Take note - we're back again.
Like a second string full back that
dashed off the bench for a short
attempt at left tackle only to show
that he was better plunger than
stopper, we have abandoned our
wider tone and are back with the
CYO in Columbus and especially
in the Grade schools. It's nice to be
back though; there's good company
in this league and really something
to write about.
We'd better start off fhe foot.
ball season with . prediction.
We forecast that last years win.
ner ST. Agatha, will come very
close TO repeating lF II manages
TO get through the season alive
and sane. choIlie Lebel and the
good Pastor, Father Kennedy, are
very much afraid that this
might not happen because things
have been in something OF
dither for the Upper Arlington
team of late.
First of ALL the boys we're
scheduled to play for the NCCS at
Chillicothe, October 5. The bus
was loaded and set to 90 when the
phone call came-bad weather, no
game. Confusion reigned briefly
while parents, players, etc, were
informed of the catastrophe. Two
day later, the team left for the
game with st. Ladislaus early
enough to make the four o'clock
starting time.
Four-ihirfy arrived and ST.
Lads was opponentless. The
reason?-St. Agatha was raring
TO 90 in full equipment at South
WOOD while St. LsdislaUs was
waiting where the game was
seheduled--af SouthVlEW. oh
sure. they made it-but then,
and they hope II is aIl,-hslf-
back DANNY WiLES came up
with = bad appendix and will
be our for the season. They have
whale OF q team though, SO
chances are they'll make it,
and they get another chance at
chiIlieoihe on November 2.
Speaking of st. Agatha reminds
us of a few other points concerning
Assumption league members. st.
Mary Magdalene, the league door
mat last year, has reversed the
field and after the second week
of hostilities was well in front. The
Far Western athletes mauled Ros-
airy and st. Peters successively by
convincing scores. And de- boys
From Buttles Ave, st. Francis are
coming to life with their grand
Uncle Pete Albanese behind them.
Last year they couldn't even get
started; this year they own an
even break in the record so far
and the loss was only by one I'D. 1t
looks good to see the lads back at
ii. Many a Columbus Catholic man
there is who will remember St.
Francis as a power in days gone
by.
81. Mary's Is making q bid for
supremacy in the Presentation
League. OF course, the season
isn't very old but the first games
do give some indications of the
future - barring upsets which
always happen. The little Rsnb-
lers are we'll coached was ths
remark made TO US by . thor.
oushIy beaten opponent. More
power TO Carl Rau VIII is re.
sponsibIe for this situation.
TIME OUTS coaches and of
ficials we're happy over the weigh
ing in plan this season. They didn't
have to travel so far :. the largest
attendance ever was noted at the
first coaches meeting in September
which indicates greater interest :
encouraging to say the least =.
Coaches voted out the use of
aluminium cleats in grade school
leagues for safety sake. This rule
is being carried out, too. Two re-
ferees have elected players from
the game for this reason by the
way, catch the new official, of
ficials shirt which will be sported
by all officials of CY0 games,
Grade or Junior, in the future S. i.
Our sympathy to Clark Noles at
the recent loss of his mother. Clark
was very prominent in the athletic
circles at Holy Family school in
years gone by.
