Bee Quintet Receives Last Minute Instructions, Review of 1948-49 Cage Tilts, The St. Ambrose cagers opened the 1948-49 season against a strong and fast St. Thomas quintet from St. Paul, Minnesota, on the Rock Island Armory court. Both teams started veteran fives and the game was a see-saw battle the first half, with the Tommies ahead 24 to 23 at the midaway point. The second canto was a cold one for the Bees, and the shooting of Bill Sandstrom was instrumental in causing the Bees to suffer defeat by a 53-47 verdict. The second game of the season was more successful, as the Bees stopped a St. Norbert winning streak at 5 with their 71-57 dunking of the Wisconsin lads. The fine rebounding and shoting of Kirby Lawlis and Jack Donnelly was the main feature of the inital Bee victory of the season. A lanky St. Benedict's court team from Atchison, Kansas, met defeat at the hands of the Blue and White cagers on the Davenport High court, Thursday, December 16th. Jack Donnelly's left and right-handed hook-shots were hitting quite consisitently; the Peoria, Ill., cager swished 17 points through the net in giving the Bees a 62-50 victory. The Lorias Holiday Tournament was next on the agenda, but the few days layoff had their effect on the dribblers, for the Bees dropped their initial contest to Culver-Stockton by 54-48, Coach Jim O'Connor
