Great quintets since '47 . . . but none were greater. Varsit i :lskethall Since 1947, St. Anselm Basketball fans have watched a number of great quintets come and gog but none was greater than the '50-'51 squadg none have written such a colorful chapter in the college sports annals. This season can truthfully be adjudged the best in Hilltop Hoop Histo1'y. It was a season that saw the Hawks vanquish each of its traditional rivals: Boston College Q63-571, Providence College Q81-6-H, St. Mich- ael's Q57-44-J Dartmouth Q53-422, and the University of New Hampshire Q58-4-9b. It was a season too that saw the Colby Classic at Boston Garden, one of the most exciting contests ever staged in that arena, and one that re-established St. Anselm's as a Sports power in New England. In this season toog Captain Billy O'Connor emerged as one of the true greats in college basketball. His courage, sportsmanship, and unfailing good nature are already a legend at St. A's. And mention must be made too of such stars as Bobby Willitlnls team' sparkplug and ace defenseman, Bart Lavin the new Cousy , Gus D'Orazio and Chuck Duffley, the team's portable vaude- ville show. Valuable assistance was given the starting five by Zyg Leocha, Fran O5Neil, Ray Stauder, Bob Davolio, Woody Stone, and Charlie Toracinta. No tri- bute could be complete without mention of Coach Al Grenert, whose severe but skillful handling welded these men into our greatest team. . . . joy reigned as the wings of tbe Eagles were clipped at last.

. . . in the midst of the fray Zyg Leoclmis long frame contributed much to victory ..... while at the bench, cheers followed every play . . . until victory at last was ours. Beginning the season with a bang, the Hawks deva- stated Merrimack College 91-43 and swept through Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Bates, Stonehill and New Bed- ford before meeting with defeat----that at the hands of powerful Wheaton College. Five more victoris were added to the win column before the Hawks again tasted defeat, this time by Arnold College and St. Michael's. Spreading their wings again the Hawks notched ten victories out of the next twelve games to end the season with 21 wins and only 5 losses. The top game of the season was of course the Colby contest in Boston Garden, a game pulled out of the fire in the last second of play, and one that made sports headlines. 23:2- IHWYY- -1777 V
