THE XAVIER HERALD ~==~'==========================================~-Ip=-ri-e-st-IY---t-o-ok---e-ig--,t---o-f--h-iS~-------IN-------------~ ~ 1 --ITIATrvE l ATHLETICS ~ BASKETBALL OFF TO A GOOD START -. � F lashing a much improved defense and nn offense which sparkled brilliantly at times, the 1930 edition of the Golden Wave Quintet took the Capital City Five into camp to the tune of ]6-7. The game which was the initial start of the season for both squads proved to be a thriller from the opening whistle. Play had begun but � fi\'e minutes, when :b'"\rancis of the Golden Quintet sank a field goal to begin the scoring. From this point to the end of the � game we held the lead, but for eyery minute a Capital City threat had to be met and put down. Conspicuous by his absence from the line-up was our Cap�tain O. Smith. 'J'his rangy player is n fast running guard � who rivals the fonl'Hl'ds in the number of field goals made, and because he is gencrally reo gardec] as a s 100 mg s ar " I I' too .0 of thc first water he is a con�stant threat to the opposition. 'rhe team missed him but under temporary Captain " Fnts Le�Blanc" thcy went out and won the game. The Cnpitai City Five is made up of all ex-stars on the court. .( \V ith onlv one exception thcy are tall . and rangy fellows. These qualities III n busl<etball player are more of a help to a .". � tellln than they would be in nlly other major sport. Snch men of note and ability as Dr. Ba�ranco. Coach Kraft of Baton Rouge Hi, Coach BI'ice Tay�lor of Southern und others made up the person nel of the team. Brice '1'aylor, who did not get into the :!~lme until the sec�ond hnlf, lmlde his pl'esence felt Ht once by shoaling a long-one the fil'st time he put his hands on the ball. But fl'om th is point. he \\,,,18 mOI"C closcly watched and one free shot as the result of n fou l summed up the rest of the scoring done in this half by the Capitalines. For us the work of Francis, � fOl'ward, and Graves~ center, &tood out. Between these two players all of aliI' points were nccollnted fOI', FI"!Hlc i~ making nine and Graves making seven points. "Lil Hooks" Smith 11, Despi na sse, " Whirlwind" \Vl'ight, " }o"'ats" LeBlanc and Barbina were the other players to get into the fl'acas ou the side of the Gold and 'Vhite. Crimson Tide Trips the W a.ve ~ To aU of those people who believc III hoodoo, jinxes, rab�bit feet, and all the other omens of supposed good and bad luck, � it is fixed in theil' minds to an absolute certainty that Straight College has 10 its possession one such eharm which it uses � with dire results against Xavier. Those people base their belief on these facts. No doubt one of the best "ams I'n Xa",'er basketball h,'s. t "� . tOI"Y took the floor against Straight College on the Roof Garden Saturday, J anuary 18. 'I'rue, Captain O. Smith was again unable to get into the ga me huI a wea Ith 0 f good rna� . I terla was expected to partially ff" I II ff I . an d su IClent y we a set t liS disadvantage. Fresh from a victory over the "Scrubs," nn independent team, a "ictory in which Ca ptain Smith made his first appcarance of the season and celebrated by scoring nine�tecn points in the 77-7 rout, our boys were confident, almo!':>t cock-sure, as to the outcome of th e g~lIne. Then came the game. Both tcams were off to a \'ery slow start and it was some 'lllles b f R W f 1111I e ol'e .oy eems 0 tl,e "]"] " k f I I t I( e san -a ou s 10 .

Both teams were now fighting st rongly and when a point wns made by either t.eam it was well earned. The score at the half wa~t mar-k was seYCIl to fin in our fnvor. Coming out at the half, \\Teems of Strai.O'ht sank a field rl'oal to knot the seore at se\"en ~ all. At this point. tllose cllal�III'.�� . d b f � .., mentlone e are were put to WOI�k. Chenaul t of St.�aig-ht secured the tap from the cen�tel': as he was about to shoot he was fouled by \Yright of Xavier, the referee blew his whistle but Chel'rault continucd to dribble unmolested until he WIlS Hilder the basket whe]'(' he shot n f!oal. The referee then <lllo\\'cd him hl'o free shots nt the basket, one of which he converted. This put the Tide III the lend b~' three points I� I II' lIC 1 pro\'ed to be the winning 1l1ll1'0'in. The final score being r� 1-1--11. But back to thc stOl�."�'I'oll l)~, one of oU]' fOl'w1l1'ds with the abil it~� bol'll of desper. ation, sank the longest basket of the game to decrease the lC<ld, but Chenault soon coun� tered with another field goal. GI'fI\"es then sunk nnothel' to bring our total up to eleven, but -Weems of Straight made a field goal to discount this ef- I I fort. 'rhe score was now 14-11 with Strllight holding the lead. A few seconds later the whistle blew signifying the end of the game. The ability of the Crim-SOil Tide to COIn"crt free shots proved the deciding factor j that is if you are generous enough to overlook two baskets made by Straight after the referee had blown his whistle, two field goals the shooting of which found the Xavier players inane. 'Ve must then wait! Another Victory Aceepting the challenge of the St. Rose Tigers of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, C 0 a c h basketeers to the little town.

'rhe game itself was well pla.,'ed but quite rougll, Ille boys from Bay St. Louis did not know the game as they should have known it and the I'esult was the calling of many technical fouls on them. The score was 17-7 when the gnme ended. There were as many rooters for us as there were for Bay St. Louis. The reason for this lies in the fact that many ex-Xn\"ier students reside In B;]~' St. Louis. A iF was .ood time hnd by all. The entire Hostel' of the basketball S(lllad is as follows: Ca ptain O.

I . t lIug that will help us onward, I� " Dltlahvei what is it? In� itiative is felt rather than seen ' it exists within, not without: 'Ye cannot see initiative but we can perceive its infl{lenee upon the-actions of indi"iduals. It is an outward manifestation of nn inward attribute. Thcre�fore, let us consider this 111�fiuence as shown outwnrdly. Initiative may be defined as that quality which strengthens the I)OsSessor 's belief in h,'s 01\' 11 powers, <Ind which leads hinl 10 act without direet orders from anyone else. All leaders, trail�blazel's, III nny fi eld must ne� �1 I CCS~.lI� 1 Y III \'e this inherent con�fide nce. Those who wou ld show the WHy III science, phil�osophy, nrt. or business cnn�not hope to receive directions from othel's. but must rely primm�il.\'. upon thelllselve~; upon their initiative. Initiative is necessa,�v if OU I' civil ization . is to go onward. Lack of this f ol'ce would condemn us to the t I f I CI' sa .e o � t Ie llnese, whel'e in� 't' .
