After completing a successful season of dodgeball, girls' teams began to play basketball. The fourteen sophomore teams, six iunior teams, and two senior teams were managed by Rita Bennett and refereed by Lao Crane, Kathy Bamford, Suzanne Strom, Sue Wilkenson, and Louise Perkins. Starting promptly at 3 o'clock, two games were played each afternoon. Sophomores played on Monday and Thursday, while the iuniors and seniors played on Wednes- day. EllllSf llllSllllllllll Outstanding basketball team Progressive dodgeball was the first girls' team sport of the season. The iunior and senior teams played a round-robin schedule for approximately six weeks on Wednesday nights, while the sophomores played their games within their own nine teams on Monday nights. Nancy Chessman, the dodgeball manager, commented that the sophomore tedms showed skill and wonder- ful sportsmanship acquired from experience in their gym classes. Fighting to gain possession of the ball, these girls enloy a game of after-school basketball. Elllllf llllllllll-lll Sportsmanship is an important part of progressive dodgeball.

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.
