The Joyvees got reol vvorlqouts--cind treguently-but they obsorbed them oll ond come bock tor more. Otten these brcictice gomes were more exciting thon the vorsity contests. Both sides would but out to the limit ond both sides ocguired o lot ot tootbcill knowledge-the hord vvoy, Both Vorsity ond Joyvees this post yeor were green ond inexperienced. Thus it wos guite com- mon to see o boy on the Joyvees one doy ond on the Vorsity the next.

V RSITY JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM-1943-44 Standing: Capt. Weber, Coach, Howard, Hubbard, Adams, Smith, L. Kneeling: MacGill, Mgr., Brown, Mgr., McGahay, Martin, Molar. Seated: Denny, Freeman, Wray, Youngs, The Jayvees showed lots of fight and determination thus offsetting in large measure their lack of experience. What is more, they won all seven games on their l943-44 schedulel Not far behind the Varsity in skill and almost eaualing it in student interest and support, the Jayvees are younger boys a shade below Varsity grade, who feed to the latter year by year. They ought to be red-hot by next season. The Jayvees broke from the starting gate in December with a 34 to lQ victory over Bedford, .Ky Seconds. Net-jockey Gilliam did the high score honors. They chalked up another win over Ormsby Village, 38 to 17, as Freeman and Smith, L, ran neck-to-neck to score eight points each, but the field was close behind them. Then a flu epidemic and remaining Kentucky games were cancelled. But they turned on speed again in Florida to pass Ft. Myers Junior Varsity Q3 to lo. Martin was in the groove and swished ll points through the hoop. Sarasota l-ligh Seconds went down Q3 to Ql as the Jayvees reached the half-way mark McGahey cinched the game with his ll points. Too close for comfort. Whewl Next our heroes rounded the turn to run off from Arcadia, Florida 5l to lo, Three Jayvees made over lO points apiece. Going somel Nearing the homestretch they passed Sarasota again, 34 to QB, McGahey leading the pack with his l3 points. Then on their way, they turned on the speed to zoom by Ft. Myers once more, Ql to lo. Last game of the season The Jayvees nosed out Venice-Nokomis l-ligh just as the finish line was reached Score Q5 to Q4 Came from behind to win after being left at the post. A clean slate for the season. Looks good for next year, what?
