^After losing 4 games in a
po> y, Obriotti’s sophs got down
to business Wednesday in
the ir game with Forbes’ sophs,
to nip their losing streak in
the bud and win by the top-
heavy score of 40-18.
The score was 13-8 in fa-
vcr of Forbes’ team at the
lulf, but the losers wilted in
the second half under the bar-
rage of baskets caged by Jack-
sci and Obriotti, who ac-
cented for 15 points apiece,
freeman played a great floor
^ame and was a big cog in the
/victory for Obriotti’s club.
Beverly Myers paced the
lasers with 9 points.

Seniors Rout
Freshman Five
The seniors tightened their
secure grip on first place by
smashing a bit of extremely
feeble freshman resistance to
defeat the first-year club 34
to 7, Wednesday, Feb. 23, at
Central, for their sixth con-
secutive victory.
The score stood 22 to 0 at
the half, arid the fish quintet
failed to break the ice until
late in the third quarter when
Klemcke, freshmen guard,
sank a free toss. Although
they played without the valu-
able services of Brown, their
high-point man, the seniors
exhibited a smoother passing
attack than they have yet
flashed, and worked with
polish. Rives and Moynahan
shared scoring honors be-
tween themselves with 26
points, while Klemcke sank 5
of the total of 7 points the
fish amassed.
Licata, steady senior cap-
tain, played his usually high-
class floor game and ram-
rodded the ball deep into
freshman territory throughout
the game. As the only shin-
ing light among the fish out-
fit, Richter, alert quard, never
quit scrapping and helped
keep the seniors from adding
to their score.
The senior victory was their
second of the year over the
highly touted freshmen five
and put the first-year club
out of any possible chance at
the coveted title.

Juniors Win From
Sophomores, 37-17
Staging one of their char-
acteristic finishes, Sheridan’s
juniors pulled away from their
opponents, Forbes’ sophs, by
scoring 20 points in the last
quarter, Saturday, February
18, at the Central gym to win
by a score of 37-17.
The score at the end of the
third quarter was only 17-12
in favor of the juniors, but
Sheridan and Hesse began to
hit the basket more frequently
in the late minutes of the fray.
The juniors, minus the ser-
vices of Eddie Neumann and
Jimmy Withoff, failed to click
in the early part of the game,
missing numerous crip shots
besides exhibiting a rather
haphazard passing attack.

Cage Comment
by
Tom Jackson
Who is going
to stop the vic-
tory march of
the senior bas-
ketball c o m-
bine? When,
if eve r, are
they going to
lose a ball
game ? The
freshman five,
once called the
class of the league, has col-
lapsed twice against the
fourth-year crew. So far,
only Sheridan s juniors have
succeeded in giving the
seniors a real scrap, and
they lost, 33 to 26. Mil-
ler’s juniors, regarded as out-
standing threats because of
their passing power, were
steam-rollered, 42 to 26. But
the seniors, despite a com-
manding lead over the rest of
the field, are not yet “in” as
champions. Sheridan and Mil-
ler’s junior clubs, and even
Obriotti’s sophs, must be
whipped once more to assure
the fourth-year men of the
title.
The fact that at the end of
the season an all-star club is
picked from the various com-
peting teams has its evil, as
well as its good points. Co-
operation and unselfish team-
work are absolutely essential
for success in any sport. Too
many intramural cage per-
formers are under the erro-
neous impression that a play-
er’s measure of worth can be
traced solely and entirely to
the number of points he has
scored. The unmistakable
value of such men as Licata,
Williams, Rives, Catalani, Ra-
ba, the Jambers twins, Jung-
man, Delemater, Richter, and
Casseb are direct contradic-
tions to such a notion. It is a
deplorable fact that there are
some players who are more
interested in the number of
points they score than they
are in their team’s success.
They would rather be high
point man on a loser than
just another player on a win-
ner. Consequently their teams
lose with monotonous regu-
larity. Nor is this disease of
vanity restricted to the losers.
The league leaders, them-
selves, have felt its power.
How about trophies for the
winners of the league? Praise,
the laudation of the press, are
all very fine, but some token
of award is far more lasting
in value. A minimum fee
from each member of the five
losing clubs would pay for a
fine award. Here is an ap-
peal to your sense of sports-
manship. And don’t forget
that your chance will come,
very soon. The baseball sea-
son is almost here.
Make your dates now
for the Officers’ club dance
in April.
Millers Quintet
Shackles Sophs
Led by the accurate goal
shooting of Quinlan and Si-
mon, Miller’s juniors scored
a decisive victory over Forbes’
sophs Saturday at the Central
gym by a score of 50-19.
The sophs enjoyed a lead
of 11-8 during the first part
of the second quarter, but they
failed to hold their advantage
and the half ended with the
juniors ahead, 17-11.
Quinlan and Simon plunked
in the baskets for the win-
ners, with the former scoring
22 points and the latter ac-
counting for 18. Bill Young
and Barney McGary led the
losers with 8 and 7 points re-
spectively.
The game was exceedingly
rough with W. Young and
Karsch being ejected from the
game on personal fouls.

Cop First Half
By Win Over
Forbes' Men
Smothering Forbes’ sophs
in a blizzard of goal shooting,
the fast-travelling senior five
annexed their fifth straight
vistory of the year at the
Woodlawn courts, Thursday,
Feb. 17, by the top-heavy
score of 53 to 14.
The luckless sophs never
had a chance and trailed 32 to
2 at the half. Bob Brown
paced the senior sharp-shoot-
ers with the staggering total
of 27 points, trailed by Rives
and Moynahan with 12 and 8
points respectively. Bev Myers
played a courageous game for
the losers and led his team
with 5 points.
Alex Licata, and Tim Wil-
liams, dependable fourth-year
guards, continually fed Brown,
who was struggling desper-
ately to tally 30 points.
Although the sophs were
soundly licked during the first
half, they rallied and succeed-
ed in playing the league lead-
ers on fairly even terms
throughout the third and
fourth quarters.
