Boarmcn green wave About South Si:le's B basketball team, it may be said that a tew more points per game would have made the Green Wave's season a success. As it was, Prep League play saw the Wave win one game from Central Catholic, 39-29, but lose the return engagement, 29-27. St. Louis U. High won twice, 23-19 and 30-23, as did C. B. C., 27-20 and 26-22, and McBride, 32-20 and 25-14. In non-league contests the Wave defeated Roosevelt, 12-6, Cathedral, 32-19, St. Stephen, - S h t 16-13 McKinle , 28-15, and 25-24, and St. Peter, 25 23.

Prep League play proved disastrous. McBride gained two verdicts, 16-11 and 36-22, as did St. Louis U. High, 23-18 and 24-12, and Central Catholic, 27-16 and 35-17. C. B. C. had to be content with one win, 14-9. The Green Ripple gained its only League decision by sinking C. B. C., 17-10. midgetsbmb .L --. . . Although composed ot South Side's smallest freshmen, the Midget basketball team, never- theless, proved big enough to absorb a man-sized schedule ot 24 games. The Midgets, display- ing creditable skill and spirit, won 12 games from such teams as St. Francis de Sales, St. Margaret, and St. Thomas Aquinas. Top picture, lst. row: R. Mitchell, D.

Exler, G Sohzn-le VV4-hrle R Grill'-lc Ce- aentwurq l Snrewsi .Q varsity Led by eagle-eyed Don Schultz, center on the South Side, all-Prep, and all-District basketball teams, the Dragon varsity cage squad fought its way to undisputed possession of second place in the Prep League. South Side thumped Central Catholic twice, 29-27 and 4l-25. C. B. C. also came out on the short end ot the score twice, 28-l5, and 25-24. McBride won its tirst encounter with the Dragons 36-33, but lost the second set-to, 28-23. The Dragons, however, found their nemesis in St. Louis U. High, the Prep League champs. Both games with the lunior Bills were lost, 25-23 and 37-30. Contests ot the non-league variety found South Side winning four and losing tive. Southwest was submerged, 40-l7, the Alumni were edged out, 3l-30, Westerri Military was deteated, 22-17, and Cathedral bowed, -42-33, The red-ink side ot the record, however, shows that the Dragons lost to Roosevelt, 24-20, McKinley, 23-22, Central, -23-34, St. Peter, 20-15, and Eeaurncnt, 24-20. ln the opening game ot the Normandy Tournament, Ritenour edged out the Dragons, 32-29. Consolation play saw South Side trounce Roosevelt, 35-21 and lose to McBride, 34-23. The Dragons were seeded first in the University Cllf-' reglonal tournament, and things looked promislrig when South Side disposed of Unlversrtf: City, -25-l5, and Eureka 3l-l3. But Webster Groves snpped by the Dragons, 3-Q-33 A rneasure of oonsolafion was gained when South Side won the third place trophy defeating C.

Inter-scholastic and Intra-mural Boxing South Side's annual boxing tournaments, it seems, become bigger and bet- ter every year. And this year's slugfest, the sixth ot the annual tournaments held thus lar, was by all means one ot the best. Starting on March 18, boxing cards were held every Tuesday and Thursday up to the finals on April 7. Between cards, Brother lames Powers, director of the tournament, tound time to run oft two inter-scholastic boxing meets with Missouri Military Academy and the high school champions of south- eastern Missouri. These inter-scholastic meets, incidentally, were the first ever to be held in the St. Louis district. The encounter with Missouri Military Academy saw the Dragon boxing team take nine of eleven bouts. On the other hand, the southeastern Missouri champs were able to gain a 4-4 tie with South Side. Tournament finals, carded a few days after the second box- ing meet, were all that could be asked for in points of interest, color, and showmanship. As each pair of final- 5 ists stepped into the ring in new robes and trunks, the ring lights were darkened and the boxers Q names were announced as colored spotlights ' played upon them.
