T is rather with reluctance that school- boy athletes bid farewell to the grid- iron in mid-November and face the pros- pect of the long Winter that must inter- vene before the playing field becomes a diamond. Here at St. Sebastian's, however, Winter's aspect is made considerably bright- er by the anticipation of indoor fand there- fore certainl Hockey at the Skating Club, and by the advent of the Basketball season which converts our spacious cage into a lengthy court for the hoop game. Unlike many other schools, we take up the slack in the sports' cycle by calling out the bas- keteers as soon as the moleskins are put away, and the result is that we are able to get the competitive season under way even before the Christmas vacation. While its rival attraction, Hockey, draws many more candidates than Basketball, the court game always has its own loyal following among those who are surer-footed on dirt or wood than they would be on ice. When Coach Murphy issued the call for all aspiring hoopsters to report for the 1946- 47 season, it was with rather serene optim- ism that he viewed the season ahead of the Red and Black. The preceding year had witnessed the emergence of St. Sebastian's into Grade A court competition, and, from the team that had come through the rigors of that season, graduation had severed only one regular, Captain Dan Sullivan. To lead his new quintet he had Captain jack Crem- men, an outstanding guard who could qual- ify for any prep school team, and in addi- tion he had the experienced services of Bob W5 tial ,Z McNabb, last year's high scorer, Bill Har- wood, a tower of defensive strength, and Hilton Collupy, a polished jump-man. From the j.V.'s of the year before, he knew that he could count on Bob Kelly and Frank Kett to give a good account of themselves and he welcomed the assistance of candi- dates like Andy McAuliffe, johnny Ellard, Dick Watson, Tom Hartnett and Hugh Bradshaw. With a pre-season scrimmage against Browne and Nichols under their belts, our cagers opened the new season here in our own gym on December 6th against Our Lady's of Newton, a local school that has always had a fine Basketball tradition. Hugh Bradshaw started in Dan Sullivan's old slot, but, except for that lone novelty, the rest of the team was the same as that which wore the Red and Black in '45-'46. The contest started off evenly enough with McNabb and Collupy Ending the range early. At the quarter, the 6-6 score was surprisingly low, but in the second period the visitors began to pull away and at half time they led us 16-9. After the rest period we came back to outpoint them 13-12 in the second half, but their edge in the second chapter had done the damage and we had to accept a 28-22 final verdict against us. McNabb and Collupy emerged with four baskets apiece to pace our efforts, while Cremmen added another along with a foul try that was imi- tated by Bradshaw, Kelly and Hefler. The following Tuesday we were quite flattered to find ourselves playing on the
