Um Kvach After losing Mr. Bishop to the Navy, Lampeter was left without a coach, but we were fortunate enough to secure Mr. Neff. He really had a tough job of it since we didn't have a school team the year before, but how he came through! We feel this was largely due to his personality and willingness to devote his spare time to working with the fellows without financial recompense. We appreciate all that he has done for the team and their success. MR. NEFF Jim Umar, Jw. The boys this year were very glad to hear the good news that we were again going to have a basketball team. They started practicing with their new coach in the early part of November for the first game on the 23rd. Werner, having worked on his set and pivot shots, came through and sank a few each game. He played all excellent defensive game. Hollinger, our tall center, worked hard under the basket and each time came through with points. Gall, another guard, did much to help us win with his set shots from the center of the floor. Shell, a very promising Junior, played good all-round hall and came through as high scorer in several games. Shank, another Junior, led the dribbling down the floor. His peep shots helped a great deal in winning our games. Harsh, a sophomore on the team, was a very outstanding player, especially for his ability to get olf his feet for the ball. He played a good defensive game in the back line. Martin, a pivot man with his left handed shots, out-faked the opponents nearly every time. Pattishall played little varsity ball, hut along with Lefever, DeMora, Forrest, Mellott and Mattern, contributed to an outstanding .I-Vee team. JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD James Graybill, Richard Musser, Paul Mattern, Glenn Mellott, Wiilliam DeMora, Harold Lefever, George Forrest, Ivan Frick, Rob- ert Martin. ldmf Banks!
