JAY VEE he J.V. stood in neat rows in the center circle of the gym floor, having their picture taken for the yearbook. with them stood Brother Loughlan, their proud coach. His face reflected all the victories and defeats of the past season. It had been an even season for the Junior Blue Knights - six wins and six losses. , The season opener was played here with Open Door Community House and provided a wide-margined victory for our boys as they shot out a 39 to 23 victory. The second game, played at Columbus Junior High School, told pretty much the same story as the first wrangle, with our dead-eyes coming out on top - 38 to 3I. Thenext time out, however, our crew didn't fare as well as they had the first two times, and lost a close one to Columbus High's J.V., 43 to 35. This defeat was quickly forgotten nevertheless as thesquad top- bled Mother Mary Mission, 40 to 30. Thenext game was the first of three games our fighters were to play and lose byone point. The team was Holy Family ,andafter anip andtuck game all the way, the scoreboard glowed 49-48. Once again, though, our Junior Blue Knights came back after a defeat and this time edged out St. Peter Claver Mission - 4I to 35, Our crew was hotter than a firecracker when they played their fol- lowing game and it seemed as though they might start a winning streak as they dynamited Jordan, 58 to 42. The thoughts of a winning streak were short-lived however when our boys played their second one pointer of the season. This time it was Eugenio Pacelli High and the differ- ence was 35-34. Unfortunately, the one point loss trouble was not gone yet and the Knights gave up a tough one to the Columbus High Junior Varsity, 49 to 48. Despite these two losses, Brother Loughlan brought the gang back with flying colors the next time out, trampling Phenix city Recreation Center, 63 to 47. This was on a Saturday night. The fellowing Monday we fought it out with Central's J.V.. The wranglers wanted to do a repeat performance of the Saturday night duel, but this was not the case and we went down fighting to the tune of two points, 38 to 36. The final game of the season was played in a tournament held at Op- Door Community House. Things looked hopeful at the start, but the shots just wouldn't go in and the J.V. took a tough defeat for its last game of the season. All these games, whether easy victories, hard wins, ortough losses, were reflected in Brother Loughlan's expression and in the glances he was giving the members of the team around him. From these glances, one could easily surmise who the sparkplugs of the powerhouse were. There was Joe Shaffer who clicked from all over the floor every game with his tricky fade-away jump-shotg Mike Harvev the team's set artist, Jim Mellonig and Jim Wieghorst who had picked the boards clean consis- tently. There was the playmaking trio composed of Pat Quinn, Bgb Jack, line, and Carl Seeba. This menacing threesome helped pile upthe points with drives, outsiders, and jump-shots respectively. 'Everybody smile,' came a voice. 'Click' and that was the end of another season for the Junior Blue Knights

ate in November, the last Thurs- day morn, The students were merry, the Tigers forlorn. A few more hours and the game would begin: It seemed mighty sure that the Stu- dents would win. The rally was held on the previous night And the cheer rolled forth for the Cobras to fight. The floats were all finished, the signs were all madeg Everything was ready for the gala parade. For the past two days itdid nothing but rain. And itlooked like thework would all be in vain. But on the day of Thanksgiving the skies became clear, And the students then felt they had nothing to fear. As the fellows ate Breakfast in the long dining hall, A radio station broadcast thebrawl. 'The Cobras have a team that is full of power. And their spirit looks like a great ball of flre.' 'Look at the Tigers, you can tell at a glance These scared yellow cats haven't a ghost of a chance.' B t the Ti ers thought different, u 9 they weren't to be fooled: From their sleeves, Brother 'Ensley' they pulled. Willy Tambrello was this boy's real name, We called him 'Ensley' for the town of his fame. This guy could pitch, if you know h t I 9 nl :eawas omnea of the fastest that H.T. had seen. TURKEY BOWL So after breakfast, when the duties were done, They formed the parade to start off the fun. In front marched a group with signs galore, Behind them came theteam that would fight their little 'war'. Then came the rest with floats one and two: The first with a tiger in a big pot of stew. The second had a Cobra round the ti- ger's back, So WhM1h8 moved,the Cobra gave him a smack. So down to the field the parade did go. The students were ready to meet their foe. The field was raked and lined for the game, And it wasn't long till the faculty came. Their tails wagged -they wore their striped caps, And they cavorted around likea band of alley cats. When thestudents were finished with their warm-up'drills, The Tigers took the field for some pre-game spills. Brother Loughlan playing third, fell flat on his face, Then Father Norbert dropped theball out on second base. Father Vincent was onfirst with his broad tiger smile, Father Shaun stood onshort with his own crying towel. Father Brendan was incenter, Father Columban in right: Playing left was Father Killian packed full of fight. Father Terrence in short field with a look full of woe,
