Bones Kavanaugh helped the cause by being chief setup man that is when he wasnt draping his body over the opponents. Under the wing-spread ol the Eagles Cap- tain Enright led his quintet through many battles and although he did not turn out as the champ his team was composed of several excellent baslceteers. Spaghetti Cantieri and No Air Gladstone were two sell-supporting members who are also noted for their refereeing. Very few fouls were ever called on these two.

Once more the ping-pong tables are set up and the season is declared open to table tennis. After weeks of pounding the celluloid to and fro, the CANDLE spread the news of Sophomore Taylor's victory. Taylor came through for his first school crown. He has a chopping style and never allows himself to be deceived by the tricks of his opponents. A powerful smash was always held in readiness. As a matter of fact, this is the first time in many years that a lower ' P P f- classman has won the school crown. ln the playoffs, Freshman Smyth, Junior Helfrich, and Senior Tom Henry won the prize in their divisions. Ping-Pong is by far the most-attended and well-liked event of the year. It has no require- ments as to size and strength of the player and draws practically all the students of the school, both for pleasure and practice. As in former years, Father Sieger opened the tournament with the usual fanfare, but because there was no fourth year class for one quarter fdue to the early graduation of fifth yearl, there were only four finalists, instead of the ordinary five. This is a sport which never has a dull moment and is one of the favorite of priests and seminarians alike. M9
