Boysg Basketball The boys' basketball squad, al- though hampered by injuries and sickness, turned in a fair season with seven wins and nine losses. The sea- son opened with a loss to the state championship Bluehill team on their floor. This was followed by losses by close scores at Islesboro and Brooklin, at the latter in an over- time game. The team finally struck its stride against Castine when Charlie Poitras poured 25 points through the nets. Two of the most satisfactory games were the return games with .W Ir! Bluehill and Islesboro. In the former the team matched the Blue- hill team basket for basket in the first quarter and led for a short time in the second period before the op- ponents gradually drew ahead. In the Islesboro game here the fast and scrappy visitors jumped into a twelve point lead in the first quarter as they held our boys scoreless. Deer Isle came back in the second quarter and trailed by four points at the half, 17 to 13. Shortly after the opening of the last period Deer Isle went ahead, lost the lead, and then went

ahead again to finish in front 44-34. Islesboro was the opposing team in the tournament game, which we lost in an overtime period after leading most of the way. In mid-season the team was un- fortunate in losing Chum Milan as the result of an ankle injury just as he was reaching his peak. Chicken- pox removed Ben Pickering, regular forward, and Jerry Hutchinson for the last games and the tournament as well. Even the bus was noteim- mune from misfortune, and the re- turn trip from Castine will long be remembered. Evidence that all was not well appeared early, as we crawled over the smallest hills in lowest low. Finally in South Penob- scot we started walking up the hills, and the old lady eventually expired in Brooksville. A flying squadron of parents rescued us in the small hours of the morning. Dr. Elwood Eaton later diagnosed the difficulty and a major operation was per- formed. This year's first team consisted of Lindsey Milan, center, Ben Picker- ing and Charles Poitras, forwards, Frank Pickering and Bruce Haskell, guards. Chandler Barbour and Wil- fred Conary substituted for Milan and Ben Pickering. Other squad members were Norman Haskell, Ar- chie Pickering, Norwood Greenlaw, and Philip Hall. A freshman-sopho- more squad which had been operat- ing as a second team joined the regulars after Christmas. These included Hubert Billings, Murray Barbour, Maurice Robbins, Jerauld Hutchinson, and John Small. Charles Betts was the team manager. Season's Scoring FG F PTS C. Poitras 90 41 221 B.
