HE HFLYING lDUTCllMlEN,'l the name by which our basketball team was known this year swept every thing before it in the eastern division to win the championship. The team made up of the former championship J. V. mem- bers played the kind of basketball that the high school has looked forward to for many years. It is the first time in the history of basketball at Liverpool High School that a Varsity team has won a championship. The joy brought by their triumph in the eastern division was only slightly dampened when Liverpool lost out in thc play-offs to Fayetteville 35-34 after defeating North Syracuse 38-H33 in the semi-finals. Vlliezel and XViers were the high scorers for Liverpool and both were chosen for the county all star game. Kraushaar, another veteran play- er was out during the first half of the season but turned in a splendid performance for the last half. Karl was something of a forgotten man as he seldom got a Cl'l21llCC to score. His playing, however, was responsible for a good many of the Page Eight teams victories as he turned in the best job of guarding that has been seen in quite a while. Parsons also did his job well as a guard. VVork- ing together, Karl and Parsons turned back team after team to allow XYiers and XViezel to score. Vlliegand, Ellis, Crawford, Barrett, Bahn, and Preston complete the squad, a worthy bunch of players any way voa look at it. The season started off with out much enthus- iasm. The team barely nosed out lVlanlius 21420. However, Liverpool again won over Tully 24-16 and interest over the team began to be aroused. The following Friday the team snowed jamesville under 2746 and the high school became basket- ball crazy. Friday, january 7, Liverpool again Won, score Liverpool 253, East Syracuse ll. The name Flying Dutchmenu was now sup- plied and they lived up to it by taking the nett two games very handily to finish the first half of the season undefeated. january 28, Liverpool af- ter a hard fought battle dropped their lst game 21-20 to the last place Manlius team, aft Pr wi 1 1-
