BASKETBALL The faculty sputnik nead: anxiously await the outcome. hHigh scoring forv ard Al Stu the ground to sink two. Senior forward and co-captain Joe Miller com- pletes a jump shot in spite of hHaverford opposition. The Harriton Cagers, led by coach William Fleming and sparked by senior veterans Joe Miller, Dave Newman, and Al Stewart aroused hiarriton ' s hopes early in the season to win a Suburban II flag. However the team lacked depth in the backcourt. Their need for a good dribbler and playmaker was revealed as Harri- ton found itself harassed by presses and fast breaks. Towards the end of the year, the squad dropped eight in a row and after defeating Penncrest, finished sixth in the league. The final upset occurred when the faculty five, paced by Will Fleming and Robert Ruoff, squeezed by the varsity for the second con- secutive year. Mr. Fleming, coach, and co-captains Joe Miller, Al Stewart, and Dave New- man check the final lineup for a big game. FIRST ROW: B. Henderson, T. Hc-tma-, J, M er. A. Stev. ' art, P. St S. Drury, C.

McCloskey remained undefeated throughout the league season, placing first in seven consecutive meets. His record- shattering performances attracted large crowds to the dual meets. It was fitting that the Ram ' s best effort should be their last. They defeated Penncrest 44-17, placing five men in the first six slots. The course record of 13-49-8 was established by Mc- Closkey in a 34-20 loss to Marple-Newton, a team which Coach Spealler called the toughest on our schedule. Harriton placed twelfth in the district meet as Mc- Closkey finished eighth. This qualified the sophomore for the state championships, held at Penn State, where, dis- playing his best ability, McCloskey finished fourth among the top runners in the entire state. Despite the loss of this year ' s Co-Captains, Rodger Digilio and Ed Sterne, and five varsity letter winners, the forecast for next season is favorable. The return of five varsity men should aid in leading the Rams to future victories. FIRST ROW: E. Sterne, R. Toub, G. McGann, B. Sunsteln, B. Clark, J. Ste.niik, A. Poliitt. SECOND ROW: P.
