Varsity Basketball The 1951-52 season was one of the most disastrious in Mount history, especially when compared with the pre- vious year’s Mason-Dixon Conference championship team. But if “it is not who won or lost that counts, but how they played the game,” and certainly it is, then the fact cannot be contested that this team was a credit to the institution. There were several underlying factors which helped con- tribute to the poor record. Our new coach, Bill Clarke, faced a new environment, one depleted by graduation. The lack of height was most noticeable. To top it off, four of the top players, Rose, Ryan, Rochford, and Den- man were lost at semesters. The slack was taken up by newcomers Frank Swaine, Joe Warner, Jack Sherman, and Bob Ferry steadied by veteran co-captains Ted Kachnow- ski, who tied Les Cosgrove’s 29-point record for a Mount player at Memorial Gym, and Jim McKeon, outstanding as a playmaker. Yet time and again, the Mountaineers were deprived of victories because, try as they may, they were unable to overcome their handicaps. No champion- ship team, no better team, no other team ever displayed . . . ae : oil more courage and will to win than this year’s Mount ; ae McKeon’s shot attempt was blocked by American U. basketball team. 3 wet Sherman goes up for a shot against Washington College. 123

J.V. Basketball The junior Mountaineers followed the varsity in having a not too impressive season as far as wins and losses were concerned. However, this year’s squad showed an unusual spirit and fight. The team was composed of six sophs and six freshmen. The starting lineup provided plenty of height, good ball handlers and playmakers. John Pollack, 6’ 5”, manned the center post and was flanked by forwards Pete O’Hagen, 6’ 3”, and John Fagan, 6’ 2”, while at the guard posts were Tom Mullaney and either Kenny Leonard or Dave Con- nelly. Szerbicki, McCreary, Giordan, Gordan and Gable gave the team a well balanced bench, any of whom could be thrown into the game when needed. Ready to go: J. Giordano, T. Mullaney, P. O'Hagan, J. Fagan, J. Pollock, RESULTS J. Linhard, manager.
