VARSITY BASKETBALL Fast and diminutive, the Young Sycainores of State High improved as the season grew older. Their 1940-41 season record showed 7 wins against 13 losses. Although blacked by the defeat margin, the Blue and Gold statistics showed, however, that the netters were outscored by an average of only one point per game. The start of the season looked bad because Coach Paul Wolf had only two returning letter men and no man on the team reached the six-foot mark. But with steady practice and hope, the Blue and Gold netters became a threat to any team that played them. The State High team 1'eached its height when it scored a 49-33 victory over a strong Clinton outfit at the end of the season, and went to the quarter-finals of the State sec- tional tourney before being beaten by Garfield 25-21. Tommy Parkhurst and Hubert Hughes, the only two seniors on the team, were elected co-captains for the year 1940-41. Jim Bowman, junior forward, was elected captain for the year 1941-42. After the season was over, a gold basketball was awarded to Tommy Parkhurst and letters were presented to the rest of the players. With only two boys lost by graduation this year, Coach Paul Wolf has high hopes of IUNIOR VARSITY having a strong team next year. SEASON RECORD State Riley, 31. State 30 Garfield, -10.
