These boys are expected to encounter tough op­position in their fight to retain the Cardinal' Cup. The big tour­nament gets under way tomor­row night at 7:30 o'clock. The President's Welcome There are few things which interest a thoughtful man more than the quality of the youth who will compose the future active citizens of his country. In the fifteen years of Its existence the National Catholic Interscholastic Basketball tournament has afforded the people of Chicago and of the na­tion an unusual opportunity to observe the calibre and character of representative Catholic young men. Tbe record established in these fifteen years by tournament players indicates that the high expectations of those who place their trust in the Catholic system of education have been well justified. There has never been a tournament game in which at least one outstanding example of good sportsmanship has not been shown. Players have uniformly manifested that they have learned well the principles of self control, generosity, co-opera­tion and forbearance which they have been taught --;F;;;-a~t"h:-::c~r -;\;;V-;-;I ;:ls:-::o~n­in their schools. Their gentlemanliness on and off the playing floor has been laudable. In addition, and very Important, the tournament gives those who participate in it an impressive picture of the unity and strength of the great system in which they are receiving their scholastic educa­tions. It is the hope of Loyola university that they wiiJ carry with them always the knowledge of this power which lies in union.

J ., who in his first year as direc­tor has managed to draw to Loyola the cream of the nation's prep cagers. Teams from fourteen states and the District of Columbia will vie for the Cardinal Mundelein tro­phy, given to the winner of the four-day spectacle. Fenwick, current holder of the diadem, returns with a squad seri­ously weakened by the loss of four great players from last season, in­cluding Larry Ryan, selected the most valuable man to his team.

Fitzgerald, assist­ant dean of the University college, has been named chairman of a com­mittee on study clubs and parish activities of the National Catho­lic Alumni Feder-ation, it was an­nounced yester­day by Arthur H u g h e s, presi­dent. Dr. Fitzgerald, who is the author of a number of texts and mono­Or. Fitzgerald graphs in educa­tion, is also vice­president of the Chicago chapter of the federation. At a meeting of the committee held in Chicago, a plan was drawn up for the organization of study clubs in Catholic parishes which would stimulate interest in current day problems. The initial contest matches Mar­quette and St. Bede's, and off the records appears a toss-up game. The Milwaukee lads won their tough conference championship while dropping only one game dur­ing the year, and they present a big squad averaging above the six­foot mark. The Bedans, on the other hand, although small, hold the niinols state title, as well as the Mid-West Private School cham­pionship, both won in trying tour­nament play. Xavier in Action The 8:30 fracas is another top­notcher, bringing together Xavier and Central Catholic. Coached by Bob Schuhmann, former Loyola university ace, the Tigers from Louisville have soared far over the 1,000 point mark this season in winning 31 games and dropping only one. They are a definite tour­ney threat, but may receive trou­ble at the hands of Central, third place team in the tough Indiana state tournament. (Continued on page 5, col. 5) PAGE 2 Father Lord States Convention Belongs To Representatives Ed Marciniak, Arts junior, will lead the opening discussion of the Seventh Students Spiritual Lead­ership Convention to be held in Chicago, March 26-27 . The regional session will meet at the Morrison hotel under the auspices of Cisca . George Fleming, Arts senior and president of Cisca, will open the convention with an address of welcome. Fleming will also act as chairman of the convention com­mittee. Assisting him with the ar­rangements are Edward Marciniak, Austin Walsh, Paul Gallagher, Dorothy Fitzgerald and Catherine Heerey, from Mundelein college; Genevieve Flynn, from Rosary; Anna Marie Fawcett, of St. Xavier college; John Harkenrider, from Loretta academy and David Scan­lan from De Paul university. Father Lord Says The Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. J., editor of the Q~teen's Work and national leader of sodality activi­ties, describes the convention in a letter, to sodality leaders through­out the country, ". . . as always, the students will run the whole Convention. They will do the talk­ing. They will lead the discussions. They will present the resolutions and accept or reject them as they see best. This is their Conven­tion . " Twenty-five L o y o 1 a students, outstanding leaders in Chicago so­dality activities, are expected to take an active part in the discus-sions. George Fleming Says George Fleming, leader of the convention, said, "Two thousand representatives will be present; some as far as West Virginia and St. Paul." He also announced that both days will be opened with Mass at 9 in the morning. Father Lord, national leader of the convention will preside. Others attending will include the Rev. J. Rodger Lyons, S. J. , Rev. Edward Dowling, S. J., Rev. George Mac­Donald, S. J., members of the staff of the Queen's Work, and the Rev. Martin Carrabine, S. J., moderator of Cisca. Special 1\leetings Divisional and special sectional meetings will be held in which the training of student Catholic action workers will be discussed as well as the work being done in the vari­ous fields of Catholic action. Cisca Censors to Lead Attack on Lewd Magazines The Loyola members of the lit­erature co=ittee of Cisca held a meeting in the student lounge last Wednesday. Plans for censoring the sale of salacious magazines on the newsstands, principally in the neighborhood of the University, were discussed. Charles Strubbe, Arts senior and chairman of the committee, led the discussion. "Immediate action is what we want," said Strubbe. He said that several of the stands have stopped the sale of these magazines. "But there are some who will persist in selling the mag­azines and these will either be re­moved from the stands, or students will be asked to stop trading at these places," concluded Strubbe. Other prominent Ciscans who were present at this meeting were George Fleming and Ted Tracy, Arts seniors, Ed Marciniak, Arts junior, and Art Fenner, Arts soph­omore.

These organiza­tions are giving a joint concert at St. Clara's auditorium Thurs­day evening.

The problem to date, however, seems to center itself about the question as to just what type of dance it should be. Last year a very succes sful "penny-a-pound" dance was held. A similarly novel dance is under consideration. Sug­gestions submitted so far seem to indicate that both Sophs and Frosh are in favor of an "Old Clothes" dance. In the early future a contest will be sponsored by the commit­tee, in order to obtain the best name for this gala occasion. Sev­eral names for the dance have come in so far, examples of which are "The Recession Hop," and "The Collegiate Trot."

Dean Fitzgerald Participates in NLRB Panel Acting Dean John C. Fitzgerald of the School of Law took part in a panel discussion of the National Labor Relations Act with Mr. Al­bert Stemwedel and Mr. Arthur White, before the St. Ignatius Men's club last night. Particularly emphasized throughout the discus­sion was the right of the workers to organize as outlined in the law. Mr. Ambrose Kelly, president of the club, is an alumnus of Loyola university and of the School of Law. As a student on the Arts campus he was one of the original editors of the Loyola News. Shelley--- (Continued from page 1, col. 2) from loss due to fraud or misman­agement. That attorneys and the general public are constantly becoming more appreciative of the dangers which can be circumvented through the use of the escrow is amply demonstrated Mr. Shelley believes, by the steadily increasing amount of business handled by his depart­ment. Mr. Robert E. Haskins, president of the Day Law student council presided at the convocation and introduced the speaker. He also announced that another convoca­tion is to be held next Thursday morning at ten o'clock, the speak­er for which has not yet been def­initely determined. The question was the Pi Kappa Delta choice, Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board Should Be Empowered to Arbi­trate in All Industrial Disputes. Next Saturday morning a team from Northwestern university will be opposed by Charles Schaar and Dick Wienke, on the affirmative and Tim Dillon and Joe Warchol on the negative of the N. L. R. B. question. This is the second meet­ing between teams from both of these schools and thus terminates their debate relations for this sea­son. Debate Manager Kogstad an­nounced at last week's meet­ing cJf the forum that there are exhibition debates scheduled for this month with two girls' high schools of the city and also that there will be a radio debate with John Marshall college early in April. He also said that there is a tentative road trip for the first week in April. It will consist of two debates in Milwaukee with Marquette university on Friday afternoon and Mount Mary college on the following Saturday evening. Fr. Wilson Attends F. I. C. at Wheaton The Rev. Samuel Knox Wilson, S. J., president of the University, attended a meeting of the Federa­tion of Illinois Colleges at Wheaton college on Friday, March 18. Father Wilson is a member of the execu-tive committee. ' A "Candle Light Brigade," 250 strong, marched into the library of the University of California at Los Angeles in protest against the in­adequate lighting facilities of the building. Actor Iartln Svagllc, Arts senior and president of the Curtain Guild, who has been assigned a leading role in the Guild's ]>ro­duction, "Petticoat Fever.'' Arts Classical Group Holds Social Meeting The Classical club of the Arts college held an informal meeting in the student lounge last Wednes­day evening. Fifteen students and Mr. John M . Melchiors, assistant professor of classical languages, attended the meeting. Three talks on subjects drawn from ancient times were given. Later beer was served and a dis­cussion of the talks followed. James Cutler, Arts sophomore, gave a survey of the science of archeology, and the methods fol­lowed by archeologists. Frank Ho­henadel, Arts senior, gave a talk on Alcibiades, Athenian exile. Frank pointed out that Alciblades, while he was of a most unscrupu­lous sort, nevertheless excelled all his fellow citizens in personal charm and natural abilities . John Devaney, Arts sophomore, deliv­ered a talk on Roman life and morals in the later day of the Em­pire. The next meeting Is scheduled for Thursday evening, April 7, in the student lounge. George Masek, Arts junior, is president of the club. Clinics--- (Continued from page 1, col : 3) Psychiatric Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, and Dr. Klein' s Life Adjustment Clinic of Washington, D. C . An interesting afternoon was also spent at the Catholic University of America as guests of the Rev. Thomas V. Moore, who is at present working on his new book Cognitive Psy­chology. Clinic methods and procedures were observed by Dr. Law and his associates. Father Moore pointed out the need for Catholic clinics and Catholic psychiatrists. Father Moore states the non-Catholic does not understand the Catholic mind and too often the Catholic does not express himself. The Adult Psychiatric Clinic of the Loyola University School of Medicine functions primarily to serve the need of Catholics but no distinction is made regarding race, creed, or color. The clinic will oc­cupy its new quarters at the Loy­ola University School of Medicine, 706 South Wolcott street, Monday, March 7, 1938. Francis J . Gerty, M. D., is the medical director. Scanning Social Work •• G en e rally speaking, social work­ers are an interesting group of people-but when one sees a por­tion of them gathered together for a day of quiet meditation and pray­er, they become absolutely fasci­nating. Our Day of Recollection, held in the University college on Sunday, March 13, brought this fact gently home to all of us. Per­haps the atmosphere had some­thing to do with the pious atti­tudes portrayed, for the confer­ences were held in one of the class­rooms of the University college that had been converted into a cozy chapel for the occasion. The tiny altar upon which Mass was celebrated faced the group as would a charming teacher garbed in white and gold. And those at­tending the services forgot their official titles in the field of social work, and knelt as a group of school children, seeking council and guidance in their chosen work. Hear Father Barton The Rev. Elmer A. Barton, S. J ., dean of the School of Social Work, addressed the assembly on three occasions during the day. In his informal, friendly manner, Father Barton discussed the attributes of the ideal social worker. He advised workers to practice the virtue of charity in dealing with c I i en t s - empha&izing the Catholic case work principle of re­garding the client on a level with the worker, since we believe in the Brotherhood of Christ-charity in regarding the information secured from clients as necessarily confi­dential. Aside from the charitable attitude, the worker was told to be reliable and efficient. Various organizations were rep­resented at the Sunday services. A group of prominent workers from the Polish Welfare Bureau and a large percentage of the workers of the Catholic Charities Bureau were among those attending the Day of Recollection. New Faculty Members The Loyola University School of Social Work welcomes two new members to the faculty. Miss Eliza­beth B . Lloyd, recently of Seattle, Wash., and a graduate of the Loy­ola University School of Social Work, has been appointed director of field work. Stately and smiling, she has already endeared herself to all . The other faculty member is Mr. Roman Hrimsky, of the Catholic University of Washington. Mr. Hrirnsky will teach courses in ju­venile delinquency and neighbor­hood organization. International Relations Club Discusses Japan The International Relations club, with Dr. Edward P. Lilly, instruc· tor in the department of history, as moderator, met last Wednesday afternoon to discuss the Sino­Japanese situation. Raymond Shepanek, Arts senior, read a paper dealing with the American diplomatic attitude to­ward the disturbance and the rei· ative interest of the United State& in the struggle. Charles Nesbitt, Arts junior, followed this with a recapitulation of the events of the war up to the present time and a discussion of the attitude of the world powers in regard to this Oriental strife. He also pointed out something of the character and philosophy of the Chinese and Japanese people and the effect of this on the war. An open discussion followed.

Three Debates For Varsity Are Scheduled The varsity debating society took part in three contests last week, debating the National Labor Relations Board question. On Monday Richard Fink and Charles O'Laughlin, Arts seniors, met a New York university team in the student lounge in a non­decision debate. Wednesday saw a negative team from Lake Forest debating here, and a negative team from Loyola at Lake Forest in a home-and-home set-up. D ebates This Week Three debates are scheduled for this week; two of them being with Quincy college on Thursday, and one, affirmative, with the unde­feated Vermont university team on Friday. According to David Toomlm, Arts senior and manager of the squad, final plans have been drawn tor the trips to be made in April. A group composed of Mr. Hugh Rod­man, S. J., debate coach and in­structor in the department of Eng­lish, John Vader, Arts senior, and John Overbeck and Paul Sylvester, Arts juniors, will leave April 18 tor a three-day tour which will In­clude debates with St. Xavier at Cincinnati, Detroit university, and Western State Teachers college at Kalamazoo. Eastern Trip The other trip will be made by Toomlm, Charles Strubbe, Arts senior and president of 'the debat­Ing society, and Peter Conway and Edward Marclnlak, Arts juniors, from April 19 to April 26. Their stops will include Mt. Mercy col­lege at Pittsburgh, Bucknell at Lewisburg, Pa., Rutgers university at New Brunswick, N. J ., New York university, Niagara univer­sity, and John Carroll university. Having a girl during Spring quarter, calculates a math wizard at the University of Minnesota, Is equivalent to carrying 10 extra hours, for which you get some credit but no honor points. Set Naghten Debate Date Tournament Climaxes Season for L. U. Debaters The John Naghten debate con­test will begin its 38th year of ex­istence on Thursday, March 31, when the preliminary trials will be held. Under the direction of Mr. Hugh Rodman, S. J., varsity debate coach, the annual affair is limited to members of the wrangling club and the CUdahy forum. The finals \viii be held before the entire cam­pus assembly on Thursday, April 1 in the Alumni gymnasium. Highlight of Season The Naghten contest Is the year­ly highlight of the Loyola debat­ing season, and brings together the pick of local speakers. Al­though the usual affirmative and negative teams compete against each other on the tloor, a judge se­lects the best debater of the group, and to him is awarded the gold key and the title of Loyola uni­versity debate champion. The first contest was held In 1901 when It was founded by John Naghten, and has continued every year since then. The first winner was Joseph A. Graber. He was followed by Martin J. McEvoy in 1902 and John P. Hall the follow­ing year. More recently, the contest was won by James Yore in 1934, Ed­ward Schramm In '35, George Fleming, present Arts senior and Harrison Oratorical champ In '36, and Willlam A. Rye in the last year. Rye was also Harrison win­ner last year. Notable Winners Among the most noted speakers to seize the coveted honor was the 1906 winner, William M. Magee, who Is now the Rev. William Magee, S. J., provincial of the Chi­cago province of tbe Society of Jesus. Mr. Rodman has not as yet se­lected a critic judge for the de­bate. That all electrical u t i II t I e s should be owned and operated by the government, Is the question. This question has been the leading Issue of the country for the pre­ent year, and was the same Issue used by many national debaters for the past montbs. The judges will select the con­testants on various points. Among the points to be considered are I Director I Council Sets ' --- Up New Rules Latin Contest Plans Made by Father Mertz The annual Intercollegiate Latin contest for male undergraduate students of the ten Jesuit colleges of the Chicago and Missouri prov­inces will be held this year on Thursday, March 31. The contest will be held, as usual, in the Elizabeth M. Cudahy library under the direction of the Rev. James J. Mertz, S. J., profes­sor and chairman of the depart­ment of classical languages.

The latter Ia taken in the morning session, which lasts for For Election of a new technique marks the election to take place on Tuesday, March 29, for the offices of the Arts student council. In a student council meet­ing held last week a resolution was passed by the representatives whereby the new electoral methods came into existence. Separate polling places will be designated for each class. Here the students will register in pre­scribed manner. Only after correct and accurate registration will the voters be given ballots which must be cast according to strict regula­tions set down by the council. Each candidate for office will be represented at the polling places in order that any unfair practices may be detected and stopped. It will be the duty of the candidates' representatives to insure fairness. Likewise when the votes are counted, the candidates' represen­tatives will be present to chal­lenge all doubtful ballots. The candidates for president and vice-president are William O'­Brien, Thomas Bums, and Edward O'C&llahan, Arts juniors. For the office of secretary William Wendt, James Gill, and George Stecy, Arts sophomores, hnve been nom­inated. Ray Dougherty, Robert Bremer, and Edward Shell, Arts freshmen, have been named by their class as candidates for the office of treasurer. Dr. Zabel Edits Book on Criticism two hours; the former comprises --- ­the matter of the afternoon session of an hour and a half. Contestants in the competition will include all members of upper­class Latin courses. Among these are Theodore Tracy, Arts senior, and Richard Garvey and George Masek, Arts juniors. All of these men are honors students in the department of classical languages. The Judges The papers will be judged by Father Mertz and Mr. John Mel­chiors, assistant professor of clas­sical languages. The three best es­says will be sent to West Baden college. Literary Opinion in America, edited by Dr. Morton D. Zabel, pro­fessor and chairma.• of the depart­ment of English, has been Issued recently.

SPECIAL FEATURE WRITERS James Supple Buster HarUein George Fleming On tho A.;,lo Ho·Htvm w;,dom They Foster Vol. XIV March 22, 1938 No. 21 • Neero Problem Challenees Catholics Methodist leaders called a conference re­cently to lay plans for the unification of the southern Methodist Church with the north­ern body. The two groups have been separ­ated since the Civil War. But it seems that there was one obstacle. A union would de­mand the social equality of the negro, and prominent Methodist ministers objected. A sad commentary on a church that professes to be Christian and yet refuses to "love its neighbor." But how is it that the Methodist Church can number millions of negroes within its fold and still deny the brotherhood of Christ, while the Catholic Church, with the only un­compromising and radical program of inter­racial justice, can count only 250,000 Cath­olics among the 13,000,000 negroes in this country. Archbishop McNicholas of Cincin­nati, adequately explained the situation when he said, "We have not closed our doors to the Negro, but we have not thrown them wide open." Going to a theatre with misgiv­ings often has its compensations for on occa sion one may be pleas­a nt ly surprised and there are few things more pleasant than the pleasant surpr ise. This reviewer went to see Father M alachy's M ir­acle with much doubt in his mind because the Marshall novel in itself did not seem pa rt icularly good play material, but when I left the Har­r is theatre after seeing Brian Do­herty's dramatization, I was con· vinced that I had just seen a de· lightful play with excellent humor deftly presented. The Delos Chap­pell F ather Malachy's Miracle is second only to the Evans Richard amongst the shows of the season. The stress in the drama tization of Mr. Marshall's novel has been placed on the book's comic values and this is a wise stress indeed; it is the comic value of the Malachy story that is its greatest asset. Mr. Doherty has managed to retain all the humor Mr. Marshall had and he has added much more himself without detracting from the play's artistic value. The play, as a re· suit, emerges as an unusually fun· ny comedy with an ease and s elf­assurance that one would never ex­pect a play of this type to have. Entertainment Value Judged solely as a dramatization and as a play Father Malachy's Miracle is not a particularly great play whose fame will be everlast­ing, but judged by any standards it is a good play with much enter­tainment value. The principal source of this entertainment value is in its characters rather than in its plot situations. This play is filled with interesting characters, characters with a reality which few other characters in recent plays possess. Father Malachy, Mr. Hamilton, Bishop Gillespie, Car­dinal Vassena, Canon Geoghegan, and Father Flaherty are all vivid, fascinating men. These characters may on occasion seem to digtess from the story itself but they are so real, and what they have to say is so interesting, that one doesn't mind the digression in the least and does not care whether the story itself is finished or not. There are those who think that Father Malachy's Miracle with its amusing clergy is a satire on the Church but this it is definitely not. It is primarily a satire on the rest of the world, a world so zany and crackpot that it finds a miracle ab­solutely beyond its comprehension. Mr. Mar shall shows that the world has progressed so steadily away f rom the spiritual that it is com­pletely befuddled by a miracle. The world, he shows, cannot believe a nything, not even its own eyes. The world is like Mr. Ma rsha ll's Sam Hicks, the Amer ican pro­moter , who says to Father Malachy "What's the t rick ?" and then tries to cash in on the sensational fea­tures that accompanied the miracle that transplanted "The Garden of Eden" night club twenty miles out into the sea. Mr. Marshall seems to say that Father Malachy is the one sane man in the entire play, the one man who has a true knowledge of spiritual values. Excellent Cast F ather M alachy's M iracle is beautifully acted by a large and splendid cast. This cast is as sur­prisingly good as was the cast for Tonight at 8:30. The players are for the most part Americans but they seem completely Scotch and un-American. They seem as au­thentically Scotch as the Abbey Players are authentically Irish and this alone sets them apart as ex­cellent actors. AI Shean's Father Malachy is as honest and valid an interpretation as that part will ever receive. Mr. Shean plays the role with a technical skill that sur­prises since his background has been entirely different; he under­stands and sympathizes with much in the role which one would or­dinarily expect only a Catholic to understand. AI Shean's perform­ance is definitely something to see. Realistic Settings Delos Chappell has spared no ex­pense on either cast or setting. The settings, which are on the realistic side, are excellent. The living room of the Canon's home is a splendid blend of the authentic and the slightly satirical. Father Malachy's Miracle is one play which should be on the "must list" of everyone interested in good theatre. The novel has been dram­atized well and the production it­self leaves little to be desired. Be sure to see Father Malachy's Mir­acle for it is both funny and beau­tiful and in so being it is fulfilling the requirements of that highest type of comedy which so seldom graces our stages.

It was a strange farm . It consisted of one li : hundred acres of cabbages. Down the road sauntered Manhattan college of Brooklyn has taken steps in this direction through the founda­tion of a scholarship fund for negro students. The negro will not mistake such concrete evi­dence of the sincerity of Catholics. The Com­munists have been able to win a great many negroes to a false ideal merely by transform­ing into action what they said about inter­racial justice. The success of the Communists ought to serve as further incentive to Catholic Action in the cause of our colored brothers in Christ. How can the Church be truly Catholic if the great body of 13,000,000 negroes have not had "the gospel preached to them." If the reviews and our memory of the book from which it is taken are any criteria, Chicago Catholics have the opportunity to witness this week a play which should pro­vide them with enjoyment and a deeper appreciation of their faith. We talk from those standpoints when we say that if Father Mala­city's Miracle on the stage comes anywhere near to its predecessor on the printed page, it must be a splendid bit of Catholic drama. It is hard to ask you to override the traditions of Lent, but at the least, we can say that those who do override them seem insured a good time, and that those who stay home can do much worse than to be led to the brilliant and thor-oughly charming novel from which Loyola university has long been hailed as it is taken. the leader among the Catholic schools of the • • * Chicago area in matters pertaining to Cisca The fact that the officers of the and Catholic Action.

Proportional representation makes an end of minority domina­tion, and at the same time, gives to the minority its full rights. If followed out correctly by every elector it results in giving effect to the wishes of all but a negligi­ble portion of the electorate. This can be seen more clearly when it is applied to a legislative body than to single officers as at Loy­ola, though even here its value can be demonstrated. At the very least, the system has sufficient in its favor to make us very convinced of the Impor­tance of a study of it by every student of Loyola interested in his student government, or in the fu­ture of public affairs in the na­tion. And since those categories should include every student and every citizen, the conclusion be­comes rather obvious. * • * So much talk about Fascism has gone about the campus that we hesitate to add to it.

They looked slyly over their little white shoulders, hesi­tated, and then ran into the patch and began to nibble on cabbages. They ate, and ate, and ate, until they were filled up to there. Then they were so happy, and all filled up with cabbage and altruism, that they ran back to Bunnyburg and got all their relatives and in-laws. And they came to the Jones place, and ate, and ate, and ate, until they were filled up to there. And the fame of the Jones place spread all through the bunny people that Spring evening, and bunnies fiocked there from far and wide, and ate, and ate, and ate, until they were all filled up to there. And soon the moon disappeared behind the horizon, and the first faint gray streaks of dawn appeared in the Eastern sky. Off in the barnyard a rooster crowed dismally. He was an un­happy rooster who couldn't get a date, because he had a face that would stop a cluck. All the little bunnies stopped eating now, because they didn't want to get caught by Mr. Jones. And anyway, there wasn't any more cabbage in the field. It was all in their itsy-bitsy tummie-tum-tums. Then Farmer Jones looked out the window, and lo and behold, all the cabbages were gone. He shouted with anger: "Where are all my cabbages? I wonder where they went? Who stole them?" His wife didn't know she said. Neither did the constable. But you and i know, don't we, gentle readers?

Buster SPORTS THE LOYOLA NEWS, MARCH 22, 1938 Prep For Fifteenth Annual Cage Meet r --- ~ --- ~ --- ~G========================;====~·· --- s eein' Mermen Vote ll Redmen Out for Scalps !/ Quints from S t Marty O' South, ~ast por s , . Impressive with JACK REILLY 39 Captazn The immortals in Loyola's hall of fame are moving over these days to make room in their midst for a slx-foot bundle of basketball dynamite named "Wibs" Kautz. For in a recent issue of Collyer's Eye, national sports magazine, the sensational Rambler guard re­ceived top cage honors by being selected to the all-American team annually chosen by that mag. • The choice of Kautz is to all M id-Western basket followers a natural one, as the lad has dem­o nstrated time after time that he p ossesses versatility at this game. The driving force of his play, the b rilliant shooting, clever defensive work and inspirational pep he con­tinually exhibits are comparable to that of any other player in the country. And this isn't merely the writer's opinion but that of veteran newspaper men and cage experts who ough t to know. In selecting the Loy ola man to the fi rst team the magazin e rated him ove r every player in Ame rica except Hank Lnlsetti, a nd t h ere is certainly no dis­grace In being second to the Stanford ace, w ho is gener a ll y conced ed to be the great est col­lege performe r e.-e r to don bas­k etball sh oes. Kautz was d eemed su perior over the season to both Je\~e ll Young, fl ash y Purd ue fo r­ward, and J ohn ny i\I oir, three­year -star of Notre D ame univer­si t y. Although only a junior at pres­ent, "Wibs" demonstrated his abil­ity as early as his sophomore year, when he set a new Loyola scoring mark of 187 points. This season he raised that record to 289 points, over 100 points above the old total. What he will do to that mark in his senior year is the subject of much happy comment by Loyola's basketball followers. E very team which has faced the Sachsmen during the past season was forced, willingly or unwilling­ly, to acknowledge the Rambler guard. George Washington univer­s ity, one of the strongest quints in t h e East and foes of the locals in three games this year, unanimously voted h im t he outstanding player t o oppose t hem during '37 - '38. Walter E . Dobbins, sports writer o f a Lincoln (Nebraska) paper, commenting on Kautz' appearance there, had t h e following to say: "Wilbert Kautz , Loy ola.'s nom­ina tion for a ll -Ame ri can honors, lived up to ad vance exp ect a tions. H e chalked up 2 0 points a nd was the near est a pproaclt t o Chuc k Hyatt, form e r Pitt s t ar, that this w riter h as ever seen. . . .

M a r t y O'Shaughnessy, Arts sophomore and two-year veteran swimmer, was elected captain of the natators last week for the sec­ond straight year. O'Shaughnessy finished fourth in the scoring for the present season. The scoring for the season dis­closed that top honors in that de­parement went to Max Shapiro , stocky little junior from the Med school. Shapiro stored up 72 1 ~ points to easily set the pace over the ten meets. He swam the fifty and hundred free style and the sprint relay. Second place went to Ray Dougherty, freshman diving star, who piled up 56 1 , tallies while per­forming in the fancy twisting and the crawl events. Bob McKeever, freshman distance ace, and Cap­tain Marty O'Shaughnessy, back­stroker, took over third and fourth places, respectively. Others who placed high up ln the marking were AI Burke, soph­omore breaststroker, Ted "Bub­bles" Ahnger, War ren Matt and Ebby Corboy. Morrell S cheid, Arts senior, is the only graduating member of the squad. Results: "' . s:: "' ·a !J-g~ p.

When the mermen were combed out of the pool and wrung out, the final re­sult was 46-29 against them. Armour, swimming faster and more consistently than their first encounter here, took six out of eight events to put the affair on ice. The only Loyolans to cop the nod were Warren Matt, who swam another phenomenal race in the breaststroke to defeat the re­nowned Svagdis of Armour in the time of 1:14, and Ray Dougherty, who flashed the best performance of his life to take the diving by a wide margin. Other R a m b I e r point-getters were Bob McKeever with a second in the 220 free style; Max Shapiro, runnerup in the century dash; a nd Marty O'Shaughnessy, second in the backstroke. The meet was the third defeat of the year, compared with seven wins, which left the Wilson fishes with a .700 average for the best mark in three years. Comparing h im to H yatt, who h as been an all-American for the p ast eight years in college and A. A. U. ball is high compliment.

"I wish it was as easy to decide as what blonde I like," he added with a sly wink. Martin O'Shaughnessy, black­headed columnist, picks St. Xavier of Louisville, Ky. "I have a first cousin going to that school," he declared proudly, "and he writes me that it is the best team they've had in the six years he's been there. How do you like my column?" Shrinking Dave Toomim, star re­write man, had gone about the matter methodically, as always, and looked up from maze of figures to answer my blunt query.
