28 New Milford High School BOYS’ BASKETBALL The New Milford High School Basketball Team, champions of the Ilousa-tonic Valley League, came through with a surprising season, to win sixteen victories against four defeats. The team went through the league undefeated with twelve straight victories. As they had the second highest standing in the C-D class in the state, they entered the tournament at the Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. The New Milford quintet won over Newtown, Housatonic Valley League rivals, in the first game by a score of 31—25. The next evening they played against the highest ranking team. New Canaan. This was a bitter battle throughout and the local lads lost out 25—19. New Canaan went on to win the championship in the finals beating Tourtelotte, 41—34. As all last year’s championship varsity squad had been graduated, there was little hope for a championship team. However, Coach Raymond A. Lumley, with great ability, whipped together an outfit which showed its ability by following in the footsteps of its predecessors. This year’s team consisted of Lathrop at center, Collins and Glaser at forwards, with DiMauro as a guard, all who played together the previous year on the second string team. Kriksciun, a Junior, and Dorwin, a promising Freshman, drew guard positions. On the reserve team, Coach Lumley had Grohmann and Bucinslcv to draw on for the forward positions, Lcahcy for guard and Brattlund for center. As the greatest part of the team are Juniors or lower class men there is great hope of their repeating their victories next year. To show their appreciation the Athletic Association of New Milford High School sponsored a banquet and dance in honor of the team. The graduating members of the team, Lathrop and Di Mauro, received miniature gold basketballs with their initials and school letters engraved on them.
