QSignedJ F PRINCIPAL. Days of Sport Should all our playing be forgot And scores recalled no more? Should all our playing be forgot And days our friends got sore? Chorus For our old school, my dear, For our old school, We'll ne'er forget the games we played For our old school. Can all our practice be forgot And thought about no more? Can all our practice be forgot And days that made us sore? Chorus For Frank is then more strict -and firm When things are upside down. For Flaherty is strict and firm When games are lost in town. Chorus With Graf, my dear, now on the job- His team well versed in dope. That Graf, my dear, stay on the job- For this his fellows hope. Chorus Oh, can at all our fame be robbed Though neighbors get our goat? Oh, can at all our fame be robbed Though neighbors do so vote? Chorus Should brighter times the future bring And cloudless skies appear, Remember that we louder The victory song with cheer. Chorus When shadows grim advise the soul: Your lamp is going out, Be sure and fight to pass your goal Or else you're going South. -M. S. FOOTBALL PEP MEETING Brother Daniel Explains Object of the Meeting The purpose of this meeting is to remind you of the old C.1C. H. S. spirit. You are all urged to be good sportsmen and good students. All thoughtful students realize that games of any kind should be played without resorting to abusive langu- age. Nobody ever accomplished any- thing by indulging in cutting re- marks, when things do not go right. As a matter of fact a man's first duty is to mind his own business. Consider carefully before you say a hard word to anyone. A quarrelsome player is like a splinter in the thumb-a cen- ter of soreness. In all your dealings, remember that today is your oppor- tunity, tomorrow will be some other felloW's chance. I am glad that we have with us here today, Mr. Thomas Hayes, who was a Senior in this school ten years ago. Mr. Hayes Was graduated in 1913, attended the law school at Notre Dame, was graduated during the war, served as a lieutenant in the U. S. forces in France, and at pres- ent is practicing law here in this city. It gives me great pleasure to intro- duce to you Mr. Thomas Hayes, the speaker for this occasion. Students of the Central Catholic High School: I have been invited here today by my good friend, your Superior, Brother Daniel, for the purpose of making a pep talk. First of all let me say to you that the thing which will carry your school further in sportsmanship as well as in educa- tional work, is a school spirit. What do I mean by a school spirit? I mean that quality which exists in some schools, unfortunately not in all

24 THE schools, which leads men to sub- merge individuality and give their very best efforts for the school. The finest football team that ever stepped into cleated shoes will not be effective and victorious over the poorest oppo- sition, if the members of that team constantly resort to what is known as individual play. Rather would I have a team composed of mediocre players whose spirit is that which characterized the famous Three Mus- keteers: All for one, one for all, than a team of all stars whose slogan is All for myself alone. 1 In your games with other teams al- ways be clean sportsmen and deal in fair play only. I would rather see your football team defeated in every game than to have one man on any opposing team truthfully say he was the victim of dirty play from any one of your players. Now to you students at large: un- less you give this team your utmost support, no matter what efforts the boys put forth, they are doomed to failure. Each and every man should consider it his duty to turn out and encourage the team at each practice and be ready and willing to give whatever service may be asked of him. In this connection let me say that you are fortunate in having for athletic director Frank Flaherty, than whom there is no better coach in this city or the surrounding cities. I have been told that the athletic association is offering season tickets, which will admit the holder to all the football, basketball and baseball games this season for the small price of 33-4.00, which means about 20 cents for each game. Now get behind these tickets, boys, and I believe that with earnest effort you should each be able to sell at least three tickets, which ECHO will mean a successful financial sea- son for your team. In conclusion let me say to you in all your efforts work for the general good of the school and your school is bound to prosper and to lead in ath- letics as it now leads in education. Football Review The tie game with Grand Rapids on Thanksgiving day drew a veil over what has proved to be the most suc- cessful football season C. C. H. S. has enjoyed. Losing but two games out of eight, and taking the City Scholas- tic Championship is a record of which we may justly feel proud. But this splendid record might have been an- ticipated as nearly all of last year's regulars were still with us. Seven men in all were lost to the team. Cap- tain Pud Koehl, 'Hanson and Haley by graduation, Hickman and Eckart left school, while Rinehart and Suel- zer, due to injuries, were not allowed to play. The veterans around whom Coach Flaherty built up this year's team were: Clifford fcaptainj, Bushman, Donahue, Koehl, Graf, Centlivre, McKiernan and Mulligan. At the initial call for candidates thirty-two gridders reported for practice. Those who earned a place on the squad by hard work and abil- ity Were: Berghoff, Foohey, Fink, McLaughlin, Kinder, Hedekin, Kel- ker, Pequignot, Elliot, Waite, Lynch, Baltes, Belot and McGrath. SEPTEMBER 30. C. C. H. S.. 7. GARRETT HIGH, 12 We opened our football season on September 30 with a game against our old rival, Garrett High School, and went down in defeat after a fierce struggle. The game was a fast one but marred by frequent fumbles. It
