On February 25, our basketball season Came to an official close with the Nether Prov- idence game. The season on the whole was rather exceptional considering the poor start which the team had. The team consisted of such stars as lanky George Starzmann, who amazed the crowds with his rebound retrievingg Bob Parker, who electrified the fans with his sizzling passes and his defensive play under the boardsg Halsey House, who played a terrific game all season and netted himself quite a few pointsg and last but not least, versatile Bill Carpenter and speedy Bill Faulkner, who, along with Bill Sylvester proved himself an excellent prospect for next year. These fellows kept their opponents on guard with their fast breaks and did a swell job on the offense. Other boys who played good games are George Rostron, Lew Hobbs, Bob Aldinger, Dan Marin, Doug Schaub and Roland Woodruff. BASKETBALL FIRST ROW: L. LeCalsey, H. Guckes. SECOND ROW: P.

The season opened with the defeat of Nether Providence by a score of 42 to 17. The next game with Clifton Heights did not prove as easy as the first. The final score was 43 to 38 with a close fourth quarter. The following game with Prospect Park was quite a booster with a winning score of 52 to 5. Not only was it successful, but also amusing with the ond half. The fourth game of the season was a victory over Mzarple Newtown by a score of 36 to 15. .Tust about the toughest game of the season occurred next. Ridley Park had always been a hard team to beat, but with de- termination and fight we won, 50 to 33. The keen com- petition was shown by the scores at the end of the first and second quartersg Springfield lO - Ridley Park 12 and Springfield 19 - Ridley Park 19 respectively. Yeadon was the sixth victory and, sad to say, the last, for then the girls played Upper Darby. Upper Darby, having one of its best teams, defeated Springfield by playing a very good game. Even though they lost, the girls fought until the very end. Next year the girls hope to reach their goal of an undefeated season, and we wish them luck. 69 guards and the forwards switching positions for the sec-
