Gonzaga Eleven Faces
Task 10 Stay Sharp
For Central Battle
By Bill Fuchs

Gonzaga High School will be play
ing twice in four days when 1t
tangles with Central Saturday at
Grifith Stadium for the city-wide
scholastic football title. The Eagles
were chosen last night after whip
ping st. Johns, 1910, before $3.50
fans at the Stadium. The problem
now confronting athletic heads at
Gonzaga is how to keep their boys
razor keen for Saturdays tilt.
I'm afraid there might be a let
down." says Athletic Director Father
Geib. They're going to be tired
after playing st. Johns. They were
up for this game against the
Johnnies. Now we have to keep
them up for the game against
Central"
"Of course" continued the priest,
"the game itself Is natural rivalry.
I know back in my home town
Philadelphia-over 10000 fans fill
Shibe Park to watch the prep school
champ play the public high champ"
Father Geib played halfback for
St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia,
but regrets that in those days there
wasn't any playoff for the city title.
So he is looking forward to Satur-
days tilt with extra fervor, for IN
his first year as athletic head 1t
Gonzaga his team will play IN the
first prep-high title game IN this
city's history.
Johnnies' Fumbles Hurt.
Gonzaga will carry a record Of
six wins and three losses into Sat-
urdays tilt, but strangely the Eagles
showed their best form Of the season
in defeat.
THAT was the George Washington
game" explains Father Geib. I'VE
were ahead In everything but the
score. We trailed by 1912 and
gambled on fourth down with less
than a minute to 60 on our own 20.
We lost the ball and G. w. scored
on a pass play to win, 20-12."
Although Georgetown Prep has
the best record to show for the
season, the choice of Gonzaga to
represent the preps Saturday was
logical. In whipping st. Johns,
the Eagles won over a team that
held the Little Hoyas to a scoreless
deadlock. Otherwise. the Little
Hoyas won all their games. A mild

passes and Bill Haley Of Gonzaga

With IS seconds remaining Hogan
sprinted to the 4 and with 20 sec
onds to go he went over.
In the preliminary, st. Anthony's,
led by Larry O'Cleary, won the CYO
Junior football championship with a
1870 victory over Blessed Sacrament.
lO'Cleary scored on q 70-yard jaunt

Memorial

RICHMOND. Va.
A s AMERICANS PAUSE
4 a this Memorial Day to
honor the heroes of all wars,
the thoughts Of many Mary
landers and Virginians will
travel to the Confederate
Museum in Richmond, where
thousands of Civil War relics
are preserved. Both the Free
State and the Old Dominion
have their own rooms In the
museum, and there are others
for each Of the seeding and
border States.
The museum occupies the
home where Jefferson Davis
lived with his family when
he was President Of the Con-
federate States Of America.
Built in 1878, 1t was used as
a private residence until
1861. When the capital of
the Confederacy was estab-
lished In Richmond the city
bought the three-story man
sion and offered It to Mr..
Davis. He refused it as a gift.
but the Confederate govern
ment rented it for him. To
this day 1t Is known as the
white House of the Confed-
eracy."
Soon after the Federals
captured Richmond In April,
1866, President Lincoln held
q conference In what Is now
the Georgia room, and dur
Ing the reconstruction period
the house was used as head
quarters for District No. l."
as Virginia then was called.
Outstanding among the
museums exhibits is the pro-
visional constitution of the
original Confederate govern
ment. This well preserved
document, written on parch-
ment, bears the signatures of
representatives from South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Texas. In most re-
spects it follows the United
States Constitution.
Another treasured relic Is
the great seal of the Con-
federacy. which was made in
London and brought In
through the blockade in 1854.
This vanished when Rich
mond fell, and its where
abouts remained unknown for
almost half a century. It
was located In 1912 by Gail
lard Hunt, chief Of the divi-
sion of manuscripts in the
Library Of Congress, who
