Page Eight CARDINAL AND WH ITE Dec. 19, 1958 Chaminade Wins First League Game On December 2, the Chaminade Flyers, playing their first game at home, opened the Catholic League season with a 59-47 win over a tough under-rated Marquette team. The game was nip-and-tuck dur- ing the first half, the lead chang- ing hands several times. Cham- inade fought to a slim one point lead at the intermission with the score 27-26. The score was close until mid- point in the third period, when the Flyers slowly edged away from the determined team from Alton. It was the first basketball league game for the Explorers, who played Catholic League competition last year -but did not join the league till this year. The Flyers displayed a balanced attack, with the scoring honors of the night going to Skip Viragh who dropped in 15 points. Rebound- ing Bob Bitter had 11 points along with Ronnie Meier, who showed occasional flashes of brilliance. Don Carmody and Juan Perez had 10 and 9 points, respectively.

SPEECH fC'ontinued from page 41 place in the finals in non-original oratory, while John Rolwing took fifth place, also in the finals. These wins boosted the team in league standing. The rest of the team must not be overlooked, for they have done a very commend- able job considering that on the whole they are new and inex- perienced. On Dec. 9, Bob Hellrung entered the American Legion contest in oratory, which was held at Maple- wood High School. Bob was com- peting against four other schools and was runner-up to a student from University City.

Dec. I9, l958 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Seven GHAMINADE BOWS T0 BILLS On Dee. 7, the Chaminade Flyers lost a hard fought hattle to the .Iunior llills. This was the game that most people wanted to win, hut it was not to he had as the Flyers bowed out, 54-44, XVe were behind all of the game, but sev- eral times we narrowed the gap to three or four points. Our de- fense was not tight enough as the S.L.U.ll.'s hit several times from out-court and also on lay-ups. From the very beginning the Flyers were never in the lead but kept pecking away. A thrill was provided as at last second shot was dropped in from half-court by Juan Perez. The shot was ruled no good because it was fired after the huzzer. As it was, the Flyers trailed at the end of the first quarter by 13-7. The second quar- ter was no different, as the Flyers lost still a little more ground and trailed by a 29-20 score. The Flyers came out a bit more determined in the second half as they started the uphill battle. Midway in the third quarter, amidst the tremendous eheering, they cut the margin to 34-30. From then on the Flyers were behind. In the fourth quarter Bob Bitter and Skip Viragh suffered their fourth foul and Bob was brought. out. The Flyers narrowed the margin to 40-36, but that was the nearest they came to overtaking the Junior Bills. As the Bills stalled the ball, Chaminade fouled, their only choice, and St. Louis took advantage of the free throws. The game ended in a 54-44 defeat as a sad Cham- inade team left the floor. The Flyers' high scorers were Skip Vir- agh with 18 points and lion Car- mody with 14. I 1 R. Vimqh soars past Luboure as the B-team triumphs. Ron Meier hooks. Lalnoure On llec. 5, the Chaminade Flyers made it three in a row as they manhandled Lahoure, G6-44. It was a team victory as the Flyers had three men in double figures. Not, to he overlooked was the tight, defense of Laboure, yet they were laeking in height. Their defense slacked off in the second half as the Flyers ran them to death. The game started off nip and tuck, as the lead switched hands often. As time progressed, the Flyers moved ahead as their pass- ing and shooting started to click. The Chamiuade Flyers went off the floor at. half-time leading by the score of 27-19. The Flyers moved steadily ahead in the second half and opened the gap up to 15 points at times. The game finished off with a G6-44 score in favor of Chaminade. Our high scorers were Skip Viragh with 14 points, lion Uarmody with 13, and Ron Meier with 19 points.
