tennis singles tournament, but because of the in- clement weather, the finals were postponed until the spring. The winter schedule consisted of a basketball and table tennis tournament.

In second place with a 6-2 record was the Firehouse Five Plus Two. Other teams in the division were the Metaphysical Mani- acs, the Scoreless Five and the B.S. I Freshmen. Epple’s Hardware was heading Division II with a 7-1 mark. Numbered among their outstanding cagers were George Franz, Bo Kirby, Bill Phillips, and Carl (The Barrel) Epple. Following them were the Little Egyptians, the Frustrated Five, Demos- thenes Dribblers and the Kaprylic Kids.

With the close of the basketball season, a table tennis tournament was scheduled to round out the winter program. For the spring, activity was scheduled in the soft- ball league and a horseshoe tournament had been proposed. Intramural Play Surged Ahead Loyola’s annual intramural program began in early October.

Loyola’s ”B” Squad In Action Not coining into their own until rnid-season, Loyola ' s “B” sijuad cagers sported a 6 won and 6 lost record as we went to press, and oddly enough played one lie ball game during the season. The Junior arsity cagers had good prospects of winning their two remaining games. Led by the likes of such olfensive stalwarts as Dan Wheatley, John Benzing and Joe Nelson, the “little Greyhounds” won five of their last seven tilts to pos.sess a .500 record with one week remaining in the season as of this writing. Benzing and Wheat- ley did not join the team until halfway through the campaign which accounts for the quintet’s slow start. Red Shield Boys’ Club was the “B” Squad’s first opponent, and Loyola look them into camp by a 56-J9 score. They then lost contests to George- town J.Y., Baltimore U. J.V., and Loyo’a High School. Next was a 51-51 lie with the Mt. St. Mary’s “B” squad, no decision being reached because of the lateness of the hour. It was at this juncture that the “B” squad finally started to roll, when, after losing to Calvert Hall by a 36-33 score, they trounced the Baltimore Junior College 82-62, lost to the Navy Plebes and then beat the Hopkins Frosh and Western Maryland J.V They were momentarily stalled by the loss of a 65-56 overtime thriller to the Maryland Freshmen, but then immediately stepped up the tempo by downing the Hopkins Frosh for the second time, 61-55. In this encounter John Benzing turned in his top olfensive effort of the year tallying 25 points. Then the “junior Hounds” copped their sixth win of the season by beating Mt. St. Mary’s “B” team 54-51 as Dan Wheatley chipped in with 14 points for the night’s top output.

Vi’RESTLING TEAM POSES before going into action against Hopkins. For the first time ever, the Hounds defeated the Blue Jays. Grapplers Second in M-D Tonrney Meet This year’s wrestling team was one of the bright spots on the Greyhound sports calendar. Coached by Bish Baker, the Green inatrnen won 4 and lost a like number. In the annual tourney Loyola placed second behind Baltimore U., a team coached by ex- Loyolan Phil Lohrey. Jack Cyphers captured the 157 pound M-D crown for the second year in tour- nament competition. The Hounds throughout the season were led by Captain Ted llaupt, 157 lb. champion Jack Cyphers and Mike Ford, a scrappy flyweight.
