CATHOLIC TITLE
Kentucky Champions Defeat Rochester, N. Y., Team in Last
Game of Chicago Tour- nament 18 to 16
,

WIN IN FINAL MINUTE

Monday night the fighting little St.
Xavians, of Louisville, captured the
national Catholic interscholastic basketball championship by defeating the
Aquinas five, of Rochester, N. Y., at
the Loyola gymnasium, in Chicago.
Not until the final minute of play,
when a field goal, tossed by Smith,
'forward, was the game decided.
Throughout three quarters of the
game the Rochester team maintained
their lead by a point or two, only to
lose in the last few seconds of the
contest. The championship game,
probably the hardest fought one in the
tournament, was a battle l'oyal from
whistle to whistle, and the diminutive Kentuckians deserve the highest
praise for their hard won victory.
Hendricks Honored
The gameness of the youngsters is
evinced by the fact that after the
gruelling contest they had to be assisted from the floor. Hendricks, whom
the Chicago Tribune said was without
doubt the best guard of the 32 teams
entered in the tourney, was uwarded

On Tuesday, April G, the Cleveland
Symphony orchestra is coming to. Lexington for two performances. This
orchestra is being brought .to Lexington under the sponsorship of Miss Ann

have the privilege of attending the
matinee for 50 cents provided the tickets are purchased in blocks of ten or
more. Any schools are eligible to this
rate if they will write for tickets. The
