League in the State
BY GUS HENDRY
ATLANTA - Ga.—The Marist Blue
Devils have just closed the 1937 sea
son which, in spite of four losses,
was considered a success. Coach
Louis Van Houten started the year
■with 19 lettermen from last year’s
team. With these boys acting as the
nucleus of his team, he started re
building with the additional boys
that had reported. It was slow
work, but by September 17, he had
whipped the squad into mid-season
form for the opening tilt with the
formidable Richmond Academy of
Augusta.
The Cadets from Marist overcame
a great weighty advantage and fought
the “Bucaneers” off their feet, but
the game ended in a 7-7 deadlock.
This was a “moral victory’’ for the
Cadets of Atlanta.
The following two weeks were
lean ones for the boys in blue, as
they lost a pair of heart breakers to
G. M. A. and their ancient rival*
Commercial High of Atlanta. The
Commrcial game was featured by a
70-yard touchdown run by "Yank”
Cumberworth of Marist, to place
Marist out in front 7 to 0. Commer
cial came back and with two scoring
thrusts to beat the Marist boys, 12
to 7.
The men of Van Houten, led by
Cumberworth, MacDonald and Hold
er journeyed to Thomson and crush
ed the fighting Lee “Generals”, 28
to 6- This was a fine victory for
the Cadets.
Decatur, with a scrapping but
light team, took advantage of a pair
of Marist mistakes to trim a highly
over-confident “Blue Devil” ma
chine. 12 to 0. This game was a hard
one for the boys in Blue and Gold
to lose.
Coach Van Houten whipped the
team into fine shape, and the fol
lowing week they took the measure
of Rome High, 28 to 7. Leatherwood
and Cumberworth scored twice each
for the Cadets scores. The Marist
line held the Rome backs helpless
the entire evening.
The Cadets took on a large help
ing in the Oglethorpe Freshmen
team. The “fighting Blue Devils”
fought the “Stormy Petrels’' on bet
ter than even terms but lost by the
margin of one point, seven to six.
The Marist boys looked good in
losing this one.
In their second game of the week
and their fourth in 12 days, Marist
journeyed to Columbus, Ga., and
trimmed Jordan High 6 to 0. Cum
berworth climaxed an 80-yard drive,
with a 20-yard dash off tackle to
■core the winning touchdown. This
was a fine ending for a fine team
that had its share of good and bad
breaks.
The Atlanta Georgian sponsored
an “All-City” prep team, and
Marist placed four men on the first
and second teams.
Gus Hendry. Marist guard, was
placed on the first team. Ed Ryckley,
tackle; Roy Maupin, end, and “Yank”
Cumberworth were on the second
team.
The Griffin Mew also picked an
all-star team but this was the N.
G. I. C. team- Marist placed three
men on the first and second teams
and six more were given honorable
mention. Nine out of the eleven
men were given All-Star recogni
tion.
Ed Ryckeley and “Yank” Cum
berworth were placed on the first
team. Roy Maupin was on the sec
ond team. Hendry, Vickers, Mallet,
Davol, Holder and McHann were
given honorable mention.
Coach Van Houten has accom
plished another fine job. Every year
be has to build his team with only
a minimum amount of reserve
strength. In the past four years he
has turned out such stars as San
ford “Coot” Vandiver, University of
Georgia halfback. Abner Simanton,
Georgia, guard. Joe Reid and C. D.
Slater, star Bullpup linemen, and
Jack Hitt, Tech freshman back.
Jack Evans went out of the state
and is an outstanding tackle on the
Citadel freshman team.
This year Coach Van Houten was
rewarded for his efforts with admis
sion into the G. I. A. A., the strong
est prep league in the state- Out of
the 19 lettermen from this year’s
teem, 18 of them will be back next
year. So in ’38 it will be interest
ing to watch the ‘Fighting Blue
Devils’’ roll.
Some Are Refused Dealers Except in Unwholesome
Combinations, Bishop Noll Tells Editors, Who Pledge
Support to Campaign Against Obscene Literature
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
MEMORIAL MASS
For World War Dead Spon
sored by Asheville Council
NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Continuance
on a national scale of the drive against
indecent and immoral literature and
magazines was pledged by the execu
tive committee of the Catholic Press
Association, which met at the Univer
sity of Notre Dame.
Members of the committee were
guests of the university, and of its
president, Rev. John F. O’Hara, C. S.
C.; at a dinner at the University which
was addressed by the Most Rev. John
F. Noll. D. D., bishop of the diocese cf
Fort Wayne, Ind., and a former leader
in Catholic press activities.
Bishop Noll called attention to the
campaign begun locally by the Nation
al Council of Catholic Women, which
has been taken up by the Catholic
Youth Organization in this state, and
by many other organizations which
are not of a religious nature. He call
ed particular attention to the need for
action, not only by Catholic groups but
by all decent citizens and groups in
the country regardless of creed or reli
gion.
Stressing the insidious manner in
which indecent propaganda is being
insinuated into the secondary, and
even the primary schools of the coun
try, Bishop Noll said:.
‘‘It is not enough to carry on local
.campaigns which will temporarily
'clean up” the newsstands. We must
strike at the national sources of this
propaganda. We must stop the flood of
indecent writing and advertising at
the fountain head, just as moving pic
tures were purged through the League
for Decency.”
We mentioned the efforts of local
druggists to take indecent literature
from their own counters and cited the
case of one druggist who was told in
writing by the publishers of a repu
table magazine that • unless he pur
chased the magazine from the distribu
ting syndicate in this territory he could
not secure the publication for sale.
