The battling Bishops of Rosecrans high, Zanesville, invade
the enemy territory of St. Mary’s, Lancaster, tonight for one
of the featured Catholic cage meetings of the week.
Seeking their second victory, the Bishops will be more

It was a very simple affair with
emphasis on the most important
thing—plenty of food for the boys.
Each boy attending sat with his
parent and enjoyed the meal serv
ed by the team mothers. The
league trophy was awarded to the
school and Father D’Huyvetter
gave little individual trophies to
each boy.
What we liked was the simplicity
of the affair, plus the fact that
Art Isabelle—who didn’t get to
play in a single game this year be
cause he suffered a broken ankle
before the season started was
honored right along with the rest
of the team.
We were checking back into the
history of the elementary leagues
and we find that Holy Family won
its first grade school grid title in
1933. They were the only cham
pions that year because there were
only two leagues in the city and
these were divided according to
the sections of (he town. The city
championship was decided by a
playoff.
Holy Rosary was the first foot
ball champ, in 1926. They followed
up the next year but were unseat
ed in 1928 by Holy Name school.
St. Thomas' won the ciown in 1929.

DENNISON—This has been a
good season for Catholic high foot
ball squads. St. Mary’s Blue Waves
helped to make it that kind of sea
son.
They merely recorded the best
season in their entire athletic his
tory—dating from 1941—in streak
ing to an 8-1 record. They were
victors in the first eight games,
losing their finale.
Scoring 322 points, offensively,
Coach Dave DePage’s charges gave
opponents only 67. Chief reasons
for the big scoring parade were
traced to end Sam Bonifant and
halfback Joe Scolaro, second and
third highest scorers in the county
class “B” schools.
And the future is even brighter.
Only three seniors will be lost,
come June. Although these include
Bonifant, Scolaro dnd Don Arnold
—the team captain—local fans are
expecting more of the same pig
skin fare next fall.
The complete squad included:
Ends, Bonifant, Medler, Toth and
Cardani tackles, Russell, Fondriest,
Torch and Toth Guards, Beamer,
Dorsey, Demattio, Marchione, Hen

On the Ball
Best Season
Is Racked Up Two Ohio Teams Rate High
By Lisle W. Blackbourn
(Marquette University Football Coach)
This has been the happiest season in many years
for Catholic college football in general, with several
of the teams right up among the nation’s best after
several autumns in the doldrums.
Time was, and not so long ago, when there was
a fearful drop-off after the best Catholic team of the
year had been named. The conclusion of the 1951
season found at least four squads closely bunched
for top honors and several others presenting very
creditable records.
Such late developments as Xavier’s decisive tri
umph over then-unbeaten Cincinnati, San Francisco’s
one-sided walloping of College of
Villanova's surprising loss to Bos
ton College all figured in
thinking as we sought to rate
10 Best Catholic Teams of
Year.
our
the
the
The rapidity with which the
sociated Press pollsters this fall
dropped Notre Dame into the “Al
so Mentioned” classification was
hardly justified. They lost to very
tough opponents in Southern Meth
odist and Michigan St-te.
As has been the custom in this
column, we are not including our
own Marquette eleven in the reck
oning. Here, then, is our rating of
the 10 Top Teams:
San Francisco, Notre Dame. Holy
Cross, Xavier (Ohio), Villanova,
Santa Clara, Dayton, Fordham, De
troit, Loyola (Cal.)
It was refreshing to find Cath
olic teams or players at the very
top of the national standings in
several departments of grid play
late in the season. A recent Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau
release shows these

Clever Pepper Wilson, the Day

something paradoxical about the

dimples—but he’s the nastiest line
