The CARDINAL I936 Resume of the Season Eleven victories out of seventeen starts was the very creditable record compiled by Catholic Univer- sity,s Flying Cardinal basketeers for the 1955-36 season. .

Although he was placed at guard on the All-District basketball team, Captain Bernie Lieb played center for the CU. courtmen. Joe Yanchulis and Bill Adamaitis completed the Cardinal court roster. Though they were cast in the role of substitutes, both men saw consider- able action and often turned in beautiful basketball performances.

Bernie Lieb was the lone C.U. player who was not a member of the football squad. Consequently, due to the lavish preparations for the New Years Day battle, little time was left for Fods, stalwarts to obtain their court practice. So it was . . BERNARD LIEB
