Long Island University furnished the next opposition for Seton Hall. The locals had things pretty well under control in the first half. Long Island rallied in the second half but failed in the closing minutes of play. Final score: Long Island U. 30 — Seton Hall 38. On January 25 the Setonians traveled to the coal regions to meet the representa- tives of St. Thomas College. What a night for the Setonians. They had the distinc- tion of handing the Tommies” the second defeat ever suffered on their home court. It was a fast close game, but the Setonians won 37 to 36. Again Shorty” was the outstanding star. The playing of Babiak, Madigan, Blair, and Skeuse was very credit- able. Shorty” scored 17 points. Seton Hall s fourth defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of the Man- hattan College quintet. The Villagers” staged a great battle but weakened at the end. The final score was Manhattan 36 — Seton Hall 21. Zdanewicz and Babiak starred. After the Manhattan game the Setonians went to Jersey City for a return en- counter with the Petreans. This game proved more disastrous for the home team than the first. The final score read St. Peter’s 16 — Seton Hall 27. Captain Zdanewicz was leading scorer for the evening. He tallied 12 points. The final game of the season was a return game with Long Island U. at Brooklyn. In this game Lou Babiak played his best game of the season. Zdanewicz, Madigan, Reilly, and Babiak were the bulwarks in both offense and defense. The game was a fast one, the final score being Long Island U. 36 — Seton Hall 3 8. This game spelled the final to the career of one of Seton Hall’s most colorful and outstanding basketball stars, Captain John Shorty” Zdanewicz. Shorty” often proved himself the salient factor in many of Seton Hall’s victories. His floor work and accurate shooting together with a determined and fighting spirit was an inspira- tion to his fellow players. Athletics at Seton Hall bids farewell to a man, who has done much to keep Setonia in the hearts of a sport-loving world. Opp. S. H. Dec. 7 La Salle — away Dec. 10 Brooklyn C.
