Jay Vee's Win Two--Tie One ln the first three games of the junior varsity football season, the Jay Vees'-4 have held their oppo- nents scoreless while winning two and tying one. ln their season's opener the .lay Vee's battled John Adams to a scoreless deadlock on Sept. 22 at John Adams Field. One week later, however, again at John Adams Field the Jay Vee's rolled over the East Tech Jrs. 26 to 0.

Before 6,000 fans the engals threw everything but the kitchen sink at the Namers d came home with a 23-O victory. It was the first win ever med in by a Blue and White eleven in six encounters with e Irish. Frankie Evans and jimmy Liberatore stood out as th turned in runs of more than 50 yards. Gil Verderber threw T.D. pass to Ed Stakolich for the final tally and booted ree extra points. Since the Green VVave was supposed to have been a powerhouse, aches Joe Rufus, Ab Strosnider and Joe Iofredo had quite a job sping the squad from getting over-confident. That they did a good i was evident in the Bengal showing against East Tech two weeks er. The Bengals pushed the Scarabs all over West Tech field in iding them a 35-li thumping. ferderbei' threw three touchdown passes in this game and kicked e extra points, running his point-after-touchdown record to eight a row. Jimmy Liberatore scored twice, once on an S5-yard kickoff urn, to spark the Bengals ground game. out in the four-year history of the sport here. Between 25 and 30 boys are ready for the Invitational Cross-Country Race. at Brookside park today. Freshmen Win Twice imitating the varsity, the frosh took their first win from Kirk Jll. Dan Jordon made a 20-yard end play that brought the first touch- down. l.eo Minter carried through cinching the game 12 to SJ. Trailing' 7 to O against Holy Name, the Baby Bengals caught fire and thus won their second game of the season by the score 15 to 7. The team is sparked by five rc- turning lettcrmen, Captain Bob Jeep l'app, I.eo Zeleznik, John Coyne, Jack Stupjansky, and Ray Markiewicz. All arc seniors, ex- Leo Zeleznik, a junior. Long distance men who show promise for the future are juniors Tony Fontana, Carl Velbeck, and Gene VVard, and sophomores Frank Houdek and Dick Connelly.

School Beasts 27 Resident Students Getting home, for the majority of Benedictine students, is no more difficult than stepping on a Cleveland Transit company bus or streetcar, but for 27 boarders the transportation problem is more complex. Six states and one European country are represented on the roster ot' boarders this year. Ohio has the largest represented, 135 Pennsylvania has five, Michigan three, New York two, and Illinois and New Jersey have one each. Two boys, Joe Bednar and Frank Sopko, are refugees from Czecho- slovakia. Ten students are putting in their final year as on-campus dwellers. They are seniors Rich- ard Cawley, Cyril Ciston, John Coyne, Bob Fabiny, Danny Hudak, Steve Luptak, Cyril I'ipan, Bernie Regets, Steve Sarisky, and James Rose. Kocab ls Hi-Hop Writer Appearing for the first time on news stands this month will be the teen-age magazine Hi-Hop. There will be a news column from each of the high schools in Cleveland. Benedictine's news col- umnist is Joe Kocab. Three Represent BHS Don Petrash, George Newman, and Wally Wilgus were chosen to represent Benedictine at the high schools' Community Chest meeting. Benedictineis quota will be about 55100, or ten cents per student. Visiting Benedictine Abbot Sees First Football Contest Res ardua est fthe thing is difficulty is what the Rt. Rev. Be nard Kaelin, O. S. B., abbot primate of the order of St. Benedict, wl is making his first United States tour, had to say about Americ: football during his first introduction to it at the Benedictine-East Tet game. It is apparent to Benedictine rooters that Abbot Kaelin was essentially referring to the game in its mo1'e general aspects, rather than to the Bengals' ability to score touchdowns. According to Father Mark, who interpreted the action in Latin, Abbot Kaelin was most impressed by the spectacle of organized high school sports in America. There is nothing comparable to it in Europe, Abbot Kaelin said in commenting on the bands, uniforms, cheerlead- ers, and hotdog salesmen. It is believed that Father Mark's commentary is the first time in the history of the game that a play-by-play account was given in Latin. The 72-year-old abbot primate, a teacher and educational leader for 30 years in his native Switz- erland, spoke to students and fa- culty at an assembly prior to the game. Speaking in German, French, and Italian, he expressed his pleasure in being at Benedic- tine.

OCTOBER RUSARY MUNTH Thirty-one years ago in the village of Fatima, Portugal, the Blessed Mother appeared to three shepherd children.

They must say the Rosary. October is the month of the Rosary. During each lunch period, members of the Legion of Mary recite the Ro- sary in the chapel. join them when you finish your lunch.

The cruci- fied Saviour is often represent- ed by a fish, since the Greek word ICHTHUS c ontain s the first letters of the following words: Jesus Christ, God's Son, Saviour. The letters alpha and omega are the first and last in the Greek alphabet, and when used in connection with a symbol of Jesus Christ, represent His immortality and infinity. x a 4 wha do you thins. of the BENNET ll To the Editor: In regard to your latest publication of the BENNET, may I take the time here to tell you that I have rated it, along with your previous editions, as poor. Our school paper is without doubt the dullest piece of work I have ever read. In my opinion a school paper should carry stories of pupils, by the pupils, and for the pupils, which is obiviously what a school paper is for. In your latest edition of the BENNET you have approximately ten stories which refer to or concern the faculty. These stories make interesting reading . . . but ten of them? BENE' mom By BOB LAMONT One of the freshmen, while in kinder- garten, was expected to have a bright future. He swallowed a crate of electric light bulbs. 4 A letter to the editor of a correspon- dence column read: I am only 19 and I stayed out till two the other night. My mother objects. Did I do wrong? The reply was Try to remember. I often pause and wonder at fate's peculiar waysg For nearly all our famous men were born on holidays. As Father Method said to the innocent boy caught borrowing from someone else's locker, SO LONG! 5igt ieE 3 NOTES Father Armand, former athletic director in the high school, left Cleveland Sept. 19 for St. Louis, Mo. He is now taking classes at St. Louis University in preparation for doing advanced work in Canon Law. During the scholastic year Father Armand is resid- ing with Father Ivan, pastor of Sts. Cyril and Methodius parish in East St. Louis. The most recent change in the monastery officials came in late September when Father Abbot appointed Father Daniel prior. Brother Benedict, who was the abbey cook for about four years, now has a new job He is one of the office staff in the high school and works in the record room. Although few students realize it, the work of refinishing the gym floor was done in record time this year. Most of the credit goes to Brother Martin and Brother Al. Another helper on the big job was Mike, the janitor. BENNET reporters should make it the business to pick up humorous stories aboi the students themselves. The paper shouf also carry personality stories about tl students. This, I think, would indirectl make the student more conscious of h words, dress, and conduct. Alio Charlillo The writer of this letter was invited 1 join the staff so as to become personall acquainted with the problem of high schoi journalism-Ed. Ulf lk Pl! To the Editor: For the last three years, I have receive and read every issue of the BENNET. have found it to be most interesting ar just the thing for a modern high school. I would like to congratulate the editi and his whole newspaper staff for tl splendid work they have done in preparir and editing this paper. It is a fine piece I work, and I am sure it is one of the be in Cleveland. I hope the staff can keep up the gon work for the remainder of the school yea for if they do, I am sure they will w some sort of a prize for journalism. Richard Tomaszewski Thank you.
