01132 flllrussruahs Basketball 1936-37 Vincentian has just completed a vcry successful basketball season under the capable leadership of Coach Dan Cunha. In the Catholic league, Vincentian was a very successful team winning eight games and losing six. In outside competition, V. I. won nine games and lost one. This shows what a strong team Vincentian had with an average of .708 at the close of the season. The squad consisted of Edward Crummey, Thomas Scalzo, John Dieckelman, James Engel, Stephen Batory, William Roberts, Robert Trulan, Robert Handerhan, Joseph Delaney, John Rehfuss, and Michael O,Hare. This year in the Catholic league, V incentian showed a fine defensive team inas- much as the opposition's average was only 24.4 points per game. Vincentian was by far the best defensive team in the league. In regard to offensive playing, Vin- centian was also among the first. Out of seventy men scoring in the Catholic league circles, Vincentian men came in a group formation in the upper half of the individual scoring. This shows a well developed five-man offensive- team. Vincentian's greatest success was in the Saratoga Invitation Tourney held at Saratoga during March. Here, the team displayed championship basketball during the tournament and came out the victor. It defeated Rutland High School of Vermont 33-31 in the first game in the tournament. In the second game the follow- ing night, Vincentian trounced St. Joseph's Academy of North Adams, Massachu- setts 37-15. In the final game in which Vincentian met Holyoke High School of Massachusetts, Vincentian was rated the underdog but had a great deal of confi- dence and turned the tables on Holyoke, which is rated one of the strongest teams in Massachusetts, with a score of 23-19. Credit must be given to every member that participated in this tournament, but special honor should be bestowed on Ed Crum- mey, John Dieckelman, and James Engel who were named as members of the all tournament team.
