Cil RLS' BASKETBALL ' Upper Merion girls opened their seventh basketball season in January I937. This was the first year in which they played two division basketball, the new style of court competition which is rapidly' replacing the old method of playing. The girls, although inexperienced, adapted themselves very quickly, and played some closely contested games. The junior varsity, winning five of the eight games on their schedule, showed promise of developing into a well-balanced team for next year. Captain Mickey Chambers, and her five senior teammates, will graduate in June. Eleanor Eckman has been chosen captain of the i938 varsity.

. FOOTBALL ' Football, the first varsity sport to be started at Upper Merion under Coach Norman Raub, continues to be one of the most popular of our athletic teams. A large squad practiced regularly all fall, and many Junior and Sophomore boys are ready to undertake the building of another team next year. The pleasures and benefits which our boys derive from their practices and games, makes us appreciate the importance of football as an extracur- ricular activity. The squad eicpresses its appreciation to Mr. Raub, who has worked untiringly to help our boys gain the best values from participation in football.

'UPPM l l BOYS BASKETBALL ' Seven seniors have played their last basketball game for Upper Merion. An unusually large number of experienced players will be back next season, and the prospects for a successful i938 court team are excellent. With the addition of some fine new material from the Junior High School, Mr. Raub will have a selective group for the first time in a number ofl years. 'Upper Merion has always upheld the policy that the success of a sport season cannot be measured by the number of wins and losses. Consequently we feel that the boys' basketball team has had a good season, and that they can be congratulated on their fine sportsmanship and team co-operation.
