» Therg are three Irish altar boys in the city who should get a big punt out of seeing that football score leading off this yarn. The altar boys go by the names of Joe Eckman, John McGinley and Donald McManamon. You might be wondering, if you don’t know Eckman, McGinley and McManamon, what a football score has to do with altar boys and’ vice versa. Well, the reason I'm stressing altar boy Is that today‘is Sunday, I met the boys last Sunday in the sacristy of SS.

His face was giiting red as the corduroy trousers he was wear8. There wasn’t much time for conversation and 1 was glad for him. I remember only too well the numerous times I have found myself in a similar predicament. Joe should be thankful, however, he didn't have as stern a taskmaster as an altar boy of yore had. My right ear twitches every time I think of Father Felix. Joe went out to light the candles on the altar. No sooner had Father Van Benten and I started to talk .apout the football game than we heard footsteps in the hallway, “McGinley, what are you doing here?” “Father Sweeney sent me in as a substitution for “McManamon,” answered John Meginley;

.THE SCORE of .last Sunday's game is history: The boys played remarkable ball with Stan Feezel, another great altar boy and star quarterback, leading the attack. It's history too, that McManaman and Eckman and McGinley spent their hour of worship with the zeal befitting young gentlemen. They! played the Big Game as well as “the ganie.” | I don’t think you can ask a youngster to do more than that. The patron saints may smile, at boys like “Eck,” “Mac,” “Fats,” but I don't| think - there's any cause to frown even though there may be a thought or two about football in the sacristy. ) “Boys will be boys,” and for my money, the 8. ones with a little gridiron mud on the cheek are worth 10 namby-pambies, |
