Basketball Considering the 1943-44 basketball season as a whole, Southold High School enjoyed the best season it has had in many years. With one or two exceptions, the boys played a consistently high grade of basketball. Injuries and sickness were factors which kept the team from being at full strength all the time but the season’s record of 13 wins and 4 losses speaks for itself, especially since 7 of the 13 victories were against Class A. high schools. The usual starting line-up was as follows: R. F., George Dickerson (Capt.); L. F., Albert Dickerson; C., John Machinchick; L. G., John Norklun; R. G., Walter Courtenay. Antone Skwara started the season as a regular guard but injuries kept him from being a regular after the first game. Carlisle Cochran and Thomas Shalvey, both of whom saw service in several games, did fine work in the forward positions. Sidney Case was on hand at all times as a valuable substitute and got into several games. Shalvey was used at guard position after the first Southampton game in which Norklun broke a bone in his foot and was kept out for the balance of the season. Many of Southold’s games were won by large margins usually established during the first half. After the boys had gained a comfortable lead, “Goldie” used his subs wherever possible. Machinchick was the highest individual scorer with an even 200 points for the season. Albert Dickerson was second with a total of 168 and George Dickerson’s 115 was third. These figures tell the story of Southold’s scoring. Norklun and Courtenay, both over six feet tall, were able to gain possession of the ball for South-old a greater part of the time and this factor proved a great help. With the exception of Skwara, all the regulars are Seniors and ordinarily the team would lose all of them through graduation. At present Norklun and Courtenay plan to continue their studies here next year. With these two as a nucleus, “Goldie” hopes to have another formidable combination for next season. Games were played with Greenport, Riverhead, Southampton, Eastport, Mattituck, Hampton Bays and Bridgehampton. Southold also played extra games with some of the nearer schools. The Junior Varsity did very well in winning many of their games. They played well considering the fact that this was the first time many of them had participated in games other than intramurals. The starting squad usually was taken from the following: Charles Gagen, Charles Turner, Carlisle Cochran, Frank Sanford, Tom Shalvey, Dudley Newbold, Spencer Petty, Robert Rothman and Roger Grattan. Other members of the Junior Varsity were: Bob Baker, Frank Diller and Dick Wirth. Boys' Intramurals tarting immediately after Christmas vacation, boys’ intramural basketball began in the gymnasium during the noon hour. Referees were: John Norklun, Antone Skwara, Walter Courtenay, George Dickerson and Charles Gagen. The games were held under Coach “Goldie’s” supervision. Teams of the high school group were: Tigers (Champions): John Stankewicz (Capt.), Bill Bor-kowski, Joe Papurca, Herbert Fisher, Dick Youngs, Antone Rysko, Buddy Bedell and Don Case. Lions: Bob Goldsmith (Capt.), James Kane, Raymond Annabel, Bob Olsson, Harold Walters, Donald Young, Bernard Shalvey and George Jarusiewic. Red Wings: John Blados (Capt.), Bruno Swiatocha, Bill Grigonis, John Burkhardt, Victor Cherry, Harold Young and Raymond Kos. Teams played five-minute quarters with two groups alternating their quarters. Boys on the Varsity and Junior Varsity were not allowed to play because “Goldie” wants these games for those who have no other chance to play basketball. Some of the high school group showed much ability, while around 12 boys of the 6-7-8 grade group showed promise of seeing duty on the varsities in the future. The games were hotly contested and were close, especially in the junior group where 6 tie-games were played to determine the championship. Teams participating in the junior group were: Wildcats (Champions): Chet Albertson, Walter Blados, Antone Gajeski, George Kaelin, Earl Over-ton, Allen Ovisanik (Capt.), John Polywoda, Louis Walters. Eagles: Allen Dickerson, Charles Hunter, Bernard Gagen (Capt.), Alfred Goldsmith, Jim Kaelin, Jack McCaffery, Dick Van Duzer and Dick Purcell. Wolves: Joe Aksten, Gerard Dickerson (Capt.), Paul Cassidy, Jackie Gagen, Philip Horton, Donald Miller, Alfred Sanford and Joe Sawiski.
