Public Invited To Program On Marian Apparitions Rev. Edward D. O’Connor, C.S.C., associate professor and since 1952 a member of the Dept, of Theology of the University of Notre Dame, will be present Wednesday night, October 5, to present a special program on "Modern Marian Apparitions” for the St. Patrick’s Woman's Club beginning at 8:00 p.m. in the School hall. Fr. O’Connor will show slides and explain the meaning of the exceptional number of claims made today about the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in places such as Madjugerje, Garabandal, San Damiane, etc. He will discuss whether they are all authentic and what importance do they have for our religious life. The most important apparitions of the last century and a half will be included in this program which is open to all interested persons. Catholic and non-Catholic. Father O'Connor is perhaps the most noted authority on the subject having done extensive research and has had several books published. To name a few, "The Dogma Os The Immaculate Conception: History And Signifance”, "Faith In The Synoptic Gospels", "The Pentecostal Movement In The Catholic Church” which received the National Catholic Book Award for 1971, plus many articles and pamphlets in various areas, especially the Charismatic Renewal, mediaeval theology, theology of Mary, contemporary Protestant theology, etc. He did graduate studies in theology in Paris, leading to S.T.D. conferred by the Angelicum University in Rome. He did his postdoctoral research in Germany on comparative theologies of Augustine, Aquinas and Luther. This promises to be a most enlightening program for everyone.

FALCONS SCORE EARLY AND WIN OVER SATELLITES The John Glenn Falcons struck early and hard to take complete control of their football game Friday evening with the South Central Satellites. Mike Radandt broke a 62 yard run on the second play from scrimmage and with 11:33 still showing to be played in the first period, it was 7-0 as Greg Vandall kicked the extra point. This fast start was followed with another quick score on a big play and Glenn, who moved to 2-3 on the season, was on their way. The loss dropped the Satellites record to 2-3 also. JG STATISTICS SC 9 First Downs 12 244 Rushing 58 40 Passing 44 6 Passes Attempted 13 1 Passes Completed 6 0 Had Intercepted 1 2 Punts 5 34 Average Yards 28 2 Fumbles 3 1 Fumbles Lost 2 115 Yards Penalized 40 43 Offensive Plays 64 After the lightning fast first score to give the Falcons the early lead, their second possession came after they stopped the Satellites to gain good field position. Gary Strong ripped of a 43 yarder to climax this quick drive and with still over eight minutes left in the opening stanza, the Falcons had a 13-0 lead as a pass failed for the two extra points. The Falcons used a penalty to good advantage to set up their third score. A pass by John Pinckert was picked off by South Central’s Geoff Leek only to have interference called on Leek in favor of Marty Hesch, giving Glenn a first down at the SC 37 yard line. From here they ground it out until John Pinckert scored on a one yard sneak and after Greg Vandall kicked the extra point once again, the Falcons led 20-0. Glenn appeared to be moving on their next possession again, but a key third down play was stopped deep in Satellite territory and they turned the ball over on downs. After gaining one first down, a fumble by Mike Schott was picked up cleanly by the Falcons Randy Anderson who scampered 16 yards with the free ball for the final touchdown of the game, still before halftime. A missed extra point set the score at 26-0. The second half was scoreless and the Falcon defense, although on the field more than the offense, continually stopped the Satellites from sustaining any drives and held on at the right times to preserve their shutout. South Central snapped the ball from center 63 times in this game to Glenn’s 43, but the big plays and the score by the defense more than made up for the difference. Host Triton Friday The Falcons will host the Triton Trojans Friday night. Triton this year has played very good football which includes a win over LaViHe, with the second best record in the conference including a win over Glenn earlier this season. Game time is 7:30 and this is homecoming with the usual festivities planned for the night. The Scoring GLENN: Mike Radandt, 62 yard run; PAT: Greg Vandall, kick GLENN: Gary Strong, 43 yard
