March 25, 1959 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Seven Preps Eye St. Vincent's Tourney Title The 1959 Preps are not far from completing another fine season, as their statistics indicate. The sea- son's record thus far is 14-6. This, added to winning Prep teams of past years, will mark a winning streak unbroken since 1948. In their most recent games, the Preps whitewashed Priory 33-9, and nipped Our Lady of the Uni- verse by the narrow margin of 16-13. The Saint Vincent's tournament is just around the corner and as usual the team is enviously eyeing the first place trophy. The Preps have done well thus far in tour- nament play, capturing the second place trophy in the Chaminade tournament. SOPHOMORE C WINS BANNER The Spirit Banner for the 1958- 59 basketball season was passed around several times before it was finally won by Sophomore C. Although Senior A and Junior ll more or less dominated it in the beginning of the season, Sophomore C came through strong at the closing of the sea- son to nose out Senior A by a more fraction of a point. SPORTSMANSHIP Basketball fans are a very fun- ny group. Some schools constant- ly shower the refs with boos and other uncalled-for remarks. Still others accept these calls in stride, even though they think the call's wrong. We have encountered both types of rooters in our season this year. There are some fans to be classified as rabid fans and the remaining as spectators. Rabid fans are those who are possessed with a great amount of school spirit and are not afraid to voice their opinions. The spectators merely sit and take in all the action, while not being upset in one way or another. Both types have school spirit, but one has a greater sense of pride. And where do the Chaminade fans fall? As rabid specators, rooters who are proud of their team, but have enough sense not to boo when a decision goes against them. Hats off to the six cheerleaders, Bob Hellrung, Jack Sanders, Roger Shepack, Marty Dennis, Earl Gal- lipeau, and Rich Kuzmich. They have played more than an active part in trying to promote sports- manship during our basketball games. There are always a few rabid spectators who need calm- ing down, and here is where they come in. They have shown a fine example of our true Chaminade sportsmanship. D15 3 L.. Hulshot. Kuhn. Sebacher.

IMPROVEMENTS MARK NEW YEAR The interior' of the gym, former- ly rather gloomy, has taken on a bright and beautiful new look, due to the generosity of the Fathers' Club. The main purpose of paint- ing the gym was to beautify it for the Fashion Show. Although the painting is finished, we would like to keep it as clean as it is now. The track, which stayed in pret- ty fair condition over the sum- mer and winter months, is being worked on at the present time. The baseball diamond, which has taken a beating since last year, is being fixed up with great speed. With most of the erosion filled in and much thicker sod on the outfield, the diamond should be much faster than last year, The backstop, which was blown down by the winds, is also being re-erected. fContinued from Page 17 at St. Mary's University in San Antonio.

Page Six g CARDI NAL AND WH ITE March 25, 1959 FLYERS SET SCHOOL MARK: 23-7 CHAMINADE FIVE TENSE FOR IUMP. This year the Chaminade Flyers finish the season with a 23-7 record. This has been the great- est number of victories ever com- piled in one season by a Chami- nade varsity, The team's high score of the season was a 90-point splurge against St. Francis Borgia. The team picked up five tro- phies. The Flyers took third place in the Borgia Tourney, beating Montgomery after losing a heart- breaker to DuBourg in the semi- finals. They also tied with the hosts for first place at the Maple- wood Tournament for most points scored. Then at De Andreis, the Flyers lost to McBride in the finals and had to settle for second place. They also were co-champs of the Catholic League along with the Cathedral team. In the state regionals, Chaminade beat Coun- try Day, but then lost to a fast Washington team, and later de- feated St. Francis Borgia for third place. The two most striking victories were over C.B.C., new state cham- pion, and Cathedral, who had won forty-three consecutive victories in the Catholic League. We accom- plished these two victories in our own gym, in which we were de- feated but once, by Mercy. Dur- ing the season we beat Marquette and St. Francis de Sales three times, twice in league play and once in a tourney. As far as statistics go, the high point men were Skip Viragh with 12.8 points per game, and Bob Bit- ter scoring 12.6 points per game. Our leading rebounder was Ron Meier with 187. Juan Perez led the team in assists, totaling 101. This year the team accomplished a feat which will be hard to match. All five first stringers received some distinction in the Catholic League on the All-Star Teams. Ron Meier, Bob Bitter, and Skip Viragh Were placed on the first team: Juan Perez was put on the second team, and Donny Carmody received honorable men- tion. Something which should be men- tioned is that Skip Viragh was chosen as Prep Player of the Week on Jan. 16. But none of this is possible without someone to show these men just what to do. In all columns and speeches it is stated that not enough can be said about some great respected person. You couldn't write one hundred pages on Bro. Raymond Davenport and include everything. This man is respected by everyone for what he stands for and what he tries to teach his boys-good, clean bas- ketball. As a coach of the var- sity, he has achieved superb 17-7 and 23-7 records. Even as a fresh- man coach he racked up a 21-3 season. The best of luck to you, Bro. Ray, in the future, and we know you will provide the Chami- nade fans with much to cheer about always. LETTERMEN SPARK C. C. NINE The future, for a successful baseball season, shines bright as many veterans return to the line- up. In the infield we see Kemper Coffelt at first base for his fourth varsity season, Don Carmody at short, and Lou Gallipeau at third. In the outfield, Roberts, Perez. and Saguto return. Saguto may also see service behind the plate. as he did last year. Charlie Nolan, who didn't see much action last year because of an ankle injury. may be called upon to catch. John Owens and Doug Villars are back from last year's starting mound corps. The first game of the season is scheduled for April 1. The Flyers have a good chance to capture the Catholic League crown, but will have stiff competition from last year's champs, Cathedral. Congratulations, SKIP VIRAGH!

C.B.C. winds up the season with a 27 and 4 record, one of the four losses being the 11 point Flyer victory on January 16. CURRENT SCREEN NEWS The Inn of the Sixth Happi- ness will be a special treat for those who like spectacle, fine act- ing, and Ingrid Bergman. This picture is a moving account of the career of a courageous and dedicated woman, Gladys Aylward, an English servant girl who be- came a missionary. Miss Berg- man's intense screen personality is something well worth going to see. She wa for the role whose life in was one of sacrifice, and s the perfect choice of Gladys Aylward, China in the 1930's adventure, heroism, romance. Her ro- mance, an officer of the Chinese army, is played effectively by fa- mous German actor, Curt Jurgens. The late Robert Donat is superb as a Chinese mandarin, who also falls in love with the compelling young missionary. The Sixth Happiness in the title is explained as that one which each of us must find. in his own heart. Gladys' sixth happi- ness seems to have been bringing happiness to others.
