Frising, Budleman, Costello, Ruiss, Brother Lewis, Walsh, Pettit and should be dynamite next year and we are hoping Willie McManus will knock off a few more no-hitters. Mr. Cuneen has the congratulations of the class of '48 for his ceaseless labor- ings with the team and Ken Hughey, that umpire-baiter third base coach, has our good luck and best wishes upon his return to the pro ranks with the St. Louis organization. Hyde-Met, Handball Champ and Coach, Mr. Cuneen HYDE WINS HANDBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Henry Hyde, red-headed sophomore, took C.H.S.A.A. handball singles title with comparative ease in May, by the score of 21-14. Mowing down all competition, he beat boys from schools with large enrollments, such as Loughlin and St. Michae1's high schools. As De La Salle's only entry, he showed himself very well and should be congratulated for a fine performance. Good work, Henry! Here's to two more titles! 1948 75

The team, amassing 7 losses against 2 wins, was plagued by bad breaks galore. How- ever prospects were unfurled. Willie McManus who is considered a 5rd baseman, took to the mound an pitched a no-hitter. Gil Brady, a freshman, sparked the team from first base and Mel Sommna, a pitcher, shifted to the outfield, gave a good fielding show and led the team in batting. Jack Cassidy wound up a most successful four years behind the bat and will hang up his shin guards and mask only to take them from the hook up at Manhattan. Good luck, Jack! Andy Cordial, joe Smith, and Hank Hielferty, three fourths of the infield, also wound up successful careers and a problem will be presented as to their replacement. Look for Gil Brady, Willie McManus, Mel Somma, jim Crowley, Myles Keenan and Charlie Dragowitz to garner new baseball laurels for D.L.S. next year.
