Rockets Defeat Proud Tech in Sectional Avenging the two-point defeat of last year ' s Sectional, the Rockets defeated mighty Tech, 51 to 49, in their first round of Sectional play in a game that was beautifully played from the beginning to the very last second. The final season record of the basket- ball team was 11 victories against 9 de- feats coming from a regular season of 10 and 8 and a Sectional reading of 1 and 1. The Rocket brigade started the season with an impressive win over Lawrence Central, 57 to 39, then fell before a pre- cision Sacred Heart unit, 54 to 42. De- catur and Cathedral fell before the Ripple five, 46-34 and 54-48, respectively. Howe and Crispus Attucks then took high scoring encounters, 53-67 and 50-76. Four more teams, including north side rival Shortridge, fell before the Bairdmen tasted defeat at the hands of Howe ' s Hornets, 41-47. The Orange and Black defeated Greenfield, 67-46, in the last home stand of the season. The Rockets took it on the chin in four of the last six encounters, all away from home. The Sectional then brought its sweet revenge in the defeat of the Green Wave before the Rockets were subdued by a rejuvenated Irish squad.
