Thomas Byron, John McGrati1, Leo Lahedziewicz, Daniel Daly, Vviliiam Quigley, James Reagan, Charles Thompson, Robert Breen. JUNIOR VARSITY While the varsity was clicking off victory after victory, the junior varsity mixed its victories with a number of defeats. An unimpressive record at first glance, to he sureg the more so, when it is contrasted with the regular squadys record. Although the varsity stole the show, the younger depart- ment iost many games hy close scores, showing a decided tendency to come hack into the game in the second half, and most ot ati, to play hard until the final whistle. Four varsity regulars have played the final game for La Salle and it is from this J. V. aggregation that next yearls reserves and regulars will he chosen. This fact hecomes more important when it is realized that ali the junior varsity were Freshmen and Sophomores. Tom Byron, Dan Daly, and Bill Quigley are the Sopho- mores, who expect to do hig things, While Leo Lahedziewicz may prove to he another Miodzianowski. Hchucicu Thompson, brother of George Thompson, former Explorer captain, and James Reagan are two more Freshmen of great promise. Boh Breen, Jack McGrath, Tom Nlundy, round out this galaxy ot future greats. Hchucicy' Thompson pushes one up. Daly takes a rebound while Quigley and Reagan prepare for action, Daly again.
