handed down for the past seven years.

this year consists of ten hardworklng
boys who make up two teams, first
and second, one depending on the
other
At this time the whole school takes
the privilege to wish the team the
best of luck for the coming season.
OPENING GAME
The Pocomoke High basketeers
marked up their first victory OF the
current season in an opening game
with the local Texaco team. From the
time the initial whistle blew until the
final moments of the game, both
teams were staging a combat of fast
basketball. Being only a practice
game this contest didn't mean much
to either side, therefore it was just
a good stiff practice for both teams,
though it was a little rough.
The final score was Texaco 10, P.
H. S. 80.
The starting lineup was: Texaco-
