Patti, what's the surname of the player your researching? Based on researching thru GenBank's Philadelphia Inquirer's. I'm guessing this team was the West Philadelphia High School second string or Reserves. Probably playing whoever they could schedule a event with. News Article, 4 January 1922, page 14, The Philadelphia Inquirer: SPEEDBOY CUBS PULL THROUGH: West Philadelphia High School Reserves also won the second team game, defeating West Catholic second team 24 to 21. The Speedboys forged to the front in this game also, due in part to the brilliant shooting of MCMAHON and KIPPLINGER and the all-around work of WALSH, HALPERN, and BURROUGHS. "We're talking basketball here now. It's January and they're doing brilliant shooting.

Hi, The surname is TAKAKJY that is listed. There are two brothers one born in 1902 and the other born in 1907. I would believe that it was one of them since they lived in that area and the last name is not common. I was just hoping to perhaps get more information on who it was and anything else that may have been printed. If it was a school I then would have tried to find out which school and try to see if this relative graduated and if so then possibly a year book picture. You know, you just want to get everything you can get your hands on. I don't know what to do from here out on this. Thanks everyone for your input and open to more suggestions.
