The Jr. High baslcetball season started out with a squad of twenty-four, most of them staying out lor practice the whole season. A majority ot this large squad was seventh graders which is an indication ot the interest shown in Jr. High baslcetball in our school. According to Coach Sherwood it is also an indication of stronger Jr. High teams in the future, as most ol the size on the squad came from the seventh grade. These younger players were given a chance throughout the season to get valuable game experience, and, as a result, will be back next year as experienced players. This year the Jr. High sends tour freshman on to the varsity ranks, namely: Ed. Dundon, F. Slcelton, Ed. Roos and Tom Warner. All the good wishes ot the Jr. High squad go with these boys as they leave Jr. High. ln league competition the Baby Turtles won 5 games and lost 'IO and had to cancel one due to an epidemic of measles in Cambridge Springs. At the close ol the league season they were invited to participate in the second annual ALBION JR. HIGH INVWATIONAL TOURNAMENT which they accepted.

For the Edinboro Turtles, the 1945 grid season has been the best season lor several years. Although there were seldom enough boys lor two complete teams, the spirit was marvelous and the determination to improve was splendid. The success ol the season can be attributed to this line spirit and to the excellent coaching of Mr. Edgar Gumbert, new at Edinboro High School as ol 1945. ln regard to the season, the team made better scorings away from home than on their own Field. It is just one ol those things that cannot be explained. The team had exactly eight days to prepare to meet a strong Albion combine, who had been practicing lor several weelcs. During this time Coach Gumbert had to train practically a whole new baclclield. Being so unprepared, Edinboro lost its First start on September 'l4, by a score ol T3-6.
