              THE MAROON DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY VOL I NEW ORLEANS, LA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1924 No. 11 LOYOLA GIVES PELICANS GREAT BATTLE IN FIRST GAME OF YEAR By GARDERE MOORE Dunbar, Rogers and Toups Hold Southern Leaguers to Five Hits While Wolves Swat Caldera for Twelve. Messrs. Bob Dunbar, Hughic Rogers and Lcnnie Toups. comprising the 1924 Loyola hurling corps, stood the NOW Orleans Pelicans, champions of the Southern League, on their heads for nine innings in the opening game of the Wolves' schedule, while the rest of Coach Hayes' diamond aggregation impressed close to a thousand fans that Loyola has the best college team in the south. Wildncss alone cost tlu: Wolves victory over the Southern professional champions and Larry Gilbert'.- team was forced to the utmost to gain a 4-2 decision. "Those boys undoubtedly have the best college club in tbi- section," declared the Pelican manager after the game. "They certainly gave us a battle." But Gilbert's statement is mild compared to the impression made on New Orleans tans and the south in general ; by the remarkable performance of the Wolves in their opener at Heinemann Park. A total of ten bits off Gene Caldera, one of the Pelican aces—just ; twice the number that the Southern League champions made off the three Loyola hurlers—showed the Wolves to be a bunch of hard hitters anil with the consistent hurling that was displayed by Dunbar, Rogers and Toupi they should have little difficulty in going through the present season with mt"( ■-■'.-' record I Jut second only to the great showing made by the team against the New Orleans Pelicans was the manner in which the student body turned out to back the squaB, Some five hundred students, enlivened by the incomparable Tuxedc band, played an important part in the opening day ceremonies with peppy exhibition. But to get back to the game. Bob Dunbar started the game for Loyola and pitched masterful ball, especially in tin- pinches. The big I.oyola hurler ! was wild at times but he and Jimmie Babington worked some excellent battery work with men on the bases. An instance of this came in the third. Schnick and Henry had walked Tucker popped up to Babington. Then Dunbar walked Gilbert filling the bases with only one out. Ewoldt grounded to Smith who threw Schick out at the plate and then Dunbar retired the side by throwing Henry out at the plate on Morris' grounder. The Loyola pitcher received a big hand as he left the mound. Dunbar was the victim of misfortune in the fifth and but for this there is no telling how the game would have come out. Bob threw out Henry at first and Tucker grounded out, Vorhoff to D'Antoni. Then Larry Gilbert, one of the most dangerous hitters in the Southern League, was walked for the third time. Ewoldt singled to left but Winling let the ball go through his legs. Gilbert scoring and Ewoldt going to third. The Pelican third baseman scored a minute later when Morris scratched a hit by short. The rally ended when Winling got under Caldera's fly. However, Winling's miscuc was more than made up for by his brilliant work in left field. In the first inning he made one of the most sensational catches seen at the Pelican ball lot this season. Hal came tearing in fast on Tudker's short fly and made a great shoestring catch. I.oyola brought the score to 3-1 in the sixth when Jimmy Vorhoff opened the inning with a triple to centerfield, his second of the day. and later scored on Smith's single to left. LAW SCHOOL MEETS NEW PRESIDENT Fr. Twellmeyer Addresses Students; Fr. Robison Speaks of Students Attitude Towards Alma Mater. Law school students were given a double treat on Friday, March 28, when two University presidents, Fr. Robison of St. Louis, and Fr. Twellmeyer of Loyola addressed them. Fr. Kenny, dean of the law school introduced the new President to the students with a few brief but well chosen remarks. Fr. Twellmeyer apologized for not having had the opportunity of meeting the Law School sooner, and explained that as he knew the law school was very busy, he did not like to interrupt their studies by the formality of an introduction.Fr. Twellmeyer commented or. tinfact that, though Loyola ha- erected and is erecting magnificent buildings, it i- the student body that makes a university what it is. He congratulated the law students for their determination, ambition, and splendid spirit in , uuiing to -! uU) ait i tm lafoo so day, and expressed the opinion that those who so fitted themselves for higher positions in life would surely be of great benefit to the community. He pledged the hearty support of the prafessors to the student body, and urged all to uphold the University motto of—"EVER UPWARDS AND ONWARDS." In introducing Fr. Robison, the president called the students' attention to the fact that St Louis U. and Loyola are sister schools, being both siuated in the great Mississippi Valley, and founded by the Jesuit Fathers. Fr. Robison greeted tlic students in the name of St. Louis University lie congratulated Loyola on the splendid growth it has had in the short spare of ten years. "Students should be proud of their Alma Mater." Fr. Robison said. "They shouldn't consider a university education as an investment of dollars for knowledge received," he continued, "but should look upon the university as their 'foster mother.' We don't want pecuniary students in St. Louis U. and I'm sure Fr. Twellmeyer doesn't want them here either. We want students to DANCE TO BE GIVEN BY L. A. A.

The ceremonies were begun at 7:00 o'clock and were followed by a banquet at one of the prominent downtown restaurants. Adding to the tastefulness ol the dishes that were served, the banquet was made particular!) attractive by tin speaker" who graced the occasion. Several of the members of the new Lambda Chapter spoke on different topic- concerning the growth of Loyola, the bettei men) of the Pharmacy College and the enormous amount of wood Beta Phi Sigma would do for Pharmacj at L 1 ola. Al the beginning of the present i scholastic year, a number of LC students petitioned the ('.rand Chapter of Beta Phi Sigma for a loi al Chapter at Loyola. After careful investigation bj the ('.rami Council the petition for a local chapter was granted. This fact was communicated t.. Win. V. Cale. M.D.. Ph.G., Grand President of the Fraternity, who was instructed to proceed with the institution of a chapter. The actual installation was deferred by Dr. Gale until April 7th, which would permit Henry B. Bentz, M.D., Grand Secretary of the National Body, who was engaged in instituting a chapter at the University of Wisconsin and visiting local chapters in the southwest, sufficient time to arrive in New Orleans, and assist in the instituting of a local chapter. In commenting upon the success with which the petitioning body has met. Dr. dale said. "The successful outcome of the petition for a chapter of Beta Phi Sigma will mean much to the student body of Loyola as well as to the University." The Lambda Chapter is the second National Fraternity Chapter to be installed at Loyola. The tiriit came with the granting of a petition by the Psi Omega, National Dental Fraternity, to what is now known as the Delta Omega Chapter of that Fraternity. The success of the petitioning body speaks well for that body as well as for Loyola. The careful investigations that are gone through before a chapter houseis granted warrants us in saying this. The officers of Lambda Chapter are: Dr. J. J. Grasser. Venerable Sage; L. A. Landry, Esteemed Sage; K. S. Whitley Noble Senior; C. E. Walcott. Worthy Junior; D. M. Maker, Counsellor; K. A. Smith.
