DECEMBER 21. 1937 THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC L AYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA SEVEN MARIST MEN NAME ON ALL-CITY TEAM D Leading Magazines Forcibly Linked With Salacious Ones Atlanta Cadets Admitted to Gr, I. A. A., Strongest Prep 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. v T C r (Special to The Bulletin) ASHEVILLE, N.
