Thirtyefpur THE XAVERIAN NEWS Athletes Make Splendid Class Record The rule of St. Xavier College, requiring those who take part in athletics to have attained an average percent of at leastt75 in every branch of study, is not at all neces- sary for those athletes attending the Law College. Not content with taking the honors on the field, they have set out to take the honors in their respeetive classes. The Cincinnati Post recently published a detailed ar- ticle regarding the class work of Herb Davis, St. X's foot- ball, baseball and basketball star. a student in the Second Year Law Class. Mike Hellenthal, '23, a three letter man, is one of the shining lights of his class. going over the top in all his studies.

Thirty-six THE XAVERIAN NEWS St. Xavieris Heroes JOSEPH MEYERS Athletic Coach With every letter man of the preceding year, the foot- ball squad, under the leadership of Coach Joe Meyer and his able assistant, Yellow Houser, began the most suc- cessful season in the history of St. Xavier College. And in making this statement we might also add that this Xaverian team was better prepared to meet the attack of the enemy than any previous one. We had the best of equipment. the finest playing field in this part of the State. and a coach who, in our own opinion, stands amongst the leaders. both in knowledge of the game and coaching ability: We started this season by taking Morris Harvey'inm camp to the tune of 21-7, and on the following Saturday handed our ancient enemy, Dayton, 3 lemon. while we were gathering two touchdowns and a goal.. These scoresmight havebeen largerybut we were keeping everything under cover for the widely heralded Kentucky i Colonels from Danville, later conquerors of Harvard. We threw a mighty scare into them when we pushed one across in the first 10 minutes, and played them neck and neck until near the end of the third period, when our reserves were exhausted and they slowly beat us down. the game ending 28-6. It was from this game that we gained nation- wide fame, for we crossed the goal line that even the mighty Harvard backs failed to mar with their footprints. Flir- thermore, it was in this game that .our own little star, Herb Davis, showed Alvin Bo McMillan that he was notthe only chicken on thevfootball roost, and gained for himself a place on Walter Eckersalis all-western team. ' Next wevdedicated our new stadium by cleaning itjvup with Rose Poly, 44-0, and a weeklater gathered 28 points. while St. Ignatius found their whole sackful of wild forma- tions null and void when it came to registering poifits. Then came Creighton from Omaha, arid sad to say, we Ibst to them 14-7, but in our hearts we believe we should have had at least a tie score, for the umps called Davy beck after he had: made a beautiful 60-yard run for a touchdown. Saying he was but of bounds by a fraction of an inch. tlfIt sure was a heartbreaker. , The semi-tin'al played with Hanover was easily anneited by ;a 3570 scotc. The grand finale was a hard-fought etm- test with Ohio Northern on a field that resembled a mild- hen camp. The Saints i proved better muddersf eihd came out'on the leng end of a 13in score. The grand and glorious finale was the football banqtlet at the University Club. Here,s hoping that Captain Hejrb Davis, elected 'on that memorable evening, will have the honor of heading an even more snecsesful! elevent'next year.
