VARSITY BASKETBALL Carter, Brasington, Cassidy, Gurney, Lee, Fandry, Lee, Bennett, Playing under the handicap of lack of experi-- enced players, this Ponce de Leon basketball team still managed to come through with a fair season, winning lO out of 22 games. The only Letterman'i who returned to the line-up was lack Brasington who took advantage of his ex-A perience to become the star of the season. Bobby and Billy Lee played exceptionally well all year. The defeat of Homestead state B cham- pions, 30-29, by Ponce de Leon, proved the high-water mark of the year.

FOOTBALL TEAM i -A -an L ,. lst row Cahr, Liles, Atkinson, Patton, Lee, Dacy, Pennekamp, Vickers, Tatum, Brasington, Byrd. 2nd row Pierce, McLaughlin, Smethurst, Maxwell, Morrow, Scott, Rath, Lee. 3rd row Mann, Spry, Williams, Magill, Cramley, Carter, Keele. A sparkling offense and a rugged defense were the two main factors which permitted the Ponce team to walk away with victories over such notables as Andrew jackson, Fort Lauderdale, and Lake Worth, and fight Miami Beach, The Little Three Champions, to a 7-7 tie. Starting off their season with a decisive victory over Lake Worth, the Cavaliers let down when a sudden drain by the armed forces on the team left them without the services of Bill Byrd, Ty Vickers, and Raymond Lyles, all key men. Thus weakened, the Cavaliers, the following week, eked out a l3-6 victory over Dania. Still suffering from the losses, the Cavaliers fought Miami Beach to a 7-7 tie. A spirited Ponce team, playing under the lights of the Orange Bowl, lost a heart-breaker to Andrew jackson, l3-6, as defeat came with a blocked punt. The two highlights of the season came when Ponce handed defeats to Ft. Lauderdale, 20-O, and Andrew jackson, I2-O, but failed to defeat Miami Beach next week. This defeat lost them their chance to take the Little Three Championship. Outstanding all year were Herman Atkinson, George Dacy, Bobby Lee. Billy Lee, lohn Pennekamp, and jack Brasington. This is the second year the team has been under Coach Cramley and it turned in the best record it has obtained in four yearsg winning four, losing four, and tying one.
