jay Vees The Middle Township High School Junior Varsity football squad compiled an unbeaten, unscored-upon record by winning two games and tying three. Boland Grant scored when Middle took a 6-0 decision over Wildwood and 'fom Charlesworth tallied when the jolting Jay Vees downed Millville by the same score. The deadlocks came in the first Wildwood game, the Ocean City tilt, and the final Millville game. All were scoreless. The boys showed they had the potentialities, but lacked experience, and the past year playing on the Jay Vee eleven has probably raised their calibre ot' playing to the extent that many of them will be Varsity players. Anthony DeVico and Henry Moore were at the terminal positions, Ralph Schel- linger and Homer Springer filled the tackle slots, Bill Henry and Bob Bushay started at the guards and Bill Mc Carty was pivotman. In the backfield alert Joe Mac Gregor called plays, while Tom Charlesworth was fullback with Roland Grant and Peanut Black at the halves. Walt Fellenbaum who frequently saw action at right half played consistently. The spirited play of Homer Springer and Henry Moore has already earned them Varsity posts.

At right John is showing his passing form which rival aggregations dreaded!

Basketball COURTMEN, fLei't to Hightj Bottom Row: Coach Crist, John Pmeillx' Don Wzxlclen, John Roberson, Al Garrison, Tony Chapparone, Manager Bob Paull. Back Row: Carroll VVilder, Ray Ellis, Drayton Hamm, Joe De Rose Eddie Gargan. ALTHOUGH THE 1948 BASKETBALL SEASON could hardly be termed more than mediocre, Coach Tom Crist's dribblers fre- quently showcd signs oi' being a championship quintet! The boys caught fire at the end of the season capturing four straight decisions to finish thc season with a six-eight record. The victory over Haddon Heights by a wide margin was the boys, best showing. The 51-39 conquest ol' Ocean City was the first time in nineteen years that a Middle five had downed the Red and VVhite! Tony Chapparone was the sparkplug of the quintet garnering an even two-hundred points over the season, almost half of Middle's point production. 53 SCORING RECORDS HAMMONTON WOODSTOWN HADDON HEIGHTS WILDWOOD OCEAN CITY HADDON HEIGHTS CAPE MAY SALEM BRIDGETON WILDWOOD PLEASANTVILLE OCEAN CITY SALEM CAPE MAY
