Page Six CARDINAL AND WHITE November, 1957 CC. -- High Spirit -- Poor Season Summar of Football Sea on Chaminade men had hopes this year of a powerful and victorious team on the campus. The season itself was not successful, but the team showed signs of promise. Next year the lack of experi- ence that held back the Flyers will be goneg in its place will be the necessary knowledge. This year's season encompassed a rather poor record of one victory to five losses. Game by game, the results are as follows: Country Day-In the opening contest of the year, Chaminade's Flyers were overcome by Codasco, 32-7. Chaminade scored early on Pete Knese's long run. However, Country Day, with startling accur- acy in passes, threw their way to an 18-point lead in the first half. In the second half, the game was still theirs, as they scored another 14 points. Valle-On the 21st of September, in a game full of fumbles, Valle took Chaminade 26-6. Siebert, scoring three TD's, and Beckerman with one, gave Valle its 'bulge in score. Pete Knese, with Chaminade's only score, ran 75 yards for the touchdown. Cathedral-The Flyers played inspired ball, but were stopped by the opposition, Sadly, Chaminade rooters watched Boden score two TD's and Cole and Eshman score one each. Chaminade's only score was a 60 yard punt return by Charlie Hartung. When time ran out the score was Cathedral 26, Chaminade 6. DeAndreis-Chaminade came alive, finally, to gain a hard-fought victory over D.A.'s Wildcats, 19-14. Pete Knese sparked the Flyers, as he raced 50 yards for one TD, and crossed on a 2 yard plunge. Don Carmody accounted for the other score, carrying the ball 80 yards for the marker. The Wildcats took over the second half as they took advantage of some slODDy Chaminade defense. However, the Flyers fought hard to gain the win. John Burroughs-Burroughs had a field day at Chaminade's ex- pense. Mars, scoring numerous TD's, led all of J.B.'s scoring. Pete Knese scored on a brilliant return of a kickoff, and Paul Knese scored the other TD for Chaminade. Final score was 47-13. The newness of the team, the injuries received in the Codasco game, and Chaminade's ability to fall apart in the second half all had a hand in making a losing team out of what was once a sure bet to be an undefeated team. Defeat by Burroughs On October 13, day of infamy. John Burroughs ran all over a badly operating Chaminade team, 47-13. Pete Knese accounted for both Flyer scores, while J.B. di- vided honors among Mars 129, Calkins, Pitzman, Bascom, Pollack, and Portnoy. In the first period, 13 points of the big bulge were accounted for by J.B. Chaminade, on the other hand, was unable to score on the Burroughs team. Second half saw no scoring, as Chaminade got hold of themselves and held back the opponents. Half-time score, 13-0. Chaminade finally scored in the second half, scoring 13 points as compared to J.B.'s 21 in the third and 13 in the fourth. The team tried its best, but luck was with the more powerful John Burroughs team and at the end owned a 47-13 victory. Lost to Coyle On October 20, the Coyle Cougars turned back a battling Chaminade team by a score of 26-8. Jerry Steulber, who scored all of Coyle's touchdowns, broke loose four times. Ed Wagner, proving that the toe is as mighty as the shitty hip, added two extra points. For Cha- minade, Pat Kennedy and John Hunter gave the team its eight points. Chaminade was out to ruin the Cougars' Homecoming, but were disappointed in their fight, as Steuber gave Coyle an early seven point lead. However, Pat Kennedy showed the team's battlin' spirit as he hit Steuber in the end zone for a safety. The sounding of the half gun ended temporarily the Flyers' fight, with them behind, 7-2. In the second half, Steuber had a field day as he disregarded the Flyers efforts and scampered to three T.D.'s. Johnny Hunter, even before Steuber's feat, had ended scoring for Chaminade as he put them momentarily into the lead. But play ended, Coyle 26-8.

November, 1957 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Five The New Chemistry Lab Along with all the other improvements of Chaminade this summer, the chemistry lab, which was formerly next to the gym, has been moved into the remodeled third floor of the main build- ing. The new lab offers all new facilities to the chemistry student. Nine new work tables are arranged in such a way as to enable the student to watch Brother Yasho while he demonstrates the experiments at his table. The lab also has such new features as sliding blackboards, which enable the teacher to continue lecturing and illus- trating without having to stop and erase the boards. New shelves, which are not pictured above, will line the sides of the lab. These shelves will house the various chemicals which will be Why, a Good Retreat? Retreat-Act of retiring or with- drawing from what is difficult, dangerous, or disagreeable. -Web ster, That is exactly what we will be doing during our coming three- day retreat here at Chaminade. We will be withdrawing, for a short space, from the dangers and difficulties of the world to attain a closer communion with God. used during the course of the year, Truly the chemistry lab is one of the main improvements of Chaminade this year. Father Langlanais Kept Busy Father Willis Langlinais, our school chaplain, has been quite busy keeping up with the retreats of various schools in the vicinity, From October 9th to the 11th, Father was the retreatmaster for 350 boys at Cathedral in Belleville. Only 3 days later on October 14th, he began the annual retreat for 250 Juniors and Seniors at Rosati-Kain High School, which lasted for two and one-half days. Following that assign- ment he was retreatmaster for 350 Freshmen and Sophomores of the Major Learning Program of the St. Louis Archdiocesan School System. On October 19th, Father gave a talk and Benediction to end a day of recollection for 200 seventh and eighth grade girls, who were members Many of us may have become a little lax in our spiritual dutiesg it's easy for a high-school student to neglect God. But it's also very dangerous. Christ doesn't go for lukewarm Catholics. of Vocation Clubs around St. Louis. And again in the near future Father Langlinais will begin the annual retreat to the Juniors and Seniors at St. Joseph's Academy. NEW HONOR ROLL SYSTEM The retreat is a wonderful op- portunity to shake off this luke- warmness, this indifference to God which is so easy to acquire, to try, for three short days, to shut out distractions so that we can hear Him more clearlyg to re- attain some of the fervor of Con- firmation, the stainlessness of Bap- tism. It is a spiritual shot in the arm, a transfusion of grace into our souls. Those who take full ad- vantage of it will find themselves well-rewarded: those who do not are wasting a valuable opportunity. St. Teresa of Avila was well-known for her love of retirement, feeling that this quiet Communion with God was the perfect chance to know Him better and learn how to imitate Him. But if these ideals we acquire in the course of our retreat are forgotten as soon as it is over, the purpose of the re- treat is wastedg wasted eternally. A welcome change in the grad- ing system at Chaminade has been made this year. A new honor roll system, considered to be fairer to the students than the former one, was inaugurated with the tally of the grades for the first term. The requirements, under the new system, to be able to make the hon- or roll are: the average of the stu- dent's grades must not be below eighty-five, his conduct mark must Conqrais, For the third consecutive year, Senior B has been successful in winning the Spirit Trophy for the football season. This year, however, the Seniors received stiff competition from the students of Sophomore A, who lost the trophy only by a slim margin. The lowest representation per- centage of the Seniors at a game not be below ninety, and he cannot have any grade below eighty. The requirements for high honors are: the average of the student's grades must not be below ninety percent, his conduct mark must not be below ninety, and he cannot have any grade below eighty-five. This should be an added incen- tive for the students to make honor and high honors, since the system gives a clearer, more hon- est picture of the student's pro- gress. Senior B was 8001, It was with this game that the Sophomores won their only victory over the Seniors, hav- ing a total of 82172, present. It is rumored that it was the encouragement of Bro. Frank Klapp, homeroom teacher, that gave the Seniors the drive to win. So, congrats, Bro. Frank and Sen- ior B on your victory,

November, 1957 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Seven Homecoming A Moral Victory As the final gun sounded the end of our Home- coming game, the score read 14-12 in favor of Marquette. Although the team had lost the Home- coming game, both the playsr and the spectators felt a moral victory, knowing that this had been the hardest fought game of the seasonn. Marquette scored their touchdowns early in the first quarter as they tallied first on a long pass followed by a short plunge. They managed to get the P.A.T. to make it 7-0. Just a few min- utes later an attempted quick kick on third down blocked and Marquette had the ball deep in The second half was strictly defensive play as neither team could get a substantial drive started. Goose Sommers supplied the crowd with a sen- sational 60-yard run to Marquette's 7-yard line but it was called back because of a clipping penalty. In the fourth quarter, the Flyers started a drive from our 16-yard linne to their 8-yard line. An off-sides penalty was a thorn in our side as it took the heart out of our rally. And so the Home- coming battle ended with the opposition victorious 14-12, but with a new revitalized in the hearts of all the students. C-TEAM REMAINS TOPS of the game was uneventful, but as usual, Jim Korak ran most of the yardage. was our own territory. Shortly afterwards they pushed the ball across for a touchdown and they also added the extra point to end the first querter, with the score 14-0. Chaminade scored both their touchdowns in the second quarter. The first touchdown came at the early stages of the second quarter on a short 3-yard plunge. The second one came midway through the quarter on another line plunge. Both kicks after the touchdowns went astray and the first half ended 14-12. Cathedral, Coyle and Assumption Games Played By Chaminade Freshmen The Frosh Team of '57 had a creditable 4-2 recordg only a second best to last year's 6-0 record. Con- grats, Frosh, and Bros. Cyril and Ray. Chaminade freshman team, in their last game, defeated the Saint Louis Priory School team 13-6. The first touchdown was scored by big Jim Korak, and the extra point The second loss of the season was posted at Cathedral, as Cham- inade was pointless against their three touchdowns. The first was scored when Chaminade fumbled the kickoff on the 12 yd. line. A pass and the touchdown was good, and the point, too. In the second quarter, Cathe- dral scored again on a pass. Fum- bles were plentiful during the first half. The third quarter was un- eventful, In the fourth period, Cathedral scored their 3rd touchdown. This wound up the game. Our loss can be partly blamed on loss of players due to the flu. Likewise, in the Assumption game, Chaminade saw defeat 27-7. Assumption scored 4 touchdowns, with 3 extra points. Chaminade's single touchdown was scored by Big Jim Korak, on an eight yard run. The only serious injury was in this game, when John 0'Neil broke his nose. In the Coyle game, the tables turned, and Chaminade defeated them 7-6. This was a very close game. Korak scored the touch- down for the Flyers, and the ex- tra point was good. In the third quarter Coyle gained a touchdown, but failed to get the point. Most was made by J. Vatterott. Our second touchdown was again scored by Big Jim, but the extra point was blocked. The Priory scored during the third period, but the point was blocked by Donald Wolken. John Rafter caught two passes thrown by Tom Weyforth. This con- cluded the 1957 football season. fContinued from Page 3, Col. 35 Michael Grady Eric Moyer Fred Schudel Norman Tantulo 6th Grade Honors Gary Budke Joseph Dirnberger Daniel Green Frank Gruchalla Richard Hedenkamp Douglas Jones Theodore Liebig Larry Lombardo Steven McCormick 5th Grade High Honors Patrick Green Robert Sutemeier Honors David King James 0'Connor Ronald Schaefer 4th Grade High Honors Terrence Murphy Michael Savand Honors Tom Nicholson
