Ificjb School Tootball rp A HEX Mr. Meyer and Coach Carroll issued the call for high school football squad candidates, they were swamped with material, a fact indicative of the interest shown. The I’reps got away to a flying start when they trounced Highland Park of Topeka, 44-0. The game was all Irish from the very beginning and the locals had no difficulty at all. In the second game, the Carrollmen dropped the powerful College Frosh squad, 6-0. Hill Pope’s St. Mary’s Stars, from the village, numbering among them some of the best men in the leagues, took a beating as the Preps hung up their third win of the short season. The score was 20-6, but in no way does it tell the story of the High School’s supremacy. The final game of the High School schedule was the Thanksgiving day tilt with Topeka Catholic. Club. Since it was the main attraction here, as the varsity was away, the Little Irish proceeded to make the most of the day. At first they showed signs of stage fright and let the Capital City team get the lead when they scored on the first play. But the locals settled down to football after that and turned it into a 20-6 victory and a clean slate for the season. The success of the High School season is due in no small measure to the untiring efforts of Mr. T. Meyer. S. J„ and Prof. Carroll, coaches of the team. The co-operation between coaches and players was all that could be desired and aided greatly in writing into the history of the St. Mary’s High School another successful football season.

Ota .Football Ceagues 33 wyj 11K Football leagues arc an institution that St. Mary’s could not very well do without. They have grown, iron) a humble beginning back in grB3 the days when most of us were cutting teeth, and before, to a system of athletic development that has gained recognition all over the United States. And here at St. Mary’s they not only serve as a recreation but as a unit, and a big one, in the development of varsity material. More than one of the stars of yesterday and today owes his fame to “busted shins” on the league fields. In first league. Tommy Welsh led his team through a championship season, and finished on top of the heap, after having his lead threatened by every team in the loop. Johnny Ryan moved over from the Small Yard just in time to pilot his team to a second league championship, though he had Blake’s team on his heels the whole way. He had the necessary spunk though and the record shows his eleven perched on top of the standings. In third league, (ientleman O’Grady appropriated the honors with an air of finality that left no one in doubt as to just where the silver footballs should go in his league. All in all. the leagues passed through an unequalled season, both as regards the schedule, the | ep. the interest, and the spirit of co-operation shown. 1'heir success was in a large way due to Mr. J. Meyer. S. J.. and Bill Burns, the latter the “(A C. Pyle of the Kansas Conference,” who took charge of the clerical end of the work and had things ready at just the right time.
