GIANT AY VEE plies giant J. V. team provided their share of thrills in the preliminary basketball games this year. With a team that dwarfed the varsity in size, as four of the squad are over six feet, they always supplied a good opener. Mr. Margison did a fine job as coach.

With triple reverses, cross bucks, fakes and every other trick in the book, they smashed through opponents right and left. Losing only two games in the [ast two years, the crimson jerseyed warriors, under the coaching of Mr. Foote, assisted by Mr. Wilson, aroused terror in all opposition. The Chiefs displayed fine blocking, tackling, broken field running and that all-essen- tial team work. Just wait until this team plays varsity! me ee OS OO Bok es

Prac- ticing after school, when too many people aren't around, this team has proved their skill at a sport of which Mahopac has al- ways been proud, pte mnt ann me
