Pottsville High School up to this year, did not have a basketball team for a number of years. Although receiving a late start, the team nevertheless managed to play six games under the managership of Carl Wagner. Because of the late start of the season, the interest of the school and its supporters was not what it should have been. But one, out the six games played was won. A close and plucky fight, however, was put up in each of the other games, and considering the teams played against, such as Bethlehem High and Schuylkill Haven High- teams that have played all season and who are considered among the best in the state, the team put up a good game and are to be commended on their gameness against discouraging conditions.

   The lack of a capable coach seriously handicapped the team and this should be taken care by the beginning of next season. Martin, Beyerle, Walleisa, Williams, Christ, Carroll, McLaughlin and Brigham compose the personnel of the basketball squad. Martin, Walleisa and Beyerle, the forwards were fast men and hard to hold down, always to be counted on for a goal at the right moment. William and McLaughlin, at center, were good on the jump, and fast all-around players. Christ, Carroll and Brigham, in the guard department, held many more experienced players than themselves to a minimum number of baskets and were very good on getting the ball down the field.
