The next game was against a hard fighting crew of foot- ball players from Haverford College. The little Red Raiders dropped this one 58-56 after going into overtime. Still on the losing end they traveled to Lawrenceville to take a 54-31 defeat. After these two defeats they started to click and beat B. M.l. 42-31. Their next contest was at Peddie where they had hard luck and lost 42-34. At this point in the season, George Porchelli and Bob Goodspeed, who had been sharing top scoring honors, moved up to the varsity squad. The loss of two top players did not seem to handicap the J.V.'s, though, and they handed Admiral Farragut a 50- 45 defeat on the home court. For the second contest with the town team, aided by a 54 graduate, the J.V.'s didn't come out on top. The Townies defeated the Raiders 49-40. The LV. 's then had a two game winning streak, winning over B,M,I, 47-32 and Farragut 51-39. The B.M.I. game was described by Coach Cragin as the best one of the season. To end the season as it was begun, Coach Cragin's boys dropped the last game to V,F.M.A, 50-38. After the loss of Porchelli and Goodspeed, Gary De Munik held the scoring honors, and, along with Curt Sahner, sharred outstanding playing ability. The season ended with a record of 5 wins to 6 losses. Pennington shared fine sportsmanship and good playing throughout the season, and by next year, members of the team should appear in the varsity lineup. 68
