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

Hall-League Basketball FIRST ROVU-Copeland, l.unt, Bowers, Clark. Allvc.tsnn SECOND RIJW- Neleigh, Wurmh, Hnnsxikcl' The 1945 Hall-League Basketball Championship was won by the fast-moving, skyscrapers of Fair Hall, a team that was beaten only once throughout the season. The championship quartet consisted of Roger Clark and Lee Albertson at forwards, big jim Bowers at center, and Don Moore and Fred Lunt at guards, with Chuck Copeland, Nails Neleigh, Bob Wurmb, and Bus Honsaker making up a highly capable group of reserves. The rugged five from Towers provided the only outstanding compe- tition faced by the champions during the season, they being responsible for the single setback suffered by the towering boys from Fair. In games with Wilson, Reese, and Paradise, the champs experienced some anxious moments but their speed and height gave them the needed advantage when an unexpected situation had to be met. As has been typical of Hall-League floor games in the past, it was sometimes difficult to figure out what sport the boys were attempting to play. At times the insignificant spectator thought the game to be a combi- nation of basketball, football, soccer, and wrestling. However the rough and tumble moments in the games made them more enjoyable to all and, except for a few floor burns and bruises, nobody was seriously hurt. 39
