VARSITY BASKETBALL he Blue Knights of Holy Trinity were well-armed for the basketball season this year with height, speed and a determination to win.Re- turning to the hardwood with four veteran starters and experienced an bench: this Knights coached by Father Shaun were expected to havea banner season. This expectation was quickly realized as the Blue Knights cut down the Open Door Community Center by a 78 to 45 score. Theoverpowering drive-in shots by Will Booth and the deadly outside shooting of Dick Ohrt and Maury Flood brought the visitors from Columbus to their knees by halftime. The consistent rebounding, rebounding of Booth together John Kiernan and with Art LaChapelle enabled the Holy Trinity five to :Ury the Community Center under a barrage of shots for theirfirst vic- ,ory. A week later the Blue Knights added their second victim to the list as Columbus Junior College fell under the lance to the tune of 64 to 33. Rebounding was again the big factor in this victory as Will Booth hauled down 27 along with Harry Evans's ll. The Knights kept the Col- umbus team off balance with the torrid outside shots of Ohrt and the crushing hook shots of Booth from underneath. Cn their first visit to a foreign court, the Blue Knights hung up their third consecutive triumph bystopping Columbus High 54 to 45. Ob- viously disturbed by Maury Flood's pregame injury, the Knights could only manage eight points in the first quarter. Led by the classy guard combination of Ed Murphy and Dick Ohrt: the Knights turned to their favorite weapon -the fast break. The swift moving Kflights Slowly pulled away during the next two quarters and then withstood a last quarter surge by Columbus to take the game. Thefourth game against the Fort Benning All-Stars brought theKnight winning skein to ahalt. For the first time Will Booth found difficulty in grabbing off rebounds. The victory for the all Stars was decidedly due totheir height advantage. After giving it all they had the Khi9htS succumbed by a 65 to 39 score. Theonce fallen Knights tooktheir wrath out with interest on ahapless Saint Patrick's squad. Mike Keown and John Kiernan shared rebounding honors with twelve apiece. Keown also threw in I4 points along with Ohrt to lead in the scoring column. Every member of the squad saw ac- tion as the Knights crushed the opposition 74 to 3I. In the next encounter a 27 point barrage by Booth along with 24 by Ohrt and a sizzingling 46.72 average failed to totter atallandtalented East Wynnton team. Although the Knights fell 73 to 69. it was by far their best game of the season. The Freshman team of Auburn was the Knights' nextopponent and the dazed Knights went down indefeat 70 to 36. Far outclassed in the first half, the Knights showed some signs of life inthe second half and were able to keep the Tigers from running up the score any higher. Hungry forvictory, the Knights took on Columbus Junior College for a second time. This game proved to be a tasty morsel. With Evans and Ohrt leading the way with 23 and 22 points respectively the Knights charged to a 74 to 59 triumph. Evans playing his best game of the sea- son also took charge of the backboards, hauling down I5. Maury Flood turned in a brilliant defensive game with his sparkling interceptions.
