score. The Bees then moved to the consolation
bracket, where they set a new St. Ambrose
scoring record by swamping the Simpson Red-
men, 85-48. The consolation finals found the
Ambrosians having a strong first half against
the home club, Loras, but the second half was
a frigid one for all the Bees except Jack Donnelly, who rolled up 26 markers as the St. Ambrose court men dropped the decision by the
score of 74-62. Steve Slattery led the Loras
cause by hitting 18 points.
Thursday, January 6th, was a successful day,
as the St. Ambrose dribblers started off the
new year by pounding Wm. Penn College at
Oskaloosa, Iowa, 79-55. Little Len Czarnecki,
a freshman standout from Chicago, hit his
stride and accounted for 13 points, but was
behind Jack Donnelly and Gola Waters, who
scored 19 and 14 points, respectively.
The Indiana trip was next for the Bees, and
Coach Jim O'Connor's cagers ended a 12 game
winning streak at home for St. Joseph on Kirby
Lawlis' last minute field goal which clipped
the Pumas, 60-57. The Bees trailed at halftime
by 39-27, but the Blue and White netsters
started pounding the hoops in the second
period with the stellar play of Gola Waters and
Kirby Lawlis the outstanding factors in the win.
Friday night, January 14, the Bees returned
home to face the Redmen from Simpson College. The game was a tough one all the way
with both teams using race-horse tactics, but
the scoring of Jack Donnelly was instrumental
in the 58-52 win for the Bees. Donnelly scored
22 points followed by Gola Waters with 11.
Going into this game with Loras, the Bees
had averaged 62 points per game and Jack
Donnelly was averaging 17.3 points per game.
As usual, the great rival from Dubuque, Loras
College, gave the Bees a tough time on the
court, but the St. Ambrose cagers piled up a
good first half lead to bring them a 43-34
victory. Jack Donnelly and Len Czarnecki led
the scorers with 15 and 13 points, respectively.
The Blue and White continued their undefeated record in the Iowa Conference by
