24. STAMFORD SEMINARY BOYS' BASKETBALL Starting the season with only one veteran of the 1927-1928 season, Captain Decker at left forward, Stamford Seminary found it possible to check up but one victory in the schieduled Delaware League. However, it cannot be said that the year was an entirely disastrous one, for the boys made the best of the situation and managed to squeeze through the year with seven victories against ten defeats. Stamford seemed to be at its best against the better teams of the league, holding the league winning Delhi aggregation to a 35-28 score on the local court in what was probably the best played game of the year. The team also showed to advantage in a 51-4-9 conquest over the alumni before a large Christmas holiday crowd. Although losing twice to its closest rival, Hobart, in league contest, Stamford made these two defeats sweet by a ,late season victory rolling up 32 poi-nts to Hobart's 29. This contest was played during teacher's conference week and was signihcant in that Stamford took an early lead, maintained it until the last period when the visitors by a last minute spurt managed to tie the score, only to lose out when Capt. Decker sunk a beautiful Held basket and a point from the foul line to make victory doubly sure. As a running mate, Decker had Bill Wardwell who moved up from last yearls second team. Wardwell proved his worth at his position and next to Decker was the team's high scorer. MacLaury, another candidate from the previous yearls second team filled in at the center position and, although not as outstanding as Decker and Wardwell, was by far the most consistent. McNaught and D. Mattice handled the guard position together with Laux and Smith who were carried as first substitutes. Of thf-se mentioned, Decker and lVIacLaury are the only ones to be lost by graduation, the other four coupled with some able substitutes from the second varsity will act as a nucleus from which next year's team will be built.
