The BENEDICTUM Leo's were defeated I7 to 9, followed. The Orange and Black then met Lourdes of River Rouge, defeating them I7 to IO for the fourth consecutive league win. With the most difficult part of the schedule remaining, grim determination gripped the team. St. Joseph's triumphed over our live 32 to 22, but were later forced to erase this victory and favor us 2 to o. Ineligibility of a player caused the forfeit. With two regulars out, the Orange and Black took on the St. Theresa quintet and went down under a 48 to I3 defeat. In the league closing contest St, Frederickis took a rough game by a 30 to 22 score. In the outside games De La Salle, Highland Park, and St. Mary of Mt. Clemens won two games each. The Alumni suffered defeat and some days later Redeemer took a non-league contest. St. Mary of Royal Oak and St. Benedict each won a single game, as did Visitation and St. Benedict. St. Leo's then brought a revamped team to St. Benedict and were defeated for the second time this season. St. Theresa High, league champions and victors in a previous encounter, met St. Benedict in a return game. St. Theresa's won this game by a 24 to 16 score.

BASKETBALL RECORD Shortly after the football togs had been placed in storage, the basketball candi- dates presented themselves. Nine of those appearing were retained for regular service throughout the season. With seven veterans as a nucleus and good reserve material, hopes for a suc- cessful season were high. Storen, Desmond, Sayers, Schearer, and L. Murphy proved to be the team,s sharpshooters, with Bliss, O'Connell, J. Eardly, and Mulli- gan close behind. The team went through the league schedule tasting defeat but thrice in the ten games played. Fourteen outside games were also arranged, but due to the high class of opposition met, only four of this number were victories. The games in the Greater Detroit Catholic League began when the St. Agnes fave came to our gym and were handed a I4 to 9 defeat. St. Ambrose High came next and were vanquished zo to 12. Traveling to Wyandotte for the next contest, our Hve suffered their first defeat to the St. Patrick Eve by a 37 to 24 score. St. Catherine's suffered defeat a few days later by a 23 to 19 score. This game was no less hotly contested than the following, in which St. Mary,s of Red- ford went down under a 16 to I4 count. A rather listless game, in which St. Page Forty
