February, 1945 T H E L I O N PAGE THREE Basketball Dial-yi VARSITY JAN. 26-0'DEA 32, BELLS 24 The score' was 24 all in the fourth quarter of play but the Irish 'put on a final drive with four minutes to go, running up 8 tallies before the closing whistle sounded. JAN. 27-EATONVILLE 21, BELLS 27 Lions avenge a one-sided set- back from the Cruisers. After the first quarter the Bellarmine quin- tet had no trouble getting the jump on the Cruiser five. Davie, Eatonville center, was high point man with 11, and Vlahovich scored 8 for the Bells. JAN. 30-SEATTLE PREP 48, BELLS 20 Prep couldn't miss on their own maples. The Lions kept the pace evenlyiin the first half, but the sharpshooting Panthers came out victorious. Sollers, Prep forward, led the scoring with twelve points. Vlahovich was high for the Bells with 10. FEB. 2-LINCOLN 41, BELLS 37 The Lions really aroused the old fighting spirit in this contest. The fast moving Abes were kept on the jump every minute of play. This new combination of Payne, Kropf, Vlahovich, Trine, and Harrington shows promise of future thrilling games. Kropf and Vlahovich shared high point position with 10 counters each. FEB. 6-BUCKLEY 35, BELLS 25 Although off to a slow start, the Lions edged their way up the scor- ing ladder, but they were unable to overcome the Mountaineers lead before the final whistle blew. 1 Harrington, Bell guard, led his team with eight points. FEB. 10-LINCOLN 29, BELLS 28 The score shows the closeness of 1 this thrilling game. The Bells fought fiercely in the second half and cut down the Abes 11 point, lead to 1 counter. Only the sound of the final whistle stopped the Lions surge toward victory. Trine, Lion. guard, dropped in 16 points to take top scoring honors. RESERVES ' A team is only as good as its reserves. This motto has often been proven true. It shows the significance of the reserve five, for upon these hopeful players lies the responsibility of being prepared to take the place of an exhausted or injured varsity man.

SOPHS Laurels are tossed to those scrap- ping Bellarmine yearlings known as' the Sophomores. Although out- rnanned in quite a few instances I l they were never outfought as the resulting scores will indicate. The Sophomores starting five consists of a group of dazzling ball hand- lers in Jim Hermsen and Bill O'- Leary at guards, a pair of scrappy forwards in Tom O'Leary and John Kelly, and a bruising center in Antone Mladineo. Credit is also due to the Soph subs who turn out night after night and are at the disposal of their coach Mr. Hanl- ger, S. J. Subs are: Mitch Mullan, Jim Milloy, Bill Galbraith, Bob Ludeman, Norm Smith, Pa-ul George and Pat O'Leary.

X CUB CAGERS WIN AND LOSE Hitting an early lead the clever ball handling frosh defeated Se- attle Prep's aggregation, 20 to 16. Using a refined fast swisher shot Daniszewski was high point man again with 10. Clearing the bench several times during the Visitation fray which the Cubs Won 34 to 18 seemed to give Coach Fr.

PAGE TWO r r' I I' r I I' ulunh-I -a 3 - I -3011-J ' On the night of February 2 the Junior Prom proved to be an un- usual success, thanks to the very capable prom committee and a cooperative Junior class. A good time was had by all: well, anyway we know Dick Bannon did! Some typical remarks overheard by this snooper at that Ugala' occasion were such as Oh, everythings go- ing wrongj' by the worry-bug, Stan Fairhurst. Where's my partner? from Gene Mack. What's otu' homework? by Oliver Glassy. Feel de moosicl' from Hepcat Greco. Who closed the balcony? by Frankie Loonam, and Who's got a smoke? from just about anyone. After discovering that the punch was free Pete Marinkovich was curiously thirsty the rest of the evening . . . Question of the week: On what day does Oswald attend school? Student of the week: Dutch Schultz, the man who beats anything and everything. Song of the week: Don't fence me in from the jug class to Father Weissenberg . . . Jim Flannery is a real comer on the basketball squad. Is he a high scorer? Well, as Jim remarks after every game, I didn't want to do much scoring tonight-saving myself, you know. Ehlers claims Tom Payne's afraid of him . . . Crowley is a bundle of answers in Latin class . . . Paid advertisement: Anyone desirous of gaining possession of one rugged Model A see Bob Wood THE LI,ON 015132 Spirit nf lent Lent can be a source of great merit if spent in the proper spirit. Very often a student might wonder what he can do in observing Lent properly. The older people can fast or fill mite boxes such a student might say, but what .can I, a student do? No one expects you to wear a hair shirt for 40 days. You are wrong if you think only large sacrifices bring merit. In observing Lent, let us remember that the dozen little sacrifices done during the day are often as meritorious as the larger ones-if done in the proper spirit. Let us make it a point to visit the chapel daily for Lent. Let us back the Alaska Mission Drive IOOW, and especially attend Mass daily in our Chapel. But above all, we must remember that what we do is not half so important as how and why we do it. lf, for instance, we go to Mass daily just to be known as pious, we gain no or little merit. Only if-we do penance in a spirit of mortification and love of God, do we make our own Lent valuable. This right spirit means everything in making a profitable Lent. Without it, we can get nowhere. But if we have it, we can know Christ is pleased with our efforts. I This alone makes it well-worth our while to spend Lent as it was meant to be and if we do, at its' end each can call it my best Lent yet. -hen give it to you! when asked I - what he was doing to get gas for I F01't1tUde his what-ever-you-want-to-call- it Dick Bannon replied, You mean you're supposed to put gas in it? Warning! Beware of high- pressured salesman Bert ,Good- man. It's rumored he can sell an Eskimo an ice-box. Bichsel helps run 'down the black market by buying up all the stock . . . Sta- dium's basketball team is so tall that at the last game some joker asked when Trine was going to get off his knees. Catholic Press Month Over 25 years ago, the saintly Pope Pius X, speaking on the value of the Catholic press, said: ln vain will you build churches, preach missions, found schools: all your good works. all your efforts will be destroyed, if you can not at the same time wield the defensive and offensive weapons of a press that is Catholic, loyal, and sincere. Today with the Catholic Church assaulted on all sides by Fascism, Nazism, and Communism these words hold true more than ever before. Our Catholic press has become a great necessity to the Catholic way of life. It is the nerve center of Catholic action. We have often heard the navy spoken of as Americas iirst line of defense. We may Very aptly think of the Catholic press as the Church's Iirst line of defense. Because it is so vital and because we must have the Catho- lic viewpoints on world affairs at all times this strong arm of the Church needs and deserves our year rourid support. February is Catholic Press Month. This is the time when we are especially urged to read essentially Catholic literature. Throughout the year, we come in contact with all kinds of reading material, some of it contrary to Christian and moral ideals. So that we may not be fooled by these misleading documents, it is a good idea to equip ourselves with the Amid an undying wind and an ever tossing sea, a tiny vessel struggled, Chinabound. On board, two strangers met. a prosperous oil man, the eyes of One was made rich by sucking the very life blood of the impoverished Orientals. His features were coarse with thick, bushy ,eyebrows and hair, heavy lips, and a large nose. His character was unmis- takably egotistical, as though it were written in large, red letters upon his back. The other, a direct contrast, was a yolmg Catholic missionary. The first impression that occurred to onlookers was the glowing kind- ness of his eyes and the ever pres- ent smile on his lips. On closer scrutiny, a shrewd observer might discern wonderment mingled with the kindness in hisreyes and more than a touch of what we may term holy stubbornness. This vir- tue was widely advertised by his square, determined chin. The two men elbowed their way toward each other and immedi- ately a pleasant conversation en- sued. Among their subjects was the backwardness of the Chinese. This gave way to the means of reform and that in turn to mis- sionaries. This reminded the oil man of an incident he had once read about. It seemed as though a certain missionary, Fr. Murphy truth, as presented by Catholic writing. ' by name, had three fingers Sev-I February, 1945 ered from his right hand by Mon- golian bandits, who had held him for ransom. The oil man care- lessly tossed in the curt remark, I guess he'll never return to China. He'll probably stay in the states and take life easy at some secluded monastery. 'I'he young missionary started to remonstrate, but thought twice be- fore he would utter a. sound. His words were rudely interrupted by the sharp clanging of the dinner bell. In token of friendship, the two men clasped hands. The oil man squeezed heartily, but upon feel- ing something give way beneath the extreme pressure, he quickly glanced down. There, in his clasped hand, he viewed a thumb and foreflnger accompanied by three ugly stubs. He had discov- ered his mistake too late. , Fr. Murphy smiled broadly, took the oil man's arm, and together they strolled down the deck to their evening meal. Rifle Team Competes The ROTC rifle team under the coaching of Sgt. Douglas has con- tinued their success of last year. They have completed the Wm. Randolph Hearst Match, one of the most important matches of the whole season. Final scores have not yet been announced but we hope for the best. Last year Bellarmine took second place in the entire 9th service command. The plaque which was awarded to the team now hangs in the Trophy Case. The Lion Published monthly during the school year by the students of Bellnrmine High School, Tacoma, Wash.

Meckes, S. J., and Fr. White, S. J., spent Wednesday, the twen- ty-first of February, at the state capitol in Olympia learning many new facts about the government of the state of Washington. After being introduced to the legisla- ture by Representative A. B. Com- fort, the boys took their seats and watched the legislature in action. All the boys had an enjoyable time and hope to make the visit again. The preceding Monday, Mr. Leo McGavick, a prominent Tacoma attorney, spoke to the students on fundamentals of government. This speech aided the students in understanding what they saw and heard at the capitol in Olympia. Junior Prom Out- Standing Success The Junior Prom, one of the main events of the year, honor- ing the graduates and the alumni of Bellarmine, was a remarkable success. , The Elk's ballroom which was pleasingly decorated was set off by an extensive plaque on which the names of the departing seniors of '45 were written. The delight- ful music of Hal Gullett and his orchestra was enjoyed by all. Among the guests at the Prom were Rev. Father Schultheis, S. J., Fr. H. Luger, S. J., who acted as faculty adviser, Mr. and Mrs, C. J. Fairhurst, Mr. and Mrs. H. Gal- braith, and Mr. and Mrs. Dyck- man.
