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.

Junior Varsity Basketball FIRST ROW' lfislier, lidwards. Ruddock, Rinn, Hartman SILOND RIJW Hocking, Lutes, liveiwine, Berg, Cfoacli Marks After getting away to a slow start, Kiski's junior Varsity Basketball team developed into a smooth-working lloor quintet and, by the end of the season, was more than a match for any opponent in its class. Ably coached by Mr. L. Marks, jr., the jayvees showed marked improvement with each succeeding game throughout their short season. Opening the season against Indiana Laboratory School, the 'Iayvees were defeated by a 17-14 score. Vandergrift junior Varsity handed the Black and Wlmite its second defeat, 14-10, and the Indiana jayvees kept Kiski in its losing ways by gaining a 19-9 victory. The Iayvees found a winning combination in Hartman, Edwards, Fisher, Ruddock, and Rinn, and went on to win their last two games over Avonmore's junior Varsity, 32-22, and Indiana Laboratory School, 35-11. Most of the members of the 1945 junior Varsity will return next year and it is expected that they will form the nucleus of a successful Varsity Basketball team. 38
