Boxing Squad This year Redeemer's list of sporting events was enlarged by the addi- tion of a new sport-boxing. This first boxing team was very capably coached by M. LaCross. After only a few weeks of practice, the boxers re- ceived their iirst test under Hre. The occasion was a boxing tournament held for the benefit of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, on March 31, at the Redeemer SVU? In this tournament the Redeemer boxers were matched against boxers from St. Leo's, St. Theresa's, the Y. Nl. C. A., and the West Side A. C. For their initial encounter the Redeemer boxers were surprisingly successful. They were victorious in six bouts out of the nine in which they were entered. The suc- cessful Redeemer boxers were Duva, LaCross, Ouellette, Rupinski, Coogan, and Campbell. These men gave a fine exhibition of good boxing and with a little more practice will soon develop into a formidable boxing team. Financially these bouts were a great success and a very considerable sum of money was turned over to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The students, by showing the interest they did in these bouts, proved to the authorities in charge of sports that student support will be forthcoming at any other events they may choose to sponsor.

Track Squad The past track season has been the most successful completed since the introduction of track three years ago. Early in the autumn Redeemer's cross-country team, composed of Labadie, Liptow, Vezino, and Stiff, Was entered in the annual Fordson High meet. Despite the fact that the Redeemer athletes were running against some of the best in the Detroit area, Labadie and Liptow tied for first in the mile run. Later in the season, in the Regional meet at the Jefferson School, Labadie emerged first in the mile run, While Liptow Was fourth. The spring track season was opened in earnest shortly after the Easter holidays, with Redeemer, St. Benedict, Visitation, Central, and St. Catherine entered in a track meet at Belle Isle. In this meet Redeemer romped to an easy victory, scoring more than half the total points. Carter placed first in both the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. Maher in- creased the Redeemer total by placing second in the shot put and in the quarter mile. Redeemer again broke into the scoring column when Liptow gained a Hrst and Labadie a second in the mile run. Livernois finished far ahead of his nearest rival to win a first in the half mile. O'Connell captured a second in the high jump and Thierry a first in the broad jump. The mile relay team completed the scoring by gaining a first. In June several men were sent to the Michigan State tournament but did not place. Page Ninetyftwo

Varsi+y Baske+ball The Holy Redeemer Girls' basketball team opened the season with a hotly contested game against the Alumnae. who were strengthened by the addition of four of last year's Varsity stars. Although both teams put up a splendid de- fense, Redeemer Varsity wrested victory from the Alumnae, 34 to 25. Our next opponents were St. Leo who were engaging in league basketball for the Hrst time. The red and White succumbed easily, scoring only 5 points against our 27. The encounter with St. Mary of Royal Oak was the first meeting between the schools in two years. The Redeemerites were successful, 34 to 27, in a clean, hard-fought game. The contest with St. Ambrose, who had retained their last year's stars, was regarded as a great obstacle in our march to victory. Playing on a strange court, the fighting spirit of our Cagers manifested itself, and they conquered the Grosse Pointe team, 19 to l6. The next fray, With St. Joseph of Adrian, had been eagerly anticipated since the beginning of the season. Through the thoughtful consideration of Father McAllister, many spectators were enabled to accompany the teams to Adrian: Redeemer emerged on the long end of a 23-13 score. St. Anthony, smarting under several defeats by our teams, was resolved to turn the tables this time: but a similar determination fired the spirit of the purple and gold athletes. Our opponents failed to avenge themselves, losing by 12 to 37. Page Ninetyffour
