Page Six CARDINAL AND WHITE Marih 2, l959 Viragh lakes a shot FLYERS HIGH CBC Defeated On January 16, the Chaminade Flyers gained a 54-43 victory over the Cadets from C.B.C. After a sloppy Iirst quarter, in which both teams lost the ball on several occasions, the Cadets had a 11-7 edge. But then Bob Bitter sparked the Flyers to a 23-22 half-time lead. Bob Van Num showed his hall handling ability in the second half as he and Juan Perez liter- ally ran circles around the Cadets. It was Perez who iced the game with a driving layup after the determined Cadets came within two points with three minutes left in the game. Cathedral Does lt Again The Cathedral gym in Belleville was packed on January 23 as the Flyers bowed to their traditional Catholic League rival, Cathedral. The Belleville team hit a torrid percent of their shots as they gained the 90-76 victory. The score at the end of the half was 54-43 Cthis is the same score of the entire C.B.C. gameb. Skip Viragh fouled out of the game in the opening minutes of the second half and Ronnie Meier was ham- pered with four fouls. The Flyers racked up their season high of 76, but they couldn't catch up with the hot-shooting Cathedral team. McBride The Flyers proved the old say- ing, Revenge is sweet, as they defeated McBride 67-56 after los- ing to the Micks only one week earlier in the iinals of the ILA. tournament. The first eight min- utes placed both teams on almost equal terms, as the score was tied quite often. In the second quarter the Flyers slowly crept away to a 36-26 lead at intermis- sion. In the beginning of the third quarter the Flyers hit a cold spot as McBride cut the lead to two points. Then the Flyers engineered their fast break as they scored the 67-56 decisive victory. Don Carmody, playing one of his best games of the season, tallied 20 points, as did Skip Viragh. Bob Bitter put in 15 markers. B-Team Priesmeyer up.
