The Burrit. A. G. basketball team
( this year and is recognized as the
| outstanding quintet in the amateur
ranks o. the state. The remarkable
I record OF the team for the year con-
, sists Of 81 victories and four de-
! feats in It's 81 starts.
| With this proportion OF wins. the
! Burritts. in existence only two years.
has record of u victories and
eight defeats for the two years Of
the teams life. Last season the
team won - an! lost four games.
! The season ended with an unbrok-
en- run Of IL straight games and
the team members expect to con-
tinue this work next year.
Unusual though 1t might seem.
the team carried out its work this
year without having an elected cap
tain. Each member of the quintet
acted as its captain at some time or
other during the year.
The forwards were the leading
scorers for the most part but near
the close of the season "Hammy'
barrow, one Of the guards, became
a big factor In the scoring lists.
'MenIou" Zalcski was the ace of
the team. lie led his team to victory
On many occasions, his work always
being Of high caliber. The work of
his running mate "Ar 'Havlick was
also a big factor in the wins Of the
Burritts. Andy Yacobowicz. another
forward, was also dependable shot
who blossomed Out as great
leader.
One OF the most important cogs
In the Burritt machine was Joe
Luty in the center position. Joe sell
dom missed sending the ball into his
mates hands at the tap from cen |
ter and his consistent work was one !
OF the praise worthy factors in the ,
success Of the team. Whitman. sub .
center was a sure bet whenever he .
entered the game.
''Hsmmy' barrow slowly develop /
ed as the season progressed into one .
OF the leading guards in the state.
In the latter part of the season, his ,
work was treat to watch. Gen /
nette, his partner in the backcourt, |
was tower Of strength on the de-
tense and offense. E. Zaleski, alter
mating guard proved a stumbling
block TO all opposing forwards. !
Two Point" Adams (Abramowicz) !
continually got his quota OF points
N the games he played. He broke
his record during the past season
by scoring seven points in one game.
The Burritts amassed a total OF
1856 points in 81 games to 40 for
their opponents. They averaged 40
points a game to % for the oppo-
sition.
N. Zalcsli with 1o1 field goals
and Ga fouls for a total of 266
points lead the team in scoring.
ZAP Havlick with 2o4 points was
second and Yacobowicz was third
with 155.
