A great Viator football team emerged victorious in the ir game with the Notre Dame Reserves, Saturday, October 6, as a large crowd looked on. The final score, 21 to 13 is a fair estirriation of the interesting and strongly contested game. The first home game of the season was just like a telegram of good news for the student body and local friends of the Viator grid men. Before the Notre Dame game the only estimates of the team's worth was necessarily influenced by the final out" come of the Marquette-Viator contest, a ·.fact not particularly reassuring unless the offensive and defensive strength of the Marquette team was fully kno,~n and appreciated.

Gubernatorial Candidate Gives Interesti ng Address
Floyd E. Thompson, former· justice of the Illinois Supreme Court, and now democratic cand idate for state governor addressed the studeflt body on Wednesday evening, October 3rd. Judge Thompson was introduced by the Rev. E. V. Cardinal, vice-presidennt of the College.

Stresses Need of Education · - Judge Thompson did not speak on anything concerning a political issue in the present campaign. His entire speech 'concerned itself with an appeal for college men to take an enthusiastic and in telligent particip:_ation in civic affai r s. This, he asserted, must come from educatidn. "You cannot make the prope~ preparation for life without ed ucation. It is not import~ ant how you acquire an educatio~, but rather whether or not you have it.
