Title
1949 Yearbook
Description
Len Czarnecki, Gola Waters
The powerful Regis Rangers were next for
the Bees on their western swing, and the Denver, Colorado, team showed why they had
won 18 out of 20 games for the eason by socking a 62-44 defeat on the St. Ambrose squad.
Bill Murdoch and Don Morris sparked the Bees,
but it wasn't enough, as was indicated by the
scoreboard.
The St. Ambrose five returned to the home
floor to smash St. Joe's at Rock Island Armory
by the count of 62-47. This was the clincher to
the Midlands Conference basketball crown for
the Bees, since it was their fifth conference
victory without a defeat. Jack Donnelly returned
to form by hooking 25 points through the nets.
The play of Don Morris on defense was outstanding, as was the all-around play of every
Bee player.
Tim O'Connor's five suffered their sixth loss
of the season, Tuesday night, February 15th,
when the Leatherneck cagers from Western
Illinois State of Macomb, Illinois, chalked up
their 20th victory for the season by downing
the Bees 57-43. The game was a see-saw
battle the first half when the score stood at
28-28, but the second half found two reserve
cagers for Western hitting the hoop with one-
handed set shots to shove the Bees behind.
The last few minutes the Leathernecks held on
to the ball by shooting only when necessary,
which kept the Bees from gaining any points
on the Western dribblers.
The basketball cagers traveled to Pella, Iowa,
