This season, as was the case in the last three or four seasons, Assumption's varsity basketball squad had a success- ful campaign winning fifteen of their twenty-five games. In Ontario-Quebec Conference play they compiled a record of eight wins and two losses, which was good enough to earn them second place in the Conference. The Lancers suffered two losses to the obviously superior quintet from the University of Detroit, but managed to hold their own against their other American ri- vals with whom they were better matched. Against the Canadian clubs they did very well indeed except in their two meetings with the Toronto Varsity Blues. The key man in this year's team was Jack Hool who provided the leadership which is always necessary to make a group of fine athletes into a well- organized and powerful team. He was a high scorer all through the season and played well on defense as well as doing a fine job of setting up plays. jack ended his college career with a brilliant night against Westerng he got over thirty points in that game. Rookie Gene Rizak also had a great year. He turned out to be a real high scorerg but his most memorable achievements were on defense. It was a very common sight to see Gene steal the ball and race down the court for a basket. Leapping Larry Francouer was a tower of strength all season and along with veteran Mike Spang did a lot of re- bounding even against the taller play- ers on opposition clubs. Mr. Spang was a very steady performer, and although he was not a high scorer he was a valuable man to have around. Neil McEwan played some very fine games in the latter half of the season after he recovered from a ailment which kept hi mout of action for several games. Although Dick Mackenzie and jerry Kotwas played some good games early in the season, they never did manage to regain their brilliant form of last season. All in all it was a good season and Assumption has reason to be very proud of this Lancer squad. Page Eighty sex en
