The A N I) H E A N Page Twenty-nine Basketball 1952-1953 Following a very successful football season the varsity basketball team could not seem to get into high gear . The season ' s record included two wins and nine losses. The nine defeats were not all wide margins, however. A 52-46 loss from Norton, a 52-46 defeat at Case and a 43-42 breath-taker at Wrentham in an overtime period, all kept the spectators on the edge of their seats. The Saints won a very impressive game over a tall St. George ' s team 61-35. It was one of those days when everything worked smoothly. Passing, shooting and good team-play was evident throughout. Our other win was over Wrentham, 47-25, in which the boys looked good and played excellent ball. The varsity lacked in height with Bob Jones, center, who is six feet tall, our biggest man. Other members of the team were Don Redfern and John Griffiths as varsity guards; Russell Brown and Charlie Fields as forwards with Don AAclntosh, Lawrence Vilardi, and Dick Nettles standing by as replacements. iiiiiiMiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimiMiiiiiiim

Baseball 1953 With the opening of baseball season we find St. Andrew ' s has a few veterans to form a nucleus for this year ' s team. They are: Charles Fields, Lindsay Steele, Carl Morse, Bob Jones, Dick Nettles, Bill Esser and Captain John Griffiths. The team should be strong down the middle with Esser, AAorse and Sanford catching; Griffiths on the mound; Bob Jones at second base; and either Jim Duke or Steele in center-field. We will have to depend on Griffiths to carry ninety percent of the pitching burden since he is the only returning moundsman. In addition to this the Middlers have entered a Junior High School league which should lead to better trained boys in the lower grades for our future varsity teams. Both teams will try their best for a good season.
