Rathmell had a difficult task this winter in molding a team from a group of junior boys who had no previous training in the fundamentals of basketball. Tahe improvement which these boys made throughout the season was due to his successful coaching. Many of the team members wil join the senior high school squad next year, and they will be a welcome addition because of the experience and training they have received. - Schedule Upper Merion Opponents Radnor 27 25 West Chester 22 25 Bridgeport l 5 38 Phoenixville l3 20 - Phoenixville Zl l9 Rittenhouse l 9 28 Upper Darby l8 l4 West Chester 37 28 V Bridgeport - 16 I4 ' Stewart 33 17 Lower Merion I2 43 Radnor 12 5 Captain-Joe.

'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.
