work, a difficult problem faced Coach Farrar. Despite these drawbacks, the boys, with many days of hard work and prac- tice, soon made a united team. The boys showed their willingness to work and play together. Though the basketball team did not win every game, the boys fought every game out to the very end. The boys in the basketball team have showed that traditional fighting spirit and good sportsmanship that is now a living part of Alexander Park High School.
