However, three lone veterans survived graduation, Jaworsky, Ckolovitz and Lefebvre, and replacements were difficult. Newcomers in the persons of Delaney, McGuinf niss and Cronin soon appeared and all seemed well. After a glorious start in which they defeated the ultimate state champions 3413, the Maroonfclad quintet faltered. It was only towards the end of the season that the team regained its form. It was generally conceded that the staleness was due to the fact that there was no rest period for the players between the football and basketball seasons. Of the eighteen games played the team won ten and lost eight. Despite hardship the La Salle quintet placed seventh in the league playfoff. In the allfstate selections, Walter Qkolovitz and John Jaworsky were picked. The other members of the team were given honorable mention. Coach Kreiger need not be discouraged. He hit the stars once, he can do it again. Eightyfone

Undaunted at the slim prospects of a fruitful season, Coach Sullivan seized the helm with a firm hand and after strenuous days of diligent work, moulded a track team worthy of La Salle. With such remaining veterans as Molloy, Dowling, Harrington and Driscoll and with the addition of a crew of newcomers including such promising material as Harrop, Goff, Williams, Mullins, Spillame, McCullough, O'Brien, Dooley, Weedon, Campbell, Morry, Cronin, Tracy, and Kelley, La Salle seemed set to maintain its supremacy on the cinder path and in the field events as well. With the smashing Victory at the Cycledrome for a starter the La Salle aggregation encountered stiff opposition from the Y.M.C.A. Seniors and finished second. In the Warwick meet La Salle nosed out the Blue and White 3612. Eighty

Hooviiiz said, A chicken in every pot and an automobile in every yard, L s s so La Salle says, a boy on every athletic team. ln accordance with this motto La Salle once again inaugurated intramural basketball in the school with the idea of giving every boy a chance of either contributing to the sporting whirl or indulging in healthful exercise. Since its inception a few years ago basketball has flourished and thrived until, at the present time, it has become one of the major sports in schoolboy circles. The Acadf emy was split into three divisions in order to add color and to heighten interest in these intramural games. The first division comprised only Freshmen, the second only Sophof mores and the third the Juniors and Seniors, or upper school. Intramural basketball is no new idea at La Salle. Since it first began last year when the famous 4D triumphed over the student body by means of framing 4B in the playoffs, Eightyftwo
