The epistle In full follows;
The st Luke's school basketball
team recently completed q highly
successful season, winning 16 of the
II games played.
The sole game lost during the
season was to the Harrison, n. Y,
high school team by a two point
ma Sin, dHu tiiio oSASab was
avenged by an 1S-point victory la
ter in the season.
The 17-game schedule was the
most difficult one yet attempted by
the New Canaan school, embrace
ing games with many of the lead
ing private and public high schools
In Connecticut and New York.
In the preparatory school ranks,
noteworthy victories were scored
over King, University school, Hop
kins. and Kingswood, while listed
among the high schools was Fair
field, Harrison (N.Y), Scarsdale
IN. ", and. New Canaan.
The personnel of the team con-
tanned no star players. practically
all the games being won through
the medium of excellent team
play rather than individual bril-
liancy. Horvat and 10th. the for
wards scored 1876 and 1871 points
respectively while the pivot man,
Welderrecht scored 80 points with
Spiers and Ardell the guards fol-
lowing closely with SO and 81
points. The relief players, Her.
Zog, Novak, Hemenway, Binkerd.
and Kellogg. proved their worth
whenever called upon and proved
the truth of the adage that a team
Is as strong as its reserve strength.
