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.

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.

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. Name and Type Puzzles O'Shaughnessy, Soph President Plans for the annual soph-frosh dance, to be held in the Alumni gym n a s i u m immediately after L ent, are well under way, according to a recent announcement by Marty O'Shaughnessy, Arts sophomore and president of the clas s. 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.

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.

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?

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.

The team shows three forwards, two centers, and three guards. The forwards are Johnnie Hughes, Alpha Delt captain, Bob Dore, Gaels, and Dave Toomim, Dolan Rocks. The centers are Bill Looney, Alpha Delts, and Chuck O'Laughlin, Pi Alphs. Guards are Gil DeMilliano, Dolan Rocks captain, Bill Ryan, Zephyrs, and L ou Benedict, Gaels. Other men who merited mention by the judges were Molly McCourt, Gaels, Bob Chivone, Loyolans, Dick Sierks, Dolan Rocks, Sam Marrotta, Pi Alphs, Tom Cuniff, Meteors, and J im Cullen, Alpha Delta.

"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. According to advanced algebra, the answer is X and Dave gazed at me, puzzlement misspelled on his swarthy face. "What team begins with X? At first I thought of St. Zavler, that seems to be the closest letter. Oh dear!" Roger Gelderman is going to play his hunch- the St. Steven's Indian quintet.

Another perenial favorite, Reitz Memorial, Evansville, Ind., entry, clashes with a newcomer, Central Catholic of Wheeling, W . Va., in the semi-windup Thursday afternoon. Reitz lost to St. Mary's of Anderson in the finals of the Hoosier state tourney after holding a lead of 12 points at one period of the game. Immaculate Conception High of Trenton, N.

Tournament Teams Show Fine Records Eastern, Southern Teams Challenge Mid-West Supremacy BY MARTY O'SHAUGHNESSY With thirty-two state, district and city champs set to battle it out for the national crown tomorrow night, it is virtually impossible to pick a favorite BUT here are some of the standouts among an all-star field: Xavier of Louisville-Coached by Bob Schuhmann, who starred on the great Sachs machine of predepression days. This green-garbed, hard-fighting outfit are gunning for their third national crown. Schuhmann, who produced an alltime tournament ace in Phil Reverman three years ago when the Kentuckians last copped, has come up with the outstanding team of the middle south. This quintet has rolled up thirty victories without a defeat to establish themselves as a definite threat to the title. 1136-Count 'Em From the deep south comes the high-geared five of Catholic High of Baton Rouge, La. Losing only two games out of 31, the southerners have accumulated 1,136 points against 646 for their opponents. The east is sending several outstanding quints to wrestle the Cardinal's Cup from the rest of the nation. St. Mary's of Paterson, New Jersey, with a mark of 21 wins and only one loss, will offer the opposition plenty of the famous Atlantic seaboard style of play. Another St. Mary's squad will prove formidable, the Dunkirk team from New York returning for a pressing engagement in the final round. Among the outstanding feats of the Empire State lads was the routing of the Canisius college freshmen. Three close decisions have been registered against St. Mary's a s compared with sixteen wins. Indians Again Once again the far west sends its war-whooping, scalp-getting, Indians in quest of the great coup. It's the St. Francis Mission redskins off on the warpath.
