At this point in the season the basketball team began a losing streak which was to extend through seven games. Following a close defeat at the hands of Hume-Fogg, B.G.A. went into the M.T.l.T. Christmas tournament against Lewisburg. Committing numerous floor mistakes and getting whipped soundly on the boards, we succeeded in turning in the worst performance of the year to date. After a week and a half of tough practices the Blue and Gold went on its only road trip, to Memphis. This two- game stint proved disastrous as first Christian Brothers, then M.U.S. trounccd our team. CTO those who travelled the long way to Memphis, thanks.J M.B.A. came in Tuesday with a hot-shooting, well-dis- ciplined outfit. After holding on grimly for most of the game, the Cats were overwhelmed by the Big Red fast break and dropped a ten point decision. It was dehnitely the lowest point of the season, and it was at this point that the B.G.A. basketball team decided to turn things around and have a winning season. The comeback did not begin too auspiciously with consecutive defeats to Summertown 53-50 and Cohn 47-37. Understand however, B.G.A. got back in the win column in a resounding 68-56 victory over C.H.M.A. lt was our hrst real team effort since the early season. From this point the Wildcats took off on a ter- rific stretch run, which was to see seven of eight oppo- ncnts fall in defeat. Page 29
