BOYS ' BASKETBALL Sumner’s basketball team got off to an early start this year with practice beginning in November under the able direction of Coach Wade Hooker. Back for the 1945 season was a complete veteran team, which included Captain Robert White, Karl Anderson, Robert How- land, Arthur Winkley, Robert Bettle, and Walter Jennings. Anderson, Howland, and White supplied most of the offensive punch with Wink- ley, Bettle, and Jennings shining defensively. Sumner ran up a record of ten straight victories until losing a tough one to Stetson High of Randolph. However, Sumner finished the year with a notable record of eleven victories and four defeats. As usual Sumner entered the South Shore Tournament in March. Sumner eliminated Scituate in the first game, but in the second round was beaten 51 to 45 by Orleans High in the highest scoring game in the tournament. That completed the formal season for the 1945 bas- ketball team at Sumner High.

Early in the season Marian Morgan received a leg injury and was forced to resign, while a few weeks later Mary White, one of the star forwards, became very sick with a throat infection and was not able to finish the season. Beginning the season with only a few veterans, the team was unable to continue playing as a result of these losses. Miss Grace McCarthy, coach, and Pauline Kelley, manager, and members of the squad tried hard to keep a team together but in vain. The girls played four games, losing the Whitman game by one point, and the other three by larger scores. The leading scorer was Beverly Paul with 29 points, followed by Mary White with 26 points. The girls look forward to a more satisfactory season next year. Sumner 33 Sumner 25 Sumner 8 Sumner 11 Whitman 34 Avon 37 Avon 27 Howard 20
