ALTITUDE CONTROL-Bill Campbell, Bonner's lead- ing rebounder, taps in a two-pointer against the Father Judge Crusaders. Bill's quick hands and high jumping power helped him to keep the scoring leaders of the league in check. His close defense of All-Catholic Prep- per, Tom Duff, disrupted St. Joseph's offense and almost turned the tide for a Friar upset. LANDING SYSTEM in check, Chuckles McKenna re turns to the hardwood with another rebound. Chuckles, was always fighting and made up for his lack out experi ence with desire and hustle. APEX OF ARC-Dick Stanton hangs in the air while he unleashes his familiar jump shot. The Friars pulled an upset in this game, but the playoifs were out of reach.
