There were several regulars from last year’s squad, and with the new members, Mr. Schuyler had a fine group of boys from which he chose his A and B teams. The Cards won about 35 per cent of their games this year, ALTHOUGH SEVERAL TOUGH OPPONENTS WERE ADDED TO THE BASKETBALL SCHEDULE. TWO OF THOSE WERE WENONA AND Vi MONK, THE WaRRENSBURG PLAYERS WERE INVITED TO PLAY IN A NEH TOURNAMENT, THE PETERSBURG Invitational Tournament, from which the Cards brought third-place trophy. The District and County Tournaments were held at Niantic. The Cards lost their first game in the County Tournament, BUT THEY CAME THROUGH WITH FLYING COLORS TO CAPTURE SECOND place in the District Tournament. Warrensburg, in the past three YEARS, HAS TAKEN TWO FIRST PLACES AND ONE SECOND PLACE IN THE District Tournament, a record of which any school would be proud. The basketball season was successful this year,asd the Cards ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SEASON NEXT YEAR, SEVEN PLAYERS ON THIS YEAR'S TEAM WERE LOST THROUGH GRADUATION THIS yeari Captain Willard Park; Junior Binkley, guard! George Cochran center; Bill Major, guard; Delbert Brown, forward! and Gene SCHROEDER, GUARD. ALL OF THESE BOYS WERE ON THE A SQUAD AND MOST OF THEM were REGULARS, The GRADUATING SENIORS WISH THE SQUAD THE BEST OF LUCK AND EVEN MORE SUCCESS THAN THEY HAD THIS PAST SEASON. This year the squads were divided into three committees. These committees were to keep the boys from breaking training RULES AND REGULATIONS. WHEN A MEMBER OF THE SQUAD WAS CAUGHT BREAKING TRAINING RULES, HE WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE COMMITTEES AND DEALT with PROPERLY ACCORDING TO ’“HATEVER RULES AND REGULATIONS HE HAD BROKEN. THIS PROVED TO BE OF GREAT HELP TO THE BOYS, AND THEY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING THE SAME COMMITTEES W|TH NEW OFFICERS NEXT YEAR.
