BASKETBALL From ' Row: Sullivan, R. CUcason, Baughman, Gallcrani, Mamni. Coughlin. Second Row: Garvin, B. Gleason, Yelk , Adams, Barnett, Drysdale, Zigler, Prophet. I j The 1950 Raider basketball team had great potentialities. It rolled through its pre-season contests undefeated, while outscoring four opponents 242-124, but unfortunately it foundered when it hit the tough Bay State League competition. The starting club, made up of five seniors, was Pete Gallerani and Red Coughlin, co-captains, Lurr Maccini, Dick Baughman, and Paul Yelle. When performing at their best these boys were a great club; they could have been one of the best teams, but due to injuries and bad luck they found the going rough. Despite this, the boys had many good days. Pete’s hook shots, Red’s driving lay-ups, Lurr’s one-handers from the corner, Bocky’s set shots, and Paul’s driving one-handers accounted for more than 75% of the team’s points. The two outstanding subs were Jack Barnett from New Jersey and sophomore Paul Zigler. Jack’s long sets and Ziggy’s” jump shot were valu¬ able in tight spots. Other fellows who played often were Dick Gleason, Lou Garvin, John Prophet, Bernie Gleason, and Cousey Adams. 20

Well, another season is over but the Wellesley High Sextet came very near to capturing the Bay State Title this year. The first game was a low scoring affair with Wellesley victorious 2-0 over Need¬ ham. The team was very much pleased to overpower their arch rival in the first game. The next game with Framingham turned out in a 2-2 deadlock. Our third contest with B. C. High was a heart breaker, with B. C. High coming out on the long end of a 4-3 score. The main trouble of this game was the Wellesley penalties. The game with Walpole was another tough game to lose by such a small margin as 2-1. After losing two in a row, Coach Bud” Hines’ squad came back fighting with a 4-2 win over Nor¬ wood, o nly to be set down again by Waltham 2-1. The last game of the regular season ended in a decisive victory for Wellesley over Watertown, 6-0. During the play off, the team caught fire as they set down in order, B. C. High 3-2, Waltham 5-2 and Walpole 1-0. These three teams are the squads who previously had beaten Welles¬ ley during the regular season. This was a very successful season and there arc many letter men returning next year. Mr. Hines and the team are to be congratulated on the finest season since 1946, when Wellesley took the championship. 22
