George Underwood ' 37 Joseph Zito ' 37 Assistant Managers JOE McKENNEY During the past year, the football staff of Boston College received a distinct loss when Joe McKenney decided to accept a permanent position on the Athletic Board of the schools of the city. To say that Joe will be missed is super- fluous. As a football mentor, keen in diagnosis of an oppo- nent ' s attack and a master of defensive technique, he rapidly rose to a place of prominence among football coaches of larger collegiate institutions. His modesty, his intellectual ability, and his inevitable pleasing dispositon contributed toward making him one of the most popular members of campus life. Not only did the football team enjoy his friendship but as members of the graduating class we say with pride that he was to us an integral part of our daily activity. As a past member of that select group of football immortals while a member of the squad and as a coach of the Eagle ' s football destinies, he was ever a leader and a constant source of inspiration. We feel that the youth of Boston will find in him a sympathetic friend and adviser. No one could equal Joe in the position and we know that the success that has been his in the past, will also rightfully belong to him in the future. DAVID C. COUHIG Captain JOSEPH McKENNEY Head Coach

FOOTBALL TEAM Backs: Curran, J., Ferdenzi, Curran, R., Moynahan Line: O ' Brien, Ohrenberger, Pzenney, Donahue, Couhis (Capt.), Oilman, Furbush B A L L THE SEASON To-day, the measure of success in a football season is the computation of victories and defeats. But to many of us, there are many more essential elements to a successful season in any branch of sport. There are many qualities that are unobserved by the technical sport columnist or by the attendant in the stands. We must admit that in this matter of numerical wins and losses, the Boston College football team was not as successful as was expected. It did not equal or surpass the glorious records of Eagle aggrega- tions of other years. But despite its losses, the qualities we mentioned were ever present, — the continual attitude of desirable conquest on the part of the team and never ceas- ing support of the student body. These, in our estimation, contribute to success far more than mere laws of averages. It is not our intention to attempt to explain the failure of a potentially great eleven to live up to its early season promise. We ask no explanation even if one could be offered. We were and are as proud of the ' 34 football group as if it was a nominee to the Rose Bowl. We are proud of the stalwart Eagles that decisively defeated the Fordham Ram in actual combat, only to suffer a heartbreak- ing loss in the score. We are indeed proud of the men who struggled so magnificently against a heavier and highly favored h oly Cross team on a day when the elements were so overpowering. If we judge the team by the type of men it produced, Boston had a highly satisfactory year. Offering no alibis or excuses, the Eagle heroes litterally dug. in and won for themselves something greater than victory. As long as the Maroon and Gold is borne into the gridiron fray by such courageous battlers as Captain Couhig and his cohorts, the word failure can never be applied to an Eagle team. Defeat to the team and to the student body merely meant a further opportunity of gathering their forces for another gallant effort. Victory to all of us was indefinable. It was more than numbers on a score board. It was an exhibition of the loyalty of Boston College to its cause. WILLIAM M. ORMBSy Assistant Coach f r JOHN R. MCNAMARA Assistant Coach
