court 11-16, and the second on the home court, after a fiery last quarter, when the outsiders eked out a one-point victory. The juniors played hard and well in these matches but the Devon team proved too powerful. They took their fourth and last loss at the hands of Trinity to the tune of 17-22. Although the home team held the Parish to only two baskets in the second half, they could not buck the overwhelming difference in scores at the half. However, with three victories and four defeats the Midgets finally broke into their winning stride to reverse the tables on Trinity with one of their finest games of the year, downing a bewildered Parish outfit 18-27 and thereby dividing the four-game series. They culminated their season March 5th in a blaze of glory by dealing a second smashing defeat to a visiting Cheshire five with a score of 32-19. Dick Pearson sank 20 points in this game to climax his season. The lettermen were: Morris, Danahy, Fegreus, Pearson, Platt, Tommers, Hoff- man, Lambert, Obert, Wulfeck. Mr. jerry Pepper coached the juniors. Richard Pearson was captain, Macaluso was manager. Pearson led the individual scoring column by garnering 89 points in eight games and Danahy followed with 42 in nine games played. The Intra-mural Basketball Tournament This year after the varsity season, an intra-mural basketball tournament was staged in the remaining two weeks of the term. The teams were made up of the boys interested in basketball, varsity men and otherwise. Each team was given the name of some large university. There were five teams, each one captained by one of the starting five from the varsity. Zanollils team was Fordham, Farris's team was Yale, Schotta's team was Princeton, Kupec's team was Harvard, and McNally's team was Dartmouth. There was a schedule of about five games for each team, and throughout, each schedule was played off with interest and enthusiasm. As the playing progressed Yale and Harvard proved to be the best and evenest teams. The playoff game showed by the slightest margin that the Yale team was the winner of the tournament. The score of this game was 23-24. Throughout the tournament Kupec amassed the most number of points with a grand total of 76, Farris was second with 52, followed by Fischbeck with 49, Lowe with 44, and Hirshberg with 40.

BASEBALL Shortly after the spring vacation one of the best baseball teams that has represented Milford took to the field under the direction of Coach jerry Pepper. The team was composed as practically all new men, Captain Johnny Gannon and Bruce Newell being the only returning members. The team shaped up with Bill Barnum and Bob Schotta doing the hurling, O'Hedy doing the catching, Bruce Newell, Mike Pepper, joe Zanolli, and Larry McNally holding up the infield, and Joe Boyle, Captain Gannon, and jake Kupec taking positions in the outfield. The other members of the squad were: Walt Reynolds, Arnold Lowe, Walt Kelly, Warren Terrell, and joe Cohen. After but two practice sessions the team encountered the Bridgeport Trade School squad in a game that went to the Maroon and White by the score of seven to three. Despite the fact that they had very little practice, the Milfordians made very few errors and did exceptionally well at the plate. The highlights of the game were the pitching of Barnum and Schotta and the hitting of Newell, Pepper, Gannon, and Zanolli. Barnum pitched six innings, struck out eight Tradesmen, and allowed only 'four hits. Schotta finished the game by striking out five men and allowing the opposition but one safety. On April 18, Milford traveled to New Haven and was defeated by the strong Yale Freshman club by the score of ten to five. Milford was weakened by the loss of catcher O'Hedyg a loss which necessitated taking Captain Gannon out of the outfield, thereby weakening that part of our defense. Yale's pitching staff was very effective, allowing only six hits.
