BASKETBALL I . f BaskelLbaLL f 1lAL In response to Coach Pepper's call for basketball candidates, fifteen men turned out for the squad just before the Christmas vacation. Captain Allan Hirshberg, the only returning letterman of the 1938 season, led his team of Bob Yocher, Bill Thomson, Harry Shendell, and Al Roller through an exceptionally hard and diflicult schedule. And although only four victories were registered as against ten defeats, we had a really fine team, marked by fine spirit and fight, and beaten only because of lack of experienced substitutes. On January 10, after only two days of real practice, the Maroon and White opened its season with an overwhelming victory over the Junior College of Connecticut. Harry Shendell and Bill Thomson both turned in 14 points as Milford won, 51-39. Our second game, played on January 21 against the Yale Freshmen at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium in New Haven, was probably the most thrilling game of the season. After Milford had held doggedly to a slight advantage during nearly the entire game, the Freshmen rallied at the last moment to even the game up at 34-all, and then scored in a Sudden Death overtime period to win, 36-34. The same story repeated itself when the Bridgeport Trade School came from behind in the closing moments of the game to win, 40-37. Playing our first home game, we were nosed out by Cheshire Academy, 36-31. Foul shots played an important part of this game, inasmuch as ten of the visitors' points were scored on free throws. Collegiate Prep was Milford's second victim in five starts, as Hirshberg and Roller starred to give Milford the edge, 35-34. The game against junior College of Commerce, on February 4, was probably the greatest disappointment of the season, since we were finally nosed out, 35-34. However, it was in this game that Bill Thomson turned in the highest score for one game, tallying.19 points. In our next game, played against Choate on February 8, Milford was very much in the game until the last quarter, when the Wallingfordians pulled away to win a well-deserved victory, 35-31. Collegiate Prep, avenging its former defeat at our hands, eked out a slim margin of victory, 39-37.
