(J asketball ta 1951-52 Yellow Jackets lacked heighth but made up for it with speed and scrappy, clever ball handling. They started off the season by playing Milford on the home floor. Their first five games proved to be losses. Then they won over Millersburg, 63-55. The Yellow Jackets then played the Catholic Seminary, New Paris, North Webster and a second game with Milford, losing 3 out of the h by close margins. The Jackets then went on to win a thriller over Claypool in a double overtime. Sjnracuse proceeded on a three game losing streak before coming up against a much favored South Whitley team and in one of the best games of the year the Yellow Jackets downed South Whitley to add another win to the books. In the Sectional Tourney Syracuse easily defeated Mentone, 69-41, in the first game. Columbia City followed and downed the Yellow Jackets, the latter going on to the finals. Thus ended the playing season for the 1951-52. team. The Syracuse Varsity loses three players this year: Pete Doll, Joel Bates, and Tom Roose.
