THE PENSEMAN BASKETBALL Captain, HARRY HOFFMAN Jllmzagcr, GEORGE CRONEY Coach, H. C. GOTTSHALK F. BOND VV. FYFE bl. Swear. R. BOOTH E. PICKEN G. VVRITER H li winter of 1927 saw one Of the best basketball teams Pennington has ever had. Soon after football was over, a call for basketball candi- dates was issued and an unusually large squad turned out. Captain Hoffman, Booth and VVriter were the players iback from last year's varsity. Along with Fyfe and Bond, from last year's second team, Coach Gottshalk had a fast quintet to start with. However, it was soon found that Picken and Sweel were first class guards and they were immediately given that position. Our first game was with Newark Prep. When the final whistle blew the score was tied, and as Newark refused to play the tie off, we automatically won, 2-O. T he next game with Trenton Normal was lost, 29-24. Our quintet put up an excellent fight, but they were outclassed. Then followed three 'consecutive victories. Bloomfield was overwhelmed, 52-40g Fort VVashington was defeated 42-26, and VVenonah was nosed Out, 30-27. Our next game was with Peddie. The first half of the game was even, but Peddie pulled out in front in the second half and won, 31-19. Blair was defeated 33-25 in a rough game, in which our boys played admirably. This game was followed by a defeat by New York Stock Exchange, the score being 35-32. Our last game was with Trenton Normal and, although our team dis- played the same fighting spirit they did all season, we lost, 33-25. Thus with five victories and four defeats, we may count the season a success. Patton, F. Eaton and Cooke of the second team, deserve mention for the opposition they gave the varsity. Manager Croney and his assistants merit credit for excellent work they showed in taking care of visiting teams and arranging the schedule. 75
