FI if-r 55, k 'T A K V li fs E Inter-Glass Tournament f- The Freshmen were smothered under an avalanche of field goals in the fifth game of the tournament, losing to the juniors by the score of 32-l0. From the opening whistle the issue was never in doubt, for from the beginning the juniors were able to score almost at will. Patnode, junior scoring ace, dropped in eight field goals before his arms grew tired and from there Manley carried on where he left off. Turnbull and Darst were the only Freshmen who were able to find the hoop during the contest. ' The Seniors established themselves at the top of the league by defeating the hard- fi,hting Sophs. 17-16. The game had the spectators in the crowded gymnasium on the edge of their chairs until the final whistle blew. The Sophs threatened mostly in the third quarter but the Seniors were able to hold their meager lead until the end. Egan and Whitaker displayed a clever passing attack for the Seniors, while the Sophs relied mainly on Bartelme and Lindsay to uphold their standards. The Seniors crashed from their lofty pedestal when the ,luniors defeated them in their second meeting. 26-12. The Seniors seemed unable to hit their true stride, while the juniors functioned in their full power. Hanrahan and Patnode outshadowed the Q, rest of their teammates, while the Seniors were dependent upon Savoy and Bartelme for their effective power. The tournament was beginning to attract large crowds to the Cathedral gym- nasium. and the Freshmen and Sophomores provided real entertainment in the eighth game of the tournament. The Frosh seemed to find themselves in this game, and it was with great difficulty that the Sophomores edged them out l7-I5 in the headlines. The sharp-shooting Darst and the scintillating Turnbull were the big guns for the Frosh, while the Sophs brought forth two new starts in W'iles and Strong. ,luniors had little trouble in defeating the Sophs twenty-five to eleven in a rather slow contest. Hanrahan led his mates in the scoring spree, accounting for eleven of his mates' points. Strong, staunch Sophomore guard and Bartelme proved to be the main cogs in the Sophomores' attacks. The league Seniors added another scalp to their belt when they overcame the stubborn Freshies twenty-four to twelve'in a fast. breath-taking game. Although the Seniors were not excelled at any time. the Frosh put up a stiff contest, and it was only through their inability to hit the hoop that the score was not more even. Egan and Facette displayed a good brand of basketball for the victorious Seniors, while the Frosh were reliant upon Bradley and Turnbull for their power. . The Sophomores seemed to gain their stride when they toppled the Seniors from their precarious perch at the top of the field. when they emerged with a thirteen to eleven victory. The game was closely contested throughout. but the Sophomores were not to be denied and they were able to pierce the Seniors' defense time and again to pile up their thirteen ioints. Bennet. a newcomer, was the Senior ace, while Strong and Lindsay performed in true fashion for the Sophs. The luniors with the added strength of Chief Fairbanks. were able to trample over the lowly Frosh thirty to five in a one-sided contest. Hanrahan, scoring ace. ran wild in this encounter. scoring seven field goals. He was followed closely by Patnode. who scored six. Darst and Higgins proved effective for the Frosh. ln the other semi-final game. the mighty Seniors emerged smiling from their game with the Sophomores, having trod on them fourteen to twelve in one of the be-at games of the tourney. It was anybody's game until the last few minutes when Bennett scored a long field goal, to clinch another victory for the Seniors. Bennett.-Savoy' and Egan were the Senior luminaries, while Lindsay and H. Bartelme were the shining lights in the Sophomore lineup. ln the final game of the tournament the Seniors pitted their green material against the more seasoned veterans of the ,lunior souad. It was a gala event with every nook and cranny of the spacious gymnasium filled. The juniors, favorites in the contest. scored six points in rapid succession, and it seemed apparent that the Seniors would have to be content with second place. However they were not to be denied and through a startling spurt they gained five points to press the juniors closely. The remainder of the game saw the lead pass from one to the other. and the gym seemed to reverbrate with the cries of the delirious spectators. The timekeeper had his whistle poised. ready to bring to a close this game of games, when an alert Senior forward. scored a breath taking field goal when all seemed to be lost. The final score was 23-22 in favor of the Seniors. lt would be hard to select individual stars for the game, although'Bartelme Egan and Savoy proved to be a very effective scoring combination for the Seniors. whilf Manley and Conway seemed to dominate the junior play. As a reward the Seniors were presented with a beautiful silver trophy, emblematic of their well-earned victory l an Q1 Y ,. 4 XJ

CATHEDRAL-BAYFIELD It looked as though the Panthers at last had broken their losing streak when thev trounced the Bayfield contingent 26-5 in a game that showed to advantage the accurate eyes of some of the Cathedral sharpshooters. At no time were the Panthers in danger, and in the second half, Coach Padden sent in his reserves to carry on the contest. Lyons and Strong displayed an accurate eye, and Hack proved to he a veritable stone wall on CATHEDRAL-DE PADUA Showing a complete reversal ot form, the Panthers trod upon the St. Agnes cagers through four last periods winding up with 30-18 score.

QCOVLd CZSQELVVL The second team, composed of such stalwarts as Patnode, Nicholson, Pelletier, Egan, and Bartelmes, was a constant menace to the regulars all season. Their inherent love of the game, coupled with their aggressiveness, was a sore spot to all who came in contact with them. They completed a very successful season, and Coach Padden has his eye on them for future Varsity material. lt was an invaluable asset to the school as well as the first team, to have such a formidable group to represent them in different games and tournaments. lt is unnecessary to go into minute details concerning the mer- its of each individual but a rough survey of their ability is truly expedient. Patnode probably displayed the best shooting eye of the team. ln this field he was run a close second by Egan, who beside this quality, was also an excellent dribbler. The Bartelme brothers' play gave evidence of arduous practice, and their passing attack proved very effective at all times. Pelletier, long and lean, proved to be an excellent center. He was endowed with a certain sprightliness of limb, which was very advan- tageous when in vicinity of the small hoop. Nicholson, who in the middle of the season, was transferred to the first team, embodied all the cliaracteristics that constitute real basketball players. A natural grace, and a keen eye, made him one of Padden's most highly prized players. So with tl1is brief resume we bring to a close the rather abbreviated story of the second team, but before our time is up we would like to congratulate them as being prob- ably the best second team Cathedral has yet had to fall back upon. Their indomitable spirit of fight, and their clean, hard-fighting brand of basketball will always mark them as being Cathedral's stalwarts. , 4 , -95-
