s Basketball If you know any math the following will not be hard to add: a new coach, some inexperienced boys, a lot of hard practice, the result one of the most im- proved squads in Prep history. For the last three years the Terriers had shown little or no victories on the hardwood. Yet this season brought a new fight- ing squad into the eyes of the Terrier followers. For Coach Charlie Clunan and the boys racked the back- boards for eleven victories. More wins than the Terriers have composed in the last four years. The team possessed no height for Joe Williams was the only member over the six foot mark. Yet, they possessed the desire and the iight to win. The squad was made up of nine of the finest boys you would want to meet: Jack Batson, Jim Green, Joe Williams, Gene Valley, Henry Riddle, Charlie Jensen, Phil Wil- ett and Bill Cooper. The end of the season showed Riddle taking hon- ors on the third team All Memphis Press-Scimitar squad. With Gene Valley and himself again, copping honors as honorable mention on the Commercial Ap- peal five. Although the smallest man on the squad Riddle proved himself deserving of the honors in more ways than one for in the most exciting games of the season in which we lost a 45-48 en- counter to C.B.C. the Second District Champs, Hen- ry played the entire game with a virus infection. It was this kind of play that contributed to the suc- cess of the Terrier five. Memphis fans will always remember the expert ball handling of Jim Green and Charlie Jensen. The great backboard work of Joe Williams, the fine left- handed set shots of Bill Cooper, the fighting spirit of Phil Wilett and Joe Linder, and the beautiful jump shots of Valley and Riddle. Yes, the Terriers under Charlie Clunan had a fine season. Schedule Cagholic High ,,,,A,,,, ,,,.,.,. 2 6 Colilerville .... .........
