Although tion for the players and swarmed about on the field during game time. On the basis of their keenly interested in the outcome of the league games, many showed little considera- form in the few games played, we would name the following as the better of the players: Voll- mayer, Burnor, Cousino, Meng, Leyland, Reed, Oatis, Driscoll, and Gerold. No standings were posted because of the scarcity of games. BASKETBALL The basketball league enjoyed a highly successful season. Each noon it afforded enter- tainment for a large part of the student body that gathered in Westminster Gym to witness the games. All the contests were fast and exciting with the outcome in doubt until the final whistle. The students evidenced their approval of the league by their faithful attendance at the games. At the close of the regular season a tournament was held. The winners in their respective divisions were 4B and 2B. Due to the great amount of material each room had at its disposal these were made pre-tournament favorites, both running true to form. The 4B team under the leadership of Bill Speer, played remarkable ball throughout the tourney, sweeping all opposition aside. On their march to the championship they defeated 4A, 36-15, and then romping over 3B, they came to the finals and defeated 3A, 32-22. In the junior division 2B disposed of their foe much the same as did the 4B team. To gain their title they beat IA, 63- 4, 1B, 23-3, and 2A, 25-10.

JOHN'S is again represented this year by a fine golf team, and with six lettermen returning, has an excellent chance of being near the top of the standings when the season closes. St. John's had its greatest squad in 1930, when they won the city championship and then went on to become state champions. And every year thereafter, a group of fine golfers represented the school. Last years squad was coached by Mr. E. J. O'Connor, S. J., and compiled a noteworthy record. sai ail Uy es TRA ROY This year the golfers are under the tutelage of Coach Madigan. This group is a veteran one composed of John Hackett, Joseph Hartmann, John Kumler, Paul Effler, Emery Alex, and Walter Conklin. Every one of these men, with the exception of Hartmann, was on the squad last year and is an experienced player. This is Hartmann's first year and although lacking in experience, he has shown fine form in the first few games and promises to be a great aid. The first match was a two game affair with the Knights playing Vocational and Wood- ward. The Knights defeated Vocational 14! , to 3! in the first match and then downed Woodward in the other half of the match I5! to 2! p. The next contest found the Knights beating Central | I, to 6l and downing Waite 12 to 6. Hackett was low scorer with a 79.
