To_ day he is an Olympic veter:m and one of the best athletes produrcd by his school. Back in 192G, Jesus stMfrd rolling the pigskin ~is ;i center_ on the Atenco midget basket ball squncl. Together with P;1dilh, Primitivo Martinez, natil Torres. and othrr pl;iyers who are now full fledged Varsity men made history in Ateneo busketba11. One year in the midget division gave Suarez ::i world of experience and the next ye~ir he t ricd out for the \'iusity. Ilis rise was nothing short of phenomenal. The SPORTS REVIEW Aprll 18, 1931 Jesus Suarez vanquished the crack Old Timers. In that one game alone ,Suarez playing the guard position scored as much as the men on the fonvard line and this fact is what caught the eye of coaches and sports critics. Together with Celestino· Martinez, they pair greatly and their defense has no peer in the Islands today. When the Olympic try-outs was sounded last year Sua-rez was among the first candidates lo appear and in the final seleclion he was one of the ten lo be given an Olympic uniform.

His motto seems to be "ThC' hest defense is -offense" as hr has sho,yn in every g:rnw he has participated that although guarding he is never wit hou l scoring. His first year in big time competition was in 1928 when Ateneo won the NCAA cage chnmpionship. His dazzling Door work and his air tight guarding made him one of the most fearful defense men in the game. His height - too !ms always been a great advantage as he gets the "Lip offs" easily from the opponent.
