Princeton (Jniversitg And the Priest
(Editorial)
The Aquinas Foundation is a religious center provided by the Diocese of Trenton for the approximately four hundred Ciltholic students at Princeton University. Since its erection in 1952, its Director has been the Reverend Hugh Halton, a Dominican Father who holds a Licentiate in' Sacred Theology and Doctorates in Philosophy and Civil Law, the last two degrees from Oxford. Father Halton was appointed by the Bishop of Trenton to take spiritual charge of the Catholic students at Princeton and to speak out in defense of the faith and morals of those committed to his care. This he did, with intelligenceand wit, in his Sunday talks, through lectures by himself or guest speakers, through ads taken out in the undergraduate Daily Princetonion.
Although there is no official connection between the Aquinas Foundation and the authorities at Princeton, the University did grant Father Halton certain academic privfleges and courtesies such as permission to march in academic processions with the faculty, use of the University bulletin for announcements pertaining to the Foundation, the use of University rooms for lectures and guest speakers, Regional High Campaign the listing of the Foundation in the University catalogue.
Withdraws Privileges On September 23, 1957, Princeton University issued, Total- Hits· $1,300,000a statement through its president, Dr. Goheen, declaring:
BIBLE IN EVERY HOME: Officers of the Catholic Bible Society of Dallas, Texas, and Sister Mary Helen, administrator of St. Paul's Hospital, look on as Bishop Thomas K. Gorman of Dallas .. Fort Worth blesses Bibles' to be placed in every room of Diocesan ho&ot pitals and other Catholic institutions.
"The university has withdrawn its recognition of Fr. Halton. The courtesies and privileges which have been extended to him, as they are to all denominational' chaplains; have been terminated. He is no longer entitlt~d to claim he has any official standing in Princeton University:' The statement further said: "Under claims of advancing the pursuit of truth, he has resorted to irresponsible attacks upon'the intellectual integrity of faculty members.... His accusations in the past year have broadened into large, unBUbstantiated charges of malfeasance against the administration of the university.... " The statement also mentioned that "the offending individual has managed to alienate from himself many of the Catholic students and faculty members.•. :'
Dr. Goheen stated that $ince June, 1956, efforts had been made to'reniove Father Halton, and that this present action was decided upon by the :Board of Trustees in June, 1957. N{) instances of Father Halton's "attacks" were given.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Baptized Catholics in Latin America number over 90 'per cent of total populations, despite sometimes, desperate economic and social handicaps, according to Maryknoll Father John J. Considine, director of Maryknoll publications.
Father Considine, addressing' the 30th annual conference of the Catholic Association for International Peace, stressed the
-new organized strength of the Church in Latin America. Commenting on the establishment of the Council of Latin Ainerican Bishops in 1955, Father Considine said; "New strong leadership (for the Church) is promised by,-this move by the hierarchy.

Though there is still a desperate need in Latin America for priests, Father Considine continued, there has been rapid progreS!;l in some countries toward stimulating and fostering priestly vocations.
With regard to social advances made through the Church in several Latin American countries, Father Considine singled out as advances the frequent pastorals of Latin American Bishops on social problems, work done by the hierarchy and clergy to achieve better housing and living cOl)ditions for underprivileged groups, appeals for higher living standards for rural workers and a growing understanding on the part of Latin Americans of the Church's concern for their condition.

WORCESTER (NC) - U. S. Sen. John F. Kennedy of Mas-' sachusetts, has called upon students to "enter the field of politics at sOJ11e stage in your career.", '
Speaking at Clark University, the Senator observed that "politics has become one of our most neglected, our most abused and our most ignored professions."
It ranks low on the occupati~nal list of a large share of the population, Sen. Kennedy said. Its "chief practitioners are rarely well or favorably known," he added. o
"No education,' except finding your way around a smoke-filled room, is considered necessary for political success,," he continued.
Sen. Kennedy. reminded the students. that the mutual suspicion between scholar and politician did not always exist.
"I would ask you who look with disdain and disfavor upon the possibilities of a political career, to remember that our nation's first great politicians were traditionally our ablest, most respected, most talented leaders," he said.
They were men, the Senator commented, "who moved from one field to another with amazing versatility and vitality."
He reminded students' "will ing to enter the abused and neglected profession of politics" that the nation stands in serious need of the fruits of their education.
He emphasized that the need . is not for political scholars whose education has been so specialized as to exclude them from participation in current events. "What we need are men who can ride easily over broad fields of knowledge and recognize the mutual dependence of our two .worlds," he concluded.

Dear Father Considine: We were sitting at the table
having Korean "chow", and the conversation among the Bishop and the priests was centered on American generosity. . , Said Bishop John Baptist Sye
to his men: "Do you know, that it might well be that the pastor of anyone amopg these Amer

The Korean priests; chopsticks remained suspended in midair!
"How and why be generous to an An1erican pastor?" , . The Bishop, then told us the story: how it was an American priest who paid for his entire education as a priest. (St. Peter 'the Apostle)
"I used to be ,told by .the French Bishop (Msgr. Desmanges) when I was in the Seminary to write to this priest in latin" every year at Christmas. I llever knew his name - - - just that he'was an American priest. So I have always prayed for him, and will continue to do so. I wonder where he is now. . . .
: Is he still alive? I wish I could' 'write to him and tell him ~hat
I am now the Bishop of Taegu! It might make him happy. The generosity I mentioned:' we must be generous in our prayers for those who have helped us. For all you know' my friend might be in Purgatory." ,

On Fire for love
God Love You 'By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D;
Our Divine Lord expressing the purpose of His visitation to earth said: "It is fire that I have come to. spread over the earib, and' what better wish can I have than 0
that it should be kindled.". When He sent His Spirit upon the Church it appeared as "tongues of fire." Fire is a symbol of a quick, triumphant energy which transforms us into His Likeness. This fire of God, if it falls on us, burns our coldness, makes us glow with enthusiasm, making the Creed a living power, the Sacraments a reservoir of apostolate, and our lives a flame of earnest consecration. We are to be set' on fire for the love of God and the Church as fire turns' the wettest and eoldest day into flame! ' .
But are we on fire? Do we so love the Church that we bring others to her sweet embrace? Do we so love the Vicar of Christ that we fill his outstretched hands with orphanages, leprosaria, schools and seminaries for the Japanese, Indians and Afrfcans lor whom OuI' Saviour died? '
What blessings we have!' One, the 'Blood of Christ in the Sacrament which washes away our guilt; the other, .the fiery influence of the Holy Spirit which makes us blazing apostles of the Cross. Lengthen your pra,yers five minutes a day; send the equi,valent of what you spend on.cigarettes to hire a catechist for a poor Mission in Ocea'nia; cut into, your capital to educate.a native
, African priest to prolong Calvary; take your first salary raise and s'end' it to' us and we will send it to the Holy Father as we' do all of your gifts. Do something for God, to catch fire, and arouse your passions for the love of God, Who is a consuming fire. Shall we forget the warning of God: "Thou art neither hot nor col~, therefore will I vomit Thee from My Mouth?" Set yourself afre with love of God and man and the missions!

. Professor Attacks Catholic Church
'j Fourth: From 191'0 until 1948 Professor George W. ,Elderkin taught archeology at Princeton: His teachings were a continuous attack on the Catholic'Church, her doctrine, her discipline and her membership. Here are some quotations, from Professor Elderkin: "The real subversives
in the United States are the Catholic clerics...." "The ultimate responsibility for the frightful religiOlls slaugh.ter

"On April 22, 1957 Archbishop Cushing and the Knights of Columbus, awarded Mr; J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, the, 'Lantern of Freedom' at
· 'Boston. Thus the bishop posing as,' night-riding Paul Revere, transferred the lanterns of American freedom, to :the steeple of his un-American ·church." .
. This type of "scholarship"'is surely not above critiCism. :!Such charges mu~t not go unanswered. To reply to these statements is toch II f' I' t;; a enge pro eSSlOna Incompe ence. Father Halton could not be sil~nt. "

But these are side .issues. The basic issue is the right or a Catholic priest to'answer charges against the Church,

:See~: An~:lbg}> .Between :'Q'~eeif' .And Working News' ,Rep9rter
By Mary Tinley Daly . A little late to be wI'itiirg about ,the visit· of Queen
Elizabeth II? . Certainly, miles of typewriter ribbons must have been
worn inkbare in spot-news reporting, in features, editorial' eo"mment and encomia. Well, it was a newspaper pic
Her wardrobe has been ture, widely circulated, and perdescribed from every scarleto velvet fold of the chic millinery to, the stylish 'by .smart but. comfortable. shoes. The Queen's. smile, her walk, . e 0 m pIe xion, manner - they have all been described jour-:mastically from the great metropolitan dailies ·to the smallest eounty monthly.
Like millio'ns
;:a::~e~;uns:~ lii;'\ . the Queer and Prince Philip; like thqusands of other newspaper people, we had the pleasure of meeting them at the large press reception in Washington.
For more than an hour, they' stood in line meeting the ladies and gentlemen of the press, each presented by the. jovial Paul Wootton, master-of-ceremonies par excellence.
As the line slowly inched its · way toward the Queen, we had a good chance to study her without seeming to stare. We were
· impressed,as were so many· others, with the sparkle in lier blue eyes, at the genuine friendliness of her sni"ile and the firm, handshake and word of' greeting
·for each guest. Gruelling -' E·xhausting
•Aside: from the pomp and eere~ony of the surroundings,
,this might have been any gra· eious, poised young matron · Yisiting a sti';mge to'wn and sin:" eerely happy to meet friends-offriends.
From the' news' reports and from all TV and radio coverage, we feel that the sam~'happy and relaxed attitude' prevailed throughout the state: visit with a, tightly packed schedule even though it must have 'been physically gruelling a~d nervously exhausting. : .. . .
Not.for Me ;When we saw Queen Elizabeth
" at that press recepdon, we wondered if, in like circumstances, we could turn in anything, approaching as good a' performance. Definitely no, we adm·itted.
The newspaper woman behind 'us, a brilliant writer, voiced the same thought: .
"How would you like to go through this?" sh~ ·.asked. "I'd hate it. Away from your' chil dren."
. 'It's Take It , Her. voice drifted: off and we
kne:w that 'at 'this very moment she would' rather be' home with her own two than standi;'g in the line awaiting the Queen.
, She had been busy 'all day and fa~ed a night assignment "cov:' ering'" the state dinner for the
• Queen' and Prince .Philip. , Yet both of these young WQmen were. carrying' on the' i~structio~,in. your grammar and, d,~ties which ~eir. state of life .. high" ~hools.. ~ou~d . ha,:e ~.n
'. ~a9~imi>osed' upon them,' and c~ns~~e~~d,ad~l1'abl~tr~llned ~or ~~i~g. it gallantly. ., . .h~s t~e. m.the .~orld and.to pro
". ltimany a Ci(y room in a mul.: ti.tude.of offi~es, behind counters
in stor¢.s', we h;1ve seen the same ej:iiritin women as'that evidenced
· by the Queen. Through one circumstance or another, they have to lead a public as well as a pri vate ,l~e. It's no "Take it or leave it" proposition-1t's take it.
Cold Truth . ., Too often, to our way of think
ing, a working wife is con0demned and belittled by un-:thinking, misunderstanding crit ics. She is accused of wanting.
'a "career," oftentimes when she is merely selling stockings or' working as a file. clerk, and. out of sheer. necessity. Her chiidren are dubbed "neglected" by the armchair moralists, although '!he is making every possible provision for them, viewed. in the cold light of reality. 'What prompted this· late
l'eport 'of the QUeen'~ viSit, and." admiration for heJ:. QUiU
haps you saw it,too. ·The picture was of Queen Elizabeth II on her first day home in England with little Princess Anne, ageCiseven. There was the same bright smile that we had seen, but tl\is time it, was a relax;ed,. motherly smile asher .arm rested lightly and lovingly around the shoulders of the little daughter.
And we. 'recall seeing the same motherly smile 'on the face of our nECwspap'er .colleague when the din of the citY room ;is forgotten, the. need for "smart, writing" Qver for. the day, and she can come home to the small two-room apartment-and' her children. .

William O. Brady of St. Paul, a · native of. FallR,iver, has warned parents to "ta~e off the blinders' from their· eyes" in regard to
· teen-agers and company-keeping.' .
The Archbishop's admonition was given in his weekly column in the Catholic Bulletin, news" paper of the St. Paul, archdiocese. He deplored the fact "that more than a few parents have refused to take a st'and on teenage company-keeping."
"How .can parents excuse themselves' thinking that what goes on is cute?" the Archbishop asked.
"If parents' duties must be spelled out in cietail," he said, "this is the story: Boys and girls' must be taught (and taught by their parents) that boys are boys and girls are girls * '* '* that while the young are still children, they cannot play at being adults '* ..

thumps away at the sight of one, of Our Lady's best-known and' best-loved apparitions. The Le'ft Bank of Paris (commbnly known' as the Latin, Quarter)"was the locale of the Blessed Mother's' revelation of the Miraculous Medal.
Outside the convent of the Sisters of Charity on the Rue de Bac (founded by St. Vincent de Paul), pulses much of the intellectual and artistic life of Paris. Students on their way to the Sorbonne chatter llway <\bout philosophy; old men on the street corners sip at red wine and discuss the merits of Picasso; children wrestle on the sidewalk while their m~thers wrangle, quite voeally, the price of'squash: '
This is the Latin Quarter. It' has traditionally been the breed-:ing ground of great',saints and great sinncrs. And whatever else ~
can be said aboutit, this,much at least is certain: naturally and (in many quarters) supel'naturally, it is bristling with life.
Inn Waitress This off-beat locale, however,
Is not the only remarkable detail of ,the Miraculous Medal apparition. The subject of the apparition, Cat!}erine Laboure, is even more striking. She was a wait resS in a Paris inn. , : 'She was a ~aitress In the 'inn'
of' hcr uncle, that is, until she entered thc Sisters of Charity. J:n the world Catherine (Chris.. tian name: Zoe) was an ordinary, healthy, even robust peasant girl who felt very early in life the desil'c to dedicate herself eniirely to God in the religious life. Her family offered strong ~pposition. She finally prevailed on them, however, and in April of 1830, entered the convent on Rue de Bac.
A few weeks after she had begun her novitiate, on the night of July 18, 1830, something strange happened. It was strange even for a convent in the Latin Q'uarter! Catherine's guardian a~gel led her into the chapel. There the Blessed Mother app¢ared to the novice in great' splendor a,nd dignity. 0
Confessor Conivinced -On 'this' night and during th~
two apP3.rit,ions Which followed, the Queen of Heaven confided 'Electrical Contractors " secrets to Catherine Laboure and gave bel;" specific' or~erli., ~er:; , ,~',:::,:"'W,Yman 5-7555 ~l ~nfes!ioI' a~ first did ,not ,pay ~
attention to the recitals' of .the /'
heaven triumphed over pastoral pruderice.. '. "" ' ,, The confessor believed arid told the Bishop. The Bishop be
•)leved 'arid told the worid.' When the" apparitions beca~e, public through: tl1e disclosu,res of the" Bishop, Sister Catherine's name was, never mentioned in connec,": tion with· them.
For ,46 years, she tended old men in the hospital, fed the chickens, "scrubbed in the laundry, cooked in the kitchen. No, one ever knew. It was not until after her death that the world discovered the name of this totally unknown nun.
. But we are getting ahead of our story. It is now 5:30 on Saturdayevening. The date is Nov: 27, 1830. Sister Catherine is kneeling at prayer with the other sisters' in the chapel. On this spiritual island in the heart of the Latin Quarter, Our Blessed Lady is about to inaugurate the devotion of the Miraculous Medal. " ,
Our Lady Appears To: the tight of the sanctuary,
a' little above eye-level, Catherine suddenly beholds Oui Lady. Mary is standing on a gl()be~ holding in ,her hands a'n..; , other globe which Teflects rays of great brilliance. "These rays are the graces that Mary obtains for men," a voice says to Catherine.' Encompassing the white-robed, blue-mantled Lady are the words "0 Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recouse to Thee!"
,The,Blessed Virgin explains to Catherine that the globe represents the' entire world, France in particular-but especially every single, person on whom she would bestow grace. The vision alters, and the young novice sees a letter M surmounted. by a Cross, standing on a bar beneath which are two hearts, the Sacred lfea~~s of Jesus and Mary. , A ,crown of thorns surrounds one; a sword pierces the ,other. '
Promises Indulgences The voice speaks again, "A
medal must be struck on this pattern; the, persons who shall wear it with indulgences at tached to it, and shall offer the above prayer, shall enjoy a very special' pl',ote~tion from the Mother of God:" 'And with that

began. As soon as the medal was struck; 'the MiraculoW! Medal· devotion'spread rapidly, through France at first, then throughout the entire' world. The most wonderful conversions' and cures cried witness to this heaven;;' blessed devotion. , The very first medal was taken
to the Archbishop of Paris, who not only confessed his belief in its miraculous powers, but actually carried it to an unlikelyenough devotee: a notorious apostate priest. Archbishop Pradt of Malines, Belgium, had deserted the Church during the French Revolution. Up until now he had firmly refused to

Urges,' Nuns Ret~in" : Virtue of Charity
TORONTO (NC)-"While you implement the new techniques:, and skills which are So vital; keep before you the old tech"; nique of charity," Auxiliary Bishop F. V. Allen of Toronto told 250 nuns attending the Catholic Hospital Association convention.
Bishop Allen said it was the spirit of charity which had prompted, the, Sisters' predecessors to establish their works for the sick and infirm, and that this spirit has characterized the Catholic hospital through the ages.
"It is this spirit that more than ever must prevail in this age, given so much to materialism
, and secularism. ,We must ,look to you Sisters to keep burning the flame of charity;" he said.

A welcome-home letter from Father Dennis Geaney, who served as guest cQlumnist 'for us during our absence from Washington, .suggestsalogical topic. "You ~will.no-tice." he writes, "that in my several guest columns I kept away pretty Iriu"'- ·t .. .~, th~ trade union . picture and stuck' to integration and other general topics of that nature. .,Consequently you can go :full - steam ahead on the happenings" in. the' American labOr movement· during the past few' months'. In fact, I am sure your readers are,waiting for just that."
Our readers mayor may not be 'Naiting 'for' a column on~ the sUbj~ct. of labor racketeering.
But, In any event, here's the_war' the labor situation looks to us' as 'Ae take a fresh look at it afte! being cut off from' our' reg-. ular sources of information since the Erst of September.
Fust 0"£ all, we are even more eonv inted ihan when we left for Eurc.pe that the Senate investi ga~ic.ri· of labor racketeering waS a goasend. That is to say, it's' a blEis&ing to the labor movement· th~t the investigation came· in 1951 rather than 10 or 15 years 'from now.

Some idea of the evaluation of the club ,was selected from all the panel, Joseph Cunningham, out the country.cause an overwhelming majority of ordained priests are' former altar boys, the club members felt that their first vocational project should be the encouragement of present day altar boys.
After obtaining initial permission from Bishop Connolly, the club contacted all 10 pastors in its district, informed them of the objectives of the program, and asked their assistance and cooperation. Members say that the benevolent interest and unqualified support of Bishop Connolly, coupled with the complete cooperation and assistance of the pastors of the parishes involved, provided the inspiration which got the program off to a flying start.
Mass Meeting The next step was a mass
meeting of ,175 altar boys and their parents in St. John's school hall in Attleboro. All curates hi ", charge of parish altar boys were invited to this meeting, Club officers outlined the history and purpose of Serra, and Rev. James McCarthy, assistant at St. John The Evangelist Church and club chaplain, addressed the boys. Following the meeting, club members served refreshments.
The next project was a corporate Holy Communion of all altar boys in the district and of the members of the Serra Club, which took place at Sunday Mass in St. Mary's Church, North Attleboro. Communion was received by 243 out of a possible 250 altar boys, and by 50 out of a possible 53 Serrans. The boys marched to the Churehfrom St. Mary's School in their casso<;ks and surplices followed by the men of Serra. The impression that this picture created, is still talked about in the area. After Mass the boys adjourned to Elks Community Hall . where they were guests of the Serra Club at a communion breakfast. All transportation was provided ia the private cars of Serra members.
Last September, an altar boy outing was held at Cathedral Camp. This was the first club project in the term of President Bob McGowan. Again all transportation for the 210 boys who attended was furnished by members of the club. An intensive program of softball, swimming, basketball, races, etc., was carefully organized beforehand so that the entire day went off without a hitch. With the cooperation of Father William McMahon, camp director, refreshments were provided.
To Establish Ratings The communion breakfast and
the outing will be annual events. The club now' feels it is on ,
sufficiently firm ground to develop an Altar Boy Award. In determining the boys entitled to the awards, the rating of the priest directing altar boy activities in each parish will«:ount 50 per cent, and scores on c()mpeti tive examinations based on material sup'plied by, Serra International will count 50 per ~lmt.
The Most Reverend Bishop has graciously agreed to: present the awards at an evenin~ Mass t~ be held on some week ,day In May. This Mass will include the' annual corporate C~mn:'l,lnion and will be followed by'a communion' supper.
Considerable credit for the success of the program so far goes to J. Harry Condon, first chairman of the Altar Boy Committee, and to John Ahern, who

FALL RIVER Our Lady ofMercy Civics Club.
has received its official charter from the Commission on American Citizenship in Washington, D. C.
The charter formally recognizes' affiliation of the local unit with the national organization headquartered at Catholic University of America. Pupils of' grade eight and seven comprise the local club membership.
The officers of the newly 01'
ganized.club are: Rodney Pavao, president; Wanda Cordeiro, vicepresident; Mary Brum, recording and corresponding secretary; and Raymond St. 'Michel, sergeantat-arms.
Our Lady of Mercy Civics Club, is one of the thousands of Catholic civics clubs chartered in the United States for the express purpose of "fostering training for good citizenship."
Through monthly projects and study of articles featured in The Young Catholic Messenger-the national Catholic weekly for students of the upper elementary grades - these young citizens' learn in a practical way the meaning of Christian social living based on principles of justice and charity.
This year the program of study and action will develop the timely theme, "Your Freedom Under God," The program will explain the menace of, material ism, contrasting the operation of the materialistic way of life witln that of a genuinely Christian and ,democratic society.

(Newman. $3), has~athered autobiographical sketches by 19 people who have given 'their lives to some form of ·the lay apostolate. This readable
, ,volume should show many thou. san d s _ one
'hopes, millions _ how ,to use their s't a t ion :and c i I' C U mstances to bring Christ 'to the world.
Some of the contributors are 'f'a mo u s; the 'names of others are less famil

'for apostolic work. David Goldstein spent decades'
.going up and down the country · conducting open air meetings in 'which he presented the truths of the' Catholic religion to people
,who either knew nothing of them, or had fantastic misconceptions of them. Mary Ellen Kelly, on the other hand, is a total invalid who, from her home; has organ

Academy Award .Winn.ers Ludicrous in Retrospect
By Joseph A. Breig . Cleveland Universe BUlletin
I saw some excerpts the other day from movies which had won Academy Awards iIi the past, and I must say that I was moved to give· thanks for my own occupation of writing.
I mean no offense to anybody when I say that these 'old and once highly. ho'nored films, which .millions paid millions to see, were ineffably atny and funny.
The more seri~:lUsly the y originally were Intended; the more ridiculous they were. This Is' not a mere_ personal opinIon. The audience howle·d
• with, rriirt~. The scenes devoted to what
Hollywood ~alls. love were the. most prepostero.us. The obvious reason for this was that love is beyond Hollywood's grasp.
Hollywood's attempts to portray love are almost invariably· caricatures and burlesques. Only
',the glitter and glamor of the moment prevents audiences from realizing the fact when the "films
'. .are first released. -
Absordity Remains Let a few years pass, let the
eostumes become a bit outmoded so tb.at the superficialites· are stripped away, and what remains is absurdity.
Nevertheless, year after year, solemn ceremonies are nationally televised in order that the absurdities may be celebrated in the awarding of Oscars.
Writers, producers and play- . ers, Overcome with emotion, hasten forward with bated breath to receive what must surely be the most ephemeral honor in the history of human expl·ession.
As remorseless time passes; lIUrely the winners do one of two things. Either they resolutely- refuse ever to look at :a' re-run of the film for which they were honored, or they hand their awards to the nearest trash man. • Oh, .all right, I'll modify that statement. I suppose what the . pla)'ers really do is to keep the .

SAN FRANCISCO (NC) The lay apostolate's job of bringing Christ into the world is finding . its most serious obstacle within tl).e Church itself, according to the man who headed, for all practical purposes, the re-' cent Second World Congress of the Lay Apostolate held in Rorrie.

Sports Chatter
Yoke'$ Win Over Whalers Among Outstanding Upsets
By Jack Kineavy Somerset High School Coach
Cheer, cheer for Old Notre l?ame !Th~ Irish, under youthful coach Terry Brennan, engineered the upset of the season, derailing the Oklahoma Express that had rung. up a record 47 consecutive victories. Texas A. and M., the nation's No.1 ranked ~eam, also went "south," dropping a 7-6 decision to Rice University. Here in ·the East, it was Yale over Princeton, and underdog Holy Cross failed by just a matter of inches In a determined bid to wrest a probable Gator Bowl Invitation from Penn State.
But the surprised were by no means restricted to the collegians. There were upsets galore in the schoolboy ranks, most of which took p~ace in metropolitan Boston.
The game of the day in Southeastern Massachusetts; however, ranks well up in tlie realm of pigskin phenomena. An aroused New Bedford Vocational eleven, winless in its last 13 starts, rose up to smite the Crimson of New Bedford, 13-6, in a thrill-packed encounter played at Sargent Field before' a large partisanenthusiastic crowd.
Team Effort Essentially, the Voke victory
was a team effort. The big Green had demonstrated a potent scor": ing punch all year long but second-half defensive lapses proved their undoing time and again. Such was not the case Saturday. The Mackintosh-Janiak coached eleven hung in there all the way to register the upset of the local scholastic season, annex the Whaling City title, and break a long losing streak, all in one fell swoop.
Pandemonium reigned at the final whistle with jubilant Yoke fans pouring onto the field to congratulate their ecstatic heroes. Standouts for Vocational were giant end Martin Gomes, who scored one touchdown and was instrumental in the other; "Scooter" Morris, diminutive back, who indeed lived up to his nickname in rambling 55 yards to paydirt with a Gomes' lateral; George McMullen, versatile quarterback, who ran his team well particularly in the opening two periods, and Co-captain Mike Dodge who played a whale of a game at center. , For New Bedford, Tom Eck Jr. literally played himself off his feet. Brother Carlton turned in a good job at tackle and Duncan MacDonald, Crimson power runner, again demonstrated superlative ball carrying ability.
Coyle' Downs Durfee In other games throughout the
area Coyle, the County's No.· 1 team, hUmbled Durfee 23-0 at Alumni Field. Fumbles and a blocked punt proved costly to the Hilltoppers. Quarterback Freccero scored three .times for the Warriors, and te'l:mmate Gazzola continued to excel in the points-after-touchdown department, converting all three. The victory advanced Coyle's standing in Class C, Durfee being a Class B school.
Wareham, the only Class C power, put on another explosive late game offensive to register a 25-13 victory at Fairhaven. As in the Durfee game a week earlier, Co-captains Tom Eccleston and Gene Lopes were the key men in the Wareham cause.
The Taunton-North Attleboro game couldn't have been much closer. The Herrings, a touchdown in arrears throughout most of the game, scored' with less than two minutes left on the clock on John Cullen's "bootleg"
run. Paul Levesque rushed the winning point and Gus DiRubio's boys had their fifth win in seven starts. Attleboro went doWn, , 25-0, at Stoughton.
On the small-school scene, Case bad an easy time of it
. against Dighton, rolling up a 33-13 advantage. The' victory boosted the Cardinals into a second place tie in Narry: with Somerset, both with three points. Dartmouth currently leads the league with four, offa win over Falmouth and two successive ties with Somerset 'and Case.
However, since neither Somerset nor Case has played Fal- . mouth-both games having been postponed-the opportunity of acquiring two points is lacking both schools. This would mean that a Dartmouth victory on Thanksgiving -would . give the Green the title, regardless of the outcome of the .Case-Somerset contest. Narry officials were scheduled to meet on'Tuesday, Nov. 19, in an attempt to resolve the problem. .
Somerset' met and defeated' Tabor Academy, 42-20, in a high scoring contest at· Marion, .Saturday. On the Cape, Yarmouth overwhelmed Falmouth, .25-0: Mansfield belted Westwood, 45-6,' and Oliver Ames levelled Foxboro, 33-2. Dartmouth was idle.
