Outstanding for the Teachers was George Wilmer, who played both center and forward during the game. He staged a one-man attack In the final half that cut a commanding St. Norbert lead to five points, and played a bang-up game defensively.

Ranquette also turned in a good game for the invaders. Game Starts Slowly The game started slowly with St. Norbert gaining the lead on a pair of free throws. The Teachers knotted the count and it was close and fast through the early stages. Baskets by Moynihan and VanSystine put the Saints out in front and at half time they held a 21 to 12 advantage.

Some good shooting by VanSystine and Spychalla early in the second half increased St. Norbert's margin to 13 points before Wilmer found the range. The lanky Teacher forward then began to pot in shots and cut the lead with a seven-point attack. Kant, St, Norbert reserve center, increased the margin, with a free throw and a field goal before Johnson and Wilmer counted again for the invaders.

However, once the New Yorkers got back on their home grounds, they began to click nicely and gained strength as the season went on. It wasn't all a bed of roses for Coach Steve Owen but he came through with flying colors and to the winner belongs the spoils. The Chicago Bears swept the boards clean with every team that faced them this season until the title combat with New York. The Halas-men seemed headed for their championship as they had chalked up 13 victories In a row and from the percentage point of view had a rating far ahead of any other spoke in the National league.

Pacettt dropped out of school for a short time and reentered.
