E Good evening, folks! This is your sportscaster, Andy Teter, bringing you the latest thrills and chills of the sports world. The program tonight is to celebrate the first appearance of the Gibson Trophy in the Cathedral High School showcase. First, let me tell you about OUR COACH Tom Kornhaus, well-known Wichita athlete, took over the coaching position at Cathedral this year and immediately became' the Coach of the Year. Mr. Kornhaus had six lettermen returning, only one of them a starter the previous year. He applied a system which included possession of the ball, excellent passing, and fast breaking. Coach Kornhaus turned this team into one of Cathedralls best and won high praise for his coaching ability. The 1944-45 basketball season was one of Ca- thedral's most successful. The Shamrocks began the season with two juniors and three seniors on the starting team. Although the team lacked height, it possessed speed and excellent passing. The Shamrocks went through the Hrst eleven games undefeated before bowing to the powerful Anthony Pirates. Included in those seventeen wins were the City BROADCASTING ovER STATION il . Series games. Cathedral defeated North and East each twice, thus winning its first City Champion- ship. The schedule was one of the -toughest in history. The team defeated ten Class AA teams and won six games by a two-point margin, which proved its ability to play under pressure. Cathedral won the Class A Regionals at New- ton and was a heavy favorite to take the State Championship. However, due to illness of one of the leading basketeers, the Shamrocks lost to Eureka in two overtime periods in the semi-finals. To complete a successful athletic year, an as- sembly was held in Cathedral High School audi- torium. Rt. Rev. Monsignor Farrell presented Mr. john Gibson, donor of the Gibson Trophy, who gave a stirring talk on athletics and gave the his- tory of the trophy. Each of the lettermen received an 18-carat gold basketball souvenir. TWENTY-NINE
