Receiving the kickoff at the opening of the final half, the Jays marched 60 yards to their second touchdown, llughes tallying and place-kicking the goal. After this, matters once more worked smoothly with the Jesuit eleven pushing over a final six points and the game ended in the overthrow of the Bulldogs. The playing of the entire Jay team was splendid, the backfield was in fine form and the line was as strong as ever. Toribio, Martin, Hughes and Manion were the out- standing players in the backfield. The Bulldogs also played good football with Ford starring. THE HOLY CROSS GAME ln the Holy Cross classic, the Jays, laboring under a 7 to 6 disadvantage in the first quarter, came back with renewed pep and spirit in the three remaining periods and kept their spotless record clean by running up their score to 38 points. The Jays were pressed harder than was expected and met with no small amount of opposition from the Tigers. They gathered speed and power as the game progressed to win with a 38 to 7 victory. Constantly annoying the Jays with their aerial attack, the Tigers played inspired football for nearly the entire first half but weakened before the superior stamina, bet ter teamwork and deception of the defending Prep fliampions. The two terminals, Guizerix and La Rocca, were the Tiger stars of the afternoon, while Ed Fortier and Egan featured for the Jays. THE ST. ALOYSIUS GAME On Sunday afternoon, November 27, the Jesuit Blue Jays neared the goal of their race for Prep Championship when they out-scored the St. Aloysius Panthers to the tune of 27 to 12. The result of the contest made it possible for the Jay eleven to enter a play'-off in the Southern di- vision for the championship of the State. 'lillis victory gave Jesuits a right to play Bogalusa. As the Aloysius game proceeded, it developed into a duel between the two captains, liddie Toribio and Eddie Daigle, in which speed and power were the determining factors. At the beginning of the second quarter, Daigle circled his left wing to cross the goal line after a 24,'ylll'll dash. Toribio, however, immediately returned the compliment by scoring from the Jesuit 4.5 yard line. A pass from Hughes served for the extra point. Toribio's brawn and speed again carried him through the Panther line for a run of 20 yards which put the ball into a position making it possible for Cambre to score. A splendid 75-vard race for a touchdown behind il- terference led ns hcmelli resulted in Daigles scoring., once more early in the final quarter Cnn mu-ss Lokek MAR1x0 CAI vo Hunts C -HARRI- 'Vhxxox Fnwakus

The Blue Jay Football Season fContinunlj Broussard, center, and Mouton back, were outstanding players on the Cathedral team. THE INDEPENDENCE GAME On the night of October 29 the fighting Blue ays met and downed the scrappy Independence eleven in a 32 to o victory. The Jesuit attack was ably planned and led by Eddie Toribio, whose speed and grit several times brought him through the enemys line for touchdowns. His and Man- ions playing in the backfield made possible the brilliant victory. Egan Childress and Hecker accredited them- selves nobly on the line. Captain Starns, of the visitors together with Jacobsen, Addison and Cattadina, deserve much credit for their skill and spirit throughout the battle. THE FORTIER GAME Starting with a rush and clearly outplaying the liortier Tarpons the Jesuit Blue Jays romped to an 18 to 6 vic- tory on a muddy field at Loyola Stadium. Despite a mist-like rain, a record crowd of rr ooo wit- nessed the contest. The Jays had the ball in 'larpon territory throughout the first quarter due to 1 blocked kick. They did not how- ever, have suf'l'icient power to score until early in the sec- ond period 1 lter in the same quarter a fumble recoy ered by Mad den, gave esuits a second chance and Captain 'foribio scored through left guard. After play had been resumed at the third quarter, the Fortier team started their best offensive attack of the game but it was stopped on the Jesuit 45 yard line. From there, the Blue and VS hite took the ball and in six plays con- verted their efforts into a touchdown. Yortier continued to fight hard but could get nowhere until, with three minutes to play Captain Doug Johnson broke loose and scored from his own 33 yard line almost unassisted. THE BATON ROUGE GAME A courageous and ever-fighting Blue Jay team eked out a spectacular victory Saturday night November 12, when after a dissatisfying start they overtook the Baton Rouge Bulldogs winning 20 to I5 in one of the greatest high school games ever played at Loyola Stadium. The first Baton Rouge touchdown resulted from a poor kick by Hughes and a beautiful 49-Xilfll touchdown jaunt ly Soupy Ford, a hard-running Rougean back. Some time later, a bad pass from center found Martin recovering the ball behind his own goal for a safety and the avs now were trailing 9 to o. -Petting the ball on the visitorq 40 yarn line in t e second quarter, the locals brought it over in four plays' Ioribio scoring Not much liter in the game, Ford intertepted Hughes Xouxc.
