Basketball
Last Friday night the FELTON,
Green Devils closed their 1855 bas-
ketbali season in a Whirlwind fin-
ish that gained for them their sixth
victory. The victim was Bridge
vile. The score was tied at the
end of each of the three quarters,
but the final quarter saw Coach
Kern's charges catch fire and out
score Bridgeville q to 9. The,
final score was 81 to 49.
Boys VARSITY Team
The 1855 FELTON, Club dropped 12
out Of the Is games, giving them a
percentage Of 1888. This is because
only Walter Moore remained from
last years high scoring varsity.
The record is very creditable to
both the players and the coach.
Great improvement in the playing
of Ralph Dill, Roy Dill, Art Henry,
Dorsey Hammond, and Sammy Rat
tray was obvious as the season
went along Captain Moore, one of
the top scorers in the state, won
new laurels, scoring 81 points in
his final game for FELTON,. Several
of the Green DEVILS losses were
by narrow margins of one to three
points, and a slight change in the
tide of battle could easily have Civ
en- the Green Devils a really fine
record. Moore and Henry are the
only players who will be lost by
graduation, and hopes are high for
a strong club next winter.
Junior Varsity
The Junior Varsity had a good
season winning five games and los
ing three. Outstanding contenders
for the varsity position next year
will be Billy Wood, Nelson Wyatt,
Frank Dill, Clarence Voshell, Bob
by Draper and Richard Steele.
Girls Varsity Team
The 1855 girls team under the
coaching Of Miss Taylor compiled
a total Of eleven wins and five
losses including two victories over
Caesar Rodney, their traditional
rival This is certainly one Of the
finest records every made by a
FELTON, Girls Club. Aggressive work
by guards Dorothy LOmicky, Elaine
Wagner, and Doris Greenly, plus
fast maneUvering and good shoot
ing by Phyllis Jones, Dianne Nc
Keithen and Leah Schanding were
responsible for the excellent show
ing made by the 1855 girls team.
Jones, Wagner, and Greenly will
be lost by graduation, but the 1856
squad will still have three veterans
and a half dozen promising candi-
dates for varsity hOnors.
