A new chapter In Roosevelt High
School athletic history is in the
process OF being recorded by two
powerful basketball teams. the var
sity and the reserves.
While the Rough Rider first
stringers were blueprinting a tidy
1922 victory over Romulus Friday,
the reserves were running up an
immense 46-S score over their oppo-
nents in a doubleheader at the Mich
igan Normal gymnasium Both Roos-
evelt teams are undefeated in five
starts this winter.
The reserve game rather than the
varsity contest turned out TO be
the feature attraction. The machine
like precision of the second team
indicated that Coach Arthur Walker
need have no fears over the grad
uation OF seven members of his
present varsity quintet in June.
This is without a doubt the best
reserve team the school has ever
had" Walker conceded Friday. At
least four players. Ken Richardson
J. L. Gabsard. Bob Norman and
Lamar Miller are almost sure Of
a varsity berth next season.
Walker tried 10 hold down the

OF its win.
