ST. LEO’S ACADEMY
IN PERFECT SEASON
Florida Eleven Undefeated
and Claims Catholic Cham
pionship of the State
(Special to The Bulletin)
ST. LEO, Fla— The Golden Lions
of St. Leo, won first claim to the
Florida Catholic Scholastic Football
championship November 21, when,
led by North and Norkus, they won
handily over a strong team from
Tampa College High. The game was
a close one until'the beginning of the
third quarter. Tampa scored six
points early in the game but failed
to add the extra point. The Lions re
taliated a few minutes later. Nor
kus, out of the game for exactly
three minutes with a dislocated fin
ger, came back early in the third
quarter and contributed in no small
way to the rout which took place as
the Lions won 25-6.
Claim to the Catholic Scholastic
championship of Florida takes place
after the defeat of the leading Cath
olic schools by the Lions. In turn,
the Lions have won over Immacu
late Conception High of Jackson
ville, 10 to 0; St. Joseph’s Academy,
of St. Augustine, 19 to 7, and Tampa
College High of Tampa, 25 to 6. St.
Paul’s, the only other leading Cath
olic school supporting a team, was
defeated by St. Joseph’s Academy.
The score was large enough to jus
tify the St. Leo claim. The schedule
follows:
Lions, 44; Florida Military Insti
tute, 6; Lions 19; Immaculate Con
ception, 0; Lions, 14; Largo, 0; Lions,
20; Brooksfield, 7; Lions, 6; Bsh-
nell 0, and Lions 25; Tampa Col
lege High, 6.
The Lions have a perfect record,
one which will stand for a long time.
The players themselves say that
their best game of the season was
against the Largo Packers. In this
game, the Lions scored two touch
downs and a safety. In defeating the
Bushnell Golden 'Gators, the Lons
accomplished a feat of no small
standing. Although undefeated in
the Gulf Coast Conference, of which
they were champions, the 'Gators
were riding for a fall. In all, the
Lions scored 165 points against 26 for
their opponents.
Outstanding for the Lions during
the entire season were North, Nor
kus, St. John, Harper, Allen, Childs,
Burke and Dee. North led the back-
field in scoring 76 points, while Nor
kus came second with 67. St. John
scored two touchdowns’ and an ex
tra point. *-
This has been St. Leo’s first per
fect season. In 1930, the Lions won
six and tied two. An undefeated
and untied record is considered al
most perfect. Coach Bowman had
little to desire. He plans a harder
schedule for next year and locals
already predict that it will be too
difficult to consider tieing the rec
ord made this year. However, the
Lions lose only five men from the
squad. Arthur Childs, Jack Dee,
John Burks, Bill Scheich and Bill
Krusen are those who wore the Pur
ple and Gold for the last time.
Coach Bowman was more than
pleased with the showing made this
year. Hard work on his part as well
as on the part of the players, was the
recipe for success. School backers
were more in prominence this year
than ever before. Telegrams and let
ters were frequent and an incentive
to those in whose hands defeat or
victory rested. To point out the
qualities of a choice two or three
would be repugnant to the St. Leo
ideal. While stars are to be found
on any team, those scintillators are
the first to admit that without the
co-operation of their teammates, they
could not shine. St. Leo had a good
year, one which will stand for a long
time. We hope it won’t be too long
before another team can boast of a
similar record.
Basketball began during the week
preceding the last football contest. A
high class team is in order. The re
turn of all but four of last year’s
squad will make a winning team al
most certain. The Lions have sche
duled a brace of games with Bran
don, New Port Richey and Hillsboro.
Games with the Tampa University
freshmen and Tampa Business Col-
lege are being sought.
