Title
1949 Yearbook
Description
The Hoosier Hot-shot Connects
downing a stubborn Central team from Pella,
Iowa, on the Armary floor. The Bees were
forced to play without their two tall men, Kirby
Lawlis and Jack Donnelly, most of the last half
as the two cagers fouled out. But the fine spirit
of the Bees kept them rolling as they swept
past the Dutchmen, 59-51. Jack Donnelly was
held by 6' 7" Stan Borgman, the Central pivot
man, to 3 points, his lowest game total of the
season.
With the semester exams out of the way,
Coach O'Connor moved his cagers up to West
DePere, Wisconsin, to battle the Knights from
St. Norbert's. The hoopsters really went to
work, using their fast break to bury the Green
Knights by a score of 80-61. Kirby Lawlis
swished the nets from all angles in the second
half in counting 17 points for the evening, while
Gola Waters showed the Wisconsin lads plenty
of floor finesse.
The Bees started on a western tour the 5th
of February by losing a rough and rugged
game to Creighton University at Omaha, Nebraska. The Bees committed 34 fouls which
counted for 26 of the points for Creighton as
the Bees went down to the tune of 56-43. The
defensive maneuvers set-up by the Bluejays
kept the Bees baffled, and the loss of key men
on fouls hurt the St. Ambrose quintet considerably.
