APTAIN Jerry Pearce was transferred from his last year ' s berth at Center to the position of Forward, and it was found at this position Jerry was a hard one to guard. His basket throwing was a feature of every game played and it is with pride that B. H. S. can boast that Jerry will be here another year. Louie LeHane of last year ' s team was another veteran who was in the bucket-throwing position this year, though at the early season games he was at a guard position. LeHane will not be with us next year as he will be an alumnus then. Walter Smith at center was a tower of strength to the team and would be to any team. Smith has yet to find the center who can take the ball away from him at the tip off . We will have Smith with us another year. Babe Witter, though not as diminutive as his name implies, was the fastest man on the floor and it is thought by several that Babe covered miles . His head work was good and many a mistake was rectified by this heady player. We wish Babe success on the U. C. Frosh team next year. Morrie Iverson, back from service with Uncle Sam, was in good condition to start in basket work immediately. With him at guard there were very few men able to throw baskets without some particular skill which Morrie had not yet encountered. He will be one of the mainstays for next year ' s team. Dick To wnsend, the lightest man on the team and by far the most slippery , was a pyramid of strength to Berkeley ' s quintet. Dick graduates this year. Herb Ross surely made up for his size in pep and fight. His team work and his starting of passing rushes was a feature of every game and his man- aging of these passes has merited him the position of manager for next year. The word Buddie is enough. A more faithful worker, or more earnest sportsman cannot be found. Buddie strengthened in the last part of the season to such an extent that had there been a longer season there would have been no question but that he would have been a steady player for all games. Consequently Buddie was chosen to pilot next year ' s quintet. MORRIS IVERSON JACK WITTER LOUIE LE HANI K ODV 0U5TJN

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.
