VARSITY RECORD New Haven ' s Derrick Thacker attempts to stop Larry Goralski from getting two. The Memphis Yellow Jackets, coach- ed by Ken Helinski, are enjoying their most successful season of the decade. The team features strong rebounding and an excellent fast break. Senior Sean Marnon is the team playmaker and leader. Sophomore A1 Powers, with assists, has helped to lead a bal- anced scoring attack that has four play- ers averaging nine or more points a game. Calvin Gross who is six feet one inch and one hundred and ninety pounds, and Mike Wilcox who is six feet three inches have helped give Mem- phis an edge on the boards during the regular season.

Yellow Jackets Sting The Memphis Yellowjackets had a very successful season this year with a nine and one record. They were the top team in the S.T.A. Memphis started the season off by upsetting Lutheran North in a non-league game by a score of 20-12. This game only fired up Memphis for the Brown City game which Mem- phis swept away with a score of 20-18. The third game of the season, New Haven vs. Memphis, was 50-30, another Memphis win. Richmond, a really big win for us, put the Yellowjackets in first with a league record of 3-0. Richmond stood 3-1 with Dryden and Armada, but that didn’t bother Memphis. The Jackets ran over both teams with a 44-13 score in the Dryden game and a 44-0 score in the Armada game. Memphis moved on to beat Yale in their last League game with a score of 44-0. However, Memphis was not done with football. They advanc- ed to the quarter-finals, where the Yellowjackets stung third- ranked Homer in a 37-0 victory. From there, Memphis pro- ceeded to the semi-finals against Grand Rapids Forest Hills Northern, which was Memphis’ last game, with a score of 14-20.
