Four elimination rounds were held until only four finalists remained. These were: George McQuade, a junior, and Ron Suprenant, Allen Devitt and Ray O'Rourke, sophomores. The championship round was made up of four sections, each section containing l5 attempts. Ron Suprenant jumped off to an early lead, hitting for l4 of l5 shots. George McQuade whittled down his lead until only one free throw separated them. However, Suprenant's early lead proved to be the deciding factor as he finally emerged the champ. The final standings were: first, Suprenant, with 35 tallies, second, McQuade with 345 Devitt with 33 was thirdg and lastly O'Rourke with 29 shots. Ron Suprenant was awarded a beautiful trophy for his accomp- lishment and the other three boys each received medals.
