Climaxing weeks of preparation and drilling the homecoming celebration became a reality beginning the evening of October 31 with a bonfire, centering around a football game between Fort Wayne Cen¬ tral Catholic and St. Joseph’s Academy, and ending with a victory dance. The rally on the eve of the game is one to be long remembered. The effigy of a Fort Wayne player was riotously beheaded in a guillotine by the co-capt ains of the football team, as the cheers, speeches and promises all blended into the color and glory of the evening. After inspiring talks by coaches and players ' the bonfire, largest in campus history, was kindled. omecomincf Fort Wayne and St. Joseph’s proved fairly well matched in the homecoming game, St. Joe was able to claim the deciding factor. It was Jerry Diver, who delivered the deciding drop kick in the 7-6 en¬ counter. Last, but far from least was the Homecom¬ ing Victory Dance held at the Hazelden Country Club. Both the young couples and the faculty chaperones considered the evening, climaxed by the selection of homecoming queen and the presentation of souve¬ nir footballs, a great success. Thus, St. Joseph’s Academy homecoming festivi¬ ties passed with a most appropriate and beautiful swan song. Page sixty-seven

ST. JOE—0 NOLL OF HAMMOND—0 We journeyed to Hammond for our first game away. It resembeled a first game more than anything. This was the poorest exhibition of football of the sea¬ son. One drive went into their one yard line, but we failed to score in two downs; they took over. Cantieri and Kasperan kept us in the game with their defensive play. Lamkin sparked the running at¬ tack. ST. JOE—13 MONTICELLO—0 After a two weeks’ rest and eager to get into the winning column we moved down to Monticello. The game was more of a run-away than the score indicates. We actually scored four times, but two were called back. The entire line played outstanding ball with Cantieri leading the way. The fact that Monticello was never inside our forty yard line bears evidence to how well the forward wall was playing. Lamkin scored the first marker on an end run. Hartlage scored the second when A1 Cantieri tackled one of their backs so hard that the ball sailed into the air and Gene pulled it in as he headed for pay dirt. Hess converted after the second marker. Rossi and Cantieri scored the two that didn’t count, but they were beautiful runs just the same. ST. JOE—14 SOUTH BEND C. C.—0 A week after the Monticello game the Cubs were hosts to a strong South Bend eleven. It seems we weren’t very good hosts since we downed them 14-0. After the first few minutes there was little doubt as to the outcome. Dulack scored in the second quarter on a pass from Costin. Kasperan booted the extra point. In the second half we had numerous opportuni¬ ties, but seemed to be carrying a jinx when the ball was near the goal line. Late in the third quarter, with the ball on their five yard line, Kasperan passed to Costin for the second touchdown. Kas¬ peran also converted for the extra point. The last quarter was more of a see-saw battle, with South Bend trying to get back into the game and our line just as determined not to let them. Hess, Burton, Cantieri, and Hartlage lead the line plays. Kasperan again proved himself a worthy tackier and line plunger. ST. JOE, 7; FORT WAYNE C. C., 6 In their final game the Cubs were out to defeat the heavily favored Fort Wayne Central Catholic team. It was our Home¬ coming game and what a day it was. The field was soaked after two days of con¬ stant rain. There was talk of calling the game off until a later date. Finally the game got under way about an hour late. Fort Wayne kicked off to us and Can¬ tieri returned the ball to the fifty yard line. Unable to gain, we punted. Then the Irish began a march which climaxed in a touchdown in little more than two minutes. They failed to make the extra point on a plunge. Lamkin returned their kick-off to the Fort Wayne thirty-seven. On a series of ground plays Kasperan scored. Diver went in to kick the extra point and did just that. The scoring was all over in about five minutes. The re¬ mainder of the game was more of a mud bath. The field was a quickmire after the first quarter and there were no more serious scoring threats by either team. As one paper stated, “A1 Cantieri’s magnificant offensive and defensive play, Lee Hess defensively as a line backer, and Don Kasperan’s line plunges were the deciding factors in the victory.”
