Fate continued to play havoc with the blue and white basketball team. Three lettered men formed the muscles for the '32-'33 team but the squad had only one man, Captain Mule!' Haas, who was a consistent and insistent scorer. The climax of the cage game season came when the Highlanders turned back three of their most formidable foes in one week. Durham High from North Carolina, Hargrave Military Academy from Chatham, and john Marshall High from Richmond were defeated on three successive nights to give the Hilltoppers a ray of hope.

FUNK celebrated before and after its accomplishment by parades and resulted in the Hilltojvjvcr spirit being dampened by a deluge from a hotel window above, where Norfolkites reclined and dumped H20 on cheering enemies beneath. Captain Mule Haas played his third and last year on the football team and his ability on the defense was the main reason for the Hilltoppers holding' their opposition in check during the season. George Brown and Caulease Capps were also-outstanding defense men, and Capp's pass-catching ability made him a dangerous man on the offense. E191

Unclismayed by cruel losses on land and sea, the H illtopfel' pushed out to open water again and the crew gave itself over to hours of deck tennis, with the result that three meets out of six were won, but the team as a whole H211 1'
