J -V BASKETBALL CAPT.GEORGE'WOOD COACH Inspired by the excellent coaching of Captain G E. Wood, the Junior Varsity basketball team had a very successful season, losing only 2 out of 12 hard-fought games. The team, composed of young- er boys, developed team work, precision, and an unbeatable spirit. This as a result, gave the Jun- ior Varsity squad a commendable account of them- selves throughout the season. The outstanding cagers on this year's basket- ball team were Blankenship, W., Criggar, Weiss, and Reed, A., who should be found starring for next year's varsity. Such constant improvement and persistency can only reap another undefeated sea- son next year for the Varsity. SCHEDULE K. M. I. 27, Ft. Myers 29. K. M. I. 40, Venice Nokornis 19. K. M.

F59 35,2 Ri v Y ' Q Gordon, Miles, Smith. Preston, Howard, Turner, King came through and defeated the Palmetto team for the second time, setting a hot pace that was hard to stop. The military squad, paced by Engberg, and Miles, topped St. Leo Preparatory in two successive games. In a trip to the Flor- ida east coast, the quintet nosed out vic- tories over Redlands and Ponce de Leon High making a total of 15 victories. Noth- ing seemed to be able to stop the victors as they were well on their way to an unde- feated season. Forward Engberg again paced the Sen- ior Squad by taking Ft. Myers for the sec- ond time. Shiftness and precision of dom- inating the hoop was again proven by topping St. Leo for the third time. In a rough, fast moving basketball on the home court, Sarasota was downed by scoring the winning points in the last few minutes of the game. Flush from this victory the five then went on to win from Jesuit High and Florida Military Academy. This game gave the team an undefeated season with 21 wins, after defeating Labell High School for the closing game. Engberg was the high point man for the season breaking all previous school rec- ords. The Cadet Battalion and the editors wish to express their gratitude and pride to the remarkable playing and coaching of these twelve boys and Captain Weber. More power to the team next year!

VARSITY RIFLE Lazzell, Frazier. Jackson, Baute, Richmond. Joplin, Schmidt, Race. Fleming. Hunsicker. Elimination started e a rl y in the Florida session as finally the top fif- teen sharpshooters emerged from the weeding out process. Persistent prac- tice for the oncoming matches kept them busy many of the sunny after- noons, but they were determined. Major Johnson's persistency built the team up around Frazier, Richmond, Lazzell, and Baute, last year's rifle- men. For the first time shoulder to shoulder matches were fired against F.M.A., which the marksmen easily won. In a return match at F.M.A. the team again emerged the Victors. We are proud of a successful sea- son and know it will continue through- out next year with several promising riflemen returning. MAJ. ROBERT JOHNSON COACH Matches Ranking of Team 1. Hearst 1.
