Sophomores' New Coach Places Cagers in Fourth Sophomore cagers finished a fine season this year. Under their new coach, Mr. W. Porter, the team's record was seven wins and five losses. This record put the sophomores in fourth place in conference play. Coach Porter stated that his goal was to help the team's offense and defense by using new techniques. The two freshman teams finished at opposite ends of the standings. Freshman 'A' team completed their season in seventh place with four wins and eight losses. On the other hand the frosh 'B' team ended with nine wins and three losses to put them in second place. Both teams, however, learned the same fundamental techniques of basketball defense and offense in their daily drills.
