The New Haven High school should be proud of having had such good representative team. as the High school basketball team Tho quintet, the members of which had very little practice together, made brilliant showing. After starting the season poorly both Financially and in playing. the team took brace and came out ahead in both departments, Their sche- dule was q very long and hard one, having the hardest High school basket ball teams fin the state on It.
 The brace which the local boys took towards the latter part of the basket pal! season was certainly remarkable.
 Many or the other High school quin- tets were sadly surprised and disap- pointed when they found that they had been beaten by what they supposed to be cinch. This was due 10 tho good work of all the members on the team, who worked earnestly and diligently.
 saXe and Frankel the two crack for- wards of the local high quintet, played great basketball. Their work aroused much eommendation both from outside teams and spectators Their shooting Was accurate and effective. Tn one of the games played they both together scored 40 points out of A points made, and in another game. which was N5"iAHt liiN rAl ilik w tLtIDuTy llNe they secured 20 points out of the 2l made. By repeating this good work fin many games they established a wonderful record. Besides being crack shots they also did hne passing and played good blocking game.
 Sake, on the other hand played a god passing game throughout the sea ; son. He was unable to pay during the early part of the season. but made up Tor this during the time he did play. While he played with the team they only lost three games, which was partly dueto his fine work.
 The record for tho highest numbe. or goals shot in one game Is held by Saxe. who had total of 12
 He secured the next highest number also, which was s. Frankel always proved q close second fin netting goals. Frankel also shot many fouls
 Captain Dustin, who played center l also did great work. He had many star players against him. and made a good jump on many of his opponents, there by helping his side immensely He made many goals during tho season They were very needy ones, too.
 Alderman, Starkweather, Connolly Gerau and Koletsky completed the squad. koletsky played only In three games during the early part of the sea son. and little chance was given to see what he could do. starkweather started 10 play in the middle Of the season at guard. Although he was un able to secure a goal throughout the season, his blocking was simply great He played against many star forwards and by his dlligent blocking prevented many qf them from even securing one l basket
 Alderman, who not only played T l good shooting game, played also q star 1 blocking game lt was very seldom, that his man got many goals. In fact he always got ahead Of his man and would mako many pretty shots He was used many times as forward, and made very creditable showing. He played against the toughest men on the | opposing teams and never played any thing but straight basketball.
 1 Frazer was another star guard Ur was unableto play in many games also as received an Injury in ono of tho l early games. How ever, when he did play 4 always could be noticed, for his 1 phenomenal shots always told. Con molly. another guard, also played n very fast game, No matter how big his op. 1 ponent was, Connolly was always or deck and played his game Gerau. whr was substitunte forward, was gIver l little chance in many games.
 Many of these players could easily 1 make an all-state interscholastlc atin. tet If there was to he one chosen.
