BASKETBALL ln the 1952 basketball team, as usual, was under the guiding hand of coach Robert Hoehn. The starting forwards were Allen Reed and Greg Bova. Center was Tony Vita, and one guard spot went to Buddy Russell, The other position was a tossup between Mal Segar and Frank Plunkett who alternated. The policy was for game captains, so there was no regular leader. The opener was won over Hun School 47 - 43, as the cadets got off to a flying start, but the next contest was quite a let-down when P. M. C. Prep won, 66-59. A rematch with Hun was another victory, 57-43, although the Red and Black team tied things in the third quarter to make a real go of it. The Little Army made it three out of four by running over Admiral Farragut Academy in their next outing, 65 f 32, but the month of january ended in a loss when they met Riverside High School and ran into an overtime period before losing. After this they lost several players, and, although they obviously had the makings of a good ball club, lack of bench strength caused them to 'fade' in the second half of most games. They absorbed consecutive drubbings from Barnard School, Princeton High School, Valley Forge and Pennington. Third row: Managers VValclman, VVells. Wbckenfuss.

The 1952 junior Varsity Basketball team has played eight games, winning two and losing six. Guided by Mr. Marvin O. Borst they are developing several players who are almost sure-fire for the 1953 varsity. Whitney Nolte, the center, scored ninety-eight points, and seems on his way to at least one hundred fifty points for the year. Tony Carabelli, a forward, is performing somewhat erratically, but at his best is a fine prospect for the future as are several others. I BASKETBALL The 1952 juniors had Mr. Howard E. Husker as coach, and the unusual training schedule of afternoon study hall and evening practice. They have won about half of their games from such teams as the Borden town High School Freshmen, St. Mary's Grammar School and the Bordentown Warriors. The juniors are composed of sophomores, fresh men, and junior school cadets, the idea of the team being to give the younger boys, who do not have much chance of making the varsity or jayvees a chance to play, and at the same time to provide those older teams with a steady supply of experienced players in years to come.
