Courtmen End with Even Record Coach Rex Downey came to Roanoke this year from Waynesboro, Va., where he coach- ed the Little Giants to ten consecutive win- ning seasons. This year's game with Waynes- boro was a real heartbreaker, losing 57 to 48, but the Patriots came back later in the seas- on to beat the Little Giants 63 to 57. The game with E. C. Glass was also a real thriller, going into six overtimes, although the Pa- triots lost 42 to 40. Coach Downey is looking forward to a championship team at Patrick Henry in the next three to tive years. This optimism is backed by many prospective sophomores and freshmen. Basketball Managers, Richard Hancock and Tommy Bent, clean up the gym after the game. 34 Dave Price and Al Buckly tangle for a rebound with on unknown Wolverine as Andy Good is about to step into the action.

Despite the losing season, the matmen continued to work hard in practice, even with lack of facilities. This effort paid off in the last three matches of the season, winning twice over Covington and once over William Byrd. Special recognition goes to heavyweight, Bill Stephens, who for the past two years has won sixteen straight regular season matches, including eight this season. Coach Leon Briggs, in his first year as a wrestling coach, worked constantly with the boys, developing them into a fine tearn.
