Paulie Peterson struggles vainly to snare a rebolmd while Fred Reeping looks on. BASKETBALL With all seven lettermen returning and with several promis- ing freshman prospects, Coach Dodo Canterna was understand- ably optimistic in his preview of the 1960-61 St. Vincent basket- ball squad. For the most part, however, the Bearcats never seemed to intermesh at the clutch periods as they wrapped up the season with a disappointing 7 and 13 record. As in football, there were bright moments in spite of the disappointments. Two of the most rewarding games were the encounters in which the ,Cats drubbed Mount St. Mary's, one of the top-ranked small college teams, and St. Francis. The triumph against the Frankies marked the first time in history that the Bearcats had beaten their arch-rivals at the Jaffa Mosque. When they trounced Mount St. Mary's in the season's second encounter between the two schools, it marked the first time that St. Vincent had ever beaten a Mountaineer squad. The season saw Captain Paulie Peterson finish out his col- lege career as one of the all-time Bearcat basketeer greats. It likewise saw sophomore Fred Reeping's departure from the team because of academic difficulties. With Peterson and Reep- ing out of the lineup, junior Bob Belan displayed his potential as he played superbly at the season's termination and almost set an S.V.C. record for the most individual rebounds pulled down in a single game. Thomas again paced the Bearcat cagers in both total points scored and points-per-game averages. Of the remaining starters, sophomore Dave Berkmyre proved to be tops in defensive play and repeatedly added to his pres- tige in that department. Junior Mike Mickinak starred in the capacity of a front court man and acted as a feeder to the taller men on the squad. When he was prodded into action, junior ,loe Sosnak knew what to do as was seen when he netted the first seven 'Cat points in the tussle with California. As the season progressed, Coach Canterna saw more and more the potential of his younger players. Sophomore ,lim Wirth, a transfer student, displayed his ball-handling ease and shooting accuracy in a number of games. Rege Simasek, also a sophomore, seemed to spark the team with his play-making ability in the despairing moments of the game. Lauky John Hutchinson, a freshman center, was pressed into extra action during the remaining games of the season and was responsible for many rebounds which were later turned into tallies for S.V.C.
