It was an afternoon preserved for t h e s e n i o r s a s V.E.S. r o m p e d past Holy Cross in a contest which in· dicated who was king of the floor in basketball. The fighting Gaels did not have a chance as they succumbed to the overpowering Bishop offense. Scott Shanklin led the way, pouring
in a total of 14 points for the victors. John Anderson, in his most outstand· ing game of the season, out-maneu· vered and outclassed every oppon· ent's effort to stop him and flipped in I0 points. Kell Goy and Julian Fenner added 9 apiece to pad the score and four seniors alone topped the entire Holy Cross effort.
