Swimmers Lose
Chance in RELAYS

Turning in some good individ-

both of the relays, Mount Glenn
ems highs swimmers wound up
an unsuccessful dual meet sea-

Ken Vernier, st. Niary's guard
who handled the fullback duties
in football, was the leading scor-
err for the Mountaineers during
the basketball season just ended,
a survey of the scoring for the

points during the first four
games, found his Lasket eye in
the st. Fred's game, when he
scored eight points and was
high-point man in it and the re-
naming seven games, running
up a total of 81 points. His high
est total came in st. Freds of
Pontiac clash when he collected
II points, the entire team get
ting only 81.
This figure of II stands as the
high scoring total for a local
high school player this season.
Other figures show that the
Mountaineers piled up total of
205 points with eight players
sharing in the scoring. Oppo-
nents poured in a total of 387

The Mountaineers played l.

decision over st. Francis de

feat came in the opener with st.

Gen. Lew Wallace Saw Victory Forever Overhead

sible for them to suppose that q man Of
any character whatever could hold an
opinion upon serious public affairs that
he wasn't willing to back up with his
life If need be.
1t was as simple as that to them; and
let us not presume to think their SIM

concerning the "futility OF war" been
productive of so much in the way of
peace?
Lew Wallace, who was not q profess
sional soldier be it remembered (though
he was indeed born" one) gives US
an honest history Of his attitude toward

moment came for me to climb into the
wagon >. he took my hand and said:
Goodbye. Come back q man. Sud-
denly gave him a shower Of tears"
Lew Wallace came back q man, and
a brave one because although he didn't
experience battle he did fear. He had
an adventure alone one night: it's un-
important IN itself, but it enabled him
later to write thus: THE sight OF q

he was so soldierly and his eyes were

He was getting gray then but he had
