P1TTs1-'IELD HIGH SCHOOL 1939 BASKETBALL Pittsheld opened this year's spasmodic basketball season with a spectacular exhibition with Adams. The raw, inexperienced boys of Pittsfield, without a single left-over from last year's varsity, fought the champions of Adams to a stand- still only to see in the sudden death period, Al Pietras of Adams stumble forward and, falling on both knees, sink a basket from this unconventional position. The final score was 36-24. Pittsfield, however, could not maintain this phenomenal showing, dropping to seventh place in the league for the first half of the schedule. In the next game we were defeated by Dalton 18-34, but bounced back to the win column by overwhelming Williamstown 32-28. Then we lost to St. Joe CNorth Adamsj 23-26, to Bennington 18-32, and, finally, to Drury 17-29. In the first City Series game a rejuvenated Pittsfield team rose to the occasion by upsetting St. Joe 19-17, on Grady's basket in the over-time period. This improved Pittsfield team climbed from seventh place to fourth place in the league during the second half of the season. Williamstown was trounced 49-27. Then after losses to the powerful quintets of Adams, 19-39, and Drury, 30-35, the team finished the season with three sweet, revengeful victories. Bennington was defeated by a surprisingly large margin 42-20. Dalton fell by the score of 34-24 and, finally, St. Joe CNorth Adamsj to the tune of37-28. St. joe ofPittsfield copped the City Series by winning the second game 29-25 and the third 20-16. In their only other game with a high school, the exciting contest with Lee, the boys had the new experience of being called back from the showers, although they had apparently won 31-30. The scorer had made a mistake, the real count being 30-30. Happily, however, Pitts- field won in the overtime 32-30. Throughout most of the games the high scorer of Pittsfield was the clever, eagle-eyed Walt Skowronski. The regular line up for the team was as follows: Forwards-Walt Skowronski and Frank Moynihan Guards-Ralph Renzi and Vince Monteleone Center-Art McGill one hundred twenty-three
