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!

JESUIT GENERAL DIES IN ROME On Sunday, December 13, there came from the Eternal City of Rome, the sad news of the death of Father General of the Society of Jesus. The Very Rev. Father Vladimir Ledochowski, who had served the order faithfully for twenty-five years, had been called by death. He assumed his burdensome re- sponsibilities in the midst of the first World War, and had lived to see the world engaged in another more terrible conflict. In his' memory a solemn Re- quiem Mass was sung at St. Leo's Church. The rector, Father H. Schultheis, S. J., preached briefly on the character of the deceased. The faculty was joined by the en- tire student body in paying their final respects to this truly great man. Senior Leaves for Jesuit Orderg Two Juniors Join the 'Service TED MARCHESINI Philomathea to Honor Mothers of Alumni Honoring the mothers 'of Bel- larmine alumni who are now in the armed forces, Mothers' Club is in their honor monthly meeting February 9. Details for the afternoon pro- gram are under the direction of Lt. Col. Allan Johnson and Staff Sgt. Villaescusa, who promise a worth-while entertainment. g The club through its president, Mrs. A. B. Comfort, and the fac- ulty, through the Rector, Fr. H. Schultheis, S. J., extend an ln- vitation to all friends of the school and particularly to the mothers of alumni who are now in the serv- ice of their country. The incon- plete listings released from the of- fice of the principal, show that there are 182 members of the alumni in the forces. The service flag, which is dis- played in the office contains 182 blue stars and 2 gold stars. The gold stars are in memory of Martin Dooley and Edward Ry- tContinued on page Fourj the Philomathea to hold a party at the regular at the school on The first student from Bellar- mine to answer the call of a re- ligious vocation this year, was Ted Marchesini, a Senior, who re- cently departed for the Novltiate of the Jesuit Order. This religious house of studies is maintained at Sheridan, Oregon, as a place where young inen may study for the priest-hood. Shortly before his departure, Ted received a special promotion to the rank of Second Lieutenant in the ROTC, of which he was a member. This award was given in recognition of his work by the order of Lt. Col. Allan Johnson. He was also a sodalist, member of the honor roll and staff reporter to the Lion. Answering the call of a separ- ate field of endeavor, two other popular Bells left in the persons of Jim Cline and John Kelly. Taking advantage of the limited enlistment periods, Jim Cline has enlisted in the Coast Guard, while John Kelly is training for the Navy. Both while at Bellarmine were active in school affairs. Cline was advertising manager of the Lion for the school term of '40 and '41 and was a member of the ROTC. Leaving behind the laurels gained in two years of Reserve Football, Kelly was also a par- ticipant in many other extra- curricular functions. JUST AHEAD January 22-Basketball, Bell-Lin- coln, here.

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.

In the preliminary' game Dean and Farrell scored 11 and 10 points respectively to lead the Bellarmine Reserves to a 31 to 11 victory over the Auburn Subs. Lions 37, Clover Park 41 In a game played on the Clover Park floor the Lions dropped a close 41-37 verdict to the War- riors. Martineau and Hermsen were again high point men, each scoring 12 points for the Lions. Reynolds of Clover Park lead his team with 12 points. BELL BASKIJTEERS LOSE CITY GAME The Lions invaded the Stadium gym January 16 and were defeat- ed by the score of 34-24.'Weakened by the absence of Jack Hermsen the Bells missed their usual scor- ing punch. chuck Fam led the winners with 11 points and La- Verne Martineau scored 10 for the losers.
