Maguire, S. J. President Xavier University Cincinnati T, Ohio fMye6 The year 1954 saw Xavier one step closer to the completion of its ten-step development program. Since 1851, when The Athenaeum accepted the challenge of educating Cincinnati's youth, Xavier has been a builder of men, maintaining a substantial position in the community. In realizing the great need for further development and improvement because of expected higher enrollments and a broader curriculum, Xavier continually looks to the future. Upon the ob- servance of the dedication of the new Logan Chemistry Building, ia major addition to Ohio's educational facilities, Xavier received a letter of congratulation from Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States. With the help of Almighty God, Xavier will continue to maintain its place in the community, will continue to build leaders of tomorrow, will continue to contribute to the build- ing of . .

LORD As he was about to board a bus en route to an assignemnt at the Little Sisters of the Poor on Iuly 15, 1954, the Rev. Murtha Boylan, S.I., was stricken fatally. He had spent thirty-two years at the University and was its oldest active professor. Father Boylan's students and friends admired him for his extra- ordinary kindness and humility as well as his learning in psychology and philosophy. At the observance of his silver anniversary at the University, a former student concluded the formal tribute to Father Boylan in these significant words: lt seems to me that if Saint Ignatius were to return tonight from his heavenly abode to this earth of ours, he might well find Father Boylan to be the Jesuit nearest to the ideals he had in mind when he founded the Society of Iesusf' May Father Boylan, exemplary Iesuit priest, enjoy eternally the reward of his sanctity. Millions of Americans knew the late Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ., as an author, educator, orator, raconteur, and zealous priest. Xaverians, however, were even more indebted to him. They had a more specific reason for grief when the news of his death reached Cincinnati. They remember Father Lord not only as a Iesuit who participated in University affairs many times but as the composer of the treasured University hymn, Xavier Chimes. Its words, sung on many occasions during every academic year, stress the significance of the chimes- a message of friends and peace. Father Lord's friends pray and believe that he has found lasting peace in the Creator he loved. I l in Pace Riav. Vicrolz C. S'l'ECHSCI'lUl.'l'E, SJ. REV. GREGORY DERSCHUG, SJ. Shortly after he had taught a class on March 5, 1955, the Rev. Victor C. Stechschulte, SJ., suffered a heart attack and died in the facultv residence. He had been a member of the Xavier staff since 1952. 'A Among scientists Father Stech was widely known for his work on deep focus earthquakes. His doctoral dissertation was described as classical as recently as November, 1954, by Dr. Perry Byerly, secretary of the Seismological Society of America. His associates at Xavier revered and loved Father 'fStech for his humanness-his shrewd but genial wit, his quiet fortitude in suffering a circulatory ailment for many years, and his ever correct and practical judgment in matters educational. May this noble priest, Father Stechschulte, know forever the joys of the blessed. Though the late Rev. Gregory Derschug, SJ., was a member of the faculty of Xavier's Milford College since he left the Evanston campus, the present generation of students did not know him. An older generation, however, remembers him as a gifted teacher and sincere priest. For many years his students at Xavier brought honor to their University in the annual Intercollegiate Latin contest conducted among schools in the Chicago and Missouri Provinces of the Society of Iesus. A remarkable tribute to Father Derschug came some years ago from a diocesan priest. If I ever have a serious personal problem or am in trouble, he said, I believe I'd turn to Father Derschug for help. He's my idea of a wise man. May Father Derschug now exult in the reward of his devotion to his students and his God. Page 9 4 , .

Within Xavier's walls decisions and judgments important for the enrichment of every student are made constantly.

Page 35 Seniwrs The class ring for 1955 stands as the symbol of achievement to the Xavier Seniors when they leave the campus for the last time. They have spent four years building a strong framework, a frame- work which must now withstand all outside forces. As Seniors they have reached a goal, but a new goal, even greater, now faces them, for as well equipped men they mustigo forth to become workers, leaders, teachers, and above all brothers in Christ to one another. May they never forget Xavier. May they never forget that they must always, with Christ as their model, contribute to the building' of . BETTER COMMUNITIES . . A FINER NATION . .

Retirospeeta Undeire assmen Amid the confusion and excitement of regis- tration on the Xavier University campus, the 1954-1955 academic year commenced. Beanie- clad freshmen with cheering upperc1assmen saw the Musketeer football team suffer its initial defeat at the hands of the Quantico Marines on Sunday, September 19. On the following day former students were plagued by newcomers with Where is Room 10? or How do 1 get to Elet Hall? as Xavier officially opened its first class of the new year at 8:50 A.M. Twenty-two names were added to Xavier's faculty roster. Mr. Irvin Beumer, former Dean of the Evening Division and a Xavier graduate, returned to the Evanston campus to assume the duties of busi- ness manager. Several welcome additions and improvements were ready for the opening day. A new faculty room, modernly equipped with the essentials for a coffee break, as well as an acoustically Page 62 treated speech room, were found on the second floor of Science Hall. All chemistry students went to class and lab in the recently completed Logan Building. September 22 saw the student body and faculty gather in the Fieldhouse for the tradi- tional Mass of the Holy Spirit. The Very Rev. lohn Benson, S.I., President of Saint Xavier High School, delivegid the sermon. An oil painting, The Miser, by Leon Lippert, and a Baldwin concert grand piano were gifts to the University of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Lippert and Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Ratterman, respectively. The beginning of the year brought renewed enthusiasm and vigor to campus clubs and organizations. The Rifle Club, the Clef Club, the Vets Club, and the Poland Philopedian De- bating Society inaugurated their '54-'55 pro- grams with membership drives. On Sunday, Twp 1-mu: I. Kroger, R. Kohl, H.

Military The Xavier Field Artillery unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps in 1954-1955 experienced one of its best years in both enrollment and scholastic programs. The staff under Lt. Col. Iesse H. Brown, professor of Military Science and Tactics, included Major Ben Parrott, Major Glenn Helmick, Capt. George Porter, and Lt. Iohn C. Allen. Early in the first semester cadets began their energetic program of leadership and drill. To Page 86 the new men this was a completely novel phase of university life as they learned military courtesy and movement first by squad, then by platoon, and finally by regimental drill. The military department introduced inter- battery firing competition to its program. Each interested student fired practice rounds on the range, and after completing these, fired for a mark. Top men from each battery competed for military honors. One of the extra-curricular activities for cadets was the Pershing Rifles, a precision drill team who excel at intercollegiate competition. In February their coach, Master Sergeant Iames E. Blach, bade farewell to Xavier after serving the military department since 1951, and headed for the sun and sand of Saudi, Arabia, on a special military mission. Another member of the Xavier cadre, Master Sergeant Iames W. Smith, who had also served on the staff since 1951, and was coach of the Rifle Team since that time, departed for Thai- land duty. Under his able leadership the Rifle Misses Dorothy Traegesser, Ianet Day, Shirley Vollman. Hon. Cadet Col. of 1954 Lois Hughes, Pat Hill, Lois Roll, and Shirley Schmitt. The civilians were candi- dates for Honorary Cadet Colonel for 1955. Club had shot its way to several victories over its competitors, chief of which were Notre Dame, the University of Cincinnati, Dayton, Miami of Florida, and Stanford. Most memorable function during the year was the sixteenth annual Military Ball. Arrange- ments were in the hands of members of the Xavier Order of Military Merit, Xavier's honor society for RCTC students. On Ianuary 14, students danced to the strains of Ralph Marterie and his Grchestra at the Topper Club. Co-ed Pat Hill, Honorary Cadet Colonel, was installed at this dance and presided over ROTC functions during the remainder of the year. On May 9 and l0, visiting inspectors from the Second Army looked over the entire corps at a regimental review. As the year came to a close seniors looked forward to the day when they would be commissioned as Second Lieutenants, and juniors, after receiving shots and final in- slr No outside drill today.

Student Council One of the busiest groups on campus during '54-'55 was the Student Council, for Council representatives of the various campus organiza- tions not only channelled activities into their clubs from this body, but also met weekly to express their views and to vote on matters of policy. Senior Bob Morris presided during meetings in his capacity as president. Xavier under- graduates were represented by their class officers under the leadership of freshman president Mike Tanceyg sophomore president Tim Garry g junior president Al Cash, and senior president Bill Sweeney. Seated: Grupenhoff, W. Hocter, R. Morris, YV. Sweeney, E. Sajewski. Slanding: A. Cash, D. McMahoii, Duffin, T. Garry, M. Tancey. In November Student Council voted in a new system for the election of class officers. The first group affected by the change was the freshman class as it elected its representatives on Novem- ber 4 and 5. Numerous social activities filled the Council agenda during the year. The first important dance occurred on Saturday, November 13, when Xavier held its annual Homecoming. Arrangements for the dance in the Fieldhouse, the float parade during the football game, and other Homecoming activities were handled through Student Council Committees. Late in '54 several 'members of Council attended a United Nations meeting at the Uni- Page 94 versity of Indiana, for a better understanding of government procedure and policy. As February approached, Council found need for a pre-Lenten dance for Xavier students. Bill Trischler with the aid of other councilmen planned the first student Mardi Gras in Xavier's history. Activities during the weekend included a carnival, shows, ice skating, and a dance at Castle Farm on Saturday evening. Council also approved the Coke Concerts held on the Fridays of Lent. Social activities of the year were rapidly draw- ing to a close with the Spring Formal. At meet- ings previous to this dance the opportunity afforded students for voicing their opinions was utilized perhaps more than it had ever before been. Although the proposal for making the Spring Formal a dinner dance was defeated, the junior class received the unanimous Council support for a dinner in the Blue Room of the Student Union Building before the dance. Al Cash headed the committee on arrangements for his class. Council, after completing preparations for the Senior Prom, officially recessed for '54-'55 on Iune 1, when President Morris adjourned the final meeting of the second semester. The Rev. Patrick Ratterman, SJ., Dean of Men, met with Council as faculty advisor. I. VanFlandern, T. Volle, D. Lynn, YV. Long, D. Hellkamp, B. Louis, WV. Trischler, T.

At the end ofthe 1954 spring semester, a new club joined the ranks of the University extra- curricular activities. A group of veterans headed by Don Hellkamp organized the Veterans Club. The purpose of the newly formed organization was to further school spirit and to hold lively discussions on the problems common to veterans. Meetings were held in an informal and social atmosphere. Besides their monthly meetings, the activities of the Veterans Club included presenting a eteirans Club float in the Homecoming parade, manning a booth at the Mardi Gras Carnival, donating a trophy to the Rifle Club, and holding two Veterans Dances. Officers elected at the February meeting are Thomas A. DeNoma, toastmaster 5 Ioseph Keller, committee chairman: Thomas Cannon, secre- tary 5 Gene Nerone, treasurer, and Thomas Dehne, master at arms.

GILBERT MARINGER Director of the Xavier University Band XVILLIAM lVlAEHLMAN X President XVALTER BONVILLAIN Vice-President The 154-'55 edition of the Xavier University Band may again be proud of the fame it brought to Xavier through its activities. Under the baton of Mr. Gilbert Nlaringer, the bandsmen from as far west as Sante Fe, and as far south as St. Petersburg, performed for practically all the school's functions throughout the year. During the first semester, the marching men in blue performed at football games played at Xavier and away, and with the use of colorful props and lively music thrilled audiences at each performance. Before 28,000 people in the University of Cin- cinnati stadium, the high steppers perhaps topped their previous performances when they saluted the grand old profession of show busi- Page 96' Xavier University Band xv i, :.. -M fe.

In the finale, as the band formed a banjo with fluorescent strings and played Man WVith the Banjo, thunderous applause came from the crowd. As a reward for their work and service given to the school, Mr. Maringer's men received an all-expense-paid trip to Cleveland, Ohio. While they were there, they brought a bit of Texas to the city when they saluted the Lone Star State during the half time of the Xavier-John Carroll game. November did not mark the finish of the bandsmen's work, however, for they were present in the Fieldhouse to cheer their team to victory and to bring musical strains to the crowds attending basketball games.

Students from many other schools also appeared before the Xavier Presents cameras. Regulars appearing on the show included James Klei as MC, Peter Paul Loyanich and William Braun, pianistsg and Gene Iochem, vocalist. Un two programs the Rev. Iohn Reinke, SJ., presented parts of his concert- lecture on Gershwin, and on May 5 the Clef Club made its traditional appearance.

The social program receives the most stress, for the Council desires that the four years a student spends on the Evanston campus bring him as much happiness as learning. The activities of 1954-1955 included a pep rally and dance the night before the Xavier- Cincinnati football game, and a Christmas dance, the Kris Kringle Kapers, given Decem- Schafer, secretary-treasurer. The moving off campus of president Grinstead and secretary- treasurer Schafer necessitated elections at the beginning of second semester. The new presi- dent of the Dormitory Council is Thomas Morin. His assistants are Fred Galvin, vice- presidentg John Biddinger, secretary-treasurer. Rev. Robert G. Liska, SJ., is the faculty advisor. Page 101 Top row: V. Ross, Nagy, L. Smilor, Cv. Quinn, L.

The first significant event took place on November 5, when South Hall opened its doors to the Hoosier Hop. After that the Club gave a supporting hand to many of the University activities. It entered a float in the Homecoming parade, spon- sored a bus trip to Lexington for the basketball game against the University of Kentucky, and handled a booth at the Mardi Gras Carnival. Activities restricted to members of the club were the two social meetings at the Veranda and the spring picnic. Officers included Fred O'Brien, president, Ben Louthan, secretaryg and Bill Allen, trea- surer. The faculty moderator for the club is the Rev. Louis Lipps, SJ. Page 102 F'-C Cleveland Club The chief' goal of the Cleveland Club is to bring students from the Cleveland area to Xavier. This was accomplished during 1954- 1955 mainly through a series of dances and picnics, held in Cleveland, at which Club mem- bers earnestly made known the benefits derived from matriculating at the University. Not to neglect its members' social life, the Club also held dances and picnics in the Cin- cinnati area, and set up a booth at the Mardi Gras Carnival. A highlight of the year was a retreat for Club members only. Bob Morris is the president of the Club while lim Sammon is the vice-president.

Socdlallity The Soclality is one of the best known and most respected ot' the campus organizations. .Members are proud ofthe long tradition behind them, a tradition which dates almost to the sixteenth century. Sodalists keep this in mind when they look to their two supreme objectives, personal sanctification and sanctification of others. The highlight of the Sodality's year was the first closed six-day retreat in the school's history, held during Lent. The Rev. Martin Carrabine, SJ., regional director of sodalities for the Chicago Province, was the retreat master. During the second semester the Sodality also held a highly successful Day of Reparation. A monthly event in the spiritual life of each sodalist was a Day of Recollection. An objective of the Sodality is the promoting of devotion to the Sacred Heart. This was done through spreading Sacred Heart pictures on campus and sponsoring the consecrating of the Halls. Daily Rosary was promoted through the Fatima Club, a division of the Sodality. Mem- bers also distributed much Catholic literature throughout the University. A further activity of the Sodality was a dis- cussion club, at whose meetings topics on questions touching the social order were debated. Prefect of the Sodality is Daniel McMahon. Michael Charters is vice-president, and Bruno Wvolff is the secretary-treasurer. Rev. Iohn V7enzel, SJ., is Sodality director. Page 105 T p row: YV. Glueck, Bradley, E. Menes, D. Zwick.

With the two-fold purpose of training lay leaders and of promoting Catholic unity, the Xavier members of the National Federation of Catholic College Students set their sights for high achievement and accomplishment in 1954- 1955. In August, 1954, senior delegate john Grin- stead, junior delegate Harold Matthews, the Ohio-Kentucky regional vice-president john Grupenhoff, and forensics commissioner Wil- liam Glueck attended the National Congress of the Federation in Chicago. As a result the Xavier members looked forward to the school year 1954-1955 with more determination than ever. A major event occurred in October when a Regional Congress was held at Our Lady of Cincinnati College. William Glueck, as head of Forensics, led an interesting and enlightening panel at the meeting. Other Xavier representa- tives joined O.L.C. students for a workshop rich with the fruit of hard work. Page 106 Throughout the year meetings for schools of the Ohio-Kentucky region were held in Cincin- nati, Columbus, and Louisville. In February William Ford, National President, visited Xavier and other schools of the region. Un March 11, 12, and 15, all members of the Ohio-Kentucky area congregated at the Deshler- Hilton Hotel in Columbus for the annual regional workshop. john Grinstead headed the large contingent from Xavier.

Matthews was succeeded as junior delegate at Xavier by james Bradley. David Zwick was chosen senior delegate, and Conrad Donakowski became forensics commissioner. The Rev. john Yvenzel, SJ., is advisor. With the close of another school year the Xavier branch of N.F.C.C.S. eagerly looks for- ward to the National Congress to be held in Pittsburgh in August. Cleft Club The Xavier Clef Club has long been noted as one of the leading vocal groups in the tri-state area. This year proved no exception, with the Cleffers maintaining their good name and that ofthe University with many splendid concerts. Rehearsals of the first semester were spent in preparation for the concert season. The Club, bolstered by a record number of fifty-four new members, spent each Tuesday and Thursday evening in hours of laborious practice, insuring the high quality of their future performances. During the Christmas season, the Club made a number of informal appearances at local hospitals and sang seasonal music. The formal concert season of the Clef Club began February 29 with a performance at Villa Madonna High School. This was followed by many closely-spaced concerts, a few of which were those given at Summit Country Day School, Good Samaritan Hospital, The Uni- versity of Cincinnati, Our Lady of Cincinnati College, and Mercy Hospital in Hamilton, Ohio. Three concerts in Louisville schools highlighted the choral season. On May 20 at the Hotel Gibson, the Clef Club presented its annual concert-dance, and on the following night graced Family Day with an excellent choral program.

M I. DRESEN Art YVork Edit Mermaid Tavern Being a member of Mermaid Tavern com- mands a lot of respect on campus, but it also entails much work. Even before acceptance as a member of the Tavern, a student must submit a number of his writings for evaluation. This policy is also followed after the questant, one who seeks admission, has become a fully recog- nized member. MAYO Mons Host P. Loynnich and R. Siegenthaler. Perhaps the amount of effort the Taverners put into their organization can better be realized from the fact that they meet each week, to read and discuss four papers. This goes a long way in furthering the Tavern's purpose of en- couraging writing for publication, especially in University journals. The founder of the organization, the Rev. Paul Sweeney, SJ., is Tavern Warder. Mayo Mohs, the Host, is assisted by Iohn Biddinger, the Tavern Drawer. Page 109 YV. Foley, Biddinger, YV. Braun I In 1954-1955 a new organization, initiated by students of the graduate and undergraduate divisions of Xavier University, joined the extra- curricular activities and made great impact both on the Evanston campus and on the people of Cincinnati. The Xavier Student Speakers Bureau was formed to provide orators for assignment before any audience making a request. Through its program, the Speakers Bureau serves to extend the influence of the University as a source of information and culture, and also to provide an opportunity for informed and ambitious students to gain valuable experience while sharing their special interests in an organized and stimulating manner with audiences of all types. Each member of the Bureau worked on topics in which he had a personal, a vocational, or a political interest. Any club, society, high school, or public meeting was welcome to the services of any of the speakers. Page 110 Speakers Bureau Top row: Dresen, F. Conneighton, M. Mohs.

The Rev. Iohn Reinke, SJ., gives a guiding hand as faculty advisor. Philosophy Club Like other Xavier campus organizations, the Philosophy Club gives students an opportunity to enrich their education outside the classroom through extra-curricular activities. Realizing the need for Catholic lay leaders in the world today, the Club stressed free dis- cussion of current questions. At meetings held the third week of every month, students discussed these timely philo- sophical subjects. After presenting their opinions, they heard a complete explanation of the question from a qualified philosopher. Cvuest speakers included Rev. Stanley Tillman, SI., chairman of the philosophy department, and Dr. Herbert Schwartz, professor in phil- osophy. Dan McMahon serves as chairman of the Club. His assistants are Fred Drugan, host 5 and lohn Carmichael, scribe. Mr. Bernard Gen- dreau, instructor in philosophy, acts as faculty advisor. Top raw: Drescn, I. Carmichael. Tl1l.I'li l'0W.'

I Page III Biology Club During 1954-1955 the main effort of the Biology Club members this year: one on the moting of original research in biology. Students interested in the subject were encouraged to work on problems found in the area of experi- mental biology. There were two important talks given to the Biology Club members this year, one on the fact and fiction of leprosy by Sister Marie Suzanne, who has long been associated with the treatment of lepers, and another on electro- myography by Dr. Bert McBride, noted Cin- cinnati brain surgeon. :yi 1-if.

Society members agree that many ideas derived from an education are of little practical use unless one learns to express and defend them. During 1954-1955 the Society debated two topics. The national intercollegiate topic was Resolved: That the United States extend diplo- matic recognition to the Communist government of China. For competition with member schools of the National Federation of Catholic College Students, however, the debate topic was Re- rsolved: That Congress repeal the Mccarren- Walter Immigration Act.

In a successful eiicort to increase enroll- ment and enthusiasm, membership drives were held at the beginning of each semester of '54-'55. The Club, interested in promoting the name of Xavier in the Midwest, took part in a number of regattas. Included in the sailors' schedule were two regattas at Lake Cowan, the home site of the Club, with various other'Mid- western Universities, and two other regattas at Uhio State University. The Club also sponsored a pre-Lenten dance in South Hall. Hugh Keiser serves as Commodore of the Club, Paul Wurzelbacher is vice-Commodore and treasurer. Secretary is Mary Lou Vorde- Mesche, and the Rear Commodore, or social chairman, is Marty Bowyer. Mr. Ioseph Bourgeois is the faculty advisor. Page 117 Operation More To aid other organizations in the recruitment of students for Xavier University, a new activity was added to those on the Evanston campus. As its name implies, Operation More has but one primary purpose: more students for Xavier. Operation More differs from other campus activities in certain aspects. It is a strictly voluntary organizationg it has no set number of members, no regular meetings, and no social functions. Every student can be a part of the organization simply by contacting anyone he thinks would like to attend the University. In every sense of the phrase, Operation More is an all-work, no-play activity. Much effort of Operation More is directed to the enrollment of out-of-town students. This can be seen from the number of pre-college clinics that were held in various cities. At these, high school students were told, first, of the necessity of a college education, and, secondly, of the advantages obtained by attending Xavier University. The following cities were visited by Operation Nlore: Chicago, Ft. Wayne, Colum- bus, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Hamilton, and Ioliet. Operation More also held pre-college clinics at Cincinnati area high schools, thus augment- ing the work done by University students through personal Contact with prospective appli- cants. Leaders of Operation More are Fred Drugan, presidentg Mike Dahm, vice-president, Ronald Hilvers, secretary: and Thomas Kaherns, trea- surer. Rev. Edward O'Brien, SJ., is the faculty advisor.

E sei Coach Ed lliuislka On December 11, 1954, the era of a man known not only as the head football coach of Xavier University but also as the Little Ameri- can Coach of 1952 came to an abrupt end. I wish to resign as head football coach at Xavier University, December 51, with the termination of my present contract. With these few words Coach Edward Kluska, a man of character, courage, and conviction ended an eight year reign at Xavier. During '49, '50, and '51 Coach Kluska trained the greatest teams in Xavier's history. His victories in those years numbered twenty-seven against only two losses and one tie. In 1950 the power-packed Musketeers headed for the Salad Bowl confident and determined that they would return victorious, and successful they were, for they amazed Arizona State players by blasting them 55-21. In '51 esteem and prestige mounted as Xavier went to its first undefeated season. In '52 Kluska received the well deserved recog- nition as the Little American Coach of the Year as well as the International News Service acclaim as its Coach of the Year. Page 126 Xavier's lack of manpower, however, resulted in six losses in '52, seven in '55, and eight in '54. But still Coach Kluska gave his all for Xavier. His spirit and determination led his squad to an outstanding and brilliant upset of Boston Col- lege in '52 and again in '54 when undefeated Boston was considered the powerhouse of the East. Xavier's morale remained keen although victories became scarce. At all times sports- manship and loyalty to X overshadowed the defeats. Victories without sportsmanship meant little to Coach Kluska. Mr. Nixson Denton of the Cincinnati Times-Star paid tribute to him. His article, he said, was written only as a gesture of esteem to one who created fine teams when he had the material, and, whether he had fine teams, was always a quiet-spoken gentle- man, who never felt that the annual Xavier- Cincinnati game was quite as important as Cannae or Marengo. Finally, after long deliberation and with deep regret, Coach Kluska submitted his resignation. With it Xavier lost a man greatly admired off the football field as well as on. The Rev. Iames F. Maguire, SJ., President of Xavier, comment- ing on his resignation, said, He is a man of One ol' Coach Kluskxfs many activities during his tenure at Xavier. Here he greets Frank Domanico at a pep rally in th A m 5 character, courage, and sound convictionsg and in these things he has always been a fine model for those under him. In his Times-Star article of Ianuary 51, 1955, Mr. Denton magnificently expressed the opinion and feelings of those who had been connected in any way with Coach Kluska, No one in the least familiar with Xavier University's football record during Kluska's regime can question, of course, that record's 'respectability', or the 'respectability' of Kluska himself. Une of K1uska's most grievous failings, in- deed, was his attempt to make compatible the shysterism of the modern gridiron with his own decency. The two elements would not blend, but it remains a moot question among those familiar with the pressures of present-day football whether football didn't suffer a greater loss than Kluska when he bowed out on Victory Boule- vard. Representative Robert Groeneman, of the Ohio Legislature, extends the State's felicitations to Coach Kluska at the close of the 1951 unde- feated season. From left to right: Mr. Groene- man, I. Keefe, Coach Kluska, and T. Carinci. It is true that he treated his players, not as if they were university men, but as if they were high school kids. It is true that he practically tucked them into bed each night, to make certain that they were keeping trainingg that he would pale at the rumor of a halfback smoking an infrequent cigaret or tossing down a more infrequent beer. Football, under Kluska, could be, and often was almost monasticism. But it did have respectability, certainly, and none of K1uska's teams, undefeated or incon- sequential, ever brought reproach to the school whose banners it carried. The Musketeer '55 offers best wishes to Coach Kluska-and the gratitude of the faculty and student body. Victories and defeats are usually soon forgotten, but the faculty, the students, and the friends of Xavier shall long remember this man of principle, of honor, and of determina- tion-this gentleman, alumnus, and friend- Edward Kluska.

On that occasion they brought lasting fame and glory to themselves when they trounced a previously undefeated Boston College team, 19-14, in the mud and rain of Boston's Fenway Park on the memorable afternoon of October 50. Before the game BC ranked among the top Eastern teams-and was considered the best de- fensive squad in the country. ln fact, ugly reports reached Cincinnati to the effect that Boston newsmen thought the Xavier-Boston game was a kind of Halloween prank, and it is said that the Beantown wagering fraternity chose to take no interest in the anticipated out- come of the contest, much to their later dismay. None of these factors daunted Coach Ed Kluska's squad, who made the trip East with the idea that the upset of the year was in the making-and they were right. That Saturday afternoon they literally shocked Bostonians and thrilled the football fans of the nation with their win. As the eminent commentator, Red Barbour, told his nationwide audience shortly after the score was flashed into his studio, The lightning has already struck this afternoon. It is almost impossible to describe the joy and the excitement of Cincinnati listeners as they heard the WSAI broadcast of the game from Boston. To them this was the incredible- the fulfillment of their wildest hopes. And throughout the land fans realized that this was the kind of game that makes football-regarch less of the odds before the game-the greatest of American college sports. fconfinued on Page 1595 Page 129 F 9 K j.-,ffl X f fllQWANDOVE In-lk CELEBQATED 5'-t' UNE TOEND AN Q2 YAQD WINNING MAFQCH XHVIEIZ H BC I4 Qibal 6955211 l Bob Konlioly Crightj and another Xavier laclcler prepare to smash the ball clutching Quantico player. XAVIER 0 - QUANTICG MARINES 27 September 19 Classy passing by a team of highly rated for- mer collegiate stars downed the untried Muskies in their season opener. Through all but 17 seconds of the first half, the Xavier line had cut down the effectiveness of the Marines' passing by rushing their two quarterbacks. But on the last play of the half, Simonds tossed to former Notre Dame star, Don Penza, and after the conversion Quantico led 7-0. Xavier Stadium Fumbles and interceptions predominated in the second half, but Simonds managed to find his target in Ed Miodiiszewslci, who lunged into the end zone carrying part of the Xavier defense with him. In the final stanza Howie Pitt fell on a blocked kick for the third score. The last tally came when halfbaclk Ray Powell lunged across from one yard out. The PAT'S were added on these last two scores by Steve Piskach and the old Xavier nemesis, Dick Zotti.

XAVIER 0 - OHIO UNIVERSITY 12 September 25 Again a lack of offense hurt the Musliies more than anything else in their second game against an underdog Bobcat squad. At the game's close the team had played 15 straight quarters without denting the scoring column. The first half was a scoreless defensive battle with Xavier failing in three scoring attempts. Ohio U's big chance came in the second quarter when they marched to the Xavier four yard line but could not penetrate it. Ohio Stadium, Athens The tenor of the third period was much the same as what had preceded it. Toward the end of the quarter, however, Ohio's Erland Ahlherg returned Don St. Iohn's punt to the Xavier 51. After carrying the hall to the 10, Don McBride hit lim Krager in the end zone for the first score. Shortly after, the Cats intercepted a Brockhoff pass, and Ahlberg carried 40 yards for the final score of the game. N j N ' i if-If .L I A A. l i. .

Early in the first quarter Curt Jones raced 85 yards for the first score of the game, and the conversion was good. The Muskies' first tally came in the second quarter when St. Iohn intercepted a Bob Burson pass, and bowled over from 15 yards out. His conversion was good, and the score was tied. Xavier Stadium Just before the half, however, Burson hit Claude Taliaferro from the 14 yard line, and Xavier trailed 15-7. In the third quarter Great Lakes scored first on a 45 yard pass from Burson to Bernie Flowers. The Muskies scored on a 59 yard pass from Brockhoft' to former quarterback-and now half- back-Norm Zmyslinski. The final Great Lakes touchdown was a 12 yard aerial from Chuck Hren to Gene Schroeder.

That was the story as Miami, which also numbered among its 1954 conquests Cincinnati and Indiana, literally beat the Muskies into the ground. Xavier pre- vented a shutout in the final three minutes of the game with a touchdown pass from Iim Brockhoff to Fritz Bolte, which covered 27 yards. St. Iohn made the conversion. Miami's six touchdowns were scored by Bob Bronston, Iack Acus, Preston Bliss, Paul Boykin, Dean Porter, and Tom Dimitroff. Dick Hunter, the star senior signal caller, engineered the Skins to four of their six scores and passed for 77 yards and one TD. Miami had 18 Hrst downs, while Xavier had 11. In the ground gaining department the Skins took 505 yards while the Muskies picked up 75. In passing the Musketeers and the Redskins picked up 151 and 148 yards in that order.

Although Dayton drew first blood, Xavier broke loose in the second stanza, when Brock- hoff hit Iunker in the end zone. St. Iohn con- verted. The Flyers started a drive, but Konkoly intercepted a Bockenstette pass, and minutes Xavier Stadium later Bill McCloskey powered 17 yards for the tally. On the kickoff, Frank Sweeney recovered a Dayton fumble. A few plays later St. Iohn hit paydirt. His conversion was good, giving XU a comfortable halftime lead. But in the second half, after Bockenstette threw a 50 yard flip to Tom Katcavage and the PAT was good, the Muskies met their fate when Dan Ward went over from the three.

After the first half, however, Cincinnati left the field with only a 7-0 lead, knowing that it was up against a team that it could not toy with. This lone score came in the first quarter when Bearcat Dick Goist, standout back of the day, , . climaxed a 95 yard drive with a one yard plunge. The second half began again as a defensive struggle, but at length UC put together another slashing attack, climaxed when quarterback Mike Murphy hit Goist, who made a diving catch in the end zone, and the score stood 14-0. In the final period Cincinnati exploded for 19 points. As the gun sounded ending the game, UC had chalked up a 55-0 win in the eleventh game of the Muskie-Bearcat series.

XAVIER 26 - JOHN CARROLL 7 November 6 Shaw Stadium, Cleveland Fresh from their win over BC, the Muskies continued their winning ways in what may have been the final gridiron meeting between these two Jesuit rivals, for John Carroll was con- templating dropping intercollegiate football. Throughout the game Xavier was superior in every department, flashing devastating attacks which had been newly found in Boston. Late in the first period Xavier climaxed a 66 yard drive when halfback Lenny Frey went over from six inches out. St. John's kick was good. Though both teams went deep into opponents' territory in the second period, neither was able to do any damage as the half ended with X ahead 7-0. In the second half the Muskies went into action and scored twice on Konkoly's 59 yard run and another four yard plunge into paydirt. In the final period XU drove 44 yards for their final score. Captain Lou Magliano carried over, only to fumble in the end zone, but Don Turney recovered for the score.

The Southerners began the scoring early when fleet halfback Ierry Ward circled 66 yards around end. Their second score came on a three-yard pass from Case to Stauden- maier, ending an 85 yard drive. Both con- versions were good. In the second quarter Konkoly led the way for a 76 yard drive. Zmyslinski went over from XAVIER 0 November 20 The accurate passing arm of Ken Bockenstette and four Xavier fumbles were the contributing factors as the Muskies went down in the season's final effort. Although the Flyers were inside the Xavier 40 only three times all afternoon, they managed to score twice. The first came when Dayton drove to the Xavier three yard line, from which point Bockenstette slashed over. Ward converted. Xavier Stadium the three, and his conversion split the uprights. Halftime: Xavier 7, Chattanooga 14. After a Muskie fumble on the third period kickoff, the Mocs scored five plays later when Ward caught a nine yard pass from Durham. Then X took over and marched 75 yards. Kon- koly went over from the ten, and the kick was good. Xavier got to the Chattanooga 17 in the fourth period, but a fumble allowed the Moc- casins to eat up the remainder of the time. - DAYTON 15 U.D. Stadium, Dayton ' Midway in the fourth period Dayton drove 80 yards for the score. Again it was Bocken- stette, hitting Smith through the air from the three yard line. The extra point attempt was wide. Xavier managed to lead Dayton in first downs and in total rushing yardage. But Dayton's aerial attack, four XU fumbles, and two inter- cepted passes did the damage as the 1954 season closed.

The victory over Boston College, the steady improvement of the squad, and the evidence of real sportsmanship and character in the Muskies gave the Coach and his staff great satisfaction. At a general glance the 1954 season could fairly be termed a build- ing period. Almost the entire first team was composed of relatively inexperienced juniors and sophomores. Except for left end Chuck Kirkholf, the team which proved most effective for the Blue and White consisted of four juniors and six second year men. Along with Kirkhoff at left end, this team included Steve Iunker at right end, Denny Davis at left tackle, Frank Sweeney at right tackle, Iack Ruppert at left guard, Phil Magliano at right guard, Frank Bachman at center, Norm Zmyslinski at right half, and Don St. Iohn at fullback. Lou Magliano, the versatile little Purcell graduate, captained the '54 team and kept its spirit alive with his consistent drive and his willingness to fight even when the odds were less than good. Besides Kirkhoff and Captain Magliano, four other seniors played their last year of football for XU. Two of them, end lack Fitzwilliam and center Neil Loughran, suffered leg injuries in September and thereafter took little part in the season's warfare. Another, Lenny Frey, saw much service, particularly in the latter part of the fall, as a halfback and linebacker. Mike Conaton, the remaining fourth year man on the roster, saw action at tackle. As for statistics, line-cracking St. john stands out as leader in both scoring and rushing offense. His 59 points, including nine con- versions, led Bob Konkoly by 20 points. In 108 rushing attempts he gained a total of 477 yards for a 4.4 average. Konkoly was second in rush- ing, garnering 464 yards in 90 attempts for a 5.1 average. The Muskies' total rushing yardage was 1,661 against their opponents' 2,116. In the air they made 548 yards against 1,080. In total offense Xavier had 2,209 yards against their adversaries' 5,246 Xavier's rushing aver- age was 4.1 per try, and their opponents' was 4.4. The season officially closed, and the Muske- teers of '54 received their due recognition, at the annual football banquet held on November 29 at the Hotel Sheraton-Gibson. Twenty-six mem- bers of the varsity squad received letters. Xavier's President, the Very Reverend james F. Maguire, SJ., gave the keynote address. Father Maguire said that despite its won-loss record the season could be looked upon as suc- cessful in the true sense of the word. College athletics exist, he said, primarily for the building of men and of sportsmanship, and these goals were reached by the Musketeers of '54. Captain Magliano expressed his gratitude to his teammates and to the coaching staff. It was announced at the banquet that Don St. Iohn and tackle Frank Sweeney had been chosen co- captains for 1955. Both received other honors at the dinner. St. john was awarded a trophy as the team's outstanding back, and Sweeney, named its best lineman, received a similar trophy. A third was awarded to Bob Konkoly as the player who had most improved during the season. Coach Kluska, addressing the squad for the last time, said that he was proud and happy to have worked with them, and he reiterated Father Maguire's observation that this had been a successful season when judged by really im- portant norms. According to those norms, he said that he considered it the most successful year he had known since he had started his coaching career. Page 139 HARRY MICK CONNOLLY With the resignation of Coach Edward Kluska on December 11, 1954, newspapers, radio broad- casters, and the student body began to speculate who would fill his place at Xavier. Then on Ianuary 28, 1955, Very Rev. Iames F. Maguire, SJ., Xavier's President, announced that Harry Mick Connolly had been selected as head coach for football. Mr. Connolly had been backfield coach at the University of Indiana, where he worked under Bernie Crimmins. He is a graduate of Boston College, a school over which Xavier scored a sensational upset in '54, and served as a naval officer during World War 11. After leaving the service in 1948, he coached high school teams in Connecticut and New York before he went to Indiana in 1951. After a few months spent in watching films of Xavier games and scanning last year's Page 140 Xavierps New Football Coach records to get to know better the capabilities and potentialities of his players, Connolly put the squad, through toughening workouts in spring practice. The fundamentals of blocking' and tackling were first and foremost on the list of Hmustsn for each player. In a message to Xavier students, Coach Con- nolly urged them to get behind the team and give them support. It is your team and with the support of everyone, 1 am sure that we will have a team that everyone will be proud of. Rounding out the staff for 1955-1956 will be backfield coach Ed. Doherty, former coach at Arizona State College and at the University of Rhode Island, and more recently football mentor at Lawrence Hill School, Lawrence, Mass., line coach Bill Smythg and freshman coach Bob Finnell.

The charges of Finnell, who was assisted by Leo Knoll, lost their first game to a strong Miami team by a 28-12 margin. Xavier took a second period lead on a pass from Tom Nugent to Ron Borer, but it was short lived as the Papooses soon broke things open. The second contest saw the tide turn as XU won over Ohio Wesleyan, 32-0. The game, played at Xavier Stadium, saw Musketeei' tallies by Myron Kilgore, Iim McE1wain, Ted Waliczek, Ray Schulte, and Ron Borer. But the third meeting, with the University of Dayton, witnessed a strange change. The final score read Dayton 46, Xavier 0. Some 5,200 fans were in the stands at the University of Dayton to witness the debacle. Everybody got into the act for the Flyers as seven different men scored the Dayton touchdowns. The final encounter was a November meeting with Ohio University at Athens. In one of the most thrilling games of the year the two teams battled to a 15-15 deadlock. Page 141 i Q -.

Student Nlanager Won 113 Lost 113 When their 1954-1955 season ended with a .500 record'-13 victories and 15 setbacks-the hardwood Mlisketeers could well call their year on the courts a success. The team was young Qthere were only three seniors on the squadj, and many of them were playing their first year of intercollegiate competition. Furthermore, during the season, the Blue Battalion faced in its 26 game schedule eight teams which were good enough to be entered in post season Look ol' Llcleat after the lvestern Kentucky game. The team celebrates victory. NCAA and NIT tournament play. And since some of the teams were met twice, half of the season's schedule was against tournament-bound competition. The Muskies were led by star junior center Dave Piontek, who, because of his leadership and high scoring, was named the most valuable player at the annual banquet. The surprise of the year was small C5 foot, 7 inchl sophomore guard lim Boothe. In his first season of inter- collegiate competition Boothe averaged almost 12 points a game, and was instrumental in dropping highly rated teams such as Louisville, Cincinnati, and Memphis State. Other mem- bers of the first five were junior Lou Vonder- brink at the other guard post, and Duke Schneider and Captain Chuck Hofmann at the forward posts. Others who saw considerable action were Iohn Albrink, Hank Schmidt, and Tom Mitchell. At the helm of the Musketeer squad was Ned Wulk, in his fifth year as head man of the XU cagers. Coach Wulk had the team out as early as possible before the season's start, and worked them thoroughly both before and during the schedule. He says, agreeing with the comment Page 145 Nlississippi Southern tips it in for two points. of the Cincinnati sportswriters after the season closed, The fans who saw Xavier play this year did not merely watch an ordinary schedule in progression, but rather they saw a preview of all the finest post-season tournament clashes. We are not trying to alibi, but our schedule was as rough as that of any team in the country, and perhaps we weren't quite good enough for it. XAVIER 90 - DENISON 46 The season opened on a very successful note in the Nlemorial Fieldhouse with Xavier piling up an early first period lead over the invaders from Granville. This gave Coach Wulk the opportunity to test his younger members in actual competition. Of particular interest in this game was the show put on by little Iimmy Boothe. Coming off the bench to replace guard Page 144 Jim O'Connell,, Boothe showed such talent in this contest that he retained that position for the rest of the season. XAVIER 85 - MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN 50 Again in the season's second battle the second string played a good part of the game as Xavier drew an early lead and held it. Hitting 46 per- cent of their shots, the Muskies were led by Dave Piontek's 25 markers and Duke Sehneider's 15. XAVIER 81 - MEMPHIS STATE 72 The first real battle of the year took place at the Fieldhouse against the Tigers from Ten- nessee. State took an early lead, but the out- standing play of Duke Schneider came to the fore, and the Muskies held a nine point half- time Iead. In the second half jim Boothe showed why he had been promoted to the starting team as he almost personally kept Memphis at bay. A last minute offensive show by State wasn't enough, and XU hung on for the victory. Dave Piontclc misses a shot and Denison grabs the hall KENTUCKY 72 - XAVIER 69 Heading for the Cincinnati Gardens, the Muskies encountered Baron Adolph Rupp's star-laden quintet in what was expected to be one of its roughest battles of the season. And expectations were fulfilled. Led by MVP Piontek, Xavier kept close to the YVildeats throughout the game. Many times they were within striking distance, though they never seemed to take a lead. With very little time remaining in the game, the Nluskies pulled a brave comeback and came to within one point of the Ruppmen. But Kentucky managed to hold, and soon it was all over with Xavier only three points too short. EASTERN KENTUCKY 60- XAVIER 46 Still seeming stunned by their loss to Ken- tucky, the Nlusketeers journeyed south for their first away game. But they failed to bring home any plaudits. Showing less than 20 percent accuracy in their shots from the floor, they were badly outplayed throughout the whole contest. Schneider lays it up lior two. Schneider and Piontelc jump for the ball. XAVIER 64 - IOHN CARROLL 60 The second road game was played against the Cleveland Blue Streaks: and this time, although they were in trouble throughout the contest, the Nlusketeers managed to squeak to victory. It was largely through a last minute effort by former Marine Hank Schmidt that the Nluskies managed to pull the game out of the Hre. CANISIUS 78 - XAVIER 68 It was Christmas vacation time for most of the Xavier students, but not for the Wulkmen. In Buffalo they faced Canisius' potent squad, which would later enter competition in the NCAA tournament. Perhaps tired from recent games on the road, perhaps just matched against Page 145 Hofmann in top form. a superior team, the Muskies didn't have quite enough to surpass the opposing squad. XAVIER 97 - GEORGETOWN CKYQ 66 The first game of the new year got off to the right start as the Muskies returned to the friendly atmosphere of their Fieldhouse. Led once again by Piontek and Boothe, little trouble was encountered at any time after the first few seconds of play. And, although the team did not measure up to Coach YVulk's most optimistic desires, they still had more than enough to take the Kentuckians. XAVIER 67 - CINCINNATI 64 What was undoubtedly the most thrilling game of the season to date took place in the Cincinnati Gardens as the two traditional cross- town rivals met in the first of their two en- counters. UC pulled away to an early lead, and at one time held a 16-7 advantage. But soon the margin was narrowed to two points. Then Page 146 the Bearcats' Phil Wheeler' and Frank Nimmo got hot, and Cincinnati led 28-20 at halftime. In the second halt Xavier tied the score with only three minutes of the period gone, and from there led most of the way. Once again the talent of Dave Piontek paced the Nluslcies, as he pushed in 29 points. XAVIER 76 - LOUISVILLE 70 Jimmy Boothe was the star all the way in this game as the Muskies met Louisville, ranked eighth nationally at the time, on their own floor. Boothe, netting an eveningts total of 55 points, led the Mxlslcies to a 24 point lead at halftime, and even the most avid Xavier rooters were somewhat amazed. Louisville came to life in the second half, and at one point fought to within six points of Xavier. But the valiant Cincin- natians hung on to win the game. XAVIER 82 - WESTERN KENTUCKY 80 It took two overtimes to do it, but the Muskies managed to squeeze hy and take an 82-80 win on the Hilltoppers' home floor. The most amazing thing about the victory was that Western had won 67 straight home games before Dave Piontek goes up for another lxaslcet against Cveorgetowi dropping this one. Nvcstern had a foul shot that would have won the game in regulation time, but missed it, and so extra periods were called for. The first overtime still decided nothing, and the score stood at 76-76 as the second one began. Then, the scoreboard reading S0-80, Xavier stalled with a minute left, hoping to make just one good shot While not letting WGStCI'll get its hands on the ball. Duke Schneider then took a pass and laid up the winning basket to give Xavier the Victory. After the game Xavier was rated seventeenth nationally. MARSHALL 82 - XAVIER 69 The story in this game was a tight zone de- fense which Nlarshall put up against the invad- ing Muslcies. Big scoring Dave Piontek was held to seven points, and Lou Vonderbrink, who in many previous contests had been one of the most important cogs in the winning ways of Xavier, tallied only tour markers. On the bright side, Duke Schneider pushed 22 scores through the hoop. VILLANOVA 96 - XAVIER 75 In Philadelphizfs Palestra the employment of a zone defense by one of the East's top basket- Duke Schneider nets :mother two-pointer against Kentucky. Lou Vonderbrink juggles the loose ball. ball squads once again told the story. lim Boothe scored 21, but the other Xavier big guns were held silent for the evening. The Easterners managed 46 percent of their shots, while XU got only 58 percent. XAVIER 74 - MURRAY STATE 68 Back at home, the Musketeers changed their ways despite the fact that they were again facing a potent zone defense. But this time Dave Piontek was not fooled as he passed the 20 point mark and led the Blue and White to their ninth victory in fourteen games. XAVIER 86 - EASTERN KENTUCKY 72 A team which had conquered them on its own floor was this time no match for a Xavier team in friendly territory. The Wulkmen got away to an early lead and held it throughout. Numerous times the Southerners threatened, but Boothe and Vonderbrink working together from the field and on the freethrow line kept them in check. Page 147 Xavier fights for the ball. DAYTON 91 - XAVIER 80 Xavier's trouble at the boards and Dayton's red hot average at the free throw line combined to give the NIT finalists this victory at the Gardens. Led by Iohn Horan and Bill Uhl, the Flyers took an early commanding lead and held on to it without much difficulty. Xavier was paced by Lou Vonderbrink's 25 points. MEMPHIS STATE 81- XAVIER 67 The first stop on a tour through the South was a disappointment for Xavier fans. The big factor of the game was the defensive prowess of the State front line as it held Iim Boothe and Lou Vonderbrink to four points each. Twice Xavier came within six points, but both times failed to draw any closer. LOYOLA CLAJ 75 - XAVIER 71 Traditional Southern hospitality was still lacking toward the Cincinnati boys, at least on the courts, as they suffered their third straight Page 148 setback. X had a good first half, and as the second stanza started they held a 40-56 lead. But a seven minute cold streak was slow death for the men in blue as a 56-50 lead turned into a 71-60 deficit. A last minute comeback almost succeeded, but Loyola took the contest. XAVIER 81 - SPRING HILL 74 In one of the most bitter contests of the season-the game was tied 50 times-the lVIuskies finally came out on top. paced by Fran Stahl, who had just been promoted from a very successful season with the freshman squad, Xavier brought its season record to II-8. The Wulkmen led by only one point at half, and not until near the close of the game did they finally break into the clear. CINCINNATI 70 - XAVIER 69 The return match between the arch rivals took place in UC's new fieldhouse before a packed house. Dave Piontek's 26 point splurge highlighted the evening. After trailing through- out the game, X took the lead with about seven Xavier bats the ball out ofa Louisville player's hand. minutes left. lack Twyman led the Cats back, and they staved oft' some last minute heroics by XU to hang on to the win. XAVIER 101 -LOYOLA QLAJ 83 The biggest offensive show of the season was sweet revenge for Xavier as it became the first team ever to score 100 points over any club representing the New Orleans school. Led once again by Lou Vonderbrink and Dave Piontek, the Muskies built up such a big score that every man on the squad played at least eight minutes. KENTUCKY 66- XAVIER 55 Before 12,500 fans, t11e largest crowd that Kentucky drew to its Coliseum all season, Xavier managed to turn cold for the benefit of the opponents' home partisans. The closest XU ever came was six points short of a tie, chiefly because UK had almost complete control of the boards all evening. Fran Stahl, who earlier in the year had put on a tremendous show against Kentucky's freshman team, led both teams with 21 points. Cincinnati blocks a Xavier shot. Xavier battles Nliami for the lead. WESTERN KENTUCKY 75 - XAVIER 72 Determined that they would get revenge for the Muskies' breaking their long home winning streak earlier in the season, a determined batch of Hilltoppers invaded the confines of Schmidt Memorial Fieldhouse and stopped a small XU win streak on that lloor. Xavier started out in a blaze of glory, and with eleven minutes to play in the first half was ahead, 15-5. But NVestern fought back, and was clown by only one marker at the half. ln the second stanza Xavier fell behind with three minutes gone and never recaptured the lead. DAYTON 71 - XAVIER 60 The second meeting of these teams saw little difference from the first one, as the Flyers won by the same 11 point margin. Though Bill Uhl and Chris Harris fouled out for Dayton, the Muskies were inept at the foul line, and that told the story. Hank Schmidt shared XU scor- ing honors with Piontek, as each collected 12 points. Page 149 LOUISVILLE 92 - XAVIER 52 When Xavier tripped the Cardinals the first time, a disgruntled Louisville fan told the Muskies to bathe in your glory, for we'll get you in Louisville. I-Ie proved to he right, as the squad suffered its worst evening of the season. Piontek and Boothe led the Xavier scoring, and everybody managed to get into the act for Louisville. XAVIER 80 - MIAMI 74 The curtain rang down on the season with the Wulkmen bringing their record to .500 against their neighbors from Oxford. Only in the closing moments of the game did Miami come any- where near threatening the Muskie lead. Brightest spots in the Xavier column were Duke Schneider's 20 points and Iim Boothe's 18. dglllbu 4, G: Li t 'Precio' W. i s ,,,guuu4 0 4' Ucrc 1.11 1 , A ,N 4 5 -S Some Xavier fans were very hopeful that the addition of Fran Stahl to the varsity for the second semester would improve the team greatly. But though he showed well, the Musketeers continued to play their same type of game, certainly not one that was impotent, but still not one good enough to defeat such tournament-bound foes as Kentucky, Louis- ville, Cincinnati, and Dayton. Perhaps the real story was not potent opposition or a young team's lack of experience, but the environs in which they played. It is in- teresting to note that Xavier won one of three at the Cincinnati Gar- dens, nine of ten at home, and only three of thirteen in foreign courts. Page 150 Svz'olnf1'uw.' H.

Freshman Basketball One ol' the best first year squads that I have seen around here in a long time was head basketball coach Ned Wulk's comment about the '54-'55 tirosh basketball team. Finishing the season with a record of twelve wins against five setbacks, the team was led during the first semester by guards Fran Stahl and Ray Tomlin, who at that time were promoted to positions on the varsity squad. The club, coached by Bob Finnell, was led in scoring by 6 toot, 4 inch forward Frank Tartaron and 6 foot, 8 inch center Stu Courchaine, the tallest player to appear around the Xavier campus in many years. Other members of the squad included Larry Dillon, Ralpn Elwer, Tom Fischer, Harry Fitzpatrick, Stan Glaser, Bill Kenney, and Tony Olberding. Among the victims of the rampaging frosh were the fresh- men teams ot the University of Kentucky and the University of Cincinnati. Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, who once turned down Stahl be- cause of his height, was particularly impressed by his showing against the Lexington frosh. Another team falling before Finnell's squad was the Sweeney AAU quintet, composed of former Xavier varsity stars. Stahl is carried triumphantly oft' the floor after the win over U.C Page 151 T.

With the coming of warm weather the racqueteers also found their equipment and headed for the courts, while the golfers with their irons in hand made their way to the greens. The Musketeer '55 wishes them luck and success in their seasons. Intramural On September 29 Coach Ned Wulk, director of intramurals, met with representatives of the dorms and halls to map out a program for intra- mural activities. The first event on the program was touch football, and on 1V1onday afternoon, October 18, the initial season's victory was registered by Hall 9 in a closc game with Elet 5B. After several weeks of keen competition, four teams entered the semi-finals. Elet 2A edged, Hall 9, 25-18: Cottage A whitewashed Cottage B, 20-O3 the Glenwood Archers knocked Hall 12 from the winning ranks 40-125 and the fourth team, 1V1arion 1 and 2, soundly beat Elet Annex 55-12. ln the semi-final bracket the Glenwood Archers maintained their clean slate by defeat- ing Elet 2A, 52-0. Elet Annex also won a berth in the finals by defeating Cottage B, 20-14. On November 15 the two finalists, Glenwood Archers and Elet Annex, met in a grueling battle, but Glenwood Archers continued their winning way and walked off with the 1aure1s by defeating Elet Annex 57-7. Un December 1 the intramural spotlight shifted to basketball as twenty-seven teams battled for leads in three leagues. As the season progressed, team after team suffered defeat, but as they pulled into the last week of action before exams, the Loafers with a 4-0 record led League One followed close be- hind by the Cherry Pickers with a 5-0 record. In League Two the Spudnutts and Hall 12 battled for the lead as both teams remained undefeated. Elet Annex and the Welcome Tourists re- mained deadlocked for the lead in League Three as the two teams extended their winning ways by defeating Steamer and Purity Palace. Seven teams lasted for the finals, and of these the Cherry Pickers and Welcome Tourists were the odds on favorites as both finished the season with perfect marks. The intramural tournament to be held after The Musketeer '55 went to press was certain to be an exciting and interesting one. Bowling League On November 17 Xavier students opened play in their newly formed Bowling League. Early in the season the Four Sophs set a red hot pace by winning their first six games. Tony Viviano, a member of the Hilltoppers, led the league with a 175 average. As the season progressed, teams fought for high standings, but the Four Sophs held their top ground. March found them leading the league with a substantial 54-8 record, as Bob Snodgrass, F10 Sokolowski, Ed Sajewski, and Mel Brennan set new high game and high series records. Standings at the end of March were: Four Sophs .... 54-8 Four Roses .... 50-12 Blazers ...... . . 265-155 Hilltoppers ..... 26-15 Welcome Tourists .... .... 2 15-205 Splits .......... 19-25 Hungry Four. . . 18-24 Alley Cats .... 18-24 Playboys .... 17-25 Squares ...... 15-27 Four Threats .... 15-27 St. Louis Blues. . 12-50 Page 155 Page 154 Evenong Divisicm Down the time-hallowed Corridors of the Evening College pass men and women of all professions, ages, and creeds who continue their search for wisdom and knowledge.

While the students on the Evanston campus enrolled for the '54 fall semester, the Evening Division staff was busily engaged in the work of scheduling classes of ED students, men and women desirous of continuing their quest for knowledge. Dean Russell Walker, serving his second year as Dean of the downtown division, knows well the problems which face those attending night classes for he himself is not only a former pro- fessor at the school but was also a student there. Assistant Dean Gerald Harriman, who is Xavier Veterans Director and a professor of economics, continued to assist at the Evening Division. Mrs. Ianet Carpenter is secretary, and Misses Sylvia Voskuhl and ludy Whaley are staff members. With final tabulations compiled, the ED student body numbered 1,600, of whom 550 were World War II or Korean veterans. Page 158 Candidates for Homecoming Queen. Tap row: B. Glynn, D. Bauer, C.

Realizing the diversified interests and desires of students, the administration offered a variety of liberal arts, business and special programs. In each semester seventy different courses were taught. Cf especial interest was the course in City Government, which attracted not only ED men and women but also seventy high school seniors. In the second semester two golf pros instructed enthusiasts in the Golf Clinic, and in keeping with the present do-it-yourself trend, a Home Maintenance and Repair course was arranged. Early in September the Social Club called a general meeting, and invited all interested stu- dents. Under the leadership of chairman Ron Neat, the other officers-including vice-chairman Dot Trageser, secretary-treasurer Bob Soaper, liaison officer Marlene Taulbee, and advisors Mary Perry, Ann O'Brien, and lack Grever- formulated plans for the social life of the school. Hard work reaped its reward on October 12, when Bob Soaper chairmanned a Get-Acquainted Dance in the auditorium. The affair met with such success that plans quickly materialized for the Moon Over Mi-Armory Dance held on November 19. With chairman Ann O'Brien leading the way, ED students congregated in the Armory on the Evanston campus for an enjoyable evening. For the second straight year, the Social Club entered a float in the Homecoming Parade. Again Ann O'Brien supervised the activity. In all her majesty Queen Charlene Dumont and her attendants, Betty Glynn and loan Thoss, reigned over Homecoming festivities. As the holidays approached, the Social Club became engrossed with plans for the annual Christmas Dance scheduled for December 17. At Dot Tregesc-r's invitation, Santa Claus visited On February 4 students left Sycamore Street and traveled to the Evanston campus where the ED's Social Club and the Day Division's Buckeye Club co-sponsored a dance for all Xavier students. Before the school year concluded, the Lady of the Evening College was crowned at the Spring Formal on May 27 in the Kemper Lane Hotel, an affair that occurs too late for full in- clusion in The Musketeer. During the year laurels went to ED co-eds for their performances in the Masque Society's plays. On December 5, 4, and 5, lane Davoran, lean Feiertag, Donna Bauer, Iudy Nead, Iudy the gaily decorated auditorium, and led the crowd in singing carols. On December 22 Santa, with the toys and money collected at the Christmas Dance, visited Holy Trinity School, and thrilled at the children's happy faces as he filled their stockings with toys, candy, and other gifts. On Ianuary 14, Pat Hill was installed as the Honorary Cadet Colonel before Xavier Uni- versity's ROTC students at the Nlilitary Ball in the Topper Club. Later in the year she reviewed the entire ROTC regiment at the annual end-of-the-year inspection. Olberding, Lois Roll, Ioan Rolfes, Rosemary Henner, and Marty Gaffney had roles in The Man Who Came To Dinner. Later, on April 29 and 30 and May 1, Joanne Baker, lean Feiertag, and Ieannie Grannen appeared before the footlights in Praise of Folly. With the completion of the academic year, twenty-seven Evening Division students stepped forth to receive their certificates and degrees at the University's Commencement Exercises. Students talk things over in the hall before class. Students take time out from class to pose for a picture. Page 159 sax: ,,.-w 1'W!' Page 160 s S X pm H 5 fu .al .f3y:..! NS.
