ln this first game against Eastern Baptist the Textilites ran hard and passed well. ln succeeding games, the final score was some- times against them, but they command our appreciation for their effort, team spirit, and sportsmanship. Handman and Alpert, both playing their first year of basketball for P.T.l., proved the surprises of the year. Handman is a great defensive player, and, as shown by the figures, a high scorer, too. Forsythe, another first year man is the best floor man on the team. He is always in the right place at the right time. Wagner can definitely be named, Wllhe Fighter. He never lets anyone claim the ball as long as he is within diving distance. The title of the most improved player on work during the season. This young athlete not only knows how to shoot a basketball, but also has that competitive spirit which makes a man invaluable. lt's with much regret that we announce the graduation of Rosenberg from school, and finis to a brilliant basketball C31'CC1'. A new member of the squad, Marshall, had the opposing teams looking up when he walked on the floor. Marshall is well over the six foot mark, and looks like a mighty good prospect for next yearis team. Haltman, who was used in a utility roll, became a much improved player. His spirit and determination will always be an asset to the team. The entire squad as a whole looks very the team must go to Ross Peffal for his great good.

The St. John's game was a give and take battle from the very outset of the vnnlest. And what really drove the spectators to distravlion- and finally to a grand ovation for Textile was the manner in which the Textilites shoved defeat right down the St. ,l0l1ll,S throats in the final 30 seconds of play. St. .l0hn,s was desperate, they fouled Textile and Coach .l0hI'lS0ll elerted to have our men naive the free shot to keep possession. Textile ping-ponged the ball in brilliant fashion anfl at the final horn were still making St. .lulmis chase them like 11 headless Chicken. Letis have a lot more games like lhis one.
