BMSKETBALL In measuring the success of a basketball season, the factors of coaching, sportsmanship and game scores must be considered. No team can hone for victori- without the direction of a competent coach and lender. Mr, X7OI'lBClll'9ll 'began the season with a lisrht weisht nndevelorerl squad. Working patiently and thoroughly he developed the team around his strongest player, Wayne Denman The respect and loyalty of the squad for Mr. VonBehren is demionstra-ted hy the way in which they carried out instructions and plans. From Same to game their ability in the HSP of offensive and defensive plays increased. Each player realized that he had a definite Job to do, and he did it to the best df his ability, The way in which each man co- operated with his teammates produced a snmoti, working and hard tigrtting squad. Sportsmanship, ilhat finality ot trcatinu' ottei plavcrs you would like to be treated has' always been a well-developed trait among: our teams, The team can feel justly proud of their 1940-41 record. Never once, when the going was rough and defeat seemed almost certain, did the players resort to ufiethical fiction. Tihey played clean and hard, thereby winning the respect of their opponents and the applause of the spectators. Last, but not least, we must review the game scores. At first tlhcsc seemed to indicate a very nnsuccesstul year. Let ns look at the record. In each game our opponents were superior by four inches in height and fifteen pounds in weight. The game averages show only 5.4 superiority of score. 'Flhis is about three baskets per game. Speed and the handling of the ball kept the opposition from going on a, fi-erin: marathon. ln spite of just 7 victories and 15 defeats, when the season is viewed from the total score, East Lynn can he proud of its team. When we note the steady growth ol the squad loyalty, cooperation, playing: ability and sportsmanship the ga-me Scores seem to fade into the distance, giving place to those sound qualities of character which are the aims of all athletic endeavor. AS 63.0411 member develops his skill, the team as a whole consequently functions more efficiently. This season was one of steady improvenzeni, for East Lynn. Each man contributed his share to the best ol' his ability. Wayne Denman, the key man of the team, set the 1940-41 record in the county for the higlhest number of points in a single game. His offensive game from the pivot position was always a threat to his opponents.
