Basketball In 1963, Bob Cousy took over the floundering B.C. basketball program with the intent of building a national power. Although he had one of the best guards in the country in John Austin, Cousv ' s initial year was ham- pered by an overall lack of height and depth. The result was a mediocre 10-11 season. But with more emphasis on recruiting plus the time needed to adjust to Cousy ' s race- horse style of basketball, Boston College soon became a national basketball power, being invited to five post- season tournaments in five years. In the 1969-70 season, the cycle returned. Cousy left to coach the Royals, leaving first year man Chuck Daly with the problems of Cousy ' s initial year. Although the Eagles possessed an outstanding guard in Jim O ' Brien and a solid nucleus in seniors Tom Veronneau and Pete Sol- lenne, the height and depth needed to win consistently were gone. Added to this problem was the early season loss of center Pete Schmidt and sharpshooter Bob Dukiet to illness and injury. As a result, the Eagles played in- consistent ball, the crowds dwindled to a die-hard core of courtside club members, and the team had its worst sea- son since 1963. 194

i vH lMf£ ■ ...-Jte. Cross-Country Relying only on junior and sophomore runners this year, cross country at Boston College enjoyed its finest season in history. Its record was five wins and three de- feats, including the first victory ever over Northeastern and the defeat of a strong Holy Cross squad led by NCAA third place-finisher Art Dulong. The distance runners also defeated local rivals B.U., Tufts, and M.I.T., while losing to U.Mass., and U. Conn., and Springfield. In the seven-team Greater Boston Championships, the Eagles placed third behind the perennial winner Harvard. Soph- omore Jim Zabel finished sixth in this meet, over the five mile Franklin Park course. The two most dependable run- ners besides Zabel were Dick Mahoney and Jack lies, who each recorded first place finishes during the season. Coaches Gus Gilligan and Bill McNeil look forward to even more improvement from this young squad, based on the core of these 3 runners plus the hopeful return of in- jured Vin Catano and Charley Diehe. 193
