Whenever anyone thinks about
basketball and what it was at
Emerson Prep during the season
OF 1882, a hopeless sigh Is
given.
Because basketball at the P
Street institution was not what
1t should have been last year.
But all will be different during
the campaign scheduled to start
soon, according to Coach Harley
Page Sanborn, who sees visions OF
another Of those seasons that
used to be when Emerson had
teams that were teams.
Two men who we're with the P
Dtreeters in 1881 are back at
school to give Coach Sanborn a
good start. They are 'Punky"
Whalen and Ken Wood, both for.
wards. This pair are really ex-
pected to shine this year because
OF their greater capabilities and
greater experience to play this
year over last.
Wilson On Hand
Then Sanborn has a collection
Of promising performers practic-
ing daily under his wing. Fea.
tured is Artie Wilson, who was
ute star in his Tech High days.
Others are Mike Scanlon, a trans
fer from st. Johns Prep; the
two Brown boys, O. and w.
Brown; Bentley, a six foot four
center, hailing from a crack high
school out in California, and a
youngster by the name of Cor.
din, from Dublin, Va.
"On the whole, basketball
promises to be stronger and
better this year than since the
days Of 1927 and 1928, when
Emerson knew such tOpnOtch
teams" Coach SanbOrn claimed
today. "At any rate, / think our
season will be better than last"
Sanborn must expect some.
