D-C-H-S.-T ll li T A T T L E It-1 9 3 0 past year, and the explanation is this: too many injuries. The season opened with a series of losses, brought on by several serious injuries to regular players. Finally when all the courtsters did get back into shape, nothing could stop the locals. Proof: A state championship and place among the eight foremost quintets in the country. The regular schedule for the season 1929-30, was reported as the hardest and stiffest ever undertaken by a D. C. H. S. representative team. An even break in those games, despite the many injuries, is worthy of note. Three opponents defeated the Green twice during the season. They were C. C. of Fort Wayne, New Haven, and Anderson. In the six games with these three. the score varied only a few points. The Commodores broke even with Andrews, Lima tSt. Rosej, and Lima tSt. John'sJ. Near the end of the regular season the Commies began a winning streak which was stretched to eleven, before De La Salle, of Chicago, stopped their onrush in the quarter-finals of the national interscholastic tourney. The locals scored a total of 488 points. against 42-1 by their opponents. The schedule: Commodores ......,.. S 33: therel Huntington ........... 99 Commodores ...,., 38: ttheret Ashley ........

THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC PREP TOURNE1 With the state title tucked safely under their belts, the Commo- dores weighed on March 18th and set out on a rough and stormy sea in conquest of the National Catholic Prep Title. Indeed, it was a rough and stormy sea. for their first round opponent was Altoona Catholic High. the Catholic Champions of Pennsylvania. But the worst was yet to come. Eighty-six.
