The old men from the faculty formed an organized team and played five games. They did quite well for themselves winning three games and losing two. The team was composed of the following four veterans from the previous year: Ed Morgan. Fred Sullivan. Fred Delany. and Al Aucoin. This years team also boasted three very promising rookies. Bill Toner. john Petit. and Russ Lodi. The team held several practice sessions and then were off and running as they beat the high school varsity by seven points. The big boys were really rounding into shape. and in their next outing against the Foxboro High School Faculty Team. they really turned on the steam and won handily by a large margin. The old fellows then took a short rest before taking on the Foxboro Faculty again on the Foxboro court. The old fellows couldn't find their shooting eves. and their undefeated string was broken as Foxboro won easily. Again the old men took another rest after this game before meeting the high flying high school Varsity boys who had revenge in their hearts. The two teams clashed on the eve of the XVinter Carnival. and the young boys almost ran the old men out of the hall as the Varsity won quite easily by a three-point margin. It was a hard loss for the old fellows. but a great emotional victory for the Varsity. The faculty also played the High School Alumni and won easily by some forty points with Big Ed Morgan setting a faculty scoring record of 39 points in that one ball game. The faculty team was weak- ened somewhat. however. as Fred Delaney retired from active competition at mid-season. After such a successful and tiring season. the old fellows just climbed back into their wheel-chairs and went merrily on teaching school. But they may be back next yearg remember. old basketball players never die: they sink into the court. ' 3 CLC!! QUIT! ct an
