  The 1952-1953 basketball team showed a marked improvement over last year's squad by winning fifteen out of twenty-two games. The outstanding feature of the season was Pottsville's victory over Allentown, which was the only league defeat suffered by the "Canaries".

   The team led the East Penn League in scoring, and Jack Houser finished in second position in individual scoring.

   Five seniors were members of this fine team, namely, Jack Hauser, Bill Keeny, Emerson Carter, Henry Ludwig, and Mike Bender. The Crimson Tide scored 1481 points in the season and their opponents scored 1255 points for the season.
