Subject: Basketball after two league games Author: joiseyfan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:39:45 01/10/26 Sat Women: Princeton, Brown and Cornell(!) at 2-0, Red with two road wins, Columbia and Harvard each with a home loss. Men: Princeton and Dartmouth at 2-0, everybody else with a loss, Yale pummeled today at Jadwin as Tigers scored 54 in the second half. Seems to be shaping up as a year with many surprises on both sides. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

While a blow out win in the end, Y women looked clearly better with more good players than the last time I saw them 2 years ago. They were a bad team then. Y started 6’1” and 6’5” transfers and had bigs coming off the bench. P quicker in more matchups and overall more skilled. But the size differential favored Y in more ways than show up in the stats. I hope we are getting some height in the incoming class. Parella returned in a leg brace snd got some rusty minutes. A lot of fun after the Women’s game ended to sit in Payne Whitney to watch us close out the Y men’s team. A lot of high school memories in that gym from days long ago when New Haven schoolboy basketball merited national recognition and the biggest state rivalry was played there. And the nationally ranked #1 Boys High escaped from there with a 1 point win over Hillhouse.

Author: Bengal [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:33:54 01/10/26 Sat In one game at said Yale gym, the Hillhouse coach, Tony Vitolo (successor to the legendary Sam Bender) put 2 guys on him. Wilbur Cross HS HC Salisbury (successor to another legend, Sal “Red” Verderame), had Super John cross half court and stay just over it in the corner while his teammates played 4 on 3 basketball. As soon as one of his two defenders left him to join the three defenders, Super John would join his 4 teammates. The year we lost to Boys High by a point we wound up ranked 6th in the country. Sadly, both Super John and my classmate, the Hillhouse star, William Charles “Charley” Farley, died too young. In the latter case, a 1979 death from heart failure resulting from an asthma attack. Terrible. I still remember the headline I read in disbelief. Still in NH, I attended the funeral service. Sad. Saw the boys one last time. Thanks Valmas. Be well. P.S. Super John soon teamed up with P’s Brian Taylor on the NY Nets, with Billy Paultx in the middle, and Dr. K and Dr. J at forward.
