1939 HARVEST 31 BASKETBALL THE cage game has always been a successful sport at Farm School and it has always had the enthusiastic support of the student body. During our freshman year the squad was almost a complete hold-over from the pre- vious year, so none of our classmates could break into the varsity. We did manage to provide cannon fodder , though, in the form of about half a dozen scrubs. Some of these men were Kopolow and Hobo Koslan. The season was a successful one, for the team won six of the schedule of eight games. The 1937 squad lost only two men through graduation and these holes were quickly plugged up with the debuts of Koslan and Butch Emil as varsity representatives of the ' 39 class. Emil and his heads-up ball playing helped save plenty of games with his passing. That year we won nine games of a scheduled twelve. Our bugaboos were Allentown, to whom we lost twice, and the Rider College Freshmen, who nosed us out in one game. This season was the end of Coach Bernard Zeigler ' s short two-season reign as basketball coach. We regretted seeing him leave in June of 1938, for he had left an enviable record behind him as a sports mentor. The 1938 season marked the return of Mr. Samuel B. Samuels to the coaching ranks of the hardwood floor sport. His team for that season will be remembered for its ability to come through and break our opponents ' winning streaks as in Rider College ' s nine-game streak and Atlantic City Trade ' s eleven- game streak. Our class was represented by Schull and Jacobson on the var- sity squad. BASKETBALL 1936 N.F.S. Opp. 42 Banks Business College 39 78 St. John ' s High School 34 32 P. I.
