lllElllll llllSlllllllll Sllllllllllllll lllElllllllll ,L v 1 71 Z. ,I Woodrow Wilson's first reserve basketball team participated in a close Capital League race, finally tying for second place in the Capital League and first place in the City League. Coached by Mr. Dan lnveen, the iunior varsity beat every team in the Capi- tal League at least once. The squad's record was ll wins, and 9 losses. During the season several members won the honor of playing in varsity games. Because all of the reserve players were sophomores and iuniors, Mr. Marv Scott, varsity coach, will be using many of the reserves on his varsity team next year. Two sophomore basketball teams, the Reds, coached by Mr. Robert Wright, and the Blues, coached by Mr. John Sinkovich, were organized at Wilson this year. Both teams were plagued by inexperience and the additional handicap of losing sev- eral of their players to the varsity squad. For these reasons the teams did not make an outstanding record, but the team mem- bers did improve as the season progress- ed and many players developed skills which they will be able to use as future varsity players. The Reds finished with a l-12 record, while the Blues had a 3-IO record.

TERRY PARKER Stopping Wilson's winning streak, the Stadium Tigers trounced the Rams 54-32, and the highly rated West Bremerton Wildcats crept past Wilson 40-32. Because the games were closer than the scores indicate, the Wilson Rams kept in high spirits and 'beat East Bremerton 50-4I. The next week saw Wilson playing Bellarmine in two close and exciting City League tilts. The Lions took the first game 43-4I, but on the following Saturday, plagued by illness, the Rams topped the scoreboard 49-4l before a surprised and happy student body. Kerm Olson and Larry Jerdal both scored a dozen points, and Don Hagen, who came up from the reserves as a substitute picked off an impressive ten points. Following Capital League losses to Aberdeen, Stadium, and Olympia, the Wilson hoopmen met the West Bremerton Wildcats who took the hassle 43-40. Playing in their last basketball game, the Rams were not able to stop the Lincoln Abes who won 45-32. At the end of the season the team members chose Bud Reed as captain and Kerm Olson as Inspirational Award winner.
