Material was lacking. It seemed very much as though an epidemic of some kind or other had made a call and taken with it all the athletes of tried and experienced ability. In a way it proved quite disheartening, for the Redeemer followers were not at all accustomed to being rated other than first in and among scholastic athletic circles. However, such lean years must come and it must be said to the credit of both coach and players that, in spite of adverse conditions, there was never a time when the student body nor those inter- ested in Redeemer could feel the least bit ashamed in the field of sports. E. CARLIN, Captain of the school's representation The basketball team was captained by Edwin Carlin, who played a very consistent game the entire season. Like the football squad most of the hard- wood artists were from the junior classes, making prospects for a successful season in l9'5l, very bright. Kneeling: Left to right. E. Carlin, W. Gibbons, E.

V- ing his high school career. Of all those seeking this 5-,L lliif fi lf, K' distinction, only a comparatively few succeed. Hence, 1, - gg all those who have been thus honored, cherish their X W iv emblems jealously and feel a very reasonable pride in ffl, Xl wearing them, for to receive an athletic monogram is the greatest mark of recognition that a school can ffj i bestow u on a au il. For this reason the fortunate lla , p .l .p. . , . . Q lj! lv possessor of this insignia is deserving of the admira- ' 3 ' ---' If-l' tion and esteem of his classmates. Kill - Perhaps the wearers of these badges of merit have distinguished themselves on the Held of athletics. or perhaps they have earned them by efficiently dis- charging the arduous duties of a student manager. At any rate, these youths have done something to aug- ment the fame of Redeemer. Therefore it is quite evident that the Monogram Club is easily the most exclusive organization in the school, since its member- ship is limited to the select few who have rendered some extraordinary service to their Alma Mater. At present the club is composed of eighteen gridiron luminaries and nine . basketball heroes. Orville l-oyer and Donald Trudeau. in their four years at Redeemer, have earned six and live letters respectively. Killing: Left to right. E. Carlin. O. Loyer, U. Meier. R. Kuhn, J. Glasqr, J.

Although the quintet was rather inexperienced, it proved to be one of the most dangerous fives in the league: it was never known when their fighting spirit would flame up and some strong opponent would be upset. With every team except St. Theresa they broke even and consequently earned third place in the final standings. The first league game of the season resulted unfavorably, St. Joseph out-scoring Redeemer, 23-19. Captain Carlin. single handed, kept the West Siders within striking distance of the Commercials by tallying six baskets and a free throw. Against the widely heralded St. Theresa live, the Lions played surprisingly well. Bill Hayes, the champions' star, was stopped cold, but his team mates were more successful. The Pirates won by a scant three points, 19-16. In beating Rosary 9-6, Coach Crowe's proteges set their low-scoring mark for their league encounters. At half time. Central led 4-0. During the entire game only four baskets were made, all by Redeemer. After being held scoreless from the start of the second half. De La Salle counted twice in the last two minutes of play to down the Vernor aggregation, 18-16. In a fast, rough struggle Redeemer avenged an earlier de- feat by whipping St. Joseph's, 18-17. Meier and Fuhrman waged a pretty scoring duel, each bagging seven points. At the end of the first half, the second Redeemer Central battle seemed destined to be a repetition of the first, the score being 4-2. But in the last two periods, Central found the net with unusual frequency and drew away from their erst- while conquerors. The final score was 17-8, Meier account- ing for the losers' only baskets. St. Theresa strengthened its hold on first place by beating the Lions, 19-14. After the first quarter. in which they were outpointed 10-0, the Monarchs out-played the Champions, although it was too late to alter the outcome. Playing their greatest game of the season, the Lions whipped De La Salle, 27-23, in an overtime struggle. Joe Hayes was the hero of the fray, making the tying goal in the last few seconds to play, and then putting his team in the lead by dropping in another one in the extra period. Thus Redeemer completed their league schedule with three victories and live defeats. Perhaps this is not the most success- ful campaign in the schoo1's history, but the team is to be praised for its splendid spirit. Winning or losing, they fought in a manner worthy of their illustrious predecessors. 0. Loy 7.
