Mount machine beginning to mesh. They were iron- ing out kinks, gaining much needed experience, and, driven on by as awesome a spirited following as one could find, they started to gain momentum. Even after the loss of such a vital performer as Charlie O’Donnell, the Mount still continued on the improvement trail. Sparked by the SS men, Sal, Sully, Swaine, Stan, Smitty, the steamroller hit the heights with a 111 to 77 crushing of B.U. From then on it was down hill at a reckless pace which culminated in a head- long dash right through B.U., Roanoke, and Loy- ola, to bring the Mason-Dixon trophy home for the first time in ten years. This is how it was done: MOUNT 59 VILLANOVA 74 The E’Burgers began the swing east against the mighty Wildcats of Philly... . Half time showed that the migrating Mountaineers were really eager. . . score—39-35. . . . Sparked by the brilliant Bob Schafer, the Mainliners turned the tide early in the third quarter, to win going away... . MOUNT 63 SAINT PETERS: 70 The second link in the chain proved a bigger heartbreak than the first. . . . Angelo and Bals were responsible for a Mount upsurge in the third period. . . . The Peacocks were not to be denied, however, and in the final stanza they melted the 4 point Mount lead to win by 7... . MOUNT 54 SAINT FRANCIS 74 What the Brooklynites did to us shouldn’t have been wished on the Yankees. . . . A third mark in the debit column was the result of this merciless defeat. . . . Sullivan’s 17 was the only bright spot for this northern-most encounter. . . . MOUNT 83 GEORGETOWN 93 The Hoyas most graciously added to our streak. . .- Our Mutt and Jeff combination were good for 48 points between them... but our defenders were quite defenseless and the result was a fast break which broke our back. MOUNT 63 GETTYSBURG 78 The Bullets supplied the final shot. . . . Our relations ended but our streak continued. . . . The ledger showed 5 losses. . . . It could have been the gateway to a disastrous season. . . . : MOUNT 79 GALLAUDET 45 Home at last. . . . Really seemed good. . . . The streak was broken and the famine was ended. . . . We won!

CAPTAIN MAZOUREIX a steadying influence VARSITY BASKETBALL MASON DIXON TOURNEY CHAMPS The Mountaineer 1953-54 Basketball campaign, a season that was to be marked by ups and downs, joys and sorrows, heartbreak and victory, began most inauspiciously with a loss to Villanova on the night of December 2. Within the next seven nights the Mount had gone down to defeat four more times, at the hands of such northeastern bas- ketball powers as Saint Peter’s of Jersey City and Saint Francis of Brooklyn. When the eleven game mark was reached the Blue and White were the pos- sessors of a none too impressive 3 and 8 record. At this point the worm turned and the team came into their own. They commenced to click as a unit and went on to post twelve wins in their next fifteen outings, finishing the season with seven victories in a row. As the schedule dwindled, one could see the First row, left to right: G. Niggemeyer, F. Smith, J. Mazoureix (captain), R. McNelis, E. Bals. Second row: G. Donohue, F. Swaine, J. Sullivan, S. Angelo, J. McGrath, J. Dunphy, W. Stanley. Extreme left: Coach Clarke. Missing: C. O’Donnell.

Our third consecutive display of power resulted in the Mount tying for the M.D. League with a 3 and 0 log.

This time we were ex- tremely generous ... missed 60% of our fouls. .. . MOUNT 75 HAMPDEN SYDNEY 82 Sully with 27 tried to slay the tigers, but their Slayden, with 32, proved to be the real killer... . The first Mount home loss proved a real disappoint- ment . . . perhaps the potential was no more than a fantasy; . 7 perhaps. ...’- MOUNT 78 WESTERN MARYLAND 55 The Terrors were two time losers—we had the shots and the fast break functioning to perfection. The inevitable end was a Mountaineer victory. . . - MOUNT 83 LOYOLA 68 This was the half way mark in the schedule. . . . A capacity house witnessed the first big win of the °53-'54 campaign. .. .
