PM-UML 'Since the BronCoeds remained undefeated throughout the entire season, they are entitled To par- ticipate in the play-offs. A team had to be defeated twice before it could be eliminated. The first game featured the Bron- Coeds vs. Mt. Carmel, Fair play and sportsmanship were the high- lights of this game. When the final whistle blew, the score was 25-16 in favor of St. Stanislaus. The following Sunday, the Bron- Coeds encountered the girls of Annunciation. Having met this team before, the BronCoeds were pre- pared for a 'trying and difficult game. Annunciaticn had the height, but St. Stanislaus had better players. Again the Bron-Coeds ended in a victory, with a score of 17-10. On Sunday, March 31, St. Stanislaus was scheduled to play Dominican High for the first time. The teams were evenly matched, both possessing trained basket- ball players. Since Dominican had the height in their guards, the BronCoed forwards had to use more plays in order to cutsmart them. The final outcome was in favor of St. Stanislaus sextet, 16-15, after a very close game. The next game was to be deciding, since Dominican had one loss and the BronCoeds did not have any. Lady luck must have been with the girls of Dominican High, since they took the game with the score of 25- 13. Both teams had one loss now, so another game had to be played to decide the winner of the trophy. For the third time we witnessed a game featuring the two strongest teams of the league. A game was never as tense and exciting as this one. At the half the score of the game was 12-6 in favor of Dominican High. This, however, did not stop the BronCoeds for they started the second half with their spirits renewed and with full determination to win. Basket after basket was scored until the game finally ended in a tie, 17-17. The BronCoeds were forced into a three-minute overtime. The teams went out on the floor to play and again at the end of this time, the score was a tie, 19-19. In the next three minutes of play Dominican scored two baskets and in this manner the game ended, 23- 19. Thus ended the season of 1945-46. PLAY-OFFS WE THEY March 17--Mt.

Jfwf flzarnpa, 0 The season of T945-46 was one that will not be forgotten by many Stanislausians, for it was the year in which the BronCoeds had a winning streak of I9 winnings. lt is true they did not bring in the C.Y.O. trophy, but the remarkable season brought hopes of attaining it in the future. This is only the second year that the BronCoed Sextet are entered in the C.Y.O. league. For a team that is in its prime they have done exceedingly well and in many instances they were far superior than many a team in the city. They are the only team in the league that holds a clean record of 9 winnings in the Central Division. C.Y.O.

They met these respective teams in play: Nativity, St. Am- Ptwe 64 brose, St. Paul and St. Rita. Opposition was strong, but St, Stanislaus came out on top. This league not only consisted of Varsity teams, but also of Reserve teams. The few reserve games that were played were won by the BronCoed Reserve team. A trophy was awarded to the players at a banquet sponsored by the runners-up.

This was the reason why St. Stanislaus had such a glorious season. The forwards excelled many teams with their various shots and the guards with their ex- cellent ability in disrupting the opponents' plays. Jeanette Kolodzieiski and Marian Jost were proud to be captains of such a remarkable team. On their departure they wish the remaining BronCoeds success in the future, lvlay they continue to bring victories to dear St. Stanislaus High!

V, ww, daound jim, Bama, O Last but not least on the St. Stanislaus athletic program is baseball. For many years our school has successfully competed in softball. Then in the spring of l945, it was decided that we should enter baseball competition. Thus a club was formed under the tutorship of Coach Freckles Butkowski. lnexperience got the best of us as we faced strong oppo- sition from St. Ladislaus, St. Catherine, DeLaSalle and Catholic Central. The season was none too successful as all but one game was dropped. The Broncos hope to do better in league competition this year with most of last year's first team returning. The schedule for the season of T946 was as fol- lows: April April May May May May May May 25-Orchard Lake ........ 30-Catholic Central 3-St. Catherine ...... 7-St. Joseph .....,.
