Additional strength is expect~d from juniors guard James Held and center Charles Leonai:'d, seniors Mike Mattia and Charles Nickert, and sophomore center Carl Brown.

Co~ch Connor; a iraduate of.Villa Madenna, is in his sixth year as head coach at the Cavalier Castle and second year as Athletk Director.

Assisting · Connor is Mike Luerck, a graduate of the University-of Cincin· nati and a fQrmer member of the Bearcats' basketball squad from 1964-68.

He will ·be heading the reserve team.

Coach Luerck summed .up the team as "one which lacks . experience but shoul_d compensate for it with· aggressiveness, desire, and team woi-k."

The strength of the Cavaliers will be tested early in the .season ·as they · face Roger Bacon December 5, Moeller · December 12, and St. Xavier two weeks later, all at home.

Senior .Tom Frerick will probably· be the ·pivotman for )C. He saw a .fair amount of action at this spot last year and has improved his !shooting steadily since then. A very strong rebounder, he moves well under the basket and is . hard .. to stop when shootmg in· close.
