ho eee EAS TERNGAGADEMY === L937: The 1936-’37 season was very successful for the Girls’ Basketball team. The finest thing of all the fine things about this team, I believe, was their spirit of loyalty and cooperation. If there is anything that helps a great deal, it is this loyalty and cooperation that represents the Blue and Gold. Our high scorers were Emma Kuiken and Jeanette Sisco. Our scores at each game were as follows: Eastern Academy Opponents Visiting Teams JA 29 St. Bons 20 39 E. A. Alumnae 35 18 Church of Messiah 18 12 St. Luke 49 26 Church of Messiah 17 23 E. A.

1937 ——— EASTERN ACADEMY=———= 1937 On April 28 E. A. traveled to Pennington Park to play St. Joe’s. This game was Academy’s first win and proved to be St. Joe’s third setback. Our whole team played fine ball throughout the game. Besides limiting them to only three hits and fanning eleven, Doug Bush also hit out two singles and batted home three runs. The only time our team was in trouble was in the fourth when two of St. Joe’s men hit safely and a pair of errors permitted two runs to come across. The final score was 4—3 in favor of E. A. On May 3 E. A. dropped a heartbreaker to St. Mary’s at Totowa Oval, the score being 12—5. We had three different pitchers in the box, namely, Doug Bush, Bob Meima and Pete De Vries. Between the three of them they managed to hold St. Mary’s pretty well. In this game our second baseman, Neil Buis, hit a three base hit. In spite of the score our team was determined to give them a better game in the near future. On May 7 E. A. captured its second victory of the season when it scored a 2—0O shutout triumph over St. Luke’s at Haledon Recreation Field. Doug Bush and Johnny Krupinski hooked up in a pitching duel, but Doug came out the winning pitcher. He allowed only three safeties and fanned ten men. In ‘the second inning Zuidema’s single produced both runs, Steen and Eelman com- ing across after getting on previously with hits. Our veteran mound ace also starred at the plate with a double and single to his credit in three trips. In fact our whole team hit well in this game. On May 13 E. A. traveled to Montclair to play Montclair High. Our boys got off to an early lead and maintained it throughout the entire game. Eelman’s timely hitting, three out of three times at bat, was one of the biggest factors in winning the game. He also batted two runs across. Our pitcher, Doug. Bush, was not up to his usual form, however, he struck out five men. He had good backing by the entire team. E. A. chalked up a well earned victory by a score of 38—2. On May 21 E. A. met St. Joe’s again at the Haledon Recreation Field. It was a nip and tuck game. The batters of both teams made well placed hits and at the right time. The score was 4—4 until the last inning when an error by one of our men caused the winning run to come across for the benefit of St. Joe’s. Our pitcher, Doug Bush, again pitched the entire game striking out five men. Eh. A. played a fine brand of ball throughout the entire game and gave the pitcher good support. The game ended with the heartbreaking score of 5—4 with E. A. on the wrong end. On May 25 E. A. again broke back into their winning streak by defeating St. Luke’s 6—4 at Allendale. Throughout the game our team had well placed hits. Although the umpire was against our team very frequently, this did not daunt our players. Instead of giving up they went into the game and showed their sportsmanship. In this game our other pitcher, namely, Bob Meima, pitched the entire game. He came through very well and struck out 6 men. Both our infield and out- field showed some very good playing and managed to take care of the few scattered hits. On June 4 E. A. played Montclair at the Pennington Park Field. Again in this game Meima pitched the entire game. Meima allowed only five hits and struck out eight men. Besides having a good day in the pitcher’s box, Meima also did well at bat and batted in a run. In the third inning E. A. really went to town. We scored all our five runs in this inning. Steen led the batting attack with two singles. This game was EK. A.’s second shutout game of the season. The final score was 5—O in favor of E. A. twenty
