Football Cathedral 0-Edgerton 4 The Cathedral warriors after weeks of strenuous practice opened the football season against the heavier team of Edgerton. Our opponents scored twice on blocked kicks while we threatened their goal but once. Cathedral 0-St. Catherine's 38 After a week of practice the squad was led to another defeat on a muddy field at the hands of the Racine gridders. Cathedral 0-Alumni 25 For the First time in years the alumni defeated the varsity. The Grads, led by Cook, Hajdu, and Ryan, proved too strong for our lightweights. Cathedral 0-M ukwonago 2 Our old jinks MUD followed us to Mukwonago Where we again felt the sting of a scoreless defeat. The unusual score showed that the condi- tion of the turf was a drawback to both contestants. I 9 3 2 E A G L E Page Sixty-seveli

BALL x Sport Directors The upkeep of a team, its equipment, and playing schedules-all are a vital part of athletics. For the past few years J-oe Blodgett has proved himself more than capable in the handling of the business end of the sports. His keen foresight combined with a ready sense off humor make him a man worthy of respect. A liner coach and Sportsman than our Coach McEvoy could not be found anywhere. His football team of this year had as much grit in its light ranks as could be found in the heavy Stonewall lines of Knute Rockne, and Mac could well be called the little Knute Rockne of St. John's. The choice for assistant football coach and head basketball coach proved to be a most opportune one. Joe Kingis championship basketball team gives proof of his ability as a coach and the respect shown him by the students is evidence of his friendly spirit. The student managers, Ralph Deuster of the football team, and Oscar Ball of the basketball, are to be commended for their Fine Work in caring for the equipment of the players and in supervising the pep meetings.

All our boys showed their mettle, fighting with all their might for the honor of the school, yet the cruel specter of defeat again crushed them to the tune of 12 to 0. V Cathedral 7-St. Thomas's 19 ' An innovation for our grid warriors-a night game at Rockford with St. Thomas's-proved fatal to us in a 19 to 6 reverse. Cathedral 6-Messmer 2 For the first time in the '31 gridiron campaign, hostilities were carried on successfully, this time against Messmer. The game drew one of the largest crowds to date. A tight defensive battle which lasted until late in the last quarter looked like another defeat, when Verona and Beland started a march that stopped behind the goal posts, resulting in a Cathedral win. Cathedral 7-Pio Nono 19 , Our first game in the new year started well for the Eagle gridders. After several attempts, Verona tossed a pass to Beland, who scored on the play. Then Pio Nono settled down to a gruelling offensive attack and, aided by our lack of substitutes, gained the victory. l I Cathedral 0-Edgewood 13 Another night game played at Edgewood Academy, Madison, ended our grid career for the year. A hopeless swamp of quagmirelcombined with a heavier team took our valiant, fighting squad into camp. Page Sixty-eight I 9 3 2 E A G L E E l
