The CARDINAL I936 that the Card mentor had to put a practically drill-less team on the floor for the entire first half of the season. Despite this handicap the Cotton-coached Cards scored victories over Maryland, Davis-Elkins, West- ern Maryland, Roanoke, Maryland State Normal, Mt. St. Marys twice, St. Thomas, La Salle, John Mar- shall and Emory and Henry. On the other hand, Duke, the outstanding basketball team of the Southern Conference, Long Island University, one of the greatest combinations in the country, St. Josephs, Geneva, an Olympic contender, were the alien fives who scored victories over Catholic University. The remaining four games were played with St. Thomas and La Salle. Losing to both teams early in the season, the Fly- ing Cards improved sufhciently to trounce both teams later in the season. HERMAN SCHMARR Perhaps the most thrilling victory scored by the CU. team this year was the triumph over Maryland University. The Redbirds went into the fray as distinct underdogs, and for three periods trailed the College Parkers. However, in the dying moments of the tussle the Cottonmen came through with one of the most spirited rallies ever seen on a basket- ball court. The entire team collaborated in scoring over 15 points in the space of 5 minutes and to ultimately earn a 40-29 decision over the Terrapins. Only one member of this seasonis Cardinal court squad Will be lost for next year. But this loss will be tremendously felt by the CU. team as it will be its captain, Bernie Lieb. For the past three seasons Lieb has received All-District recognition and he will always be remembered at Catholic University as the greatest team player to ever wear the Red and Black. He never hesitated to forego personal glory for the sake of the team.
