Forty THE XAVERIA'N NEWS Sophomore Bowling Team Much interest was displayed this past season by the A. B. students in their Bowling Alleys. The alleys were opened early in the month oerovem- ber. Preliminary games were rolled off to ascertain the strength of each team and to determine the handicaps to be given in the inter-class tourney. The arranging of hancli- capps was a clithcult matter, as the efficiency of the teams increased so rapidly that the handicaps was almost at all times an uncertainty. However, the matter was finally ad justed, and it was decided that the-Sophomores should scratch, because of their great superiority over the other teams. This arrangement then left the other three teams handicapped to the extent of 75 per cent tof Sophomores' superiority. Prior to the playing off of the tournament the teams did a great deal of practicing. especially the Freshmen, who Were new to the alleys, and in consequence they made a very good showing. When the gong sounded, the Sophs. true to their old form. sprang into the lead and were never . for one moment running anywhere but first. Their closest contenders were the Freshmen. who caused them quite a little bit of worry. This has been the second season in which the present Sophomores have annexed the trophy. and it has been rumored that they expect to win two more, with which to drink their wine at their graduating banquet. The Sophomores lost a valuable man in Joe King, who was at all times considered the Iron Mauv-of the team. Joe was always cool, giving encouragement to his teammates and: keeiaing the morale keyed to a high pitch. In losing one'nian they foundianother, Thomas Ball. who has proven his ability in more than one instance as a bowler. Others who have contributed their bit to the well-oiled Sophomore machine are Leonard Vohberbrink. Edward Dorr, Warren Rush and Richard Weiskettle. These men also compriSe the team representing Liberal Arts. with the addition of' Herb Lammers, from Freshman. and Harry Moore and' George Vollman, as substitutes, also from F reshman. The last .tourney of the year was helcl several weeks before Easter. This was an individual tourney of sixteen entrants from all classes. Richard Weiskettle was acclaimed champion by his victory over Warren Rush in the finals. Here again Sophomore superiority asserted itself by having? two of her class finish in the money. Bowling then began to lag a little, so the curtain was rung down several days before Easter. It will be raised again sometime in October.

THE XAVERIAN NEWS Thirty-nine ,22 Nine Best Yet The 1922 Baseball squad has been going great guns since the first call of Play up until they finished their last game at Avon Field on F riday. June 2, against Ohio University. The relaying and leveling of the field has been a great help to the team. as it enabled the infielders to gobble up the hot ones with more assuranee. and thus making it easier on all. Xavier started oft with a win over Miami. the first that the Blue and White has been able to show over the Red team in any department since negotiations'have been opened between the two schools. And Xavier. isiproud of that vic- tory. as Miami has always put forth 2; strong team in every branch of athletics. Later on, however. the Oxfordi team tied it up on their own :diamdnd. Another feat that xavier aecomplished was the ivictory over their old rivals, the'Semyinary team. Not since Elmer Conway. '00. pitched Xavier'to a vicotry over the schol- To Our Charles W. Seelbach. whose art illustrations are a fea- ture of the Pictorial, is a member of the I922 Gradu- ating Class of St. Xavier High School. Seelbach, who hails from Louisville, Ky.. has had practical neWspaper ex- perience, having occupied a position as cartoonist and re- porter for a representative paper in his home town. During the past year he was the High School editor of the Xaverian News, and also occupied the post of cartoonist for that publication. His cartoons were a very popular feature of the News. astics has the Blue and White been able to whip them. but this year Noppy turned the trick and repeated Conway's performance. The Xavier infield, with big Bill Bechtold on the initial sack, Iro Hart squatting at'second, Herb Davis at third and Yobe Cushing holding down the space between, worked like a perfectly oiled machine. Mueller, Wurzel- bacher. Spaeth and Marnell cavorted in the outlying pas- tures in supreme fashion. traveling'.far and wide in an effort to capture the elusive pellet. Jawn Noppenbergcr. with Dick Weiskettle and Zing for side partners, did the twirl- ing, while Captain Tom tRedl Hart was on the receiving end. CaptainHart also did some clever delivering. nab- bing many over-anxious runners at the keystone bag. All in all. Joe Meyer had a team he could be proud of, and a team which wound up one of the best seasons that Xavier has yet had in baseball. Art Editor Seelbach holds a unique position with the Pictorial, the responsibility of the Art Department resting on his shoul- ders alone. The majority of annuals have several artists to divide the work between them. In addition to his pic- torial work. he is also editor of the High School Depart- ment of the Pictorial. Seelbach is at present considering an advantagebus offer as cartoonist with a leading Ohio newspaper, but it is to be hoped he will continue his studies at St. Xavier College, and be one of the foremost contributors to the Xauerian N ews next year.
