LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETB LL SQU Carmel's Lightweights, like the Heavies, were plagued with a young and inexperienced team. Not one regular from the previous year's five returned this year. Taking this into consideration the ponies did pretty well, as they ended the practice schedule with a record of live wins and six losses. Tom Darcy and Charley I-Iaffner led the team with 97 and 94 points respectively in the eleven practice contests. Rich Mc.-Xllister, George 1Yebber and Capt. Bob Neylon rounded out the starting five. Edgeworth, Riordan, Ferguson, Cachey, john Webber and Gross were the boys who replaced the starters. 1Yhen the whole season was ended, Darcy was selected second team all-section, while Webber and I-Iaffner made honorable mention. Playing against a highly-touted St. Patrick's five, the Lights won 38-30 in the opening game of the Fenwick Tournament. Paced by Darcy, the Caravan broke into an early lead and was never headed. In the second contest, Carmel was ousted by a sharpshooting De Paul quintet. The ponies did not look forward to a great season, because of inexperience and the fact that Coach Durkin was building for next year. Four of the starters and three of the Iirst live substitutes were either .Iuniors or Sophomores. T. C.-XCHIQY J. WI-IBBFR II. IVFRGLISON bl. GROSS R. FDGFWORTH D. R IORDAN C. H.-XFFNI-XR I R.
