VARSITY BASKETBALL although Edison as @ high school is Only 5 years old, its 44-45 basket- ball team has earned the Teputetion of being the highest scoring in the district, with 1007 points to its credit in 20 gemes. This is an average of over 50 points per gaue. During one game the Blazers piled up 87 points. Even though we lost our first gane in the Sectionals, we were scknowl- edged as being one of the most Sportsmeanlike tesms in the tourney. In the - individual scoring field, 4 of our boys broke the 100 point mark. They i were: Dukeman, f 278; Forsberg, c 258; Peters, f 163; Walters, g 104. But scoring isn't the only phase of the game. The morale of the team is vitally essential to the winning of the game and must be kept high. This — job was done very well by our cheerleaders, Norma Jean Peters, Gordon McLaughlin, and Dorothy Ordean. : DATE OPPONENTS Edison Opp. DATE OPPONENTS Edison Opp. Nov. 10 Merrillville 38 Dec, 22 Hammond C.C, 63 a) Nov. 15 Liberty Center 71 23 Jan. 12 Merrillville 35 33 s Nov. 17 Lew Wellece Bp 50 39 Jan. 19 East Gery 57 51 a] Nov. 22 Dyer 61 38 Jan. 26 Dyer 87 24 Nov. 24 Gary Roosevelt 43 40 Feb. 2 Wheeler 63 21 Nov. 29 Wirt 67 32 Feb. 9 Wirt 56 30 Dec. 1 Crown Point 34 35 Feb. 16 Griffith QL 47 Dec. 6 Portage 55 39 Dec. 8 Gary Roosevelt 27 3 HOLIDAY Roosevelt 38 37 Dec. 12 Hobart 34 36 Lew Wallace 38 43 Dec. 15 Froebel B De 45 TOURNEY Horace Mann 23 26 First Row: Pete, Slab, Shorty, Dick.

This indicates that Edison's surge to power, in the basket- ball picture is getting stronger. This year, more than any other year, the Edison fans came early enough to see all the B Team games, which 1s proof that the B Team put up some exciting games. There are a lot of memories for us, such as the up on your toes endings. For example, the East Gary game, both Merrillville games, and the three Wirt games. All the games were thrillers and will not be forgotten soon.
