The all-important junior tussle, which starts at 7:15o'clock, will be followed by the senior scrape.The Gael juniors are especially anxious to dump the South aiders since it was Leo that handed them their only loss to date, that coming in the league opener on Jan. 4 by a 57 to 45 score.In making it five in a row last Friday night, the Gaels ran up 81 points against St. Ignatius for their highest point total of the! season. The final score was 81 j to 43. The Gaels, paced by Chuck Hirth and John O’Connor, took a 31 to 10 first quarter lead and kept pulling away after that.

The score was deadlocked at 47 apiece at the end of four quarters. However, St. Ignatius tallied eight points on one for the Gaels in the three • minute overtime period.One of the factors in St. Philip's senior defeat was the fact that their scoring ace, Dan Callahan. was well guarded and unable to contribute more than six points to his team's total. Bill Doherty was high for the Gaels with 14 points. Jim Tully and Jim Shutt had 11 apiece.MADSENS FACEDTTTD D A AT 1 AT
