JUNIOR VARSITY FUSES INTO VARSITY JUNIOR VARSITY MEMBERS Although they showed hard-fighting determina¬ tion and pursuit, the first Olympic junior varsity team was unable to score a victory this season. Lack of experience and depth on the squad hindered the team in overcoming the opponent’s attacks. Nearing the end of the season, the junior varsity and varsity benefitted mutually from working together in prac¬ tice sessions. Since the junior varsity ended its sea¬ son two games before the varsity, the former dressed out and played a substantial amount of the final games. Practicing and working with the varsity gave the players needed experience in varsity action that they will need next year.
