anywhere and one who was equally outstanding as a point-maker, rebound- er, and ball-handler, and Bill Moore a smooth floorman who could always be counted on when the team was in need of a few points. Playing the role of substitutes were Bill Ramsey, a scrappy, fleet-footed boy who saw plenty of action, Carl Fetzer, a rugged ball-player who never became ruffled even in the most thrilling game, and Bill Brinker, a tall floorman who was outstanding as a defense man and rebounder. The Black and White opened the season by losing to a skyscraper quintet from Penn High School, 25-16. In their second encounter the floorman dropped a close one to Vandergrift and then went on to win over two of the strongest teams in the district, Norwin and St. Vincent. After defeating Saltsburg, 42-22, Kiski again found Penn High unbeatable and again ended up on the short end of the score. The Black and White got revenge for an earlier setback by winning over Vandergrift, 42-36, and followed this victory with a 39-38 victory over Johnstown Catholic in what was probably the most thrilling game of the season. Norwin proved too much for Kiski in their second meeting and the Black and White came out on the short end of a 60-35 score. Kiski again found the victory road as they turned in a 39-33 victory over Indiana and, after a momentary setback by St. Vincent, trounced Indiana for the second time. The Black and White then ran up against the toughest competition of the season as they were beaten by Central Catholic, 62--52, with Dick Scott scoring 23 points in a losing cause. Central also took the measure of the Black and White in their second engagement, this time by a 52-33 score. Kiski continued its losing ways by dropping a 52-37 decision to Johnstown Catholic, but snapped back to win the final game of the season with a 50-42 victory over Mercersburg.

Basketball FIRST RLJW ef- W. Moore, Scott. Swenson, Reid. Everson SECOND ROW' - Mgr. B. Miller, Richardson, Brinker, Ramsey, Fetzer, Coach Marks Playing the most difficult schedule ever attempted by a Kiski floor team, Coach Marks' quintet displayed an excellent brand of basketball throughout the season. Although winning only eight games while losing an equal number, the Black and White performed in highly creditable fashion as they turned in victories over such strong opponents as johns- town Catholic, Norwin, and St. Vincent. This year's team was not of the exceptionally tall variety but what the boys lacked in height they made up for in speed and agressiveness. At the forward positions were Captain Dick Swenson, a tall lanky tloorman who was outstanding as a point-maker and rebounder, and Dick Scott, the smallest boy on the squad but one who was continually among the high scorers. Bill Everson, a tall, well-built fellow, held down the pivot spot and could be relied upon to get more than his share of the rebounds. Play- ing the guard positions were Bill Reid, as agressive a player as can be found 35
