Thefor St. Peter Ciaver also champions in-1S3 and 1961,LOTS OF RETURNEES : And if ever Two. coaches were gifted with fine returning* prospects, it is Cortez and Popham. Ceptral Catholic's graduation losses'svill consist ;of only one player, the superbly talented Bill Rrosseau, while1 St, Peter Ciaver will give up only Clem Strait and Edwin Davis by graduation and reserve Johnny Harris by exhausted eligibility.That leaves Popham with three returning starters, brothers Clarence and Charles Johnson and Odls King, and as he showed in Sunday’s game with Amarillo Price, the presence of only Clarence Johnson would make St. Peter Ciaver the favorite to repeat again, Cortex similarly will have four-fifths of his sterling Button starling unit back again, forward Leonard Conrad, hulking 6-7 center Roger Bowden and peppery guards Chuck Henckel and Jim Bisch-offberger.But today as college talent scouts from the Southwest moved in on the slender Bros-seau, St, Peter Clover’s Pop-bam was praying they wouldPopham believes he can be.“We’ve got a lot of good basketball players in San Antonio/' Popham said after his squad razed Price, “but we've got only one best player/' The St. Peter Ciaver coac^ a railroad clerk who coaches the Trojans simply for the satisfaction of working with boys, didn't have to say whom he thought was the best player.Clarence Johnson, a slender lad who turned 17 only in December, fulfilled every word of praise Popham could dream up, The Trojan center played .the equivalent of three quarters, jammed in 40 points, hauled down 26 rebounds arid personally blocked between 15 and 20 Price shots, jamming the ball down the throats of the Amarillo shooters in the style made famous by big Bill Russell of .the Boston Celtics, Used sparingly in the second halfp he scored only 11 points alter intermission as St. Peter Ciaver moved up its shot .production from outside. But during the first half, when the game still was in doubt, he tallied 29 points as the Trojans took a 38-19 lead at interims-FEBRUARYS« MmSTOP ACCIDENTS.'

Ahimn Gym for the program. By the time Central Catholic with its vast throng of supporters hac crammed into the field house: fans were hanging from the rafters and the court at both ends were roped off to perm ft standees behind the backboards,Named to the all-tnurnameTilteam were Clarence Johnsonand King of St. Peter Ciaver, Conrad, Henckel and Brossean of Central Catholic, Avila of EJ Paso Cathedral, Taliaferro oEdrooled at the potential of St.pallas Jesuit, John Henry Par-Peter Ciaver’s star, Brosseauj™ of Ennis St. John's, Mike gave them an immediate targetin the signing derby by escorting Central Catholic home free with its second consecutive state title. Canning six of eight field goal tries and three of foun free throw attempts, Brosseau scored 15 points as the Buttons rallied from a slender 3fr2fi half-time lead to tear Dallas Jesuit apart, Brosseau also played a sterling game off the boards throughout and, joined by Bowden in the second half, cut Jesuit off from all hopes of a second shot.APPLIED PRESSThe Central Catholic - Jesuit tussle was close until d minute deep in - tile second half, Up until that time Jesuit’s Rangers had been able io apply the press and disrupt Central Catholic's offensive gome but Cortez, who learned from his team's failures in an earlier tournament game with pressing Spring Branch Memorial, was able lu supply the antidale in his half-time lecture.“Jesuit used a new press on us hut we were able to move Conrad to mMcouit and work from him to bust their defense apart/’ Corlez analyzed after the game.The turijipg point came with Central Catholic .holding a slim, one-point lead at'32-31 soon after the second half began. Conrad canned a free throvy lo make it 33-31, Bischoffberger hit from outside for a 35-31 lead and then Bischoffberger pilfered a Jesuit pass, dribbled downcourt for a layup to make it 37-31 and seconds later Brosseau hit from 28 feet out to make U 30-31.Jesuit never came close again and as the points poured in, the fast memories of the championship game slowdown of last year faded. Just a year ago, Central Catholic defeated Jesuit 18-17 in a game in Which a scrawny free throw conversion took on the significance of a brace of three-point plays.GREAT TEAMWORK“Great teamwork,” Cortez praised his crew after the game. We’ve got five boys who can score 30 .points a game but they all sacrifice for the benefit of the team. Just look al that scoring/' Cortez crowed.The scoring balance bore him out. The high pointer with 17 was Bischoffberger wlio, in the words of Cortez, “played the greatest game of his life.” Bros* seau followed with 15, Conrad and Bowden netted 14 each and Henckel added 10. Just as important was the starting unit'sWalsh of Amarillo Price, and Alfredo Cuellar of BrownsvilleSt. Joseph's.CLASS AAA CHAMPIONSHIPCcnlroJ CoJboJIc lt;/W~-BirschDlfbPfO£.' 17, Brosseau 15, Conrod 14, Qowdsrv U, Henckel 10, Kramer, Douglass, Brown, Lur.o, Hickey,Da 11 o 5 Jesuit lt;50—TaHaFerro 2d, His 0fns 11, Lalla 10, Lindley 6, Brawn'ng 3.
