1 1 VARSITY BASKETBALL AST YEAR, basketball was revived as a varsity sport at the Academy after a lapse of seven years. Continuing in its second season, the sport provided exciting diversion for all who witnessed the games. With only a little prac- tice, the cadets inaugurated their schedule by playing Briar- cliff High School. The visiting hoopsters, with their quick- breaking plays, defeated our inexperienced team, 33-27. Pfeil, our 6 foot, 3 inch skyscraper, led the cadets in scor- ing, personally gaining 8 points. Led by Bill Nelson, the cadets next faced the fast, sweep- ing five of the Bellows School, this time bowing to their opponents to the score of 25-11. Nelson and Carretta shared high score honors with 4 points apiece. Repeating last year's performance, the experienced Stony Brook team defeated the cadets in their next game. Despite their magnificent players and their efficient zone defense, Stony Brook was able to amass only 28 points to the cadets' 22. Lucarelle was high scorer for N.Y.M.A., with 9 points. In the fourth game of the season, the cadet five showed their supremacy from the start, taking an early lead and increasing it until the final whistle blew. Their opponents, the sailors from the Admiral Billard Academy in Con- necticut, were roundly defeated, 62-32. High score man for N.Y.M.A. in this game was Burt Hamilton, whose 20 points also stand as the maximum attained by any cadet basketeer during a 1939 game. The cadets lost their next game to an exceedingly good team from Pennsylvania, the Freshman quintet of Strouds- burg State Teachers College, with the score 44-30. Captain Bill Nelson led the cadets' scoring with 12 points. The next game on the schedule, against the powerful Adelphi Academy team from Brooklyn, went to the cadets' opponents, with the final score at 51-21. Again Nelson took high score honors by making 10 points. In the final game of the season, against Mt. St. Michaels, schedule with a the lead in the first quarter, and finished the game with the score 37-18. Red O'Loughlin led the last N.Y.M.A. making 5 points. the cadets tried vainly to conclude their victory. But the visiting hoopsters took scoring field by Though the cadets won but a single game, and lost six, they showed the finest of spirit and sportsmanship throughout the season. And with the prospects for 1940 resting upon the capable shoulders of returning squad members Mouse Gorton, Buzz Pfeil, Wally Wallace, Burt Hamilton, Ted Franck and john Nevins, hope is high for a season which will be noted for its victories, as well as for the clean, hard playing of the cadet team. Many thanks are due Lieutenant Angello for his splen- did coaching. SPRING SPORTS CAPTAINS Andrew Viola John Armellino Charles Govea Arthur S. Hollander Kenneth Cashin Page One hundred sixty-fue
