BOYS' BASKETBALL Winning but four games, including the Kiwanis, the Eddystone lads, despite the record shown, had a fine but inexperienced team. The team as a whole was too small for its rangy oncoming opponents. What our boys lacked in height, they made up in fight. But inexpcrience was again the main factor. This quintet, which featured the fast breaking Bill Barnett and the plays oi lanky Iesse Kay, often worried the opposition. Entering the Kiwanis as a dark horse, Eddystone hit the full stride by turning back a highly talented Marple-Newtown team. Eddystone was de- feated early in the season by the same quintet. In the quarter-finals Eddystone bowed to Upper Darby in a hard fought contest. Several Sophomores broke into the starting line-up in this season's cam- paign. Among the outstanding were Earl Wentzel, Ioe Cash, and Iack Laird. With such promising material, and under the able leadership of Coach Wilmer Fryer, the team's outlook for the coming season will be much brighter. xlsuff' 53
