(Second of a series of articles on the Senior Athletes of the College.) By Jacl< Lannon Ten years ago, a green clad team r epresenting St. Viator gained a hard fought victory against DeKalb Teachers at DeKalb. It was a game of thrills, and on that day names which have gone down in the Viator hall of fame, rose to their heights. I n the stands was a small lad, so favorably impressed that it became his immed iate ' and unceasing ambition to follow the Viator warriors, and maybe some day even attend the school of the Green Wave' and follow in th e footsteps of his idols. Sbc years later Danny Blazevich enrolled at St. Viator college and the realization of a boy..: hood dream had come true. Danny preped at DeKalk High School, where -· he won four letters in football, four in basketball and two in track. H e captained a championsbJp team in basketball in bJs fourth year, and received a berth on the DeKalb Teachers Invitation Tournament team. In his freshman year at St. Viator Danny won bJs lett~r in football andbasketball, and since then bas capably developed into one of the greats in both s ports. In Blazevich followers of the Green Wave found a brand of football seldom seen outside the lai-ger Stadia. In 1936 Dan led the team in scoring and from his end position was Viator's chief means of aggression. Defensively he had few peers if any. When the season was over and St. Viator had hung up a Little Ninet een championship, Danny was honored, w ith a position on the little AllAmerican teF. ) With the close of the 1937 season at hand, we have seen turried in, one of the most brilliant perform ances ever beheld by followers of the Green Wave. Danny Blazevich, once more has dominated the Viato:r play, and coupled with Gleason, the passing halfback, St. Viator possesses a scoring combination worthy of All American position. Dan's punting this year has not been equaled by any fo e the team bas met, and along with his pass r eceiving be has been the biggest factor in every Viator victory. When the All American selections are being made tills year, it will not be a matter of great surprise if the name of Blazevich is found among those at the top.

Although it is an extremely repugnant task to reprobate the sometimes happy illusions of mice and men, a feeling of obligation to truth requires that I correct an erroneous impression given by last edition's FOO. Because of circumstances which prevented the insertion of the original FOO, Mr. Roemer look advantage of this column space to express remarks concern~ ing two highly esteemed campus organizations. His comments were either influenced by a ,profound ignorance of the organizations in question or else by an unholy desire to disparage their lofty ideals. For example, Mr. Roemer said that one of the alms of the Woof-Woof organization was to insure proper living conditions for the canines which Infest the campus. . T~ dispel any false impressions may I e.m.-: phatically state that our organiz.a : tion is not acting in the capacity of a human~ society nor are its members aspiring to dog pound. attendantship. And to render bJs comments even more malignant Mr. Roemer placed FOO next to an article by one Mr. Nolan wbJch told of the dog life about the campus. The Red Wings organization was also subjected to unfavorabl e comment from the general public d ue to the article wbJch told of the club's alms. The writer stated that Messrs. Sandquist and McElligot are scouring the campus for member s. "Be it understood", said the gentlemen in response to my query, .. that the "Red Wings" is an exclusive or~ ganization, open oniy to those who can comply with our rigid require~ ments for admission." In the near future Mr. McElligot expec ts to fly to CbJcago to complete arrangements for a clubroom which will unquestionably lead the campus to beat a path to Rooms 214 and 216. Mr. Sandquist, who is sitting .at my side, bas authorized me to quote him as saying, "By the end of the year our club hopes to embrace all the eligible members of t he cam ~ pus. The return of the birds from the south next spring will undoubtedly add · to the attractiveness ot our organization." Mr. Sandquist has just departed for lower r egions on the g ood ship "Red Wings."

victory of Viator's great football machine. His passes were thrown with that customary bullet-like speed and precision, and he constantly had the fans gasping in amazement at bJs uncanny ability to hit his target, Danny Blazevich. Even though Columbia had several men trying to stop him, Danny always managed to break away and make those "impossible catches" for which he is so famous. Two of these "Gleason-Blazevich thrillers" were good for touchdowns. f th t f ti • cu~~e p~ays :ee:os inp:rel~n:. :e~ time was the forward lateral wbJch resulted in a touchdown. Gleason tosse'd a short forward pass to Blazevich, who in turn Iateralled to Don Faber who was racing around his own left end. Don grabbed it on the run and continued his jaunt to cross the goal line unmolested. Zellnclk Stars George Cusack, one of the famous "watch charm guards" played a brilliant defensive game, and was instrumental in sto,pping Columbia's famed "powerhouse attack." Red Zelinick continued his fine work at tackle, stopping everything that came his way, and also opening hoies in the line so that our thundering backs could charge through. Morenc's passing from center was - without flaw. Bob Schumacher came through In great style. Babe Claeys played a "bang up game" at tackle. Bob Bates played one of the best games of his career at end, shining both on the offensive and defensive plays. Tony Sacco called the right plays at the right time, and gave a marvelous e~ibition of effective blocking. Bol> ' Lenahan ·was one of tbe "stars that sparkled most bril,liantly." Congratulations to the members of the team, the Athletic Director Father Harbauer,' and the Coaches, Lou Zarza, Joe Saia and Tommy Gibbons and friends of the College who worked with untiring zeal and perseverance to make this season the success that it was.
