.90 il 6U'l'lU,I 6l, if t Z lb SENIOPS COP INTRAMURAL CROWN, 35-BQ The Senior triumph over a PTU squad loaded with last years varsity players was a fitting end to their career at C.C.O. This was the third season in a row in which the Class of May 1950 successfully competed for the intramural basketball honors, and their victory netted them permanent possession of the Hoop Trophy. Highly touted at the beginning of the season, the Senior Ouintet looked only fair in their early encounters. However in the past season play offs they aped this year's Cinderella Clubof C.C.N.Y.as they unloaded their vaunted power upon all comers. Losing to Phi Theta Upsilon in an early season the graduating hoopsters had their work cut out for themselves as the tournament ended in a three way tie for second place. This condition precipitated a need for a play off which found Omega Epsilon Phi, Frosh Five Year, and Senior ll squads matched. Senior Captain lrv Cuolden's hard driving quintet opened the play off Series against Omega Epsilon Phi. They shrugged off the O.E. Phi squad and go on to win handily . . . Q7 to 21. A special mid week contest with the Frosh Five year students resulted in the seniors most impressive victory of the season, They held the underclassmen to only one field goal which was scored in the closing seconds of the game, which ended with the seniors on top with a 'I6-5 count. The seniors were still coming hard as they qualified to play off with P.T.l.l. in the championship match. Although fraternity politics cost them the loss of Bob Underberg the seniors made up in team play and spirit for whatever they might have lacked in class. The seasons largest crowd were appalled ata senior display of shooting accuracy which enabled the team to speed away to a large lead in the opening minutes of the game. Outstanding in this early play were Blake and Cohen for the Seniors who poured in basket after basket with unerring accuracy, lt was only as the second quarter began to fade that P.T.U. began to show some signs of life. Their high powered scoring Eonbintgtican of Baker and McCartney netted three quick Field goals to place P.T.Ll. and the short end ofa QQ-11 count as the a en e . Continuing on a rallying rampage, P.T.U. opened a second-half scoring splurge with another three quickies before the startled Senior squad could retaliate from the floor. Outscoring the pink-shirted Seniors 'll-Q in the third quarter, P.T.U. found themselves trailing by only one bucket and very much in the game. Seeing their early game lead whittled down to virtually nothing, and a determined foe driving hard, the Seniors girded them- selves for the final last-quarter onslaught, Playing a deliberate offensive game coupled with a tenacious defense, the seniors held a five point edge in the closing seconds. Final whistles sounded, and a tired, but proud, Senior squad left the floor with a 35-32 victory. 102 as-was - -' '- v-Y U ..A. W ...cv . -i i,-4' gl -A Y, ,. QI- - , A , K .ii
