Add to this Father Rivard's occupation in his priestly duties, preac hing the gospel, supp lying the places of absent priests, giving retreats, and during all this time holding some office of esponsibility at the College and it must be concluded that Father Rivard led a singularly full and very active life. It was, in the midst of all th ese duties which he made a pleasure t h at he received a d ifficult Obedience when he was asked to assume the position of Master of Novices and later Provincial.

Thi S' is no idle suggest ion for years ago h e h eard th e words in a funera l sermon: " Like the exi le long banish ed from hi s native co untry a s h e returns, stoops l .::> ki ss t h e soi l o f t h e la nd th a t gave him birth, so too the trave1ler in this world exil ed from hom e w h en his life clo ses his h eart expand s w ith joy as h e kn e els to kiss th e feet o f his h eavenly Fath er ". With tears in hi s eyes h e a dmitted the sentim e nt w as his very own a nd w ish e d tha t so me day it mi g ht be said of him. For, those who saw a n y th in g a t a ll o f hi m since he was fir st stric k e n by ' his morta l malady, ca n testify to th e co mpl e te o therworldiness of his thoughts and that far fr o m 'cas tin g one wistful g la n ce behind ' h e w as c h ee r~ fully an d patie ntly awa iting the fin a l ca ll from his L ord and Mast e r.

'Vhen the curtain drotmed u pon the 1!:120 football season, the g1· idiro n car ee 1· of one ot: Viator's greatest athletes was brought to a c lose. For four years Byron Evarcl has been one of the main stays of the backfield and has been one

It w ill be a hard job to fill the p lace o! this "JitUe giant."

to 6 in favor ot: the IDiltoppers. Coac h Robertson's powerful eleven was Loo much for the gang from Bourbonnais, but bad b1·eaks and tough opposition did not dim the fighting spiri t of the Green \¥ave. T he game, played under illumination from the sun's only rival , was witne::Jsed by a large crowd. Via· to1·'s score came at the close of the second quarter when Evard returned a Bradley kickoff and ran ninety yards for a touchdown. \Volfe looked good

The season opened at home on Sep lCmber 27th in true Broadway style with floodlights g leaming down u pon a lnrge and excited crowd. This game with Southern Illinois Slate No rmal University of Carbo n dale will go dow n in history as the first game to be played between two Little Nineteen Ec hools under the g lare of the huge 1·eflectors. The Ir ish , though ou tweigh ed, kept the Southern T eachers at bay ro 1• three whole quarters, b ut wer e not able to stem the tide w h en t h e T each ers took a sudden spurt in the latter part or the fo u rth qua.rter and with a passi ng attack crossed the Viator goal line. Their attempt for the extra JJOi n t failed. The Irish threats to scor e we1·e numerous but the brea ks a lways kept them !rom crossing the Pedago· gue's goa l. Evard return ed some of the enemy's punts with great sk ill, amd Furlong and Todd furnished some ex· cellent punting. The final score of 6 to 0 was a to u g h blow to the McAil is-

fo 1· the Technicians while Evard and Clothier f urnished the action for the I r is h.

H om ecomin g at Millikin Viator furnishe d the Homecoming at· traction for Mill iki n at Decatur on Nov· ember 2nd, but were u nable t o pe n e· trate t h e hard-hitting Blue line. Corbetl and Heid in ger or t he Decat u r crew were celebrating Hom~oming festivi · ties and could not be stopped, each con· trib u ti n g two to u ch downs to t he Bl u e cause. Toohill of the Viatorians gave t h e spectators cold shivers when he intercepted a n e n emy pass and started fo1· a touchdow n , but was mowed dow n by one of the swift Mill ikin backs.

Evard was the li fe of the I rish u ntil he was forced to retire in the first part of the thi1·cl quarter with a n injured nose. Fu1· lon g a nd Hamilton a lso looked mighty good but their efforts were vain. Viator threatened to score at the start of the th ird period but the strong Millildn grldsters decided other wise.

Teachers' fie ld on November 23rd in the fina l game of t h e season for the local boys. Charleston pushed over the lone touchdown of the game in the first quarter a f ter an 80 yard march down the field which the Green were unable to check. The whole Ir ish team rose to heights u nprecedented this season but the breaks were against them.

T hey foug h t like wildcats, b locked li ke stone walls, and were still rushing the-ir opponents w h en t he time was u p . Evard and Furlong fo r St. Viator, a n d Gib· son, Ashmore and Fenoll o for t h e teach· ers, were outstandi n g. T he 6 to 0 score does not tell of t h e efforts made by the McAllister boys in an attempt to score.

So ends on e of the most clisasterou s seasons in the histo r y of footbal l at St. Viator, but plans a re a lready being m ade to regain the g 1·ou nd nex t year which was lost this year. T h e I rish wlll be out for revenge and it is the hope of a ll t he ir support ers t h at t hey will be able to ann ihilate ever y oppo-

The morale of the team was ~omewhat shaken in the second quarter when \Vesteyan scored on a punt which Furlong had attempted to bOot from behind his own goal li n e. Before the half ended the Titans had scored two more touchdowns. Viator scored their Qn ly touchdown o-f the fracas in the th ird quart.el· when Gibbons galtoped acros~ the 'Yesleyan line with a ]Jass from Gorman. The tremendous amount of e!t:o1·t 1·equired to put over this one touchtiown tired the Viator boys to such an extent that they were unabl e to stop the powerful Methodist eleve n in the fin a l quarter when they scored t\V() more touchdowns.
