- '-' I9 CAMPANILE 32 - J. MAHER J. DeGROOT G. LIVERNOIS A Summary of the Season The basketball season was successful despite the fact that the team failed to win the championship. The Lion quintet was better this year than it had been for many years. Since there are no men to be lost through graduation, this year's team becomes the team with a wonderful future. Redeemer 20-Saini' Mary I9 The season was opened in a very satisfactory manner with the Purple and Gold cagers downing their formidable opponents from Orchard Lake by a one point margin. Carmen Duva won this game in the linal minute of play by sinking a foul shot. In this first game Stuve and Duvawere the outstanding Redeemer players. Redeemer I6-Alumni I0 The Lions won their second successive victory of the season by downing their Alumni, 16-10. However, ragged basketball was in evidence throughout, and both teams missed numerous shots. The work of Kolbe and DeGroot made itself especially noticeable in this game. Redeemer 20-Saint Caiherine I5 A late rally by Saint Catherine almost defeated the Lions in this league encounter. In the early periods of the game the Redeemer players piled up a large margin, but a fourth quarter rally enabled Saint Catherine to tie the score. However, a last minute spurt netted Redeemer a victory. Redeemer 5-De La Salle I0 Redeemer's first game with De La Salle resulted in a defeat for the Lions. ln the irst half of this game both teams used a Zone defense style, and each team refused to take the offensive. However, the second half loosened up some- what, but the Purple cagers were unable to overtake the La Salle quintet. Redeemer I3-Sain? Joseph I4 The Saint Joseph game was a very close defensive battle, with neither team ever having much of an advantage. Redeemer was ahead during most of the second half, but a long tom in the last two minutes of play put Saint Joseph in the lead. The Lions then made a desperate attempt to sink one, but their efforts were in vain. Redeemer I2-Cenfral I0 In a fast, aggressive game the Redeemer team upset the dope by defeating Catholic Central by a 12-10 score. ln the second overtime period Maher sank a basket, giving Redeemer a victory and making himself high scoring player with six points. Redeemer I4-Sainf Theresa 5 On the following Sunday, January 24, the Lions defeated the Saint Theresa five in a non-league game at Saint Theresa's Gym. The game was a defensive battle, as the 1-O score at the half indicates. Early in the second half the Redeemer team assumed a decisive lead and was never afterward threatened.
