ERKELEY High ' s basketball season for the spring term of 1919 cannot be termed a success and still it was far from being a failure. The general chaos that held reign for some time due to the influenza epidemic interfered considerably with the basketball program, but let us forget the numerous setbacks that con- fronted Coach Morgan during the season and view our team at its real value. Berkeley High did not have a poor basketball team as was plainly seen when they were in action. Berkeley ' s team-work surpassed that of any other quintet that she opposed during her schedule. However that ancient hoodoo of unlucky basket shooting that seems to reside at Berkeley High was again present. Perhaps the Berkeley atmospheric conditions have something to do with the optical failures of our teams. But so far all proposed remedies have failed. Nevertheles Berkeley bowed only twice to her A. C. A. L. adversaries, these two games being lost to Fremont and Tech. If any one individual ever put all his facilities to a task and used them to their utmost extent it was Coach Morgan. The team realizes what his untir- ing efforts have meant to them and consequently the school as a whole should appreciate the value of his services. PRELIMINARY. (1) The first game of the season was played on the University court against the Frosh. At half time Berkeley held the high hand, the score being 15 to 12 in Berkeley ' s favor. However, the stamina of the older opponents began to tell and the final score was 28 to 35 in favor of the Frosh. (2) The following week the Frosh again took Berkeley High into camp, piling up 34 points to 22 made by B. H. S. The game was exceptionally fast through- out. Three of the Freshman team, however, were recent members of Berkeley High School teams, so the score can be accounted for. LIVERMORE. On the eve of March 16 Berkeley High ' s basketball prodigies journeyed through Niles canyon to the metropolis of Livermore to engage in friendly competition. However, after the contest had been going on for a few moments the true style of basketball was discovered. Livermore ' s Coach received the wrong rule book by parcel post and consequently a turf was needed for the fray. After the two teams had played roughly through two halves in a vacant dance hall, the final score stood 58 to 27, in favor of Livermore. However, the score does not indicate their ability to play basketball.

LEAGUE GAMES. Fremont 50 — Berkeley 33. For the third time in three successive seasons Berkeley High ' s inexperienced team was forced to play their first game with the A. C. A. L. champs, and con- sequently went down to defeat. Fremont by no means completely overshadowed Berkeley, as Berkeley shot twice as many times at the bucket, due to her superior team work. The final tally stood Fremont 50, Berkeley 33. Tech 29— Berkeley 18. Whether Tech was playing over her head, or Berkeley was in a slump, or both, is not known. But something was radically wrong. Berkeley could not find her stride and when the final whistle blew Tech was leading by a 29 to 18 score. Berkeley 33 — Oakland 31. In the closest and hardest fought game of the season Berkeley barely nosed out Oakland for a 33 to 31 victory. At half time Berkeley was leading by 5 points with Oakland determined to come back and reverse the lead. Con- sequently the second half was an excellent battle for supremacy. However, Berkeley ' s lead and aggressiveness proved too much for Coach Bock ' s proteges. Berkeley 30 — University 16. The final game of the season was played against University on our own court. The University quintet put up a hard fight but were outclassed in all departments. The final score stood 30 to 16 in favor of Berkeley. Thus ended the 1919 basketball season.
