Lawrence A. Moon Mullins The past and the future of Raven athletics - and the reason for it. Fighting Teams! Alld Thell' Gellefill bYWi11iamT-D0la11,'34 l AWRENCE A. Moon Mullins. In that name lies the cause of , the extraordinary success of the ambitious and extensive athletic l program which is so effectively being carried out at St. Benedict's. This program, broad enough to reach every student in the college and high school, features both intercollegiate games, with special stress laid upon football, and intramural athletics, with emphasis on basketball. Under the Mullins' regime, which began in the fall of IQ32 with Al Mor- ley as line coach and continued this year with Jim Harris, former Notre Dame star lineman as assistant, St. Benedict's also entered better-than- average basketball, boxing, and baseball teams in these fields of inter- collegiate sport. The intramural sports, which have been supervised during the last year and a half by the Rev. Michael Carroll, moderator of athletics, and in which five different halls of the school compete, are baseball, kitten ball, tennis, handball, golf, and volley ball. Indeed athletics, both intercollegiate and intramural, at St. Benedict's have demonstrated a distinct and rapid upward trend during the last two years. Manifestly, the balm which anointed the waning interest in sports not only within the college but also the interest of the sport-loving world concerning St. Benedict's, and the lubricant which greased the great Raven grid machine to a point approaching perfection in its grand march to fourteen smashing victories in seventeen starts during the last two fall Head Coach of Athletics Tl1e dominating, wholesome character and the radi- ant personality of this former Notre Dame star have created an entirely new atmosphere not only on the field of battle, but throughout the entire school and over the spacious campus. Mullins, who benefited by four years of experience under the greatest of all coaches, Knute Rockne, has employed all of his un- usual abilities and qualifications in building Raven teams which are bringing St. Benedict's national recog- nition. The football schedule for next fall includes games with such teams as the University of Kansas Jayhawks, the West Texas State Buffaloes, the Nebras- ka State Teachers college of Hastings, Ottawa Univer- sity, and five others. 10 campaigns, were supplied by Moon Mullins. Enthusiastic alumni everywhere likewise are pro- claiming the merits of the Raven basketball teams which, during the last two years, have completed repre- sentative schedules with teams of outstanding caliber, winning better than three-fifths of their games. Always it has been the policy of the athletic depart- ment to outfit its teams with the best equipment ob- tainable. The lowliest substitute on the fifth or sixth team is just as well protected and smoothly fitted as the varsity man. This fact, together with the fact that the name Moon Mullins is connected with athletics at the college, has placed athletics in the heart of the student and the life of the school.
