AMESBURY vs. DANVERS The Amesbury High quintet clung to a seven point half- time lead and ultimately downed Danvers High 4l-38. The Red and Gray crew got off to an early start and were ahead at the half 26-I9. The fourth period proved too much for the Onion Towners, and Amesbury went out in front to win over a strong Danvers quintet. Amesbury High's basketeers assured themselves of fourth place in the Northeastern Conference race, when they downed Danvers High 60-4l. Once again Captain Tom Sullivan, netting I6 points, took high scoring honors. Ames- bury High bullied its way out in front to win by the over- whelming score of 60-4I. AMESBURY vs. WINTH ROP The winning streak of the Amesbury High basketball team came to a sudden halt when the Amesbury five lost to Winthrop by a score of 50-35. Bernetein, playing for Winthrop, spelled defeat for Amesbury when he caged I2 points. Sullivan and English paced the Indians, but, even so, they could not match the strong Winthrop club and Ames- bury lost 50-35. ln the second contest, Amesbury High's basketeers were crushed by Winthrop 68-52. Winthrop submerged the Red and Gray under a I5 point barrage in the opening period and racked up a surprising half-time advantage of 42-l5. ln the third and fourth stanza, they pushed way out in front and went on to win by a wide margin. AMESBURY vs. MARBLEH EAD With Captain Tom Sullivan and Joe Kardek combining for 25 points, our boys played their best game of the season, nearly jolting Marblehead out of first place before losing to the headers 50-46. Actually, the game was won on the foul line, with Marblehead making good ,on ten free throws. In the second game, the Marbleheaders leaped out to an early IO-7 first period lead and kept up a-steady barrage of baskets to give Amesbury one of its worst lickings. At the half, the Headers were out in front by the score of 29-l7, and in the 3rd and 4th stages the Indians were held to I3 and 8 points respectively. The Magicians pulled more than double that out of their hat. AMESBURY vs. NEWBURYPORT Friday, the thirteenth, proved no jinx to the Amesbury High hoopsters. The Indians defeated their arch rivals, the Newburyport Clippers, 25-22. At the half-time, Amesbury trailed'l2-9. We fought back in the third and final periods paced by Sullivan and English to put Amesbury out in front 25-22. In the second game with Newburyport, the Ames- bury quintet once more downed their rivals, this time by a score of 49-37. The Joppa boys led I8-I7 at the half-time, but the Indians piled up 20 points, with English personally accounting for I0 of them during the second half. It was Amesbury all the way, never with less than a I0 point lead. AMESBURY vs. SAUGUS lt wasn't even a contest as Amesbury High's basketball squad racked up its second Northeastern Conference victory by pounding a weak Saugus High 55-2l. Saugus jumped into an early 9 point lead, but the Red and Gray came along fast and went on to win by an overwhelming score. In the second game Amesbury High rang down the curtain on its I950 basketball season by coasting to a 44-33 vic- tory over Saugus. This victory clinched fourth place in the Northeastern Conference for A. H. S. AM ESB U RY vs. SWAMPSCOTT The opening of the Northeastern Conference found Ames- bury losing to a strong Swampscott five. Swampscott took advantage of Amesbury's weakness at the foul line, pinning a 34-28 defeat on us. The spark plugs for the Red and Gray were Buster Ouellette and Mugger McGloin. Amesbury High had the Swampscott Sculpins on the ropes for three-quarters of its Northeastern Conference tilt. The Indians cooled 'off in the final period and lost the game 56-47. Amesbury, paced by Ed Roy, led at the half 29-24. The Sculpins went on a scoring spree in the final minute and one half to turn the game into a lop-sided victory.
