Title

1940 Yearbook

Description

Facing the loss of an entire
team, one which had won two
straight conference titles,
"Dukes" Duford sent his last
basketball team on the floor at
St. Ambrose. Six letter-winners,
Bob Carton, Art Moore, Tony
Sacco, Stan Sosnouski, Ben
Kausal, and Jimmy Oakey, from
the 1939 team which won
twenty out of twenty - two
games were at the disposal of
the Bee mentor.
Using only five men, Kausal, Oakey, Moore, Carton, and Vince Henehan,
a freshman, the saints upset a favored Cornell team 30-28 for their first win
of the season. Henehan grabbed a pass in the closing seconds of the tilt and
dribbled the length of the floor to drop in the winning basket.
