School Officials Reach Decision

Appointment Effective At Once

A r ecent announcement in the uNew World" called to our attention the ac­complishments of two St. Viator Col­lege Alumni whose importance in t he ecclesiastical affairs of the Peoria Diocese has been and w ill be very great. The Very Reverend Gerald T. Bergan, '14, has been appointed to succeed the Very Reverend James J. Shannon, '83, as Vicar General of the Peoria Diocese. The appointment took place on December 12th, 1927, after Father Shannon had felt the need of retiring for a time from his activities and undergoing treatment for a nerv­ous di sorder with which he has been afflicted for some years following an automobile accident. "The appoint­ment of the Rev. Father Bergan to this responsible position," s tates the j(New World," "is another important step in the progress of a zealous and gifted churchman ," a s tatement which we heartily second.

Very i\ev. Gerald T . Bergan

At a meeting of the Athletic Di­rectors of the Catholic High Schools Qf the State of Illinois held recently at the request of the Board of Control of the Loyola National Catholic Tournament committee, St. Viator Academy was selected as the place a t which the Illinois Elimination Tourna­ment will be held. The decision was reached after a lengthy and rather h eated argument between representa­tives of four institutions, St. Bede's Academy, Spaulding Institute, St. Mary's and St. Viator's, who were bidding for the conference. St. Via­tor Academy was represented at the meeting by Rev. J. W. Maguire, c. s. v., Rev. E. M. Kelly, c. s. v. , and Coach William Barrett. The splendid facilities for the Tournament which St. Viator College and Academy offers , together with the argumentative abi l­ity of Father Maguire, ultimately won Very R ev. James J. Shannon the cause for Viator. - - ::::--- - ------ ---

Senior class smoker finally took place on Thursday, December 15th. The af­fair was a decided success from every point of view. Although the commit· t ee and the class are to be congratu­lated on the results of this, the first social event of the class of '28, the evening would not ha ve proved half so pleasant were it not f or the aid of Mrs. William Barrett and Miss Legris who prepared the refreshments.

Conference Swimming Meet W ill Be Held

At St . Viator In March

Colleges of the "Little 19" Con­ference Will Part icipate

At a recent meeting of the Little Nineteen Athletic Conference St. Via­tor was picked as the scene of the first official I. I. A. C. swimming meet. The date for the meeting of the swimmers has been set for March 17th. The College hopes to have t he meet conducted by some nationally known swimming star. Viator is one of the only school s in t he conference that boasts of a large t ank at the present time, having a thoroughly modern pool seventy-fi ve by thirty-two feet. Invitations will be sent out im~ mediately to all conference schools and a worthwhile representation from many schools will undoubtedly at­tend the inaugural. St. Viator College has been preparing ita men for the last month for tbe meet, and although this is the first venture of the kind attempted, a number of boys are de­veloping rapidly.

In publishing such a n honor ro ll , Father Cardinal is re-ins tituting an old custom at St. Viator. Honor rolls are published in numerous College magazines and pap­ers. Illinoi s Universit y, in particular, has long made it a practice to pub­lish such an honor roll and has found the plan to be successful. The fol­lo,ving standard has been selected for determining the eligibility to the Honor Roll.

TITO SCHIPA GIVES EXCELLENCE MEDALS

FOR ITALIAN CLASS Premier Tenor Endows

Four Italian C!asses W ith Awards

The 'Commendatore Chevalier' Tito Schipa has endowed the Italian De­partment of St. Viator College with four artis t ic a nd highly valued medals, one for each of the four Ital ian classes. The medals will be awarded to the four students who most distin­guish themselves in the study of the Italian language. The meda ls have been especially coined for this pur­pose . On one s ide they bear the fea­tures of the dona tor and on the other side the words "Tito Schipa Prize" are engraved.

Mr. Tito Schipa is the brilliant tenor of the Chicago Civic Opera Com­pany. He began his career as a litt le choir boy and, through long and dif­fi cult training, has developed into "the greatest living lyric tenor" and is termed by other critics as "the tenor with the angeli c voice."

Th e Viatorian extends to Mr. Schipa the thanks and appreciation of the students and faculty for the recogni­tion w hich he has made of the Italian classes of St. Viator College. It is expected that the awards which Mr. Schipa has presented will prove to be powerful incentives to the students of the language class, and that competi­tion for the medals will be close and exacting.

The first page of the issue contained freshman essays · o.ri Christmas cus­toms in various European- countries; two Christmas · poems, the season's greetings, a cut of St. Viator, and the announcement that the State Catholic Basketball Tournament had been se­cured for St. Viator Academy. The second sheet was taken up with the weekly editorial, a staff personnel, and a review of the A!.cademy's press history.

Excellent Form In Hard Game

Great Defensive Game; Viator Wins In Last Half

The v a rs ity tossers emerged victoriously las t nig ht after a long, hard-foug ht game with De­K a lb Norma l. Fro m b eginning to end the winner was never cer­tain until the final whistle show­ed Viator leading b y the n a rrow marg in of three points. Both teams playe d r emarkable b ask e t ­b a ll. The five-man defense was used to fine a dvantage by D e­Kalb, and Via tor kept the op­ponents from winning by using a close man-to-m a n style of play. The game was unusually fast a nd rough so that each team showed plainly the e ffects of a g rea t strain and frequent tum­bles.

Viator Leads At Half D e K alk opene d the scoring

with a short shot after working the ball down the floor from center. Captain O ' M a lley began the scoring for Viator on a free throw. From tha t time on the game was a game of wits ; each team closely followin g the op­ponents a nd car e fully guarding the forwards in particular. Viator seldom r esorted to long shots, but DeKalb m ade the majority of their points by attempts from mid-floor. Afte r ruhsing some fresh men into the game, Viator surged ahead of the visitors and ended th e firs t half o n the long edn of a 1 3 to 6 score.

DeKalb Gains Both teams seem e d better able

to score immediately after the starting whistle of the second half was blown. Within a few minutes Viator had raised their tota l to seventeen, and shortly after D e K alb hurried up the list to t ie the score. A period of careful play on both sides fol­lowed. Guarding w as so close tha t it w as almost impossible for e ither team to get a shot. The playe rs were so nearly fagged by the te rrific p ace of the c ontest that they could barely keep their feet, but somehow they did stay up , without noticeably diminish­ing their e fforts. Via tor finally brok e the ice by sinking a field goal for a two point lead. A few minutes la t er Viator scored a fre e throw a nd D eKalb calle d time out. When play was r esumed, Viator n a bbed the b a ll, and, by means o f clever passing a nd s ta lling, succeeded in main taining the lead until the g un c racked on the closing second. Jus t as the final shot was fir ed, a Viator p layer fouled his oppon en t, but the free-throw was not a success.

High-lights On The Game The game was an exhibition

of great basketball. D eKalb h ad a five-man d efense that could hardly be surpassed. In add itio n to this, their long-armed guards and center seemed to b e able to nab the ball whenever they p leased . H owever, Viator kept the passes low a nd short a nd accu rate so that the opponents did n o t, by a ny means h a ve free play with the sphere. If D eKalb had the edge on Viator when it came to guarding. Viato r had a decided edge on DeKalb in sh ooting. D eK a lb lo n g shots,

St. Ignatius, Chicago Wins First Game

From Viator Academy The Academy squad lost the first

game of the regular season to St. Ignatius of Chicago, 20 to 5. The Viatorians lost the battle, not be­cause they were notably weaker than the Chicagoans , but because they were overly anxious, nervou s, a nd very inaccurate in their shots. In their excited endeavors to stop Col­bert, the flashy Ignatian center and captain, they too often fou led him. Since he sank an average of four out of every five of these free throws, this frequent fouling did the Barrett­men no good.

Cody, Singler, and Senica turned in fair exhibitions for St. Viator. Their only fau lt was that they simply did not seem able to locate the basket. Bosquette was rushed into the game in the last quarter, and he sank the longest toss of the game for Viator's only field goal. Pombert and Senica contributed the other three points on free throws.

Academy Books Tough Schedule of Games

Undismayed by t he ir severe setback at the hands of St. Ignatius, Captain Hinton and hi s Academy basketeers are grooming for the heavy schedule ahead. This schedule will include a ll our rivals for the state Catholic Championship with the probable ex­ceptions of St. Thomas of Rockford and Spaulding of Peor ia. In addition to these, Coach Barrett has already booked two Chicago teams and is try­ing to land others . The completed schedule will probably bring several of the surrounding town teams in the county to the Viator court. As yet, however, no games have been booked with any of these quintets.

Our old rivals, St. Mary's and St. Bede's, are both slated to meet the Academy in 'home-and-home' en­gagements. The High School men have another tilt booked with St. Ig­natius on January 18th . The score of t his encounter, if the Barr ett-m en reach true form by that time, ought to be a good deal less one-sided than was the count of th e pre-Christmas meeting. De La Salle of Joliet, last year's National Catholic Champions, are also billed on the schedule for one game.

The schedule to date is: Jan. 18-St. Ignatius , t here. J an. 25-St. Bede's, t here. Feb. 28-St. Mary's, here. Feb. 7-De La Salle, t here. F eb. 10-Champaign, there. Feb. 13-St. Bede's, here. Feb. 18, S t. Mary's, there. Feb. 21-Loyola , there.

while sometimes effective, were usually far from the mark . With the excep tion of one " sleeper," and the opening score o f the game, D eKalb seldo m scor e d a fie ld g o al from within the foul line. Via tor, with one excep tion, w orke d the ball d own, waited fo r a break, a nd then took ad­vantage o f it with a short shot.

Captain O'Malley and Evard were the princip le scorers for the Varsity. Laenhardt was next in points, a nd D e laney and McCar­thy were included a mong the successful tossers. A ll the oth ers, Campbell, C lothier, Florin, d id their share, a nd h owl It was a grea t game; both were great teams and we are now assured th at Viator h as put a team into the Conferen ce circle that will go with the best of them, and show them all some real basket­ball.

en; Games And Fun In P ractice Tilts In Last Half W iU Begin At Once

Oh boy! That was surely good news that we re­ceived a few days ago. Just when we had about despaired of hav­ing a Senior Lea­gue in basketball this season, the a n n o u ncernent that the organ­ization would be rejuvenated by

Father Harrison came and now every­one's all set. Bring on the teams and start the games going! Everybody is anxious to a state of impatience , so evidently the games of this year will be fast and furious, wild and wooly, delightfully interesting.

The first action toward the develop­ment of the L eague took place last Monday when a meeting of t he senior department was held in the gymnas­ium and ballot s cast for the election of the League captains. Eighty-three ballots were turned in, each ballot signifying t hat the maker expressed his desire of entering the league . This number is the largest original ent ry that the League history boasts of and favorably predicts a successful season. The captains include in their number most of th e outstanding players of last year's League. However, quite a few new ones are intr oduced and will have an opportunity of showing t heir skill during this season . It is expect­ed that considerably more players will enter the li sts a nd that the number of teams participating will exceed that of a ll former years. Last year the number of teams totaled eleven, and seventy games were required to determine the winner. Pfeffer's " Abadabas" finally won the trophies in a thrilling game staged in the Armory in Kankakee.

Prizes given as usual

A number of trophies and prizes are to be given to the victors of the league as has been the custom in pre­vious years. In addit ion to the tro­phies, a shield will be placed in the College Club room on which the names of the members of the winning teams of each coming season will be in­scribed. The shield wi ll be of an elaborate character with adequate space to add the names of ·winning players for many years to come. The mem hers of the victorious t eam will be awarded individual prizes.

A unique feature has been added to the Senior League t his year. Between the ha lves of each contest, the players wi ll test their skill in tossing free throws. At the close of the season prizes will be given to the high-point men who have excelled in this pastime.

The schedule of games, list of teams and team members, together with the announcements of further develop­ments will be found on the bulletin board in the gymnasium foyer. By separating the teams into two divi­sions the number of games necessary to de termine the winner will be great­ly diminished. About fifty-six games are scheduled on the present program. One or two extra may be necessary in ca se of tie games in final elimination.

As in previous years the College is represented by a rapid fire basketball outfi t this season. O'Malley, Delaney, Evard, and the others are a ll set t o make things smoke around the Little Nineteen loop and without undue mis­hap they should threaten the top rung of the conference ladder throughout t he season, and perhaps perch on it in security before the word fini s is writ­t en after the current net-knicking campaign. McAllister has been work­ing s trenuously and long, harnessing the powers of one of the best and most evenly matched squads ever given into the hands of a Viator basketball coach. The final cut of the season was made after the holiday va­cation, and there are sti ll fifteen youthful aspirants for first team honors on whom he can count for sup­port during the spring court siege. The Alumni of St. Viator will be in­terested in knowing that Viator will meet a ll of her proverbial rivals on the hardwood this spring, and they will be more interested in knowing t hat McAllister will have a team that has every possibility of walking off as conference winner, heads up.

New men of promise Among the new men of promise the

most likely looking candidates are Furlong, F lorin, Clothier and Todd, a nd these men are closely followed by Walkowiak, Hoog, LaFleur and Ber­gin. From last year's squad H erbert, Campbell, Laenhardt and McCarthy are back and are sh aring honors with t he three All-conference men of last year, a lready men tioned.

Schedule Completed The schedule this year does not

number as many games as in previous years, but the Board of Athletics ha s sought to retain its string of competi­tive games with a ll old rivals.

Viator is holding open several dates in the hope that she may be able to book up with some larger university that may be making a trip out this way later in the season . Such ar­rangements are usually of a slow mov­ing nature. If possible McAllister would like to match his boys with some larger College or University team. All the home engagements will be played in the new gymnasium, which has one of the most spacious and well apportioned floors in the s tate.

St. Viator knocked the lid off of its Conference Basketball season with a bang last Wednesday evening by top­pling the strong Charleston Normal quint by the score of 46 to 28 , at the New Gymna s ium. It was the first start of the sea son for the Green and they demonstrated the fact that they have another high-power team to re­present them in their bid for Little 19 honors.

Throughout the first half St. Viator failed to hit top form, but with the opening of the second period the five headed by "Hooks" O'Malley ran true to form and chalked up 31 points to 9 for the opposition. A sensational spurt by Worshaw of the visitors put Charle ston out in front in the early moments of the game and they led by t he count of 19 to 15 at the half. Warshaw was hig h point man for the visitors knicking the net four times from the field.

Team Functioned Well Although the home boys were late

hitting their stride, they soon fell in­to that style of play which made them a dangerous club at a ll times last year. A fast passing attack in which Laenhardt, O'Malley, Delaney and Evard bore the major portion of the burden proved too much for the Charleston club. In the course of the evening O'Ma lley crashed the bucket four times from the fie ld and dropped four foul throws to tie honors with Evard who rang up five field goals and two free throws. Closely following these men came Delaney with three baskets from the field and one fou l throw and Laenhardt with three field goals and three foul throws. uEddie" Campbell , the husky little guard on the Green, came through with two fi eld goals and a free throw.

The play was exceptionally fast throughout. Charleston relied upon a short, hig h pass ing attack which seemed to baffle McAllister's proteges during the early moments.

New men work nicely Florin, McCarthy and Clothier were

the only new men injected by McAl­lister and all these boys played excel­lent ball while they were in the game. St. Viator wi ll meet DeKalb Normal tomorrow night at the New Gymnas­ium in its second Conference game and will endeavor to climb another step in the conference race. The scor­ing was as fo llows:

Wbile we of the vicinity of the col­lege were bemoaning the extremely cold weather, some of our fellow stud­ents from distant points held differ­ent opinions. Muccclli, for instance, who hails from Duluth, Minn., had to be convinced that he was not in Florida when he arrived (on time, in­cidentally). Some from the North­west were inclined toward •vrurk" Muccelli's opinion and had to be per­suaded to wear heavy clothing. That the heavies t snowfall of the storm fell to our vicinity is evidenced by the fact that the students who lived at the greates t distances were the first

I to arrive, while those who live but a few miles from the school and had to depend upon clear highways for transportation were necessarily late.

--For about three days, the College

was practically snow bound. The Bourbonnai s-Kankakee Quite Limited was unabl to run at all until Wed­nesday, J anuary 4th . Mail service was delayed, and the only means of communication with Kankakee was via the Taxi Route. However, we now hear the familia r whis tle every half hour as the car s tarts off.

Herman, our local motorman, ap­plied the brakes well and for a long time on us at our return to the Alma Mater.

After paying the taxi fa r e for the round-about trip from Kankakee, everyone wondered who put the tax in taxi.

The St. Viator College Outing and Skiing Club (mostly out and on the skids) enjoyed its annual bike to the woods last week. The conditions of the snow, weather, and coasting places were r eported to be excellent. Frank May met up with one snow drift which he failed to conquer. The others of the party fou nd him before his head disa ppeared from sight. Brother Sullivan was not brought in on a stretcher for the simple reason that the equipment of the party did not include one. Harrington and Clea ry performed in a h ighly artistic and entertaining manner in their double ride on a s ingle pair of skis. This was during the first half of the downhill journey. Afterwards the exhibition was even more entertaining but not quite so artistic.

The traditional cage ti lt between representative teams of the second and third corridors of Roy Hall was interesting, · closely contested, and well played. The third corridor team finished the battle on the long end of the score.
