1950 ACADEMY ECHO Basketball 1949-1950 Although Jimmy King’s charges did not have a very impressive record, nevertheless they were not outdone by spirit or teamplay. The seasonal record for the Purple Eagles was 8 wins and 10 losses. Losing five players from last year’s Varsity, we were strengthened by a lineup of promising Jayvees. At the beginning of the season we lost our first three games. Saint Ann’s was our first victim. In the Associate Parochial League we had a record of three wins and one defeat, thus tieing Saint John’s of Al- bany for first place. In a special playoff game at Siena College, Loudonville, Mary’s lost the league lead to Saint John’s by two points, the regulation game ending at 32 all. In overtime Saint John’s netted the hoop for three points, while Saint Mary’s scored only one foul shot. The score of this game was 35 to 33 in favor of Saint John’s. Although the Purple Eagles went down to defeat, they congratulated the win- ners, thus showing the good sportsman- ship taught to them at Saint Mary’s. The annual Alumni game was won by the Alumni who presented an all star team. The Varsity wish to thank the the Alumni for the splendid gifts which they presented to the team and cheer- leaders. The teams of Saint Mary’s wish to thank all those who helped make our season a success, especially Father Lynch and Jimmy King for their guid- ance, the cheerleaders for their splendid cooperation, and Tony Brandi for his excellent work in coaching the Jayvees. The Varsity members: Tom Da- vock, Wade Hayden, John Ryan, A1 De- Luca, John Hallenbeck and Gene Slavin, who leave school this year, wish the following teams of Saint Mary’s all the luck in the world, and hope that they will win the league title soon.
