C. W. Convention City for 1938 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.
