1958 Yearbook
Description
Even though he's hidden from our camera, Bernie is suc-
cessfully jumping one in for two points.
Two Quincy cagers seem to outnumber Tom Otting as the
three reach for a loose ball.
The Bees then played host to St. Michael's of New
Mexico and after a close fight in the first five minutes they
pulled away to a 87-56 victory. Buford Walker, Kansas
City freshman, popped in 22 points to lead the Bees in
scoring and did a nice job of rebounding. Tom Otting hit
20 for the Bees, who held a comfortable 44-29 halftime
lead, and Brennan accounted for 16.
The next night the Bees rolled over North Dakota Uni-
versity by a 79-62 score in the last game of 1957. Although
St. Ambrose only held a slim 38-34 lead at the intermission,
they perked up in the final frame and easily outclassed their
opponents. Brennan grabbed the scoring laurels in the
Bees' fourth win of the season as he tossed in 10 baskets
and three free-throws for a 23 point total. Since school was
dismissed for Christmas vacation, the crowd was the slim-
est of the season.
In the first post-holiday contest, paced by Otting and
Walker, the Bees chalked up their fifth victory of the sea-
son by downing La Crosse State Teachers, 76-65. Otting
dropped in 20 points and Walker, hitting on his first eight
shots, had a total of 17 points. Leo Lewis, Bee guard, picked
up 15 points on long set shots over the La Crosse defense.
With 28 seconds left Tom Otting hit a 20 foot jump shot
to give the Bees a winning margin in a squeaker against
St. Joseph's of Indiana, 87-84. The Pumas had lead earlier
in the game, 14-3, and the Ambrosians fought back to tie
the score, 30-30, and then traded baskets with the visitors
until halftime, leaving the floor for the intermission with
the score tied 42-42. Midway in the final frame the Bees
had built up a ten point lead 67-57, only to watch it crum-
ble after Brennan fouled out. A Puma full court press re-
duced the Bee lead to one point.
In the final hectic minutes the Bees managed to keep
their lead until St. Joseph's made a charity toss to knot the
