'The Alumni, with an imposing array of stars, 'had the game in hand until the last quarter, when the students crept up and tied the score as the final whistle blew. In the overtime period Lourdes won, 20-19. In the third game we met Menom- inee High in their own back-yard and were sent home on the short end of a 25-7 score by a squad of giants. The next game proved still more disas- trous to the Orange. They met Mar- inette High on December 14. Mari- nette was in a winning mood and anxious to show some scoring ability. They sifted through our defense to pile up 28 points to our 9. ln the fifth game, with St. Mary's at Oshkosh, we looked good and seemed favored to put over a win, but we were doomed to disappointment, fortune deciding the game 27-23 in St. Mary's favor. We came north again and took Stephenson High into camp during the holiday vacation on our own floor by 25-16. On Thursday, january 10, St. Peter's of Oshkosh came north and met the locals in a close game 'which was spiced with many thrills. The game was undecided, both sides playing hard ball, although Lourdes led, until the closing seconds when Coach Jensen's iquintette emerged the YUENGER fwinners-the .score being I6-13. POQUETTE On January 30, we were outscored by the tall St. Norbert's squad, who piled up seventeen points to our five. - 0 '1----- 3 4-----1 OL-w.m-J192 91 J OL 1 Q L 5 5 L --1-, -lNiuefylf

The other veteran who has starred at center and guard was Bruce Poquette, popular because of his gentlemanly ways and clean, hard- iighting sportsmanship. Among the new men who played with the Irish in the past year was Ed. Guay, a hap- py-go-lucky man who could always be counted upon to produce another point or to stop that mann. The pivot position was generally occupied by Clement Yuenger, the handsomest man in school, whose performance has always been marked by steady en- deavor. Aylward Powers has held a variety of positions and functioned perfectly in all of them. We have now assembled the galaxy of stars that represented the Alma Mater, and are now ready to review a few of the games. First, it must be said, and can be said without try- ing to alibi, in all justice to the team that their defeats were due more to the lack of favorable omens than poor playing. Many of the games were lost by one point and all by small margins, which the opponents usually piled up in a thirty-second concluding rally. No chronicle of the team of ,ZQ would be complete without adding that this team was the longest-shooting quintette performing this year. Thev hold the Hoor rec- ords in most of the gyms in which they played. oftentimes sinking them over three-quarters of the Hoof. On November RO the Irish opened their season by journeying to Crivitz and being outscored in the last ten seconds of play, being forced to return defeated. 20-2l.
