With virtually an all veteran team, the Brandeis football team of the 1957 season reached its highest peak in the seven short years of its existence. Dominated by an overwhelming team spirit, the Blue and White rolled to six wins, while losing only one game this season. Team play was in evidence this year more than any other previous year in the foot- ball history of the Judges. Co-captain, and all-New England, Maury Stein, brilliant throughout the season, was the recipient of the Joe Linsey Award as the best Brandeis back of 1957. Maury also came within 10 points of breaking Jimmy Stehlin's all-time Brandeis scoring record of 81 points scored in one season. ' Seniors Petel' Murphy, John Hanley, and Ron Stuart, rounding out the backfield, often demonstrated the reason for the team's success with consistent running and blocking. We must never forget that a football team is only as good as its line, and letting the record speak for itself, the Judges had quite a line. The superlative blocking and all-around play of Arnie Taub earned him the Ace Weinstein Award as Most Valuable Lineman of this year's squad. Co-captain Charley Napoli, along with Mike Baldovski, Al Alexanian, Al Donovan, and Bill Ruth, contributed to make the Bran- deis forward line a wall of iron. Joe Macedo, for his unselfish act of volunteering to convert from a first string end to a substitute guard, when the squad was riddled with injuries, was the recipient of the Boston Tobacco Table's annual Un- sung Hero award. Joeis deed was typical of the great spirit and hustle displayed by Coach Friedman's boys, as they placed a niche for them- selves in Brandeis football history.

Bosketboll Basketball, which has always been a high point in Brandeis ath- letics, proved no exception this year, as Harry Stein's boys played their way into the NCAA small-college tournament. Handicapped by the loss of Marty Aranow for most of the season, the Blue and White, nevertheless, ended up with 17 wins out of 20 games played during the regular season. This year's team is what might be called a record-breaking one. Each of the five seniors on the team holds at least one all-time Brandeis basketball record. Leading the team is Rudy Finderson, all-New Eng- land of a year ago. Rudy holds no less than eight Brandeis scoring records, including the record for total number of points made by any Brandeis player in varsity competition. Rudy led the Greater Boston League in scoring the last two years in succession. Last year's runner-up was Marty Aranow, who also holds the school rebounding record. Last year, Hubie LeBlanc was honored as the team's Most Valuable Player. He earned this award by his great ball handling and sparkling all-around field generalship. Hubie holds the school record for total number of assists in a season. Bob Osterberg's deadly set shot broke the back of more than one Brandeis opponent this year, and his inspired play on both defense and offense was no small factor in guiding the team to its most successful season in years. If the spirit and hustle shown during the regular season is indica- tive of the- performance to be seen in the NCAA tourney, the team should go a long way in its quest for the Collegiate Small-College Bas- ketball Championship. 56
