Frosh Basketball Frosh Tom Phillips shakes loose for an easy layup, also against O'Connell as Mike Stadtler watches the whole scene with a boyish wonder. Our future basketball stars were as successful, even more so, in some respects, than the Varsity and J.V. In winning the Catholic League with a perfect 8-0 slate, the young Cadets aver- aged a whopping 62 points per game. Even though they were a high-scoring squad, Coach Branson Ferry's emphasis on team play produced no one big star, but three leading scorers, Tom Fisher, Tom Phillips, and Bob Mague, each of whom averaged 14 points. The Squad-Front Row: J. Wyble, W. Phillips, J. Donohoe. Second Row: M. Stadtler, M. Burns, F. Bieber, V. Leonard, R. Smith. Bock Row: Coach Branson Ferry, Manager R. Evans, T. Fisher, J. Nesline, R. Mague, J. Coleman, M. Dunn, Moderator Brother Stephen. :gui

J. V. Basketball Front Row: T. Costello, D. Manfreda, J. Fishburne. Second Row: Brother Justin, Moderator, L. Sevilla, P. McCarthy, W. Kenealy. Third Row: J. Martin, J. Healey, T. Fenlon iff34l. Back Row: Managers J. Moeller and J. Curran, D. Chacos, Coach Bob Reese. Junior Bill Kenealy strains every mighty muscle in scrambling for possession with his outweighed O'Connell opponent as John Martin gleams devilishly at the combatants. Because of abundant talent on the varslty, four Juniors on the squad this year, a fact which proved decisive in this year's ll-l record and third straight C. L. Title. Late starter Pat McCarthy was the leading scorer followed by Soph Don Chacos, while Martin and Kenealy were all around performers.

Intramural Basketball All eyes are on him, as Senior Tom Ralston gets way up for this rebound in one of the Saturday morning games. A tight race developed in the Senior department with the season ending in a triple tie, each team having one loss. However, 4-E finally came out on top by successively beating 4-F and 4-B in the same week. xi Above: This battle under the boards during a 4-B vs. 4-C clash is typical ot the action which took place every Saturday winter morning as intramural basketball players of various shapes and sizes roamed the gym courts seeking victory for their classes. Below: Paul May, St. .lohn's star fullback and shot-putter, shows that he can be right at home on the basketball court as he goes airborne in a iunior tilt. His class, 3-C, won this one and quite a few more to capture the iunior department title.
