idqef askefbaff Courageous, fighting spirit characterized the Midget team of 1941. Extremely handicapped by their smallness, they nevertheless fought many a taller and bigger team to a standstill, only to lose because their opponents had those extra few inches of reach. Two heart-breakers were lost: one, to Rockville by one point in an over-time periodg and another to the runners- up in the Washington Parochial League, St. Mathews, by two points. Their record stands: one win, 7 losses. A future G.P. star was uncovered in Don Kiley. Time and again he thrilled the spectators with his speed, clever- ness and alertness. Guyer and O'Connor continued their football partner- ship. Roberts, Wilson and G. Rossello showed promise, while Brown, C. Rosscllo, Tcncrowicz and Farrclly provided staunch rcscrvc strength. L 'Q

j m 6 Luzior askefhaf! After the Christmas holidays the Juniors engaged in 17 games, eight ol' which they won. In these they accumulated three hundred and twelve points against their opponents two hundred and seventy points. Perhaps the sweetest victory of the season was that over the Loyola Jayvees, a team which had administered a sound thrashing to the Juniors on the New York trip. The best defensive exhibition of the year was given against Sidwell Friends who were unable to put a field goal through the hoop during the entire game. The greatest scoring punch appeared in the first game with Devitt in which forty-one points were countered against the opponents ten.
