EIGHT OF THE TEN MAN SQUAD get their group picture taken before the final game. They are: Left to Right-Front Row: Robert Adams, James Neary, Stan Griffiths, lsrael Ruiz. Back Row: William Mc- Laughlin, Nick Saunders, Ber- nard Reilly, Bob Grettler. Ab- sent were Simmons and Stell. The Frosh travelled each day to practice in a local public school gym. Often, they could not practice at all and had to play some games after a week away from needed practice sessions. They did extremely well desnite difficulties. THREE RICEMEN, below, had this shot well covered. They're McLaughlin, Neary and Reilly. Neary was shooting one of his deadly one-handers. He had a 10.6 points per game average and was a leading playmaker. -4 Fre hmen lla kethall The Freshmen team's record this season left all Rice fans with high hopes of a future basket ball powerhouse. The ten man squad finished sixteen games with ll wins and 5 losses in sea son play. Only two of the losses were league games, and with eight league victories, Rice earned a spot in the Championship playoffs. De tails of this appear in the final school paper. The squad did a tremendous amount of scor ing for a Freshman team. They outscored their opponents by 33 points, piling up a season tota of 751 points, an average of 47 per game. Vic tories included wins over St. Helena's, Xavier O.L.G.C., Power, Dubois and Bergen Catholic Neary, Simmons, Saunders and Reilly all tallied over TOO points each, with little Jim Neary tops at 170. All will move to the J.V. next year where they'll get much more experience. With limited practice sessions this year, they have done amaz ingly well. Next year should really see a cham pionship squad. BILL McLAUGHLIN and Bernie Reilly team up to keep the ball away from two Hayesmen, at left. Br. Vranka's boys played both Hayes Annexes twice and were victorious in all four games. Their only league losses were two games to La Salle. The other three defeats came from Manhattan ltwicel and Archbishop Molloy.
