THE Al1l7Sl , i5 Y AN 27 BASEBALL June 1923 ended the most successful baseball season that Ardsley High School ever witnessed. The team did not have 'ieasy sailing with their schedule, as each game won was by the small margin ot one run. The game lost was also by one run. Every game was a thriller from beginning to end. There were times when victory seemed almost impossible, but Coach Gray and his Ardsley boys never gave up hope. it was at these times that the calm and consistent playing. cooperation and team work of each mem- lgjer of the team, brought to Ardsley, for the iirst time, the Championship -up. ' Since the close of that victorious season, Ardsley has had the sad mis- fortune of parting with seven of the players of the 1923 team, including the pitcher and catcher. This indeed is a great handicap which would no doubt cause many small teams to give up in despair: but no, Ardsley is de- termined, more than ever, to keep possession of the Cup. The winning of the Cup last year, the addition of promising recruitsg the persistent and determined efforts of each member, serves to spur the team on to duplicate the victory of last year, and establish another leg on this coveted Cup.

28 THE ARDSLEYAN BASKETBALL Another eventful season has closed without bringing any laurels to the boys. Although we have been none too successful, no one can say that the Blue and Gold gave up without a iight. Our games have been both close and exciting as anyone who witnessed them can tell you. The major- ity of our material was new, the class of '23 having taken three or four anchors. Then, too, our center, from whom we had expected much, inform- ed us that he was leaving his f'Alma Mater. Nevertheless, the new ma- terial proved itself sturdy and well seasoned. Each man gave his best and played the game. The following is a brief survey of the team: R. fCutieJ Barnett, a guard who plays with a tenacity that is extreme- ly annoying to his opponents and extremely encouraging to his team. K. CSquirrelJ Brown, an impenetrable, impregnable guardg the fear of opposing coaches and teams. He was elected Captain of next season's team. S. QSoupJ Kamke, Captain and guard-forward, was the only regular from last year. He never lacked effort in trying to lead his team to victory. He is leaving us this year and we wish him success. Goodbye and good luck, Soup. K. fRedJ McPhee, a hard working and hard fighting forward. In the game just look for the ball and you will ind Red. A. fKid Speedy Roberts, a forward who earned his name on the floor because of the metoric pace he set while playing. During the Christmas holidays, while playing in a practice game, our star received a broken arm which forced him from the game almost the entire season. F. fFootsieJ Vogel, a regular grasshopper center, who outjumped most of his opponents and followed shots with an accuracy that has scored many points for old Ardsley. E. fPopeJ Leone, a forward distinguished for his speed and lightning passes. He's no Pope on the floor. A. fBuffaloJ Underhill a guard conspicuous for his flying tactics. Al- though he animated his man considerably by his energetic and damaging methods, his work was both effective and well done. D Stick with them, Second team. You are Ardsley's future stars. Per- sistent effort will prove your worth, and win for you a place on the team. Bennett and Wilson loom up as promising material for next year's team. Stuart Kamke '24.
