Cadets in High Gear
Again in Whipping
Unbeaten Anaeosiia
RY Bob Hnnson


A couple of weeks ago st.
Johns High dropped a basket
ball game TO highly rated WASH
ington-Lee.
The Cadets were minus one
of their top performers. John
Frazier, 6-foot-2 junior, but it
is doubtful If his presence
would have helped that particu-
lar night. st. Johns Just didn't
have it and lost by II points.
Since then Coach Joe Gall
lagher, not one to take such a
poor performance lightly. has
whipped his squad into a more
presentable team. The Cadets
were in high gear yesterday as
they handed Anacostia, previously
unbeaten in eight games. a 64-59
defeat on the Indians home
court.
"This club is still unpredict-
able" Gallagher said before the
game, "but it's beginning to
shape up into the team we hope
to have going for US the rest
Of the season."
Both teams exhibited big play
ers. but the Cadets repeatedly got
the jump of the boards. Frazier.
John Moore, 6-foot-3; Bob Tai
bot, 6-foot-l. and Jim Collins.
6-foot-2, were grabbing most OF
the rebounds for the Cadets.
It was a slim 1915 lead for
the Cadets at the end of the first
quarter. Frazier made a layup
and followed with foul shot
seconds before the half ended to
give his team a 30-30 tie.
Both teams played on an even
basis with the lead changing
hands only a few times and then
by just a few points. Moore hit
with a Jump shot with about
three minutes remaining to give
st. Johns a 58-57 lead. It held
on with the aid of several sue
cessful foul shots to finish ahead.
Moore and. Frazier wound up
with u points. Talbot Is and
Jim Mandes. who played an ex-
cellent defensive game. 8 points
for st. Johns. Calvin Knott was
