Out of the elbowing masses under the basket, All American Bob Lewis pops up to sink another two against an amazed St. Stephen's team. His all around play in the contest and a record-breaking 35 points in three quarters the next night against O'Connell wrapped up another Most Valuable Player trophy for the Cadet star. As a result ot the DC. Stadium riot, Eve ot the basketball team's pre- Christmas games with the public schools had to be cancelled, leaving us cold of game experience as we entered the O'Connell Christmas Tourna- ment. But as it turned out, experience was not necessary, in rolling to a second straight championship, the first team played no more than three quarters in any ot the three games. First, Landon was buried, 76-AO, with both Bob Lewis and Ned Carr hitting for 2l points. Then St. Stephens was crunched, 73-50. Finally, O'Connell was blasted, 96-47, for the title. A ''Patented-Panneton-Playground shot racks up two points for the Cadets despite the futile ettorts of a St. Stephen's player. Ron used this spectacular style of play all season to alternately dismay and amaze Cadet fans and opponents alike. He hit for 23 points in this game and wound up as the Johnnies third leading scorer. ln the total rout of O'ConnelI I96-471 in the Championship game of the Christmas Tournament, Brian Keller drives post Knight star Dirk Buckley. An outstanding Junior and future star, Brian was second only to Captain Bob Lewis in the re- bounding und scoring departments. Above: Senior backcourt whiz Skip Arthur Endres snatches a rare rebound, also against St. Stephen's.

21'l'!:kQQif!2i: The sad outcome of the Washington Invita- tional championship game with DeMatha is reflected on both the scoreboard and on the snarling countenances of Lewis, Ring, and Calabrese as Coach Gallagher accepts the 2nd place trophy. We also tinished second to DeMatha in the regular season by virtue of a miserable 47-36 loss to the Stags at Maryland University. Fol- lowing this, we played Mackin to determine second place and a tourney berth, the result-a great team eftort and a 60-56 victory. Jay Calabrese floats past Brendan McCarthy for an easy two points in the first DeMatha game. Our only vic- tory over the Stags in tive tries was witnessed by a turnaway crowd of 1800 in the St. John's Gym. Bob Lewis scored 27 points, Ned Carr played o major part in limiting DeMatha hotshot Jim McBride to 10 points, and Skip Endres played a spectacular defensive floor game in the 51-46 triumph.
