JANUARY, 1943 T H E L l 0 N PAGE THREE Lions Show Well in Pre-Season Tilts ACTION SHUTS F ROM STADIUM GAME Having won the majority of their pre-season tilts, the' Bellarmine basketballers of 42-43 have dis- tinguished themselves as strong contenders for the City Crown, now held by Lincoln. The first team includes Cliff Schiesz, Larry Rask, Al Fairhurst, Verne Morris, Verne Martineau, Ray Sullivan, Dean Pitsch, Chuck Galbraith, Jack Hermsen, Ted Garitone, Jim O'Farrell and Jim Farrell. Lions 31, Auburn 29 In a nip and tuck affair the Lions edged out a stubborn Auburn team, on the Bellarmine floor, by a 31-29 margin. Hermsen scored 8 points and Martineau 7 to share scoring honors for the Lions. Lar- ling contributed 12 points for the losers. In the preliminary the Bellar- mine Reserves thoroughly trounced an Auburn team by the score of 33 to 15. Lions 42, Buckley 19 The Lions had little trouble in downing a Buckley team on the Bellarmine floor, in a game which saw the whole Bellarmine squad in action. Martineau scoring 17 points and Hermsen 11 were again high point men for Bellarmine, while Ross scored 6 points for the Buckley squad. The Buckley Reserves won a 30 to 13 victory over Bellarmine Reserves in the preliminary game. Lions 36, Fife 35 With a last minute field goal Bellarmine nosed out a fighting Fife squad by a one point margin. The Lions led at halftime 20-18 but Fife pulled ahead in the last quarter and was leading with less than a minute to go when Dean Pitsch of Bellarmine swished one through the hoop which proved to be the winning basket. The Ballarmine Reserves took a 30-24 decision from the Fife extras in the opening game of the even- ing. Lions 57, Sumner 65 In what proved to be the most exciting game thus far, the Lions dropped a. close one to Stunner, 57-65. The game was close from start to finish with the lead chang- ing hands frequently. However a rally on the part of Sumner, in the closing minutes, enabled them to pull ahead of the Lions and to win the high scoring game. Mar- tineau scored 16 points, Hermsen ' 15, Rask 13 and Schiesz ll for the Lions, while Mylnar of Sumner lled the individual scoring with 21 points. There was no preliminary game. Lions 41, Alumni 35 Former Bell maplemen turned on the heat and made the varsity sweat plenty for a 41 to 35 victory in the annual tussle between these traditional rivals. ' The contest brought back to ,Bellarmine such players as Jerry Healey, Bob Weaver, Pat Mailey, John Reed, Jim Bichsel and Vic Martineau, all of whom are form- er varsity lettermen. In a preliminary game, a loftier Stadium Soph team defeated the Bellarmine yearlings 43 to 11. Lions 34. Auburn 40 An Auburn team, out to revenge a previous 31-29 setback, managed to score three baskets in an over- time period to defeat the Lions 40 to 34, after Jack Hermsen had sunk a rebound shot to tie the score with but two seconds re- maining in the regular period. l w l l l 1 1 l w i 1 w Y 1 1 V fContinued Fourth Columnl , A general struggle with Schiesz 10, V l Sullivan 6 and Pitsch 5 taking part.

PAGE TW0 T H E L I 0 N JANUARY, 1943 I O s , Something to Consider B F I I fl .. You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you. . 'i I The priesthood is not only a sacred and sublime office instituted SUMPIN NU HAZ BIN ADDUD l .- and pass the Ammunjti0n .. by Christ, but it is also a ministry of unselfish service to mankind. l The value of this service has long been recognized by our govern- ment which provides Catholic Chaplains for our boys in the Army and Navy. ' The important part they play in keeping up the morale and spiritual life of om' armed forces is unquestioned. Just as there is an urgent need for doctors to care for our armed forces, there is a need for spiritual doctors. Were it not for these physicians of the soul the spiritual life of the army and the world in general would be destroyed by the cancerous growth of anti-Christian principles. The eyes of the world have turned from the horrible example of anti-Christian Germany to the Catholic Church. Serene amidst the chaos she stands: her priests carrying high the Cross of Christ for the consolation of suffering humanity. What worldly honor is comparable with the happiness a priest must experience when he sees the gratitude in the eyes of a dying soldier who has received the last sacraments? The Catholic young man would do well to consider the serious need there is for more priests to continue the work with the Catholics at war, or at the home front and to help preserve a permanent peace after the war. The young man of today has a choice of many careers. He can enter college or receive training in the Army or the Navy. But to be chosen to lead an army of souls into the Kingdom of I-Ieaven, is there a career greater than this? -BOB HINES. THE LION REVIEWS 1942 January. 1942-Happy New Year!

SCI-IIESZ HIGH POINT MAN The Bellarmine Lions were on the smaller end of a 36-28 score in a game played on the Lincoln floor last Saturday evening. After a 4 to 4 tie in the first quarter, the Lincoln forces pulled ahead to a 19 to 12 lead at the halftime. Early in the third quarter the Railsplitters did the most damage by increasing their lead to 31 to 14 before the Lions connected with the hoop. Having found their shooting eye at last, the Bells be- gan to lessen the Lincoln lead. Led by Cliff Schiesz in this last quar- ter rally, Bellarmine cut the lead to 36-28 before the gun stopped the comeback. Cliff Schiesz and Jack Hermsen made 11 and 10 points respectively to lead the Lion attack, while Gene Sivertson, tall Lincoln center collected 18 points for the Abe forces.

In a few months many young men who are in their last semester of high school, will be eligible for the armed forces. For you men who have several months to help prepare for the coming day, you may ask how can I better myself and my coun- try? Let's do a little reviewing 'and make a synopsis. Have you taken any Math. or lscience? You say you havent had too much. All the branches of the Military Service use basic as well as all the more important scientific courses and every high school boy has an equal opportunity to learn their rudiments. Did you know that the govern- ment needs interpreters for use with our over-seas staffs and forces? This subject affords an excellent opportunity in civilian life to make a livelihood, as well as to aid all the lands which will need our guidance when peace is restored. If you have taken aeronautics and ROTC you are excellent ma- terial for enjoying a superiority in chances for advancement. Physical fitness is a requisite. When a person is physically fit lbs is in a good mental condition. 3 Religion is most necessary be- icause it brings the good in a man to its peak of efficiency, and he endeavors to emulate himself and ,others If you have had this training in 1Religion, Science and ROTC, you may be s1n'e you will be a success. CUB GRIDSTERS RECEIVE LETTERS Cub football letters, announced Fr. J. Logan, were awarded to the following husky freshmen: Thad McArthur, Tommy Flood, Elvin Stowell, Allan Rivers, Mike Thornton, B111 Kroff, Bob O'Larey, Bob Pavolka, Dick Messo, Joe Mil- ler, George Christnacht and Bob May.
