But the Panthers cling- ing tenaciously to their seven- point lead erected a wall for- midable enough to turn hack their opponents' strongest at- tack. Time out was taken now and then for some players to re- trieve their wind, that for some unknown reason they seemed to lose. Notwithstanding this, how- qiootball VINCENT WILES ever, in the third quarter Flaher- ty caught a pass from the nimble fingers of Murphy who, by the way, is probably one of the best passers Cathedral has ever had. and raced 30 yards for a touch- down, bringing the score to a grand total of 13 points. At the close of the game Padden sent in his second team to carry on the contest. A bystander might, if he had the powers of observa- tion, have noted that Mr. Padden SUPERIOR CENTRAL was wearing a rather beatific smile that those select few who are peace with God seem to have imprinted on their countenances. What gala preparations were made for the final game of the season with Central. The school seemed to be alive with posters bearing the inscription Beat Central, and that thought seemed foremost in the minds of faculty as well as students. Almost daily, rallies were held with the purpose of bringing the students to a higher degree of school spirit, but they were unnecessary, for already the students were keyed to such a tension that the air seemed alive with electricity. The long-awaited day finally came, and what promised to be the largest assemblage that ever grouped together to watch a football game in Superior, made its way toward Gates Field. 1 Some minutes before the game was to start, the entire student tl body of Cathedral made its .way around the fieldin a weird snake- XM t lil l dance. lt was as if an artist had overturned his easel, streaking ' 'nt d landsca we with r bboi s of blue and old as the stu -N l hispai 'e wit' 1 1' A g ,. .' - dents wormed their way over the fresh green turf.

The sharp, brisk autumn air was rent asunder every now and then by a thunderous cheer, which in its intensity must have been clearly audi- ble to jupiter, Saturn and Nlars, hiding behind their flleecy fortresses. The teams had taken the field, and the referee's whistle sent the two teams hurtling at on another, as if shot from a battery of cannons. Fate had decreed to be unkind to the Irish, and through fumbles and intercepted passes, Duluth was able to gain two touch- downs making the score 12-0. Both attempts at extra points had failed, but the twelve points were ' 'ent. The Panthers, try as they might, wer unable to pierce the formi- dable wall opposed to them, and as the deepening shadows stole across the field, Duluth had another victory added to its list. Fitzgerald, Higgins . and Lyons stood out from the rest although everyone per- formed in a very creditable manner. HARVEY MCCARTY KENNETH GORDON suffici The forthcoming game with New Richmond was to be of PAWL considerable interest, the reason for which, was that it was the coach's home town. lt was clearly evident that this was the game which Mr. Padden was most desirous of winning, and the rigid pace through which the team was put, bore mute evidence of this , fact. lt is entirely unnecessary to go through the usual procedure of labeling the day as dawning bright and clear for you, dear reader, are supposed to sense that. But you are not asked to imagine the tension that per vaded the atmosphere, for no one but an eye- witness could become keyed to such a high in- tensity of feeling as was apparent this day. We will not go into detail concerning the game but rather will endeavor to sketch in a rough way the more important and exciting spots of the hard-fought contest.

We were brought back to earth, literally speaking, at the sharp whistle of the referee, sending the teams at one another. lt was a thrilling game to watch while neither team seemed to have the advantage until late in the first quarter when Flaherty blocked a punt and Cathedral recovered the ball on the five-yard line. One or two thrusts at the line gave the Panthers a touchdown and Facette's accurate toe added the extra l THOMAS niooins arena we heard at CHARLES HOUCHARD , Rs -89- 'K X , ilff, l 1 Y li X 'X N

His passing ability was never doubted and he was one of Coach Padden's keymen. it THOMAS HIGGINS l 'l'ommy always displayed his characteristic fight and was an invaluable aid to the Panthers. Playing a guard postion his defense was almost nnpregnable. We are fortunate to have him hack next year. JOHN MCKEAGUE jack, a new man, rounded into championship form near the end of the season, and his height made him very valuable under the basket. GEORGE NEVERS George, cousin of the great Ernie, showed some of the family All-American form this season. Opponents scored very few baskets while George was at the guard post. He was an excellent dribbler, and added to this, had a deadly eye, which made him almost ideal. xx f ,.. F 'If A 1 'K' ' ' ., . , :ng if -V ,, .91- ff' '5, W -Q-f N x Q . , , . ,, .- . ,
