St. Francis Xavier of Acushnet was third. The senior CYO champions of the Fall River Diocese finished with 264 points, only two points back' of champion Mount Carmel of Waterbury Conn., which put on a flawless performance. Winners of several tournaments the St. Anne cheerleaders have been coached by Carol Ann Nagle and Celeste Marcis·
zyn for the past three years an,d have won several awards, in eluding one as the most original and creative unit in the Western Massachusetts CYO tournament last February in Grafton. In that tournament Carol and Celeste, who previously coached the Bishop Gerrard High School squad to several tournament crowns, Including New England titles, were given awards as super psyche coaches. The cheerleaders, 15 to 19 years old, practice 20 hours a week 11 months of the year, May through the next April.

Priestly Tourney Champions Champions were crowned last Sunday in the Fall River CYO's Sam Priestly Memorial Tournament. Sparked by Chris Nasiff, who scored 18 points, Immaculate Conception defeated Holy Name by the score of 50-33 in the Division B tournament final. Steve Pontes contributed 12 points in the Immaculates' vic· tory and Mike Herrin's 19 points for Holy Name was the game high. In the Class C competition Kevin Riley set the scoring pace with 19 points as SS. Peter and Paul defeated St. William, 31.20, in the final. John Pacheco was St. William's top scorer with seven points. The final for the Priestly championship went into over· time in which St. Stanislaus outscored Our Lady of Health, 8-4, for a 60-56 victory. Jim Medeiros's field goal with 13 seconds remaining in regulation time for Saint Stanislaus tied the score at 52-52 and forced the contest into overtime. Chris Holden scored 15 points, Brian Gibbons 14 for the champions, Jerry Nientemp 14 and Mark Medeiros 13 for Our Lady of Health. The tournament honors the memory of Sam Priestly who for many years was director of CYO activities in the Anawan Street building. Gilbert Santo Christo, a 156-
pounder who fights out of the Fall River CYO, is at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, where he will have the opportunity to dis play his ability and, hopefully, be picked to join one of the United States international teams. American Boxing Federation and Golden Gloves champion of Southern New· England, Santo Christo is the third Fall River CYO boxer coached by Ron Comeau to get an invitation to the Olympic training camp. Preced ing him were Chris McDonald and Dave Gauvin. In consideration of the sue cess he has had with his pro teges Comeau has been invited to be one of the coaches in the Olympic trials and he will leave for Colorado Springs on May 3. A tie score in a track meet? Not very likely and certainly not very often but it does happen and it did happen last Monday afternoon at John Harrington Field, Diman Yoke High School, where Bishop Connolly High's Cougars and the Warriors of Coyle and Cassidy High tied 72Y2 to 72Y2 in a Southeastern Massachusetts Conference Div ision Three dual meet. A high point in this unusual meet was the dead heat for first place in the mile run in which Connolly's Tim Duffy and Coyle's Chri6 Lamb were both clocked at 4:57.

New Films "Max Dugan Returns" (Fox): A long-absent father (Jason Ro bards) turns up at the home of his daughter (Marsha Mason), an impoverished widow with a teen·age son (Matthew Broder· ick). He's burdened with mortal ity - he only has six months to live - remorse, and also more than a half-million in cold cash of dubious origin. This bland, contrived comedy, written by Neil Simon,. is mildly amusing thanks to the skill of its per formers. There is mild verbal vulgarity and a fuzzy moral stance on stealing, but since the picture is so innocuous, it is rated A2, PG. "Monty Python's The Mean ing of Life" (Universal): This latest Python outing - John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin - is a throwback to the group's early sketch format but 'it breaks new ground in terms of grossness for its own sake. There are some funny moments, but sequences on organ trans· plants and gluttony are so vile they are almost unwatchable. The Python humor remains surprisingly toothless, the prod· uct of bright boys who lack sufficient education and pass ion to zero in properly on their targets. Because of attacks on formal religion,graphic nudity, and thel grossness already noted, this film is rated 0, R. Films on TV Sunday, April 24, 8 p.ol.
