The biggest upset of the tournament came on Sunday, Feb. 14, as KopitanoH defeated LvuMte 45-37 in a hard fought con- test.

The next game saw Van Kampon shade Paley 53-52 on a jump shot by T. PfoH with 8 seconds left. N. Paley hit for 25 in the losing cause, while PfoH was high with 17 for the victors. The first game saw Pevfcins throwing up a stingy defense to limit Carney to long shots from the outside. The winners pulled away after the half and were never challenged. Perkin» scored 23 points. There was no defense when Van Kampen demolished Kap- itonoH. Scoring at a rapid dip. Von Kompen built up a com- manding 21-3 lead at the first stop, and applying pressure constantly, eased into the finals. L. Goodrich hit 27 in the win. Thursday night’s championship game was even for the first quarter. Then Van Kampen ran Perkin» off the court, personally escorting them by scoring 7 ooosecutive points. The turning point came when both teams were awarded the bonus situation. Here Von Kampen'» team repeatedly converted while Perkin could not. After J.

Van Kampen F. Linde L. Goodrich T. Pfaff 20 pts. 15 pts. 13 pts. 9 pts.

Marino 14.3 Nick Paley BCHS took a long trip for nought by ending the cage season against St. Joseph of Kenosha in tourney play. After dropping our Saders 62-53 St. Joseph herself was eliminated by Racine St. Catherine. Setting a typically slow pace, BCHS failed to take advantage of golden oppor- tunities. Passing up good shots, missing picks, drives, and fouling early hurt the Saders. Despite these in- consistencies BCH managed to procure a 13 point lead midway through the second quarter - a lead which was promptly washed out by nine straight turnovers. The second half showed St Joseph taking advantage of poor defense and with a “touch of luck’’ on some fantastic shots they increased their lead to 10 at the final buzzer. Larry Scott had one of his most lucrative nights canning more than 20 points. He was backed by John Winger’s 15 from the outside. The 1964-65 basketball season was one of the poorest vm g mm THE FIRST PLACE INTRAMURAL TEAM of BCHS is headed by Peter Van Kampen (F, 1). The team includes, Frank Linde, Larry Goodrich, Tom Pfaff, (bottom row) Jack Hamill, Angelo Anastasi, Pat McKeam and Mike Greene. in years for Catholic High. Finishing conference play third from the bottom with a record of 4-10 and defeating only Turner and South Beloit, Beloit Catholic rated only one honorable mention in the All-Conference standings - one that went to senior guard Don Smiley. Nonconference play only added to Sader High miseries by contributing 5 more losses, 2 to arch foe Edgewood, and one each to Clinton, Honon egah (Durand Christmas Tourney) and St. Joseph’s. Dispite all the gloom shrouding the “late” hardwood season, a few bright spots managed to break through. Seniors Mike Mowers and Don Smiley ranked among the hig£i scorers for the SHARK Con- ference. Don Smiley rated All- Conference honorable mention and John Winger showed Coach Melvin what to look for next year with his deadly outside shooting. Many will be the memories of our games, for even in losing much is learned, both by players and spectators and many exciting moments are shared. Congratulations go to Mike Mowers, who was elected most valuable player and to Don Smiley and -Lorry Scott, who were chosen co-captains of the Catholic High Basketball team. The ARISTA sports staff sincerely urges the student body to get out and back our spring sports teams. With track, baseball, tennis, and golf there should be something to interest any sports minded student. Peter Piazza

P«R 6 March, 1965 Varsity “Bombs” All-Stars Intromural All Stars chal- lenged the Beloit Catholic High Varsity on Thursday evening, March 4 and were soundly beaten by the score of 85-62. At the outset, the All Stars jumped to a 4-0 lead. However, sharp-shooting Don Smiley, Larry Scott, and Mika Mowers closed the gap and then spurted to a 27-9 score at the end of the first quarter. Although the front line of the Varsity con- trolled the boards, they became too aggressive and were re- peatedly called for offensive violations. The second quarter saw the Varsity race to a 38-18 lead, scoring almost at will. With Tim Lowria and Pat Monahan swishing in some long bombs, the Stars rallied to cut the deficit to 47-29 at the half. The Varsity exploded at the start of the third quarter to bury the All Stars with a 12 point outburst. With the score at 59-29, Mika Mowors picked up his fifth personal. This lack of height in rebounding seemed to stun the Varsity, as it was then the Stars turn to retaliate. Fast-breaking, they outscored their opponents, 17-2. Nick Poloy had 11 consecutive points during this stanza. Thereafter, the Varsity righted themselves and matched every basket by the Stars by two. In the last quarter, with Don Smiloy driving the lane, cleared by Poto Piazza's picks, plus Scott's and Tom 0’Donohue's side shots, the Varsity pulled away to lead 80-50. Here, Smiley fouled out, and the Varsity was left with “four on the floor. Immediately the All Stars responded. Peter Van K am pen and David Luebke picked off missed shots and stuffed them back in, Luebke being especial- ly effective under the Stars' offensive boards, and the Varsity’s lead dwindled. With one minute left, however, it was 81-62 Varsity. Two long shots by O’Donahue and Scott, the latter’s at the buzzer, ended the game at 85-62. Larry Scott scored the nets for 30 points, to lead all scorers, while teammate Don Smiloy had 17. The Stars were led by Nick Paley and David Luobko with 15 and 12. Nick Paley MIKE MOWERS goes up for two more in the win over Turner High School.

Ideas at olp George BRosVevr J. B. GEORGE Freshmen dose With 17-3 Record It was tho ond to an almost perfect season. A win of 77-58 over Janesville St. Mary’s was the final crown. In that gaaae Coach Barnabo was able to use all 17 of his play- The boys from St. Mary’s made a valiant effort to over- come the lead set by the Crasader frosh, but it was too late. Three boys hit double figpres for the victors • Lee Scott, Jim Cousin, and Dick Johnson with 20, 15 and 10 points. In their Feb. 9 game at Orfordville the Crusader frosh got off to a slow start, but they recovered sufficiently by the second quarter to walk off with a 46-37 win. Perhaps it was that short two-minute talk by Coach Barnabo between quarters that did it. High scoring honors for the winners went to Lee Scott, Tim Ghor- rity and Kemil Basmagy with 16. 9, and 8 points respectively. On Feb. 6 the Crusader frosh lost their third game of the season, this time by a margin of 64-31. The boys from Beloit were outscored in every garter, but their good sports- manship went to work and they took the loss in stride. High scorer in the game was J. Phillips with 21 points. Against Brodhoad on Feb. 1 it was again the Crusader frosh on top 47-30. High scor- ers in the game were Loo Scott and Dick Johnson with 16 and 11 points. And likewise against Janesville on Jan. 28, it was the BCH frosh on top 63-34. In the words of Coach Bar- nabo at the beginning of the season, “It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but I know yon guys can do it. And that’s just what they did, winning 17 out of 3 of their games and taking third place in the Guilford-Boy lan tourna- ment. High scoring honors for the season went to Jim Cousin, who damped in 186 points. The other five top scorers were Lae Scott with 177 points, Dick Johnson with 169 points, Komil Basmagy with 132 Tim Gharrity with 113 points, and Jim Zaher with 77 points. Peter St. Peter

In a kickoff assembly Feb. 23, Mr. George Lepak, Home and School chairman, and Art Kapitanoff, Student Council president, outlined the fund-raising program. Besides soliciting stamps from their homes and other rela- tives, they noted, students could contribute cash. They urged students to make the drive an occasion for personal lenten sacrifice by contributing a share of their earnings or pocket money each week. Each class is also permitted to hold one bake sale to boost its funds. Classes are competing against each other in order to achieve the first prize, a half-day trip to the Wagon Wheel where the winners will have a choice of ice skating or swimming. Second prize will be free admission to a pa rent-student dance in May. The administration also promises a half-day free from school to everyone if the $3,000 mark is surpassed. The competition is being run on a percentage basis. To be eligible for a prize, however, a class must meet a quota equiva- lent to $3 per student. Thus the freshmen will have to donate $400 or its equivalent in stamps. The sophomores will need $340 worth of stamps or money. The juniors will have to scratch up $300, while the seniors must add $350 to the total. The drive officially started March 1, and will continue until the end of Lent. Each Friday Mrs. Charles Petit and Mrs. Eugene Hudson total and tally class contributions.

Peter Obligato Hove you noticed how diligently the seniors are studying religion this semester? Could it be the marriage course or are they really worried about grades?
