Father Harrison Perhaps a number of the students fail to realize or unwitting ly overlook the pari that Father Harr ison and his Senior Basketba ll League play during the long winter months from Christmas to early spring. This obsen-ation is merely to remind t h e thoughtless and to inform Father Harrison that his efforts in organizing and managing the league are not unobser ved and un appreciated.

Before the Christmas hol:days, the prospects of a tiresome, monotonous, uneYentful interim until play is resumed in the spr ing, faces the uninitiated. The old-timers, howeYer, ha,·e learned to look forward with pleasure to the tough batt les and amusing incidents that character:ze the acti,·ities of the Senior League. ::.\Iany are the eYenings that would otherwise be dull that are delightfully tilled for the entire student body in watching the 11ntics of friends or roommates as they battle against exYarsity basketball men or against the heay,·weights fresh from the gridiron. Perfect organization under Father Harrison's direction has always kept the teams fairly e\-enly matched with fhe aces of the games diYided equally among the ,-arious league captains. Father Harrison's untiring labor with the interests of the students always :lt heart is responsible fo r the league's unique record-it has ne \-er disbanded before the close of the season.

The affirmative were better on delivery.

They were humorous at t:mes, and as confidential as life insu rance agents. At the outset they co nducted themse lves in a gracious :md commendable manner, rebutting

Stafford, howe\'er, failed to imbibe this amiable spirit or to adopt their suave deme::mor. 'Vith the callousness and hard-heartedness of an experienced debater, he expended his constructi\'e speech in a most caustic and biting attack on the affirmative position. Although some\vhat demoralized ty such aggressi,·e tactics th e affirmati\"e came back in true sryle in the last constructi,·e speech and from then on the affair was marked by 3 ,;gor and ,;tality seldom observed in so sedate and intellectual an acth;ty.

STATE CATHOLIC TOURNAMENT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL (Continued from first page) while the closeted referees and other officials decided upon the awards and ;:hose an all-tournament team .

The Grand Prize, donated by Rt. TP Rev. B. J. Shiel, D. D., .w ent to _ Spalding. This trophy is to remain in the possession of the State Chamoions only as long as they remain State Cha.mpions, but if one team .vins the State Championship for ~hree successive seasons, it then be~omes the property of the team.

3pald ing was also g iven the Rev. fames N. Fitzgerald t rophy, the 31 C)ermanent first I?rize a-ward. St. Via tor Academy received t h e Thomas ~eroy Warmer Cup for second place 1onors. The third prize c1:1p, dona.t ed lY the St. Viator College Extension ~ lub, was taken

by Corpus Christi >f Galesburg who also won the right ;o carry home the Sportsrnanship rrophy, the Central Prep Conference =:up. Voegele, Spalding's star for.vard, earned the individual award ~ i ven to the most valua.}Jle player.

The following All-Tournament :hoice of players was announced by ~ - Connor: Bosquette, St. Viator, fo rw ard .

Voegele, Spalding, forward.

Peters, Spalding, center.

Foley, Corpus Christi, guard.

Brouillette, St. Viator, guard.

A resume oi each game of the ourney follows: ST. BEDES WINS The St. Bedes basketball team hawed unusual strength by trimning the fast Carlyle outfit 41-11. :he Bedans stepped out in the lead .rom the start of the game, soon ran 1p a commanding lead, which they ncreased during the second half.

Father Freehill used most of his econd sh·ing men during the second 1alf.

Leydorf with five baskets and l!ahon with four led the scoring for 1.l he victors. Ziernan looked best for ' I he loser s.

VIATOR SHOWS CLASS Close defensive play was exhibited 1y the St. Viator and Woodstock tuintets during the first period. The l iatorians managed to break through or 12 markers , while the boys from ¥oodstock could only register six uch merits .

In the final period the Viatorians •pened up and quickly · added points o their score. St. Mary's was helpess. Bosquette, Hodge, and Hayes tarred for Viator, while Leonard .nd Stone led their team in scoring. ~he final sco re was 26 to 17.

CLOSE GAME Aquin High of Freeport, though :reatly handicapped by size and 1eight, gave the powerful Trinity ~igh of Bloomington plenty of com•etition during the first ha.lf. The •lucky little basketeers managed to .eep the score low. At the ha lf the core stood a 9 to 9 tie.

In the second half, the Bloomingon quintet emerged from their ofensive slump. Kelly and Waterson asily registered 9 and 5 points repectively. Kehoe slipped in an aditional 4 points for the Freeport quad. The final score was 21 to 19. lloomington was fighting ha.r d in deense of its championship ti tle.
