CENTER: Patrick Mackin tManagerJ, Mr. Gallagher iCoachl, Celin Fernandez iManagerl. When Nat Volpe, our basketball coach for seven years, moved to Stepinac last September as head of the Physical Education department, the task of coaching the Hayes 5 was under- taken by the head of our own Physical Educa- tion department, Bernie Gallagher. That his first season was a tremendous success is proven by the final record of twenty wins against four losses that our varsity racked up. After proving their ability by defeating the all-time greats of past Hayes quintets, 54-50, the Redbirds proceeded to gobble up Bishop Loughlin in their first league game 52-4l, giving the fans an idea of things to come. Liv- ing up to expectations, the team then quickly defeated St. Simon Stock, Fordham Prep, our arch rivals-Mt. St. Michael, St. Ann's, All Hallows, Power Memorial and Rice. Finally the flying Cardinals met defeat at the hands of a fast Regis five after a hard-fought game, 49-46. Showing that they could not be discour- aged, they went on to crush LaSalle 58-37 and in a return game with the Mounties the Cardin- als again showed a collection of fast breaks and expert pivots to hand them another defeat to the tune of 63-37. St. Ann's and All Hallows again broke the chain of continual victories by defeating Hayes 42-32 and 3O-28 respectfully. Undaunted, however, the Redbirds took to the courts against Power, Fordham, Rice, Loughlin and LaSalle successively, losing only to Bishop Loughlin. Finishing the regular schedule of the season in true Hayes tradition, they defeated the cadets of Xavier, 49-4l , taking third place in the C. H. S. A. A. league.

Mr. Gallagher then entered the team in the tournament sponsored by the Knights of Co- lumbus. In their first encounter the Hayes quintet defeated Chaminade 52-33 and hopes of winning the tournament soared high among the fans. The Redirds then came up against the Loughlin five who were intent on repeating their earlier victories but were sadly disap- pointed when Mr. Gallagher's boys reversed the earlier decisions by winning 46-42. Meet- ing a new foe in St. John's, Hayes again showed its superiority on the court. Finally, the Cardin- als entered the play-off against Xavier and in a close, tight game defeated their apponent, 32-30, and took the victory in the tournament. Congratulations, Mr. Gallagher, and good luck for the future! Lou Gigante displays the speed with which he travels down the court. sffsmf-t .
