A. on Monday, March 25, to draw up a schedule and to lay plans for this season. Daniel Hayne, Craig, Hoffmann, New Orleans and Xavier are the members of this league. The pur�pose of the league is to foster clean sports among the younger prep students. Prayers are lim�ited to those who have not yet completed their second high school year. This gives the young boys a chance to develop t hemselves physically and mentally by devel�oping resourcefulness and initia�tive. Our "little" boys are very de�serving of this opportunity to dis�play their athletic ability. The boys who will play on our team have made wonderful strides since coming to Xavier. These are the ones who performed so creditably on the basketball court the season now jUst gone. A more determined, willing and ambitious bunch of youngsters are not to be found on any campus in the country. Fur� ther, these boys we must remem�ber, are men who will be the val'� sily men of tomorrow. For these reasons we should support this junior team whole heartedly, es�pecially since there is to be no "big" team this year. Here ten� tutive:y is their schedule: Xavier v. Daniel Hayne...... Aprill0 Xavier v. Craig.................... ApriJ 12 Xavier v. New Orleans ...... ApriJ 16 Xavier v. Hoffmann.......... ApriI 24 This schedule ends in April, you may notice. Our track meet is to be held in May, so from now on we are going to be pretty busy. What high school class is going to win our track meet? What college class is going to win in their division? The classes which prepare the most conscientiously will surely have something to say as to the winners. What are you going to do to help your class win the field and traCK m~t-? We owe it to our class to contribute our share of effort towards making the meet the greatest we have ever held. STRAIGHTS JRS. TRIM XAVIER JRS. On the Garden of Joy, March 12, 1929, the Xavier J uniors lost their second game of the season to Straights Juniors by a score of ~7�4. The game was fast and ex� citing from the first to the final whistle, which ended the game. The Junior aggravators from Straight had the advantage of height and bulkiness and used it with telling effect. This particu� lar style of play decided the win�ner of the game. Whalen Grant, Xavier's crack forward, accounted for the only scores of Xavier with two field goals. His dribbling and passing were the main attractions of the game. Previously Xavier Juniors de� feated Straights Juniors on Xav� ier's campus by a score of 9-5. SPORTS Under an article entitled "For the Game's Sake," Lawrence Perry in the Daily American Tribune gives an idea of the importance of knowing the doings in the sport world. Mr. Perry cites as a rea� son why a person should have a knowledge of sports the fact that sports arc fast mixing themselves into the ordinary routine of busi� ness. One great industrial firm 1n Utah has gone so far as to de-�mand of all applicants for posi. tions a real knowledge of the principles in football, baseball and boxing. The head of the firm is credited with saying, "To be well informed a young man must know something about many things. A man maKes his money by his busi. ness, but he makes his friends by personality." Knowledge of sports is coming to be a part of that busi� ness education. The questionnaire offered by this firm consists of only three ques�tions, but they arc very many people who would not be able to answer them: We recall that on the occasion of a visit to our school of the National Secretary of the Play Ground Association, there was not in the entire stu� dent body one brave enough to stand up and declare that he or she knew thoroughly a game. If the secretary of this same body was to return to Xavier, how many students could say, "I know this game," and mean that there are no angles or questions which may arise that could not be solved by me. ATHLETE AND CO-ED GIRLS-PLEASE NOTICE! Co�eds are a liability, according to Knute Rockne, famous Notre Dame coach, who attributes his success to the fact that there are no women at Notre Dame. "She takes a lot of the athletes time, either at the expense of his studies, his playing or his sleep." -Cornell Daily Sun. How many of you girls agree with Rockne? NINTH GRADE SELECTS MISS ELOISE BRAUD The ninth grade is the lnrgest class, and therefore has the most workers to carry its candidate in the popularity contest to victory. Every ninth grnder is sure that Miss Eloise Braud will be the 1929 Queen of May. 9�1 HOLDS ELECTION New Officers for the Classof 9�1 President ..............Emmett Stanley Vice�President ......Vivian Chelette Secretary .........Helen Batholemeu Treasurer .......... Marcelte Rousseve Representative......Regina Le Blanc Delegate.................. :':Alma Gardina Motto: "Always Climbing." Patron, St. Joseph. x. U. JUNIORS HAVE BALL CLUB Coach Priestly has picked some very promising material for his baseball squad. The indications are that the Juniors will have one of the best teams in its history. The competition for positions on the team is exceedingly keen. Probably the most pleasing fea� ture to the coach is the spirit that the boys are showing. Every one seems to be working with but one object-to make a good team. In James, Bart, and Gabriel, the Juniors have as promising a pitching staff as ever toed the rubber for the Gold and White. Arnold is the leading candidate for catcher, with Grant and WiI� fred as understudies. The infield looks like: Jackson, first base; 1\1 artin, second; Grant, short; and Gardette, third. Walker and 1\10u� ton are staging a hot fight for the outfield positions. There may be a number of surprises before the season gets under way. for a number of good men are working hard to make the team. MORRIS L EWIS, 12�10. ALL DEPARTMENTS PREPARE FOR FIELD DAY Occasion to Be a Gala One Preparations have begun for the annual field day, to be held this year in the early part of May. The physical education classes are practicing for the field and track events, and judg� ing by the ability displayed by some of the girls there will be strong competition on Field day. The special field events will be the high jump, running broad jump, standing broad jump, shot put, and basket ball throw. The track events will be the dashes of variPus distances, relay races, and special races. Besides the track and field events, no Xavier field day would be complete without the tradi�tional May pole performed for the chosen queen by her loyal sub� jects. There will also be an eighth grade dance and some special dances by various mem� bel'S of the high school classes. For the first time the college students will feature in the various athlete entries. Great things are expected from some of the well� known college stars. Keeping the Moth.

Indignant Grocer-Not fresh! Why, the boy brought them from the country this morning. Customer -What country?� Washington Cougar's Paw.

" FIDDLER OF OUR LADY" PRESENTED BY COLLEGE STUDENTS Appreciative Audiences In Attendance For two consecutive evenings, March 24 and 25, "The Fiddler of Our Lady" was presented in the auditorium. The melodrama proved both artistic and inspiring, and the well�trained Xavier Orchestra furnished appropriate music for the occasion. The four declaim� ers, Messrs. A. Chatters, G. Mc� Demmond and O. Du Conge, nar� ruted the plot in a way that grip� ped the audience. Miss Veronica Holly, who took the difficult part of the Blessed Mother, did remark� ably "''"ell. To George McKenna, a Freshman, recently of 35 Hi, fell the principal role of the Fiddler. His musical talent enabled him to play the part to perfeetion. Every�body agreed that Mr. James Des� pinasse made a very impressive judge. The college girls added grace and beauty to the affair by an artistic appreciation of a Greek dance. Miss Irma Henry, as usual, was the guiding spirit at the piano. APROPOS NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK Football is a brutal game, but b l' ute s cannot play it. _ Bob Zuppke. The Choral Club Entertains Reverend Mother M'ary Katharine and Mother Mary A gatha March 26, Reverend Mother Mary Katharine and Mother Mary Agatha were present at the regu� Jar meeting of the Choral Club. Reverend Mother Mary Katharine expressed her admiration of the way in which the business meeting was conducted. Then the club showed their appreciation for the honor done them by singing the following numbers: "Ave Maria," "Sweet Miss Mary," "Every Time I Feel th-e Spirit," "Remember Me," concluding with a favorite of Reverend Mother's, "There Were Shepherds Abiding." At the end of this impromptu programme, Reverend Mother Katharine paid the Choral Club the fine compli. ment of saying that if the present rate of progress is maintained, Xavier's club will soon rank with the Fiske Singers. ProfessjlI-"! will let my hat rcpresent the planet Mars. Are there any questions before I pro� ceed ? Bright Stud'cnt-Oh, professor, is Mars inhabited?
