Vlethodist College Lauds
Catholic U. Baskethallers
WASHINGTON (NC) Ran
dalph-Macon College, of Ashland,
Va., one of the oldest Methodist
colleges in America, likes to en
gage in athletic events with teams
from the Catholic University of
America. A letter from Hugh Ste
phens, Randolph-Macon athletic di
rector, to Edmund LaFond, C.U.
athletics director, speaks of Coach
Abe Rosenfield and his basketball
team as follows:
"Coach Rosenfield and his boys
are indeed to be congratulated by
their fine display of hard play and
sportsmanship. Never once did
Coach or squad member complain
about anything. It is certainly un
fortunate that we can’t have more
games like this in college athletics
today.”

Won’t Drop Foolball Now
Says Fordham President
NEW YORK (NC) The full

are properly supported, the Very
Rev. Lawrence J. McGinley, S. J.,
president, told 1,000 members of
the alumni association at the
Biltmore Hotel.
Marion St. Mai
Second Tourne'
Marion St. Mary’s, winner of 19
games against one loss since the
season opened, will engage in its
second tournament foe tonight on
the Otterbein boards at Wester
ville.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. for
the Irish, winners of their first
tourney trial Monday, 66-22
over Holy Family, and champs
of the Central Catholic League.
The top-seeded Marion five,
which advanced to the finals of
last season’s district tournament
before bowing to Ashley, disposed
of Holy Family easily but for Lan
caster St. Mary it was a different
story as the Fairfield Countians
bowed to Worthington 56 to 48.

Ralph Hinger
Part of the credit for Notre

Tip-Offs
COSHOCTON SACRED HEART
cagers wound up their home sea
son recently with a 74 58 verdict
over Bladensburg to pull to a 10-6
record on the season. They were
scheduled to play Cambridge St
Benedict in the finale.
8 8
MARION ST. MARY’S, third
ranked among state Class teams,
won the championship of the Cen
tral Catholic League by swirling
past seven straight opponents. Ov
erall, they posted an 18-1 record,
the only loss to a Class A school.
The Irish’s center, Dick Gunder,
added to his new CCL scoring rec
ord in getting 25 points in the CCL
finale against Springfield CC. He
finished with 146 points for seven
contests to outstrip the 108 of last
season by Lancaster St. Mary’s Tom
Abbott in eight games.

ST CHARLES’ RESERVES “pick
ed up” the varsity (which failed to
defend its CCL crown) by going un
defeated in seven league games to
take the League’s reserve title.
MT. VERNON ST. VINCENT’S
Virg Blakely probably set a new
Knox County scoring record for
sophomores when he pumped 437
points through the nets for the sea
Ison. That’s in 22 games.
The champs, pictured above, are, left to right, front row: Dick
Gunder, Dave Smith, the Very Rev. Msgr. William J. Spickerman
(Pastor of St. Mary's), Dan Merchant, and Jim Finnegan second
row: Jack O'Keefe, Larry Ryan, Jasper Tinnerello, Don Shoemaker,
Jim Irvin (manager), Roy Robbins (Coach), Pete Huber (manager),
Pat O'Connor, Mike Anderson, Jim Kilbury, and Jack McNamara.
South Bend freshmen basket
bailers their first taste of col
lege court play.
The then ND freshman coach has
since been busy cooking up good
records at St, Vincent’s, but he still
gets a warm glow reading sport
page accounts of his former pro
teges, now members of the Irish
varsity.
Streaks Ride High
Ralph would probably rather
dwell upon the fine teams with
which he has been blessed at St.
Vincent’s the last two seasons,
however.
The Blue Streaks engineered a
ten-game winning streak last sea
son, climaxed by the Knox County
League championship.
Their record was 19-7 in Ralph's
first year on the sidelines. This
year they sported a 17-4 slate, in
cluding nine straight victories on
the tail end of the regular season.
That's 36-11 for two seasons
—not bad for a first try.
Winning the county crown didn’t
make the Streaks popular, though.
After the furore over the Exempt
ed Village and Parochial school
tournaments, the league heads de
clined to let St. Vincent’s enter
the county tournament. And this
year found them NOT a member of
the league.
Has The Right Formula
Championships have trailed the
24-year-oId Hinger wherever he has
gone.
While in his senior year at St.
Philip’s high, Chicago—where he
was born his team won the Chi
cago city basketball championship,
defeating the public school champs
in Chicago Stadium.
With the Ft. Bragg (North Caro
lina) post basketball team, he help
ed win the 7th Arm court crown
and the Oliver General Hospital
tournament, being named to the
latter all-tourney team.
After shedding the khaki, Ralph
entered Notre Dame in 1946, earn
mg three letters in basketball. He
was graduated in 1950 with a B.S.
in Physical Education.
W here Effort Counts
“An athtlete gets as much out of
sports as he’s willing to put into
them," is his coaching philosophy.
From the results the Blue
Streaks have been getting, it’s ap
parent they must have adopted his
slogan. One of his lads of last sea
son, Jim Feeney, broke all Knox
County scoring records.
No particular gripes about pres
ent day sports, says Ralph. He en
tered coaching because it’s an ‘‘ex
cellent way to keep in close con
tact with sports” after one’s play
ing days are over.
H*'s in a pleasant rut about
basketball. It's hi* favorite
sport to watch, to play and to
coach.
Married more than a year now,
he and his wife, Marianne, have
made St. Vincent’s parish their
home and if Blue Streak fandom
has its way, it will be a permanent
arrangement.

Catholic Youth
If any of our readers happen
to know of a debating society
in search of members, let us
know—we think we have a cou
ple of good candidates who will
bring their own topic for discus
sion. We found them in the per
sons of Millard Snively. coach of
St. Augustine’s boys, and Bob
O’Mahoney, who fills the same
job at St. Patrick’s and their
topic is whether there is any
thing to that old saying about
the “Luck of the Irish”.
Their opinions were a bit differ
ent when they discussed this point
at the monthly meeting of the Ele
mentary Coaches Association last
week. The subject came up when
the coeches were discussing the
drawing for the Grade school tour
nament. Mr. Snively wondered if an
absent school could have another
person draw for it on March 2nd,
the date of the drawings. If so, he
favored Mr. O'Mahoney, if St. Au
gustine's had to have a sub, and
though he didn't come right out
and say it, the other coaches could
tell immediately that the name was
the thing that enticed him. But Mr.
O'Mahoney, although willing, didn't
quite agree with Mr. Snively'*
point. "I'm not so sure about the
luck of the Irish," he smiled, “af
ter last week's game." Then every
one recalled that St. Pat's had play
ed Immaculate Conception in a top
Presentation league contest and—
of course they lost.
The fact remains, though, that
St. Augustine’s will be represent
ed- when the drawings take place
and Mr. Snively will see to that
—and we applaud him for it. In
fact we’d like to commend both
the above named gentlemen and
a good number of others who
play a very important part in
this Elementary school program.
Both Millard and Bob give their
valuable time and if you’ll
check the records you’ll find
that they both are very busy
men—and don’t expect much out
of it. That’s the case in many
of the schools and we wish it
were 100 per cent that way. The
Pastor’s big problem is to find
the right kind of leadership for
his boys, the kind that is based
on the individual’s love of the
work and his desire to give of
himself tor a worthwhile work.
Yes, we've really discovered that
this is quite a problem and we're
beginning to appreciate mor* end
more th* men who volunteer their
time and go all the way in doing it.
If we ar* going to keep our grade
school program fulfilling it* pur
pose it's going to be through these
men.
While we’re on the point of
this meeting we’d like to give
a good word for the necessity at
good attendance at them. A lot
of individuals often think that
meetings are a waste of time,
but that isn’t always so. Just
to give an example—the other
evening we discussed the idea of
the weight limit in lootball and
we brought across the point to
a few that the weight limit was
necessary. We showed that even
though perhaps the present lim
it outlaws a few lads in the
eighth grade, it still covers the
greater number of boys and the
fact that those heavy boys don’t
get the experience that might
help them in high school doesn’t
enter into the question for the
purpose of the program is not
that at all. The same nay with
the coming swimming meet—the
problem of the legitimate breast
stroke was talked about. It might
have eliminated some difficulty
in the future if all of the teams
in the meet had been represent
ed.
Th* Grad* School Treck end
Field Meet which was last held in
1941 is on th* docket for the spring
sport calendar. If is held, it will
be in let* Mey.
