Lyons Downs St. Ed's For Interhall Title

The fighting words of Coach "Rocky Gibraltar " Chamberlain were somewhat dampened by the liquid mist on Cartier Field, but the mighty men of Lyons had enough to overcome the St. Ed's Saints in Sunday's Interhall Championship game. A good group of rooters turned out to cheer for each team and though the rain continued to fall, spirits seemed to be at a peak.

Big Walt Mahannah, Lyons fullback, was the offensive star of the ball game as he ran, passed, and punted his team to victory. In the first quarter, he romped around end from the 30 yard line to score the first touchdown, and late in the third period he chucked a pass to Muscatello for the final touchdown giving Lyons a 14-0 win. St. Ed's, badly outweighed and outmanned but never outfought, controlled the ball throughout the first half and had the ball on St. Ed's one yard line as the half ended. Stout defensive work by Sampson, Hanifin, and Mahannah stalled many offensive threats by St. Ed's as Wolfe and Sheridan broke through for good gains.

The Lyons team proved that organization in interhall athletics is the big factor. This team got organized early, practiced hard, and with adequate spirit within the hall kept the ball rolling. Lyons also won the lower division baseball title and are playing the same rival, St. Ed's, for the championship in that field. Halls on the campus could well take a lesson from these two halls, and the players, coaches, and supporters from these halls deserve this hard earned praise.
