Description

Dart poses for the photographer.
Close-up of the "Cannady-reach"
Bob Duax's cagers combined a lot of hard
work with a little fun, bringing national
recognition to St. Ambrose, through the median of the NAIA tourney at Kansas City.
Here's how the trip looked to the ball players:
Saturday, March 6, 1954
12:45 p.m. Leave Rock Island Station.
Sunday, March 7, 1954
7:30 a. m. Arrive Union Station, Kansas
City, Missouri.
7:45 a.m. Check in at Hotel Aladdin.
8:00 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral.
9:00 a. m. Breakfast.
1:00 p.m. Practice, Rockhurst College
gym-
6:00 p. m. Tip-off banquet — Town
House, Kansas City, Kansas.
10:00 p.m. Lights out.
That's the way the players spent the first
day of their visit to Kansas City. However,
there was about two hours a day for the
players to look over the town, but it is more
work than fun. Ask any ball player and he'll
tell you that it is work, but that's the kind
of work they like.
Smiley seems
to have taken wing.
