BOYS' BASKETBALL After a very successful basketball season in 1935-»36, in which our boys won 22 out of 28 games played, scoring victories over some of the leading high school teams in this section, and finally being crowned champions in their class, the outlook for the 1936-,37 season was not very bright. Only two veterans, Carl Ripley and James Burnett, answered the first call for prac- tise this year. To go back, the 1935-'36 sea.son brought the Richville High School Whippets praise wherever they played. Some of the big victories were scored over the Canton Aggies, who fell twice, 3 4- to 25 at home, and 22 to 21 in a thrilling game at Canton; Black River, Watertown district champions, who lost 4-5 to 21; Crown Point, beat- en on its own court 4-1 to 25 in an intersectional game that brought Richville much credit; Ha.rris- ville, who was defeated twice, 36 to 12 and 29 to 17; and Hermon, who wan subdued twice, 37 to 6 and 29 to 21. Two of the losses were adminis- tered by Whitehall High School at Whitehall, 26 to l6; and Osdensburg Free Academy at Ogdcnsburg, 26 to 19. Much credit for the success of the Blue and White should go to Carl Ripley for his heavy scoring, to James Cunningham for his self sacri- fice as a scorer and his willingness to pass to his team-mates, to James Burnett for his work under the baskets and in getting the tip-off, and to Charles Van Namee, a scrapper 'til the end, who defensively was the spark plug of the team. After dropping two games out of the first three played, the 193 - '37 edition of the Whip- pets developed into another great team and went on to win 17 out of 21 games played. This year our boys were again classed without doubt as one of the best high school teams in this section. Shining victories were scored over the Canton Aggies, 36 to l6; Ha.rrisville, 28 to 12; Hermon, 23 to 1 4-; and Edwards, 19 to 16. In a benefit
