ThorsenA Salute to Gilbert, Sullivan and Professor Siegel Last year marked ilic 100th anniversay of the pre- miere of "Trial by Jury', the immortal light opera which was the fruit of the collaboration of Sir William S. Gil- bert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. Gilbert, whose lyrics Sulli- van set to music, was himself a barrister having entered the Inner Temple in 1861, and having been called to the bar in November, 1864. A fficionados of Gilbert and Sulli- van have long suspected that reincarnation is the only ex- planation for Professor David Siegel’s admiration of the pair, and his own talents as exhibited by the following reprints from the Poetry Corner" of the A .B.A. Journals of July and November, 1974. A tier the premiere of Patience. W. S. Gilbert was depicted by Leslie Ward ("Spy ) in the May 21. 1881. issue of 32 Vanity Fair. The Girl Next Door (In Juvcnois v. Pontious, No. A-95467 in the District Court oj Jefferson County, Texas, plaintiffs .sued for damages sustained when the neighboring defendants' hull broke through a fence and amorously engaged the plaintiffs' heifer before the little lady, though concededly in heat, was sufficiently mature.) With nature could a beast commune That very lovely afternoon. The sun was bright. My head was clear. I was a most complacent steer. A young one. too. and by your leave I daresay just a bit naive. The cows and bulls who shared my lea Looked pretty much the same to me. Then all at once, with some alarm. I sensed from the adjacent farm A fragrance of such depth and surge, I had this most peculiar urge. There stood, upon that yonder green, A cow such as I've never seen. A bovine form so rich and full, I fast became a lot of bull. My need, I own, was so intense, In one great leap I breached the fence. And then, as fate would bulls endow, I trysted with that gorgeous cow. For doing as I had to do Her master's mad and mine is. too. In fact, each barnyard face I spy Regards me with a jaundiced eye. My life, in view of all this rage. Has turned a rather tragic page. But one thing docs relieve the pain: You sure don't hear that cow complain!The Steer with the Lecherous Leer (In the July "Poetry Corner” (page 868) David D. Siegel wrote in "The Girl Next Door" of a "steer" who enjoyed an amorous adventure. In the September issue (page 1140) appeared a number of delighted (and cor- rective) responses. Here is Professor Siegel's defense.) I grieve to think that urban me Could so elicit rustic glee By writing of the sire's call In steers, which lack the wherewithal. But if my steer were so bereft Then is there no compassion left Of which assumptions might be made And summoned to a lover's aid? Could he have not absconded from The local castratorium? Or could he not, if fitted wrong. Have brought a virile friend along? Had he not gear to make the bid Could he not lease from one who did? Or given up on normal gear And played the thing, instead, by ear? Yet further clues could come to mind Were charily the force behind My critics, who prefer the joy Of laughing at a city boy. And did they know that Webster's Third Affirms that this resourceful word Describes both those who vc lost the mane As well as those whose goods arc plain? But wait! I'll take their thesis straight. I will concede that steers can't mate. But with that predicate in low There’s something that I’d have them know I think a steer devoid of tools And impotent by nature’s rules Who would yet still a cow pursue Can teach us all a thing or two!

Coach Chris Rutnik Women s basketball has made a niche in the annals of ALS' Hooplaporium. The "Bessette's Bombers" team has also found a niche in the area women's intercollegiate basketball circuit. Its 1974-75 season was highly successful, despite second semester injuries. The season's rivals included the area varsity squads of RIM, St. Rose, Union and Maria College. Despite strong competition the women pulled through with a respectable 8-4 record. Much of the success relished by tire team was due to the excellent offensive playing by high-scoring guard, Lynn Outwater and fierce defensive maneuvering of Debbie Fagcl. Judy Joseph, Margie Chow and Marcia Radley. The 1975-76 season brought with it an expanded and even more challenging schedule, which included such strong varsity powers as Siena, Hudson Valley. Junior Col- lege of Albany, and the Albany Medical School. Some turnover in the squad occurred due to the departure of seniors Mary Pat Johnson and Chris Timbers. However, the incoming Frosh provided talented replacements--Kate Grant. Sheila Sloan and Norma llogan--whosc play-mak- ing abilities often sparked the Bombers to victory. This season has proved to be a difficult one but the area schools have recognized and have respected the competitive spirit of the ALS women's squad, ably coached by Jim Bessette and Chris Rutnik. Each member has made a val- uable contribution to the success of the team and to its acceptance into regional collegiate competition. --Patricia Leonard VOL Elaine Sloan demonstrates her dribbling skill.

Their activities are not, however, a result of tire rigors of law school. Rather, these students are engaged in that gentle- manly contact sport known as rugby. This year the Albany Law School Rugby Football Club, which is, incidentally, the best law school rugby club in the United States, has experienced its best year since the club's inception in the mid-1960s. In the Fall the A and B side's posted 6 -1 and4-2-1 records respectively. Thus far this Spring both sides are undefeated, and the B side is also unscored upon. The season began with a match at Skidmore against a strong Colgate club. While Rich Mont- gomery and Jim Campbell waited eagerly to star in the B side, each wearing their new topsiders for the game, the A side match commenced. Midway into the first half the Colgate fullback, receiving a kick, bobbled the ball as he heard the threatening footsteps of Dan Arno. Dan pounced on the loose ball to score a try. Captain Mike Roulan kicked the goal after try for 2 more points, and later added a 3 point penalty kick. In the second half, despite playing up a hill and against a strong wind, the A side held Colgate scoreless. The most valuable rugger award was given to Christ "Coco" Corcoran who developed a unique rugby technique: play- ing with a gash over his right eye (which later required 6 stitches) which spurted blood over his face and jersey thereby creating a highly menacing appearance. With his new rugby look Coco managed to win every hook the se- cond half thus enabling Law to withstand a 20 minute goalline attack by Colgate. The ended with Law winning 9-0. After a scoreless first half in the B game scrumhalf Chris Cernik became infuriated when a Colgate rugger attempted to pull what little hair Chris has. The incensed Cernik avenged the affront to his dignity by scoring a try after some fine field playing by Frank Messa and Mike Friedman. Later, Bill 'Three-Steps-Juke-Left-and-Go-Out- of-Bounds" Collins finally managed to juke right and gal- loped thrity yards down the sidelines to add another try. The next week the Law club travelled to the Berk- shires for a match against the Williams Ephmen. The first half of the A side match was marred by poor officiating and numerous penalties. At halftime Williams led 9-3. The 1974-75 A .L.S. Rugby Football Club: Front, 1. tor., Fred McGown, Jeff Wright, Terry Rice, Frank Messa, Chris Cernik, Eugene Grimmick, R. S. Ryan, Jim Bess- ette.

Bass, James Rich, Jr. During the second half the A side played better and the scrum, with the help of Big Jim Hayden and Black Eye Buzz Aldrich gradually took control of the game. "Scrum- er" Harry Rubing irked because no one would call him "Big Harry" plucked the ball out of a loose scrum and rambled 10 yeards for a try. Later Tony Daniele, Otis Bessette and Tom Welch were able to work the ball up- field passing it between them. Then as wing Tom Welch was being tackled, he passed the ball behind his back to Mike Roulan, and Mike ran over for a try. The decisive moment in the match came with fifteen minutes left and Law leading 11-9. Tom Welch kicked a perfect 40 yard drop kick for 3 points from an impossible angle. When Tom opened his eyes, he gazed upon a Williams club which was wholly demoralized by the miraculous feat. The final score: 14-9 for ALS. The B side crushed the Williams B side 15-0, tries being scored by Mike Vacek, Chris Cemil and Jim Camp- bell. The most spectacular play of the game was Jeff Wright's 30 yard drop kick made at full speed which bounced on die cross bar and dropped over for three points. Newcomers to the game of rugby, Kevin O'Shea and Mike Vacek, manhandled opponents (and even team- mates!) who stepped in their way during the game. The club strongly urges students, faculty and friends to attend the matches and the parties which follow. After all, where else can you see 30 grown men jumping on top of each odier? 53Albany's Mayor Erastus Corning II listens as an A .L.S. rugger explains the rules of the game.
