as ta '3'T'A f2t . .C f-C tucked away when, in the last few minutes of play, Walnut Hills worked the ball to the two-foot line and, after three unsuccessful attempts, plunged the ball over and tied the score, which remained 7 to 7. Schwertman, always consistent, starredon the line, as did Williams and this humble scribe. Tristano shone in the backheld. Then came the championship game, the battle with St. Xavier High for the Catholic title. It was in this contest that the boys proved their mettle. Xavier registered its first touchdown in the Hrst few minutes of play after blocking a punt. Their next score came in the second quarter. But our boys came back in the second half to show that they were not to be outclassed. Having worked the ball down to the fifteen-yard line, misfortune again laid her callous hand on the team. The Blue and Gold fumbledg Xavier recovered and ran for another touchdown. Still the boys would not give up. They again Worked the ball to the three-yard line and over for a touchdown. But it was too late to even up the score, for a few minutes later the game ended with the ball in St. Mary's possession on Xavier's twenty-yard line. VVe were defeated but not disgraced. We gave our best, but the breaks went against us. Everyone on the Blue and Gold performed well. The punting of Tristano was the best that has been displayed around the local high schools in years. The playing of Ratterman, King and Walsh featured. The Newport game was played on a muddy field. The St. Mary's boys, being greatly outweighed, could not stop the plunges of the heavy backfield men of the Ken- tucky eleven. The St. Mary's team did not display the same Hnished teamwork that characterized their previous games. Schwertman, King and the gentle chronicler performed best for the Saints. E The boys then closed their season in a blaze of glory by defeating Hamilton Catholic High, 12 to 0. The' Weather being very cold, fumbling marred the game somewhat. The work of Tristano, Walsh, Schwertman, Dreyer, Ratterman and Wessel stood out for the Saints. Thus ended another successful season for St. Mary's on the gridiron. 1 -JEROME HUGGER, '27.
