It seemed to play in hard luck all year. Taking the ball from one end of the field to the Other only to lose it by a fumble or some other bad break in the shadow of the goal. There were no outstanding stars, with the possible exception of Captain Ding,' Schaeffer and Levan Smith, the only two men left from last year's team. Ding Schaeffer was re-elected captain, so it can easily be seen he was well liked and an inspiring leader. VVe lose very few men by graduation, and, with the help of the school, we are sure Ding will give us a winning team next fall. Summary Reading High 65 Hazleton High, 20.

RESERVES At the start of the season there was not a single veteran of previous years on the reserve squadg in fact, all of the boys were Sophomores and had no previous foot ball experience. From this material Coach Griffin developed a good fighting team, which lost to only one team, a team that should have played the first team. A study of the Reserves' record brings forth some remarkable facts. The high spots are the holding of the Seminoles to a O-0 score fthe Seminoles are the city champions in the semi-professional classj, the holding of Porter Vocational High School first team to a IQ-O score Qljorter held Shenandoah High School, champions of the Coal Regions, to a 6-O score at Shenandoahj, and the 0-O score of the Lebanon Reserves at Lebanon. After the first Porter game, Lease, Maier and Lesher were promoted to the first team and played regularly the remainder of the season. Adams also played on the first team in the last game of the season. Record: VValnut A. C. O, Reserves 65 Seminole A. C. O, Reserves og Lebanon Reserves O, Reserves og Windsor A. C.

Review Under the direction of Coach Snell, the Varsity Basket Ball Team enjoyed another remarkable season. Piling up 23 victories out of 28 starts against some of the best teams of this section, the Red and Black quintette fought its way into the finals of the sectional championship, losing to Nanticoke H. S. One of the fea- tures of Reading High records is the two victories gained over Harrisburg Tech. With a number of this year's team returning to school neat season, makes a great showing for another good season, and under the leadership of Captain-elect Samuel Goodman.
