30 THE ECHO BOYS ' BASKETBALL This year we had one of the most successful years in basketball that we have had for many years. The return of one of our old school mates, Robert Potts, who had left in the freshman year was a great help, Vi ithout him we probably should not have won so many games. Billy Townsend, who moved into our school last year, looked good making many long shots that helped to win many of the games. Robert Mullen with his excellent pass work made possible many of the baskets. Jim Mahoney was our center who very seldom missed the jump. Harold Eldridge was a great help making the game a fast one, and whoever fol- lowed him around the floor was always ready for the final whistle. The best shot that was most needed was made by Bob Potts at Kingston when with a few seconds to go he made good a pass given to him by Mullen. Coach Mr. Walsh.

The backfield played fairly well, but with fair cooperation from the line. The tackles were the weak- est point in which the opponents were able to break through too quickly for us to make any headway. Jervey and Cann were the guards and played an excellent game all season, but their difficulty came in trying to block both the guard and the tackle’s position. Albonetty played center, and although he had the disad- vantage of being light, he was an excellent center sending the ball quickly and straight. The team had the advantage of having back one of its old schoolmates, Robert Potts, who proved to be a great asset!
