December 21, 1956 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Seven FLYERS VS. GATIIEDRAL 0N JAN. 4th. JU' JI D I Cillll B Team Consistent The B-team opened their sea- son on October 30 against West- ern Military Academy. The ex- pert ball handling of Perez, cou- pled with the fine jump shots of Coffelt, proved too great an ob- stacle for the boys from Illinois, as Chaminade ran away with the game, 43-21. Four days later, again on their home court, C.C. met Mercy High. What first appeared to be an easy victory ended up as a very close game, Chaminade managing to squeeze under the wire with a 30-28 victory. On Dec. 7, Chaminade played host to Laboure. With a packed house looking on, the B-team played the best game of their yet young season, as they ran over Laboure 48-8. With a solid B-team such as this, under the coaching of Bro. William Callahan, Chaminade can look forward to many outstand- ing varsity teams in the future, B Team vs. Western Military C.C.-Western Military November 30th marked the be- ginning of the Flyers' '56-'57 bas- ketball season. The 62-35 score gave us quite a good outlook for the C.C. five. Their superior skill and agil- ity in ball handling due to the fine coaching, outmanuevered the per- plexed Western Military. Kevin Kearns spearheaded the team, being high point man with 17 points, followed by -Steve Sat- terthwaite with 15. The half score was 27-19 in our favor and although Magee scored 20 and Rulman, ll points, Western Military was unable to make up the first half loss. They bowed to C.C. 62-35. C.C.-Mercy Our second game was against Mercy, a team with a unique tech- nique. Their star, O'Brien, and their uncanny style, the press, enabled them to edge the Flyers out, 57-62. Our team withstood the pres- sure well during the first quar- ter, but the second quarter was our stumbling block. Despite the spirited drive and play of Sat- terthwaite, Kearns, and Kohlberg, the Mercy quintette managed to pile up a 21-42 score. Whether it was the indomitable spirit of the Flyers or that same spirit in the cheering of the stu- dent body, we rallied in the sec- ond half. At one time we were within 3 points of the Mercy's close lead, but their style proved to be the winner . . . 57-62. -- - I- - C.C.-Laboure Once more the Flyers stepped on our home court, 'December 7, this time to face an able Laboure team. Again we tasted the feeling of victory through our able team of sharpshooters, 51-47. By the calm but pungent drives of Gene Hughes and the out- court jump-shots of Steve Satterth- waite, by the pivot shots of Tony Dohle and those of Boyer, we overwhelmed the Laboure five. Our spirited student body cheered the team on as they were given a victory. High point men were Boyer, 14: Dohle, 13. Others scorers were Satterthwaite, 6: Kearns, 73 Hughes, 63 and Kohlberg, 3. CoCo'soLoUoHo On Dec. 11, our Varsity went out on the home court of St. Louis University High to beat the team which was determined to beat us by a large margin, since it was by a very slight margin that they beat us last year. De- spite our fighting spirit and de- termination, we were defeated 49-66. Gene Hughes and Steve Satter- thwaite led our attack on the Junior Bills, while Dohle and Kohlberg fought for the rebounds. Our team was heavily guarded and due to their center fthe tall- est in the statel, Bevo Nord- mann, the backboards were con- trolled by S.L.U.H. In view of this, we still came to a 24-28 score at the half. High point men for our team were Hughes and Satterthwaite, each with 12 points.

Page Six CARDINAL AND WHITE December 21, l956 CHAMINADE BASKETBALL FARING WELL Alumni-Varsity Game The annual Alumni-Varsity game was held on Tuesday, Nov. 27. The teams were well matched and the game very close until, in over- time, the Alumni bowed to our Varsity 53-51. The Alumni players who form- ally starred on our Varsity were Dickens, Krekler, Remlinger, Bru- ton, S-ommers and Brown. Throughout the first half our Varsity led. Then in the 3rd and 4th quarters the score was tied which effected an overtime, thus spelling the Alumni's doom . . . 53-51 in favor of C.C. Varsity. The high point scorers for our team were Steve Satterthwaite, 163 Ed. Kohlberg, 113 Dohle and Boyer, 9. Dickens and Sommers starred for the Alumni with 22 and 21 points, respectively. B Team-SLUH On llec. ll, the Chaminade Jun- ior Varsity met St. Louis Univer- sity High and were defeated 35- 26. True, they lost, but the great spirit and drive that was shown offset the loss. Mike llardas was responsible for 8 Chaminade tallies. The man of the night, however, was Juan Perez. He scored only five points, fewer than usual, but his ball handling and aggressive work on defense was nothing short of tre- mendous. The lead jumped back and forth throughout the second and third quarters, Chaminade edging ahead, then resilient St. Louis U. bound- Preps Persistent The C.C. Preps, traditional champions in their division, again have a splendid basketball team, and have to their credit so far a four win and no defeat record. Their first game, in which they played host to Our Lady of the Pillar on November 30, was, what may be said, a real trouncing. Their smooth ball handling proved far superior to that of Pillar and the Preps racked up a 29-10 win. The next game was played with Little Flower on December 7, and again their excellent ball han- dling and brilliant defense proved to be the deciding factor as the Preps handed them a 24-4 loss. Holy Redeemer was the next to fall, as they piled up 34 points while allowing only 15 to their opponents. St. Peter's of Kirkwood was the next victim, falling an easy prey to Kreckler's drive-in shots, Korack's ball handling, and Vir- agh's corner shots. The second and third string preps continued the sharp shooting in the second half to finish the game 48-15 vic- tors. C.C. showed well in both scrim- mages against McBride's and St. Mary's C teams, losing to the former by only one point, 38-37. ing back to take the lead. In the fourth quarter, however, the regulars of C.C. began tiring and the Junior Bills, with a rested first string, pulled out in front to stay. C.C.'s C Team Under the fine and able coach- ing of Bros. Ray Davenport and Cyril Boschert, this year's Fresh- men have proven themselves to be a most athletic group. Fol- lowing their brilliant football sea- son, they are thus far undefeated in basketball. With starting players such as Don Carmody, Chris Bina, Charlie Brangle and Pete C-Team has given hard-fought decision. Nolan, Jim Knese, the every foe a The first in which C.C. played host to an experienced St. Francis de Sales team, was hard fought and well played. Neither team was very far in front for long. During the last minutes of the fourth quar- ter, CC took the lead and held it --Final score: C.C. 33, De Sales 27. Knese was high point man with 10 points. game, November 30. The next game was again played at Chaminade on December 4, against McBride. Being less ex- cited, the C-Team made easy work of the visitors and racked up a 25 to 15 victory. Bina was high point man with 10 points. Knese was second with 8. On December 7, Chaminade scrimmaged the Priory. While giving only 6 points, CC racked up 30 points over the frustrated Priory quintet. With basketball playing and coaching on the C-Team as it is, it can easily be seen that the Chaminade teams of the future have a firm foundation. '56-'57 Preps ' ' 56- 57 C Team
