This condition was a very real factor in the “Blue Streaks” losing their first games to New Jersey competition since the middle of the 1932 season. The team was a hard working club, one that never gave up till the last man was out. k Although the team was “green” and did not quite come up to the standards set by the 1913 and 1934 squads its record of 700 N was good enough to give it the cochampionship of the county. After losing three heart-breaking games in a row the team again found its early season stride to finish the schedule with four clean-cut victories. Fifty-one

Fairer 0 Asst. Coach Francis Bennett 0 Team Phvsician Dr. A. C. Zuck THE “Blue Streaks” of 1935 very nearly upheld the records of the 1933 and 1934 teams in not having a New Jersey high school team score against Washington. Very nearly—but not quite. A twenty yard “fumble play” by an opponent ruined the record. The team was inexperienced and light. To offset these unavoidable circumstances the squad showed the greatest defensive lighting qualities ever exhibited by a Washington High team. Unable to score against heavier and more experienced teams the “Blue Streaks” put up such terrific goal line stands that it was only by accident that their goal line was crossed once during the entire season. Against the undefeated Bangor team the fighting spirit of the boys not only held off several scoring threats on the very goal line but actually resulted in the team outplaying their opponents the greater part of the game. Against our arch rival, Flemington, the team could not be stopped and ran up the largest score on record for this ancient series. They gave their all—their morale and spirit were beyond reproach—they played the Game! Fifty

Fairer SCORING an average of 32 points per game and rolling up a total score of 474 points to their opponents’ 289, the “Boys in Blue” turned in a nearly perfect record. The team’s lone defeat in a fifteen game schedule was a low scoring contest played at Dover. The success of this year’s team was due in large part to excellent shooting from all parts of the court, combined with aggressive defensive strength. The season ended in a blaze of glory as the “Blue Streaks” defeated three bitter rivals in a period of four days. The record set by the 1936 team equals the all-time record for basketball during the history of Washington High School. Fifty-two
