Lang-Silvain Gillis-O,Loane-McCoy BASKETBALL LE GUE WINNERS 1 '1 1 O the victors belong the spoils. In keeping with that statement, we are justified in giving just a little distinction to the winners in each division of the Basketball League, the most interesting and popular intramural sports organization at St. Martin's. With an idea of giving due justice to the other teams, we will say that the winners did not enjoy walk-aways or set-ups, but they showed just enough stuff to make them rate first place. Cap-tain O'Loane, Gillis, Lang, McCoy, Shanley, L. Lyons, and Hughes, who com- posed the winning team of the A division, were pretty well masters of their field throughout the tournament, but they silently sent forth many prayers immediately be- fore they made any attacks on Schaecker's scrappy gang. In the B division, Captain O'Brien, McDermott, Silvain, J. Hogan, C. Messner, and McDonald, experienced considerable difficulty, worry, and embarrassment before they were officially p-ronounced winners. The end of the season found O'Brien and Keenan tied for first place. Both couldn't be first, so a play-off game was arranged. Right at this point the afore-mentioned agonies were painfully evident. The situation wasn't relieved any until the Hnal whistle. O'Brien had won-9-8. . A similar dilemma predominated in the C division. Captain Cebula, Farrar, Crogan, and Tuttle nosed out L. Campbell's outfit to occupy the top berthlff c ' f .Jn McDermott-Silvnin WhlfC-lrilffill' Mcssncr--O'Bricn-McDonnld Crognn-Cfbula-Tut IIC . l 1

St- fy .3 Hammersmith-Messner-Starkel--Hunter-Gates-Young Boyle-Taylor-Garrecht-Cunningham-Frei MI OR LEAGUE 1 Y 1 OT to be outdone by their larger and older schoolmates, the younger boys who were interested in football were organized in the Minor League. Like the Majors, the Minors were divided into three teams: Princeton, cap-tained by Monahan, Yale, by Burke, and Harvard, by O'Loane. Many interesting and highly amusing battles took place when these little fellows put on their war paint. ' Father Gerald arranged the schedule for the teams and succeeded in keeping the youngsters in perfect order. His schedule included about ten games for each team. While so-me of the contests ended with one or the other team far in the lead, most of them ended with close scores, and some were tied. After the season was over and the dust of the b-attles had cleared away, Captain Burke and his Yale team, with six victories, three defeats, and one tie, were declared winners. Those on this team were: Burke, captain, Frei, Corwin, Prendergast, Lee, Gar- recht, Srarkel, Gates, Young, Hunter, Hoefer, Taylor, and Boyle. As a reward for their efforts and success, each of these boys'was presented with a small football letter at the banquet which was held in the college dining room at the close of the football season. We sincerely hope that at least some of these boys will soon be regular squad members. Mackl?Theisen-J. Campbell--Driscoll-Regimbal McCoy-Boehm-O'Loane-Walsh-Ive McDonald-White-Maher-L.

SKETBALL M 'S LEAGUE 1 1 1 HE basketball Av League-consisting of five teams--was organized in December by Father Philip and Father Gerald. The captains whose teams compose the circuit were O'Loane, Schaecker, Bruce, Sloan, and McAnerney. The letter-winning team, led by Red O'Loane, were: Gillis, Lange, McCoy, Shanley, L. Lyons, and Hughes. Attendance at the games was always good, due to the hot spirit of rivalry between the teams and the high class basketball displayed. The offensive and defensive play and the united teamwork of the leading teams would do credit to any basketball team. The games were so closely fought and theiplayers so intensely interested in Victory that the league could not fail to arouse enthusiasm among the students. The season was divided into six parts, or series. One series consisted of four games for each club, every team played at least o-ne game with the other four basket fslinging aggregations. 'The season, lasting three months, was brought to a successful close during the first part of March. The competent and unbiased officials who refereed the majority of the games were Matty Schaff, Dean Messner and Mike Contris. i.
