helped to give Mackin High
Schools basketball team second
place in the first half Of the
Catholic League.
Butler yesterday scored "a
points to pace the Trojans to
a surprisingly easy 75-46 victory
over st. Johns at DeMatha.
The victory clinched the first
half runnerup spot for the
Trojans behind DeMatha, which
has one game to go.
st. Johns was playing with
out high-scoring Bob Lewis,
who injured his left ankle last
Friday against Gonzaga. Tom
Wood, another starter, was out
with the flu, and two other
regulars didn't score a point
for the Cadets.
Never in Doubt
But Mackin and Butler were
hot yesterday and it is doubt
full if even a healthy st. Johns
team could have turned the
tables.
Butler, a 6-foot-2 sophomore,
played under the backboards
last season, spending most of
his time watching taller players
outjump him. However, the
addition of Ga Art Baylor this
year permitted Butler to be
used in the back court. The
change was made with great
success after the first five
games of the season.
Scoring TurnabOut
Butler, who was averaging
only 10 points a game at that
time, has been scoring over 20
per contest since, and now has
255 points in the TrojanS' Is
games.
The TrojanS had little trouble
with st. Johns as Butler and
his high leaping teammate,
Butch Braxton. who scored 20
points, led them to an early
100 lead. St. Johns never was
able to cut the lead below seven
thereafter. The Trojans' vic
tory was their 18th. St. Johns
suffered it's fourth setback in
IA games.
