Varsity Basketball Review HE 'Varsity basketball team had a poor season, winr1ing nine games and X Q .5 4 ' 4 LIL- -..L LA., Jr.- LL... ... Hs., V-,xs- ,r,w.-,, -fs... ,-xg losing an equal number to conclude with a .500 average. Ar times the team displayed excellent basketball, particularly against Kingsley and Mil- ford, but on other occasions the playing was wretched. Indeed, this year's quintet seemed to be two teams. When it was going well it was unbeatable. When it was not going well fwhich was the way it went very often-all too oftenj it was extremely painful to watch. The live that defeated Kingsley was the same five that lost to Poly Prep, but to one who did not actually know they were the same that would be a difficult statement to believe. The team had off-days and on-days, and these spasms occurred without regard to the ability of the other team, physical condition of Horace Mann's players, location of the game, or the number of noodles in the lunchroom soup. Thus, watching a Horace Mann basketball game became an ex- perience, and the spectators were prepared for anything- and usually got it. Lawrenceville was the opening game on the schedule. This contest was held after only one full week of practice and the New Jersey team found the Maroon and White still far from ready for a big game. Lawrenceville won easily by a 25-17 score. Following the Lawrenceville game came another dith- cult contest, this time with the Fordham Freshmen. Horace T Mann improved tremendously over the opening game, but still could not win. The Fordham Freshmen, who were older and more experienced than the Maroon and White players, were victorious, 24-18. Horace Mann then won its first game of the season by downing the Alumni in a rather poorly played contest, 20-19. The 'Varsity's victory was a surprise, for it was generally thought that the Alumni was easily the better team. However, the victory was by so small a margin, and the game had been so badly played, that Horace Mann could take little en- couragement from the final score. The next game found the team at its worst. Playing Poly Prep in Poly's gym, the visitors passed poorly, shot aimlessly, and did about every wrong thing that it was possible to do. Poly was not so very much better, but managed to play well enough to triumph 28-9. .
