JAY VEE This yearls .lay Vee basketball team completed an enviable record of ten victories in seventeen outings. This record takes on added luster when it is considered that every member of the team. with thc exception of one. is a sophomore. Brother James, the teamls coach, can look back over the past season and feel assured that it was a task well done. The first game of the season saw our future stars playing La Salle of Troy. Sonny Gervais scored ten points in a losing cause. as the team was beaten 51-25. The second game. played at home. saw a vastly improved quintet fight gamely. only to bow to a La Salle rally in the final quarter. 32' 23. St. lNIary's forced the team into two overtimes before winning. f30ff28. and registered their first win of the season. In the return game. the team also brought home a victory as they triumphed. S3-29. The Brothers won their second straight contest as they nosed out Catholic Central of Troy. 31126. The return game, however. was won bv the Troians. 46 45. in a game which had the crowd on its feet throughout the 32 minutes of play. Al- though Milne. the Purple and Gold's next oppo- nent. had a deficit of height advantage. Brother James' scrappy quintet showed they had what it took when they emerged victorious. 40f35. The second game of the series resulted in a 34120 vic- torv. Albany High School offered little or no resistance as the Brothers routed the Garnet and Gray 42 f26 at home. but the Albany High small court proved too much of an obstacle and the team bowed. 37--36. in the return tussle. The Cathedral .Iay Vee was less effective than their varsity and dropped both decisions to our fighting quintet by score of .il 28 and 38 252. -lim Xfcllonald led the way in the first game by dumping in nineteen points. In the second game. however. Sonny , Gervais swished in twelve points to lead his team to victory. Oddly enough. Curro scored ten points in both contests to pace his team in unsuccessful bids for victory. ls? Both contests with Albany Academy .lay Vee proved thrillers, as both teams were evenly matched. The Brothers proved to be too strong on their spa- cious court and downed their rivals. 36550. In the second contest, however. Academy upset the apple- cart, 36-33. The two Vincentian games were knock 'em down and drag 'em out contests, as all athletic contests against the Lions seem to be. In the first of the two games the Brothers, after having piled up a 12 to 2 lead in the first quarter. fell piey to a Lion rally in the second quarter. from which they never recovered. W'hen the final whistle blew. the Blue and Vlhite emerged with a well-earned 46-39 victory. The second game was played on the home court before 1.800 enthusiastic fans. After a grueling first quarter. the Purple and Gold had built up a I0 to 5 lead. As in the first encounter. V.I. rallied and took a 1746 half-time lead. In the third quarter the Lions continued to roll and possessed a commanding 29'-l6 lead going into the fourth quarter. The final period proved to be the most exciting of the season. The Brothers gamely rallied and came within one point of tying the score, The Lions thus maintained their 'lay Vee mastery over the Purple and Gold with a 315-152 score. Rinclla and Conway kept the scores

Kicilarthv, FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The freshman basketball team. under the able coaching of Rev. Brother john. had a very success- ful season. They not only won a majority of their games, but they also won most of them by com- fortable margins. The team featured a close-built defense and a good scoring punch. Brother John entered the team in the Times-Union tournament under the name Seabees and trounced their opponents. i'The Hoopstersu. 46430. Hickey led the team with 12 points. The team thus advanced into the semi-finals. where they beat the Baby Lionsw. 38-22, to qualify for the tournament finals. O'Heaney. a versatile freshman. led the team to victory by scoring ll points. The team entered the finals with everybody very tense and nervous. The scoring was kept at a minimum. with the score changing hands often. At the termination of play. the score was tied. ln the overtime. the i'Red Chiefsl' emerged victorious. 18-17. The bright spot in the event was that O,Heaney was awarded a trophy for being high scorer in the tournament. although tied with another player. TVith stalwarts like Hickey. McVeigh and O'Heaney. just to men- tion a few of the freshmen. The Purple and Gold of the future is going to be hard to beat. Pxiznus Seated. lejl to right W. McVeigh, O'Hcaney, Pulco, L, Joyce, T.

Brother Bernard John Klloachl, MIDGET BASKETBALL The midget basketball team had a successful season under the capable coaching of Rev. Brother Azarias Michael. The team finished the season with a .667 average. winning ten out of fifteen games. At times they were pitted against much taller boys, and in most eases they cut their oppo- nents down to their own size. The team was led offensively by Barr. His hustle and fighting spirit seemed to be the little extra something that urged his teammates on to greater team play. The midgets thus learned. in spite of their handicap of lack of size, a great deal of self- assuranee and poise. with great promise of making the varsity in future years. This season was marked by several interesting games. among which we saw the midgets rebound from a 26f25 setback at the hands of St. James to trounce the same team, 43--30. As in most of their contests. Barr led the scoring, this time collecting 18 points. Brother Michael and his team of Mighty' Midgetsii should be congratulated on their very successful season.
