SPORTS Eagles Retain City Cage Championship St. Mary’s Buried in Avalanche Coach Paul Baker unveiled his ! 1953-'54 O’Neill high cage squad in a precision pertormance Fri- | day night. The eagles opened with a barrage of baskets and ; rode to an easy 60-39 victory over | the challenging St. Mary’s acad- I emy Cardinals. The Eagles, defending city champs, rolled up a 10-2 margin in the first four minutes—al though St. Mary’s scored first. It was no contest—almost—from then on out. The Cards lost a 43-48 decision to Inman on the O’Neill maples three nights earlier, but the Baker kids were in their first outing of the season. Last year's North - Central conference champions were • supposed to have been hard hit by graduation. But Baker un veiled a smoothly-oiled mach ine playing conventional, hard driving basketball. The Eagles’ defensive had the Scarlet pretty well bottled up until the final stanza when Baker .liberally used the reserves. O’Neill high led 19-9 at the • first quarter, 39-16 at intermis sion, and 51-23 going into the final stanza. Coach Bob Berigan’s academy kids-had their scoring pretty well distributed, but were weak on the rebounds. • A large crowd filled the audi torium despite adverse road con ditions and other aftermath of Thursday’s blizzard. The triumph was a birthday anniversary present for Baker. His boys hit 49 percent of their field tries during the first, all layups, and finished with a 42 percent record. In a prelim, the O’Neill high seconds scuttled the academy re serves, 42-23.

St. Bon led 22-12 at halftime. During the first two stanzas, the Cards’ man-to-man defense fail ed to check the opponents’ of fensive. When the Cards shifted to a zone type defense in the small, low-ceiling Elgin gym, the story changed and Coach Bob Berigan’s sharpshooters wheeled into action. Duane Weier, the 6-3 Card center, bucketed 10 points for high scoring laurels while Terry Wanser and Benny Bazel man pressed closely behind with eight and seven points respect ively. It was the Cardinals’ first win in three outings thus far this season. In a preliminary, the Card sec onds were spilled, 16-32, by the St. Bon reserves. Boxscore of main event: ST. M.
