The debate was held at the Knights of Columbus aud­itorium and wa• well a ttended both by the student body and the forensic enthusiasts of Kankakee. Although St. Xavier was awarded the unanimous decision of the judges, both teams presented well developed, substantial arguments which merited the praise and commendation of all those pres­ent.

McGrath represented St. Xavier College. The judges of the debate were: Hon. Gerard A. Connor, Attorney at Law, Chicago; Ron.

LeClaire, and Mr. C. Raymond Spra­g ue. Mr. John W. Stafford, Mr. Ar­mand Lottinville, and Mr. Robert 0. Barnett defended the negative.

By a decision taken by a vote of the ent ire a ssembly, the affirmative men were declared the victors

In every country, in the world of the great Universal Church, the names of certain zealous priests and bishops stand forth as heralds of n great message. This message which they brought has had its effect upon the history of these countrie ·, in proportion to Lhe cnrne~tn ss with which it was received and this in tum has dcp nded largely on the zeal and personality of its bearer. In St. Patrick, however, Ireland found more than a herald of a great mes­sage; to her he was an ideal teacher and a kind father . His entire life hus been reflected in the charact rand personality of his child­r n. llc has instilled inlo their hearts the qualities of faith and elf-sacrifice in such a way that nowhere in the history of the

world is th re recorded the name of the champion of any cause whi h has so endeared itself to universal love.

Ile came loa kind and s imple people, a fervent missionary, with n simplicity which is 11ltribuled to all pure spirits. In truth he wns a pur , piJ· il, fired with the love of the gift he brought and he bum d God's message into the heart of the race. That fire has required no rekindling though all these yea rs ha,·e pa t since that shephet·d of God's flock first warmed the hearts of His fold in Erin with Didne Faith.

'l. Patrick was indeed the forerunner of a race of sain ts and with that highest knowledge of God the sons of Patrick have 8prellCI a true knowledge of all the arts and sciences as well. It WI\ in this land of apparent desolation that the park of faith and knowledge was kept ali,·e during those year, of darkne s when all Europe was torn by civil nnd .• ligious strife, and it wa from this hun~n (truth that the new y t !.'\' r ancient priesthood went forth to reclaim the souls that had wandered from Christ's path.

It ha~ been lh faith that t. Patrick ga,·e to the Island which hns enabled it to nstantly struggle again t a more powerful ad­\'C t-sary. ller struggle for politi ul ind pcndence has ever been in­spit·ed by a determination to retain her ''priceless heritage," and us she has be n successful in doing thi ·, let us hope that in the not too distnnl future we shall ee and know an independent and

ST. MARY'S WINS ST. CATHOLIC TITLE Resume Of All The

Tournament Games State Catholic Champions

The first Illinoi s State Catholic High School Basketball Tournament opened in the St. Viator College gymnasium at 7:30 o'clock on the evening of Fri­day, March 2nd . A large crowd of spectators attended. The g ymnasium was beautifully decorated for the event and a. truly metropoli tan , en~ thusiastic a tmosphere -. w.&.s provided for the event by the very nature of the occasion, and by th e large crowd and well appoi nted gymnasium. St. Joseph's Academy Wins From

Visitation High In the first game, five diminutive

stars representing St. J oseph's Acad­emy of Philo defeated the Vis:itation High School tea m of Kewanee, Ill. The game was quite close from start to finish, but the game little fighters from Philo held to the lead throughout the game. The Individual star of the game was Eddie O'Neil of Philo, but he was closely · pressed for honors by hls cousin, C. O'Neil.

The victory for Philo was not only the first game of the tournament, but it was also the firs t up-set of the event. Little or nothing waa known about the· Philo squad, but the very fact. that .there are only eleven boys in the St. Joseph Academy of that city seemed to indicate that the team would not survive the first game. Visitation, a school with a noteworthy record, apparently thought they bad a set-up until they finally awakened to the fact that they were trailing on the short end of a pretentious score. The O'Neil boys displayed remarkable accuracy from every angle on the floor. Although small In size, and un­lettered in the finer points of the game, the victors guarded well, dis­played fine sportsmanship, and 'chuck­ed' every minute of the game. From the conclusion of the first half, until the very last game of the Tournament, the Philo team was the most popular team In the tournament.

The box score: St Joseph's Philo (21)

tion. The game was largely a defen­sive one, as the score would indicate. Each t eam endeavored to analyze the attack of the other before trying to run up the score. The Bloomington team had an advantage in size and speed, while the players from Wood­

stock, unaccustomed to a large floor. seemed unable to work the ball through the tight defense of their op­ponents.

BLOOMINGTON TEAM WINS STATE TITLE

FROM SPALDING St. Mary's Plays Remarkable

Ball To Win Championship

In a ga me marked by the brilliant playing of Copt. John Callans and the clever floor work of Dugan, St. Mary~s of Bloomington won the right to re­present the state of !11inois a t the Na­tional Catholic Tournament a t Loyola.

St. Ma ry's beat Spalding Institute of Peoria mainly because of the clever defense built around Callans to smo­ther the scoring efforts of Voegle, the ace of the P eoria team. Spalding leaped into the lead at the start of the game and at one time led 7 to 2. Sweeney finally broke the ice with a

long toss and the Bloomington entry began to function in their real form. Callans covered Voegele like the figur­ative rug and at the half St. Mary's held a one point lead.

In the second half the superior eon­dillon of the Saints and the bard schedule of the Spalding team began to show. Still using the tight defense and adopting a fast-breaking offense the Champs Increased the lead. Spaid.

ing tried hard to overtake the Saints but here again Cal1ans proved hls value. For the whole last quarter St. Mary's loafed away the preciou• mln· utes and when the occasion presented itself broke down the court for a shot that was usually good. Voegle finally

For Spalding, Spitzer, the elongated gua rd and Voegle at center played the best ball. Time after time Spitzer showed the brand of ba11 that was to make him a member of the all-star team and Voegle In spite of the tight guarding of Callans managed to put two through the net.

The g a me was unusual1y hard

fou g ht for a fi nal game of the tourna­ment and it was not until the second half that any signs of letting up ap·

pea red. St. Mary's used a slow break­ing game intermingled with an oc­casional quick break and this manner

of play accounted for the maximum of

scoring with the minimum of effort. Spalding used a fas t breaking offense during 1110st of the game with Spitzer, Teegan and Voegle advancing the ball

down the cou rt. Most of the offensive work of the Peorians waa built around Voeg le and with him stopped they were forced to resort to long-shooting tactics which failed.

St. Mary's deserved to win . By the brand of ball they displayed in the State Tournament the plucky lads from Bloomington proved themselvee to be worthy of representing thie great s tate In competition with the beet of the country.

During the early part of the season much enthusiasm was shown for Cap­tain P feffer who was defending his title from last year but his "dizzy dribbl ers" were not up to the pink of condition and soon lost the prestige gained the previous season. F erris' outfit was something new in the league, being composed almost entirely of day-dodgers.

Having come through a ha rd sched­ule with nine victories to their credit and but two losses chalked against them, Warner Salg's speedy aggrega­tion was awarded the championship of the Academic Basketball Legue. Their nearest rivals, the crew captained by Cabanaw, finished three games back.

Captain Salg's team played fast, consistent basketball in almost all of their league encounters. Two of the three which they lost were dropped by one point margins. Salg was league high point man, having amassed a season total of ninety-two points. One of his men, Carl L ewis, came in under the wire in fourth place with forty-four points, while yet another member of the same squad, diminutive Louie Dressler, finished tenth with twenty-three marks. With this trio on the job in every battle, small wonder that the quintet came out on top. Bob Spreitzer was runner up for individual honors, having garnered seventy-six points during the race, while Walter "Rip" Welsch closed up in third plaee with a total of forty-nine.

On Saturday morning last a ll the high school pupils, who desired to en­ter the race for the medals met in the study ha ll and elected captains. The twenty-four leaders chosen then con­vened after Mass, Sunday morning, and picked two men apiece to round out their teams.

St. Mary 's High School of Bloom­ington duplicated their victory of the night before by defeating Corpus Christi of Bloomington 17 to 7. Al­though the Bloomington team headed Corpus Christ i from the beginning, they had anythiug but a picnic doing so, for the latter team did not relax t heir efforts for a moment. Once ngain, however, the size of the St. Mary's guards placed a damper on the Corpus Christi scoring endeavors. Callans and Sweeney were the out­standing stars for Bloomington. \Var­den was the principal factor in the Corpus Christi attack.

Joseph's, (Philo) went to the semi­fin a ls which began on Sunday after­noon at 2:00.

Bloomington \Vina From Philo

The winning streak of the St. Joseph's Academy team was broken by St. Mary'• High of Bloomington. Th~ team play o! St. Mary'! wa~ too much for the tired Philo representatives, so the ultimate ehampions won with ease. St. Mary's were at their best, while the St. Jooeph's Academy boys-seem ed unable to locate th" hoop with their n.aual~y.
