The Prep enjoyed another successful Basketball season under the masterful coaching of Mr. Connington. After winning its first eleven games, the team concluded its season with a 9-1 league record and a 20-7 total record. U Ed Starke, this year's captain, turned in an excellent job as the playmaker. His scintillating pass work and a deadly set-shot aided the Prep to many victories. John Dearie, the man on everybody's all-city team, was the explosive factor on the team this year. He averaged 22 points a game at the pivot and scored more points in his junior year than any other junior in the Prep's history. Dave Slattery, Deariels comrade-in-victory, averaged 14 points a game which netted him a position on many all-city polls. Artie Martin, another senior, shared the back-court,with Starke. His drives and a fine jump shot were decisive factors in many crucial games. Bob Coach . . . Mr. Connington. Lennon, a sophomore, is famous for getting numerous rebounds and for his extremely accurate one-hander. Mattie Hughes, Joe O'Brien and Rich Viera, all seniors, turned in admirable perform- ances when called on by the Coach. Owen Dunleavy and Digger Martin also did their part in producing this well-organized team. Digger, incidentally, is Artie's younger brother. Tom Lynch, a set-shot artist, and Billy Murphy, an adroit playmaker, are two sophomores destined to have quite a future in Basketball. This year's team turned in a fine account of themselves in the three tournaments they entered, Christian Brothers, St. Raymond's and Newport. Although they won their league title, La Salle edged them out in the city playoffs by a two-point decision. All in all, the team gave a line display of their ability and sportsmanship and we wish the best of luck to the teams in the years to come. Captain . . . Edward Starke. .ff 'Y F 1 ers.-5 .
