THE 1945 PEP PAGE TWENTY-FIVE Rumford at Mexico-Feb. 6, 1945 The largest crowd ever to see a basketball game in Mexico packed the M. H. S. gym for the second of the two games with Rumford. The game was very close throughout the first half, with Rumford ahead 19-17 at half-time. But in the last half the Rumford team really got going and showed their superiority to win 46-26. Downs of Mexico was high pointer with seventeen tallies. Rumford 10 19 29 46 Mexico 8 17 20 26 Mexico at Farmington--Feb. 10, 1945 l After tasting, defeat at the hands of Rumford, the Pintos journeyed to Farmington for a re- turn game with the Greyhounds. Having an advantage in height, the Farmington team led throughout the entire game and won 33-24. Al Downs of Mexico was again top scorer with twelve points. Farmington 7 17 25 33 Mexico 2 10 17 24 Gould at Mexico-Feb. 14, 1945 K After suffering two defeats, the Pinto bas- keteers again broke into the winning column by taking Gould Academy 44-34. The Pintos had difficulty getting started, and trailed at the quarter mark 13-10. But in the second period the Pintos began to score and held the lead for the rest of the game. Downs with seventeen and Fraser with sixteen were top scoring men for the Pintos while W. Allen with twelve was best for the Bethel club. - Mexico 10 22 31 44 Gould 13 17 19 34 Wilton at Mexico-Feb. 16, 1945 A good-sized crowd saw one of the best games in many years when the Wilton Academy Eagles came to Mexico for a return game. The teams were very evenly matched and the score was close all the way through. When the end of the game came, the score was tied at 37-37. In-the overtime period, each team scored three points and at the end of the three minutes over- time the score was still deadlocked at 40-40. This made a sudden death period necessary, in which the first team to score two points would win. On a quick break, Leo Jamison, Pinto forward, dropped in the points which won the game 42-40, in favor of the Pintos. Scoring hon- ors went to Bump of Wilton, with seventeen points, followed by Fraser with sixteen and Downs with fifteen for the Pintos.

The Livermore boys, .out to avenge their defeat of earlier in the sea- sondoy the Pintos, took advantage of their home court: and pulled out a 55-34 win. The game was fairly-close for almost three periods until Livermore 'started to get rolling. Hebert and Kennedy of Livermore led the scorers, with twenty and eighteen respectively, while Downs with fourteen was tops for the Pintos. Livermore 13 26 Mexico 6 23 Oxford at Mexico-Feb. 23, 1945 The Pintos wound up their 1945 season in great style by walloping the Oxford High boys by one of the highest scores ever accumulated in Mexico's new gym, 74-24. Leo Jamison, later elected captain, played his best game of the season and led the point making department with twenty-one markers. Fraser with eight- een, Downs sixteen, and Leavitt twelve also 39 55 30 34 scored in double figures for Mexico. 13 36 52 72 Mexico Oxford 7 12 18 24 THE JUNIOR VARSITY The Junior Varsity team played eight games this season winning three and losing five.

THE FRESHMAN TEAM The Freshman basketball team of 1945 showed a very promising future if their show- ing of last season means anything. They played three games with the freshman team of Steph- ens High and won two of them. The first game, played at Rumford, was very close during the entire first half, but in the last half the Rum- ford freshmen took advantage of their home court to win 36-19. The second game, played at Mexico, proved to be different. The Rumfrd boys were lead- ing throughout the entire game, but in the last quarter the Pinto freshmen overtook them to win 32-275 The third and deciding game was played in the Stephens gym. This game proved to be a thriller all the way through. The score at the end of the regulation time was 30-30. This made an overtime period necessary. In the over- time Rumford scored one floor goal, but Pat Vienneau, Mexico forward, calmly sank two foul shots to tie the score at 32-32. That's what the score was at the end of three minutes over- time. In the sudden death period, Elwin Swan sank a long shot to win for Mexico 34-32. Those who participated in these games were Robert Fraser, Robert Whytock, Elwin Swan, Omer Breau, Harry Myles, Pat Vienneau, Albert Jami- son, Edward Fournier, Tom Beedy and Barry Millet.
