oplwmored, grealunen alcquire xperience on . . With a record of no wins and six defeats, it would seem that the Junior Varsity Football squad suffered a dismal season. This wasn't entirely true however, for in Mr, Joseph Madden, Qlefq addition to personal benefits, the team members ac- J'V- Coach quired needed experience, which will be of great value in the future. More than anything else, it was a lack of experience which caused their rather poor season. Not one member Mr. Rifhard 521353, CbCl0WJ of the team had played V. ball previously. As a re- sult, the team started from scratch, and considering the circumstances, progressed considerably. J.V. Coach Coaching duties were divided between Mr. Joseph Madden and Mr. Richard Szlasa, two Maryland Univer- sity students who did a fine job in their first year at Gonzaga. Practice began early in September, and the coaches kept their proteges extremely busy for the next three months. Every season has some highlights which the team can look back upon. In individual performance, the running of Freshman Dick Calgaro stood out for the Junior Eagles. Perhaps the team's greatest thrill came in the St. John's game. Herb Baker slashed off tackle and galloped 55 yards for a score, the only T.D. of the season. Gonzaga cheerleaders who direct cheers at athletic contests are: D. Molumbi, J. Browne, J. Ward, E. Kemperg Second Row: R. Macfarlane, J. Bartos, F. Breen, M. Risacher. 0 ..... t it Qian-Q-vs H4 i

L , The dividing line between mediocrity and success in basketball is a thin one. In the pro game, the difference between the last and first place clubs olten is just two or three really good players. In college basketball, where the players are usually ol equal caliber, the coaching staff plays a major role in determining a team's success. And in high school basketball, the key to victory is one big man, continual hustle and that undefinable thing called team spirit. The story ol this year's Eagle basketball team embraces these two levels of achievement, mediocrity and success. Rarely does a high school team bounce back from such a dismal beginning to such a resounding finish. Even more surprising than the Eagle's reversal is the fact that the turning point of the season can be pinpointed to one quarter of one game. The one quarter was the fourth, the game was the second DeMatha contest. Before any further narration, however, it is necessary to give a resume of the season's progress up to this point. Gonzaga won its first game 74-41 over Calvert Hall. This was one of five victories over chronically weak Baltimore schools. The next game was against Blair, regarded by some at the end of the season to be the number one team in the city. The Eagles led for three
