BASKETBALL-VARSITY The Crusaders opened the basketball campaign with high hopes for a successful season. This confidence resulted from the fact that six lettermen were returning to the cage sport. Coach Bro. Henry was able to place Fritz May at center, with Willard Conrath and Bill Luby at forwards, while Paul Lugge and Jim Schmidt filled the po sitions of guards. In addition to these there were several very capable reserves headed by let ' terman, Ossie Joffray. H o w e v e r, overconfidence caused the Crusaders to suffer several setbacks that otherwise should have been easy victories. Scores Below : Fritz May, Leon Grandcolas, Paul Lugge, William Luby.
