INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Intramural basketball, under the supervision of Mr. Stan Wisniewski, hit a new high this year due to the increase in enroll¬ ment. This program en¬ ables the less-able or in¬ eligible students to par¬ ticipate in athletics. Nearly as much spirit is shown in the intramural contests as in the varsity games. 1 1 1 fliA f A1 Cantieri’s Yanks outscored the unbeaten Packers, captained by Jerry Diver, in the final game of the I-M tourney, 32 J.

Captains are chosen by Coach Dick Scharf, and Mr. Stan Wisniewski from among the better varsity and intramural players. These captains then choose their teams and the tourney draws are made. The winning team is awarded by hav¬ ing the players’ names engraved on a trophy that is kept at school. This year’s tourney is just past the second round. Of the sixteen teams participating, only Eder, Diver, Mclnnis, and McDermott remain. Interest in the tourney was great this year; competition ran high and feeling strong. One of the Academy’s most coveted honors is for an athlete to have his name inscribed on the trophy of champions. Page seventy-two

BASEBALL 1945 SEASON With the majority of the starting men lacking experience in the diamond sport, the Puma-Cubs met defeat in the majority of their games. However, in every encounter, they demonstrated the fighting spirit typical of all Scharf-coached teams. They lost games, but they were never beaten in spirit. S. J. A. 12—Brook 1 The Cub nine opened the season with a bang by swamping the Brook sluggers. Confidence soared high for the Academy team. Both the teams and the fans ex¬ pected much from the green rookies after this first important victory. S. J. A. 0—Jefferson 4 Defeat at the hands of the powerful Lafayette Bronchos dampened the spir¬ its of the local nine only slightly. They began to realize that they were plagued with inexperience, the big bugbear, and lack of hitting power. Page seventy-four m
