PATRICK'S girls' team enjoyed a very successful year and, with the constant assistance and able guidance of Sister Martin Clare, displayed the good soprts- manship that is required for a top basketball team. Although very close to attain- ing the championship this year, we feel sure St. Patrick's team next year, with the worthy players that are coming up, will show its true form and capture the Tour- nament. Best of luck next year. GLORIA BURKE '40 Page Fifty-mine

PATRICK'S has this year as always boasted a highly determined team, a team that was haunted by a jinx of losing by a 1 or 2 point margin. The victors in those particular games were highly favored to win by a much greater score, but were almost upset by the determination of the St. Pat's team to make a good showing. In the city tournament our boys drew a bye when the cagers from up around Jupiter Light failed to show up but only to be vanquished in a hard fought game against the powerful Redland squad, the team that ironically enough was the same team which eliminated them the year before. In the state tournament at St. Augustine the Green and White playing their first game on Saturday morning, made a very creditable showing in defeating, in a hotly contested battle, St. Leo's High from the West Coast 26 to 25. On Sunday afternoon they clashed with St. Joe's Flashes of St. Augustine. Until the closing minutes the teams were deadlocked 15 all, but tragedy then struck in the shape of two of St. Pat's top flight players being removed from the game on fouls. VVeakened thusly they fell victims when St. J oe's put on a vicious closing spurt. Finally victor emerging 25 to 20. Although they did not capture the tournament crown they were much in the lime light in that two St. Pat's boys made All State and another was responsible for the winning of the free throw contest.
