They played in the St. Sa- bina’s tourney recently. These men are Danny O’Connell, Bob Kidd, and Jim Dunne. Lost: to Varsity Due to the fact that most schools do not have intercollegiate fresh man basketball, only five games were played. However, in the first of these five games, the fresh- men showed up remarkably well against a Strong Loyola team but were defeated 25-18. Then, in their second game, they gave the Var- sity quite a tussle, even though they did end up on the short end of a 2848 score. The Greenllngs third and fourth games against Elmhurst and the Lewis Fresh, respectively, were heart breakers and could have been won had the breaks fallen their way. The scores of these games were Elm- hurst fresh l8, 1LT. 15, and Lewis Frosh 22, Armour Fresh 19.
