BOYS’ BASKETBALL SEASON The Port High Boys’ Basketball Team had a successful season, winning eight of their fifteen games. With six of these victories coming at the expense of league opponents, the local team closed the season in third place in the league. Port High opened the season in a non-league game at Bradford. With hardly a week of practice gone by, the Port boys outplayed their opponents for three quarters, only to lose in the last quarter because of the larger school’s many players who were able to tire our boys out. Although losing by the score of 18-12, Port High spoke well for herself against such a large school. The league season opened on December 14 with Emporium playing at Port. Insufficient practice was still in evidence and Port High lost their first league game. “Cheeky” and “Dewey” were the high scorers with five points apiece. As a Christmas present to El-dred, the Port boys handed them a defeat by a score of 32-21. With fourteen points to his credit, Duhart was high scorer for the game. The start of the new year saw Port High lose to the league champ ions, Shinglehouse, when Cheeky Dolaway once more led the Port scoring with four points.

THE TIGER LILY lowing Saturday Port High journeyed to Eldred, where they again met defeat by a score of 12-0. Aftfer two defeats the Port High lads came back on their feet to win two games, while the scrubs were tying another. Renovo was beaten 18-6 and Limestone was downed to the tune of 37-0, while the scrubs tied Otto Township School by the score of 13-13. In the following weeks of playing, Port High lost her remaining six games. The first four, Bradford, Johnsonburg, Emporium, and Kane, were lost to the bigger schools by the scores of 32-7, 20-6, 13-0, and 39-0, respectively. The next two games were closely contested matches. With practically all the breaks going her way, Smeth-port was able to down the local boys 13- 0. The following week Port High’s Potter County rival, Coudersport, squeezed through a close game to win 14- 12. In this game Port High easily outplayed her rivals and it was a hard blow to end the season with the better team defeated. OUR SENIORS “Cheeky” Dolaway ably captained this year’s football squad. He held down the half-back position and was always a threat to opponents with his passing, punting, and running. “Cheeky’s” loss from next year’s squad will be felt greatly. “Ernie” Edgreen took care of one of the end positions, while Simar and Mangold alternated at the other end of the line. “Bob” Lyman played in the quarter-back position and handled the team very capably through his signal calling. “Bob” Hoffower substituted in the backfield. “Bill” Painter easily took care of the center position, while “Ade” Bou-don and Jess Hurd played on the line. UNDER CLASSMEN Next year’s team will be captained by two members of this year’s varsity line. They are “Dick” Becker and “Fat” Freer. “Red” Gnagey and “Dunk” Anderson were valuable backfield men, while Earl Dolaway played both in the backfield and at end. Next year Port High will have many valuable experienced players with which to build a good team. “Fritz” Grabe will manage the team.

Bob Lyman and Men-fred Tenglund will receive diplomas also. P or the second straight season Harry Duhart was Port’s leading individual scorer. For two years he has held down a forward position on the varsity. Second scoring honors go to Howard Edgreen, who also has occupied a forward position on the varsity for the past two seasons. Chester Dolaway has ably held down the center position, and when the tip off was needed, “Cheeky” would always get it. He was a great defensive player, and on the offense his passes to “Dewey” and “Hoddy” usually resulted in two or more points for Port. Ernest Edgreen, the fourth senior on the varsity, was a continual threat to the opponents with his long shots and close guarding ability, which more than once stopped the opponent’s scoring. Earl Dolaway was the other member of the varsity. Although being only a sophomore and playing his first season on the first team, Earl could always be banked on for his good steady playing. Max Roys, who has very capably managed this year’s team, will receive a letter for his work. The other lettermen are Howard Edgreen, Harry Duhart, Chester Dolaway, Ernest Edgreen and Earl Dolaway.
