56 J rep ( basketball BASKETBALL. PREP With three returning letter-men, the Junior Clippers looked forward to a top-notch year under Coach Elmer Doh- herstein ' s expert guidance. However, the season started with three losses to Sacred Heart. Hackley, and Horace Mann. Even Christinas vacations didn ' t seem to help, as the Clippers returned to drop games to Scarsdale, Eastchester, Blessed Sac- rament, and Edison Tech, running the record up to seven losses. m it Late, evening snow fulls . . . the silent beauty of them. . ■ white and purr . . .

Last season in l)ascball - character- ized by tough breaks, but balanced off by some smart pitching and home- run hitting . . . but not enough . . . ith close but losing games against neighboring teams, pitcher Bruce Bo- huny allowed only a few hits, chalked up 41 strike-outs. Later in the season he had boosted his record to 125 strike-outs, allowing only 29 hits in 61 innings. Home-runs were by Duerr and Prais, with other pitching victor- ies by Matty Theiss - freshman. An industrious, though sometimes frus- trating season, and a tally of 5 wins, 8 losses . . . prospects for this year look slim, with only 4 veterans re- turning, but dependable Dobby has been known to be quite the magician at times. . . . After the football rally, complete with roaring fire and spirited cheers, our confident, but green, prepsters, under the coaching of Vince Olson and line-coach Fahrenkrug, began a schedule of tough and strength-tax- ing games. Captain Dick Tegtmaier started this year ' s scoring with a safe- ty in the first quarter against Child- rens ' Village, but as the year wore on, with Liebe and Zadeik sitting out games in the infirmary, scores and scoring by Concordia ' s eleven were few and far between . . . The Home- Coming Day game, never-to-be-for- gotten for its mud, rain, and slip- periness, was just about the toughest game, and the toughest score to take . . . Hackley 40, Concordia . . .
