hnzszz'-' . A - VERNON BASKET BALL TEAM Even though the Vernon basketball squad has not had exceedingly good luck this year the season would not be called a failure. This year there were only two ninth graders who were on as regulars. The eighth grade contributed to quite an extent this year to the team. The two players Uhl and Roush still have another year at Vernon. The seventh grade was represented by a regular, John Vestal. The Vernon Cagers won four games and lost six, making a 400 per cent mark. In all ten games were played. Prospects will look bright for next year with three veteran players back, according to the opinion of Vernonites and Coach Crane. . Vernon succeeded in placing Raymond Reimer, captain of the Vernon Basketeeers, on the second city tournament team in the position of forward, also being high point l'l'l3.l'l. Paul Webb, manager, was a great help to the team. Coach Alwyn Crane pulled Vernon through this year and gave them a good show- ing. He expects to turn out a splendid team next year.
