y K X K k xi a tc 1 0 fC Q 'ZH 'ilfgzrskethall ' 27 Six men of last year's team formed the nucleus about which Coach Reddington developed the 1926-'27 basketball team, a team which, true to the school tradition, placed St. Mary's among the leaders in the basketball realm. The regular quintet included: Capt. Schwertman, center, Red Devaney, running guardg Jerry Hugger, standing guard, Ray Reilly and Fred Ratterman, forwards. The substitutes were: Clarence Brink, Charles Gruber, Jim Scanlon, John Gallagher, Dennis Hickey, Jack Martin, Hal Pennington, John Kremering and Dan Harland. The season opened rather discouragingly, as two of the first three games were lost by our boys, but these games were only preparatory ones for the championship battle with St. Xavier. St. Mary's played on this occasion a brilliant game, but were unable to defeat the Sycamore Street lads. However, the latter were obliged to work for their victory, and the game resulted in the close score of 18 to 15. Under the leadership of Capt. Schwertman the Blue and Gold took the next two games, and also took a step toward the Catholic championship by making Ham- ilton Catholic High School one of the vanquished. On February 11 they defeated the powerful Norwood team. This game was both fast and exciting, and was one of the most thrilling contests of the season. February 22, 1927 is remembered not only as Washington's birthday, but also as the day when the Blue and Gold met the Blue and White to fight it out, with the Catholic championship at stake. A capacity crowd attended, and they were not dis- appointed, for they witnessed one of the most thrilling contests played on local courts this year. Once more the Blue and Gold displayed some beautiful basketball, and hadlthe game with a five point lead when, in the last quarter, the gods were propitious to their opponents, who scored 12 points and won the game. ' The team finished the season with a glorious victory over the Alumni. SCORE: St. Mary's . . . Mt. Healthy . . . St. Mary's .. Ohio Mechanics St. lVIary's . . Immaculata . . . . St. Mary's ..
