McCloskey Treasurer Four years ago, a struggling, awe-struck band of Freshmen gathered before the steps of the Auditorium. Father Deane tried to establish order, but failing hopelessly before the chaotic disorder turned us over to the tender ministrations of the Sophomores. In the weeks that followed we suffered much but also learned much about Ford ham that was to be of value to us in our years on Campus. Caps and tics were soon discarded, and the Freshmen became an essential part of school life. The outstanding feature of the year was the magnificent victory of the Freshman football ream over the N. V. U. Frosh in a charity game at the Yankee Stadium. The Maroon youngsters kicked, passed and ran in superlative fashion, giving great promise for their varsity careers which were to follow. The officers elected for Freshman year were Ed Malloy, President; Bob Dclancv, ice-President; Joe Tierney, Secretary; and Paul Travers, Treasurer. To us fell (lie necessity, on our return m Sophomore, of initiating the Freshmen, an office which was performed by the Vigilance Committee with some difficulty, open rebellion being met on many fronts. In fact one member of the committee well remembers having the tables completely turned upon him. However, complete amity was soon restored and things began to function normally. The Annual Prcscnrarion of the Mimes and Mummers was Twelfth Night.’ Bob Cox, in the role of Sir T’obv Belch and Bill Scliolz as Valentine gave verv fine performances and Fred Fresc as Maria Olivia s gentlewoman played excellently an otherwise most difficult role. The One-Act Play Contest, held later in the year, afforded the Thespians of the class another opportunity to display their talents. Bob Cox was adjudged rhe Best Actor, and James Albcrsc was the author of one of the competing plays. Lcn Riordan, Jack Murray and Bill Moody by their work behind rhe scenes helped immeasurably towards the evening’s success. 30 F O R D H A M Nor were religious matters neglected, as was attested by the attendance at the Sodality of rhe Holy Rosary. Under the guidance of the prefect, Laurence A. Leavev, and rhe secretary, Joseph F. Tierney, the missionary efforts of the members were excellently used in religious education on Cherry Street. It was in this year, too, that the Hughes Debaring Society was reorganized under Sophomore leadership. Griffirh Scott was elected president, and was assisted bv the Messrs. Bangcrt and Albcrsc, vice-president and secretary respectively. Howard Safarilc, Diclc Appcrt and George Hild were the most active among the fledgling orators. Returning to Fordham as,Juniors we found a most interesting and attractive year ahead of us. Ed Malloy, president, Dick Appcrt, vice-president, John Mulvihill, secretary and John McCluskcy, treasurer, were the leaders chosen to guide the destinies of the class. Tom Diskin, Joe Cummins, Henry Yiscardi, and Jimmv Fox found enough time to spare from philosophy to fulfill their duties as members of the Ring Committee. Their work was well done; and the girl friends were delighted upon receiving” our rings for Christmas. The Rivals, famous work of Sir Richard Brinsley Sheridan, was the annual vehicle of the Mimes and Mummers. Bob Cox as the tyrannical Sir Anthony Absolute gave his finest performance, and Bill Schol as Bob Acres was more than adequate. Fred Frese (again in a feminine role) gained great applause for his portrayal of Julia Melville, while Leonard Riordan most effectively directed work behind the scenes. The Glee Club was also very active, being heard over a nation-wide hook-up of the Columbia System and in many concerts at the neighboring colleges. The annual Town Hall Concert was particularly successful. Bob Di Pasca, John Maicr, Finbarr Sullivan, Joe Tirdel, John Geiger and Bill Foley were active in the club, the latter two as members of the Board of Directors. The Council of Debate, a popular organization with many of the Juniors, was capably represented by Ed Martin in Intercollegiate argumentation. Ralph Lewis, Griffith Scott, Howard Safarik, James Albersc and Dick Appcrt showed constant improvement with the passage of rime. Still another September saw the return of the native, and back to Fordham we came for our Senior Year and its attendant gymnastics in Psychology and Ethics. After three years as class president, Ed Malloy became president of the Athletic Association anil found capable assistance in Bill Casey and Fred Smith as vice-president, and secretary. Ralph Lewis was the people’s choice, and under his administration we enjoyed a most successful and social year Pete McCloskey, John Mulvihi!! and John Smith were also elected to class offices. The Raw, under the direction of Howard Five-Star Final Moran and business manager Nat McCaffrey swung immediately into its weekly production schedule. Yin Gibson, Bob Whalen, Gene Duffy, John Murray, Jack Smith, Jim Keenan, John Barnwell, Bill Matthias and Joe Quintavallc, who labored so consistently for four years to maintain the high standard of the college paper, received their just reward in being elected to the staff. The Mimes and Mummers this year presented Galsworthy's Strife, a play whose topic was of the moment. Boh Cox was again the stellar performer; and the supporting cast included such excellent players as James Towey, Fred Frese, Mike Broderick and Irving Ewers. In the One-Act Play Contest, William Scholz authored the winning play. Arthur O'Keefe displayed hitherto unsuspected talents by taking the Best 31 MAROON Actor’s award, and Grif. Scott, Irving Ewers, and Jim Kcncally also trod the boards in line style. Len Riordon was Stage Manager for these productions. The Ford ham Monthly, considered one of the finest college publications, was edited in brilliant style by Robert Faber. After four years of faithful stewardship, James Alberse became Business Manager. Associated with them in their labors were Laurence Leavev, Ed O’Sullivan, and E. Ramey Donovan. The Glee Club continued its fine work, and the annual Town Hall Concert under the direction of John Geiger was the most successful of its career. The Council of Debate had a valuable new member in Paul Shine, recently arrived from Boston College, who with Howard Safarik represented Fordham in the radio debate with Union. John O'Hara, Dick Appert and Ed Martin became prominent in Intercollegiate debate; and much credit must be given to the last-named member who as President worked hard for irs success. The Immaculate Conception Sodality did line work, particularly in the held of Social Service. The moving spirits were Greg Horgan, prefect; Dave Hughes, Bernard Lanigan, and Charlie Kahlcr; and their efforts were deeply appreciated by many of the parochial schools and clubs of the city anil suburbs. The Retort under the guidance of Frank Donohue and Ed Broad helped Fordham's fame in circles scientific. Bill Kelchner and Pete Giotta were tirelessly active in Chemical Circles; while Pete McCloskey and Jack Kouba gained prominence in the Mendel Club and the publication of Cnbmuth The various state clubs contributed much to the social side of life. The Brooklyn-Long Island dance was a triumph for Jack Keenan and Pete McCloskey, and the Jersey Club affair under the direction of John Mulvihill and John McGuirk was well attended by the local boys. While no previous mention has been made of athletics, it is not to be assumed that the men of 1934 were not active in sports. On the diamond. Captain Frank McDermott led a fine team into action. Ken Auer and Red Keenan did much of the mound work with Fred Sager and Jerry Pepper helping to round our the supporting casr. In basketball, the Seniors were represented by Captain Pepper, Bill Fleming, Tom Lynch and Dan Williams, all letter men. Captain John Mulvihill and Jim Cowhig helped to carry on Fordham's tradition in track affairs by their fine performances on the relay ream during the indoor season. In tennis, E Ramey Donovan, twice winner of the indoor Intercollegiate title, was an outstanding performer. Bill Harrington, Vincent Leibell and Gene Clarke lent him able assistance. On the links, Barney Lanigan led his team mates with consistently fine performances, and Bill Dolan, Jack Murray, Walt Rcnz and Ralph Lewis were very well-known to golf enthusiasts. Vinnic McMahon captained the swimming team in the season just closed. Dave Hughes, Jim Power, and Bill Kelchner have turned in many consistent performances in the tank; while in water polo, Charles Orrncr was ranked among the finest. The most glorious deeds, however, were done on the gridiron. Led by Captain Ed Danowski, one of the greatest backs ever to wear the Maroon, an illustrious group of Seniors recently closed their gridiron careers. Among them were John Dell lsola, a center of All-American calibre; Frank McDermott, fiery quarter-back and the real spark plug of the team; Pop Howell, tiny guard. Walter Uzdavinis, a really great tackle; Jerry Pepper, forward-passer dc luxe. Joe Bonitskv, a typical watch-charm 32 F O R D HAM type of end and Ed Fitzgerald, running guard. All of them have won a lasting place in our memories by their great playing. Thus closes another chapter in the brilliant history of Fordham. Another generation of her sons is setting out on the pathway of life, and from the lips of each rises the universal prayer of the Fordham man And m the years that are to he May life t nd love lx true to me, 0 l:ordbam, Alma Mater t As I am true to thee.'' —Daniel J. McAuliffe, '34 33 M A R ° N DJMITTE NOBIS DEBITA NOSTRA Now, dear parents, that the son and heir has successfully graduated, and you arc probably as surprised as he is, we would ask a moment of your time to explain a few things to come. During the course of going to press it was suggested that we should consider the mothers and fathers. Ir is they we were told who have toiled, struggled and sacrificed rhar on some glowing June day they might take their places in the stands and casually applaud rheir offspring as he kneels on the wrong knee to kiss the Cardinal's ring. Wasn't ir Mom who perspired so unselfishly in the kitchen that the cake might be put into the posr on time; or held dinner until 7, 8, even 8:30 for late classes? Sure it was. And all that she might enjoy that day of days. Pop, too, did his part in true N. R. A. style Having labored zealously in his office to solve that greatest of great problems niblick vs. mashic, the marrer of ruition was a small marrer. Take your bow. Dad. So you see, we have considered you individually and together. The result? You are human beings precious to us for your interest and self-sacrifice. But do you know college life of today, dears? We'll give just a short explanation. The most dignified professors at Fordham are nor above joking with us. That's no lie. One, in fact, perhaps unwittingly, mentioned that he understood the fun we poked at him. Why be affected? No reason. What is lcft?Just we, as we arc; not in class, (for rhcrc we were all students pure and simple bur outside, when discipline was but a memory. That is what we have aimed at in the write-ups. The lads have upped-and-atted themselves and are once more at home -only this time with loads of things, such as parchment, a might-is-right expression and, not the least important, the Maroon! Ray! Please, pals, we know Jimmy was sweet and Andy was all one could ask for in a son, but can you imagine putting that in print? We say again, please! If you find the material not exactly flowery and artificial nor containing all the fine merits each chap holds by his birthright, forgive us, space wouldn’t |'crmir. Thev are all great fellows and we feel sure rhar even though we haven't stressed intellectuality in all cases it really shouldn’t matter; for what we have done is to present, as accurately as we knew how, your son, your son, and yours as he was with his friemls a real man! In so doing we hope we will he able to know each and every one of them whenever we get a chance to look through this—our class book. How about it? You're with us, aren't you? Thanks.

Gooding Samurl McClelland Thomas Cooley William Fitzpatrick President Vice- President Secretary Treasurer The Junior Class composed approximately of rhree hundred srudenrs settled down to business in October, when the important question of the Junior Ring Committee had to be solved. It was decided that the class representatives should till this position; hence, rhe big struggle was the election of class representatives. After the smoke and lire of campaign battles had died, the following were the men chosen: Roger Lennon, A, John Horan, B, James Gallico, C. David Roche, D, and Salvatore Di Michaels, E. A week after their election, these men met and Dave Roche was chosen chairman of the committee. Since it was imperative that the Juniors have their rings before Christmas why, we don't know), there was much ado about the letting of contracts. After careful consideration of the relative merits of the sample rings submitted, Loren Murchison and Co., of New Jersey, was favored as offering the most value for the least money. This was especially necessary to consider, because of the advanced price of the gold ounce, which naturally raised rhe price of the rings. On No ember 10, came the second most important event ol the year, when the annual Minor Logic Specimen was held. Fr. Deane presided, and the examining board consisted of the various professors of Philosophy, including some of the Senior Psychology and Ethics instructors. Simple apprehension, the judgment, reasoning and allied notions comprised the matter. Students selected at random by Fr. Deane answered the questions proposed; and as usual many new and interesting (it nor quite orthodox) solutions were offered. 194 O R D H M Perhaps rhe mosr outstanding scholastic cvcnr for Juniors (as well as Seniors) was the Scientific Symposium held on March 23 The theme was the consricurion of matter, and the Junior class was well represented. Three of the live speakers were Juniors: Herman J. Herbert discussed general notions on rhe scientific method and offered answers to some common objections to the discrete theory of matter, Joseph T. Cashman spoke at length on the tentacles of the atom and the hooks of Democritus and submitted the physicist s proof of their existence; while Vincent J. Torney chose as his topic the atomic view of light. The meeting was presided over by another Junior, Vaughan Gooding, the class president. Juniors also took prominence in various extra-curricular activities. The Raw included such good newspaper men as William B. MeGurn, Carl L. Albert, Frank Brown, and Robert Dobson, of rhe editorial board; Neal Roche and Walter Sprouls of the news board; Tom Lenahan, Jim O’Donovan, and George Appcll, scribes of things sporting; while F.

Kennedy ami Dan Garde did much ro enhance the caliber of the Glee Club's repertoire; and the Mimes and Mummers owe much to Jim Fogarty and Dan Garde for their interesting and entertaining appearances. In the realm of athletics. Juniors also were outstanding. On March 22 the class basketball team clinched the intramural championship with a decisive victory over rhe Seniors. Throughout rhe tournament the third year quintet lost but two games and won seven. Such sterling court performers as Bill Dooley, Stan Stankavish, Charley Rosen, Jim Nagle and Ace Gcraghry were the contributing factors in this well-earned victory. On rhe All-Star team selected by rhe coaches and referees of the tourney, Jim Nagle was placed ar center and Stan Stankavish earned a guard post. Bill Dooley and Charley Rosen were honorably mentioned. Only one great hurdle remains in the Junior steeplechase the orals. But having run so successfully up to now, we fed that this last jump will be comparatively easy. Oh veah? ' John Horan, '35 F O R D H 196 M CLASS OF 36 John J. Hunt Edward J. Coe Denis A. O’Donnf.i.i Donald Campbell President Vice-President Secretary Treasurei The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Were it possible for Shakespeare to meet the class of '36, he would most probably retract that statement; for who dares to say our deeds will be interred deeds that have made us the most outstanding class of the years '33 and '34. cf. To I.ucv” by Wordsworth, e g., Violet s) by a mossy sronc. Wc also can quote poetry.) The gracious reception to the incoming Freshmen marked our formal debut into Fordhain's horizon. Caps and tics followed, and because we lost to the class of '35 in swimming, track, and tug o' war, we were forced to wear them until the end of the football season. On our return in September however, we were an entirely different class. The Fascinating (?) routine of college life and dreams of football Saturdays to follow occupied our every waking rr.omenr. It was in football that the Sophs really showed their ability. Let it here be known that wc arc laying claim to the Danowski crown to be worn bv the diminutive Steve Sorota. His quick thinking, fast running and bulldog tenacity will be great factors in reserving for him a berth on the All-American. One Sophomore alone won the Alabama game; that blocked kick was the deed of Baby Face Sarno, another man of All-American material. This coming year too, wc arc expecting great things from Maniaci, Rossi, Sabo, Regan, and Hussey, all good men forming the foundation of Crowley’s Polish Corridor. 197 M R O O N Thanks ro Fr. James A. Taaffe, S.J., Mr. J. Berchmans Morris, S.J., and Mr. J. Gerard Cregan, many Thespians of note have been discovered and encouraged. To mention but a few, there arc Thomas Hilbcrr, John J. McGivcr, James Kane, John Hunt (our president) and William C. Should ice, Jr. In this line too we must mention Thomas J. Fitzmorris, author of one-act plays. In the press and editorial rooms of the Raw and rhe Ford haw Monthly we have placed many men who are proving their ability to carry on the Fordham tradition. Tom Fitzmorris by his literary ability and artistic endeavors has brought further glory to the Monthly; while the Raw includes on irs staff such stalwarts as Tom Canning, Eugene Audi, James McCrysral, Vin McLaughlin, Artie Mulligan, Mike Barsa, John Spollcn, and Clinton Maguire. In the field of music, too, the class has given a fine account of itself. At the Town Hall Concert, a well-balanced program was delivered to an appreciative audience. Again, Sophomores had an important part. James Deignan was violinist and rhe choristers included John P. Kearney and William C. Shouldice, Jr. In basketball, we have such flashy and dependable stars as De Phillips, a man with an eye for the basket; Reinachcr, always down under and free of his man; and Fritzsche, O'Brien, Brennan, and Cassell, men who have really fought to place Ford-ham on top. De Phillips, Fritzsche and Ladroga also excel in baseball; the name Giesen will be linked with all swimmers of merit, his powerful crawl placing him well in the lead. In track. Art Janncll and Calijone have proven their ability on the boards. They can hold a lead when one is given them; or push ahead when such is required. Surely then, without any trace of egotism, it can be said that the deeds of the class of 1936 will linger long in rhe annals of Fordham s history. —William C. Sholldicis, Jr., 36 199 MAROON CLASS OF ’37 William E. Kennedy ..... President Matthew Boylan ..... I ice-President Edward A. White . Secretary Leo F. PaqUIN...............................................Treasurer Ir has been a Ion rime since Fordham saw as many Freshmen gather within its portals at one time as it did in September 1933- Indeed, the number continued to grow for some time after the scholastic year had begun, swelling Freshman ranks to almost 500. Nor was there any sacrifice of quality for quantity, as is so often the case. The matters recorded herein give ample testimony to the certain loyalty and genuine achievement of the class of '37. To begin with, the Freshman class of which we speak was not herded about willy-nilly by an all-powerful vigilance committee. To tell the truth, the situation was reversed. Not that the Freshmen failed to cooperate. (Oh, no!) Their attitude was simply one of self-assertion. In the end, they were congratulated for all that they had done by friends and foes alike. (?) Freshman week proper, intended to imbue the newcomers with Fordham spirit, did just that. Thenceforth it became a case of everywhere rhar Fordham went, the Frosh were sure ro go. Possibly ir was because these newcomers learned so quickly the ways and traditions of Fordham that caused (he sudden dispersal of the vigilantes. Certain it is, at any rate, that the Frcshics became their own masters. In the course of events, a Freshman-Sophomore swimming meet and a Frosh-Soph rug o’ war were held. Their purpose was to cement the bond between these two classes more firmly. The outcome, of course, is but an insignificant detail. Ir is a matter of 200 FORDHAM record however, that the Sophomores lose gloriously in both these contests. In short, the palm of victory went to Freshmen on land and sea. Oftentimes, varsity athletic coaches arc compelled ro resign rhcmsclvcs to a very discouraging eventuality an absence of Freshman material The Freshman reams in the field in the year '33- 34 showed no absence of lirst-rate stuff. As a matter of fact, if statistics alone arc considered, the record for Freshmen in the major sports outshines even that of the varsity. (TrueFreshmen—ever modest.}Thc Freshman football team played through its season without one defeat. This squad of stalwarts included many who promise brilliant football careers at Fordham. There were McDermott, McMahon, McGirrricIc, McCrchan, McCrann, Reardon, Randall, Maurre, Polaski, Jansen, Sweeney, Richards, Healey, Mullens, Palou, Paqum, and Nev—every one of them a lighter. Their success augurs well for the future. Successful as was the football team, its glory in no way eclipsed that of the basketball squad. One team alone, the violent Violets, kept the Freshman quintet from achieving a clean slate for the season. The Ramlets improved with every game, at length rolling up scores almost at will. Fordham basketball fans can look for some outstanding performances in the next few years. The tennis tournament was the occasion of bringing forrh the future court stars. Walsh was the outstanding Frosh racketeer. On the cinder path, too, Freshman breasted the tape, with Mike Rafferty blazing his way through cross-country and indoor meets. The class has its representatives in every other branch of Fordham activity as well. Debating, dramatics, literary endeavors all saw the influence of Freshman participation. Glee Club, Orchestra, and Band were filled with Freshmen lovers of music. Several of the cheerleaders were Freshmen. In short, the class of '37 has begun well. The Freshman dinner held larc in 1933, and arranged for by the officers of Sophomore, was one of those unforgettable things. In addition to marking the initiation of Frosh '37 into full-fledged Fordhamisin, it served to strike the keynote of the attitude of the class as a whole. That actirude is one of comradeship; not demonstration but loyalty; not flag-waving but a near-devotion. This is what exists among us first of all. We offer it to Fordham. (And Fordham says: Thanks, cherubs.) William F. Kennedy, 37 202 F O R D HAM ORGANIZATIONS TIIE STUDENT COUNCIL Rev. Ferdinand Schoberg, S J Eugene H Duffy, 34 Moderator Chairman MEMBERS Ralph F.

Lord, the National Director of the Sodality. The plan was to make the Sodality a contact bureau for the Campus Activities among the neighboring parishes and schools. As far as can be judged at this early date the plan under the leadership of Edward Martin, the assistant prefect, was a decided success. In addition to this new work, rhe catechetical insrrucrion under Gregory Morgan, prelect, and the direction of a Catholic Bovs'Club, supervised by the secretary,David Hughes, was continued from the preceding year. The Literature Committee with its chairman, Neil Rorkc, was another activity which was begun this past year. Its purpose was to review the current crop of books and recommend rhosc worthy of reading. These reviews were run in the Campus Magazines and were greatly appreciated. All this work ol Catholic Action was carried on under rhe spiritual guidance of the moderator, Father J. Joseph Lynch, S.J. His inspiring and encouraging words helped immeasurably the sodality's efforts toward success. 211 THE HOLY ROSARY SODALITY Rev. Ignatius W. Cox. S.J. Richard J.

These talks have been highly inspiring and have helped much toward the success of the sodality. This sodality, like the Immaculate Conception Sodality, has interested its members in catechetical instruction among our more benighted brethren, particularly among the boys of the so-called slums. The members in true Salvation Army style trudged cheerfully down the elm-lined path to bring religion to those who needed it. Frequently it was a case of carrying coals to Newcastle. As is his custom, the Moderator, Father Cox, again this year delivered several discourses on the beautiful doctrine The Mystical Body of Christ. Father Cox knows this subject very well; hence the members found the lectures well worth the hearing. 212 THE ST. JOHN BERCHMANS’ SODALITY Joseph T. Webber, S.J. Edwin C. Furby, 34 Daniel M.

They also act as the servers at the Solemn Masses celebrated three or four times a year in Sr. Johns' Church. Meetings arc held bi-weekly either as instructions in the Mass and Church symbolism, or as rehearsals for rhe Solemn Masses. The last meeting, however, takes the form of a banquet. The members of this sodalitv arc not to be thanked lor their sacritu.es, but congratulated.

What with four years of depression behind them, even the best Hart, Schafrner or Fashion Park outlit could bear up under the strain no longer. And since charity begins at home, in came many contributions to the society, primarily to spread charity; but serving also to bring the appearance ol the shabby rich'' to neighboring scrrlcmcnr houses. As for missionary work on Randall's Island well, the spirit was willing, but the flesh sometimes weak. Johnny Mulvihill did work, however, to bring jov to the hearts of the sick; and he reports a case where one patient took up his bed and walked after reading a perfectly corking edition of one of the current magazines. Then, too, the Christmas collection was good. As for an impromptu smoker the members arc still looking for the missing cider barrel. THE HARVESTER CLUB Rev Joseph I Beglan, S.J. Joseph J. Crimmins, '34 JohnJ. McGinty. Jr., '34 Thomas A. Diskin', '34 Francis X. Norris, '32 Moderator President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Harvester Club of Fordham University, under the helpful direction of Father Beglan, identifies its purpose with that of aiding the missions; in particular, the Jesuit Mission at Cagayan in the Philippines. As is usual with most organizations dependent for existence upon the charity of others, the going was pretty tough. New methods for support had to be devised; and out of these came the glorified smokers of happy memory. The returns (monetarily speaking) were splendid; and the entertainment will not soon be forgotten. Remember the wrestling march of Brennan vs Howell; The King with the Terrible Temper (especially Jerry McTiguc and Jeff Tumulty as the beautiful daughters); the perfectly swell introductions made by Eddie Martin, the Cotton Club entertainers, and the double quartette (of seven members)? It was a great night It would be unfair not to mention the semi-annual visits to the parochial schools, in an endeavor to stimulate interest in the missions; unfair, too, to forget the splendid work done by the members ar rhe recent archdioccsan mission exhibition. The year's record is a good one, accept a toast, gentlemen! THE COUNCIL OF DEBATE Raymond W. Schouten, S J. Moderator Edward A. Martin, Jr., '34 President Richard H. Appert, 34 Vice- President Gf.oroe V. Hild, ’ 34 Secretary Vincent J. Gibson, ’34 Treasurer John J. McGtnty,Jr , '34 Censor James F. Keenan, ’34 Historian In order ro commemorate as best they could the eightieth anniversary of this organization, the sixty members of the Council of Debate took upon their shoulders the heaviest schedule yet undertaken in the society's history of forensic activity. Together with the Moderator, Mr. Schouteri, flic Senior debaters pledged themselves to extend tlic lectures, intramural, and intercollegiate schedules to limits never reached before 1934. Thar the plans materialized is evident from the record. The lecture program was entrusted to John G. O’Hara as chairman, with Daniel J O'Connor as his assistant. These men set last year's record of forty-live lecture appearances as their model upon which to build their plans. The members visited various organizations throughout the metropolitan area, ranging from Newman club and 216 Holy Name meetings to political and social fraternities. Each week men were sent to the meeting of the Newman Club of Roosevelt High to address the students on some phase of Catholic doctrine or history. Every man in the council appeared upon an extra-mural platform and received no other reward than the magnificent training and service to others which this work gave to the faithful workers. As was the aim of the Moderator, this program became the most important branch of the Council's work; and the number and reputation of the debaters attest to their zeal and labor in this special field of Catholic Action. In conjunction with the lecture schedule, weekly meetings were held in the Council chambers in which the undergraduate teams argued pros and cons of current topics. These weekly meetings while offering information and constructive criticism were also the testing grounds for the selection of teams sent beyond iheCampus to carry on rhe extension program. Not content with the record of sixty lectures and debates, as well as the unrelenting succession of weekly discussions, the Council members took over an intercollegiate schedule which included fourteen universities and colleges. At the present writing, the varsity teams of the Council have won six consecutive debates, out of a total of seven decision contests. The opening debate of the current season was held on December 3 in Collins Audirorium. At rhis mccring, Harvard University succeeded in doing what up to the present has not been done by any other foe; by a two to one vote the debaters from Cambridge won a decision over Richard H. Appcrt, Howard R Safarik, and Edward A. Martin, Jr. The eight hundred people in the audience heard Harvard successfully oppose the increase of the United States Navy to London Naval Treaty strength. The firsr debate away from home found Paul J. Shine and Howard Safarik travelling to Albany for the no-decision contest with the New York State College for Teachers; this was followed bv the victory over Union College in a radio debate broadcast over Station WGY. In both debates the Fordham team upheld the Presidential program against the opponents’ favoring the former Gold Standard. The third victory was turned in by John G. O'Hara anti F.. Ramey Donovan on February 15, when they won over the University of Pennsylvania after a successful defense of the permanency of the N. R. A. The fourth followed four days later when Safarik, Martin, and Neal J. Roche of Junior gained the decision over Hobart College on the Navy question. Johns Hopkins visited Fordham on the 23th of February and were turned back by Appert and O'Hara on the N. R. A. The third contest away from the Campus was held on March 8 in Jersey City before an audience oi over eight hundred j’eople, and found Shine, O'Connor, and James P. Tumulty of Junior winning over Rutgers on the question concerning the value and trend of Modern Advertising. The question of the Presidential powers was rhe ncxr topic of debate, and this point was effectively settled by Griffith J. Scort and James F. Keenan defeating the representatives of the University of Florida on March 19. 217 M A R O O N Early in April rhc Council debaters met the University of Pittsburgh. The march was held in the Fraternity Clubs Building in New York and the topic of discussion was the N. I. R. A., with Fordham favoring the affirmative side. Fordham lost. As the Maroon goes to press, debates are scheduled with rhc University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; Juniata College in Huntington, Pa.; the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh; and Canisius College in Buffalo. These last four contests arc part of the Spring tour annually undertaken by the Council; and the men chosen for this year's foray arc Dick Apperr, John O'Hara, and Ed Martin, all of Senior. The point at issue in these, as with the final debate against Catholic University, will be the N. I. R. A. The men chosen for the last contest will be Paul Shine, Ed. Martin, and Herbert J. Herman. As you see, the members of the society, under Mr. Schoutcn’s guidance, have carried out very well the aim established in September last. To them all is due credit for their successful endeavors. Gentlemen, we concede you the victory. 218 O R D H M THE HUGHES DEBATING SOCIETY Thomas P. Ward, S.J. Edward B. McDermott. '36 Robert A. McElligott, 36 William J. Mirten, '36 . Moderator President Vice-President Secretary The purpose of this organization, according ro rhe Moderator, is the development of expression of ideas on current topics, the art of debate, etc., etc. We beg leave ro disagree with the Rev. Moderator; for we feel sure that we are quire correct when we assert rhar this Freshman and Sophomore organization, like all other debating societies, is nothing else rhan a preparatory school for future congressmen. Bur despite this, we're noc discouraged, for we know that these embryo statesmen possess something that some of our more noted past and contemporary legislators lacked: brains. In proof whereof witness the victory of this club over the strong Marquette Debating Society of Boston on Friday, March 21. The topic was: Resolved, Thar the United States should abandon the Monroe Doctrine; and the members who secured the victory were John Barry, '37, William Kevins, '37, and Lawrence Donoghuc, ‘37. There's still hope, you see, for a bigger and herrcr deal for us, the dear pcc-pul, ar the hands of our representatives of the future. 219 MIMES AND MUMMERS J. Berchmans Morris, S. J. Moderator Rp.v. James A. Taaffe, S.J. Dramatic Director J. Gerard Cregan, M.A., LL.B. Assistant Director Robert McI. Cox, '34 President James P. Towey, '34 Vice-President William J. Scholz, 34 Secretary Vincent J. Gibson, '34 General Manager Leonard F. Riordan, '34 Stage Manager Laurence A. I.eavf.y, '34 Thomas A. Diskin’, 34 James W. Fogarty, '35 lion id oj Directors The enthusiastic participation by ns members in all branches of dramatic art has marked this year as one of the most successful periods ever enjoyed by the Mimes and Mummers. Instrumental in guiding the Mimes in such a favorable course have been the unselfish efforts of many members of the present Senior class who have contributed their talents nor only as actors treading flic boards but as members of the Stage Crew and of countless subsidiary committees. When the curtain rose on the current season's dramatic activities, the Mimes 220 F O R D H A M offered as irs Annual Varsity Presentationy Strife, the immortal play of the late John Galsworthy, in Collins Auditorium on the evenings of December 14 and 15. The performance of the players was the result of seven weeks of careful training under the experienced tutelage of Father Taaffe and Mr. Cregan. These directors have had wide and thorough familiarity with all phases of amateur presentations, and under their pointed criticisms the members of the cast came to know the most minute shadings of the characters which they were portraying. With their hearty encouragement and individual cooperation a solidly functioning group of comparative strangers to the boards” became finished players. Centering its theme about the age-old struggle between capital and labor, Strife was replete with dramatic contrasts and offered excellent opportunities for individual dramatic portrayals. Essaying the role of Roberts, the strike leader, Robert Cox, the presidenr of rhe Mimes, in rhe opinion of many who witnessed his performance, attained heights rarely achieved by col lege Thespians. Mention must be also given to Daniel F. Garde, 35 for his highly creditable portrayal of John Anthony, chairman of the capitalistic faction. Among the others who were cast in prominent roles were Irving E. Ewers, James P. Towcy, Michael J. Broderick, Fred J. Frese, all members of the class of 1934: and James W. Fogcrty, '35 and John I. McGivcr, ’36. On February 16 the Mimes presented as the second highlight on the dramatic calendar of the year a well-rounded program of six onc-act-plavs in the thirteenth annual contest. This is a contest peculiar to Fordham and has for irs purpose the encouragement and promotion not only of the writing of original plays, but also the directing and stage designing as well. As a consequence a versatility with every phase of theatrical work is developed. The Mimes were most fortunate in securing as Judges of the contest Pedro de Cordoba, veteran stage star; Harrison J. Lewis, actor and director; and William Kennedy, playwright. After a difficult selection owing ro the keenness of the competition, the Board of Judges selected Hotspur” written by W illiam ). Scholz, ’34 as the prize-winning vehicle. Next in merit in the opinion of the judges was His Own 221 maroon Petard’” by James D. Albcrsc, 34. Completing the list of prize-winners were also two members of the Senior class. For his impressive performance in the prize-winning vehicle, Arthur G. O'Keefe was adjudged the best actor. Despite the facr rhat this was the iiist time that O’Keefe ever appeared in a varsity presentation, his presence and natural ease showed a complete mastery of the suave personality of Hopkinson Smith, a young English playwright. Second only ro the latter was the acting of Griffith J Scott who en tered in the propaganda play of Albcrsc the role of a vehement objector to the war-instigating activities of a munition company. For the sympathetic handling of their roles honorable mention was awarded to Robert Mcl. Cox, Edward A. Martin, Jr., Irving E. Ewers, James M. Kcncally of Senior year and Daniel F Garde, 35- The Connoisseurs bv Samuel D. McClelland, '35; V. Worry and Company by James T. Deacy, '33; The Return by Thomas J. Firzmorris, 36; and The Up and Lemon by Donald G. Pierce, '35, completed the program. The plays were later adapted for the radio by James D. Albcrsc, '34 and presented weekly over station WLWL. The various casts were retained and thus an opportunity was afforded the members of the Mimes to gain some experience in radio work. In an effort to culminate the final event with a parallel success all departments arc preparing (as the Maroon goes to press) for the Freshman One-Act-Plav Contest on April 27, in which scripts written by Freshman Authors will be enacted by Freshman actors, and sraged by Freshman technicians. The plays will be directed by upperclassmen. Those selected for the contest and their authors arc Fear by Vincent W. Hartnett, The Incorruptible by Victor A. Hcidc, No Other Choice by Raymond J. Walsh; Deadline by James J. Donovan; Spirit of the Hills by Michael J. O'Neill; Success by Joseph A. Mundy; He Didn't Know Nuttin’, ’ by Robert J. Hyland. With the resumption of the Annual Intercollegiate One-Act-Play Contest, the Mimes arc also training the prize winning actors for the enactment of Lewis Beech's A Gucsr For Dinner. The men who will compete against rhe representatives of Sr. Peter s College, St Joseph’s College, and Georgetown University, arc Robert Mcl. Cox, Irving E. Ewers, James W. Fogarty, and John I. McGivcr. The final undergraduate appearance for Cox and Ewers will find them portraying their roles with the sympathy and finesse which has characterized their histrionic abilities at Fordham. While the actors were rehearsing, the Stage Crew under the untiring energy of Leonard F. Riordan has labored daily in the workroom planning and devising sets and lighting effects ro further enhance the success of rhe dramatic production. The difficult task of General Manager in charge of all departments was ably carried on by the zealous labor of Vincent J Gibson Aiding him materially in the work behind the scenes was Edward A. Martin, Jr., who as Chairman of the Publicity Committee was ably assisted by John J. McGinty, '34, and Joseph F. McCarthy, '34. Before concluding, we take this opportunity to extend a well-merited curtain call to the Moderator, Mr. J. Berchmans Morris, S.J. whose role called for no lighting effects but shone by its own brilliance. By his guidance the Mimes maintained and strengthened its position as one of the foremost Campus organizations. FORDHAM THE FORDHAM MONTHLY Josfph B. Monaghan, S J Robert C. Fader James D.

O’Sullivan Neal J. Rorke The Fordham Monthly, while retaining its position as one of the greatest college literary magazines, has undergone many changes during the past year. The first issue of the fifty-second volume, with Joseph B. Monaghan, S.J as Moderator, Robert C. 223 Faber as Ediror and James D Albcrse as Business Manager, acrracted much favorable attention; for the new format was the result of concerted and painstaking eifort to secure an external appearance for the magazine which would most fittingly become the excellence of its literary content. Undergraduate approval has more than vindicated this step, while letters from the alumni echoed the approbation of rhe Campus. Father Augustus M. Fremgen, S.J., Moderator of the Monthly during the Golden Age, has explicitly stated that the 1933-34 magazine rivals any volume published during his regime. This is praise indeed. Robert C. Faber, Editor, has adequately upheld his reputation during the past year. His devotion to the writing of verse has not precluded the composition of timely and penetrating editorials, and his memorable study of Gerard Manley Hopkins has formed a fitting climax to his literary career at Fordham. Senior year has served to accentuate the phenomenal versatility of James D. Albcrse, Business Manager and fecund contributor. Adept at stories, poems, essays and dramas, he found time to parallel his journalistic endeavor with a capable and vigilant guidance of the Monthly’s monetary affairs. The Assistant Business Manager, William F. Michelfelder, is at the same time the author of the newly innovated and extremely popular dramatic department. The Aisle Sent; and of numerous animated short srorics of contemporary life. Another old timer of the Senior Class is Edmund V. O’Sullivan, clever and erudite author of essays on widely differing fields. More recent Senior members of the staff are: E. Ramey Donovan, light essayist who says many a serious thing under the guise of humor; Jules A. Beckary, interpreter and critic of things French; Howard J. Moran, genial editor of Vordhamoisia; Neal J. Rorke, herald of better things in the New Books; and James McNcclv, light versifier with an agile touch. The Junior Class boasts William F. Cahalan, poet extraordinary and talented essayist. S D McClelland, his worthy peer in the service of the muse, and John Donovan, Jr., who has resurrected the Antidote, humorous department which flourished in the Golden Age. The Sophomore Class produces George McKenna, poet of Swinburnian propensities, and the remarkable Thomas J. Fitzmorris. Mr. Fitzmorris farhers an abundance of fiction, consistently meritorious verse, and in his capacity as Art Ediror, pen and ink-sketches in varying technique. The Senior members, who now quit the Sanctum, lay down their pens with a feeling of satisfaction and hope that future members of the staff will even further amplify the distinction which the Fordham Monthly now enjoys. 224 F O R D HAM THE RAM HowardJ.

As might he expected, no small credit must be given ro the fourteen seniors who formed the nucleus of the staff. By their diligence and perseverance, the finest traditions of the fourth estate continued to be carried out. They did a great job, and the clamors of the student-body on Thursday mornings were but the popular tribute to their efforts. We should like to suggest a congressional medal for the following men. Bur congressional medals being so cheap now, we offer the next best thing—a listing in this, our Who’s Who.” Howard J. Moran, as Editor-in-Chief, brought to the position an almost infinite capacity for detail and a true realization of the need for maintaining both student and alumni interest. His editorials, as someone remarked, represented economy in words and plenitude in thought. The Managing Editor, Robert G. Whalen deserves commendation for maintaining the unfailing symmetry of the Raw's format, a quality which won for the paper a high place among the country’s leading college journals. In addition, he was the feature writer of the staff and, as such, was the fireman s child, ready for any emergency. To those business men who arc looking for a man to put their product on a paying basis, we recommend Nathaniel P. McCaffrey, the suave Business Manager. He established the paper as a powerful advertising medium and, thanks to his financial direction, gave it a New Deal. That’s not a bad record. In the line of sports, John J. Smith, the Sports Editor, won recognition for his intimate and informative columns on Fordham athletes and athletics. To Red goes thccrcdir for the colorfulness of the second grear page in American newspapers. And speaking of sporting events, we must not forget to mention John C. Barnwell, the star sports writer. No matter what the occasion, Jack was sure to be found in the front line of the press boxes. This year he inaugurated Rawewories, a traditions column, which drew much favorable comment. He was given valuable assistance in the reporting of athletic news by William C. Matthias, George E. Mullen, Jr., and John T. Murray. On rhe Editorial Board, Joseph I Quintavalle, veteran reporter, and the special correspondents, Edward A. Martin, Jr., Vincent J. Gibson, and Eugene H. Duffy, represent the hidden forces behind the excellent editing of rhe Raw. Their work-made sure the smooth running of rhe paper. To James F. Keenan fell the important task of distributing the paper about rhe college and supervising its journey through the mail. His efficiency was equalled only bv his indefatigable energy; and his energy was a source of annoyance ro all rhe lazy ones around. So draw your own conclusions. John J. MeGinty, Jr., managed the detailed work of keeping the reference files up ro the minurc. The morgue is a mine of information about Fordham and Fordham notables, past and present. All concerned admit he deserves every commendation for his untiring zeal on rhe post. Besides the seniors mentioned, several underclassmen by their contributions maintained the interest of the Raw. John J. Donovan, '35 caught the student fancy with his chatty Winchcllcsquc Rambling. John J. Horan, '35 was the Exchange Editor and authored Off Campus; while James De Pasqualc, 35, by his cartoons, and William B. MeGurn, '35, on the News Board, gave copiously of their time and energy. To these men, we are happy to give recognition for rheir work. Ir is of little moment when compared ro rhe successful task they have done. 226 fordham THE FORDHAM UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB Rev.

Kearney 227 MAROON Carrying on a tradition of line music, good fellowship and truly representative collegiate activity, the Glee Club has recently completed a season which in point of public appearances, has been most successful. The work of the class of '34 has now passed into the realms of memory bur with many happy recollections, we feel as did Walt Whitman. “The song is to the singer and comes back most to him. It never fails.” The season opened with the Solemn High Mass of the Holy Ghost in the Fordham University Chapel, an event which marked the formal opening of the school year. About a month later the current concert season began at the College of Mount St. Vincent. Appearances were made in the next lour months at the College of Sr. Eliza-beth, Good Counsel College, Georgian Court College and ar Norre Dame College, Staten Island; ar the last of rhese institutions mentioned, the Glee Club gave an audition for the first time at this newly established College. The organization made-appearances also ar the Christmas Midnight Mass of the Alumni Sodality (held in the Fordham University Chapel); at the Faculty Convocation; ar rhe Baccalaureate-Mass, and at the Votive Mass in honor o( St. Ignatius. Nor must we forgee the occasion of the concert at the Bishop Dunn Memorial Mission Exhibition. A lerrer to rhe Modcraror, from the directors of rhe exhibition, gave unstinted praise to the club for its splendid performance, a fact which was echoed bv the applause of the vast audience that attended. The climax of the season of course was the annual concert given at the Town Hall on March 21. The Chairman of the concert was John Geiger, 34, who was ably assisted by the entire Board of Directors, especially by Joseph Crimmins and Charles Spratt. The labors of the committee were amply rewarded by the enthusiastic crowd. The club was assisted at this concert by Joseph McDonald, '36, the baritone soloist and a double quartette of glee club members, who rendered several novel selections. One of rhe most effective concert selections was the beautiful and moving “Largo of Handel, in which the Glee Club was accompanied by piano, organ and string quartette. Following the Town Hall appearance rhe Glee Club was invited by the N.B.C. to broadcast over a national hook-up. The radio concert was given in April, and from all reports was exceptionally well done. No little credit for the splendid success of this season is due ro rhe admirable and sympathetic direction of our conductor, Mr. Frederic Joslvn. Without his untiring effort and enthusiastic support the Glee Club could never have gained its enviable-position in musical circles To Rev. Theodore F. Farley, S.J., the Moderator, the club owes an especial debr of gratitude and thanks. Due to his splendid work in contacting for concerts and his uncomplaining supervision, he has made possible a most enjoyable year. 228 fordham To die class of '34, die club can only re-echo the words of our Marching Song: The undying pledge of memory And the brotherhood we vow. They have sung their last note as active members of the club under the banners of Fordham. They pass on into the swelling ranks of loyal alumni. But wc trust that each year they will return and join us again at Town Hall to pledge their loyalty to their Alma Mater by raising their voices in the college songs. They have left behind them a tradition. It is for those who follow to carry the club on to greater triumphs. THE FORDHAM-ERANCE Corps Je Reduction Basile G. D'Ouakil, M.A., LL.B. Edmund V.

Taafpe, S.J. Robert C. Faber, '34 James D. Alberse, 34 NealJ. Rorke, '34 John C. Barnwell, '34 Moderator President Vice-President Secretary Censor Because of the tempo of present-day life, novels like “Anthony Adverse,” are not the usual choice of readers. Rather, because of the dearth of time allowed, short srories arc rhe regular lor. It is to foster the writing of rhe short story in its varying techniques that the Quill Club was formed. During the past year it has enjoyed a remarkable success, partly due to the informality of the meetings, and partly to the newly-innovated custom of having two members at each meeting read their versions of a story with a common plot. Another reason for the enthusiastic participation in the club's work is that it is now open to all the students, instead of being restricted solely to upperclassmen. The usefulness of this organization is apparent; and its fruit has done much to enliven the pages of the Fordham Monthly. The excellence of the stories produced has been a source of gratification to students, faculty, and alumni. FORDHAM BUSINESS FORUM Edmund F. Bowen, C.P.A Thomas G. Lynch James Gallico Eugene Smith Charles Duebel Edward Estwanick . Moderator President Vice- President Co-Secretaries Treasurer Edward Farrfi.i. Chairman of Arrangements Committee James Costello Chairman of Publicity Committee In the fall of 1933 a small group of students, under the guidance of Edmund Bowen, Professor of Business Administration, gathered ro discuss the formation of a business club. This meeting resulted in the formation o! the Fordham Business Forum which at the present time has a membership of over two hundred students. The primary end of the Forum is to inform its members as to present day business activities, thereby helping them to better select their business or professional future. To foster this aim a prominenr business or professional man was engaged to address the members at the bi-weekly meetings. Among the noted speakers this year were the Hon. Grover A. Whalen; Ignatius Wilkinson, Dean of lord ham Law School; and Mr. Reiss, the well-known financier. Visitations to various types of business houses were arranged and with the assistance of guides the students were enabled to gain a practical knowledge of the business they intend to follow upon graduation. What is much more practical, some members volunteered to assist others who had fallen behind in their subjects because of absence. Thus this organization has made a splendid start toward establishing a bond of friendship among the Fordham men engaged in the business world, the professors and the student body. 232 fordham THE CHEMISTS’ CLUB Rev.

Treasurer Director In keeping with its purpose “to promote and foster a liking for chemistry, to awaken and stimulate in its members an interest for research work, and to give than opportunities for imparting to an audience information of a chemical nature, the Chcmisrs Club of Fordham University has presented, during rhe past year, a scries of lectures and demonstrations, both by members and by guest speakers, on various chemical topics. Lecture-demonstrations presented before the Chemists' Club by members have included the determination of molecular weights bv various methods, reaction-velocity constants, the industrial synthesis and technical uses of aromatic and aliphatic esters, the production of water-gas, and qualitative determinations by the use of spot-reagents. Guest s| cakers have lectured on petroleum refining, vitamin chemistry, the Periodic System, and other topics of chemical interest. The publication, under the auspices of the Chemists’ Club, of The Retort, a monthly undergraduate journal of chemistry, has been continued. The 1933-1934 volume contains eight issues, including notably papers on the value of chemistry in criminology, on the theory of complex salt formation, and on various speculative and practical aspects of chemistry and the related sciences. 233 M R O O N THE FRENCH CLUB Basile G. D'Ouakil, M.A., LL.B. Jules A. Beckary, '34 J. Deuel Sullivan, '33 Maurice Cox, ‘35 Vincent J. Torney, '35 Moderator President Vice- President Secretary Treasurer Because France consists of something more than the gay ooh, la-la! , La Vic Parisienne, and Les Folics” of popular conception, the French Club has its existence. Its scope includes interest in European culture and language, and for this purpose men and women, learned in French tradition, have accepted the club's invitation to speak on topics of both transient and enduring value. Their enthusiastic reception bespeaks rhe club's caliber. Besides the lord bam-Trance, the French club has for its official voice L Rayon, an annual published and edited solely bv the undergraduates. The treatise this year is an appreciation of the work done by the Jesuits in literature, art, and science. The club is not all work and no play however, not even during its most inflammatory meetings. In addition to the monthly repasts, the banquets on board French liners would have been a joy to any newspaper man, in quality and quantity both. C'csr la vie! THE GERMAN CLUB Aldert F.

Secretary It was with amazement that we saw the case with which the Fordbantcr Deutscber Kulterverem increased its enrollment since its inception three years ago. We knew that, as a modern language club, it aimed at the perfection of the German tongue in conversational use, and also the instilling in its members of the culture and the glory that is the Yaterland.” Prominent people were invited to address the meetings; and did so with alacrity. The members spoke fluent German and sang German songs (old and new). But surely this was not enough. And then eureka. We learned that the club's motivating spirit was one of good fellowship; it sought to foster a happy feeling of comradeship and true congeniality. For this purpose banquets were born. And how the boys did love to go to town. Hey—hey!—and a merry prosit to you. Rev. Demetrius B. Zema, S J Thomas McHugh, A.B., LL.B. Pasquale L. Palomba, ’34 Carmine Paui.antonio, ’34 Eugene J. Audi, ’36 Honorary President Moderator President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer II Ctrcolo di Cultura ItaHana was founded in December 1929 to bring together [hose students of the college who were interested in Italian culture. The club’s position is a unique one inasmuch as ir is rhe only modern language club whose language is not offered as a course at I’ordham. Its regular meetings arc devoted to discussions on topics pertaining to Italy and Italian culture, some of which are delivered bv guest speakers. The achievements ot the club have competently advanced its aim to familiarize the members with rhe numerous Italian authors and their works, and much help has been given them in attaining fluency in the conversational use of the language The meetings are conducted in Italian as far as possible; and through the efforts of the officers, brochures dealing with various phases of Italian history, life, arr and literature were distributed to the members.

Randolph, 35 Secretary Basil H. Candon, ’35 Treasurer John E. Kouba, ‘34 Librarian Composed of undergraduates taking Biology, the Mendel Club seeks to lurcher by lectures and demonstrations a knowledge of this science. The reading of papers on biological problems and a consequent discussion of the points covered afford much valuable information; while practical demonstrations give the members an insight into matter not covered in the classroom. Motion pictures, obtained through rhe courtesy of the New York Zoological Society, further still more the interest on topics of importance. Cabmutb, the club's monthly publication, discusses intelligently questions pertaining to this science An added feature this year was the interview, in which men prominent in this held offered their views on the value and interest of various biological data. 237 M A R O O N 4 THE R. O. T. C. OFFICERS’ CLUB Join the Nav y and see the world is rather good propaganda; bur if you must have your A.B., then join the ROT. C. and your travel will be equally extensive. In the summer of 1933 the Fordham officers (members of the advanced course of the Reserve Officers Training Corp unit) were sent by the U. S. War Department to Pine Camp at Great Bend, New York, for artillery practice. There, in competition with students from the neighboring colleges, our soldiers spent one month, solving problems of range and deflection finding; at rifle practice; and in actual battery service. The climax of the encampment was a mock battle anil overnight camping expedition, in which our boysdid Fordham proud much to the credit and relief of Lt.Col. Kelly, Lt. Mcrkle.etal. The time was not spent wholly in tilings militaristic, unless vou count modern dances as such; and there were frequent jaunts to Carthage and Watertown, places that only the army could find. All in all, the boys had a good time and returned home tired but happy from their travels. THE SPANISH CLUB Basile G. D'Ouakil, M.A., LL.B. Joseph T. Quintavaixf., 34 Thomas A. Diskin, '34 James F.

Moderator President Vice-President Secretary Trea Hirer When, centuries ago, the Spaniards settled America, they gave to this continent a culture and an idealism that were unparalleled. But times and customs change 'usually for the worse); and modern” Spain is now a nonentity. Yet at Fordham, the glory that was Castile and Aragon is still alive, due to the efforts of the Spanish Club to foster an interest on the part of the students in the tongue and customs of our discoverers. In keeping with rhis aim rhe Club had, as gucsr speakers at irs meetings during the past year, Dr. Frcdcrico dc Onis, head of the Spanish Institute in the United States, and Mr. Roberto Escobar, Acting Consul-General of Colombia. Under the sponsorship of the Club, too, the fourth volume of the Fraternidad Hispana has appeared. This year the rheme commemorated the four hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Jesuits and the book was dedicated to His Grace, James T. G. Hayes, S.J., Bishop of Cagayan in the Philippine Islands. Like its predecessors it was of high literary value and has been placed on permanent exhibition in the Pan-American Union Building in Washington, D. C. THE BROOKLYN-LONG ISLAND CLUB Rev. CharlesJ. Deane, S.J. John G. Keenan, 34 Moderator Pres: Joit Vincent Callahan, 34 Vice-President John E. McLoughlin, '35 Secretary James P. Maher, 34 Treasurer When an organization frankly admits its own defects, there's nothing vc can say. Rather then than defeat its purpose in making such an admission, wc shall print us report exactly as we received it. The Brooklyn-Long Island Club is primarily and essentially a social organization. Ir is also a haven for most of Ford ham’s budding politicians. Nevertheless, despite this minor handicap, the club's dances are recognized as the finest of all under the dominion of the relentless Ram and they usually pur the snow-cap ro the peak of the social season. The Winter Dance, held at the Hotel St George on January 26th, under the able leadership of the Chairman, Cornelius J. McCloskcy, '34 was a huge success. At present, the club is planning a Spring dance ro be held in Brooklyn sometime during the month of May, which dance is being managed by the officers. The club meets every Friday at noon and this year us enrollment is the largest in the history of the organization. Many noted athletes are members of the club which helps ro explain the fine record ir maintains in indoor baseball competition. 240 F O R D H A M THE CONNECTICUT CLUB Rhv. Charles J. Deane, S.J.

Founded in 1924 bv Tom'' Rcillv, then an undergraduate and now our registrar, it has continued toward greater success each year. As usual, two social functions were held this year. During Christmas vacation, the Winter Dance, under the chairmanship of Frank Russo, ‘34, was held in Bridgeport; and during the Easter Week, the Connccticuters, this time under the guidance of Russ Hurley, 36, capered and gamboled merrily through New Haven. Needless to add, both affairs were successful—in more ways than one For which, in true Connccticui-stylc, the members thank you. 241 M A R O O N THE MASSACHUSETTS CLUB Rev. Chari.es J.

Secretary Frank McDermott, '34 ... . . treasurer Ir is only fitting that in Massachusetts, the scare where we were promised a chicken in every pot and two cars, the end of the depression should have been first manifested. As a result the Massachusetts Club, true to the tradition ( First and Foremost! ) that New England schoolmarms invented before the revolution, has finished a most successful season. This may be attributed, too, to the increase in membership. Frequent meetings were held throughout the year (thanks to the determination and athletic prowess of the President, Vice-President, and Treasurer) and a feeling of good will and fellowship was thus set up among those hailing from the Bay State. The big social of the year was the Christmas Dance at Boston’s Hotel Bradford. Much merriment prevailed; and so the club feels confident this augers well for its continued success. 242 F O R D H A M THE NEW JERSEY CLUB Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J. Richard H. Appert, '34 W.

Coyle, '36 Ire usurer The New Jersey Club, true ro the purpose of its inception, has successfully promoted a spirit of friendliness and good feeling among those of Fordham's sons who are bound by the common tie of residence in the State just west of the Hudson. It has done trs parr ro make Fordham berrer known ro New Jersey, and New Jersey berrer known to Ford ham. The highlight of the club's activities for the year was the Winter Dance held at the Hotel Douglas in Newark on the evening of December 8. With soothing, rhythmic strains emanating from the instruments of Keith Alban and the Pennsylvanians (imagine that—New Jersey!) the hours passed only too quickly, high tribute indeed to the efforts of rhe Dance Commirrcc whose efficient work was performed under the able chairmanship of John J McGuirk, Jr, of the graduating class. 243 MAROON JL i i.

We admit we did want a brief report but . Well, I guess our concepts were not the same. And then we heaved (and whar a heave) a sigh of gratitude. There were no lengthy derails of most successful, beautiful and tasteful decorations, and another beautiful and pleasant memory to wade through. And (oh! so gratifying!) no bidding of fond farewells to the members of the Class of 1934.” Just imagine here were iconoclasts breaking down the traditions (maddening) of all thesobbv, shoddy, plobby formula of the yearbook style. All of which, no doubt, accounts for the perennial success of the Pennsylvania Club. 244 F O R I) H A M THE UP-STATE CLUB Rev. Charles ) Deane, S.J. Thomas J. Cooley, '35 John F. Kennedy, '35 Henry C. Canton, '36 Joseph E. McTague, '35 Moderator President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Since its inception at Ford ham some live years ago, the Up-Statc Club has grown steadily. This organization, fostered by a dozen pioneers, now has a membership of forty-five, and occupies a position of prominence among the state clubs, as befits a member of the Empire State. The purpose of the club, as expressed by its founders, is to glorify the name of Fordham and to increase her prestige. The club has faithfully followed these ideals. Each year at least one social event is held in tnc capital district. This practice is held to foster a friendship among the Fordham students from up-state New York. This year a supper dance was held in the De Witt Clinton Hotel in Albany. The chairman was John F. Kennedy, '35, and Tom Barry, '34 was assistant chairman. Ir was a most delightful affair, for which the club thanks the committee most heartily. THE VERMONT CLUB Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J. Moderator Thomas Candon, ‘34 President William Shouldice, Jr., '36 .... Vice-President Douglas McKay, '36 ..... Secretary Basil Candon, ‘35 Treasurer In the fall of 1932 a small group of students from Vermont, four to be exact, happened to be reviewing happy memories of the preceding summer. In this talk plans were suggested for establishing a club representative of their native state. With Father Deane's assistance, a constitution was drawn up and the students from Vermont were bound into a society which would strive to formulate a lasting bond between Fordham and the Green Mountain Stare. Although greatly hampered by the scarcity of eligible members, the club persisted throughout the following year and entered its second year with an increased membership. To date no social functions have been attempted but through the future activities of this organization it is hoped that contact will lx- maintained between the present members and those who are yet to come.

Ford ham Albright o Muhlenberg o The challenging roar of the Albright Lions issued in the 1933 football season for Fordham and the Rams employing a new system of attack and defense, rewarded a crowd of 12,(XX) bv pounding the scrappy Pennsylvania outfit inro submission by a 52-0 count. The Maroon responded in an encouraging fashion to this first test and by dint of sheer manpower, interspersed with dashes of brilliant blocking and individual play, turned back the Crimson Typhoon from Reading. Up front, Johnny Dell Isola turned in a finished performance for sixty minutes, while in the backficld the fleet and elusive Ed Danowski dominated the play. Rose Hill gridiron warriors accounted for their second victory of the season by smashing their way to a convincing 57-0 win over a doughty Muhlenberg eleven. The visitors were a determined group, but with their limited supply of substitutes they were unable to cope with the manpower amassed by Coach Crowley, who injected virtually his entire squad into rhe contest With varsity jobs hanging in rhe balance the men in Maroon spared no efforts and literally buried the Crimson and White under an avalanche of touchdowns, to the delectation of some 8,000 spectators. Confining themselves entirely to straight football, the Rams, with Danowski, McDermott and Doherty leading the attack, compiled a total of nine touchdowns while limiting rhe opposition ro one first down. This last fact attests to the stalwart defense of the Ram forward wall which with Uzdavinis, Wolfendale and Dell Isola bearing the brunt of the burden, confined the losers to a meager nine yards from scrimmage. Ford hum 2.0 West Virginia o Fordham’$ Juggernaut caught a Tartar in rhc persons ot' an unheralded quarterback, named lick Allen and ten other West Virginians ar rhc Polo Grounds, hut by virtue of a powerful running attack and a successful aerial game managed to carve our irs third consecutive victory of the season, 20-0. Urged on bv the greater part of a crowd of 25,000, Captain Danowski and his mates met with unexpected opposition from the vastly underrated Mountaineer eleven, and the result was a cleanly-fought, spirited battle that kept interest at fever pitch from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. With its outstanding backs unable to pierce the stout defense offered by the visitors, Fordham again proved rhar it had one of rhc best aerial games in the F.asr bv completing five out of seven passes, one of which—McDermott to Danowski—resulted directly ill the first Ram touchdown. Again, a 5-yard toss, McDermott to Maniaci, paved the way for Big Ed’s second score. Throughout the second half, Fordham was forced constantly on the defensive by the slashing onslaught of the visitors. With its fast stepping quarter, Allen, doing yeoman work, the losers worked their way to the Maroon's 5-yard strip. But here the Fordham line rose nobly to the crisis and with the shadows of their own goal-posts striping their jerseys, repulsed every efforr of rhc Southerners ro score. The entire backficld functioned with a wholesome efficiency in this first major test of the season’s campaign, and lengthy individual runs by Danowski and Maniaci featured the plav. The work of the line was nor a whit inferior. Two sterling wing-men, hitherto Crowley’s chief concern, were unearthed in Les Borden and Joe Bonitski; the slashing play of Walt Uzdavinis and Bill Tatro at tackle and guard respectively, and the rip-rendering tackling of Johnny Dell Isola at center also predominated. F O R D H A 254 M Fordham Boston College 6 Fortune smiled benignly on the fair-haired Ed Danovvski and his teammates when Boston College came to town; and basking in the refulgence of rh.it fickle dame's smile the Maroon proceeded ro run roughshod over the visitors from Massachusetts to mass the highest total made to date in the traditional series between these two Jesuit institutions. The scene of this carnage was the Polo Grounds and some 25,000 people stayed until dusk threatened to envelop the field to watch Fordham add ro its new found laurels and erase in a convincing manner the stigma of last year’s defeat. Displaying a continuance of the same powerful offense that has been manifested ever since the introduction of the Notre Dame system, the Rams shattered an existing 6-6 ric in rhe third period and then proceeded ro bear a steady and telling rarroo against the already shorn Eagle, to score 19 points in the last quarter. Time, however, had rhe bucking Rams by the horns and spoiled the great last minute work of Steve Sarota, a swivel-hipped substitute fullback, who besides slithering his way through the Boston defense in a particularly effective fashion, also broke up numberless B.C. plays by his stellar defensive work. Although the final score returned Fordham the victory by a comfortable margin, the Bay Staters provided stubborn opposition throughout and yielded to the final count only after a bitter struggle. Their running attack availing them little against the impregnable bulwark the Fordham line presented, the Eagles reverted to the aerial game and tallied their lone touchdown bv this method. The Maroon lammed back with a vengeance, by throttling every subsequent Boston effort to score and adding four touchdowns on their own account. Danowski (with two of these six-pointers), Maniaci, Curran, and Pavlicovic led the Rams on the arrack; while equal commendation must be cited to Joe Bonitski, Ed Fitzgerald, Ralph Wolfendale, and Johnny Dell Isola for their swell defensive work. 255 M A R O O N Ford ham i Alabama o Bolstered bv the lusty cheers of -10,000 partisan spectators, the Fordham Rams successfully met and stemmed the Crimson Tide of Alabama in one of the most thrilling and hard fought games ever witnessed on the Polo Grounds turf, but only by the narrowest of margins, 2-0. Led bv the fiery Torn Hupke at guard and the versatile Millard Howell in the back-field, the Southern champions were a strong pre-game lav oritc to shatter the Maroon's four game winning screak; they were frustrated in this attempt, however, by the burly form of Amerino Sarno, Sophomore tackle, who crashed through early in the first quarter to block an enemy punt and make possible his team's lone score. The vicious line play of both teams made it evident from the outset that the game would be won or lost up front and subsequent events vindicated this assumption. Rip-rending but withal clean tackling, was the order of the day, and as a result frequent fumbles, nullifying the scoring efforts of both elevens, marked the contest. Fordham, it must be admitted, showed to greater advantage in offensive play than did the visitors, but invariably when a Ram touchdown seemed imminent the Southerners threw up a stonewall defense that defied every effort to pierce it. An intercepted pass by Hughes of Alabama on his own 4-yard line provided the setting for the winning margin. Attempting to punt out of danger from the safety zone, I lowcll was engulfed in a wave of Maroon icrscys with Sarno doing the actual blocking. The entire Fordham team turned in a splendid exhibition, with Les Borden, Frank McDermott and Capt. Danowski particularly outstanding. 256 F O R D H A M Ford ham 6 St. Mary’s 15 Early November witnessed an inspired Sc. Mary’s eleven reaching the zenith of its performance in snapping the winning streak- of an equally great Fordham team. The score was 13-6, but mere numbers arc insufficient to describe this battle of gridiron Titans. There was never a liner day for the sport; warm, yet brisk, blue sky and sun, and on the field twenty-two youthful giants flinging their bodies recklessly through the air, spending furiously their strength and energy; while Irom the throats of 6D,OOd frenzied spectators poured great cataracts of cheers that came sluicing down the mountains of the srands onto the green plain below and washed in white froth of sound over Red shirt and Blue. The game was worthy of rhe crowd that ir drew. It was rhythmic and smooth football, replete with every thrill that the gridiron sport offers. Who can ever forget that Titanic goal-line stand of the Coast visitors? That was something to see and hear. Two yards to go and four tries to carry that tiny strip. St. Mary’s threw up a wall of men, rampart of Blue jerseys, bastions of bone and muscle, and the curling combers of sound shattered against it, and the battering Rams ol Ford ham—Danowski and Sarausky splintered against it. Noise and Fordham hopes vanished simultaneously. You will wait long to sec a greater stand. Although beaten, the Maroon lost but little in that game. If anything, the fact rhac the Rams were one of rhe great reams of the country was cemented more firmly than ever in the minds of rhe press and public. Only a great team could have comeback like Rams did after being swept off their feet by a whirlwind offensive in the first quarter, halted in their tracks on the goal-line in the third and buffeted by the fares in rhe same period as rhe Gaels scored their second touchdown on a fumble. Bur Fordham was a great ream chat day, and behind the momentum supplied by their leader, Danowski, they fought and they scored with but four minutes to go. Nor was Capr. Ed alone in the glory of a losing cause. There was Lcs Borden, who tossed aside blocker after blocker to turn back Moragan end sweeps and off-tackle smashes. There was Walt Uzdavinis, Johnny Dell Isola, Bill Tacro, and Paul Howell, the entire Fordham line which more than held its own against the ponderous Gael forwards. M A O O N ; Sr; 5 Ford ham 10 New York University 11 A fighting Fordham captain with a heart as big as his giant form took his third and last turn against New York University before 30,000 fans in the Yankee Stadium, winning for himself the recognition of being the greatest running back ever to don the Maroon. Blonde Eddie Danowski was the boy. Outplayed for three-quarters of the game by an inspired Violet eleven, the powerful Maroon team, with Ed acting as the spearhead of the attack, staged a dramatic last period rally that netted two touchdowns in the final !i c minutes ol play to turn apparent defeat into a brilliant 20-12 victory. Fordham entered the contest a heavy favorite to conquer just as they pleased and when early in the initial period. Bill Tatro, alert Ram guard, snatched up a teammate s fumble to scamper forty yards for a touchdown, Fordham partisans sat back with knowing and gleeful countenances. But they underestimated the fighting furv of the Hall of Rimers, for in the next forty-five minutes the Maroon found its every threatening gesture repulsed by the sturdy Violet defense. While throttling the Rams’ scoring activities so completely, the Cannmen opened up with a bewildering aerial barrage of their own that netted two quick touchdowns and threw consternation into the Fordham ranks. But this advantage was short lived. With Danowski and Maniaci supplying the impetus, the vaunted Ram attack started to roll with devastating effect and stopped only when Maniaci went over for the equalizer. Danowski added the point that was sufficient to insure victory; but Johnny Dell Isola, who turned in a brilliant performance all afternoon from his center post, added to his ream's total by intercepting a Violet pass and racing 35 yards for the only touchdown of his varsity career. The sensational play of Danowski focused the spotlight of attention on the Ram backficld, but the Fordham leader received admirable support up front. Les Borden, a veritable Mercury at end, Dell Isola, a tower of strength from his roving position behind the line, and Bill Tatro all thrilled the crowd with the zest and sparkle of their play. 238 o R D H M o Ford ham 6 Oregon Stare 9 Engineering in the process two of the most spectacular plays witnessed by Fordham adherents during the '33 campaign, a strong Oregon State eleven left their home regions long enough to write an unhappy finis to Coach Crowley’s lirsr season wirh the Maroon. Norman (“Red ) Franklin more than substantiated all the advance notices of his prowess as a triple-threat back by plaguing the Ram's defense incessantly wirh an elusive running style and setting the home team back on their haunches more than once with towering punts. But even these performances were overshadowed by a prodigious 43-yard place-kick by “Tar Schwammcl, late in the second jx-riod, which clinched the contest for the West coast squad, 9-6. The Maroon has engaged in some srirring and pulse-throbbing games in the past four years, but we would hesitate to single our any that approached this final contest for sheer thrills and flashes of true foorhall acumen. Both elevens were brilliantly manned and geared lor dynamic action, and the result was a game as colorful as any story-book version. Spectators (50,000 of them) were scarcely seated when Franklin struck a blow from which the Rains never fully recovered. Taking the opening kickoff deep in his own territory the fleet Beaver star raced 96 yards behind perfect blocking to cross the Fordham line unmolested. Laboring under a six-point handicap and facing one of the best defensive elevens of the country, the Rams nevertheless went diligently about remedying the situation. Then efforts bore fruit late in the second quarter when Danowski tied the count after he and Jim Cowhig alternated in a scries of undeniable line thrusts that advanced the ball to a scoring position. But Schwam-mell immediately added his field-goal and, though they strove mightily, the men in Maroon were unable to overcome this extra advantage Appropriately enough, major honors in this last game of their varsity careers must be distributed equally between the Senior members of line and backficld, so let us collccrivcly heap the praise that is due them on the departing members of the Maroon line, and on the backs as well; especially Danowski and amazing Jim Cowhig who closed his term of varsity service in a blaze of glory. 259 M A R O O N BASEBALL Scarce had the chill North winds ceased their roaring, when the mentor of Ford-ham's baseball fortunes, Jack Coffey, called for candidates for his team. Holding his opening workouts in the gym, Jack faced the task of finding players co fill places left open by the graduation of Tobin, Fisher, Coyle, and the other Senior members of '32's Eastern Championship ream. Vet before many outdoor workouts he had his ream—a team, potentially as strong as his previous one, bur nor as blessed with rhe “breaks.” Captained by Joe Zapustus, hard-hitting center gardener, this ream checked in at the end of the season with eleven victories and three defeats. Two of these defeats were received from the bats of Columbia, another from the strong nine of Duke. The Columbia scores were 6-5, 8-3; the Duke, 3-0. A pre-season exhibition game was also lost to the New York Giants, rhe score being 7-0. The victories with close scores included rwo over N V U.; rhe others at rhe expense of Lafayette, Yillanova, C. C N. Y , Boston College. The strength of the team's bats was seen in the two figure wins over Army, 21-2, Princeton, 15-5; Rutgers, 17-6; Vale, 11-0; and Colgate, 12-5- The average runs scored during the last five games were 14 per game. Flanking Zapustus on rhe left was Jerry Pepper, a great little defensive fielder and a hard hitter in the tight spots; on Zappy's right was the Sophomore slugger Tony Sarausky, a competent fielder, whose only fault was inexperience in rhe face of varsity 260 ford ham n pitching. The corners of the diamond were filled by Tom Powers at first, George Sherry ar second, and Howy Lashua at third—a Soph infield with the fiery, flashy Junior, Frank McDermott, in the short field. The main punch of the team was centered in Frank, Howy Lash, and Jerry—three sparks always fighting hard and hitting equally hard. In fact, Frank was the most consistent sticker on the team and took high in the batting average. Behind the plate one saw the mighty mite of Fordham, the one and only Freddy 'The Great) Harlow, and the lean, long Freddy Sager. The difference between these two was so slight that Coach Coffey was forced to use them on alternate days, until the end of the season when the Harlow eye became set on the little white pill, which fact led to the Great One's catching the last six games for the Ram. Topping the pitching staff was the left-handed Estwanick, who turned in six wins our of eight tries; a Sophomore, he had everything a coach could want speed, curves, and the slowest back-breaking drop one could hope to see around this section. Auer, a Junior, after leading the East in his second year, pitched a kink into his arm against the Giants, which finally forced him to quit in midseason wirh one win and rwo losses. The other pitchers, who saw action were Giacondino, Loughran, and Keenan. In spite of Auer's tough luck the pitching staff did yeoman's work and was not a little responsible for Fordham s place in the top-flight of Eastern Intercollegiate baseball. 261 M A R O O N As said before in spice of the breaks, inexperience, and a severe batting slump in midscason the Rams enjoyed another successful year under the excellent tutorship of Coach Jack Coffey. With the loss of only three men Through graduation Zapustus, Giacondino, and Loughran—the future is nor so dark for the 1934 model of Rose Hill timbcr-vvicldcrs. Jack Colley will start 1934 with a veteran team, backed by a flock of sluggers from a strong Freshman team. Regarding this 1933 Frosh team we have this to say—slugging was their forte. Coach Vin Clancy though not blessed with strong pitchers, had a successful season. His first effort, as a coach at his Alma Mater, saw his team turning in five victories in seven starts. The strong teams of Columbia Frosh and Textile High set down his club rather roughly at 6-5, and 5-0. However, on the other side of rhe ledger, Princeton went down to the tune of the hickory sticks, 15-4, also N. Y. U. at 18-7, C. C. N. Y. at 10-3, George Washington High at 15-0; and Dickinson High at 12-6. Leading rhe sluggers responsible for these victories was Dc Phillips, a catcher, closely followed by Lepore, Coyle, Mooney and Ladroga. The pitching staff consisted of Morris, Bristow, and Looney. Thus Coach Coffey has a happy outlook for next spring veteran and Soph sluggers plus a fine pitching staff. His task seems easy, but the schedule is essentially Fordham —no breathers. So plenty of luck and base hits, Jack! VV'c‘11 be rootin’ for you. 262 ford ham VARSITY BASKETBALL Anochcr chapter in arhletics was indelibly inscribed on the pages of Fordham history by Ed Kelleher's court charges, when those worthies captured nine victories (although dipping their colors Jive times) in the course of the past basket ball season At firsr glance it is far from an impressive record, but when given deeper consideration, it really isn't too bad. The Rams bowed to Syracuse, City College, Manhattan, and twice to a champion N. Y. U. five. With the lone exception of Manhattan, their conquerors represented the cream of the Eastern basketball crop and the Maroon lost but little prestige in these games. The varsity found little difficulty in disposing of the Alumni, Cooper Union, St. Peter's and Columbia in short order; but it wasn't until Yale fell a 35-29 victim that the Maroon baskctccrs showed their true worth. The Elis provided stubborn opposition from start to finish; and it is due only to the exceptionally fine team play that the Rams snatched victory instead of defeat. With a scant five minutes to play, the count stood at 28-all, but Yale wilted under the pace and Fordham conquered, mainly through the efforts of Brennan and DcPhillips. Columbia, bolstered by the presence of Capt. McDowell and Tomb, returned for a second engagement and drew a capacity crowd of 4,000. A speedy arrack and alert defense proved too much for the visitors and the Lions were tamed once more, 37-21. Fordham was toppled from the ranks of the undefeated by the Eastern champions, N. Y. U.; the Violets left no question as to their superiority by meting out a 40-28 setback. Led by Anderson and Rubinstein the victors staged a second-half offensive that buried the Maroon under an avalanche of two pointers. The Rams recovered sufficiently from this attack to outpoint the N. Y. A. C., 24-19; and also was able to send Colgate back to Chenango Valley with a 35-21 defeat. But again the Ranimen stumbled; this time at the hands of a strong Syracuse club, 29-24. This latter defeat apparently discouraged the Maroon entirely, for when they faced a mediocre Man- 263 hactan five in their ncxr srarr rhc Rams hail no spirit in their play anti were unable to fathom the Green's slow, waiting attack. Both teams dallied along, unril with barely thirty seconds to go, the visitors snapped an existing tic to register a startling 16-14 upset. A smooth working City College team behind the best efforts of Pete Bcrcnson and Moe Goldman was entirely too much for the Kellehermen; and though a revamped lineup added new zest to Fordham's play, vet rhc Rams yielded, 35-21. The following contest with Canisius was nothing short of a field-night for Tony DcPhillips; Ford-ham won 42-18 and DcPhillips amassed 23 of these points in an amazing display of court finesse and accuracy. The Maroon terminated its season with a not totalh unexpected defeat by N. V. I’. In a repetition of the earlier meeting between these rivals, Fordham offered stubborn resistance in a dogged defense for the first half, only to wilt before the Cannmen's closing drive. Despite the work of Williams, Brennan, DcPhillips and Frirzschc, the Violets won 45-27 If it produced nothing more, the '33- 34 campaign at least uncovered a trio of amazingly versatile Sophomores who promise to advance Fordham’s cause on the court mightily within the next two years. Tony DcPhillips, Don Brennan and Bob Reinacher are the three in question; in addition to performing brilliantly throughout rhc short schedule, they also led their mates in scoring in the order named. Danny Williams enjoyed one of his best years at rhc pivot post and his masterly play against N V. I’ in rhc final game of his varsity career won’t soon be forgorren Bill Fleming, who unfortunately saw only part time service at forward, nevertheless made his presence kcenl felt on more than one occasion. Valuable assistance was lent these regulars by the veterans, Capr Jerry Pepper, Tom Lynch, Howie Lashua, Jim Fogarty, and Jim Kane; and by rhose promising newcomers: Fritzsche, Young, and O'Brien. 264 F O R D HAM t I t i 2 f 1 t ft $ 3 mk ■ Afj 1 s ,i § y x f - i A f A VfvM TRACK Although Coach Weber expected nothing more than a fair season, Fordham's track representatives achieved more than mere passing recognition through the medium of a fast-stepping relay team and the individual performances of Jannell and Calijone. The relay squad, featuring Captain Johnny Mulvihill, Charlie Deubel, Jim Gallico, and including either Lcs Borden, Jim Cowhig, or Jerry Calijone as its fourth member, was a consranr threat in every meet. In fact, two seconds off their time in more than one instance would have found them Eastern champions. Jerry Calijone and Art Jannell exceeded even die highest hopes ol the portly Jake. The former, besides performing creditably with his relay mates, also managed to annex the 1000 meter event in both the K. of C., and the Columbus Council games. Jannell, a lightning sprinter, turned in several sterling efforts, notably in the Seton Hall meet when he garnered one First and two Seconds over such top-llight dash men as Emmett Toppino, Ed. Siegel, and Bill Bruder In this same meet, the rwo-milc relay ream finished second ro Manhattan, with Johnny Mulvihill turning in a 1:58 half-mile anchor leg. The Rams reached the peak ol their |xrforiiiance in the National Championships, when rhe mile four set a new record for Ford ham relay teams by traversing the 1600 meters in the blazing time of 5:22 flat, only to be nosed out in a blanket finish by unbeaten Indiana and Holy Cross. In the Metropolitan A. A. U. games at a later date, Fordham placed sixth. Charlie Deubel forced rhe champion Milt Sandler to the record-shattering time of 1:24 4, to be runner-up in rhe 600 meters. The remainder of rhe Maroon’s points were secured through the efforts ol Mulvihill and Cali|onc, who placed second and third respectively in the 1000 meter run. 265 M R C) C) N TENNIS Although the tennis team did not enjoy the distinction of being unbeaten, it upheld the best traditions of a Fordham sport which has given Vincent Richards and other outstanding performers to tennis. There was no match in which Fordham’s rivals on the court did not have to play their best brand of tennis. The Fordham team won the majority of its marches and only bowed by the closest of margins. The captain of the Rams, Ramey Donovan, lost only one march during the season and that to the redoubtable Hartmann of Columbia. This defeat was subsequently redeemed by Donovan and Ehrhardt defeating the ace Columbia team, and by a singles victory which Donovan gained over Hartmann some weeks later. With Magenheimer, Cahalan, Waterman, Ehrhardt, and Kennedy sharing the singles burden with Donovan, the Ram traveled extensively in intercollegiate tennis circles. The New York State Intercollegiate Singles Championship was added ro rhe victories of rhe Ram by its captain, and in his capacity of coach, with the able assistance of Kennedy, the manager, Ramey had the satisfaction of seeing several promising prospects develop into timber for the next year's varsity team. 266 FORD HAM SWIMMING Handicapped by the dearth of material, the Maroon was forced to concede too much to its opponents in all her meets. The season was marked by the gallant efforts of Frank Leonard in the dive, an event in which he was completely our of his element, since he undertook it only that the team might be represented on the springboard. The highlight of the season was the magnificent improvement made by the Sophomore swimmers, who arc sure to bring glory to the team next season. Giescn placed in the Intercollegiates in the Back Stroke, and Drurv won his heat in the same event. Other memories of the season just passed arc the thrilling one-two ' finish of Giesen and Goebel in the KX) ' against Columbia, and the Fordham's great comeback in capturing the relay from a fast N. Y. U. quartette. The steady and untiring work of Dave Hughes, Captain McMahon, and Bill Kelchncr, the Senior members of the squad, was a true inspiration to the younger men. If the youngsters become as consistent at garnering points as this trio. Coach McDonough will shortly bring Fordham back to its rightful place at the top of the swimming heap. THE RIFLE TEAM With so much calk of war in the air, it is necessary to have men trained in the art of sharpshooting, if for no ocher reason than to scare the enemy. We think our rifle ream is pretty capable and can do a little bit better than the hero of the oft-told story who aimed at rhe enemy and shor his own man. Thanks to Bill Lambert, ’35, the captain, Pordham's team has had a rather successful season, winning a number of matches in competition with the crack teams of 212th Coast Artillery. Sergeant Smith, the coach, was especially pleased at rhe showing made bv the team in the Corps Area match, having placed second against such crack units as Cornell, C. C. N. V., and N. V. U. Much of the credit for the team's success is due to Lambert in particular, and his buddies, Walsh, Cox, and O Reilly, the manager. Among rhe Freshmen, Boyajian and Paglia give evidence of future great performances. WATER POLO The Fordham University water polo team closed its second year as a varsity sport on Rose Hill with hut two meets to its credit and both resulting in defeat for the inexperienced Maroon sextet. The first setback came from the hands of Columbia, rhe Eastern Intercollegiate champs who went through the season undefeated. The Lions sunk the Rams in the Morningsidc pool by a 32-S count. Fordham s down-fall was due chiefly to their inability to solve the tricky Columbia offense. Frank Leonard and George Mullen on the forward line with one touch goal apiece and Capt. Jim Power and Bill Kclchncr on rhe defense were outstanding for the Maroon. The West Side V. M. C. A. was the next opponent to face the Rams and this rime Fordham took the short end of a 25-5 score. An unfamiliar shallow end pool and the loss of the two veterans Jim Tumulty and Joe Ludwinowicz did not help the Maroon cause any. Charlie Ortner at defense played a line game as did Vin McMahon and Joe Strittcr who were appearing in the line-up for the lirst time.
