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

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.

Page Eight CARDINAL AND WHITE November, l957 SENIORS OF THE MONTH Ioe Ellebrecht. Mike Tueth, Charles Maeder, Iohn DeCosta. Lloyd Klinedinst, Paul Rolier, Frank Blumeyer. Missing: Bill Hamilton, Iohn Mucheca. This new feature of the Cardinal and White has been reintroduced, after being absent from the school paper for the last two years. The purpose of this article is to acquaint the underclassmen with the seniors of our school, the leaders of the various activities, etc., helping to further develop the family spirit which we feel exists here at Chaminade. The first group of Seniors we are featuring are graduates of Our Lady of the Pillar grade school, to which Chaminade is closely affiliated, Frank Blumeyer, as many of you know, is the senior who sat in the speakers' box at the Extra Curriculars Meeting last month, but because of the time element, was never able to publicly introduce himself. He was to speak on the Serv- ers' Club, of which he is a very active member. But this is not all of Frank's activities: his ever- changing collection of Cadillacs is a source of constant kidding by other Seniors. Lloyd Klinedinst, the M.A.C.'s answer to Es- ther Williams, needs little introduction to Chamin- ade students. Besides holding the office of Stu- dent Council president, he is also editor of the year book, and a vice-president of the Senior So- dality. Lloyd is treasurer of the Latin Club, and is very active in the Pillar Parish, having been elected president of the Pillar Youth Club earlier this year. John Macheca, on the other hand, may need quite a bit of introduction to you, because he is seen only in the latter part of the week, when he comes late and leaves early. Seriously though, John is one of the bulwarks of our football team, and is on the track team also. He is an active member of the Knights of the Altar. Joseph Ellebrecht, known chiefly for his party- going personality, is one of the most active mem- bers of the Senior Class. He is engaged in speech activity, and is in the Junior United Nations. He is a member of the Knights of the Altar, and is associate editor of the school paper. Joe is the school representative to the Saint Louis Sodality Union, Along with Lloyd, he is one of the leaders of the Pillar Youth Club, hold- ing the position of Secretary. Bill Hamilton, on the event of his graduation, will effect a pause in the Hamiltonian era at Chaminade. As were his two brothers in the last two years, he is an officer of the Student Council holding office as Secretary. He is one of the school's two Prom reporters. Bill's full round of activities include the membership in the Speech and Debate teams, as well as the Sodality. Last year he was the Junior Dance Committee chair- man, and President of the Junior Sodality. His chief interest this year is his vice-presidency of the Latin Club. Michael Tueth, who spends more time on the campus than any resident student, has become a notable character in many of the school's activities. As Editor-in-Chief of the Cardinal and White, he has been able to organize the staff so that there can be an edition of the paper monthly. Mike is President of the Sodality, and is a blue ribbon man in Speech and Debate. He is student council representative from Senior A, and is also Secretary of the Latin Club, Paul Rotter is practically a boarder at Cham- inade, since he lives approximately 100 feet off the campus. He is a devoted member of the Car- dinal and White staff without whom many of these articles could have never gone to press. Paul is also an active member in the Sodality, and is in the Servers' Club. John DeCosta is probably the most musically minded person in the group, having been a member of the Varsity Band for the past four years. John was a member of the Cardinal and White staff in his Freshman year. Charles Maeder's chief position in the scope of school activities is being president of the Latin Club: but he is also engaged in Speech and Debate, and last year was chief delegate to the Junior United Nations. Charles is also a member of the Cardinal and White staff. However, his interests have waned in these regards recently since his purchase of a new Fiat, which, to the uneducated, is Italy's answer to the Morris. War and Peace fContinuedh Anna Pavolana had been coughing for the last few days, she had an attack of la grippe', as she said-grippe' was the new word only used by a. few people. In the notes she had sent round in the morning, by a footman in red livery, she had written to all indiscriminately: If you have noth- ing better to do, count for princel, and if the prospect of spending an evening with a poor in- valid is not too alarming to you, I shall be charmed to see you at my house between seven and ten. Annette Scherer. Heavens! what a violent outburst! , the prince responded, not at the least disconcerted at such a reception.
