THE 1940 PURCOLD John ]. Long Executin ' Editor Robert B. Combs M anaging Editor Joseph B. Egelhof Business Manager Frank D. Gilloon Adi ' crUsing Manager THE YEARBOOK OF 1140 VOUCH ' }weu w4 On the threshold of the second century in the history of Loras College, we, the first class of the new era, the class of 1940, have stood for a moment gazing into the one hundred years that are past —the Century of Progress- before taking our first step into the one hundred years that lie ahead —The Century of Promise. The book we have made —the 1940 PURGOLD —we hope will remind you of this momentous occasion. The magnificent and heroic statue of our first chancellor, the saintly Loras, stands near the southeast corner of Keane Hall. It overlooks the city and country Loras loved so well, and recalls the blessing of the ven¬ erable prelate which is the safe¬ guard of Dubuque and the guar¬ antee of Loras College. ' • ' . ; ■ fiir KEANE HALL LORAS GYMNASIUM HENNESSY HALL SAINT JOSEPH CHAPEL SMYTH HALL SAINT FRANCIS HALL Hi t ' H hedicatfoh As the tower of St. Joseph ' s Chapel symbolizes the Century of Progress, and as the statue of Bishop Loras rep¬ resents the Century of Promise, so you, Father Martin, actively embody the spirit of the holy men who have made Loras College. The spirit of great Loras, of Mazzuchelli, and of all the bishops, archbishops, priests and laymen who built the Loras Col¬ lege we know and love, this spirit we see in you. More, we see in you the spirit which will make Loras College ever greater, ever better . . . The spirit which will make the coming one hundred years truly a Century of Pro¬ gress as well as a Century of Promise.

The Duhawks were defeated in two other ventures against strong non-conference competition. Eleven returning lettermen reported to Winter for the pre-season drills and the group of veterans was augmented by 35 other candidates seeking varsity berths. Gailen Thomas and Al Schramm, both for¬ mer Loras stars, were in charge of the linemen. With 21 lettermen available for dut next fall and with the more open type of play now fully installed by Coach Winter, Duhawk followers are expecting 1940 to be a big football year for Loras. The com¬ pletion of the new stadium is also being anxiously awaited by team supporters.

ROCKHURST 17; LORAS 6 Travelling to Kansas City, Missouri, on Sunday, September 24, the golden clad Duhawks dropped their season opener to a tough Rockhurst College eleven 17 to 6 in a non-conference encounter. A crowd of 5.000 turned out despite the heat to see the contest which was billed as a bene¬ fit performance for a Kansas City hospital The lone Duhawk tally was made by “Tiny Tim” Linehan, Loras quarterback, on a short line plunge in the opening period after the ball had been moved deep into Hawk territory on consistent gains by “Job- by” Severa and Linehan Berme Baltes’ try for the point was wide The Rockhurst attack was sparked by Jim McDonnell, a hard running sophomore back whose all-around playing kept the Du- buquers worried throughout the game. CORNELL 20; LORAS 0 A veteran Cornell College machine rolled over a lighter but fighting Loras grid ag¬ gregation in the second non-conference pa r fifty-four game of the season played under the lights at Municipal field, Friday, September 29. The 20-0 Purple and White victory was due chiefly to the elusiveness of Gene Torn- quist and the hard driving of Bill Watson, backfield stars of the team that went on to win the Mid-West college conference championship. The Mt. Vernon crew kept the Winter- men on the defensive all night. The only real Duhawk offensive gesture took place about two minutes before the first half ended. Off tackle smashes by Severa and a long pass. Cavanaugh to Driscoll moved the ball up to the Cornell 25 yard marker when the gun sounded. The kicking of Mulhall, the tackling of Cuter, and the line backing of Healey and Severa were outstanding features of this contest. LORAS 13; BUENA VISTA 0 In their first Iowa Conference game of the season, the Purple and Cold gridders eas¬ ily took a 13 to 0 victory from the Buena Vista Beavers on Saturday afternoon, Oc¬ tober 7, on Loras field By his plunging and tackling, co-captain Joe Severa turned in the best performance of his long grid career, although the actual scoring was done by freshmen Ed Corcoran and Bob Mulhall Koch l.udescher Mulhall Rolinger R.

Coach Clyde Drury ' s boys threatened late in the game when Duane Rohovit. freshman back, galloped 44 yards to the Loras 16 yard line but the drive was stopped as the Duhawks held till the gun sounded. LORAS 14; CENTRAL 7 Central College was handed a decisive 14 to 7 defeat by a well-geared Duhawl squad which was clicking at mid-season form on Saturday afternoon, October 14, on Loras field The locals made a fine showing as they scored Lj first downs tc five for the Dutchmen, with most of the game taking place deep in Dutch territory due to a strong Loras aerial attack Loras first scored on a nice nine yard smash by Bob Cavanaugh just before the half ended Baltes converted the placement Early in the fourth quarter, a long pass put the ball on the Central three yard stripe from where Linehan plunged over for the final score Baltes again made the point. Central scored late in the last period on a pass from Crufman to Hubrex. Ray, Dutch center, kicke d the extra point Linehan, Severa, and Cavanaugh were mainstays in the Duhawk backf.eld while Healey. Mulhall and John Corcoran stood out in line play • fif w v LORAS 14; SIMPSON 6 With their eyes on the Iowa Conference crown, the Duhawks trekked to Indianola where they overcame a stubborn tribe of Simpson Redmen. 14 to 6, in a hard fought game played in the mud on Friday after¬ noon. October 20. After being pushed all over the field in the first quarter, the Indianola crew shook the confident invaders by cashing in on a blocked punt midway in the sec¬ ond period. Weigard blocked Mulhall ' s kick on the Loras 22 yard line and on the next play Jessen, Simpson quarterback, tossed a pass to Berlin who caught it on the 10 yard marker and ran across Jessen s pass for the point was knocked down. Barney Crommes saved the day for the Purple and Cold color bearers by turning on the heat in the last quarter The stocky freshman ran wild against the Redmen, reg¬ istering both Loras tallies on end runs of 15 and four yards respectively Baltes and Johnnie Walsh kicked the extra points. Final score Loras 14, Simpson 6. Crommes and Severa were the outstand¬ ing ball toters for the Wmtermen, while the whole line turned in the best defensive game of the season by holding Coach Casey’s lads to but 34 yards from scrimmage UPPER IOWA 14; LORAS 13 Still undefeated in Iowa loop play and leading the league, a Loras eleven set out for Fayette on Saturday, October 28, to meet Upper Iowa in an all-important con¬ ference affair. The game, played on a beautiful Oc¬ tober day, was the most heart-breaking de¬ feat of the year for the Wintermen. Mak¬ ing 11 first downs to the Peacock’s one, {he Duhawks completely outplayed the home town boys but the “razzle-dazzle’ ' of wily Doc Dorman showed itself in the last half to the utter dismay of the visitors. Linehan scored on a short plunge in the first quarter and Severa on another plunge in the second period to account for the Loras scoring. Baltes made one of his two tries after the touchdowns. With their ground attack stopped cold by a fast charging Duhawk line, the Pea¬ cocks took to the air for their two markers, both scored by Cecil Spatcher. The first in the second quarter on a long 55 yard pass from Alderson and the second on a tricky lateral from Brady in the third per¬ iod Chamberlain made both of the im¬ portant points after touchdown for Upper Iowa. Cuter and Linehan were standouts for the Purple and Gold while the passing of Alderson and the quarterbacking of Bue ' l were notable for the Peacocks. I’ilXC fift -sci ( PARSONS 13; LORAS 3 Unleashing a powerful running attack in the second half, the fighting Parsons Wildcats overcame a three point Duhawk lead to beat the Wintermen 13 to 3, at Fairfield Saturday afternoon, November 4. After battling on even terms through¬ out the first half, the Duhawks put the ball on the Parsons 10 yard line with a strong ground attack. After three suc¬ cessful tries at the line, Baltes kicked a field goal to put Loras ahead. The Wildcat offensive came to life a few minutes lat er with a sustained 60 yard march that terminated when Hornell took a lateral from Tennant on the Loras 20 and ran over. Tennant’s try for the point was wide. After an 85 yard drive deep into Du¬ hawk territory, the Fairfielders scored again. With three minutes left to play, Miller took a reverse from Tennant and trotted 12 yards to score Tennant converted the placement. A Duhawk scoring threat in the fourth quarter was abruptly halted on the Par¬ sons six yard line when the Wildcats re¬ covered a Loras fumble on the second down. The offensive work of Co-captain Dris¬ coll and the defensive play of Cuter were very noticeable in the Duhawk stand. Ray Tennant turned in a brilliant performance for Parsons. LORAS 13; LUTHER 0 Before a large Homecoming crowd, the Duhawks. still smarting from their Parsons defeat, trounced the Luther Norsemen 13 to 0 m a conference game played on wind¬ swept Loras field, Friday, November 10. h .

Cuter broke through to block the punt and Paul Koch recovered for the Wintermen on the two yard line. Line¬ han dove over for the score on the first play. Baltes made it 7-0 with his edu¬ cated toe. Luther had two good chances to score in the second stanza, but a fighting Du- hawk line staved off the rallies The Norse recovered a Loras fumble on the Duhawk eight yard line, but the locals firmly held for four downs A few plays later, a field goal attempted by McDonald from the 20 yard stripe went wide of the uprights Midway in the last quarter, Linehan re¬ turned a punt to the Luther 10. After Severa and Grommes pushed the ball to the two yard line, Linehan went wide around right end for the tally. Baltes’ try for the point bounced off the goal post. Melson’s play at end and the passing of Carey were big threats for the Decorah aggregation. Healey, Cuter, Linehan, and Severa looked best for the Purple and Cold. ST. AMBROSE 7; LORAS 0 In the final game of the season, the Duhawks lost a close 7 to 0 battle to Coach Dukes Duford’s fighting St. Ambrose eleven at Davenport on Sunday afternoon, Novem¬ ber 19. This marked the last football game that the Bees played under the guidance w (ift Guter and Linchan named on All-Conference Team and elected Co-Captains for 1940-41. |nlm Doc” kammer Trainer of Duford because of the fact that he signed a contract to coach at St Louis University the following winter The Duhawks pushed the Davenport boys all over the field in the first period and it was too many fumbles rather than the Bees highly touted power that beat the Wintermen. A Loras fumble in the second quarter paved the way for the lone Ambrose touch¬ down. The Bees recovered on their own 27 and advanced the ball by a series of pa sses all the way to the Purple and Cold ten yard stripe. From here, Loomis dove over for the score. Lucier kicked the point. After the Bees went into the lead, the Duhawks came back to threaten twice in the eventful second quarter After O ' Leary had recovered a St Ambrose fumble on the Loras 72, the Dubuquers weren ' t stopped until Severa and Lmehan had advanced the ball to the local s four yard line where in four tries they couldn t push it over Later by virtue of a poor punt, the Lorasmen again had the ball on the Ambrosian’s 15 yard line but their scoring punch wasn ' t there and the Bees punted out of danger. Hoogerwerf and McConville played well foi the Dufordmen. while Severa, John Cor¬ coran, and 01 lie Ludescher starred for Loras, with the latter turning m one of the finest games of his varsity career. luigt ' si v Cavanaugh, J.

At the beginning of the year, Winter used the combination of Derouin and Sev¬ era at forwards, Bahning at center, and Voelker and Ernsdorff at guards. This starting quintet was broken up by the rapid development of a promising freshman crop wTose outstanding members, Johnny Corcor¬ an, Bud Keehan, and Bill Riebach, became first -stringers before the season was half finished. Other yearlings whose names fre¬ quented the Loras line-up were John Mc¬ Kay, Bob Cavanaugh, Bob Mulhall, and Oz- zie Drahos In the initial tilt of the schedule, the Du- hawks got off on the right foot by taking the measure of a strong St. Thomas of St. Paul. Minnesota team, 34 to 31. in a pre¬ dominately defensive game on the home floor. The Duhawks next placed St. Mary’s of Winona, Minnesota, on the Dubuque court but succumbed to the superior height of the visitors 27 to 19. In a guard named Vaickus and a center called Wager, the Redmen had two of the best players to ever hit the local gym and it was the skill of these boys that was responsible for the first Loras defeat. Lawrence College of Appleton. Wiscon¬ sin, came down to Dubuque to be our sec¬ ond victim 28 to 22, in a close fought non¬ conference game which saw the locals com¬ bine shooting with good guarding.

Everywhere upon our campus we see the fruits of their efforts. Within St. Francis Hall, their especial domain, we are fed. and it is the sisters who feed us Here also is the laundry, and this lowly and necessary service is also a part of their mission. In the nearby Smyth Hall we are cared for during illness, and again the sisters minister to our every want with especial solicitude. In Keane Hall, the entire housekeeping of our many rooms is supervised by th e sisters. In the Keane Hall chapel, and again in St. Joseph’s chapel, the House of Cod is made a Palace by their efforts. It seems to us, too, that their most important work is unseen and unsung. It is their great apostolate of prayer and good works for Loras College and their col¬ lege “boys.” Whether it be sickness, or studies, or athletic games the prayers of the good sisters are always for us And so to our “professors of the virtues” we offer this salutation, and that we may long remember them in our prayers we append the names and periods of service of the present community Sister Mary Genevieve . . . . . .54 years Sister Mary Carmella . ...8 years Sister Mary Amalia . ....41 years Sister Mary Clarona . . . .7 years Sister Mary Anselma . . . ....41 years Sister Mary Dolorine . . . . ..5 years Sister Mary Leonetta . . . . . . .24 years Sister Mary Patrick. ...3 years Sister Mary Sophie . . . . .22 years Sister Mary Francis Clare ...2 years Sister Mary Xavier . . . . . . . .22 years Sister Mary Myron . . . . . . 1 year Sister Mary Leon. ....18 years Sister Mary Avila . . . 1 year l tige ninety • „ , {„„—B.ihning, Bohr, Bray.

First, for the fine support given me by Father Martin, Father Breen, Father Stemm, Father Fitzgerald, Mr. Mc¬ Quillan and all other members of the faculty, I am very grateful. The invaluable assistance of my colleagues, especially my good right arm, Bob Combs, will never be fully realized although I offer them my sincere thanks for their many hours of effort. To Mr. DuPont, our photographer, and his assistant, Jean McAleece; to Ralph Martin of the Telegraph-Herald, and his foreman, Otis Skeie; to Mr. Yonkers and his staff, and to all who shared in the technical production, my sincere appreciation is given All students who contributed photographs, articles, and other material for the book are deserving of grate¬ ful thanks. Especially, and above all. those who gave us in¬ valuable assistance by their generous patronage and advertisements deserve the thanks of all of us With¬ out their support, the present volume would have been impossible I ask only that your appreciation be shown in concrete form, and this will be the reward for the labor of love which is the 1940 PURCOLD JOHN J.
