gwlfelgaf Swan By RAYlXlOND YAKSICII On November 18, 1946, the walls of the auditorium fairly shook as the St. Benedict Ravens went through their first practice of the 1946 basketball season. The future looked dismal as the team was put through its paces. After less than a month of practice, the Ravens took the floor in their first league contest of the season. Game after game this small St. Benedict team surprised many by meeting their opponents under heavy odds and emerging with striking victories. The Ravens entered a pre-season tournament and performed brilliantly to capture two out of three games, thereby winning a third place trophy. Although the team was hampered by a lack of height and by inexperienced players, they played a total of 21 games, winning 9 while losing 12. St. Anthony, De LaSalle, and St. Catherine, who are among the top ranking first division schools, fell in defeat to the Ravens. The students and all the followers of St. Benedict lligh knew well the handicaps of this hard-fighting team, yet they backed them with all their energy and this proved to be a major factor in the performance of the team. The season was climaxed by the annual juniora Senior game which was creating a high spirit of rivalry between the competing classes. The contest proved very thrilling with screaming action during the entire first half. Neither team was able to go ahead by more than two or three baskets. However, at the second half, the Seniors jumped to an early lead and were never able to be stopped. The final score was 53 to 28. We are looking forward to a very successful next year's season from this fast rising Junior squad. Although the Juniors have a great advantage in height, they will miss the consistent hard lighting of the five Seniors who draw the final curtain on their high school basketball career.
