Card, Manager. ’ (f3asl?etbafl Sumner’s basketball team got off to an early start with practice beginning in November under the direc- tion of Mr. Wade Hooker, coach. Although only two regulars, Karl Anderson and Robert Hollstein, re- turned an able trio Bob Taylor, Charlie Dickenson, and Richard Stokinger who had seen plenty of action the previous year were well qualified to take over. Sumner had a very successful year winning eleven out of fifteen games. As usual Sumner entered the South Shore Tourna- ment in March, and this year hopes were high for a final victory which would bring the Sumner team to the Boston Garden as Class C entrants.

Sumner ' s next rival was Hanover, a highly publicized team that had won the South Shore champ- ionship and 46 consecutive games. Once again Sumner proved too strong and Hanover was eliminated 31-14. This victory brought the Sumner boys into the semi- finals with Orleans as the opponent. However, Sum- ner did not display its usual brand of basketball and all hopes of winning the Tournament and being invited to the Garden were quickly dashed. Sumner at the final whistle was on the short end of a 60-33 score.

QirL’EasLtUl The Sumner girls’ basketball team was not very successful this year with only 2 wins, 1 tie, and 1 1 losses. Mrs. Hazel Flye. coach, did her best to pro- duce a good team, but due to the fact that many of the girls were working afternoons and the boys had the gym every evening for practice, it was difficult for the girls to have a successful practice session. It is hoped that next year a more equitable arrangement for practice will be possible because the girls have the ability to win many games.
