A Basketball Although they were hampered by a lack of height, the Lodi Varsity basketball five were able to out-tally its opponents in seven practice games out of ten encounters and in three league tilts out of ten played. In what was one of the best displays of smooth playing and superior teamwork in high school competition, the Flame five crushed Christian Brothers from Sacra- mento. Both Lodi and Woodland were doing their best to win this one. and were neck and neck throughout the evening when in the last thirty seconds of play, the Flames, with a burst of speed managed to sink the decisive counter. In one of the thrillers of the season. McClatchy barely nosed out the favored Flame squad. Stockton had a great advantage over the Flames in height, but this didn’t dis- courage Lodi, and they very nearly defeated the tall Tarzans in both meetings be- tween the two rivals.

Bee Basketball Getting off to a slow start, the Flamelet hoopsters made improvements in both their defensive and offensive tactics as the season progressed and were able to defeat the majority of their opponents. With Gerry Gatzert and Johnny Lucas spear-heading their attacks, the Lodi Bee squad easily smashed the Sacramento squad in a tussle in which their form was de- scribed as “just about perfect.” After suffering from a loss at the hands of a heavily favored Modesto a few weeks earlier, the Flame Bees were again forced to accept a defeat from the Panther Cubs by a margin of two points in a struggle that stretched into an overtime period. In their first meeting with Stockton the Flamelets really walloped the Tarzan Bee five, but in their second meeting on Stockton’s home ground, the lads from Lodi had an off night and Stockton practically reversed the score on them.
