Having to contend with a complete lack of experience and a lack of height this year's Junior Varsity was pitted against some of the most outstanding .l.V.'s that the Catholic League of Buffalo has ever seen. Averaging well under six feet and in some cases giving as many as 5 or 6 inches to teams like St, Joe's and Canisius, the Junior Varsity had to substitute ball control and hustle and in many cases this was not enough as they would be soundly beaten in rebounding by their taller opponents. Despite their handicaps the team did manage a respectable 8 won l0 loss record. G. Bakalik and Bob Forsythe were not only the high scorers for the team but were the men who time and time again rose to the occasion on defense as well to lead their teammates to victory. J .V.

as My ws ls'- ln league play Timon compiled a record of 5-7, with many of the losses coming in the nnal minutes of play. The first two league games proved disastrous as the co- favorites, Canisius and Baker-Victory scored consecutive wins. However the one bright spot even in defeat was the emergence of John Mann as a future All-Catholic. Dan Donoyan led the way in the victory over St. Joe's with l7 points. ln the Duffy game John Mann notched Timon's high individual score for the season when he scored 25 points. Without a doubt the big moment of the season came in Timon's second encounter with Canisius. After having been soundly beaten in the first game the Bengals showed real hustle and a desire to win when they handed the league leaders their first setback of the season. lt was a team victory but the outstanding play ofJim Malinowski and Dan Donovan on both defense and offense proved to be the difference and they held Dick Meyer. the Cani- sius high scorer. scoreless from the floor. The remainder of the second round followed the pat- tern ofthe first round as Timon lost to the stronger Ryan. Fallon and Baker while they were registering wins over the weaker St. .Ioe's and Duffy. ,f All Jim .xllIlflI0lt'.llv'f lll.l',Y um' in :luring lflr' ill. Ci!II'II1l'lAf'!1HlL'.

ABC' ...Q- ..' --' '.: ,,, wa.. 9 1-1- At Ihr' plulv, Charlie Fest trying I0 win a game for him.wU. BA Last year the Timon Tigers. under Coach Mel Palano. notched a mediocre 6 won 4 lost season. However a key hit or play in a few of their close losses would have enabled them to win the league crown, but the clutch hitting was not there. Frank Cipriani and George Gegen- furtner earned themselves a spot on the All-Catholic Team forthe second year by posting 361 and 474 batting averages respectively. Cipriani played center held and won many a game on his long ball hitting. Gegenfurtner though not as spectacular was just as consistant at short- stop. The Tiger's initial effort against St. Joe's was spoiled as they dropped a 3-2 decision. Bob Miller, though tagged with the defeat, struck out eleven while at the plate George Gegenfurtner got two hits. At Delaware Park it was a different story when Timon downed Cani- sius 3-1 behind the brilliant pitching of Chuck Fest who posted a 3 hitter. Larry Carr was the big otfensive star for Timon slamming 2 hits in 3 times at bat. Ken Crosson's single with 2 out in the bottom of the 8th enabled The Tigers to salvage a 3-2 victory over Ryan at Caz. Larry Carr again had the big bat as he managed 3 hits while Cipriani tripled in the fifth to tie the score and set up Crosson for his game winning hit. SEBALL 54. 'Y 15 '. 'lf K ' 1 4 l ' .
