to Kevin Shevlin. The War Babies
again scored after an interception
and eight yard run by Al Semp-
timphelter. The game ended 15-8
after a safety by the War Babies.
In the second game, the Sav-
ages, due to their tight defense,
held the Horn Hill Raiders score-
less while gaining 20 points. Mike
Orsak started the scoring for the
Savages on a five yard pass from
Mel Bulot. They gained two extra
points with Bulot running a fast
sweep around right end. The scor-
ing continued with a five yard
run by Mel Bulot and a 20 yard
pass-run play to Fred Galus. Both
extra point attempts were missed.
In the next game, the Wildcats
rolled effortlessly over the War
Babies, 46-0. The scoring drive of
the Wildcats began in the first
half with Charles Budde making

Leadership is said to be many different things and has been
possessed by many different people. Statesmen are said to
have leadership, as are church officials, military generals and
business executives. According to “Webster’s New World Dic-
tionary,” leadership is defined as the ability to lead. We run
into leadership or the lack of it wherever we go. As a freshman
at St. Edward’s, I saw it develop in many different people;
in some it is still growing, while in others it has disappeared.
I have seen some use it for their own good and others use it
wrongly. Some who thought that they were leaders found that
they were not only chief but also the only Indian in the tribe.
I went to the basketball game last Monday when we played
Sam Houston State. I looked for the leader of our basketball
team and could not find one. I saw a couple of men with a lot
of potential, but that’s all it was. We had no John Schneider
or Phil White to settle the team down when the going got rough
like they did last year. The blame for this can be put mainly
on the shoulders of those with the potential. Coach Norris can’t
do everything. His coaching ends at a point. He can tell them
what to do only when the clock has stopped running. He can
put different men in for different situations, but that is it. Mr.
Norris’ job is not to single men out to be leaders, but to develop
basketball players. I have talked to individuals on the basket-
ball team and they have told me of the lack of leadership.
I wish that the men with the potential would step forward
and lead the team. My fear is that they may be pressured into
it and hurt themselves as well as the team in the long run.
These leaders need not be the high scorers or the best players
on the team. I doubt if many of us who were here last year
realized that John Schneider was a leader, but if you will stop
and think about who started the team off on a hot streak or
settled them down, I am sure that John’s name will be thought
of. Our star players should not dodge the responsibility by
thinking it is for the lesser known players. If you are in the
position to lead, by all means lead.
With this being said, I would like to mention that great game
of football, possibly for the last time. This last week brought
a close to most of the colleges’ regularly-scheduled football
games. Looking back at the last 11 weeks, I see many mistakes
that I made, the biggest being Michigan State over Notre Dame.
Most of you will think that you are saved from seeing my
predictions every week, but you are wrong. I am planning to
predict basketball games, and as soon as I can get a schedule
of all the major games, I will proceed. If any of you have any
knowledge of where I can get such a schedule, please contact
me at once.

During the last week of intra-
mural football, the Horn Hill
Raiders walked over the Mets by
a score of 29-6. The War Babies
also beat the Mets, 15-8, but were
mauled by the Wildcats, 46-0. The
Savages won two of their games,
one against the Horn Hill Raiders
and the other against the Border
Bandits, 20-6. However, in the last
game, the Savages lost to the
Wildcats 14-7.
In the first game of the week,
the Mets held the War Babies
scoreless in the initial quarter
while scoring only 8 points on a
15 yard pass to Tony Saldana
and an extra point run by Ron
Baltruzak. However, throughout
the rest of the game the Mets
failed to score. The War Babies
first scored in the second quarter
on a fifteen yard pass-run play
in favor of Southwest Texas.
During the first half, 37 foul
shots were taken, 19 of them by
St. Edward's. Chatfield lead all
scoring with 15 points.
The second half proved to be
even more of a free throw shoot-
ing contest.. This half saw six
men foul out, four of them from
SEU. St. Edward’s cut the lead
down to two points with 17:45
remaining when Grzegorek stole
the ball and layed it up. From
this point on, SWTS was ahead,

St. Edward’s started its 1964-
65 basketball season off on the
wrong foot by dropping the first
two games. They lost to Sam
Houston State at home by a score
of 76 to 80 and then traveled to
San Marcos to lose to Southwest
Texas State by the score of 76 to
88.
The first game of the season
was played on Monday night, No-
vember 23. Paul McDermott was
captain of the SEU five that was
to have a happy beginning but a
sorrowful ending. The jump went
to Sam Houston and it took just
12 seconds for Gary Cornelison to
put them on the scoreboard by
hitting a jump shot from the top
of the key. The Hilltoppers first
points came on foul shots by Paul
McDermott and Roland Brewer.
Brewer tied the score at five all
by making his foul shot with 17:01
left in the first half. At this point,
the sharp shooting of Mike Otol-
ski and Jeff Burns pulled St. Ed-
ward’s into a lead they were to
hold the rest of the half. The
biggest lead was with 5:41 left
when Brewer hit a lay-up to make
the score 35 to 25. The half time
score was 45 to 35. St. Edward’s
was able to get a couple of three
point plays when Sam Houston
put on a full court press. Mc-
Dermott threw a couple of full
court passes to Otolski, who
layed the ball up for two and
drew a foul shot. Otolski ended
the first half with 20 points. SEU
hit 46% of its shots while Sam
Houston hit 34%. Sam Houston
led in rebounds, 23 to 21.
SEU started off the second half
by building up its lead to 12
points. With 9:06 remaining, Mc-
Dermott maintained the 12 point
lead by hitting two free throws to
make the score 69 to 57. At this
point, Sam Houston got hot and
SEU cooled down. Jay Baker hit
a side jumper with 5:03 left in
the game, to give Sam Houston
the lead 71 to 70. St. Edward's
was only able to hit 7 points
during the last ten minutes; six
were scored by John Walls within
the last minute of play. The final
score was 80 to 76, Sam Houston
winning. The Hilltoppers hit 35%
of their shots in the second half
to 41% for Sam Houston. Otolski
lead the scoring with 27 points
and Walls was second with 18.
Baker lead the scoring for Sam
Houston with 18 and Lehman and
Cornelison were second with 17
apiece.
For the second game, St. Ed-
ward’s traveled down to San
Marcos to play Southwest Texas
State. Brewer was the captain
for SEU during this game. The
game started with Southwest
scoring first. St. Edward’s came
back to tie on Grzegorek’s two
free throws. The score was close
for the first ten minutes. The
largest lead during this time was
held by St. Edward’s at four
points. During the remaining ten
minutes of the first half, South-
west Texas moved into a lead of
five points. Chatfield lead South-
west Texas during this time with
fine shooting from the foul line—
7 for 8—and also from the field.
The half time score was 34 to 29,
sometimes bv as much as 16
points. SEU came within five
points, 76 to 71, with 2:58 re-
maining on Canfield’s jump shot
from the left side. Southwest at
this time stalled and waited for
fouls, which they received. The
final score was 88 to 76, South-
west Texas winning. Grzegorek,
Otolski, McDermott and Canfield
fouled out for SEU. Each team
hit 24 shots from the floor. St.
Edward’s hit 28 of 41 free throws
while SWTS hit 40 of 54.
