C. 8 St. Francis Prep. 2 Arriving in Providence on Sunday morning, March 3l, from New York via boat, the St. Francis Prep hockey team was greeted by Rev. Brother Adelard, generalissimo of Mount Hockey affairs, and other school dignitaries. The team was the guest at the Hilltop Institute until game time in the afternoon. Going into the contest with a winning streak over a two-year period, marred by one tie, the New Yorkers retained supreme confidence in themselves. However, their attitude vanished soon after they glimpsed our fast-skating Canadian trio on the first line. Displaying their usual systematic goal-scoring parade, the Mounties racked up four goals apiece in the first periods. Lemire high-lighted the offense drive by tallying four times, Tremblay dented the cords thrice, and Co-Capt. Belanger ac- counted for the other goal. - . Through the victory, Rev. Brother Adelard and his colorful Flying-Frenchmen laid claim to the National Schoolboy Hockey crown, St. Francis having been the only school north, east, south, or west to accept a bid to attempt to dethrone the Woonsocketeers.

gXCElS E I0 'Y xx 0 wx-f-r ...- BASEBALL SQUAD With a new coach at its helm and many new faces in its line-up, the Saints' baseball team set out with high hopes of conquering all other teams in the Class B loop, Mr. Raymond Vaudreuil, basketball and football coach, succeeded Mr. Louis Lepine as this year's baseball coach. Asbie Jolin, starting his third year at third base, was unanimously elected captain of the team. Six lettermen remained from the l939 outfit, namely: Red Dusablon, shortstop, Asbie Jolin, third base, Joe Perreault, catcher, Al Gregoire and Jules Guy, out- fielders, and John McNamara and Walt McPherson, pitchers. The biggest losses were Dick Rondeau's ineligibility and Gus Galipeau's departure to the St. Louis Cardinal's training camp in Florida. ln the infield, Bob Cormier took over the duties of first baseman, and Marcel Peloquin, a capable youngster, took over the second base obligations. Roger Mande- ville has been retained as a pitcher. The other members of the squad are: Jim Murphy, John Carr, Leo McDuff, Gerard Roberts, Fred St. George, and William Heffernan. The Mount was nosed out 3-2 in the first test of the season against La Salle Academy. In the Class B games, the team has toppled Sacred Heart lO-l, but were beaten 5-4 by St. Raphael's in extra innings These few games have given the M. S. C. fans high hopes for a successful season.
