We are beginning this momentous series with Count Leo Tolstoi's epic, War and Peace : WAR AND PEACE Well, Prince, Genoa and Lucca are now no more than private estates of the Bonaparte family. No, I warn you that if you do not tell me we are at war, if you again allow yourself to palliate all the infamies and atrocities of this Anti-Christ tupon my word, I believe he tsl, I don't know you in the future, you are no longer my friend, no longer my faithful slave, as you say. There, how do you do, how do you do? I see I'm scaring youg sit down and talk with me. These words were uttered in July, 1805, by Anna Pavlovna Scherer, a distinguished lady of the court and confidential maid-of-honor to the Empress Mariya Fyodorovna.. It was her greetings to Prince Vassily, a man high in rank and office, who was the first to arrive at her soiree. iTo be continuedl

October, 1957 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Seven EETEEEE 20-26 IIEMEEEMI G WEEK AT EIIAMI AEE October 20 opens the homecom- ing week at Chaminade. The week will begin with a Pep Rally on Monday, October 21, and end with the football game with Marquette on Saturday, October 26. Cha- minade students are eager to par- ticipate in the celebrations, which will include the annual bonfire and pre-game party at Chaminade, the homecoming parade, and the game, of course, which will begin at 2:30 p.m., October 26, against the Marquette Explorers. The intention of the Pep Rally is to cheer the team on to victory, and all students are urged to help in doing this. We find that cheer- ing is an essential part in vic- tories: and our thanks go to the Pep Club, which has done the job so well. All students are asked to attend the bonfire and pre-game party, October 25. They are also asked to bring their dates. Needless to say, all of Cha- minade's men will be at the game of the Flyers vs, the Explorers, Preceding the game there will be, as in the past, the homecoming parade, with each class partici- pating. Each class will sponsor a fioat, which will depict a familiar scene pertaining to the game. The parade will begin at Chaminade and continue on to Clayton. Care are welcomed in the pa- rade, and if possible decorate them with Chaminade's Cardinal and White colors in the way of stream- ers, etc. All in all, this home- coming week can be the greatest in the history of Chaminade-if you, the student body, make it a success. PREPS ORGANIZE Since the spotlight this month is on the football teams, it would seem highly unappropriate to leave Brother Ralph's Preps un- mentioned. The lineup this year is Leon Hidgin, Mike Ward, and Jim Wunderlich at end: Jaques Mistro, Jerry O'Connell, and Larry Waugh, tackles: Joe Ackerman and Larry Grazovic, guards: Bill Mahoney at center: Bob Brown, quarterback: John Tegethoff and C-TEAM'S FIRST WIN The freshman team of Chami- nade was victorious over St. Mary's High School 14-7 in their first contest of the season. The first touchdown of the game was scored during the first five minutes of the game on a sensational run by quarterback Tom Weyforth, run- ning 80 'yards after receiving a punt. The extra point was run over by Jim Korack, 245 pound fullback. During the third period we at- tained our only and ,fortunately minor injury. Zurweller, our right end, had the wind knocked out of him and received a bloody nose. In the fourth period St. Mary's T.D. and extra score tied and gone, Weyforth play which was Cyril Boschert's scored their only point. With the the time nearly tallied again on a not in Coach Bro. book and Big Jim Korack ended the game with tlqe extra point. And so the freshman team of Chaminade got off to a fine start, hoping to do as well as last year's team and not lose a game. Bill Wefel, halfbacks: and Rich Berkmeyer, fullback. Because ot' the new ruling, the Preps will be meeting junior high school and freshman teams. But we know that the sensational Preps are more than equal to such oppinents. Good luck, Preps, as you start your season with an encounter against Cathedral this Saturday: we know you don't need it. C-TEAM vs. McBRIDE On October 4, the high-spirited freshman team of Chaminade de- feated McBride 7-6. The Flyers entered the game well off, having won over St. Mary's 14-7. There was no scoring in the first period, both teams fumbling freely. Dur- ing the second period Big Jim Korack, the freshmen's huge full- back, made two straight first downs. John Vatterott then scored Chaminade's touchdown on an end run. Tom Weyforth, the Flyers' quarterback, ran a quarterback sneak for the point after touch- down. This was the deciding fac- tor in Chaminade's victory. Dur- ing the third period, McBride fought its way down the field to score a touchdown, but their con- version attempt was unsuccessful. During the fourth period, as in the other three periods, there were numerous fumbles on both sides. but McBride couldn't take advan- tage of them and was penalized often for offside and backfleld in mation. The three first downs in the game scored by Jim Korack was another important factor in our victory. The Flyers' line held well through the game. This game marks the eighth straight win for the freshmen of the last two years.
