f - -fn ----iw - . . Zaked lain! Straight Caifwfic .feague Crown Under the line coaching of Mr. Harry Marmion, the junior Varsity Basketball team completed a very suc- cessful year, compiling an 18-3 record and winning the Catholic League Championship. The season started off in a most unconvincing manner, when the team could do not better than break even in the first six contests. From this point on, however, the junior Eagles were unable to lose the winning habit. Fifteen teams fell during this span, and included among the victories were those against St. J0hn's and Roosevelt, avenging earlier overtime defeats. The last two triumphs of the season turned out to be the most important. In these contests Gonzaga downed St. John's and John Carroll by identical scores, clinching the Catholic League title. The Freshman Basketball Team coached by Mr. Peter Lerario also had a successful season, even if it was not quite as impressive as the junior Varsity's. The Frosh compiled a fine 17-6 overall record, but only a mediocre 6-5 Catholic League record. Outstanding among the season's accomplishments was the squad's fine showing against older and more experi- enced teams in the Boy's Club Christmas tournament. In this tourney the Frosh won three games before losing by two points to Twin Oaks.
