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.

WRESTLING FIRST ROW: J. SECOND ROW: Godschall, B. Llttie. B. Frame, L. Hardham, J. Stuart, G. McGann, J. Jackson. B. Sunstein, G. Bernstein, D. Sanborn, S. Hickman, B. Carvaiho. B. Aronoff. Coaches Harold Ferguson and William Zimmer- man smile approvingly as Larry Hardham co- capfain and Spike Flickman demonstrate their o,nQ ' = ' and skill. Under the tutelage of coaches Mr. Fer- guson and Mr. Zimmerman, the wrestling team chalked up a 5-8 record. During the season the wrestling team was plagued by close individual contests. This fact was graphically pointed out by the Upper Darby and Springfield meets at which the individual wrestlers lost by one or two points, while the team suffered a three point loss. Terminating the wrestling season, John Jackson finished second to the Lower Merion wrestler at the Suburban I tourna- ment; and, after a spectacular reversal in the exciting last six seconds of the second overtime period. Spike Hickman, who re- ceived the Ferguson cup, won the districts and finished second at the Regionals, after being defeated by a strong grappler from Manheim Central High School. With a promising J.V. team and the loss of only three Varsity men, the outlook for next season is bright. John Jackson and Bruce Buck were elected captains for next year.
