Basketball Breaking away from opposing defensemen, Stan Dorfman dribbles down the floor. Oak Park's Junior Varsity Basketball team carved out a creditable 7-9 record this season. After starting rather slowly they worked up to a burst of energy which enabled them to take five of their last eight games. Coach Glenn Goerke believes the team is capable of playing better than 500 ball and expects a winning season next year. Although most of the juniors on the team will be elevated to the Varsity, over three- fourths of the players are expected to return. In addition, new participants in the sport are expected to stiffen competition and make it extremely hard to earn a position on the team. This year's young team developed con- stantly and there was great improvement in many of the players. Next year these boys will have the ex- perience necessary to make them into good ballplayers and to give Chk Park a strong Junior Varsity team.
