HIGH 44- ENGLISH 81 Again English proved to be too much of a power- house for B. C. High as the Double Blue clinched the championship of the City League for the second straight year in defeating the Eaglets, 4.4--31. Dribblings How about the Milton twins - Jack Horrigan and Tom Mahoney - they look like Cousy and Sharman in the back-court. Our advice to you: lust because you are in the back- court, it is no excuse to be backward . . . Tom Courtney comhined skill with uncanny luck to sneak into the scoring column. Our advice: Open the good eye! G. Hanrahan putting up a jump shot from some dark corner while fading away from the basket. Our advice: Give it back to the Indians. Ken Joyce, Southieis pride and joy, in the form of a roly-poly forward. Our advice: Keep him in Southie until he loses twenty pounds. Don Hughes from the brainroom and a real classy buc- ket man. Our advice: Throw your books out the window and forget about them for one night . . . Joe Molineaux, our brownhaired, hard-fighting, ball- handling guard, who incited many skirmishes during some close games. Our advice: When you swing, donit miss, Joey.

High as Roxbury Memorial sent the Eaglets reeling into defeat. 39-57. The deciding factor of the game was Memorialls ability to hit on twenty-four shots from the floor as compared to the Maroon and Gold's meager thirteen field goals. B.C. HIGH 30a LATIN 47 B. C. High proved to he no match for a thrice- beaten Latin quintet as the Purple and White handed the Eaglets their fourth straight sethack. 30-47.

HIGH 58-MEMORIAL 59 The slim margin of one point separated B. C. High from a possihle upset of a highly regarded Memorial quintet as our Roxhury opponents barely nosed out the Iiaglets, 58-59.

Howeyer some of the seasons highlights were Twooxneys shut-out of Needham and the stellar defense of Jim Falvey, Charlie Burnes and lay' Galligan. Falvey' was also the chief offensive threat of the team. The offensive work of John Gonnella played an important part in the teaxnis vic- tories. Juniors Ed Kirby, Kevin Ollionnell and limb Dray' proved an invaluable asset and should be well-seasoned next year. However, the never-die spirit was commend- able and a credit to B.C. High.
