HENRIOT, GLAS SY WIN TOURNAMENT This year, for the first time in the school's history, the Bellar- mine Debate Club captured the annual Seattle College Debate Tournament.

Jim Henriot and Oliver'Glassy, taking both sides, defeated three opposing Seattle teams-O'Dea, Seattle -Prep and Holy Angels- in the preliminaries, thus qualify- ing for the finals in which they won over a negative team of Se- attle Prep.

Sodality Social Held In School Gym The senior sodality social, held in the school gym, was one of the outstanding events of the school year. The event is sponsored an- nually by the senior sodality under the direction of Fr. Lynch, S. J., who is the senior sodality modera- tor and student adviser. Frl Lynch announced that the gathering entertained the sodali- ties from Aquinas, St. Leo's and Visitation Villa. All Sodalists in the city were invited.

' You have heard older people almost endlessly say, C-et yourself an educa- tionf' Co through school and learn! The fact that you just don't go far without an education is easy enough for an older person to see, but hard for you who are still in school. This is not from a gray-haired veteran, brother. It's from a Senior just getting out of the mill. Sixteen of us left just a few days ago, and all bu-t a very few have the inten- tion of going on to higher education. We can see the facts, all too clearly-you just can't go far without an education. Make what little time you have left count for some- thing worth while. Have yourself a good .time at the games and dances, but always remember that the main reason you are at Bellarmine is to learn and to begin to find your place in a tough hard rugged world that has absolutely no respect for the man who can't handle the job. .

Stu-l dent body gave creditable supporti by laudable attendance. Burrows, Stadium forward, contributed 10g toward Tigers' cause. I Jan. 9-Federal Way 33, Bells 36. i A nip and tuck battle all the way. Vlahovich dropped in three count- ers in overtime period to win the game. Thornberg and Bylin, of Federal Way, made 13 and 12 re- spectively. But their sharpshoot- ing was offset by Lions' smooth, teamwork. Record to date-four wins against four losses. Jan. 12-O'Dea 47, Bells 20. Every team has its off night. This happened to be it. No excuse. Boyle, Meher and Ulloa, of the Irish, accounted for 38 of their team's 47 points. Jan. 13-Eatonville 47, Bells 29. Lions were unable to shake off . cruised to easy victory with Davie, their center, making 15 points. Jan. 16fLincoln 42, Bells 24. Close checking and accurate long shooting of Abes enables them to capture verdict. The Lincoln guard combination, McGuire and Mellor, scored 11 points apiece. Jan. 19-Fife 50, Bells 28. The score is no example of the game's intensity. Although held at a great disadvantage in the first half, the Lions came back to match the Trojans almost point for point. Dan Jacques, Fife cen- ter, led all the scoring with 20 counters. Kropf and Trine scored 10 and 9 respectively. Jan. 23-Stadium 57, Bells 27. It's that same old story, lack of height and experience, that proved to be the Lions' greatest foe. The outmanned team, however, never 'stopped trying. Burrows and Lewis I outpaced all competition with 17 and 15 tallies. Harrington, Bell guard, contributed 8 points to lead his team. , Bell Cubs Good In Early Games The small but powerful Cub five were off to a good start this bas- ketball season with a win over Holy Rosary. The score was Holy :Rosary 13, Cubs 46. In their second start the Cubs were defeated by a strong, rangy St. Leo's quintet by the score of 30-11.

Those on the Cub team are: Daniszewski, Comfort, Simpson, Nugent, Rooney, C. Kelly, Fenlon, Schreiner, Shugrue, Hawley, Lem- on, McPhail, Carlson, Mitchell, L. Huntsman, White. Fr. C. Meckes, S.
