TEAM Racking up a better record than the varsity’s, the Cub B-Team repeat¬ ed their last season’s performance of winning fifteen straight games. Coach Scharf’s scrappy reserves have not dropped a contest in the last thirty starts. This record has brought the B-Team, usually only a training field for the varsity material, into the foreground of St. Joe basketball. Puma-Cub rooters can be fairly certain that St. Joe will be well repre¬ sented on the hardwood in the future years, for the B-Team has enough height, drive, and scoring power to provide Coach Scharf with plenty of varsity ability. Boasting a good defense the team scored 499 points to their opponents’ 288. Don Mclnnis, Chuck McDermott, and Jack Bush led the “B Boys’ ” scoring. Senior John Thieme was elected honorary captain for the season. Other members of this undefeated team are Gene Hartlage, Steve Dulack, John Raster, Bob Doud, Bob Woodcock, Bill Kannapel, and Lee Hess.
