Gore places shot Coaches Lenfz and Tullai This year the varsity basketball under the coaching of Mr. Tullai and Mr. Lentz had a disappointing season as compared with those of past seasons. After winning their first four games against weak opposition, the team faltered and managed to win only five out of the remaining fifteen games. The spirit on the fioor was outstanding as most of the games against the better opposition of Division I were close, but the Crusaders were unable to get the winning goal when it was needed. This was the first year that the varsity had played in Division I and it was quite evident that the opposition was too much. The starting team for most of the season was Randy Walker at center, Jerry Schmidt and Roy Mayne at guards, Butch Darrell was at one of the forward posts, with either Pete Sheehan, Bob Gore and Ray Chism at the other forward position. These starters were ably backed up by guards Tink Gunnoe and Walt Toy, forwards Ross Parham, Jack Davies and Barney Millard and center Mac Goodwin. Randy Walker and Jerry Schmidt were the scoring leaders of the team with both averaging about 14 points per game. Walker and Butch Darrell were the leading rebounders as they pulled many loose balls off the boards to keep the Saints in contention for most of the games. This year's spirit award was given to Butch Darrell, while Roy Mayne received the foul shooting award. 79

V. basketball team had a disappointing season this .year with a five win-nine loss record. One of the outstanding features of Coach Mitchell's boys was the spirit and hustle with which they played. None of the games were lost by a great margin, the average difference in scores being four points. The losses can mostly be attributed to the fact that the foul-shooting average was only 3675. Betz was high scorer with eighty-five accumulated points. The J. V. started out with a bang by pushing over Edgewood and Bel Air, but they then lost four consecutive games to Forest Park, Gilman, McDonogh, and Mt. St. Joe. After these close losses, St. Paul's whipped Edgewood and won the second Gilman game. Losing again to Towson Catholic and Friends, Mitchell's boys overcame McDonogh on their return game. The season sadly closed with three defeats at the hands of Calvert Hall, Loyola, and Friends. 80
