Lefty Forand's clinching the championship game by recovering a costly fumble? 3. Colucci's 60-yard dash to the paydirt stripes? 4. Iim Connors' 75 yarder against St. Pats of Boston? Under the careful guidance of the Reverend Brother Michael, the intramural football for '50 got off to a roaring start. Guided by Ed. Hicks, Boston College annexed the championship crown. ln the runner-up position Was Holy Cross, paced by Captain Bud St. Peter. In num- ber three spot Was Notre Dame captained by lim Connors. lt was a tight contest right to the Wire With every team giving its utmost. With Ed. Hicks' locomotive power on the ground, Paul Foley's slingshot arm, and Bingo Cum- mings' glue-tipped fingers, Boston College man-- aged to survive the constant threats of their op- ponents. With the superb playing of Captain Bud St. Peter and Bud Tatro, Holy Cross was able to capture second place. Iim Connors' Notre Dame eleven ended in the third position slightly behind Holy Cross. The best defensive players were Lefty Forand and Mike Connor. The best offensive players were Ed. Hicks and Bud Tatro. We sincerely hope that next year's football enthusiasts will come up to par with this year's gridiron greats.

lfl fI 6Llflfllfl,l 6L BASKETBALL This year's hoopsters under the direction of Brother Elisee thundered down the court for a thrilling season which culmin- ated in a championship crown which rested on the heads or 'Williams and his team-mates. Fifty-one's basketballers all showed plenty of pep and hustle while on the court, and the first tive teams which figured in the play-offs were really de- serving ot the laurels bestowed on them, for their fighting spirit and a fine brand of play. Those who follow in '52 will have quite a mark to equal, a mark set by a swell bunch of fellows and a credit to the Academy. ALI.. STAR lst Team 2nd Team R. F. I. Colucci R. Forand L. F. B.
