setting the stage for the annual
state basketball tournaments. The
Central Catholic league teams are
galloping along at a fast pace and
there is no doubt that the winner
of the race will cross the line pant
ing and leading only by about a
half length. Columbus St. Marys
made sure of this last week when
it upset the Springfield Central
Catholic entry'.
But outside of Columbus and the
Central Catholic league, especially
in the southern and eastern part
of the Diocese, there is some real
ball being played by parochial
schools. Starting in Lancaster with
St. Marys, reaching down to Cen
tral Catholic at Chillicothe and
then going across to New Lexington
and the St. Aloysius team, up a
few miles to Somerset Holy Trin
ity and across to Zanesville
with Rosecrans, one can find a
pretty good record of good teams.
Best won and loss record among
these squads are those of New Lex
St. Al's and Holy Trinity but the
other teams are by no means sec
ondary. Lancaster and Zanesville
play hard schedules meeting many
class A teams
At the present time, according to
comparative scores, and they don’t
mean very much, the New Lex
ington team shows the greatest
strength but has yet to prove it
self since the Blue Knights will
meet Lancaster, Holy Trinity and
Rosecrans in that order before the
season’s end. It’s too bad that
these teams couldn't find it
worthwhile to unite in a league. It
would probably prove interesting
and worth while over a period of
years for there are many natural
rivalries among the towns. It
doesn't seem likely however that
this will happen. At any rate, any
one of these teams long with New
ark St. Francis and Columbus St.
Mary is strong enough to pull a
“good draw” in their district meet
and slip through to the finals. In
fact this looks to be the best year
for quite some time. Lancaster.

Newark St. Francis and Columbus St. Charles, co-leaders in the
Central Catholic League, will meet Friday night at the St. Charles
gym in a game for undisputed first place in the loop. Both squads
have five and one league marks. The Carolians handed Newark
their only league defeat in the first meeting of the two, 71-68, in
Newark, last December 18.
Newark, St. Charles Contest
Tops Central Catholic League
The leadership of the Central
Catholic league will go to only one
team this week as the weeks long
three-way deadlock has been brok
en. Columbus St Mary knocked
Springfield Central Catholic's de
fending champs out of the lead last
week with a 51-47 win at the Aquin
as gym.
The Springfield loss left Newark
St. Francis and Columbus St. Char
les on top of the heap with five
and one loop marks. The two clash
Friday night at St. Charles. In an
earlier meeting this season, the
Carolians gave Newark one of its
two losses, 71-68. The other St.
Francis defeat came last week
against Neu- Lexington SI Aloy
sius Next Tuesday Springfield
will meet the Wave in Newark.
St Mary will attempt to make it
two league wins in a row when
they meet Columbus Rosary in the
only other loop contest Friday
night. Tuesday at Springfield,
Mike Capizello’s Tornadoes climb
ed hack on the winning side with
an easy romp over winless Colum
bus Holy Family.
In last week’s action. St. Charles
humbled Holy Family 79-28 in the
Carolian gjm. Joe Endres tallied
26 points and Jack Bafcheck added
12 as the Cards built up a 13-3 lead
at the quarter and 29 10 at the
half. Coach Jack Ryan cleared his
bench while sending tn 11 men and
all of them wound up in the scor
ing column, Elgin was high man
for Holy Family with 12 points.
Newark St. Francis ran over Co
lumbus Rosary 77-58 in Newark
with scoring twins Bobby Franks
and Frank Murphy leading the way
with 15 and 16 points respectively.
The surprise that marked him
a "miracle man” came in the 1952
1953 cage year. Last season the
Flyers had all but been written
off they had lost by graduation
the great Don (Monk) Meineke,
Chuck Grigsby, Pete Boyle, Gene
Joseph, and their roly poly sensa
tion, Captain Leland Norris.
Then the inevitable happened,
Blackburn came up with a team
that, besides playing sparkling ball
throughout the season, scored the
year's top upset—the victory over
the Seton Hall Pirates of South
Orange, N.J.
This season looks much better
for Blackburn and his Flyers. He
started with a squad of 12. Only
two, Don (Mickey) Donoher and
Larry Pedicord, are seniors. Yet
this is a team that has gleaned ex
perience.
Returning to the floor this year
are junior forward Johnny Horan,
whose defensive work is amazing

Blackburn Molds Cage Empire
For The University Davton
There seems to be no doubt that
the "miracle man’’ on the Univer
sity of Dayton campus again this
year is basketball coach Tommy
Blackburn.
The former athlete who once
taught history, is now making it.
Blackburn's record through the
years has been one of progress
and success. In three seasons he
brought the University of Dayton
Flyers out of obscurity into the
national basketball spotlight. He
established a new basketball em
pire with two solid seasons in
which his team won 59 games and
lost only 10.
“Jumping Jack” Salee. Seasoned
players back are Larry Pedicord.
Don Miller, George Woywood, and
Bill Uhl.
A nucleus of the team has had
the experience to put the Dayton
Flyers out in the front ranks, but
inexperience of the sophomores is
a major hurdle Blackburn must
clear.
Blackburn took over at the Uni
versity of Dayton tn 1947. The pre
vious year the school, staffed by
the priests and brothers of the So
ciety of Mary, had won only four
games. Yet at the end of five
years, Blackburn became the third
coach in basketball history to win
100 games in his first five years
in the college field And he man
aged this despite the fact that his
first two teams lost a total of 28
games.
The war interrupted Blackburn’s
coaching career. He served in the
Navy in Tom Hamilton's famed
physical education program and
was discharged as a lieutenant.
Then he came to Dayton.
Prior to the war Blackburn, who
was born in Otway, O., coached all
sports at West Carrollton, O., and
from 1935 until he entered the
service he was

of his career. He is in the midst
of battling a host of the nation's

finest players and he must face
them not only on the Dayton floor,
but on their own courts as well.
But Dayton has come through
