Junior Varsity basketball has long been thought of at King’s as a second string varsity, but this year it had a separate coach and schedule. Coached by Bob Davies, the Jayvees scheduled most of their games as preliminaries to the varsity game. Although they usually started slowly, they grad- ually increased the playing tempo and spirit until in the last quarter they were at their best. Featur- ing a slow deliberate type of play, they were never classified as a high scoring team. In spite of the fine scoring records produced, led by George Meyers, the Jayvees did not have a very impressive record; they did, however, at times show playing skill which is more common among varsity teams. The members of the team were Gil Gregory, Don Roberts, Warren Biebel, Dave Reese, George Meyers, Dean McAllister, Ernie Bowser, Dick Cook, John French, Dick Bowser, Don Drake, and Dal Myers. Chuck Miller was manager. JAYVEE RESULTS King's JV Opponent 7 tee | Vice wrt 64 74 Zimeeaee Millersville: }V Se.) ) - 0 Ce ECOADCNOGers. 4 2p) yas 27 28 ....

The league was made up of teams from Crozer Sem- inary, Eastern Baptist Seminary, Philadelphia School of the Bible, Bible Institute of Pennsylvania, Reformed Episcopal Seminary, and King’s. With Bob Reumann as player-coach, a powerful squad was formed. In rolling over Crozer in the first game, King’s demonstrated that it was going to be hard to stop her bid for the league title. We went through our schedule piling up astronomical scores against all opposition. The day came for the final game of the season; it was with Reformed Episcopal, the only other team in the league with a chance for the title. King’s was undefeated; Re- formed Episcopal had been tied by Eastern Baptist. In a hard fought game King’s was defeated by Reformed Episcopal. 74

VARSITY BAS CEE Bes rae Led by the splendid playing of Captain Danny Bartkow and George Dempsey, the King’s basketball team rolled up an impressive record over the toughest opposition they have ever faced. King's got off to very poor start losing the first four games. After taking the next two, they took off for Wheaton just after the Christmas holidays. This year there were two other games out west, one with Hunting- ton College and one with Taylor College. These games had to be played without the services of Captain Bartkow who was ill at the time. In the Wheaton game, King’s was right in there until the last quarter when Dempsey and McDaniel fouled out and Marsh Davis sprained his ankle. Returning from their trip, King’s resumed her schedule a week later against Glassboro. The game resulted in a victory for King’s and was soon to be counted as the first victory in a string of twelve straight. Included in this string was a victory over Millersville STC, which is one of the better teams in the Pa. STC loop. Leading this high-scoring aggregation at forward was George Dempsey, who has a scoring record which is probably among the best in the nation. At the other forward was Captain Danny Bartkow. Marsh Davis was at center with Jim Gerhard, Jim Hicks, and Danny McDaniels alternating at guards. The substitutes were Don Drake, Roy Green, Bob Reumann, George Meyers and Dick Bowser. Bob Bullock was manager. 76
