GOLF During the spring semester oi 1952 there was an avid desire amo oi CCC. to prove their prowess on the links. All games were played at the Edge- brook Country Club. These games con- tinued ior a period oi which the match play was completed. Milton Kobayashi played flawless golf to end up with a 67 after handicap, while Cosimo Paone received a 69. Frank l'ler- shik and lay Cohen were close behind in third and fourth places. As the players walked oft the last gree Mel Kaplan, Student who presented the champion and runners- up with trophies for the ng the golf addicts three weeks, after n they were met by Athletic Director, ir efforts.

This game-which uses a 16 inch ball-seemed to be completely foreign to anyone living outside the Chicago area. Despite this handicap, the game was enjoyed by all who par- ticipated. The teams paired oft as Students versus Faculty, and some Fancy fielding and slugging re- sulted irom both sides. The score was lost in oblivion as both teams had some fantastic scoring sprees. Finally, the game was called oil because of the ap- proaching darkness, and the only score tallied was two sprained fingers to several sore muscles. fl WW , ,L 3 ,13 L2,w..t- WT. gy wig, kin mn, ,Qi V .l A gif ,Q W- ...sz 1...',,q .r E iif,'t3jf,Qw 'A f y F' ' it sf f

BASKETBALL The blue and gold uniforms of the CCC. cagers have been carried onto the courts of many formidable opponents. The 1952-53 season has been a successful and exciting one ' with such opponents as Fort Sheridan, Wilson Junior Col- lege, and lllinois Professional College. The team play of , Gerry Silverman, Bill Burton, Jordan Levinson, Pete Landis, I Hugh Campbell, jerry McNamara, Bob Lamonsoff and , Howie Silverman provided some exciting moments. r The highlight of every basketball season is always the Varsity-Faculty game which this year was filled with some spectacular play. A fast-moving, fast-breaking varsity was . completely at a loss when the Faculty started to put on pressure. sparked by the play of Drs. Buckets Stein, Killer Katz, Bevan Rubin, Steady Stockdale, and some T of the fanciest footwork seen on a basketball court in decades by Goose Tatum Christakos, the Faculty was . never behind in the scoring book. All due credit must be given to the Varsity for their sportsmanship and excellent showing against a team which, with a little help from the officials, have seldom lost a game. l l FACULTY BASKETBALL SQUAD
