THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION Ol- >i
University of Detroit Finishes
Season Without Tasting Defeat
Michigan Jesuit College Tops All Catholic Rivals—Notre
Dame and Georgetown Powerful—Spring Hill Southern
Leader.
Washington.—The University of
Detroit eleven stands out as the only
undefeated Catholic college football
team for the season, 1921.
Notre Dame, Georgetown and
Creighton have records little less
creditable than the sturdy Michigan
warriors who ran up an unblemish
ed string of victories. Notre Dame
won nine games and was defeated
once; Georgetown and Creighton
each scored eight victories with hut
one defeat.
The power of the Detroit offen
sive is indicated by the’scores made
by the team and the calibre of the
opposition it faced during the sea
son that was brought to an end with
a 21 to 0 victory over the Univer
sity of Vermont; Detroit defeated
Franklin 35 to 0; Ohio Northern 35
to 0; West Virginia Wesleyan 55
to 0; Boston College 28 to 0; Tu-
lanc University 14 to 10; Spring-
field College 21 to 0 and Marietta
34 to 0.
Notre Dame Record.
The one dark spot on the Notre
Dame record, was a 10-7 loss to
Iowa in flic third contest of the sea
son. Iowa plunged the Notre Dame
line for 10 points in the first period
but was on the defensive through
out the remainder of the game.
Notre,. Dame outyarded the Hawk-
eyes more than two to one, scored
one touchdown and was on the one-
yard line for the winning score but
lacked the vital punch. The defeat
was the first in three seasons and
the second in four years.
The team reached top form at
West Point where it smothered the
Army under 28 points for one of
the big surprises of the season.
Rockne’s forward pass attack as ex
emplified by the Mohardt to Kiley
battery, the intricacy of the Notre
Dame shift, the strength of the
line and the speed of the backfield
combined to stamp the squad as
one of the most colorful and mod
ern in the country.
Grantland Rice, Sam Crane and
other authorities rated Rockne’s
squad ahead of any team in the
East and all the sport writers who
witnessed the games at the Plains
and Polo Ground centered with
varying degrees upon seven men as
worthy of all-American considera
tion. Two of these, Descli and
Castner, are second siring half-
hacks who have been crowded from
the line-up by older men. The re
maining Notre Dame candidates arc
Kiley, Mohardt, Capt. Anderson,
Wynne and Shaw.
Notre Dame’s record included
victories over Kalamazoo, Depauw,
Purdue, Indiana, Nebraska, West
Point,' Rutgers, Haskell Indians,
Marquette and the Michigan Aggies.
Georgetown’s Prowes3.
Georgetown, which ended its sea
son with a 13 to 0 victory over
Bethany, easily captured the Cath
olic college football championship of
the Eas!. The team started the sea
son indifferently well, but with men
like Flavin, Kenyon and McQuade in
the backfield and a heavy line of
scrimmage the undcfiable class of
the Georgetown team was soon
shown.
Georgetown’s only defeat came
when it invaded Atlanta to meet the
formidable Georgia Tech eleven.
Georgetown was thoroughly outplay
ed the count being 21 to 7.
The teams defeated by Georgetown'
included Lebanon Valley, Ursinus,
Westminster, Holy Cross, George
Washington, Fordham, Boston Col
lege and Bethany.
The only blot on Creighton’s
record was the defeat at the hands
of South Dakota State, 7 to 0, after
a grueling battle. It was anybody’s
game, with the score 0 to 0, at half
time. In the second session
Creighton’s defense weakened just a
trifle and South Dakota pierced it.
Creighton scored victories over
South Dakota Wesleyan, Des Moines,
Kansas Aggie, Marquette, St.
Xavier’s, St. Louis, Oklahoma Ag
gies and South Dakota University.
Games lost to Creighton and Notre
Dame were the only defeats sus
tained by the Marquette eleven,
which captured six victories and
played one tie, that with Ripon, 0
to 0. Marquette defeated Carroll,
Campion, Michigan Aggie, Haskell
Indians, University of North Da
kota and Wabash.
Holy Cross.
Holy Cross finished its season
gloriously with a 41 to 0 victory
over its traditional rival, Boston
College. Holy Cross started by hold
ing the formidable Harvard machine
to a 3 to 0 score, but after defeat
ing Canisius 42 to 0 and Colby 14
to 0, lost caste through its defeat
at the hands of Georgetown, 28 to 7.
Catholic University also scored a
notable victory in its final match,
defeating George Washington 19 to
7. It is expected that the “one-
year” rule will be put into effect
at Brookland next season and that
the team will point for bigger
games in years to come.
Villanova had a very successful
season, capturing five games and
holding Fordham and Canisius to
tie scores. Its only serious defeat
was at the hands of West Point, 49
to 0.
Fordham after starting with what
seemed to be a powerful machine
and running up big scores in its
first two games, fell off towards the
middle of the season and closed
with a bare margin of victories over
defeats.
Boston College won four of its
eight games and tied one. Boston
lost to Georgetown and Detroit. The
long trip made to Texas to meet
Baylor University seemed to be the
turning point in the Boston sea
son as the following week it fell
before Detroit 28 to 0 and a week
later was held to a tie by Fordham.
The final game with Holy Cross was
Boston’s Waterloo.
Middle-West Teams.
St. Xavier’s College of Cincinnati
stood out conspicuously among the
Middle West teams, winning five
games, putting up a good battle
against both Creighton and Centre
College. St. Thomas College also
showed its mettle on the field, win
ning over St. Olaf of Northfield and
St. Mary’s of Winona among other
aggregations of its own standing.
St. Mary’s of Kansas scored no
table victories over Rockhurst and
Washburn College, as well as de
feating the College of Emporia.
St. Louis University was not up
to its form of previous seasons, al
though it started off well enough
with defeats of Missouri State and
Kansas University. The third game
saw its downfall at the bands of
Missouri University. The Univer
sity of Dayton struck through a los
ing season courageously. St. Ignat
ius’ of Cleveland also gained con
siderable credit for its endeavors
against heavy odds.
South and West.
In the South the Spring Hill Col
lege team of Alabama showed up to
best advantage, winning from both
Loyola of New Orleans and Jeffer
son College of Louisiana, its most
formidable Catholic college rivals.
St. Mary’s of Oakland showed to
good advantage on the Pacific coast,
as did Gonzaga college.

FIXED DATE FOR
EASTER DEBATED
House of Lords Discusses
Change—Britain Confers
With Vatican on Subject.
London,—Shortly before the Par
liament was adjourned until next
January, an interesting discussion
was raised in the House of Lords
as to the fate of Lord Desborough’s
Bill for securing a fixed date for
Easter.
It is known now that an unoffi
cial committee, of which Cardinal
Mercier will be chairman, will sit
in Rome next year to consider this
question, and there is the possibil
ity that the Holy See will be ap
proached to take some action in
the matter.
Meanwhile, according to the Earl
of Onslow’, who addressed the
House on the matter, the British
government has been acting up
to its decision not to take any fur
ther steps in the matter of the Bill
until the great ecclesiastical au
thorities have been consulted; it
being obvious that the date of
Easter cannot possibly be changed
unless the Christian churches agree
to the change.
The British Envoy at the Vatican
has evidently been instructed by his
government to seek the opinion of
the Holy See in the matter, for
Lord Onslow informed the House of
Lords that the Pope had given the
matter his careful attention, and
that it was felt that, as far as the
Catholic Church is concerned, there
is insufficient ground for changing
the present system by which the
computation of Easter is fixed.
The Orthodox Church feels that
it is not competent to deal with the
matter. The project has been dis
cussed by the Holy Synod at Con
stantinople, and the impression was
that the Synod could not deal, with
the matter, which must be settled
by an Ecumenical Council—of the
Orthodox Church, of course.
As to the committee of astrono
mers, over which Cardinal Mercier
is to preside, Lord Onslow stated
that at the Vatican nothing was
known, officially that is, of such
a committee.
One of the strongest supporters
of the proposed change in England
is the Catholic Bishop of Salford,
who has thrown the weight of his
vast scholarship on the side of the
change. Bishop Cassertclli says that
;.s things are at present, there is
no doctrinal objection to tlie pro
ject from the Catholic side, and the
Bishop has pointed out how, by a
mere stroke of the pen, the Pope
could order the change immediately.
The machinery for the change,
said the Bishop of Salford, already
exists in the Missal and Breviary.
According to his reckoning, all that
the Pope would need to do would
be to issue a decree ordering that
the number of Sundays after Epith-
any and after Pentecost should be
constant. This would result that
Easter Sunday would always fall
on a certain Sunday in March or
April, as the case might be.
Now the Angelican Book of Com
mon Prayer uses the Roman compu
tation for fixing Easter, and conse
quently has exactly the same num
ber of Sundays after Epiphany. So
that by two strokes of the pen both
Rome and Canterbury could agree
on this change.
