WARDE 28 WESTPORT .,.... 50 NOTRE DAME dribblers The female representatives of the crimson and white have achieved excellent records. The var- sity basketball squad, captained by Louise Elwood, maintained a triumphant season which was marred only by one loss to the undefeated Darien team. The Junior Varsity lassies ended their season hav- ing won and lost three games. The highlights for the 1959 varsity basketball sextet were two encounters with Ludlowe, in which the Warde tossers twice swept to victory: in the first game Warde tallied forty-eight points, Lud- lowe, twenty-two, in the second clash, Warde chalked up fifty-nine points, Ludlowe, thirty-four. Also, the Warde team drew two victories against Staples. In the two trouncings Warde scored high with twice and four times as many points as Staples. One of the most exciting games of the season was against Danbury, a team defeated only once, Warde further upset their almost per- fect record by rallying forty-three points to Dan- burys' twenty-eight. To climax their successful sea- son, the varsity girls challenged the boys' varsity, however, the boys played at a disadvantage, for they wore boxing gloves. The Junior Varsity team exhibited the great ability which will make the future girls' basketball teams triumphant. These female bucketeers con- quered Ludlowe, New Cannan, and Staples by a wide margin. In two thrilling games against Dan- bury and Ludlowe, they were defeated by only one point. Both the varsity and iunior varsity teams dis- played basketball skill which has marked the beginning of a series of future winning seasons for Warde.
