WAVE OEfEA TS WESTERN STATE MC KENOREE Viator Aerial Bomhs, j Most Valuable j ·Passing Attack F~ils
Blast Western ~tate As St. Norbert Wms 12-7 Flashing a brilliant second half
passing attack, Coach Lou Zarza's St. Viator gridders swept to a 13 to 7 victory over the highly touted Western State Teachers outfit on Saturday, October 23. The triumph definitely showed that the young Green Wave mentor has developed a powerful machine.
Both Viator touchdowns came on passes from the ·unerring arm of Luke Gleason, sophomore left half. The first was a 22 yard heave to Danny ~lazevich, who snared i t With the typical Blazevich finesse. The play came midway in the third period and was followed a few minutes later by a 68 yard touchdown ~un by Vanderburg, Western State ie~t half. Norris kicked the extra point to put the Teachers in a 7 to 6 lead.
Came From Behind Things looked black for the Green
Wave until, with only seven minutes left to play, Gleason, standing on his 33 yard line, tossed a long pass to Boo Lena:lran on Kalamazoo's 45 yard stripe, Lenahan carried the ball · 12 mOre yards before he was
downed .. Bates Scores
With a first down on Western's 33 yard line, tbe Irish gained but two yards on two attempted passes and a plunge. On the last down, Gleason faded back, faked a toss to B lazevich who was being covered by two opponents, and then let fly a pass to Bob Bates. Bates leaped high in the air to take the pass on the 14 yard line, fought off one tackler, sidestepped another, and dragged a third defensive man over the goal with him. George Cusack place-kicked tbe extra point and gave the Irish an insurmountable lead.
Line Looks Good . We~tem penetrated deep into Via
tor territory several times during the first half but each time an alert defense threw back the threat before Western could get past the Irish twenty yard stripe. Five W estern passes were ·intercepted, three of them by Quart erback Tony Sacco. Bob Lenahan and John Morenc, backing up the line, brok e up numerous running plays, after Tony Zelenc!k, Babe Claeys, Bob Schumacher and George Cusack piled up the Western linemen; incidentally, the Viator linemen met the stiffest competition they have faced this year. Coach Mike Gary of Western State has a heavy ,fast charging group of forwards who would make a tough afternoon for any college grid team. Rex F lach was a shining light on defense while Sacco's work on pass defense was noteworthy.
Long Punts by Bl.azev!ch Blazevich displayed his usual wiz
ardy of foot by getting off a number of beautiful punts. Two of wblcb definitely staved off Western advances. Morenc was playing his usual game, diagnosing plays and smashing Western's balltoters time and again. Lenahan too, played brilliant defensive ball and was the
only one of Lou Zarza's backs who could gain consistently. Each time the blond fullback lugged the ball he picked up a gain of from three to six yards through the toughest line VIator has met this year. Gleason threw 14 passes and completed 8 for a gain of 115 yards. Bates' sensational catch of Gleason's pass earns him a warm spot in the hearts of all Viator fans .

Coach Wilkinson's Basketeers Begin
Strenuous Practice
Practice for the 1937-38 basketball season opened November 4, under t he direction of the new Coach Dorian Wilkinson. As there will be no freshman rule in effect, Coach Wilkinson invites everyone to come out for the team, and in order to provide ample opportunity for all, he plans to hold two practice sessions daily, one in the afternoon and the other at night.
T he prospects for a successful season appear to be very bright, as there are 8 le ttermen returning, as well as most of the members from last year's B team. The returning lettermen are: Dan Blazevich, John Burke, Babe Claeys, Bud Monahan, Red McElligott, Bill Walsb, Bob Lenahan and Frank Straub. Among those who showed enough ability on last year's B team to warrant their promotion to the varsity are: Luke Gleason, Tony Sacco, J oe Malloy and Tony Tortorello.
The season will open at home with a game December 6 against J oliet Junior College, and will be followed by a journey to Kalamazoo, December 11 , to engage W estern Stat e in a contest which can be described only as a "natura\,."
The completed schedule will contain ten games with Uttle Nineteen opponents: two games apiece with Carbondale, McKendree, Charleston, and Illinois Wesleyan; and one game with Illinois State Normal and Carthage. The important non-conference games already scheduled are with DePaul and Valparaiso.
The schedule has not been definitely completed as yet, but as things now stand it appears that there will not be a n east ern trip this year because of complications in the schedule.
Viator \Vhips 1Vlcl(endree 19-0
Coach Lou Zarza led his Green Wave to a crushing victory over McKendree in t he Homecoming Game on Saturday, October 30, before a goodly crowd of Alumni, friends and followers of St.. Viator's deceptive and powerful football team. Tbe 19 to 0 victory climaxed by the Homecoming Dance made the entire festive program a success.
Tbe bonfire and parade Friday night and Saturday preceding the game displayed the traditional spirit of the Viator campus, while the win over McKendree assured the Green Wave of a high standing in the 1937 Little Nineteen Conference.
E ntitled to St.ate Champions hip Viator laid claim to its second
state championship on the basis of a 14 to 0 triumph over Carbondale, a 6 to 6 tie with the vaunted Titans of Illinois Wesleyan, and a crushing19 to 0 conquest of McKendree. Saturday's game closed the conference campaign but dangerous opposition lurks behind every remaining date on the schedule.
The conquest was effected in a thoroughly business-like manner and the out come was never in doubt except for a few minutes of the first quarter. The powerful Viator aggregation mixed superb line crashing with its aerial maneuvers and annihilated a team that was reported and rated to be one of bet strong contenders for the Little Nineteen Championship.
H.escrves Piny Last Half The Viator defense was so strong
that McKendree only once moved within the Viator 29 yard line. After scoring the 19th point in the third period, Coach Zarza unloosed his reserve force in the last quarter until it looked like Notre Dame sending in its shock troops .
Although the scoring fear of a ll Viator toes functioned only once during the entire game, it was perfectly executed; Luke Glea son was standin g on the McKendree 20 yard line-he fired a pass to Blazevich on the one yard line. Danny seeing that he was caught in a mesh of McKendree players lateralled to Tony

Weakened by the loss of Captain
Bill Walsh and Adrian Lessard, our
courageous green-clad warriors went
down to defeat before the onslaught
of a much heavier and a more ex
perienced squad from St. Norbert's college of West DePere, Wisconsin, by a 12-7 score. Tbe passing attack, fo r which the Zn.rzamen have become famous, just didn't seem to click. The game was really a "thriller". The Irish were very much in the battle until the last gun sounded, and it wasn't until then that the outcome of the game was decided.
F laeh Scores
The Green Wave's lone touchdown thrust carne in the first few minutes of the game. Danny Blazev!cb, ace kicker, got off a beautiful 50 yard punt which was downed 'on the Nor bert 11 yard stripe. On the next play, Ellis, Norbert halfback, fumbled, and Bob Schumacher recovered. On an end a round play, Danny Blazevich carried the ball to the Iive yard line. Then Rex Flach, Viator rigbthalf plunged over the goal line on a reverse play. Babe Claeys added the poin t and Via-tor led 7-0. ·

JUorenc Blockes Kick The Green Knights of St. Norbert
came back to score early in the •second quarter. With the ball on their own 31 yard line, Trepanier faded back and passed to Hickey, standing on the 40 yard marker. Hickey raced the remaining 40 yards to the goal line to score unmolested. Toonen's try for placement was blocked by Johnny Morenc, and Viator still led 7-6.
The Knights put over their winning marker in the latter part of the third quarter when Kinke, giant fullback, culminated a 28 yard march by going over from the 11 foot line. Toonen failed to convert, and the score was St. Norbert 12, St. Viator 7, which proved to be the final score.
Bob Schumacher, Viator's candidate for All-Confer ence honors at the guard position, and Bob Bates, who" holds down the right end post, got up from sick beds to play in this ball game. Both boys played a great game, and certainly deserve commendation for their heoric efforts. Bob Lenahan, the hard driving, line smashing fullback, cracked the Norbert line repeatedly, and several t imes it looked as thouh he was "off to the races", but the safety man always managed to stop him.
Blazev!ch Looks Good Danny Blazevicb played his usual
fine game at end. Punting against the wind, be managed to get off some very long, high kicks, which were the equa l of anything that we've seen in the Big Ten conference. The huge Norbert line managed , to keep him quite effectively blocked up on the pass plays, and

From the opening kick-off at 8: 00 p. m., until the final gun ends the game, the fans should see plenty of good, hard football. At least that's what we'll see if previous records mean anything. Both the Zarzamen and Dubuque have lost to St. Ambrose; previous games show that the competition has been execeedingly k een, with :several 0-0 and 6-0 score::;.
Viator Club sells Tickets
The Viator Club of Chicago, an organization which has always shown a keen interest In the affairs of the college, is now distributing 5,000 tickets to the a lumni and friends of the Chicago and Metropolitan a r ea. Besides that, each school is making an extensive effort to sell its quota of tickets, in order to insure the success of the game.
Viator fans have been encouraged by the wonderful record of the team to date, and have been especially pleased by the impressive victories over Western State, Carbondale, McKendree, St. Norbert, and a tie with the highly touted Titans of Illinois Wesleyan. W e note with approval, also, the fact that everybody in Chicago is "talking about the game."
However, his defensive work was one of the finest exhibitions that we've seen this year.
Long Sick List
Besides (:aptain Walsh, who is out with that ever recurring leg injury, W e find Adrian Lessard also on the injured list. Lessard is now recuperating from a broken arm received in the Wesleyan game. Bob Lenahan sustained a severe injury to his back in the first week of practiCe, and he received a relapse of this old injury when he was hit hard early in Saturday's game. George Cusack, another mainstay of the Viator line, is out with a leg injury, also received in the early portion of Saturday's game. Johnny Morenc turned in a magnificent performance a t center, in spite of the fact that he was handicapped by a severely sprained thumb.

Critique The Viatorian,
Dear Editor: In response to the recent article
advocating day-s tudent attendance at college f unctions , a s tatement of our position would not be amiss. We are sincere ly appreciative of the interest manifested in us and have always been desi rous of participating in col· lege activi ties. Our absence from many of the meetings is not due to any lack of interest, but to the fact that for many of us it is quite inconvenient to attend meeting s held in the evening. Another reason is the fact that annmm cements are so infrequen tly posted in Marsile Hall

The proposed fish pond next to Ule Music Room Is speedily laking form. Beta Lambda extends its congyatulations to the brothers who devoted their time and etrorls to Its construction.
Several years ago the day st.udenls, realizing Ule diJl'lculty of attending the meetings, formed an organization which would, In addi tlon to its other activities, elect representatives to the College Club. It i s only by means or these delegates that we are able to keep in tooeh with all matters of general interest. Whils t our organization itself, has been somewhat quiescent, ita members have actually la.ken part In all college functions . We tind them as members of the football squad, in the intrarnurals, on the basketball tea m, on the staff of Ule VIATORIAN, and with the debating and choral clubs. ·
Proportionally, Ule students are taking as active a part as the Te
maind.er of Ule college students and it is our aim and desire to cooperate w itb Ule atodent ood'y and organizations to Ule !ullest extent for furthering a better coUege spirit
