J., Rolaert Yevak, center, also from Hazleton, Pa., Bert Dehlin, guard, Kearny, N. J., and Robert Moore, guard, Philipsburg, Pa. So well, and so closely did these men work together, that it is difficult to choose among them, and baclced by a fine type of reserve material consisting of Stroh Fasold, forward, William Utz, center, Samuel Campbell, guard, and George Longaneclcer, guard, they developed into an excep- tional prep school team.

BASKETBALL lUndefeated by any Prep quintetj Our basketball squad completed one of the most successful seasons in the entire history of the school, chalking up a record of thirteen victories and one defeat. Coach Earl E. Ziegler took a group of men who had never been on a court together, and out of them moulded a high- scoring, hard-Hghting team. Opening the season with a home game against Carson Long Military Academy, the Little Bullets ran up a score of 52 points to the cadets 19. A trip to York to play the quintet of York Collegiate Insti- tute was the Bullets, next objective. Showing more skill than before, our Orange and Blue men brought them into camp to the tune of 34-25. Following this came two home games, the first of the victims being the quintet from Franklin and Marshall Academy, who went back to Lancaster with the score 37-16. Harrisburg Academy was the next victim to fall into the clutches of the Bullet passers with a score of 46-25. Fully aware of the power they had developed and confident, the Bullets next met the highly touted and powerful Valley Forge Military quintet on their own floor. The cadets were ahead at half time in this game, but the Bullets, showing their Hne form and playing to the uttermost, 'lbrought home the bacon 30-28. Coming back to Gettysburg our boys met the quintet com- posed of the College Freshmen who gave them their first and only defeat of the season. The Freshmen gained a lead in the first quarter, and after coming back with that never ending vitality our boysv began to 'lswishn them in from all angles on the Hoorg however, the final whistle shrilled out the defeat after a well fought and hotly contested fight 30-27. The champions, undaunted by their defeat, played a return game with the cadets of the Carson Long Military Academy on the latteris floor. Unaccustomed to the small floor, the cadets took the lead, however not for long. Clicking as their old selves once more they whipped the cadets by the sting of a 38-21 defeat. Then our prepsters met once more our rival, Gettysburg College Freshmen. Keyed to the top to avenge the defeat, the champions started off with a big lead, and although a great battle was put up that night by the Freshmen, they could not bring the Little Bullets under the yoke, and we emerged vic- torious 28-25. Mt. St. Mary's Prep took the next thrashing, the Orange and Blue quintet scoring 46 points to the rivals' 16. The season was drawing to a close fast but sure, and with a return game on the old home floor our 'lchampsi' defeated once more York Collegiate Institute to the tune of 54-31. The season came to a close after the Harrisburg Academy game. Although the Harrisburgers were going to try to break our record, they were sadly made to bow their heads to the champions with the final score being 16 baskets for our quintet K32 pointsl and 7 baskets for them C14 pointsl. The statistics for the season are thirteen games won, one lost. Our boys scored 582 points to their opponents' 328. The outstanding player of the team and highest scorer was Joseph Lotito, diminutive forward from Hazleton, Pa. X461

o 1911-me H- - -M- -H-M- ----1-me -m-- o s o G A -1 Ji- --- - BASEBALL TEAM Since the 1934 baseball season is in its prime as this goes to press, all indications point to a very successful season at Get- tysburg Academy. Thus far eight games have been played and Coach Ziegler's boys have been successful in seven of them. When the first call for candidates was issued one of the largest squads in recent years reported. There were, however, only two veterans of last year's team at practice. This was not discouraging as many newcomers showed excellent ability. After about a weelc's practice the squad was cut to eighteen men. Soon the first team was picked with Longanecker as catcherg Dehlin pitching. The infield consisted of 'Witzel at Hrstg Moore at secondg Lotito at short, and Yevalc at third. In the outfield were Hoclcman, Fasold and Sneeringer. The subs are Pitts, Fogel, A. Rogers and Rogers. The first game was played at Harrisburg Academy. The boys returned defeated but not downhearted by a score of 11-12. The next game was held at Mercersburg. To their great chagrin and our joy we returned victors by a score of 6-5. In our first home game Y. C. I. was encountered. They were sent back home sadder and wiser men. They were snowed under by a score of io-2.
