The winning team was made up of the following players: Jack O'Brien, captaing McDermott, Silvain, J. Ho-gan, G. Messner, McDonald.

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.

It comprised four teams of snappy, scrappy hoop artists, who were too small to turn out for regular basketball squads. The captains of the teams included in this division were: Cebula, Camp-bell, Taylor, and Maher. ' At the beginning of the season, Taylor led the field, but when Cebula added Farrar, a consistent basket-thrower,, to his fighting squad, this team fought its way from third to Hrst place and remained there throughout the season. This league played itsfgames during the period from 12:30 to 1:05, the regular noon recess. Limited time necessitated the shortening of che contests somewhat, but this only tended to make themimore inter- esting because of the spirit and fight disp-layed by the various teams. On the winning team, Cebula was captain, and guard, Farrar played center, Crogan forward, White forward, and Tuttle guard.
