Varsity Basketball be i SHORT time after the closing of the is iN 1934-35 season, Mr. John Tracy announced Vay his resignation as Athletic Director at St. John's. A successor had to be found. After due M. W. P. MADIGAN deliberation, the authorities selected Mr. William Madigan to fill this position. Coach Madigan's first real task was placed upon his shoulders at the opening of the basketball season. At the first call for men, many responded, but soon the number was cut to about fifteen. With these the Coach spent many hours endeavoring to form a winning team. And on December 9, the smallest team in the history of St. John's took the floor. The Knights won nine and lost eight games in their regular schedule, and in the tourna- ment the team advanced to the finals, there to be defeated by the city champion Woodward team. We, the students of St. John's, salute and thank you, Mr. Madigan, and hope that you will succeed in all your future undertakings. You gave us a team this year of which we could be justly proud and a team that can be placed with the greatest at St. John's. OHN HIGGINS has the rare distinction of being li captain of both the basketball and baseball teams. He has played four years of varsity basketball and three years of varsity baseball. John was the second highest scorer on the basketball team in his junior year and this year he led them. When a sophomore John played his first year of varsity baseball in the outfield. His junior year again found him in the outfield but this year he was shifted to the infield to cover the initial sack. The close of the base- ball season will end his brilliant athletic career at St. John's High School. JOHN HIGGINS page fort y= 5 t2 aor Ga® 4° Siew ee eee eee —ieeeeeet Te ee eh sR 6 ee]
