Loyola Grad Elected Newman National Pres.

Recently there foregathered on the campus of the U niversity of N ew Brunswick delegates from every university in the country who had journeyed there for the N ational Convention of N ewm an clubs. A Loyola Grad, Robert Lindsay, ’44, had the singular hon­our of being elected National pre­sident of the organization. Since his graduation Bob has been a t­tending McGill where he is seek ­ing an engineer’s degree. Well remembered for his active interest in D ebating, D ram atics and of course in the C.O.T.C. Bob, in as­sum ing the leadership of such a formidable institution has brought much credit to this college. The N ew s offers him its congratula­te 'ns and sincere good w ishes lor every success in his new office.

I *How To Read

A BookA m ong the m any interesting,

helpful and useful books to be found in the College Library is one w hich could be read w ith profit by anyone, and which would be of especial interest to those who have a real desire to continue the pro­cess of learning beyond the m ini­mum necessary for the acquisition of a degree. "HOW TO READ A BOOK” by M ortimer J. Adler, is an excellent guide to the art of reading . . . . in the sense of theterm as used by the author.

The book is divided into three parts. The fir st is an am plifica­tion of the question, show ing the present lack of appreciation of the im portance of the art of reading properly; the second consists of an enumeration of the rules for read­ing expository literature; and the third part contains a chapter de­voted to the problems presented by im aginative literature, another de­voted to a discussion of the “great oooks”, and the la st chapter em ­bodies the author’s beliefs in the value of reading these great books to the citizens of a free country.

M any a person claim ing to be a com petent reader would be ad­vised to exam ine ‘How To Read A Book”. Even were h is claim to be justified, his tim e would not have been w asted as the la st sec­tion alone would m ake the book one of outstanding value. Such a person, should note however that it is Mr. Adler’s contention that it is im possible to attain perfection in reading, w e can only approach it more and more closely w ith years of assiduous practice.

Intra-Mural Debates Begun

Affirmative Play Host

“Were the Nurem berg trials m orally and legally ju stif ied ?” The answer w as revealed Friday afternoon when the star debaters of Sophomore, Freshm an and the Loyola D ebating Society tangled in the first intra-m ural debate of the year.

Freshm en had a strong team and they were confident that they would gain a double vic­tory over their more educated fellow collegians who, as usual, look down som ew hat contem pt- u o u s 1 y upon these Fresh­men ‘upstarts’. Garneau and Jeeves of F r e s h m e n faced O’Brien and B ennett (of the L.L.D.S.) in t h e auditorium. Dohan and Shannahan of Sopho­more m et Gervals and Bulgei of Freshm en in Freshm en class, while Boyle and Crevier of Sopho­more played host to Loyola's Roney and Laurin. The home team s were affirm ative.

Three of Freshm an’s debaters are veterans who w ill assuredly have formed very definite view s on the topic and were interesting to hear. One of these, Ben Gar­neau, w as one of the eleven guards who conveyed H jalm ar Schact to Nurenberg for the trial. He had the opportunity to speak to this man on several occasions and therefore w as able to g ive the view s of one of the defendants on the m atter.

The revival of College intra- 1 mural debating on a regular basis augurs w ell for a very good year for D ebating as a whole through­out the school. The outcom e of each debate proved interesting. . .

Father T. J. W ALSH, S. J., ’22, as D irector of the Sacred Heart, now has 32 Canadian Radio S ta ­tions and 2 in Newfoundland spon­soring the Sacred H eart program. The dynamic F. W alsh is to be con­gratulated on the trem endous ex ­pansion of his work.

Eppstein Urges Trained Men

In an interview shortly before his lecture last Sunday night, Mr. John E ppstein remarked upon the need in all countries for trained Catholic leaders. These leaders, he pointed out, would be supplied by such organizations as the N ewm an club, and he spoke w arm ly of the good work already done by these clubs in England. He also remarked

on the fine work being done by the P ax Romana conference through­out the world. Mr. E ppstein also outlined briefly the topic of his ad­dress later th at evening. He w as interviewed a t a special tea given him by the Loyola Ladies’ A uxiliary in the Junior Parlour.

Speaking a t the Loyola Lecture series, la st Sunday, Nov. 3, Mr. Eppstein concentrated on t h e countries in w hich he had recently travelled, g iv ing an account of their social, political, and econom­ic conditions in a post-w ar world.

The destruction, and particular­ly the destruction from bombing, w as outlined by the speaker, which he considered an im portant factor, since it affected the sp irit o f the European nations. H e then spoke of each of the individual countries such as Belgium , France, The Netherlands, A ustria, Italy, Sw it­zerland and Germany, g iv ing an account of their progress, the dif­ficu lties under w hich they labor and the political conditions which now ex ist in each. Mr. Eppstein pointed out the fact, th at in m any

cases the Europeans were not fighting so much against w ant and scarcity as they were against a de­fea tist attitude, which he said w as particularly noticeable in Paris, when there is a feeling of discon­tentm ent and hopelessness.

The part which the allies have played in helping these countries rebuild, w as mentioned, and he em ­phasized the fact that m any coun­tries like Ita ly and A ustria depend on the outside world for salvation.

In conclusion he brought out the religious aspect in these poli­tical affairs, m entioning that the European still had the aim of free thinking. And speaking of the m enace of m aterialism Mr. Ep­stein said that from the war, “The Catholic Church has emerged puri­fied and strengthened.”

“Armistice Day”Twenty-eight years have elapsed since the curtain was

rung down on the first act of the grim warlike tragedy that has characterized this twentieth century up till our time. It was then that a temporarily vanquished German nation ac­cepted the terms of an Armistice that was to herald an epoch of peace and prosperity for the exhausted world. During the years since that memorable day the noble practice of paying honour to those who sacrificed their lives in that first Great War has been adopted, and November 11th sees each of the participant nations paying this well deserved honour in their several ways. Indeed the sceptics have been moved to re­mark that an armistice was signed in 1918 and there have been two minutes of peace in the world each year since.

Clever, if you will, and perhaps containing more than a modicum of truth, yet indicative of a general trend of think­ing that is at once irresponsible and dangerous. For behind its thin veil of sarcasm an attitude of pessimistic defeatism is easily distinguished. Permanent peace, the dream of all ages has never been fully realized, but this in itself is no reason to state that such a state is impossible to achieve. Certainly, so long as our outlook is governed by sentiments such as these, it will be very difficult.

Such' §n attitude coupled with that of persons who have accepted .the inevitability of a third world war, and now merely speculate as to when i t will take place, bodes little good for our immediate future.' Celebrated persons have been known to state that we must fight Russia soon or the world will be lost to the forces of evil embodied in Com­munism. Apparently two such bloody lessons as have been given in the past thirty years do not suffice to teach us that war is the answer to no difficulty, the solution to no problem.

Yet while there are many amongst us who already are commencing to beat the drums of war so recently muted for the most part we shall mark armistice day with grate­ful thoughts for those who served us to the end, and with earnest hopes for an extended period of peace in our time.

The Fume Closet

By BILL PELTON

Importance Of ExampleThe critical condition of the youth of today, demands

eal leaders among those men now attending college. The eason is quite obvious, since our newspapers cry for shame bout the teen-agers, and of the prevalence of delinauency rtiich was prompted by an unfavourable existence during the ime Of war. Those attending college are trained to be ;aders, and it is particularly important that they show good xample to those younger students, who look upon them as heir model.

There is an appeal for a remedy of this situation, which Las so far been unsolved, but a solution will not be found by . sudden suggestion, or someone’s spontaneous idea. Youth aust be shown that there are certain ideals, which we uphold nd when we lose these ideals, we have lost everything. For his reason, we who get a wholesome Christian education hould make it our objective to become a living example of hese ideals and to influence those unguided young people in very way possible.

L.S.

Those rooky chem ists are at it again. The other day a group of them were engaged in preparing Oxygen w ith a view to studying the more obvious properties of that gas. In the method of preparing a m ysterious biack powder known as m anganese dioxide (which has a nasty habit of adhering m ost per­sisten tly to the skin) w as em ­ployed as a catalyptic agent. This pseudo-chem ist of whom w e speak, not realizing that he w as building up a terrific pressure in h is ap­paratus, experienced the aw ful sen­sation one feels when said ap­paratus explodes. Just to add to his discom forture the professor happened to be at the adjacent bench and when a great black cloud w hich enveloped the vicinity had settled, the harrased student had to face the w rath of a very angry and disgusted p r o fe s s o r - done up in black-face. N eedless to say the show w hich follow ed w as hardly performed in the fin est A1 Jolson tradition.

In keeping w ith the tim es Duff Legare has purchased a new car although ‘new ’ is definitely a cor­ruption of the word. N o one knows in w hat year the car w as produced except that it w as a long tim e ago, but it still goes (in a restricted sense of the w ord). I t would how­ever be unjust to say that the car lacks all the conveniences of t l« la test models for it has m any that ] are not to be found in any new car including a w atering can which comes in very handy every half hour or so. B ut there are certain problems w hich do detract from the value of the m achine but they are of little im portance. A part from the fa c t that only the doors on the le ft hand side open, and that the drive-shaft scrapes a little, you could ask for no more, except m aybe a horse.

Someone is slandering the good name of the chem ists. A vicious rumour has been spreading around the college that the chem ist never works. Instead, in lieu of this m ost disagreeable function, they are alleged to go Into the lab, take out a bunsen burner, leave the lab, go into the balance room and sing. F ollow ing th at they leave the balance room, go back to the lab but only for a m om ent to show everyone that they are still there, then return to the balance room and sing som e more. Would that such were the c a s e . But sad to relate th is is not true. Chem ists do a lo t more besides w alk and sing. Since w e know of no hotel that has a balance room the words recall only unhappy as­sociations.

Champ Camirand, ‘The L ittle K ing’ is worried. Someone has told him that if he w ants to p lot the curve for H ook’s law he’ll have to learn Calculus. A s only he can do it Champ blew up. “P hysics I don’t understand,” Calculus I can’t even spell!” I w ant to be a doctor not a m athem atician.” Champ don’t be so concerned, a fter all you can’t lead a fu ll life w ith ­out studying Calculus.

Perhaps if one W illiam ‘Forky’ Kennedy he of the g listen ing pate, had read this column a little more assiduously, he would not have made the foolish blunder w hich re­sulted in near pandemonium in one of the chem istry labs during a recent session w ith organic chem istry. W illiam, exhibiting an unfortunate lack of know ledge of fume closets, neglected to open the sliding g lass doors w ith which those devices are so often fitted, and in a valiant attem pt to place a fum ing beaker into the hood dealt the front piece quite a blow. Had he been a little stronger a sm all bill for dam ages would have followed him home in the next mail. Such conduct m ay conform to bowling alley regulations, but around Loyola our mode of be­havior is much more exacting.

The P hysics lab sem s to abound in p itfa lls for the aspiring lawyer.

(Continued on P age 3)

For the past four issues this first paragraph of the Tower has contained excuses for lack of editors, explana­tions about dates of publication, and numerous other re­marks intended to exonerate the staff from blame. We had hoped this week to avoid a repetition of this, but circum­stances, with a nasty leer, stepped in and crossed us up once more. Instead of coming out last Friday as intended, here we are appearing on Tuesday and off schedule once again. The policy from now on is that neither the dark of night, the in­experience of the staff, or the other commitments of the printer will stay these couriers from their appointed rounds . . . but the dates of publication will remain one of the im­ponderables, a subject for smoker conjecture and editorial anguish. The answer to this will be given only when the News appears in the student’s hands by the Grace of Cod and the effort of the staff. From now on, any one asking the editor when the next issue will appear, will receive in answer, a stony glare, possibly accompanied by a knife in the back, and almost certainly followed by a weak but hysterical laugh. So much for explanations . . . from now on we will offer no excuses to anyone, with the exception of the faculty.^ - It was certainly encouraging to see the way the men turned out for the first communion breakfast of the year last Thursday morning. It was a pretty strong habit a few years back, when the men could be seen rushing to class stuffing a last bun into their mouths, and wiping off the marmalade. However, since the cafeteria facilities became so limited the attendance fell off rather badly, for apparently the thought of going to class with nothing more sustaining than a mushed cheese sandwich discouraged a lot of the boys. But judging from the two hundred and sixty individuals who turned out for mass, communion and breakfast last week the custom lias been revived and restored to its full vigor. (For the benefit of the Alumni, the trick was done by using caterers in the cafeteria). Although some of the men professed unhappiness at the breakfast served . . . a sugar bun rampant on a field of baked beans . . . Father Daly, the Sodality moderator and mail in charge has stated that from now on this minority will be able to make a choice between the beans and scrambled eggs. But who wants eggs when they can get beans? (Give your answer to your class representative).

We have a letter to hand from Ronnie MacDonald, an old Loyola man now spending his time at Saint Francis Xavi­er University in Antigonish. Ron was one of the best high- school editors this paper ever enjoyed, and he teamed up with such men as Jack O’Brien and Rus Breen to make the News a fine paper for the year ’44-’45. He writes to say that into his life in Antigonish there creeps every ten days a little ray of sunshine and culture in the form of the Loyola News, which is read (Loyola men never forget what they learn here, no matter where they go later) with great inter­est. Ron . . . knowing our inherent indolence will no doubt recognize these remarks for what they really are: namely an answer to his letter, and a large hello to himself and all such exiles.

The halls of the high school have been echoing with strange chants and invocations recently, and these have been the subject for some conjecture on the part of those college men not fortunate enough to be in the know. For the benefit of these gentry, those chants are the results of Father Di­vine’s progressive French course. The favorite ditty seems to be a ouaint little number known as Frere Jacques. Using what little French we have left to translate the chansons seemed to be an exhortation to brother Jim to get out of bed on the double and to save the life of a cat expiring in a nearby artesian well, and thereby save the drinking system from con­tamination. It sounded quite classical to us, although the theme of the work is hardly on a par with the melody. We’ll have to keep our eye on Father Divine . . . if that keeps up he’ll soon be calling the roll in a sing-song voice.

Recently some of the men decided to remove the dirt of two wars from the floors of the News Room, and give us a little more space. Big Moose McCarney was selected as the man most liable to succeed in heaving the heavier items around, and Mac puffed and strained for some time. After the dust had settled, the filing cabinets had changed places, broken chairs, assorted unwanted garments of clothing, and bushels of paper had disappeared, while two pairs of stilts were lodged in a corner. These should come in pretty handy when we want to pass over those muddy paths to the Junior Building. The office is now clean (for what will probably be but a brief space of time), but we warn all teachers and boarders to lock their rooms when they leave them. Other­wise they are liable to find them occupied by a flourishing squatter movement, under the leadership of the Loyola News. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Those who hail from warmer clim ates have been eyeing the w ea ther w ith a certain am ount of apprehension, the signs of approaching w inter m ay be seen on all sides. The boards for the outdoor skating rink have been piled next the horseshoe pitch aw aiting the first frost, and Brother W olke has been staring at the Stadium floor w ith a great deal more interest than mere earth should inspire, unless the gooc Brother has taken up geology as a hobby. Another sure sign th at the balm y days of sum m er have gone is the w ay that the boarders have changed their pace on the w ay to the chapel. W hat used to be ; leisurely stroll is now more in the nature of a hundred yard dash Good training, but doubtless it can be seen w hy the boarders have more than an im personal interest in the com pletion of the Centra'.

The other day w e were approached by Mr. Tasse, (w e were tactfu' enough not to enquire if his first name w as D em i), who w as in searclof som e tobacco. H is m outh w a s * ---------------------------------decorated at the tim e w ith w hat we w ill euphim istically call a pipe. The bowl of this aforesaid pipe m easur­ed about seven m illim etres in cir­cumference and w as united to the stem by several w indings of scotch tape. An estim ate of the consum p­tion of this . . . this . . . object would have to be measured in deci­m al places, and when we asked Mr.Tasse him self as to the origin of it, we found that it w as not the cast­off finery, (the pun w as uninten­tional), of some reformed dope ad­dict, but w as just an ordinary pipe w ith no startling history behind it.N eedless to say we were highly dis­appointed. . .

Speaking of puns, distaste has been expressed in certain quarters over the use of this form of w it in a paper w ith such high literary standing. So it seem s necessary to reach for the old battle axe and start sw inging. A ccording to som e­one, w e haven’t bothered to find out who, pun is the low est form of humor . . . when somebody else thinks of it first. We abide by this definition. However, for the bene­fit of those who consider them ­selves part of the upper crust, and we mean the crumbs, remember that W illie Shakespeare had no aversion to the use of this low ly form of gag. W ith this crushing blow w e leave the subject of puns . . . for a while.

Those who have been around Loyola for a few years w ill have noticed that the Old Grey Mare has yielded to the age of speed and has been supplanted by its modern counterpart, the little grey tractor.N ot a com plete break w ith tradi­tion, as both are grey. Of late this tractor has been much in evidence around the school, and is becoming a fam iliar sight, and now to it has been added the additional dignity of a cabin, and the results are am azing. I t looks like the super­structure of a harbour tu g on wheels. Jet propulsion, here we come!

For the benefit of those who have wondered at the exclusion of class reports in previous issues, also this one, they w ill be back as soon as we can organize the re­porters. The m eeting of those in­terested in the "News” has taken place, and a large number showed up. However, there were only one or two boys representing Second High, and none at all from Prep.We are ju st as anxious to have boys from Prep., as from other years, but perhaps there w as som e excuse for the younger boys. No such excuse can be found to ac­count for the lack of interest shown by the grand-daddy’s of Second High, however, and on these we turn the old frigid stare.

and cigarettes. E specially cigar­ettes. Tne new men are discovering ihat life is not a bed ot roses, or chat ac any rate that even roses are pretcy thorny. I t is hard to re­alize now just w nich boys are new, and whicn are old. Both groups nave the sam e air of being lords 01 all they survey. You know, that piercing, far-aw ay look.

Some ot the more m ature m em ­bers of the h igh school have de­veloped the habit of appearing in class on Monday morning w ith a carefully developed grow th ot fuzz ju st south ox their sidelights. This ghastly effect is obtained by liberal application of hair-restorer. The nam es of those concerned m ust be w ithheld for the sake of doting parents who still believe their little Johnny to be in the m arble-playing stage and who m ight find the sud­den shock too much for them. The general idea at the back of the minds of this m isguided m inority is to im press the teachers that they have reached the age of reason, or perhaps manhood, and are there­fore to be treated as adults. This m ay have its points, but it m ay be difficult to convince street-car con­ductors that they are still eligible tor blue tickets. I t is possible to m ention the nam e of Mr. Shean, (and here the old question arises, “Which on e?”) as we have it on good authority that he now uses blades in his razor. This m ust give him a certain feeling of superiority over the common herd, and no doubt, this is h is reason for the drastic step.

If anyone can give inform ation as to the w hereabouts of Carl “Os­trich” Outridge on Saturday, the tw enty-sixth of October, between the hours of four and six , please g et in touch w ith any m em ber of the Fourth H igh Dorm., as w e all take an interest in the little man. Really, Carl, we though you were above that level. One of the intelli- gentia, no less. And so young, too!

One bright young thing su ggest­ed that the Central Buiiding would be more appropriately named if it were called the Tower of Babel. There does seem to be som ething in common, but as yet w e have not given up hope as there has been considerable progress w ithin the last w eek or so, and som e are re­new ing their anticipation of seeing its completion. The “N ew s” has been promised a corner in it, and the editor has been snooping around to find out ju st where. Surely he has more hopes of p ass­ing than that.

There is a lad in high school whom we believe to be really w or­thy of m ention as a boy who is a real Loyola man.

St. Leo’s were leading five to nothing w hen the play w as halted and a penalty w as called against Catholic H igh for illegal use of hands or som e such offence. While Frank U lley w as m eting out the penalty, one CHS m an turned to another and said, “Just because w e’re trailing at the m om ent does­n’t mean to say that you have any right to break the rules of the game. And if you don’t quit it, I ’ll report you to the coach!”

N othing more need be said, but hundreds of people who heard that boy now admire him and the school a great deal more. He is a credit to his coach, his team, his school and the sport that he participates in. Our hats are off to this great sportsman.

About this tim e of the football season, m ost minds turn towards the choosing of all-star team s. No, we aren’t going to choose any dream team s, but w e would like to say a few words about the men who, in our m odest opinion, de­serve this great honour of city- wide recognition.

P utting first things first, w e’ll start w ith the College Football team. Four men are m usts on any all-star team , for they are the ones who formed the backbone of this very powerful and aggressive ag­gregation. Anyone who has the fa in test idea of w hat constitutes true pigskin prowess, w ill auto­m atically name K eith E nglish as a half-back on this team . In our estim ation, he is the best all-round back to play in a Maroon and W hite sw eater in the la st ten years. If any proof for this sta te ­ment is demanded, w e need only refer you to the fifteen hundred fans who w itnessed la st Saturday’s gam e against McGill. E nglish crossed the Red and W hite goal- line for three touchdowns in a gam e that was, in the estim ation of Referee Frank U lley, the best Interm ediate F ootball gam e that observer has ever seen. A s our second nominee, w e forward the name of Justin Kiselius. K issy

Junior Clinch League Cup

B y Earl W ynands.In defeating CHS 16-6 last F ri­

day, the Loyola Juniors captured the Junior Inter-scholastic champ­ionship. The first quarter saw Loy­ola running wild over CHS yet they were unable to h it paydirt. The second quarter opened w ith Loyola on the B lack and W hite 5- yard line. Hard h itting McKinney bucked through the line to score the first Loyola major. The convert was not completed. CHS then w ent to town on their forward passes racking up several first downs. A costly fum ble on their own 45- yard line enabled Loyola’s middle, Harry Mulcair, to scoop up the ball and start down the field. P ete La- rocque provided beautiful blocking as Mulcair crossed the line.

Mehan, who played a standout gam e, completed the convert. Loy­ola’s hopes of an easy victory were crushed when H oskinson scored on an end run. H ayes com pleted the convert to make the score Loyola 11, CHS 6.

It w asn’t until the final m inutes of the gam e that Lornie Brown upped the Loyola score five points on a quarterback sneak.

George Meehan, McKinney, Sam M c G e e , Murray O'Shaughnessy, Lorne Brown, Herbie E nglish and Jack Picard were outstanding in the Loyola backfield. P ete La- rocque, “Moon” Melvin, and Harry Mulcair starred on the line.

The Loyola win removed all doubt as to w hether they were able to beat the powerful B lack and W hite. Tomorrow Coach Eddie M eaghers boys go up against the underdogs of the league, Daniel O’Connell.

The above schedule is the best than can be form ulated due to the fa c t th at the class schedules do not allow each team to m eet up With every other team in the College. In order to g e t around this d ifficulty, it has been decided to use the Shaughnessy p lay-off plan a t the end of the season, th at is, the first and fourth-placed team s m eeting, and the second and third placed team s m eeting. There w ill then be a final betw een the tw o w inners.

If a gam e cannot be played on the date assigned, then these team s w ill have TWO W EEK S in w hich to play the contest and hand in the results to the L.C.A.A. Volunteer referees are w anted for a ll gam es Please hand in your nam es to Owen M aloney or John M eagher.

DELICIOUS DARK CHOCOLATE khM.ro a ste d a lm o n d s

A r o u n d t h e C a m p u sBy Bob Boyle

The LCAA came through w ith one of the sm artest m oves seen in Loyola sport circles, by distributing the coaching positions to a large number of individuals. In form er years the practice has been to g ive one man charge of tw o or more team s w ith the result that champion­ships were few and far between.

Loyola are only one gam e aw ay from their first Interm ediate pro­vincial championship since 1938, and tom orrow’s battle w ill fin ish off the rought spots for the im portant Macdonald gam e n ext Saturday. A ll the injuries suffered in the hard three gam e w eek seem ed to have responded n icely to treatm ent, and all the regulars, w ith the excep­tion of Captain Bernie McCallum, w ill be back in the line-up.

Bernie’s torn knee ligam ents are still painful, and unless the team advances into the Dominion playdowns, the veteran captain w ill be finished w ith football for th is year.

Ever since th at 13-12 tie betw een the Alum ni and the col­lege team the oldsters have been clam oring for a return m atch, and one is slated for n ext Sunday afternoon, the 17th. “The spirit of 96” think that w ith one gam e’s experience under their belts they can take the potential cham ps. Incidentally this gam e w ill be played on the day follow ing the championship Macdonald classic, so in a ll probability the “old Men” w ill be facing the new Inter­collegiate Provincial champs.

The campus sports whirl m oves faster and faster every day. With football w ell into its la st quarter the basketball squad are beginning their lim bering up exercises in preparation for their opening contest against Dawson, N ov. 13. F ather H anley and Leo Charlevoix have been named to the coaching spots, and a t present are in the process of weeding out likely candidates.

That college Intram ural basketball league has taken a long tim e gettin g under w ay, but the fau lt in no w ay lies w ith those in charge. The LCAA executive have had their hands fu ll trying to fathom the conflicting class schedules and fittin g them to coin­cide w ith the basketball slate. H owever all is in readiness for the classic opening. I t should be quite a league, especially if it is patterned on the sty le of the Intram ural hockey league of tw o seasons back. Reports via the grapevine indicate that Senior Science are the team to beat. Jim m y Leahy, Gerry F lannagan, W ild B ill Kennedy, and a number of the other Senior hoopsters have been holding secret sessions in preparation for the league opener.

W hile on the subject of Intram ural activ ities, there is good news on the hockey angle in that W ednesday and Sunday nights have been allotted to the college for their Intram ural gam es. Looks like a busy season in the Inter class loop; and tim e for the LCAA to polish up som e of their fine Intram ural trophies that have been gathering dust in the show cases.

The future of the college team, should they win the Interm ediate title, is still som ew hat doubtful. A s the situation now stands, if they beat Macdonald they then have the right to advance to the Dominion finals against W estern Colts- A s yet no arrangem ents have been made betw een the two schools, but it ’s hoped that such a golden oppor­tunity w on’t be passed up. We don’t for a minute say that the col­legians w ill beat W estern, as we know very little about th is squad, but for the sake o f the players who have had a very hard and long season it is only right that they should be given a chance a t the Dominion title.

The announcement by the LCAA of the basketball coaches for the com ing year indicates that this new executive is out to m ake basket­ball “big-tim e” a t Loyola. A ll the men in charge of the team s are experienced, and the end of the basket season should see a number of titles a t the school. Perhaps this build-up of basketball is a follow - up on the rumor that hockey is in for a letdown this season. The In­tercollegiate Provincial League looks like a thing of the past, although it w as in operation one season. I f a squad isn ’t entered in th is loop then it ’s possible that the only college hockey team w ill be that in the Interm ediate league; and from the w ay that loop is organized it would be better for the sake of the players and fans, to keep the team out of the league.

Gordie M ariott’s Senior H igh squad find them selves in a rather awkward position come Sunday afternoon; when they take the field in their la st scheduled contest o f the year against CHS. The collegians need th is w in badly to sow up their third consecutive league title . They didn’t look bad against S t. Leo’s Sunday, though under such conditions it ’s d ifficu lt to estim ate the p laying ability of any team .

Just w hat w ill happen if Loyola does take the championship re­m ains to be seen. W est Hill, who have been inactive this season be­cause of a P rotestant league ruling th at banned school ball for this year, are reported to be w illing to challenge Loyola should they come out on top. Such a contest would definitely draw w ell a t the gate, but should not be billed as a C ity Championship affair. N o m atter who w ins the league title in the Catholic league, th at team should autom atically be considered as City Champs in view of the fa c t th at the P rotestant champion is not liable to take the title.

However, all this championship talk is a bit premature, and w e’ll have to see w h at happens next Sunday before considering the m atter any further.

LCAA Announces New CoachesCordie Mariott To Coach College Hockey Squad

Rev. Lester Carroll, S.J., D i­rector of A thletics, in conjunc­tion w ith the Loyola College A thletic A ssociation, announced the appointm ents of basketball and hockey coaches for the com­ing season.

B ecause of the uncertainty of the future College hockey, no coach w as assigned to that team. B ut it w as announced that Fr. Hanley, S.J., and Leo Charle­voix would handle the College basketball squad. Fr. H anley had a great deal of experience in this gam e when he coached var­ious W estern team s. Leo Charle­voix, who la s t year starred for the College basketeers, has con­sented to help Fr. H anley out w ith the team.

The hockey enthusiasts in the high school w ill be delighted to hear that three very fine coaches

have been assigned to handle the reins of their team s. The Seniors w ill have a very experienced m entor in Fr. John MacDonnell,S.J. B acked by years of exper­ience w ith Junior and Senior Royals and an offer of a hockey scholarship to the U n iversity of Southern California, Fr. M ac­Donnell is certainly in a fine position to handle a Senior squad. The Juniors w ill have C liff Ma­lone, a star on the College championship squad of la s t year, and a mem ber of the Montreal R oyals o f the Quebec Senior H ockey League, as their coach. This appointm ent has m et w ith very favourable approval in ali circles. The B antam s w ill have as their coach Ed M eagher, a man who has three football championships to his credit, and has had a grea t deal of hockey experience w ith the W ing W heel­ers, Provincial cham ps in' 1944.,

and is on the negotiation li3 t of the D etroit Red W ings of the N ational H ockey League.

For the high school basket­ball team s, the follow ing have consented to act in coaching capacities. The Seniors w ill be handled by Howie McCarney and T at Norris, form er Regiopolis star; the Juniors w ill be coached by Mr. Dehler, S.J., a man who brings to Loyola a w ealth of basketball experience. Jack H il­ton o f Freshm an A rts w ill handle the Bantam entry in the Inter­scholastic basketball loop. He coached the sam e team la st year, and even greater success is ex­pected of him.

Gordie M ariott who coached the college team to its first In­terprovincial championship has been named to handle the reins of the college team this season.

Joe McArdle w ill coach the Juniors.

Pictured above are three big reasons why the college squad is well on the way to the Intermediate championship. Left to right the are: Vic Latimer, hard hitting centre, who has played a full 60 minutes in all the college games. Captain Bernie McCallum veteran middle. Bernie is on the sidelines with knee trouble and is not expected to see action for the remainder of the season. Paul Shaughneasy, last of the fames Shaughnessy clan, has risen to stardom with his terrific line plunging.

Swimmers Plan For New Season

In a few w eeks tim e Swim m ing practices w ill get under w ay for both the college and high school. This year’s schedule w ill include more sw im m eets, along w ith a few exhibition w ater polo gam es. So far there are three sw im events in view, tw o of w hich are high school m eets, these are the K nights of Columbus, the W allace Caven m eets, the other is the Loyola col­lege and high school sw im contest which w ill be held in the spring.

The popularity of sw im m ing com petition reached a new high la st year, w hen the maroon and w hite aquatic squad won the city championship and w as a runner- up in the W allace Caven provincial championship m eet. I t is believed that w ith the necessary practice the Loyola squad w ill take all the honors this year.

Sportively(Continued from P age 4)

these points in mind, w e m ake so bold as to nam e D inty O’Shaugh- nessy, George B ossy, Tommy Brown, Paul Gallagher and Norm Shamie to our all-star team. O’Shaughnessy, B ossy and Shamie were picked because they are the ones who have been responsible for stopping the powerful plunging attacks of McGee and Catholic H igh so far this year. Gallagher w as named for his deadly tackling ability, rem iniscent of V al Chatier, P aul’s cousin, and a form er Loyola great.

Well, since the last tim e we were w ith you the much heralded Hard Tim es Frolics becam e his­tory. And a great affair it w as, too, really m eriting the title ‘Hard Tim es’. Times certainly were hard for characters like Paul ‘B u gs’ Laberge and Bob ‘Looie’ Guimond. Poor B ugs m ust have had a tough day in class, for after 10 p.m., he just curled up in the check room (his battle station) and w ent to s ’eep. Come trum pets and high notes, yet ‘B ugs’ wouldn’t budge. Some gentle hum ourist placed a placard on the check room counter beside ‘B u gs’ ’ bowed head w hich read, “Help the Blind (D runk).” Now we know for certain th at all ‘B ugs’ had to drink th at evening w as a cup of coffee, but you know how these things g e t around. F ur­thermore, ‘B ugs’ isn’t worried a bit about such idle slander, in fact, he would like to thank the unknown wit, for you see, ‘B ugs’ made two- f ifty that w ay.

However, the story of Bob ‘Looie’ Guimond hasn’t such a happy end­ing. A s all who attended the Frolix know how Lou w as the head w ait­er. He w as gaudily bedecked in green c o r d u r o y pants, greasy apron, plaid shirt, vest and turned- up baseball cap. A ll w ent w ell un­til the tim e came for clearing aw ay the dirty dishes, then the trouble began. A s he precariously balanced a trayful of em pty cups he w as set upon by Sm iling Joe Roney, Char­lie Phelan and B ill ‘Fum e Closet’ Pelton. A fter som e heated words the tray w as snatched from his fa iling grasp and he w as roughly seized. H owever w ith a clever tw ist he eluded his captors and retreated to the sa fe ty of the kitchen. Who knows w hat the trouble w as m ay­be those cups w eren’t em pty?

Speaking of B ill Pelton; ju st in case you didn’t already realize it, B ill is a scientist. He proved it when he arrived a t the Frolix drap­ed in an old acid-eaten Lab coat. It it not bad enough that he brings his assorted aromas to the lecture room and the College paper, but even to a social. That is carrying things too far. Personally, after in­vestigating the case, we feel that B ill ought to be ‘Fum e-igated’. And we ought to know -se— (Ouch!)

Maurice Scarpelleggia acted as head doorman and doubled as a bouncer. N evertheless he found tim e to flit in his own graceful, inim itable sty le from table to table snapping picture photos w ith his ever-present camera. A ll this w as accomplished by the rhythm of popping flash bulbs. N o doubt Scarp made a pretty penny selling copies of his snaps but considering all the peiople he succeeded in blinding that evening this is only right and just.

Handsome Charlie M eredith put in an appearance — and w h at an appearance. He arrived toting a double barreled shotgun. This caused yours truly som e mom en­tary panic since w e suspect that Charles knows the identity of the murder (or murders) of the much Lamented H enry and his deceased m ate Cleo. We are of the opinion that suave Charlie is out gunning for these killers and is thereby taking the law into his own beau­tiful hands. H ow ever Charlie is a philosopher and is reasonable, so Scarp w as able to persuade him to check his equalizer a t the door. In this manner bloodshed w as aver­ted. However in the future take care when you see Charlie rushing down the corridor m uttering to him self. You m ay be sure that Charlie has a long m em ory and w ill avenge this m ost heinous of crimes.

For the last hour or so w e have been racking our brains (w hat we have of them ) trying unsuccess­fu lly to find a suitable quotation w ith w hich to end this boring monologue. H owever it is late a t night and w e are very, very tired and the only appropriate phrase w hat comes to mind are those fam ous words of H am let’s ‘To die, to sleep”— oh hum, to sleep . . . zzzz.

W e begin this column, or w h at’s le ft of it, (if as happened last w eek the editor cuts it in half to make w ay for the picture of a bull) w ith bent nead and a profound sense of hum ility. For it has been forcibly drawn to our attention that Ger- vais is now being spelt w ith a ‘G’, and that Paul M acDonald’s real name is Edward. M y it must have been the printer.

We w ish to welcom e to our m idst a new inm ate D ’Anguillecourt, (m isery likes com pany), and also Roger M aiihot minus appendix.

VIEWING THE VETERANS

N o doubt m ost of the “hungry v ets” w ill look som ew hat happier this w eek due to the presentation of those all im portant documents,

the pay-cheques.H owever there m ay still be a few

aristocrats w ith countenances of usual deep concern, probably be­cause of a final exam in Trigono­m etry tom orrow morning—as if that should m ake any difference.
