JAMES ROONEY-Forward Jimmie, a first-year man, would be an asset to any team, and Cathedral certainly found him so. On the go from the opening to final whistle, jimmie seemed to outbound his opponents. He has three good years left. PAUL LYONS f Here is a boy that makers basketball real entertainment. Possessing a deadly eye, 1 coupled with natural floor ability. Bud proved a constant menace to his opponents at yr' all times. , I CHARLES MURPHY Charlie always gave evidence of coolheadedness, and was probably the best floorman on the team. His passing ability was never doubted and he was one of Coach Padden's keymen. it THOMAS HIGGINS l 'l'ommy always displayed his characteristic fight and was an invaluable aid to the Panthers. Playing a guard postion his defense was almost nnpregnable. We are fortunate to have him hack next year. JOHN MCKEAGUE jack, a new man, rounded into championship form near the end of the season, and his height made him very valuable under the basket. GEORGE NEVERS George, cousin of the great Ernie, showed some of the family All-American form this season. Opponents scored very few baskets while George was at the guard post. He was an excellent dribbler, and added to this, had a deadly eye, which made him almost ideal. xx f ,.. F 'If A 1 'K' ' ' ., . , :ng if -V ,, .91- ff' '5, W -Q-f N x Q . , , . ,, .- . ,

But the Panthers cling- ing tenaciously to their seven- point lead erected a wall for- midable enough to turn hack their opponents' strongest at- tack. Time out was taken now and then for some players to re- trieve their wind, that for some unknown reason they seemed to lose. Notwithstanding this, how- qiootball VINCENT WILES ever, in the third quarter Flaher- ty caught a pass from the nimble fingers of Murphy who, by the way, is probably one of the best passers Cathedral has ever had. and raced 30 yards for a touch- down, bringing the score to a grand total of 13 points. At the close of the game Padden sent in his second team to carry on the contest. A bystander might, if he had the powers of observa- tion, have noted that Mr. Padden SUPERIOR CENTRAL was wearing a rather beatific smile that those select few who are peace with God seem to have imprinted on their countenances. What gala preparations were made for the final game of the season with Central. The school seemed to be alive with posters bearing the inscription Beat Central, and that thought seemed foremost in the minds of faculty as well as students. Almost daily, rallies were held with the purpose of bringing the students to a higher degree of school spirit, but they were unnecessary, for already the students were keyed to such a tension that the air seemed alive with electricity. The long-awaited day finally came, and what promised to be the largest assemblage that ever grouped together to watch a football game in Superior, made its way toward Gates Field. 1 Some minutes before the game was to start, the entire student tl body of Cathedral made its .way around the fieldin a weird snake- XM t lil l dance. lt was as if an artist had overturned his easel, streaking ' 'nt d landsca we with r bboi s of blue and old as the stu -N l hispai 'e wit' 1 1' A g ,. .' - dents wormed their way over the fresh green turf.

He was always present to lend a helping hand, and was appreciated by all those who came in Contact with him. CLARENCE HACK Mike although he joined the squad late in the season proved to be one of Pad- den's most reliable men. His guarding ability was unquestioned and added to this an accurate eye and nimble feet. EDWARD NICHOLSON Small in stature, but possessing a fiery temperament Red put that necessary snap into the team, when it was most needed. He was an exceptionally good passer, and he used this ability always to advantage. The Season CATHEDRAL-HAYWARD ln the first game of the season the Panthers bowed to the more experienced Hay- ward five, losing by a l-8 count. The loss of four regulars seemed to have its effect upon the Panthers for they were unable to display their full strength, Murphy and Lyons, however, exhibited neat floorwork and were the Cathedral lunminaries throughout the CATHEDRAL-DE PADUA Crippled by the loss of five men through eligibility, Cathedral suffered its second defeat of the season at the hands of De Padua. Trailing I3-4 at the half, the Panthers started a determined rally in the second half that had the De Padua boys all but speech- less. However, it was not sufficient, and the Ashlanders emerged victorious b an l8-16 score. Murphy played a consistently good game, and scored seven of the Pjanther I6 CATHEDRAL-DULUTH CATHEDRAL Unable to cope with the larger boys from across the bay, the Panthers dropped another game, this time to Duluth Cathedral. The score, 26-l7, does not indicate the closeness of the contest. lt was evenly played throughout, marred only by the injury of Manley, star Cathedral forward. Lyons, Bachand, and Murphy displayed a clever passing attack and scored fifteen of their TCHITIYS l7 points. CATHEDRAL-CENTRAL Unable to keep up the terrific pace set by their rivals, the Panthers were snowed under by the Central quintet to the tune of 34-10. Cathedral, time and again had excellent chances to score but fate seemed to favor the wearers of the blue and white, and the Panthers were able to swish the ball through the hoop but three times. Higgins played a strong defense game, and was aided by the close guarding of Nevers. CATHEDRAL-NEW RICHMOND Smarting under the defeat administered to them by the Panther eleven last fall, New Richmond showed great skill in defeating the hard-fighting Cathedral five, 24-14. The size and weight of the New Richmond team greatly handicapped the Panthers and they were unable to unleash a very determined drive, although New Richmond's insecure lead was threatened numerous times. Lyons, scoring seven of his team's points, was the main threat throughout the game, while Higgins showed up exceptionally well on the CATHEDRAL-TWO HARBORS invading foreign soil, the Panthers dropped a hard-fought contest to the boys from the Agate City, score being 27-9. Two Harbors maintained their lead throughout the game, but during the third quarter it was seriously threatened. Inability to take advan- tage of free throws proved very costly to the Panthers. Nicholson and Murphy proved to be the shining light of the contest although Bachand was in evidence at all times. game. points. defense. t,,f-gf --P -'-- P or '45 X ,R .X Q Z
