sport will emerge sounder than
ever from their deliberations.
Charges and counter-charges have
been brought into the open, where
they probably belong. Football and
all college sports should benefit
in the long run!
HERE AND THERE ITEMS: Ted
Marchibroda, St. Bonarenture'S
nifty forward passer, blossomed
late in the season as a receiver of
tosses from Sophomore Don Walsh
-. Capt Jim Mutscheller of Notre
Dame still had three varsity games
to play when he broke an all-time
school record with so pass inter-
ceptions during his career !.
Thirty-nine former college stars
and eight former pros were in
cluded on the Quantico Marine
squad which Holy Cross walloped
1918.
In this last paragraph of our fin
al column for the season, we want
to say it has been a pleasure to
chat along about Catholic college
football. This has been a most in
teresting campaign.

Grade Gridders

Even the Grade Schools have a
banquet circuit, We're making the
rounds of few of them this week.
Our most enjoyable one so far was
the turkey dinner served to the
champs from st. Dominic'S, in the
school hall.
1t was q very simple affair with
emphasis on the most important
| thing-plenty of food for the boys.
Each boy attending sat with his
parent and enjoyed the meal serv-
ed by the team mothers. The
league trophy was awarded to the
school and Father D'Huyvetter
gave little individual trophies to
each boy.
What we liked was the simplicity
of the affair, plus the fact that
Art Isdbelle-who didn't get to
play in a single game this year be-
cause he suffered a broken ankle
before the season started - was
honored right along with the rest
OF the team.
We we're checking back into the
history of the elementary leagues
and we find that Holy Family won
its first grade school grid title in
1888. They we're the only cham
pions that year because there we're
only two leagues in the city and
these we're divided according to
the sections of the town. The city
championship was decided by a
playoff.
Holy Rosary was the first foot
ball champ, in 1926. They followed
up the next year but were unseat-
ed in 1923 by Holy Name school.
st. Thomas won the crown in 1929,
and 1880 found 81. Francis and
Our Lady of Victory sharing the
title. Victory repeated with st.

VtIIdaoUd'S surprising loss to BoS-
ton College all figured in our
thinking as we sought to rate the
10 Best Catholic Teams of the
Year.
The rapidity with which the AS
sociated Press pollsters this fall
dropped Notre Dame into the cal
so Mentioned" classification was
hardly justified. They lost to very
tough opponents in Southern Meth
odist and Michigan State.
As has been the custom in this
column, we are not including our
own Marquette eleven in the reck-
oning. Here, then, is our rating of
the 10 Top Teams:
San Francisco, NotTe Dame, Holy
Cross, Xavier (Ohio), ViIIanovd,
Santa Clara, Dayton, Fordhana, De-
tToit, LoyoLd (CdI.)
1t was refreshing to find Cath
olic teams or players at the very
top of the national standings in
several departments of grid play
late in the season. A recent Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau
release shows these national lead
ers with a game or two to be

making for the sridders chalked

schools athletic history.
The meeting with st. Paurs will
be the second of the young season
for st. Mary's, both away from
home. They we're scheduled at st.

when they travel TO Central Cath.

far the earliest league game. The
others will not start until JsnU'

Time was, and not so long ago, when there was

DENNISON-This has been d
good season for Catholic high foot
ball squads. st. Mary's Blue Waves
helped to make it that kind of sea-
son.
They merely recorded the best
season in their entire athletic his
tory-dating from 1941-in streak
ing to an 81 record. They were
victors in the first eight games,
losing their finale.
Scoring 322 points, Extensively,
Coach Dave DePage's charges gave
opponents only 81. Chief reasons
for the big scoring parade were
traced to end Sam Bonifant and
halfback Joe Scolaro, second and
third highest scorers in the county
class "B" schools.
And the future is even brighter.
Only three seniors will be lost,
come June. Although these include
Bonifant, Scolaro and Don Arnold
the team captain-local fans are
expecting more of the same pig
skin fare next fall.
The complete squad included:
Ends, Bonifant, Medler, 10th and
Cardani tackles, Russell, Fondriest,
Torch and 10th; Guards, Beamer,
Dorsey, Demattio, Marchione, Hen
mis- and Kopp; Centers, Arnold and
Lindsey; and Backs Scolaro, Put
nam, Cush, Ross, Fentin, Amicone,

Wage Reports
Due BY Jan. 81

COLUMBUS, - To avoid penal

ers of three or more persons sub
iect to the OH Unemployment
Compensation Law have until jan
uary 81 to make their wage rec
ord reports and tax payments
for the last calendar quaTt-r OF
1850.
Report forms have been mailed
to 79,498 employers covered by the
law.
The January 81 deadline also
applies to employers of eight or
more workers who are subject to
both the OHio and federal unem-
ployment cor9ensation laws. By
meeting this deadline, these err1-
ployers can also avoid federel
penalties and interest charges and
receive credit for their state tax
payments as an offset against
their federal taxes.
The quarterly report requires
each employer subject to the law
to list each of his employees by
name, social security number, the
number of weeks each has worked
and his total taxable wages. The
report must be accompanied by
the employers tax contribution
for that quarter.

Adams Attitude
Overnight Change

CINCINNATI - Bobby Adams
walked into the office Of Cincin-
natl manager Luke Sewell after
the final game of the 1850 season
and inquired in firm tones:
I'D like to know lust where I
stand on this ball club.
Not exactly a remarkable state
ment perhaps-that is unless you
happen to know Bobby Adams.
The fact is that urtil not 100
long ago the little Redleg infieId-
er would have been the last man
on the club you'd expect to act
in such a manner. Adams simply
didn't do things that way
Actually, the incident delighted
Sewell. Not that particular event
in itself, but the fact that it typi-
fled Adams newborn attitude, the
same attitude he vividly demon
strated on the playing field the
past two months of the season.
Short on Spark
Previously, during his four
years with the Reds, Bobby was
one of the incest fellows you'd
want to meet variety. He was
blessed with adequate playing
ability and often showed flashes

to improve nectar and pollen sup
plies in local areas.
Honey producing plants like
shrub lespedeza are erceAent for
border areas of farm woodlots
and timbered hills, Reese says.
He points out that tall trees either
shade such areas or sap the
ground of fertility and moisture.
Result is waste or worse er-
osion.
Reese mentions a number of
spring-honey producing plan S
that are good in windbreaks, Rus
sian olive, Siberian pea, black
and honey locust, snowberry, cat
alpa, American elm, Eastwood,
maple, buokthorn and blackberry
are some honey producers the
apiculturist says can be used in
windbreaks.
He quotes A. E. Boreii. 8
biologist, on the value of Gees u
conservation farming: Crop ro-
tationS essential in best use of
land usually include a legume
crop that provides bee pasture.
Bees in turn supply pollination
service for the legume and a wide
range of other crops, including
fruit
Borrell says many soil conserva-
ton districts and beekeepers, CO.
operating, have developed plan
ned pollination" from which farm
ers and beekeepers mutually bene-
fit in more fruit, more legume
seed and more honey.
Reese points out, THE more
bees the more Iegume seed and
fruit; the more legune seed :
the more chance for economical
planting of legumes that provide
good bee pasture"

Of brilliance. Unfortunately he
was bit short on the essential
spark that characterizes the COM
petitor.
Consequently though other Gin
cy second baseman have come and
gone during recent years, Adams
usually managed to run second
best in the competition for a reg
ular job.
Then suddenly Adams apparen-
tly decided he'd had enough and
proceeded to do something about
it.
When Sewel' began alternating
Bobby ara Grady Hatton at third
base around mid-July, Adams
went about his business with a
vengeance. A complete change in
attitude and disposition was i'm
mediately apparent to all. The
revolution had come Practically
overnight Adams achieved a COM
plete transition from a backward,
retiring type to one of the clubs
most aggressive performers.
At that stage, in mid-July, Bob
was hitting an anemic .255 but
