Cn the home Court the team lost only one game while winning seven. Led by Bill Simons IUU points, the team played against the toughest Competition ever encountered by a Poland Reserve Team. The team wishes to thank Mr. Paris and Mr McKee for their expert help throughout the season. Three of our players, Roy Wilson, Don Weyer, and Tom Smolanovich, were chosen on the All-County team. Tom Smolanovich was also chosen on the AllATri-County first team. Iack Klinke and Fred Lyons, the other two regulars, along with Iohn Chambers, Arthur Macklin, and Bill Seidner, also earned letters this year. Two returning lettermen, Lyons and Smolanovich, plus quite a few stal- warts from the Reserve Team make next year's prospects look good. -if Page Twenty-eight fff-
