Title
1949 Yearbook
Description
1948-49 St. Ambrose Cage Squad
nets for 22 markers before fouling out in the
last quarter.
Returning home for the last home tilt of the
season, the Blue and White cagers tied their
ceason high for one game by swamping the
helpless Wm. Penn basketball quintet by an
85-33 margin. Jack Donnelly broke the individual season record of 277 points by hitting
for 27 counters in the game to bring his season
total to 298 points.
The final game of the season scheduled at
St. Benedict's was cancelled because of the
plans for St. Ambrose to participate in an Iowa
Sectional N.A.I.B. play-off. The play-offs were
cancelled when one of the schools objected,
and Iowa State Teachers was appointed to
represent the Iowa district.
