BOYS ' BASKETBALL The prospects for the basketball team looked rather dim at their open- ing practice but through the instructions of Coach Cox they steadily im- proved and ran over the Alumni and Achilles in their first two games. Of the next five games only one was to their liking, but they came out of the rut by defeating the N. A. C. A. and the Alumni. The following week they quickly polished off St. Vincent and Hamp- ton. In a return engage- ment they easily romped over Achilles and the N. A. C. A. The fol- lowing week they met one of their hardest teams, Matthew Whaley, but came out on the long end of 33 to 28 score. The Botetourt team fell to the fast Poquoson team the next week and they closed their season by yielding to Matthew Whaley the following night.

SEASON ON THE GRIDIRON The gridiron boys struck a rather tough season, but made colorful appearances against their opponents. The light, but fast Poquoson team was outclassed by their opponents in every case except one, but their tricky T and deceptive passes gained for them a reputation not to be forgotten. The record is not, however, a fair example of the capabilities of the players, but is more a result of a team hampered the entire season by injuries.

GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The prospects for the girls ' team were very favorable this season with four first stringers remaining and a number of lettermen. Although the team was constantly beset by injuries the squad won 9 of the 14 games played. Especially outstanding was the defensive work at the guard post. Carmines and Bunting captained this small, fast, fiery team and were largely responsible for their victories.
