FOOTBALL 1949 Dover High's football team was led by Captain Jerry Cullen who proved to be one of the best brokenfield runners Dover has had in many a day. The rest of the backfield was McNeil, Willis, and Cole. The line was spearheaded by four seniors, Nicholson, a hard-charging tackle, McMichael and Jamison, veteran guards, and Scanlon, standout end. Also playing a big part in Dover's victories were Shields, brilliant pass-catching end, Reed, spark plug at center, Hammond, dependable tackle. The loss of Harrington when he broke his ankle eary in th season was a hard blow. Dover loses ten senior lettermen this year: Cullen, Cole, McMichael, McNeil, Jamison, Scanlon, Bell, Nicholson, Harrington, and McGinnis. The team had a won-lost record four to two. The best game from the team's standpoint was the victory over heavily-favored Annapolis High. The best game from the spectators' angle was Sea- ford's victory over Dover in one of the best down- state games of the year. Bell and Hallet were managers and Mr. Koons was head coach. BOYS' BASKETBALL 1949-1950 Three contest of the 16 game season of the Var- sity basketball were outstanding. One was the flrst interscholastic game in ten years between Dover and Caesar Rodney when Dover won a 40- 33 victory before approximately 750 fans at the Field House. Even more exciting than this was the 46-44 victory over Milford in the last few minutes of play and Smyrna's 51-43 win over Dover when they scored 8 points in the final min- ute of play. The first team was composed of 4 juniors and 1 senior who became an ironman five as the sea- son went on. They were sparked by Shields aver-- aging 11 points a gameg Jamison, 10 points, Capt. Sylvester 8 points. The other starters were play maker Willis and dependable Thompson, Reed, Golt, Hammond, and Maloney were good sub- stitute performers. Jamison made the second string All-State Team. The J. V. team under Capt. McNeil made a fine record of 14 wins out of 16 games. R. Hammond and D. Boyer were managers and Mr. Duncan, coach. -Lg. gif' BASEBALL 1950 Dover High's season was highlighted by the debut of Mr. Stevenson as the new coach. Cap- tain Reed was supported by holdovers F. Bell Manlove, and the newcomers McMichael, Shock-, ley, Zartman, Frear, and Milton who added strength to the team. The managers were Maris, W. Carson, and Leathrum. HOCKEY 1949 Captain June Artis led the Varsity hockey team in the successful season of 5 games won, 2 tied, and 4 lost. Tying Georgetown and winning over Conrad were high achievements of the year. The main strength of the team was Betty Erdle, Delores Vittes, and the captain. Also the goalie, Margaret Frase, and the fullbacks, Pat Marker and Mildred Purcell. Jackie Hackett was manager and Miss Cain the coach. The J. V. Hockey team with Barbara Hayes, captain, came through with nine games won out of eleven. For next year's team Anne Layton, Sarah Purnell, and Mary Ann Sullivan look like good prospects. GIRLS' BASKETBALL 1949-1950 The Girls' Basketball Team of 1950 played their 12 game schedule with 4 wins and 8 losses. June Artis, the only senior on the team, was high scorer and proved very valuable in the hard-fought Georgetown game in which Dover triumphed. Delores Vittes was captain, Pat Marker, manager. Our J. V. team completed an 8 game season with 7 wins and only 1 loss. Completely overpowering Seaford at the beginning of the season was their big victory. Shirley Myers was captain and Mary Ann Sullivan, manager. Miss Cain coached both teams. GIRLS' SOFTBALL 1950 The softball team played a good schedule with Mary Emily Miller, capt.g Caroline Thompson, managerg Ann Herbst, score keeper, Miss Cain, coach. Losing but one senior, Pat Marker, pitcher, the team will be strong for the 1951 season. Page Forty-Three
