This smooth running machine claimed the intra-mural title without a serious challenge. Among the victorious basketeers were members of gridiron and track teams. O'Connell, who captained this aggregation, with Podzius and Smith, were the outstanding players. They received the utmost support from their teammates, Sabo, Carter, Ford, and Machuta. Stiff, as manager, gave his full support. Starting with a tremendous victory over one of the Junior classes, this aggressive team was at once recognized as champion. Sophomore A gave the Senior aggregation the hardest opposition of the season, and they were downed by a comfortable margin. Since its inauguration at the school in 1930, interest in the intra-mural league has been gradually increasing, and it now occupies an important place among Redeemer's sporting events. Page Ninety

--A I9 CAMPANILE 323-,-f-,-'-' W. KOLBE E. STUVE E. LaCROSS A Summary of 'the Season Redeemer 24-Saini' Anthony 20 Redeemer broke the Saint Anthony Jinx when they defeated the Tonymen in a very close game, The Lions piled up an early lead and the score at the half was 13-7 in their favor. In the last quarter the Red team overcame this lead, but Redeemer scored four points in rapid succession to win the game. Redeemer 20-Saint Catherine 9 Without much difliculty the Lions succeeded in downing their East Side opponents by a 20-9 count. Redeemer led from the start and held an eight point advantage at the half. Maher was high point man with five baskets, and LaCross also showed up well in the Purple lineup. Redeemer 24-Saint Theresa 20 Their all-around play greatly improved, Redeemer defeated Saint The- resa for the second time. The game was hardly opened when the Lions, by clever tea mwork assumed the upper hand. In the last half Saint Theresa began to threaten, but the Lions tightened and the threat was averted. Redeemer I2-De La Salle I0 After trailing at the end of the half, 8-6, the Redeemer cagers staged a third period rally to gain the lead, and ultimately a victory over De La Salle. Duva was the outstanding player for Redeemer, sinking two baskets and four free throws to top the scoring column. Redeemer I6-Saint Joseph 22 Redeemer's inability to sink their shots probably cost them this game. Redeemer had a great many shots, but while the Lions were missing them, the Blue-clad boys kept dropping them in from all angles: and when the final whistle sounded, they had defeated Redeemer a second time. Redeemer 4-Saint Anthony 27 Saint Anthony fully avenged themselves for their earlier setback by swamping the Lions. The Red team brought with them a splendid offense and their defense was so strong that it held Redeemer to a lone field goal. Redeemer I8-Central Ib Sheedy, substitute forward, provided the thrill of this game, when he dropped one in from mid-court in an overtime period to give Redeemer a victory. The Lions were handicapped by having several players put out on fouls, but their reserve strength rose to the occasion, and as a result the Lions defeated their opponents. Page Eightyfnine
