POSSESSION Captain jack Cremmen gets one off at the St. Mark's basket. victorious leader and Tom Hartnett to- gether with one pointers by Dave McSorley and Sam Hefler carried the day. For the vanquished, Hugh Bradshaw's 8 and Bob Kelly's 6 were tops, for Captain Collupy's best was a hard-won 5. Andy McAuliffe and Sophomore Bill Brooks made their presence felt by 2 markers and Johnny Ellard boosted the Blue total with a singleton. Harwood's triumph was a popular one because the con- test was his final Red-Blue court appear- ance, while Collupy has other years in which to make a more successful bid. As we survey the 1946-47 season in retro- spect, its record of six victories in nineteen contests is not an impressive one. How- ever, it certainly must be pointed out that the lads who wore the Red and Black were called upon to face an arduous schedule that found them deprived of last year's high scorer, Bob McNabb, before half the cam- paign was completed. Despite this handi- cap, the Arrows gave St. Sebastian's loyal and courageous representation on the court both at home and abroad and made new friends for the School in the athletic world. No quintet could ever hope to have a finer leader than we possessed this year in john Cremmen, and his indomitable spirit served to inspire his team at all times. Working at the other guard position, Bill Harwood was a defenseman par excellence, while Hilton Collupy's play at the pivot post was tireless and exercised a steadying influence on young forwards like Kelly, Shea, Kett and Carey. Loyalty to St. Sebastian's induced Andy McAuliffe and johnny Ellard to rally to the cause, just as it prompted Dick Wat- son, Hugh Bradshaw, Tom Hartnett, Dave McSorley and others to give their talent to our quintet. St. Sebastian's has reason to be proud of them individually and as a group, for at all times they proved themselves to be athletes worthy of representing the School's high ideals of Christian sportsman- ship.
