Athletic Board New to Cleveland College this year is the Student Council Athletic Board. Laying plans, organizing, and following through on an exten- sive sports program for both men and women, the Board successfully met the rising demand for extra-curricular activities. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, golf, bowling, tennis, badminton, ping pong, and swimming were among the sports offered to the student this year. Headed by Athletic Director Leonard Axelband, of the Student Council, the board is composed of two men and two women elected by the student body early in the spring semester. Edith Berg and Joanne Trotter work with Mrs. Kenneth Short of the Activities Office to pro- mote sports for women, while the male duo, Francis Drake and Robert Lang, help Director Axelband handle the men's program.

Varsity Sports Cleveland College's rise in athletic ranks is best shown by the manner in which our men have become important members of the Western Reserve varsity squads. Before the football season of 1946, a Cleveland College student on a varsity squad was a novelty, but now our athletic department receives regular notices from varsity coaches announcing tryouts for Reserve squads. About seventeen Cleveland College men were in the original turnout for the football squad, and when the whistle blew for the opener against Toledo University, Paul Koedel, Bill Lonjack, and John Martin were in varsity uniform. Of these, the most outstanding member was Paul Koedel, a right end. Although only a freshman, he started every game of the season. Paul was outstanding on defense. Midway through the season, Tom Davies, Red Cat coach, said, Paul is one of the best men on the squad. If there are any more like him at Cleveland College, send them out.', When the basketball season opened, Cleveland College was again well rep- resented by thirteen men Who were hopeful of winning a varsity berth. After the Hnal cuts had been made and the team had settled down to play ball, Sonny,' Orling, Bill Perry, Eddie Solomon, and Mike Lutz were still active. Benton Tagg capably handled the task of managing the team. When Reserve reorganizes its varsity fencing team in September, 1947, Cleveland College can be sure of being responsible for a large portion of the success they achieve. In an intramural tournament held at Adelbert College, Peter Petrovich and Howard Fried were the only Cleveland College representa- tives among nineteen men. When the tournament had been completed in all three events, the foil, the sabre, and epee, Petrovich had captured a first in the foil and Fried had won the epee. With this in mind, it is easy to see that they will be men to watch when Reserve opens varsity competition. Don Edelman in the 121-pound class was one of three men chosen from the entire varsity to represent the university in the Tri-State Intercollegiate wrestling tournament. Don won most of his matches in his freshman year and promises to be one of the leading grapplers. With the successes that Cleveland College men have already attained, one can be sure that Cleveland College will be well represented on all future Red Cat teams.
