.. . sf 1 1 fm' 5 S F'?t1YI1 5 'B 'T uLo. A ., For the first time in W.N.Y. sports history, a golf league has been formed by the Catholic High Schools of the district. S.J.C.l., Canisius, Holy Angels, Timon, Duffy and St. Francis comprised this group which commenced action on May 2nd. Under the ,able direction of Brother Christian, F.S.C., St. .loe's will attempt to make a name for itself in this new branch of athletics. Although the competition for berths on the initial squad was keen, Kevin Walker, Arthur Weber, .lohn Leahy, Bob Evers, .lack Sweeney, Bob Taggart, Dick Hoffman and Bob Downing proved to be the cream of the crop. Experience will be the big factor in most of the matches. Kev Walker, team captain, received adequate seasoning last year by representing the Frontier region in a state iunior tourney, held at Poughkeepsie. Weber, who frequents the Park Club, holds down the im- portant second position. The anchor men for the Marauders were Jack Leahy and Bob Evers. Brother Christian continually drilled the teesters at nearby Delaware Park and his efforts bore fruit as these four veterans led the Maroon to more than their share of victories. As was expected, Capt. Walker lived up to pre-season ravings as he, in an early season contest, upset highly touted Dan Mattimore of H.A.C.l. Capt. Kevin Walk The l95l version should again make St. Joe's a sport giant. Juniors Jack Sweeney, Bob Ta art and Soph Bob Downing have steadily been perfecting the most difficult shots that 99 were encountered in a match. With congratulations to the present group, we wish good luck to our next representa- tives in the new Golf League. Weber, R. Downing, Evers, Walker, Taggart
