18 • JNEW CASTLE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1951 Quakers Even Up Season at 8 and 8 By David Welsh The H.G.H.S. basketball season came to a close on March 2 when the Quakers were edged out by Briarcliff, 65-62. This left th5m in a tie with Bedford for the sec ond spot in the N.WI.L., showing iwe wins and three defeats (Ka- zonan lanaed on top). Greeleys overall season's record was 8 -0. As a Bedford rooter so aptly put it at the end Oi Greeley s second encounter with the Red and Black, \How can you guys win with JO little.\ That's how it's been all season. The Quakers juot uiun 0 nave une material that tt.aconan, i -^cuord or Briarchft had. Yet they won. And they won Uxi scrap, the determination to get to tne top in the Lea&u~, an,, tine coaching and training by Peter Dyer. Nearly all the League afiairs were close ones, and the Greeley- ite quintet came from behind in most of their wins. The Quakers' first loop tilt with Somers was a tight game which Horace Greeley finally pulled out of the fire, 52-51. Coach Dyer's men wal- lopped the Tuskers on their sec ond meeting, however, 53-47. Chappaqua came back to win both Bedford contests, 36-29 and 39-36, the latter being a spec tacular fight in which H. G. was behind 22-7 at the half. Greeley dropped two to Katonah, 60-4b and 61-53, fighting hard but un able to overcome the Indians' height advantage. The local five split with Briar cliff, taking them 6d-55 in an overtime engagement, and losing 65-62 in the final min ute. But the Quakers didn't fare so well in the non-League battles, beating only Tuckahoe and Brewster. Both Tuckahoe games were one-sided, and the Brew ster one was a one-point deci sion', 49-48. They lost twice to Croton and Mount Kisco and once to Irvington, and were de feated badly toy these teams. Coach LeRoy Spear's Junior Varsity finished in undisputed possession of second place, be hind Bedford, with six victories and two losses. They were lO-o on the season. Bedford was the Baby Quakers' chief stumbling block, Chappaqua tumbling tv.*je, 25-21 and 34-24, to the Red and White. Otherwise, Horace Gree ley had no trouble in soundly trouncing Somers and Briar cliff. The Greeleyites won their first meeting with Katonah in a close one, 33-31, but swamped the In dians in the later encounter, 3J- 18. The Record Revised Along with post-season basket ball notes comes an item of in terest to followers of the Quakers in football. The game with New Canaan, at the Connecticut squad's gridiron, which was lost, 21-13, was forfeited because New Canaan unknowingly had an over-age player on their team. The game was undoubtedly the poorest played by Horace Gree ley. This leaves Chappaqua with a 6-1 season's record, which equals that of the 1949 campaign. Prior to the announcement, Greeley cancelled the New Canaan game from its 1951 schedule. BOARD MEETING A meeting of the board of the Women's Guild of Temple Beth- El of Northern Westchester is scheduled for Monday, March 19, at 1 p.m. at the home of Mrs. George Levy of Millwood.
