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.

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

lntramural Volleyball That's not a b-ball, it's a v-ballp and our boy is not arched for a shot. Art Dalton's chicos of 2-E are trying to get the missile not through the cords but over them. A new innovation in our expanding intramural program is volleyball professionally iudged by frere F. Leo and hermano A. Edward inside the gym daily from the lion month to late May. Hundreds of Cadets have taken active part in the net battles. This crew from 2-G looks mighty determined to get that ball across the net. New season volleyball games gave everybody a chance to play and of all the sports went the farthest towards developing team- work. The close of the year found 2-E with a winning record on top of the sophomore department, and 1-D holding sway among the freshmen. Admirably caught in a fleeting maneuver, Luis Sevilla of the land of 2-G ships the ball back after a fast service. Unfortunately the volley- ball season began too late to include the upper classes on the schedule but the freshmen and sophomores thoroughly enioyed the variety and action offered by this fast moving sport.
