It is not especially difficult to faith- fully catalog a few of the outstanding events, of which the history of the class of 1929 is made; but to attempt to record these facts without an appre- ciable degree of admiration for a class that has played such a prominent role in all school activities for a period of four years, is to attempt the impossible. The history of the class of 1929 is the history of the production of useful changes in each member of the class. This four year period has witnessed the maturation of the green material” of freshman days into the represen- tative graduates; it has beheld the gradual sharpening of the physical, mental, and spiritual fibers of the students; it has marked the establishment of endur- ing friendships, of pleasant memories, and of ambitious dreams. But it is the poet who writes of these things—not the historian. A general survey of the history of the class discloses an indominitablc spirit which has caused its members to excel in all fields of student activity. Scholastically, the class has maintained an exceptional average; five of its group are charter members of The Honor Society,” as recognition of scho- lastic excellence and participation in student life. The class valedictorian, Florian Schleck, will be graduated with a Summa cum laude,” the highest scholastic reward that the institution can bestow upon an individual. Moreover, members of the class of 1929 have distinguished themselves in athletics no less than in scholasticism. No less than twenty of the graduating class are members of the Monogram Club. A survey of the composition of any St. Thomas athletic team in intercollegiate competition in the past few years will disclose a more than proportionate number of students from this class. It is no idle boast to say that a great part of the success of the athletic teams may honestly be attributed to the class of 1929. Again, in the field of forensics and dramatics, the class has proven its unquestionable worth. Three members of our class have played no little part in establishing St. Thomas’ national reputation in debate. Carmi Lawrence, John McCarthy, and Daniel Lane, members of the graduating class, hold the degree of Special Distinction, the highest honor bestowed by the national honorary forensic fraternity, as recognition of at least three years of excellence in intercollegiate debate. In four years there has never been an important intercollegiate debate in which at least one member of the class has not par- ticipated. The class, also, played its part in dramatics. Clinton A. Byrne and Harris Nuerenberg have for the past years directed the activity of the Players Club, which has staged the dramatic presentations of the institution. In the past year, John McCarthy and Daniel Lane have also been added to this select list, limited to the twelve men who have done outstanding work in dramatic production. Thus may the general history of the class be told. Of how the class has i ! IKHil J Y DBT jnsTO lent untiring efforts to every branch of student activity; of how it has conscien- tiously attempted to preserve the traditions of St. Thomas; and of how, by its very example, it has added its own small share to the spirit of the insti- tution. We turn now to a brief review of each year. As freshmen the class was typical freshman class, possessing all the characteristics of crudeness and egoism which are commonly associated with first year men; but possessing, also, the vigor and strength of youth, and a humble desire to satisfy. Almost two hundred in number, the efforts of the class were directed toward the acclimatization to college life. Robert Krause of Chicago was elected Class President; John Kinsella of St. Paul was elected Vice President; and William Rellahan of Stevens Point, Wise., Secretary-Treasurer. Under these officers, the class made a serious attempt to assimilate the true St. Thomas spirit— a task facilitated with rather material weapons by the sophomores and upper classmen. As freshmen our contributions were limited to an excellent fresh- man football team, captained by William Rellahan, and the wood, gathered from all parts of the city for the most gigantic Homecoming bonfire in the history of the school. The activities of the class during the sophomore year were directed by John Hyland as President, by Clinton A. Byrne as Vice-President, and by John Lord as Secretary-Treasurer. During this year the class established itself as a definite contender for athletic honors. The strong varsity line may be attributed to such sophomore men as Twomey, Murray, Bittner, Popowski, and Mucllerleilc, while Baumgartner, Baucrly, Murray, Johnson, Sheehan and Stans established themselves as basketball stars. The class this year won the highest scholastic standing in the school; the reputation as best students was well-earned and has been just as well maintained. The class of 1929 ideally played the important role assigned to it as the Junior Class of 1928. The Class elected Joseph Burke of Minneapolis as its President; Phil Gearin of Oak Park, Illinois, as Vice-President; Daniel Lane of South St. Paul as Secretary; and William Rellahan of Stevens Point as Treasurer. The most important class function of the year was the Junior Ball, at which the members of the class of 1929 were the honored guests. The beautiful Hotel Lowry ballroom was selected as an appropriate hall. The Ball itself, given the evening of April twentieth, may without prejudice, be said to have been the acme of the social season. As juniors the various members of the class quietly assumed positions of dominance in athletics, forensics, dramatics and journalism. It numbered among its members a great majority of the students on the campus who made constructive contributions in extra-curricular activities. The Class of ’29 in its last year upon the campus occupied an extra- ordinary position. It has had the double advantage of possessing the choice traditions of past administrations as well as the constructive improvements of the new. Daniel Lane of South St. Paul was elected President; Louis I j | vs It • ll iwuwZHim £]| W ♦v Markoe of Hammond, Indiana Vice-President; Clinton A. Byrne of St. Paul, Secretary; Joseph Burke of Minneapolis, Treasurer. The leadership of the members of the class has always been compatible with their position as seniors; no higher compliment can be paid a graduating class. The class, in cap and gowns, formed a part of the colorful march to honor Father Schumacher upon the occasion of his Silver Jubilee celebration. Again, upon St. Thomas Aquinas Day, the class, in cap and gown, aided in the celebration of the Feast of the Patron Saint of our school. The Senior Class members were the guests of honor at the annual Junior Ball held at the Hotel Lowry on April 19th; this dance shared with the Senior Dance, given on May 18th, the honor of being the gayest event on the social calendar. The graduating class of this year contains many members whose names will not soon be forgotten; their service to the institution will be a by-word in years to come. Among the athlptes, the work of Joseph Burke as Captain of the football team, Lambert Baumgartner as Captain of the basketball team, Randolph Jouno as Captain of the hockey team is memorable; nor will the names of Leander Stans, Rafe Bittner, William Rcllahan, and Cyril Sheehan soon be forgotten. The Debate team loses three Special Destruction” men in Daniel Lane, Carmi Lawrence, and John McCarthy. Graduation will cost journalism the services of Clinton A. Byrne, whose untiring service has made The Purple and Gray” one of the most readable college papers pub- lished; the contributions of Cyril Sheehan, Randolph Jouno and Florian Schleck will be sorely missed. Nor will dramatics escape the toll of grad- uation; Harris Nuerenberg, Clinton A. Byrne, John McCarthy and Daniel Lane are named among its lot. So might the enviable record of the class be told; the service of the class will not go unrewarded. The four years have oassed quickly. Well may the class look back upon its history with humble satisfaction; Well may they say with Francis Thompson: The fairest things have the fleetest end.” Ginl Ko : Left io Ri{hl: Spiel� .

THOMAS 12, RIVER FALLS TEACHERS’ 20 River Falls with a well balanced and exceptionally heavy line, defeated St. Thomas at St. Thomas, 20-12. After two drives to the Cadet goal in the first quarter the Peds finally scored their first touchdown. Their second marker came after a Tommy fumble. The oval bounded for many yards over the gridiron and was finally picked up by Alphonse of River Falls who sped 45 yards for the score. Just as the second quarter was ending, McPartlin, St. Thomas, intercepted a forward pass and raced 70 yards for a touchdown. St. Thomas played a much better brand of ball during the third quarter. At one time they placed the ball on the Pedagogues’ 10-yard line but could not score. Then the Purple warriors opened up a passing attack which carried the ball well into Falls territory. Hamm carried the oval over on an end run. River Falls got their third marker in the fourth quarter. Hamm, Hall and Mullen played the best ball for the Cadets.

THOMAS 6, AUGSBURG 6 Augsburg opened the St. Thomas conference schedule and held the Tommies to a 6-6 tic on the Cadet field. The Auggies threatened first in the second quarter. A pass and a penalty out the ball on the Tommy 10-yard line, but a pass failed and St. Thomas got the ball on their own 20-yard line. At the opening of the second half the Purple and Gray began a march down the field. A pass, Hall to Hamm, netted 16 yards and Hamm ran the rest of the distance to the 26-yard marker; again he went through to place the oval on the 12-yard line. Hamm’s next attempt brought the pigskin to within one yard of the Auggie touchdown line. Johnson scored. It was late in the final stanza that the Auggies staged their rally. A pass put the oval on the Tommy 12-yard stripe. Another pass, Pederson to Kolesar, scored the tying touchdown. ST. THOMAS 0, NORTH DAKOTA STATE 18 North Dakota State won its fifth consecutive victory over St. Thomas, 18-0, at Fargo. The Cadets played better football than the score indicates but lacked the final punch when near the Aggie goal. St. Thomas was on North Dakota’s 1-foot, 3-yard, and 15-yard lines during the contest. Both teams made eleven first downs. The Tommies completed twelve passes for one-hundred and forty- five yards while the Ags completed but two for thirty-four yards. The Aggies got their first score in the opening quarter. It came as a result of May’s open field run. May also scored their second touchdown in the second period. The final stanza saw another Aggie score. For the Cadets, Captain Burke, Ryan and Hamm played nice ball. ST. THOMAS 13, MINNESOTA B 6 A speedy forward passing attack gave St. Thomas a 13-6 win over the Minnesota B outfit at the latter’s stadium. After five minutes of scrimmage St. Thomas placed the ball on Min- nesota’s 20-yard line and a spectacular pass play, Hall to Hamm brought the first touchdown. Another pass late in the period gave the Cadets a 35-yard yard gain and they were again on the Bee’s 20-yard mark. Hamm was then given perfect interference for another touchdown. The Gophers now made a strong comeback. They brought the oval deep into Purple and Gray territory and carried the ball over the goal but were not allowed a marker because of an off-side. However they continued their drive for a valid score and their efforts were rewarded when Champion wiggled through the Tom’s forward wall for his team’s lone touchdown. Minnesota threatened again before the half was over but a pass on the Cadet 10-yard line gave the Purple and Gray a touchback and put the oval a the 20-yard streak. In the third quarter the winners had but a slight edge in the play. In the final stanza St. Thomas hurled pass after pass and often were • hin striking distance of the Minnesota goal but failed to score. ‘ ♦ K AY OE-T c.i ST. THOMAS 2, MACALESTER 6 Macalester upset the Minnesota conference dope and defeated St. Thomas 6-2 at Shaw field. It was their first win over the Purple and Gray since 1920. For a long time St. Thomas enjoyed a two-point lead which they gained w en the Mac backs got mixed up on the end lines in the second quarter, r' erner being downed well behind his own goal line for a safety. In the third quarter the Cadets started a march which netted them three first downs but here a pass was intercepted. After an exchange of punts the Macs got the ball on their own 31-yard line. Again the Toms held and the Presbyterian school booted the oval over Quarterback Hall’s head, it being downed on the St. Thomas 8-yard line. Marty James of St. Thomas skirted end for 15 yards. On the next play the Tommies fumbled and Ball, Macalester, scooped up his namesake and was not brought to earth until he reached the Cadet 12-yard line. The winners scored on the next play. For St. Thomas, Captain Burke, Marty James and Antil played nice ball. ST. THOMAS 6, GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS 26 After trailing during the first half the Gustavus Adolphus footballers came back in the second half and trounced St. Thomas 26-6. The Cadet’s only score came early in the second quarter after the Tommies had downed a Gustic punt in the center of the field. A long pass, Hall to Hamm, paved the way for Hoy to score through the line. The St. Peter team came back with a march to the Tommy 1-yard line but they fumbled and Hoy recovered. In the last half the Gustics scored four touchdowns having little diffi- culty tearing through the St. Thomas line and they scoring on end runs. After three touchdowns the losers desperately opened up an aerial attack that proved costly, allowing the Gusties to score another. ST. THOMAS 13, HAMLINE 19 Led by Hanson, all-state fullback, Hamline scored its first grid victory n seven years over St. Thomas, 19-13, on Norton field. St. Thomas entered the game with many stars out of its lineup on account of injuries, but fought the better Hamline line to the last minute. Hamline won the game chiefly by taking advantage of St. Thomas’ fum- bles. The Pipers started the fumbling themselves after two plays at the opening of the game to let the Cadets score and then the Tommies did the ball-dropping act for the rest of the encounter. Dick Hall of Hamline fumbled the ball on the first play and Burke recovered. A pass and a plunge by Hoy scored for St. Thomas. Hamline took the kickoff on its own 38-yard line and marched down the field on five consecutive first downs by Hall and Hanson to the 1-yard line from where the latter went over. St. Thomas returned with a march toward the Piper goal but fumbled, gj KAY D£T wsma i Hamline recovering. Hanson now broke through the Cadet line and raced to the P. and G. 3-yard line before he was downed by Franny Hall. Hall of Hamline went over on the second play. The third quarter was devoid of thrills. But in the final stanza with the wind at their backs the Pipers gained new life as Hanson grabbed a Cadet fumble and raced 45 yards for Hamline’s third marker. The Tommies then resorted to an aerial game that placed the pea on Hamline’s 37-yard white mark. Hamm then dashed around end twice for 27 and 16 yards and a touchdown. ST. THOMAS 8, ST. MARY’S 7 St. Thomas won its only conference game of the season when they de- feated St. Mary’s in a thrilling contest, 8-7, on the Purple and Gray home- coming day. It was the only conference defeat for the Rcdmen and the loss brought them down from undisputed first place to a tic with Augsburg. St. Thomas started the thrills by scoring a safety in the first quarter. The Cadets had kicked and Oas of Winona fumbled on the first play. Hamm recovered on the Reds 15-yard line. A toss over the touchdown line by Hall to Hamm bounced off the latter’s hands into Miller’s, the visiting quarterback. The Cadets tackled him in his tracks. St. Thomas had the wind against them but in spite of this Hall did some pretty good punting in this frame. Miller, the visitor’s cut-back artist, was dumped a number of times for 10-yard losses. After being forced by penalties and vicious tackling back to their own 10-yard line, the Redmen started what looked like a rally when they sent Oas through for a first down. Miller cut back and forth for a time on three plays eluding several tacklers but gained no ground. The play was even for the remainder of the half except when St. Mary’s placed the oval on the Tommies 22-yard line, but the inspired Cadets held and Hall pulled a 62-yard punt. St. Mary’s began a brilliant drive to the Tommy goal to start the second half, Miller did some sensational work to carry the pill to the Tommy 12-yard stripe. After a number of unsuccessful tries at the line, Oas tossed a pass to Miller to put St. Mary’s in the lead. Miller did some nifty zig-zagging to score the extra point. St. Thomas received. Hoy returned the ball to his own 35-yard line. After two tries at the line Hall dropped back to punt, but instead he dashed off left tackle behind perfect interference and cutting in and out galloped 70 yards for the winning touchdown and another hard-earned victory over St. Thomas traditional rivals.

THOMAS 31, MIX BROTHERS OF AUSTIN 27 The St. Thomas quint journeyed to Austin and won from Brothers 31-27 in a hard-fought game. The Tommies with only three days practice were still better than the Independents. ST. THOMAS 37, NORTHERN STATES POWER CO. 24 Frank Mayer, assistant Tommy football coach brought his Northern States Power Co. team to the Cadet Armory where they were defeated 37-24. Coach Gibbs used his entire squad. ST. THOMAS 36, ST. JOHN’S PARISH 30 The St. Thomas first stringers had little difficulty running up a sub- stantial lead on the St. John’s Parish five. With the second team playing the second half the game was more closely contested. The final score was 36-30. ST. THOMAS 36, M. W. SAVAGE CO. 14 The Varsity continued its winning streak over independent clubs by- defeating the M. W. Savage Co. 36-14 on the Cadet floor. Stans and Fitz- harris played strong games for the Purple and Gfay. ST. THOMAS 34, PHANTOMS 36 The Minneapolis Phantoms was the first independent club to defeat the St. Thomas cagers. After a red-hot battle the score stood 36-34. The Phantoms went a long way in their drive for the independent title of Min- neapolis. ST. THOMAS 16, ANCHOR PAPER CO. 21 The Varsity floormcn faltered for a few minutes near the close of the first half of their game with the Anchors. This put the Papers ahead and they continued to hold the lead at the end of the contest 21-16. ST. THOMAS 35, ST. JOHN’S PARISH 26 St. Thomas defeated St. John’s Parish for the second time 35-26. The Tommies exhibited a complete reversal of form after their disastrous game with the Anchors. ST. THOMAS 34, ST. PAUL LUTHER 14 St. Paul Luther College met defeat in the hands of the Cadet quint 34-14 at the Tommy Armory. The inexperienced Phalcn five was no match for the Toms. ST. THOMAS 24, ST. PAUL LUTHER 14 In the second game of a double-header, St. Paul Luther dropped an- other to the fast-going Tommies 24-14. Coach Gibbs used his second team most of the game and the Sheehan brothers saw service in both contests. ST. THOMAS 25, HAMLINE 31 In a thrilling game between old rivals, the Hamline U outfit defeated St. Thomas at the Armory, 31-25. It was the opening conference game and both clubs were a little unsteady due to the fast pace. Hamline scored shortly after the initial tip-off and held the lead throughout but the Cadets were often within one point of overhauling them. The losers trailed 16-10 at the opening of the second half but brilliant shooting by Baumgartner and Sheehan made it 18-17 for the Pipers. Then the Hamlinites steadily drew away from the hard fighting P. and G’s. With a two-point lead late in the contest, they began to stall. The Toms in their frantic efforts to score left their defense wide open and Hall, who was the winner’s most brilliant performer, dropped in three shots in the last two minutes. Antil and Baumgartner were the Cadet luminaries. ST. THOMAS 25, ST. OLAF 29 Although St. Thomas scored twenty points to St. Olaf’s three in the second half, they could not overcorap the huge 26-6 lead piled up by the Northfielders in the opening half and trailed at the end of the game 29-25. Throughout the first period of play the Oles displayed a well-working short-passing game that made them appear as championship calibre. The second half comeback on the part of the Tommies was one of the most brilliant ever seen on the Ole floor. Especially adept at counting was Bauerly, veteran Cadet forward. ST. THOMAS 26, ST. MARY’S 25 The St. Thomas cagers defeated St. Mary’s 26-25 in a cautionsly played game on the Cadet floor. Both clubs did some tight guarding. Only once were the Winonans in the lead and that was five minutes before the first-half gun sounded. The Tommies came through with a much more accurate passing game and a better shooting eye than in their previous conference encounters. John- son played a strong game at guard for the winners. KAYDET ST. THOMAS 33, ST. JOHN’S 21 It was the fast passing attack of St. Thomas that gave them a 33-21 win over St. John’s at Collegeville in a game featured by the close-up shots of the victors and the long shots of the Johnnies. The visitors sunk two field goals in the opening minutes of play and from that time on had things their own way. Bauerly of St. Thomas sank five field goals. Hamm played a neat game at defense and gained four field goals and one free throw. ST. THOMAS 24, HAMLINE 28 Overcoming a three-point Tommy lead in the last three minutes of play, the Hamline cagers defeated St. Thomas 28-24 at the Piper gym. Due to the close guarding both teams resorted to long shots at the opening of the fray. The Pipers had the edge in the first half because the Tommies failed to find the loop consistently although they had as many chances as the winners. Goals by Anti!, Bauerly and Baumgartner gave the Cadets a 21-17 lead late in the contest but Hall of Hamline was fouled as he dropped in a close shot and made the gift throw good. This put his team within one point of the Toms. Then Hamm and Johnson added three more to the leader’s total. After Wentworth of Hamline made a free throw the Tommies began to stall with a three-point lead, but the Pipers intercepted several passes and counted four points to take the lead. It was Hamline’s turn to stall which they did in good fashion. The Cadets were drawn out and the victors scored three more. Captain Baumgartner, Antil and Johnson were the best Tommies. ST. THOMAS 18, ST. OLAF 28 Dropping in baskets from almost any angle the St. Olaf team piled up a big lead in the first half, maintained the lead throughout and emerged victorious for the second time this season over St. Thomas, 28-18. The victory put the Oles in a tie for first place. The Oles grabbed a 10-0 lead before the home team took a shot but a flock of Tommy reserves broke the monotony by dropping a few through the rim. The Oles displayed the flashiest brand of ball seen on the Cadet floor this season, dribbling as though their hands were magnets and scoring with uncanny regularity. Marturano, sub-guard, was the best man in a Cadet suit. ST. THOMAS 31, ST. JOHN’S 14 In a game full of bad passing and shooting, St. Thomas won over St. John’s 31-14 in the Tommy Armory. The man-for-man defense of both clubs were impregnable for five minutes. Then the visitors broke away for three points but Baticrlv and Hamm evened it up. M Its i • K A Y O DT ?5Si Play was again erratic for a time but at the twelve-mintes mark Bauerly popped in a short one and Hamm followed immediately with another. Bauerly got another field goal and a free throw. Johnson duplicated Bauerly’s work and the count rose to 13 in less than two minutes. E The Johnnies came back with a new vigor at the opening of the second stanza but their spurt was short-lived as Johnson and Marturano caged a few long ones and put the contest on ice. ST. THOMAS 31, AUGSBURG 23 The Augsburg team was tumbled from the lead in the state conference 31-23 by St. Thomas before a large crowd on the latter’s floor. Close guarding featured the tilt. Baskets could be scored only by fast breaking for the net. Snappy and to-the-mark passing coupled with nifty all- around floor work made the game one of the best ever played at the Irish Armory. Swede” Johnson held Kolcsar, the visitors scoring star, to one field goal. At one time in the second half the Augs led 20-17 but baskets by Baum- gartner and Bauerly put the winners in the lead again. The Tommies began a stalling game which drew the Auggies out and enabled St. Thomas to break through the scattered defense for more pot shots. ST. THOMAS 19, CONCORDIA 21 The league leading Concordia five defeated the St. Thomas Cadets in the last minute of play, 21-19 at Moorhead. St. Thomas got off to a fast start, solving the Cobber’s zone defense and getting five points. But the Cobs retaliated with two baskets and a free throw to even the count. Concordia now took the lead at various times by two and three points but the Tommies always made up the difference. With one minute to play and the score tied, the Concordians scored the winning basket and then stalled successfully. ST. THOMAS 27, CONCORDIA 40 Concordia’s fast passing attack again beat St. Thomas 40-27 at St. Thomas. The winners were always in the lead. Only once were the Cadets able to cut the margin to any extent and that was in the first half when the score stood 12-9. Both teams missed plenty of shots in the opening half but Con- cordia followed their long ones to count oftener than the Tommies. In the second half Concordia pierced the Midway defense with little difficulty. After the Cobbers had garnered a safe lead the Tommies tried a five man defense which left their basket open to more Cob points. McMahon, Pates and Antil played nice ball for St. Thomas. sW, f • K A YOB T ST. THOMAS 20, ST. MARY’S 22 Miller, St. Mary’s forward and their quarterback of football fame, gained sweet revenge for the football defeat handed the Redmen by St. Thomas last Fall, when he scored a field goal in the last minute of the Tommy St. Mary’s basketball game to win for his team 22-20. St. Mary’s took the lead at the outset but the Tommies cut it down to tie 11-11 at the half. In the second session the lead often see-sawed. St. Mary’s once had a four-point advantage but baskets by Baumgartner and Antil kept the Cadets in the running. Miller then got his short shot to sew up the contest. Hamm played a nifty game at guard for the Tommies. ST. THOMAS 39, AUGSBURG 32 Led by Captain Baumgartner, who scored fourteen points, the St. Thomas quintet won over Augsburg at Pillsbury House, 39-22. The Saints took the lead at the very start and the Augs never had a chance. Coach Melby of the losers sent in many subs in a vain attempt to stem the tide. Baumgartner went on a scoring bee in the second half to score four bas- kets in two minutes, one of them from difficult angles. He with McMahon, Johnson and Hamm led the winner’s attack. ST. THOMAS 30, GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS 22 With a revamped lineup, St. Thomas easily defeated Gustavus Adolphus at St. Thomas, 30-22. Baumgartner and Antil were back at their old places at forward and center respectively and Johnson, formerly a forward, was placed at guard. Not long after the opening of the game, St. Thomas had a 12-2 lead but the Gusties hung up a few long ones to bring the score to 20-13 at half time. The Gusties came back to start the second half with what looked like a rally but the Cadets settled down to business and held their opponents scoreless until Coach Gibbs inserted his substitutes. ST. THOMAS 23, MACALESTER 28 Macalester played driving basketball in the second half to defeat the over-confident St. Thomas quint, 28-23 at the Mac gym. The lead changed hands several times. Mac stalled with a 23-21 lead with three minutes to go, but the Tommies broke up their passes and tied the count. Then the Snelling Avenue boys got lucky and climbed to the top with five more points. Although the game was exciting, play on both sides was somewhat ragged. Antil, Johnson, McMahon and Bauerly kept the losers in the running. It was Mac’s first court victory over St. Thomas in five years. m i 1 ! I n n i I |Kj P fei I It Attii ip iK.ii oTfYn TTr;T'V5;'''' KAY DET ST. THOMAS 19, GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS 38 The Gustavus Adolphus cagers caught St. Thomas on an off night and as a result conquered, 38-19. The Tommies made their greatest stand in the first half sometimes drawing within one point of tying, but in the second the St. Peter lads steadily drew away from the losers to clinch the contest. ST. THOMAS 43, MACALESTER 28 Smarting under a recent defeat by Macalester, the St. Thomas sharp- shooters displayed great form to defeat the Mac men, 43-28 in a return match at the Cadet Armory. Mac played the winners on almost even terms during the first half but in the second stanza Baumgartner, Bauerly and Antil broke away repeatedly to drop the pill through the rim almost at will. Captain Baumgartner completed his college career with three goals in the last two minutes while Antil popped in five after scrimmages under the net. Bauerly led the scoring with fourteeen markers.

ST. THOMAS 5, FORT SNELLING 1 The St. Thomas pucksters opened the ice season with a 5-1 win over the Fort Snelling soldiers at the Fort Rink. The play was about even in the first period. The Fort took the lead when Johnson, Army wing, sent a fast shot by Hardy, Tommie net guardian. Wcssell of the Purple and Grays led the attack in the next stanza, scoring three goals. He and Ryan each got one in the final period. Wcssell, Hardy and Ryan starred for the Cadets and Moscatellie, Ander- son, and Johnson for the losers. ST. THOMAS 3, MICHIGAN MINES 5 Bombarding Jouno, St. Thomas goalie, with hard drives from every angle, the Michigan College of Mines slipped five past him, while the Tommies could garner but three markers, in one of the best collegiate puck matches ever played at the Houghton, Michigan, Amphidrome. The first goal came from the stick of Captain Jack Latva of the Miners when after a lone dash he sent a peppy one past the visitor’s goalie. Tesen got another one for the Tech Huskies a few minutes later. In the second period play was more even, each club netting two goals. Nick Kaiser scored for Houghton on a rebound. St. Thomas sprung the best combination play of the game when Captain Tonskemper and Ryan teamed up, the latter bulging the twine. Wcssell, one of the Tommy stars, got another for his team but Latva placed his outfit in a two-point lead again before the period closed. The determined Cooganites came from their dressing room with blood in their eyes to open the final stanza and as the playing became tense, the con- test grew rougher. Hall and Ryan teamed to count for the Saints. Then Coach Coogan sent everyone but his goalie up the pond in a final desperate attempt to even the count but their efforts went for naught. Kilpatrick sewed up the encounter for the Tech men with a nifty corner drive. Jouno, former Copper County net guardian, played a stellar game in the St. Thomas meshes and received the praise of many old-time hockey stars who starred in the days when Houghton held the world’s pro title. ST. THOMAS 4, MARQUETTE OWLS 3 With the Owls leading 3-1, Wcssell, St. Thomas wingman went on a rampage to cage three goals, two on passes from team-mates and one un- assisted, and gave his team a 4-3 win at the Marquette Palestra. Marquette started things with a rush, scoring two before the visitors Ml m i ji?w ' wii• -ifTT 'iwm'V •i,nwI .y-- • -L -.J • • s v H L ffrrrn KAYD£T could get started. Neault counted first on a rebound off Hardy’s pads and after eleven minutes of play Gustafson registered in a solo dash. The Saint goal-guard made seven stops to Marquette’s three in this period. The Cwls continued their fine passing game for the early part of the sandwich stanza, La Coursiere scoring number three. The visitors got their first tally when Reardon sent one between Collier’s skates. Three minutes after the final period began the fun started. Tonskcmper dangled up the silver sheet to drive one at Collier but the latter made the save only to have Wcssell pick up the rebound and send one that raised the goal umpire’s mitt. Ryan did a bit of fancy skating and dribbling, then passed to Wessell to tic the count. Both teams now fell back and played more cautiously. A minute before the bell sounded, Wessell hooked the gutta-percha out of a scrimmage in front of the Owl’s goal and let fly for the winning counter. ST. THOMAS 6, ST. PAUL LUTHER 1 The college hockey team easily defeated the St. Paul Luther outfit on the latter’s rink, 6-1. Captain Tonskcmper, Ryan, Wcssell, and Birk repeatedly carried the puck into Luther territory. Luther scored first in the first stanza but the Tommies tied the count just before the period ended. In the middle period the visitors scored four goals. The Lutherans came back strong in the final fifteen minutes but could not penetrate the Purple and Gray defense while St. Thomas added two more. ST. THOMAS 1, MICHIGAN MINES 3 Staging a last minute rally, the Michigan Tech Miners puck chasers won from St. Thomas 3-1 at the Fort Snclling rink. The Michiganers got a one-point lead in the opening period when Ollila beat Hardy for the first goal. They maintained this advantage until fifteen minutes of the last period had elapsed. At this time, Dick Ryan pulled the sole dash and beat the Miner goalie to tic the count. A fierce fight followed during which Latva pushed the puck past Jouno twice to gain a good lead. Jack Hardy played a strong game guarding the twines but was injured in the third period. Jouno, veteran of four years, replaced him and also played a stellar game. The visitors presented an almost impregnable defense during the first two periods, but had difficulty in checking the Tommies in the last. ST. THOMAS 4, ST. PAUL LUTHER 0 St. Thomas defeated Luther 4-0 in the first game of the state tourna- ment. The contest was full of action. The Tommies scored their first counter in the first period when Wessell shoved the rubber by the vigilant Luther goalie. The Lutherans on rushes m H by the forward line often penetrated St. Thomas territory but the task of beating Jouno, who guarded the nets was too much and they were held scoreless. Franny Hall was the big noise for St. Thomas. He scored three goals for his team and played almost the entire battle. Both goalies made brilliant stops. ST. THOMAS 0, ST. MARY’S 2 St. Mary’s won from St. Thomas in the finals of the state puck play-offs 2-0 thereby winning the conference title. The Tommies showed unexpected good form on defense and it was not until the final eight minutes of play that the winners were able to score. St. Mary’s was the aggressor throughout but their rushes were stopped by the sterling work of Gallagher and Reardon on defense and Jouno in goal. The Prelesnick brothers and the Eldredge twins bombarded Jouno in the first two sessions but he turned all of their shots aside. Finally, in the last frame, Tony Prelesnick scored two unassisted goals. On both he had but the goalie to beat. The Tommies fought gamely in the last few minutes and buzzed around the Rcdmcn’s goal. The contest was exceptionally rough with fifteen penalties. ST. THOMAS 5, FORT SNELLING 2 Scoring three goals in the final period after the count had been dead- locked, St. Thomas defeated the Fort Snelling sextet 5-2 at the Fort Riding Hall. Birk and Hall stood out for the losers while Moscatellie, Haffen, and Anderson were best for the Soldiers. ST. THOMAS 8, MACALESTER 0 St. Thomas overwhelmed Macalestcr in a one-sided tilt on Cadet rink, 8-0. Wessell led the Tommy attack with four goals. Ryan got two and Gal- lagher and Movern each counted once. Play was clean, but two penalties were handed out. ST. THOMAS 0, ST. MARY’S 1 The traditional rivals St. Mary’s and St. Thomas fought it out in the fastest hockey battle ever played on Winona ice. The Redmen won 1-0 on Lahti’s goal in the second period. Lahti’s goal came after a rebound. Eldredge took a long drive at Jouno who made the stop but Lahti grabbed the rebound and scored. The game reached its climax in the final stanza when several players tangled at close quarters and the result was almost a free-for-all with half of the spectators on ice ready to join the melee. Referee Penas brought conditions back to normal and Tony Prelesnick took the gutta-percha down the pond with Lahti at his side. He skated through ; 3 —•sss %F5 . KAYDET Til [MSN 5J all of the Tommy team, and then passed to Lahti in front of the goal but Jouno made a hard stop which robbed the Redmen of a sensational goal. The Cadets put up the toughest opposition that the Winonans had on St. Mary’s ice during the entire season. Still St. Mary’s outplayed their rivals, Jouno at goal making thirty-six stops for the Tommies allowing only the one to get by him. Some of his stops were nothing short of remarkable. Gallagher also played a nifty game for the losers. ST. THOMAS 1, ST. MARY’S 3 The second game in two days between St. Mary’s and St. Thomas was won by St. Mary’s 3-1. The contest was not nearly as thrilling as the battle the day before but provided brilliant hockey nevertheless. Both teams were somewhat tired from their gruelling battle of the day- before and consequently the play was not as fast. The double brothers combination was the main factor in the Red’s victory. The Eldrcdgc twins teamed up and although Jouno made the stop, Charles Eldredge skated in fast to get the rebound for a goal. The Tommies tied it up when Hall took a long shot. Baird made the stop but a scrimmage followed in front of the goal and Baird hooked the puck out and then drove for a counter. Tony Prelesnick passed to his brother Louis in front of the Tommy net and the latter scored. The third St. Mary’s goal was a fluke. Tony Prelesnick skated almost behind the Tommy goal, then shot out. The puck glanced off the corner of the goal, hit Goalie Jouno’s skate and eased into the net. f- kay det ggjgiioi ZMu MZ -M College Baseball 1928 Eugene Taucr Guido De Petro Randolph Jouno Coach Captain Manager RECORD St. Thomas 3 St. Paul Luther 5 St. Thomas 6 Hamline 3 St. Thomas 7 Hamline 6 St. Thomas 14 Macalester 6 St. Thomas 27 Macalester 7 St. Thomas 4 Concordia J.

Luther scored again in the third and fifth. The Tommies made three runs in the sixth when Player-Coach Taucr drove out a homer scoring Flannagan and Dufort before him. Taucr, Dufort and Tracy with two hits apiece were the best Cadet stickmen. Stans pitched great ball allowing but five hits and fanning fifteen. ST. THOMAS 6, HAMLINE 3 Behind the steady pitching of Eddie Colliton the St. Thomas baseballers defeated Hamline at Hamline, 6-3. The Cadets scored three runs in the first three innings. Three more counters came in the fourth when Tracy hit a two-bagger with Hamm and Taucr on bases, scoring later when Hall threw Jouno’s grounder past first.

ST. THOMAS 7, HAMLINE 6 Hamline made it tougher for St. Thomas in the second game between these two clubs and the Cadets barely squeezed through a 7-6 victory on Norton field. Blee, Tommie twirler, was effective in the pinches while the Piper throwers were hit freely throughout. The Toms got to the Hamline pitcher in the first inning, scoring four runs on a barrage of knocks. They were then held in check until the fourth when De Petro cracked a two-base hit to right with men on second and third. Flannagan then singled scoring De Petro and sending the Piper hurler to the showers. In the third Hamline got two walks, a wild pitch and two hits to count four runs for their big inning, but the lead was too much to overcome. Catcher Jouno, of St. Thomas, was injured by his own foul tip in the first inning and had to retire from the game. Tracy and Colliton succeeded him behind the plate, Joe Hahn had a good day at bat and in the field for the Cadets. ST. THOMAS 14, MACALESTER 6 Macalestcr suffered its first defeat of the season when St. Thomas jour- neyed to Shaw field and won 14-6. The Tommies went on a scoring spree in the third to count nine times before the side could be retired by the faltering Macs who made a number of errors in this inning. Hamm and Hahn were the hitting luminaries for the Cadets with four and three hits, respectively. Only one Mac got more than one hit. Taucr held the Presbyterian college to seven hits and got a homer and single himself. One of Hahn’s blows was also a homer. ST. THOMAS 27, Macalester 7 Hitting at opportune moments and taking advantage of Mac errors, Sr. Thomas again smothered the Macalester nine for the second time in two days. The score was 27-7. A big parade of Cadet bats led by Hamm, Tauer, De Petro and Tracy battered the offerings of three Mac pitchers for 27 hits. Hamm and Tauer each got two Homers. Ed. Colliton held the Snclling school batters in check after his mates established a safe lead in the first inning. Mac connected for safe blows but five times. ST. THOMAS 4, CONCORDIA 5 The Concordia Junior College team behind the steady pitching of Lefty Sicbcrt defeated St. Thomas 5-4 on the former’s field. It was a pitchers battle from the first. Siebert allowed seven hits and fanned eight while Stans allowed seven blows and struck-out eleven. Con- cordia won by bunching their hits. College Tennis 1928 A. P.

K ay OE-T I Pi II Iiv-j IK ;fr ■ The Department of Speech and Drama Fenton B. Spence, Director With the opening of school last fall the St. Thomas dramatic department was reorganized and since has attained a position in extra-curricular activities that is unprecedented in St. Thomas dramatic history. Much of the success of this year’s stage productions have been due to the untiring efforts of Fenton B. Spence, who was appointed head of the Depart- ment of Speech and Drama in September. An extensive program of dramatic presentations was immediately planned by Mr. Spence and was carried out in such a manner as to warrant a prediction of many more successful seasons of histrionic accomplishments at St. Thomas. The Players Club, one of the oldest student organizations on the campus, although not in charge of play production was an important factor in the dramatic department’s presentations. As a subsidiary organization to the Players, the Kampus Knights was organized by Mr. Spence. This group’s personnel comprised freshman students who, although taking part in dramatic activities, were not eligible for membership in the Players because of their academic status. Sittin’ Pretty”,, a four act comedy of domestic life, was the initial pro- duction of the Department of Speech and Drama. It was presented to large audiences on the evenings of November 22nd and 23rd, 1928. The cast: Alfred Hastings..............................................Daniel S.

The Fool”, though at first considered somewhat heavy” for a successful amateur production, proved to be even more successful than Sittin’ Pretty”. Capacity audiences received both presentations of The Fool” and a third presentation was planned but due to other productions on the dramatic pro- gram it was deemed advisable to forego any further performances. Headed by Miss Mary Hart, who has had some professional experience, the girls from St. Kate’s” were unquestionably one of the important factors in the success of The Fool”. First honors for performance in The Fool” went to Miss Hart enacting the leading feminine role of Claire Jewett” and Edward V. Shields, who played opposite Mary” as Daniel Gilchrist”. John M. Gran as the dissolute Jerry Goodkind” and Grace Holmes as Mary Mar- garet” were the other outstanding characterizations.

Cyril Sheehan was general manager of the production and was assisted by Joseph Burke. Everyman” the old English morality play was presented by the Depart- ment of Speech and Drama in the college auditorium the afternoon and evening of Palm Sunday. This allegory was produced by Mr. Spence in accordance with his arranged year’s program which called for a religious play to be presented during the Lenten season.

Forensic Activities at St. Thomas in 1928-9 The forensic activities at St. Thomas in 1928-9 included participation in intercollegiate debate, oratory and extemporaneous speaking, besides the furnishing of many programs for clubs and societies in the Twin Cities and in the state at large. Twenty-eight intercollegiate debates were scheduled for 1928-9 of which 15 were decision affairs and 14 no-decision meetings. Of the decision debates 12 were won. In oratory we did not place in the Old-line” contest but won the State Peace Contest, Daniel Lane being our representative, and in the National Oratorical Contest on the Constitution Eugene McElmeel won the inter-state and ranked second in the regional. In the latter ten state champion orators from as many states offered stiff opposition but we came within one of the top. In extemporaneous speaking Daniel Lane tied for second position in the Pi Kappa Delta Provincial Contest in one of the best contests of its kind ever held by the Upper Mississippi Province. Three debating teams were selected in the preliminaries held last fall. Two of these teams were designated first” teams, the third the junior team. The former carried the main intercollegiate schedule. The affirmative group was made up of Daniel F. McLaughlin, John McCarthy and John G. Freeman. The negative team was composed of Daniel Lane, Carmi Lawrence and Anthony Stefano. Each team won six and lost one debate; a mixed team lost a hastily prepared debate in which two of the speakers were required to change sides with but one day to prepare. Besides defeating Hamline, St. Olaf and Gustavus Adolphus in the State Conference debates the teams won against such strong aggregations as Occidental College, Los Angeles, Marquette University, Milwaukee, Ripon College and Coe College. Debates and discussions were held before a number of clubs and organiza- tions in the cities and in a number of communities outside, including Stillwater High School, Faribault Catholic Club, St. Paul Office Mens’ Club, Minne- apolis Saturday Lunch Club, Hennepin County Democratic Club, Stillwater Elks’ Club, and others. In some of these programs the debaters were assisted by Prof. Fenton B. Spence in dramatic and humorous readings. One of the most interesting features of the year’s activities was the radio debate between St. Thomas represented by Daniel Lane and Carmi Lawrence and the Chicago-Kcnt College of Law debating team over Station WMAQ, Chicago. The St. Thomas debaters made the trip to Chicago via the airplane route operated by Northwest Airways. Eugene McElmeel traveled by air to Kansas City also, to take part in the Regional Oratorical Contest. 2351 wj S S£ Frctl Rev: Left to Right: Daniel Line,, Profeitor O. P. MeEhncel, Daniel McLaughlin.

ST. THOMAS 26, CRETIN 0 Scoring in every quarter, the Academites had little trouble drubbing the Cretin Highs, 26-0, on the latter’s field. St. Thomas used practically its entire squad to give every man a chance. ST. THOMAS 0, COLLEGE FROSH $ The St. Thomas College Freshmen eleven took the measure of the Academy, 8-0. The Frosh took advantage of the first break in the game in the third quarter when on an attempted punt the Acad kicker fumbled a bad pass from center and fell on the ball behind his goal line for safety. Late in the final period a Frosh lineman picked up another fumble and crossed the goal line for the only touchdown of the game. ST. THOMAS 0, SHATTUCK 18 Shattuck played a hard game to down the Junior Cadets, 18-0. Except for a break in the first quarter the first half found the teams fighting on even terms. In the initial period Tricker caught a twenty-yard pass from Dousman and ran twenty yards for a marker. Twice in the first half the Cadets pre- sented a stonewall defense when in the shadow of their own goal. 1 _ ACADEMY FOOTBALL TEAM VA KlliST HOW: IWi la llldil: WcliMMwIn.I. l eterion. K� Ker.

Dousman, Shad halfback, performed yeoman service in the third period and enabled the Faribault team to push over two more markers. Lund, Schaack, and Kaiser played good games in the line, while Gallivan and O’Neill starred in the backfield. ST. THOMAS 18, DE LA SALLE 6 The St. Thomas Academy football eleven kept its seasons’ record clean and also their record of never having lost a gridiron contest to the De La Salle gridders when they defeated the Islanders in a hard fought contest on the Cadet field by the score of 18 to 6. The Cadets were the first to score when late in the first quarter they rushed the ball down to the ten yard line only to lose it on downs. The Islanders were forced to punt and Lund rushed through to block the kick. Vallely coming in from the other end, fell on the ball for the touchdown. Gallivan then booted the ball between the uprights for the extra point. The count was evened in the second period when Klingberg, Island tackle, crashed through the line to block Pat Montague’s attempted punt and fell on it on the Cadet ten yard line. After a try at the line Sampson tossed a pass over the line to Ruane for the touchdown. On a false kick formation Sampson passed the oval to Sammon for the extra point. With 45 seconds left to play an Islander pass was intercepted and carried to the 10 yard line but time was up before the ball could be put into play. The second half started out fast and the play sec-sawed back and forth for the first five minutes. The Cadets had failed to crack the De La Salle forward wall and Gallivan again resorted to passes. After two tosses had been knocked down O’Neill completed a throw to Vallely who scampered over the goal line for the Academy’s winning touchdown. The try for extra point failed. Early in the final period the Cadets again worked the ball down near the Islander’s goal line. A pass over the goal line was incomplete and it was De La Salle’s ball on the twenty yard line. Sampson’s kick was short and the Purple and Gray lads again crossed their opponents goal with a pass from Gallivan to O’Malley. The Purple and Gold eleven opened up with a barrage of passes in the final minutes of play and worked the ball down to the Cadet ten yard line where three passes in succession were incomplete. The final whistle blew with the ball in midfield. Savage, Vallely, Gallivan, Lund and Captain Schaack played stellar ball for the Cadets. O’Neill did some fine defensive work behind the line, Ruane, Sammon, Sampson, Gray and Klingberg starred for the Islanders. ST. THOMAS 0, PILLSBURY 0 Our Academy football team played a scoreless tie with the Pillsbury Academy team of Owatonna in the feature event of an Armistice Day pro- gram in that town. a Pi §p I iNi ha :f 3| •Hr The game opened with Pillsbury kicking-off to St. Thomas, Pickett receiving on the 25 yard line and returning it eight yards. On the first play Savage went through center for six yards and Pickett made it first down on an off-tackle smash. On the next three downs Pillsbury’s line held and the Cadets were forced to kick. The oval sailed far into Pillsbury territory and Cotton was forced to kick. On some beautiful end runs by Crampton and Pickett and plunges by Savage, the ball was placed on Pillsbury’s 10 yard line. A pass, Montague to Peterson, over the goal line was complete, but the play was called back and St. Thomas penalized five yards for off-side. The Tommies were held for the remainder of the downs and the Owatonna boys kicked out of danger. Our Cadets were intent upon scoring, making three first downs in a row to put the ball on the Pillsbury 30 yard line. Again the Tommies were pen- alized, this time for 15 yards and then lost the oval on downs. The half ended with the ball in Pillsbury’s possession in mid-field. The second half was a repetition of the first. St. Thomas would work the ball within scoring distance of their opponents’ goal, but then their scoring power faded. Passes from Gallivan to Pickett, Hobot, and O’Neill gained yard after yard, and plunges by Coleman and Pickett made many a first down, but Pillsbury would always gather enough strength to stop the attack of the visitors when they were within their own 10 yard line. Pillsbury’s attack was completely stopped. The strong St. Thomas eleven held them in check during the entire game. Lund, Kaiser, Pexa, Schaack, and Peterson several times broke through to pile up the Pillsbury ball carriers. They tried a few passes, but the Cadet defense was too strong. In the last quarter, the Owatonna team had an opportunity to win the game. On an end run, O’Neill fumbled and the ball was recovered by Cotton who had three men as interference and a clear field in front of him, but Eddie Pickett, who had been playing a consistent game, came up from behind and broke through the interference to nail the man on the St. Thomas 15 yard line. The Tommie line held and the ball was kicked to mid-field. As the game ended the Cadets were making their final drive for a touchdown. ST. THOMAS 6, ST. JOHN’S 18 The defeat handed the Academy eleven by the Johnnies of Collcgcvillc was somewhat unexpected but decisive enough to leave no doubt in the minds of the Cadet followers that it was legitimate. The score was 18-6. For three quarters of the game the Johnnies outplayed the Cadet eleven and rang up an 18 to 0 lead that was impossible to overcome. Before the tilt was five minutes old the alert Red and Blue defense took advantage of a Cadet pass to score the first touchdown of the game. The Collcgcvillc men had fumbled the ball which was recovered by a St. Thomas man. On the next play a Cadet pass was intercepted by Mahowald who raced 90 yards for the touchdown. The consistent line plunging of Klingsporn and Ossendorf in the third quarter brought the ball down to the Cadet three yard line where Ossendorf plunged across for the second touchdown. Klingsporn opened up the fourth quarter impressively when he intercepted a Purple and Gray pass on the Tommies’ thirty-five yard line and outraced three men for the third and final point for the Johnnies. Klingsporn failed three times to make good his try for the extra point. The Tommies finally got going towards the end of the final period. A Johnny punt was rather short and was run back twenty yards to put the ball on the twenty yard line. Gallivan and Montague began to hit the line hard and together with a few short passes brought the ball to the three yard line where St. John’s held for three downs. Gallivan on the last play slipped through a hole at right tackle to score. The place-kick was missed. ST. THOMAS 18, ST. CLOUD CATHEDRAL 6 The St. Thomas Academy football team concluded a successful season with an impressive win over the heavy St. Cloud Cathedral eleven. The score was 18-6. Two long runs by O’Neill and Pickett for touchdowns gave the Academy- lads the margin of victory after Murray scored on a pass from Montague. The heavy St. Cloud team started out fast in the opening quarter and took the Cadets off their feet with its aerial attack. They could gain nothing through the line. A long pass from Rousch to Himsell put the ball on the Cadet three yard line as the quarter ended. The Cathedralites received a fiv yard penalty on the first play of the second quarter but on the next play Shaffer circled left end to score. The try for point was blocked. The Cadets kicked off, but received the ball a few minutes later on an exchange of punts. End runs by Crampton and Hobot put the ball on the fifteen yard line, from where Montague threw a pass to Murray who caught it on the one yard line and stepped across for a touchdown. Montague’s kick was wide. St. Thomas kicked off at the beginning of the second half and the Cathedralites attempted to crack the line, but with little success. A fifteen yard penalty set them back to their goal line. Smuda got off a good boot to Pickett who caught it on the run and raced down the sidelines for a touch- down by means of some clever side-stepping and some good interference. Pat Montague’s drop kick went squarely between the uprights. Several passes were attempted by both sides in the remaining few minutes of the period. Montague intercepted one from Koshiol and the Cadets threatened again. A pass from Savage, however, was intercepted by Koshiol. The Cadets were forced back to their 20 yard line in the fourth quarter where they held for downs. Joe O’Neill was rushed into the game and on the next play took the ball to the one yard line on a brilliant 80 yard run. Savage went over for the touchdown and Gallivan’s kick was blocked. St. Cloud opened up with a barrage of passes in the final minutes but could only work the oval down to the 25 yard line. The game ended with the ball on the fifty yard marker.

Father Gibbs was well pleased with the showing that his team made against the Rock Spring team. Captain McCarter, Savage, and Maddock scored two end goals apiece to lead the scoring, while King of the Independents was the opponents’ best scorer. ST. THOMAS 15, ST. PAUL CENTRAL 12 The St. Thomas Academy basketcers won a close game from the St. Paul Central cagers by the score of 15 to 12. The low score was not due to good guarding but to poor shooting. Cagers on both teams were wild on long shots besides missing many chances from under the basket. The Academy men got off to a slow start and were held to 2 points in the first quarter. McCarter, Maddocck and Montague teamed together well in the second half to enable the Cadets to come through with a win. -v «I I M IS :1KS m M life; Xll fe i jH v. KAY DT T McCarter, Maddock, Gallivan, Pexa, Savage and Montague played the best games for the Purple and Gray while Mielke, Bakula and Johnson starred for the Central five. ST. THOMAS 10, DE LA SALLE 42 The De La Salle team played a great game of basketball to defeat the Academy five 42 to 10. Sammon and Farrell teamed together to give their team a commanding lead during the first half 22 to 5. They continued their good work in the second half and almost duplicated the score of the first period, holding the Tommies to another five points. The Tommies defeat cannot be attributed to their weakness. The Islanders have one of the greatest prep quints ever turned out in the Northwest. ST. THOMAS 25, MARSHALL 13 The Cadet Preps defeated the Marshall high five on the Cadet Armory floor 25-13. Tired from the effects of their game with Mechanic Arts Tuesday, the Tommies played a ragged game. However, the Minneapolis boys seemed to be in the same predicament and were easy victims to the Cadets’ attack. Gallivan and Farrell teamed together well in the first half to tally nine points, while their mates were holding Marshall to three field goals and the St. Thomas five led at the half, 10-6. Gallivan tossed in four goals from the floor in the second period, and with two additional baskets by Savage, the Cadets played throughout the half with a comfortable lead. Pcxa and McCarter also starred for the Tommies, while O’Hara and Anderson were easily the outstanding cagers for the Mill City team. ST. THOMAS 31, MECHANIC ARTS 18 Our Academy basketball team continued its vigorous campaign by de- feating Mechanic Arts, 31-18, on the latter’s floor. The brand of ball dis- played was much different than in the tussle with De La Salle when the Cadets lost, 42-10. In the Mechanics game both teams played on fairly even terms through- out the contest. Gallivan of the Cadets and Delmont of the downtown school each keeping his team in the running with his shooting eye. The half ended with St. Thomas on the long end of a 16-10 count. Gallivan and Savage continued the good work in the second half, piling up 15 points to smother their opponents. The former was high point man with 14 points. Delmont was the Mechanics star. ST. THOMAS 20, ST. PAUL CENTRAL 11 Ed. Maddock stepped into the limelight when Father Gibbs’ Academy floor team gave the St. Paul Central five its second defeat of the year, 20-11. The regular Cadet pivot took high-point honors in the close guarding I ' 5 N lf{3 i i KAY DET wjsesp tilt with three field goals and a free throw, one better than Captain McCarter who caged one from the floor and four from the free throw line. The first half saw both quints battling on even terms until the last few minutes when the Tommies jumped into the lead. It was 12-8 at the half. The Cadets held the Lexington Avenue boys to three points in the second period while Maddock, McCarter and their mates were ringing up eight. ST. THOMAS 16, CRETIN 6 The St. Thomas Academy basketball team took an easy victory from the Cretin quint in the Armory, 16 to 6. The Tommies held their opponents without a field goal. ST. THOMAS 24, SHATTUCK 25 The Shattuck Academy cagers staged an impressive second half rally to defeat the St. Thomas Cadets, 25-24, at Faribault. The Tommies breezed through the first half with little difficulty, ringing up 14 points as compared to the Shads five. The Faribault quint found new form in the second period and soon tied the score. The contest turned into a frenzy, and the regular playing time found the quints tied at 24-all. A free throw won the game for the Shads in the overtime period. ST. THOMAS 17, ST. JOHN’S 15 The St. Thomas Academy basketball team continued its vigorous back- board campaign with a win over St. John’s high school quint by a 17-15 count. Taking the lead a few moments after the start of play, the Purple and Gray basketeers managed to keep a slight advantage during most of the game. The Cadets kept the Johnnies on the defensive during the first half and kept the Red and Blue scoring aces, Klingsporn and Donaldson, from ringing up too many points. The last quarter found the Johnnies keeping pace with the fast stepping Tommies and the score was soon tied. For several minutes the count remained knotted at 15 all with both teams making valient efforts to score. With two minutes left to play Pexa got hold of the ball in mid-court and made a long shot good for the margin of victory. Pexa took the scoring honors for the Tommies with one field goal and four free throws. Farrell was next with five points and Tommy Gallivan chalked up four points from the free throw line. Klingsporn was the main threat for the Johnnies with four goals from the floor and two from the free throw line for a total of ten points. The lanky Donaldson was held to one point. ST. THOMAS 18, MECHANIC ARTS 17 A rally in the last few minutes of play gave St. Thomas Academy an 18 to 17 victory over the Mechanic Arts team of St. Paul in the Armory. It was the second victory in two days for the Cadets, both of which were pulled out of the fire when they were facing defeat. : la II WM WA ST. THOMAS 22, ST. CLOUD CATHEDRAL 19 Th; St. Thomas Academy Basketball team went into second place in the Northwest Catholic league by defeating St. Cloud Cathedral by 22 to 19 on the Cadet floor. The first half found the Tommies doing most of the scoring. Maddock and Farrell, the Cadets’ stellar forwards, piled up enough points to give their team a 19-4 advantage by intermission time. Close guarding by Captain McCarter and Pexa helped to keep down the Cathcdralitcs during this period. St. Cloud opened with a bang in the second half. They were intent upon winning this game. Baucrly, Shacfcr, and Larson time and again broke through the Tommy defense to hit the net. Many of these attempts found their mark and it was not until the final gun was sounded that the Cadets found themselves at the long end of the 22-19 count. Close guarding by St. Thomas in the first half and by St. Cloud in the second was the feature of the tilt. Farrell of the Tommies was high point man while Tully and Blossom of St. Cloud played well for the Cathedral team. ST. THOMAS 20, DE LA SALLE 30 The St. Thomas Academy basketball quint dropped a close game to the fast stepping De La Salle five of Minneapolis, for the third conference loss of the season and the second at the hands of the undefeated Islander team. The score was 30-20. The defeat shoved the Cadets into a tie for second place in the Parochial League with St. Cloud Cathedral. It was the final game of the season for both teams. The Cadets displayed an improved form of basketball over that in their first meeting with the Islanders earlier in the year. Their defense was stronger and the offense found little difficulty in adjusting itself to the small floor. The game might have resulted a little differently if Pexa, stellar Tommy guard, had not been forced to retire from the tilt when Sammon poked a finger into his eye in a scrimmage along the sidelines. During the first period both quints played cautious ball. What few points were accounted for were mostly made from the free throw line. In the second quarter Johnny Sammon ran wild to count three field goals and a free throw to give the Islanders a commanding lead at half time. Early in the third period Ruane was sent from the game after committing his fourth personal foul. Farrell, Maddock, and Gallivan teamed together nicely to raise the Cadet count and seriously threaten the De La Salle lead. Pat Montague, former St. Thomas forward, broke away three times, however, to count from underneath the basket and place the Islander crew out of danger. Farrell was high point man for the Cadets with eight points as the result of two field goals and four points made from the foul line. Gallivan and Maddock both accounted for four points. McCarter and Guiliana played good defensive games for St. Thomas. I k KAY T rnssRi sS ST. THOMAS 27, SHATTUCK 18 The Academy cagers had little difficulty in defeating the Shattuck basketeers in a return game between the two quints on the Armory floor. The Cadets took the offensive from the opening whistle and were never in danger of losing. With a lead of 14-0 at half time Father Gibbs sent in several substitutes who managed to hold the lead to some extent. The Shads came to life in the final minutes to run up a total of 18 points. The final score was 27-18. In the first two periods of the game the Academy lads completely out- played their larger and heavier opponents. The Purple and Gray clad team broke down the floor fast and displayed a fast and accurate passing attack which completely bewildered the Shad's defense. Pexa and Savage didn’t give the Red forwards a chance to get near the basket for short shots and as a result the Faribault team was forced to shoot from far out on the court with no success what-so-ever. Farrell, Maddock, Gallivan, and Pexa scored often in the-first two periods with short shots from underneath the net which the Shads could not stop. In the second half Tommy Gallivan found the basket for three field goals and a free throw to further increase the Tommy lead. With the injection of the Cadet substitutes into the game the Shads had an easier time in penetrating the Tommy defense and made several of their shots count. Volckman and Stockwell accounted for ten points between them to raise the score for the Red team. Gallivan led the scoring for the Tommies with five field goals and a free throw for a total of eleven points. He was followed by Farrell who accounted for eight points from the field. Volckman led the Shattuck scores with six points while Stockwell ac- counted for four. Northwest Parochial High School Basketball Tournament The Seventh Annual Northwest Parochial Basketball Tournament was brought to a successful close when the final games were played, trophies award- ed and the All-Star team named. Though only ten teams were entered in the 1929 meet it was undoubtedly one of the most sucessful ever staged by the College of St. Thomas. Attendance was large throughout the meet with crowds and teams being handled in a very efficient manner. The Archbishop Dowling trophy was awarded to St. Cloud Cathedral for the second consecutive year by virtue of the fact that the Granite City quint came through in fine style to win the final game from St. Augustine of Austin by the overwhelming score of 37-16. The Cathedral team was also awarded a permanent trophy in recognition of the victory. Second place was won by St. Augustine, the surprise team of the meet. I N e 1 i i tO; i McDonell Memorial of Chippewa Falls, Wis., competing in the tourney for the first time romped off with third prize when they downed the favored Academy cagers in an over-time game. Duluth Cathedral won the dubious honors of being the hard luck team of the tournament, when they succumbed to a last minute drive by the St. John’s quint of Collegeville and were forced to take second place in the con- solation round. The victory over Duluth was the third in two days for the Johnnies, they having been forced to down both Sleepy Eye and Cretin on Saturday to enter the consolation finals. The W. W. Clark Sportsmanship trophy was awarded to the fast little band of fighters from Cretin of St. Paul who displayed enough of the above virtue, sportsmanship, to warrant the award. Gold and silver basketball charms were presented to the individual mem- bers of the first and second place teams respectively. Five gold medals were awarded to the players selected by the College basketball team for All-State honors. The forward posts were given to Bauerly of St. Cloud and Bell of St. Augustine. The first named was easily the out- standing man of the meet. It was the scoring ability of Bauerly that enabled the champions to come through for the second time in two years. Bell of St. Augustine played center for his team but it is hard to keep him off. He was the mainstay of the Austin club in all games and had everything to do with the excellent game played by the second place winners during the first two periods of the championship tilt. The center post was a difficult one to fill. Blossingham of St. Cloud was a good scorer but was not capable of playing a good floor game. Donaldson of St. Johns had great difficulty in handling the ball this year. He appeared nervous in all games and could not be depended upon as last year. Walsh of Duluth gets the honor for his all around ability and the excellent playing he did during the tourney. There were an abundance of good guards but the varsity men decided that Pexa of the St. Thomas and Smuda of St. Cloud Cathedral were the best of the lot. Other good guards were McCarter of St. Thomas, Cane of Cretin, Licktig of St. Augustine, Virant of Duluth Cathedral, Gibbons of Cretin, Thelen of St. Johns and Schaefer of St. Cloud. Twin Cities Catholic Grade School Tournament St. John’s parish school won the 1929 Twin Cities Catholic Grade school basketball title by defeating St. Philip’s of Minneapolis 12-11 in the finals of the annual tournament sponsored by St. Thomas College. The new champions are the first to bring the title to St. Paul, as two Minneapolis quints have copped the flag in the previous years of the meet— Ascension and St. Hedwig. St. Mark’s, our neighbor, took third place by beating Basilica in a pre- liminary to the final contest by a 17-15 count. I'HT] - KAY.DBT ■ Following these tilts Father Gibbs presented the Johnnies with a beau- tiful silver trophy depicting a basketball player in a tense moment of action and emblematic of Champions.” St. Philip’s was given the runnerup trophy and St. Mark’s the third place award. Basilica was tendered a silver cup for taking fourth place. Sunday’s games culminated five days of play during which 15 of the 17 teams which started were eliminated in the title race. Annunciation and Notre Dame of Minneapolis started with the latter winning on Tuesday. This was a preliminary necessitated by Annunciation’s late entry. Six St. Paul teams swung into action Wednesday and 10 Mill City quints furnished the com- petition on Thursday. Friday’s round narrowed the competition down to four teams which met in the semi-finals Saturday afternoon. In this elimination St. John’s defeated St. Mark’s and St. Philip’s routed Basilica. The finalists fought an uphill battle all the way, neither qu'n: holding more than a two-point lead at any time except in the first minute when St. Philip’s started auspiciously with a field goal and a free throw. The Johnnies then went into the lead with five points but the Mill Citians tied it up. St. Philip led at the half, 8-7. Close guarding and erratic shooting marked the third quarter which saw McFaddcn tying the count for the Bluff five with a free throw. Kelly put St. John’s in the lead with a goal after Wanzel had sunk a gift shot for the losers. Kubinski finaled in a free shot but Gavlick pushed in the rebound to put St. Philip’s in the lead again, 11-10. Realizing that time was quickly fading and that a single basket meant victory or defeat, the quints battled furiously in the last five minutes. The scoring was climaxed and the game was won a minute before the final gun when Ryan, star St. John’s guard, caged the ball on a follow shot. The contest ended as the cagcrs were battling the ball under St. Philip’s basket. The clash for third place was featured by a second half rally by Basilica which nearly tumbled St. Mark’s after the latter had held a 12-6 lead at the intermission, and a 16 to 6 advantage at the end of the third quarter. Ap- parently content that this lead was sufficient, Stover, St. Mark’s star guard and best point maker, was given a rest which weakened the Markians’ defense to the extent of three baskets for Basilica. Roddy and Penn continued to lead the Mill Citians’ attack but they were not equal to the task of getting by Stover who had been rushed back into the game.

Second Row: Left to Right: Johnson, Bcrthinumc, McPartlin. (Not in picture: Hamm, Cooley) The Gashouse Tigers Club is an organization made up for the most part of college lettermen. The three principal aims of the club arc: 1. to boost college athletics; 2. to imbue within the freshmen and new men the true St. Thomas spirit of loyalty to the college, and 3, to encourage scholarship. To arouse the freshmen to a high pitch of college spirit the Tiger Club oversees the annual Home-coming Eve bonfire in the fall of the year. The new men gather the materials for this occasion. Several times during the year the first year class is gathered together and the principles of college loyalty arc explained to them. Those negligent in this line arc rebuked. The crowning event of the club’s activity is the Tiger Homecoming in March. At this affair the new men furnish the ludicrous entertainment before their friends, classmates, and relatives. The Tiger basketball team plays its final game of the season at this festivity. Proceeds of the event are turned over either to the athletic department or to the library. The members of this season’s team were Andy Hamm, Coach (President of the club exofficio); Ed. Hoy, Captain; Joe Burke, Bill Rellahan, Phil Gearin, Norbert Berthiaumc, Geo. McPartlin, and Clyde Cooley. In addition, the following dignitaries are members of the society: John Freeman, Master of Ceremonies; David Johnson, Rafe Bittner, Leander Stans, Randolph Jouno. Chuck Pavek, Ed. Pcrcival, Daniel Lane, Don Morgan, Stanley Potter, Geo. Wise, Larry Stcinbach, and Willard Carl. nuw tiim «I First Row: Left to Right: McMahon, Birk Barrett, Johnson, Eastman, Burke.

Mullen Samuel Chambers •: 11 I id V Killing THE PURPLE AND GRAY Among the outstanding achievements during the 1928-29 college year was the development of the Purple and Gray, college weekly. This paper, which for the past years was a four and six page publication, took on the proportions of a ten page weekly, and gained the recognition of the National and Minnesota Editorial associations. It marked the first time in the college history that the publication was entered in these two professional fields, and also gained the distinction of being the only college paper of its kind to gain membership in these organ- izations. The paper was edited and published by students under direction of the department of public relations. Its news columns were filled with campus doings. One section was given over to the editorials, one section to literature and another two page section was devoted to sports. In the state contest for professional papers conducted by the Minnesota Editorial association the Purple and Gray won 986 points out of a possible 1000, a record never heretofore attained.
