LEADING FOUL SHOOTERS
NOTES

The race is on to determine who has the best shot from the foul line! The importance of being a good foul shooter i5 generally over looked by boys in grammar schools. The record will be kept each week. While the forwards and centers usually have the most opportunities to be high scorers on any team, the race for foul shooting honors will give players in all positions an equal chance to compete.
 Sts. Peter & Paul won its big game with St. Joe's this week be- cause Don Synott, big center. showed an uncanny eye from the foul line where he hit the bulls-eye four times. Sts. Peter & Paul won out in overtime IA to II.
 Four undefeated teams in the Minor Public league-Maloney An- derson, Sprague and Barnard. Three in the Parochial-Sts. Peter & aul St. Mary's and St. Thomas.
 The Major division of the Public school league opens this coming week with Webster facing Driggs and Walsh tangling with Duggan.
 Highest scoring teams 10 date are Russ Gilligan's Anderson quint [ with a total of 47 fil two gal es: ard St. Joseph's with 49.

So bad is the present state of af-

now being urged to coordinate all

which logically should be under the
