Basketball The basketball team, composed mostly of returning lettermen, compiled a record of seven wins and thirteen losses. It was the teanfs first year under Coach Wilhelrni, who did a fine job in developing the players. Two new leagues were formed in the area this year, and the Purple Knights partici- pated in both of them. ln the Delaware Valley League, which included seven teams in the area, they ended the season in sixth place. ln the DelMarva League, which included only four teams, they tied for first place. The coaches of the Delaware Valley League chose a group of all-stars from players in the league. Representing King's among the all-stars were Harry Sink on the first team, Sher Bowser on the B team, Phil Meredith and Bob Hart on the honorable mention list. The starting team for the Purple Knights usually included Bowser at center, Sink and Hoffman at the forward positions and Meredith and Hart at guard. Seniors Bowser, Sink and Meredith completed four years of varsity basketball for King's.

girls lgaskefball No team this year found it an easy task to defeat the King's College girls7 varsity basketball team. On the home floor, when King's opponents did win, it was always by a slim margin. Besides upperclassmen, the team included a number of freshmen, many of whom im- proved remarkably throughout the season. Those who came faithfully to practices were rewarded by better ball handling and playing. The team always counted it a great privi- lege to play together as a group of Christians. Foremost in their minds was the desire to he a testimony for their Saviour both on the floor and in the locker room. Playing as forwards were Beverly Pugsley, Patricia Robbins, Mary MacMicking Barb- ara Raker, June Hagen, Judith Rossiter, and Gail Robinson. Guards were Mary Jarvis, Kathleen Kerr, Margaret Horton, Shirley Andrews, Barbara Calebaugh, Nancy Ashcroft, Helen Hummel, and Audrey Cochran. Recognition was given to Mary Jarvis as guard and Beverl Pugsley as forward as being the two most valuable players to the team. Both Y concluded four years of varsity basketball playing. To Miss Peterson, for her fine coach- . . . I . . f th ing, and Barbara Bunting, for an excellent Job as manager, goes the appreciation o e team and the entire college.
