Nhi iii ' i i 4 Q L 4 i fre the Glnrtain Elifta The ,Purple l'atcher, animated with the spirit and activity of the class of nineteen hun. dred and eleven, is just starting out for her fifth promenade along the boulevard of time. She pretends, at least, to be smart and is presumptious enough to set a fashion in coats. The wise folks hint-but keep this quiet-that her dress is an old dress made over. with a few new and bright trimmings taking the place of frayed and faded ones. 'l'his, alas, is true, but necessarily so, for the same material is always a la mode in l'atcher circles. You will, therefore, see here the reflected-yet far dimmer splendor-of a former creation. Wfe pray, however, that the former editors and classes will not take our little liberties ill: in our wildest moments we dared not hope to equal their brilliant efforts. Indeed, the l'atchers of the yesteryears have been true friends in our hour of need and we are most grate- ful for the aid which they gave us. The slight changes which are herein seen are due to the restless desire of all for the unusual, to the monotony of entirely the same periodic perform- ance, no matter how artistic, and to our own wilful tastes. Now, for the benefit of the morrow's Patcher I-loards and of future l'atchers, we would be most earnest in our advice to break down that ugly Gibraltar in the path of progress, the reading of his write-up before publication to every self-imagined unfortunate in the class and the consequent rewriting and revising in a vain and impossible attempt to photograph a man as he sees himself. The editors themselves will always properly focus the cameras on their mates, and at any rate a scrupulous and a pretty wise moderator will always be at their shoulders to see that they do so.

XVe have attempted to breathe an air of spontaneity and naturalness in these pages, particularly in the write-ups, an air which perhaps has a little more volume than usually. Our efforts may not measure up to your expectations, but we trust that you, remembering the conditions under which we labored, will wink your eyes to the glaring faults and show, not justice, but mercy. And yet, no matter what be your pleasure, we are content in great part with the thought that sometime in days to come, when the shadows are heavy around you, you will open up this slender volume and, perhaps, Travel back a little way The rugged road to yesterday, Where scenes awake old, sleeping joys And give to men the hearts of boys. 38 THE PURPLE PATCHER 1 LOUIS A.

Iiortunate, indeed, is the Class of lQll in having as its leader tin the alphabetical orderj a man of the calibre of this dignified statesman from the Middle Xl'est. Louie with his heary, solenm personality bore down upon us in Soph- omore and immediately began to write his name in red ink. Our Ohio representative has always been impressed with the cosmopolitan tendencies of his own town in contradistinc- tion to his view of the llast. Louie, a few days after his arrival, confided to a fellow student that he had not found as many rubes in the college as he had expected. Of course, we all offered him our sympathy and gave assurance that we t would nevertheless make the place as homelike as possible. Our Westerner did not appear on the llill as a boarder in junior year. lle and Sleepy llollowl' took up their abode in a pretty little hal'-room down street. lt seems to us that X ,iljf-Qm'?ii5f?1X for one of ,l?erdie's sporting disposition, life on the Mount 0 S gd-QW, ytfflib, lacked sufficient zest and freedom. So during the long, winter ,.f fl-1' S' l , lil, evenings he tickled the ivories and sang sweet melodies to the silent, appreciative lJeck.'l y i tt? This l'iquad's future can not be one of idle dreaming: XIWJ S . gli XYhether the now distant years will find him on the floor of ,fiiLX,f the l.eg'islature arguing the interests of his native State, or liJN,lyi',,' lL..,4f ' f f' whether they will behold him elucidating' the qualities of such QQX flieffi A sterling' volumes as First Aid to the Injured, What to Do if for the Sick llabyf' etc., we feel assured that golden worth will make his presence felt.

A Ed,' is one of the few elect in the class in whose facial constituents Dame Nature was unsparingly liberal with the natural rouge. Hence it is not at all surprising that he had not been many moons away from his native hamlet without attracting the daughters of Eve in the Heart of the Common- wealth. Pretty always had a warm spot in his heart for the beauties of XVoreester, and indeed so powerful were their attractions on his aesthetic nature that many a vacation was prematurely brought to a close to be back again 'mid their ravishing charms. Ed is somewhat of a physical culturist, always believing that the education of a man's physical entity y is of great importance and hence it is not to be wondered at that he placed implicit credence in the old maxim regarding early bed and future Croesuses. 153 - y 1:42- .

For four years he has been the mainstay in championing the elass's cause on the basketball-court and as captain of the quintet for one season, he piloted the team over many a difficult place to the haven of victory. Dancing, how- ever, is really Ed's,' forte, and, indeed, it is an unheard of hall which has not welcomed him at some Terpsicliorean revelry. ln the Connecticut Valley Division of the Corridor League Pretty was always a dangerous man for individual honors, while sparing with Gobbo or the Indian he is well nigh invincible. Ed', is also a lover of fresh air, espe- cially the brand that hovered about Main street, and it is indeed a rare day when you fail to meet him and his coambu- lator, Crotty, blazing the trail.

'I'hcy early elected 'l'om commander-in-chief of the army of the unemployed, an office in which he made good from the start. 'l'his Napoleon spends much time in his library, which he stocks with cherished volumes every time thc purse leaks in his direction. ,l lere, it is, that he dopes escrvers to many sinking in the sea of trouble. Tommy, indeed, is a small package just chuck full and leaking over with good fellowship.

'lfhe little tricks pulled off by the happy team of Tom and Mon will always pleasantly linger in our memory, and some of them, we fancy, in good Father Maho- ney's also, but, mayhap, not quite so plcasatnly.

Cal with his dusky room-mate helps to constitute the foreign element of the class--the most of us belong' to the Irish-American Club. Although he is a bantam-weight and could easily sleep in a fountain pen, Cal possesses heaving qualities which would do credit to a 300-pounder. Oftentimes he has held a bunch of us enthralled as he rambled along in the narration of some fairy tale in which he was the l'rinee- and when he finished the little pocket edition of Caruso was the only one who believed it. Wfith Vin his triple fin quantityil he storms the ldeal Hotel and smokes hlarguerites for digestion. Now and then he essays his prowess on the bowling alley, but strange to say he always has hard luck. fXVorcester alleys are no good anyway. W'hy, do you know--in l'rovidence, he bowls with the best of them.j Saturday evening is generally his going out evening, and with our George Cohan, the Fall Riverite, he dulls the sharpness of the l2agle's eyes by his aesthetic dancing, which is one of his many aceomplishments. Both '1'ommy and fired say that the Eagle is the bird for the bloods and that none save the bloods can pluck her feathers. NVQ have it confidentially from Cal himself that he gets his lessons in some wonderful way, but not by hard study. Oh, no! He admits that he doesn't study. 'Tis true, indeed, he doesn't study-when the balmy summer evenings find him travelling to Rhodes on the trolley-you know he seorns l,'ete's auto-and the sunny afternoons find him shouldering the heavy responsibilities of a banker who has given the rest of the force a few months' vacation. :nm mm 4 4 ,.

XVe were fully convinced that the future of the college depended solely on us. The world was watching. We would give it reason to remember what it saw. Since that happy time, however, we have learned by means of sundry inventions of the Reverend Faculty, such as free-studies and short bounds, that ll. C. does not quite depend on us. Still many a time when Alma Mater needed men, we were found ready, willing, and able. Our dreams of victory were first realized on the gridiron, when four mighty Freshmen appeared on the field to the envy of upper classmen. and the consternation of opponents. lloly Cross Night, llaslcetball, Track, llebates and llramaties also furnished fields for our prowess, while the Muses were time and again tempted from their bashful silence by our classmates on the ,l urple.

XX'e. however, did not long use the bottle, but under the leadership of l'igmy won the lion's share of the honors on the track, gridiron and diamond. lint the crowning event of his reign was our famous vocal elifort on lloly Cross night. A The autumn of 1910 welcomed us braver and stronger, but slightly weaker in numbers. XYe had become wise fools. llut had we? Despite the example of a newly elected and very capable president, john li. H urley, we began to show that we had reserved the consideration of tl1e wise for awhile, but not so the fool. Our ery of victory after a rope pull with the Junior was not music enough to our ears so we opened hostilities with the lfreshman. A representative from the class of 1914, embodied in an angelic personage known as Mutt , was flung to the breeze in a whispering , pine. The lireshmcn, however,--as we discovered,-do not care to be placed on pedestals. ' Our sympathetic spirit was shown in the defeats which we sustained in class foot ball and class basket ball contests. These puny losses, however, were hurled far into oblivion when four Sophomores were selected to represent the l'hilomatie Debating Society in a public debate with the second year men of Fordham Lfniversi ty.

XfVith mingled awe and admiration we viewed the calm, contented features of upper-classmen. After thc usual formalities we were led up never-ending stairs and through myriad corri- dors to our proper places at the top, where we have always been and where. as the proverb hath it, there is always room. ' XYe displaced you at the start, Sophomores. Such were our hrst days on the hill. A few months gave us time to become acquainted with one another and to learn from upper-class men how Ilzvy did things. Hut at- last Class l lay came, and with it our inning. lly winning in the class games we showed conclusively that we were to be respected. Football was next on the docket and only the wrangling with the Seniors regarding' the rules for eligibility prevented us perhaps from winning' the championship. lint we were in the habit of winning now and first place in the basketball series came as a matter of course The monthly reading' of the marks finds a goodly number of the Freshmen treading the green carpet for the much coveted testimonials. Several of our number contributed regularly to the Purple and the showing' of the first' year men in the l'hilomathic speaks volumes for our future success in debate. ln closing we would by no means have it inferred that we have ever placed the interests of the class above those of the college. Nineteen hundred and fourteen considers class spirit and the friendly rivalry, which it fosters, as most desirable qualities, but always keeping in mind, how- ever, that they are but means to a greater, nobler end. ln the activities of the class we have been eminently successful. Our ambition is to be equally successful when working side by side with other classes and the Alumni for Alma Mater, with the motto, On, on, for lloly Cross, ever before us.

X f X 1 1 I f 7 'w I W X X THE PURPLE PATCHER 125 Uhr Alumni The day ol organized effort has most assuredly arrived in its fullness. Men more than ever before are concentrating' their resources and seeing' in union ol endeavor the hope of their cause. lloly Cross Alumni have always been one both in spirit and in deed. Their past is an earnest of a great future, and the time will perhaps come when they will have in the large cities their own buildings, which will be the centers of the lloly Cross propaganda. District Attorney Pelletier of Suffolk County, a lloston College graduate, asserted that all .lcsuit almnni should feel that their aims must be the same and that, recognizing' in one another natural allies, they should bend to a common work with a comon will. There is much in his message. Perhaps one of the most signilicant oi contemporary movements is the led- eration of Catholic societies. Our alumni could give the project new impetus and new iorce. Lately the voters have been iincling their favorite timber lor the district attorney's ofnce in lloly Cross hlen. T. Sullivan, in the recent election, came within a hair's breadth ol win- ning such a positiong the significance of the fact is better understood when it is known that for a Democrat to be district attorney of lfVorc ester county would be a political miracle, a hap- pening' equivalent to Redmond's becoming prime 1'l'Ill1lStCl' ol lingland. The colleg'e cannot but be favorably known on the Pacific coast, when its name there is in the keeping' ol men of the calibre ol 'llishop Conaty and District Attorney Murphy. Concrete cases do not make the abstract truth any truer, yet they seem ol greater empha- sis and conclusiveness. lloly Cross has given to the hierarchy thirteen bishopsg this particular lact but synopsises the general fact that a noble body oi priests, who claim the same alma mater with those bishops, are making' still greater and holier the world's greatest and holiest institu- tion. The lawyer-graduate who prays for the day when his fellow-alumni will unanimously re- fuse any divorce business is not an exception. Cecil Rhodes, the empire-builder, one of England's greatest men, made it a condition to be exaeted of all candidates lor his Oxford scholarships that they should be students and athletes. Most oi the teachers, who were sent out from these walls, supplement their work in the classroom by coaching' their school teams and inculcating' in them the clean sportsmanship that has always marked Mt. St. James. Q hYllCl'CVC1' you come across him, the lloly Cross graduate is succeeding upon his merits and not merely through social prestige or powerful underground influence. The leaven need be neither so large nor so obvious as the loaf its elf. So the Alumni need not be, and are not, handicapped by their lacking in numbers.

Coming as it does in the early stages of the school year, when the air of uewue ss is just beginning to wear away from the first year students, it brings both the new and the old fellows into closer compact, it cemcnts the newly-wrought ties of fraternal union, it moulds the various units in the college heterogeneity into a perfectly formed and devoted body. College spirit, to use an often abused.term, in its highest, truest sense is fanned into a brighter flame. The words of those, who have found the implements forged at lloly Cross such stalwart weapons in the warfare of the world, can not but hasten the sprouting of the seed of devotion but now sown in the heart of the new student. Profitable also in a more tangible, or, at least, in a more utilitarian way, are the addresses of the alumni, for they do not hesitate to transmit words of good advice, paternal teaching gleaned from experience's rich sources. llut the jollity of the occasion has never sutiered. lfn- der classmen make the welkin ring with shout and song. Even the very guests take care to coat the pill of advice with the sugar of anecdote and wit. lnformality is the password of the nightg unrestrained mirth and pleasure, the ear-marks of the event. lt is something indeed for us to look back upon with feelings of pride and self-approbation that lloly Cross Night sutiiered noth- ing under our administration, that we bequeathed the custom in as good condition as we re- ceived it, that our particular celebration measured up to the high standard of those that pre- ceded. The marshal, john A. NVillo, was zealous in his arrangements, careful and sapient in his choice of speakers, graceful in his presidingg in short an ideal praeco of such an observance. To him in great part was due the success of the affair.

Behaiing Svnrivtg Debating has always had a conspicuous place in the list of the activities of the students of Holy Cross. The societies, therefore, that afford a Held for this sort of effort have always been much in the eye. This is pa1'ticularly true of the ll. J. F. Society, which ever keeps green in memory the name of llishop Fenwick, the heroic founder of the college. This society has on its roll the members of the junior and Senior classes. Such a mem- bership is, indeed, profitable for it at once promotes a friendly rivalry and aggravatcs class spirit. two things which are oil to the tires of profit lighted in such an organization, The li. J. li. has often been pointed out as the beginning of the short routes to success over which so many of the old members have already traveled. This is evidence enough of the value of debating and the worth of our society. Indeed, the ll. li. has ever given, and will always give, we are sure, the man in embryo opportunity of forming the cool, deliberate, well- spoken man who will some day be in- a position where nervousness will mean failure, who some day will have to think on his feet or become the laughing stock of a crowd which would rather ridicule than applaud, who will some day appreciate and realize the blessing in being able to correctly and in linished manner phrase his thoughts, l OUR CHAMPIONS 134 THE PURPLE PATCHER Ihr Qilaum in Ephedra The Class of 1911 has had phenomenal success in debate. The members, who represented her on the debating teams of the different years, have set many precious gems in her crown. These men, possessed as they are of certain natural qualities making them especially fitted for the role of either debater or orator, were the rarest pick from a large lield, and form a group apart, a group which has earned a memorable reputation. Our Freshman team, it's true, went down to defeat before the Sophomore representa- tives. This team, however, composed of Florence Donoghue, john li. Reilly and james A. Crotty, with James C. McCarthy as alternate, put up a hard tight and was conquered only after a bitter struggle. Our Sophomore year saw a happy combination in A. Graham Maingot, Flor- ence Ilonoghue and John li. Reilly, with James A. Crotty as alternate, a combination which could scarcely be duplicated. The trio of Freshmen proved powerless before the lierce on- slaughts of their argument and readily submitted to the yoke. llut as Juniors we were loudest in our rejoicings. ln that year-under the captaincy of the invincible Crotty-A. Graham hlaingot, john A. XYillo and James A. Crotty, with XVilliam li. lllcfilynn as alternate, easily put the Senior team to rout in sorry confusion. This victory was the sweeter when precedent was considered, not to mention the age, longer experience and the skill of our opponents. And so the Seniors-breathe it low-were forced to swallow a pill of the same prescription we had swallowed as l7re shmen. The victory in Senior was nominally ours. The Junior team, owing to a little misunder- standing, would not debate. llowever, the Senior representatives, James A. Crotty, who was captain, John li. Reilly and lilorence bl. Donoghue, with Qlohn A. XX'illo as alternate, appeared before a critical jury selected from the faculty and gave a masterful debate which was judged worthy of the premium of merit. THE PURPLE PATCHER 135 lghilnmathir Brhaiing Svnrirty One of the most cherished institutions of the college is the l'hilomathic Debating Society. The members, who are either Freshmen or Sophomores, have always shown a lively interest in the organization, an interest which has always shamed their more academic brothers who, per- haps, have no such disposition regarding their peculiar society. The l'hilomathics past is, there- fore, rich in glorious records and achievements. The very men, indeed, who represented the col- lege on the team which routed the pick of Harvard's debaters, here received their earliest training in elocution and logic. llut the past shines no more brightly than the present. The society, as it exists to-day. was never in a more ilourishing condition. The membership is large and choice: the attendance at the meetings, always inspiring. The present year has seen subject after subject threshed out in debates which evidenced a knowledge deep and a diction marvelous. The present year has even seen more. A team, consisting of Laurence jackson, '13, Fred-- erick XV. Callahan, '13, and Francis L. Foran, 'I 3, with Joseph l'. Dalton, ,l3, as alternate. met and overwhelmingly defeated a trio from the Sophomore class of Fordham. The debate, which read Resolved :- That the present system of electing United States Senators by the State Leg- islature is preferable to the proposed system of direct election by the people, coaxed from our participants, particularly, a fluency, a deli-very and an argumentation which indicated a premature maturity. 'lt is, indeed. the aim ofthe members of to- day to preserve well the reputation which the l'hilon1athic has always enjoyed and our every act has been conducive to this end. CHAPEL THE RURPLE PATCHER 137 Svnhalitiw at Mnlg Olrnmi Notable in the traditions of Mount St. james is a most edifying devotion to the 'Holy Mother oi Ciod, a devotion whose organized inception occurred scarcely two years after the found- ing ol' the institution. Modern attractions in college lile have not severed the bond. which serves to link the alliavailing help of our Illessed l.ady with the labors ofthe student. The distinguishing note in the nature of the sodality exercises is the voluntary acknowledgment of lilial love for the Queen of angels and ol men. 'During the past year the Sodality of the l mmaeulate Conception, under the prudent guid- ance ol' Rev. .lames V. Kelly, S. has increased in number and inlluence. A generous deal of praise is likewise due to the moderator of the llay Scholars' Sodality, Mr. Charles li. Connor, S. bl., and also to the director of the Sodality of the lloly Angels, Nr. .lerome li. Town, S. 'lloth have, by their instructive talks, provoked a lively interest in the serious works of life. Let the spirit of the socialist ever be fostered and amplified, lor it aims at the development of the spiritual faculties in the youth and, thereby, forms an important element in a truly liberal education. THE PURPLE STAFF THE PURPLE PATCHER 139 Uhr Mnlg Glrnzn 151111112 Gradually-now slowly, now quickly-the Purple has forged to the front rank among college periodicals. The forces, which produced such progress, were the elliiciency and interest of moderators and staffs. 'l'he magazine, which crowns the glories of lloly Cross, has certainly gained a popularity which is not only flattering to the contributors, but even to most of thei other students. 'l'he policy of the founders of tl1e Purple has ever been adhered to and this accounts in great part for its success. The llurple enjoys a certain vogue, but a not altogether satisfactory one. The subscrip- tion list can and should he larger. '.I'here maybe no casus belli, but there is certainly some little ground for complaint. The subscription list certainly does not show the proper apprecia- tion of the true worth of our college periodical. l llut we would change our tone. The Class of Itjlls has been belittingly represented on llurple Iloards ever since our course began. Too much-praise, indeed. cannot be given to those from our midst who so untiringly devoted themselves to the writing of the graceful bits of prose and verse which adorned the pages of the magazine. Edmund li. Curran is the special object of our assault. llis editorials during the past year have had as their constituents a timeliness and a flavor which were interesting and delightful. Now we can do no more than hope that the l'urple will never defeat its own preamble: 'I'IIl2 l'IOl.Y CROSS l'L'RI'l,li is a Literary Magazine, published at lloly Cross Col- lege, XX'orcester.

CAST OF ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME THE PURPLE PATCHER 143 All the Glnmfnrtz nf Earns The society's most popular el'l'ort, at least, in our memory, was on the night of May 23, IQIO, when All the Comforts ol Home, an old Gillette comedy-success. were most conspicuous- ly as well as most artistically shown in lfenwiek llall, before an appreciative audience. The play dealt with the strange doings in Mr. l'ettibone's palatial residence which, in his absence, was turned into a boarding house by a hard-up nephew and a patronizing tramp. The merry whirl of comedy set up by the nephew, the tramp, and a handful ol assorted boarders reached its greatest velocity with the unexpected return ol' Mr. l'ettibone. This was the vehicle in which lfdmond A. tlenercux, '11, a discovery of the new and cap- able moderator, Mr. Charles li.

XVilliam l'. hlctilynn, il 1, as Mozart Dabney, a broken down music teacher, sustained the reputation which he had already earned.

Hence as an all-wise mother, ever solicitous for the true welfare of'her sons and at the same time duly mindful of the need of physical development in the proper training of the students, lloly Cross has aH'ordcd them every opportunity to preserve and round out their physical perfection. lt must not, however, be concluded from this that Holy Cross as some of her sister colleges looks upon physical training as the primary aim of a college education, but rather as an exponent of an education truly so-called she rightly and strictly subordinates all athletic branches to the intel- lectual and moral training of the individual. ' The Holy Cross athlete travels no royal road to learning. His punctual attendance at every class in a prescribed course, strictly classical varying from 22 to 25 hours a week is im- perative, while his ranking above the passing mark in every subject is an essential condition to be fultilled before representing the college in any branch of sports. Considering on the one hand the college's rigid system of marking in vogue which excludes any concession to an athlete, the scrupulous honesty of the management in using only bona fide scholars, and the brevity of the practice hou1's and on the other hand the enviable success of every Purple team, whether it be on the diamond or gridiron or on the court or track. the logical man can arrive at but one conclu- sion, namely, that the Holy Cross athlete stands as an exemplar of what the college athlete ought to be. ln its intercollegiate athletic relations Holy Cross holds a truly enviably place. In base- ball--the primary sport-but 'few colleges in the academic world can boast either of a record on the diamond as great as the l'urple's or of as many graduates as those who left the Hill of 'Pleas- ant Springs and whose efhgies today adorn the llaseball Hall of Fame. On the gridiron our grit and dogged tenacity have won for us the respect of as well as a permanent position on the schedules of Yale, l'rinceton and Dartmouth. XYhile in track Holy Cross men have always proven themselves as worthy opponents. In every branch of sport, the Holy Cross man stands for what is clean and gentlemanly in athletics and in all his athletic work he preserves the proper relations between sport and study, always subordinating the call of the held to the call of duty. fig fN N Sn R If lmllldflllllllllllll Q I QWWJW NNN WW Xl 0101011111111 6?

K 50 f 4 A,,,,w., THE PURPLE PATCHER 151 illnnitmll at Enlg Glrnaa lt cannot be denied that a college's athletic status is one of its best means of advertise- ment, especially for obtaining prospective candidates for her varsity teams.' That college which produces superior teams in all branches of sport is especially fortunate, for she will seldom lack adequate athletic material, but the college which is but mediocre in a certain department will thereby suffer, for she will generally have great difficulty in finding among her students athletes of sufficient ability to remedy this weakness. As a rule an athlete registers at that college where his particular branch holds the premier position: a baseball player naturally chooses a college where baseball is the main sport and so with other athletes in regard to their respec- tive branches. Consequently the other sports will stiffer and herein lies one reason for the sec- ondariness of Football at lloly Cross. i ller success in this department has been of the up-and-down variety with the result that until very recently star football men have been reluctant to come here-not to infer that lloly Cross has not been able to boast of brilliant play ers, for men like Stankard, Reed, l.arkin. Carney. l'allotti and Triggs. are players of whom any college might well be proud-but some of the more egotistical think that they may jeopardize their football reputations by a move of this kind. 'l'his accounts to a great extent for the dearth of football material at lloly Cross. Another matter which has much influence on our football condition is the short time al- lowed for practice. The curriculum prescribed and maintained by lloly Cross is its proud boast and such that it' necessitates the extension of class hours until late in the afternoon thus caus- ing regular curtailment of practice with the inevitable results. llut various steps have been taken to raise the football standard of the Purple and one great advantage has accrued from the appointment of a graduate coach. Formerly our coaches had been chosen from among those who submitted their names for consideration, but in 1906, acting upon the suggestion for a graduate coach, the Athletic Association securedlfor the position men whose interest in the eleven has been more than pecuniary, and the results have been very encouraging. I Occasionally a successful season has led us to look for the gradual uplifting of the Purple football standing, but each anticipation has been attended by its disappointments. Tn I908. how- ever, encouragement again came when Trigg's team ushered in an unprecedented era, which ex- tending up to the present, bids 'fair to continue and in the near future to give lloly Cross elevens a reputation equal to that of her representatives on the diamond.

Coacl1 Larkin welded together a team whose speed and aggressiveness as well as its skill with the forward pass placed it among' the best of tl1e minor college teams of the ffast. Uf the first two contests with Norwich and with Vermont little can be said except that they resulted respectively in victory and defeat for tl1e ,Purple by tl1e same scores, 5-0. llowever it was in our next contest, against Yale. and later on against lbartmouth that we rhowed decided improvement UVCI' preceeding elcvens not only by our great defensive play in both games. but also by scoring a touchdown against llartmonth on four successive forward passes perfectly executed by cpiarter-back Mahoney. lincouraged by our showing against Yale we journeyed to l'ortland and there defeated the strong llowdoin team by a I2-5 score. llefore the game our boys were the guests of Colonel l.ynch, an alumnus of lloly Cross. - 'l'l1e week following the Dartmouth game we met 'l'rinity and this contest was the only unfavorable circumstance of the seaso11's xvorlc: the 28-0 score bespealvs a one-sided game butit should by no means be taken as a criterion of tl1e relative merits of tl1e opposing elevens. Al- though this defeat was a bitter pill still it must have had its good effects, for in our next game we defeated 'l'ufts 6-0, and continuing the good work closed the season with a glorious victory over our local opponent.

'l'he small number of candidates appearing for the lirst practice of the season offered little encouragement for a bright future, but, as was afterwards shown, quality greatly exceeded quantity, and as a result the season's record was very favorable. Our greatest setback was the scarcity of capable second string men to take the places of the injured regulars. I At the very outset, hope mounted high on account of our decisive victories over Norwich lfniversity and New liampshire. The next game was at New Haveng full of confidence we met Yale and gave the Blue the hardest battle hitherto given it by a Purple team. As in preceed- ing Yale contests, so in this we sustained several injuries and consequently in the next game with 'l'rinity. our best eiliorts resulted only in a tie, Dunn scoring after carrying the ball up the lield on line-plunges amounting to nearly IOO yards. lf ever a game was destined to bring out the moral training received from athletics that game was with Tlowdoin, when the self-control of our men was tried to the limit. Consider- ing the adverse circumstances. our 5-o defeat was by no means to be lamented. As against Yale, so against Dartmouth we put up a wonderful defensive game, time and time again holding the Green for downs when but a few yards from our goal-line. And again as in the Yale game all scoring was done in the first half. At this time serious injuries to Capt. Sweeney incapacitated him for the remainder of the season, thus depriving the eleven of an ex- perienced player and aggressive leader. A fluke touchdown resulted in our defeat by Fordham. and in our last game heavy penal- ties after long runs by Jones, deprived us of possible victory over XV. l . l.

Our Senior year saw a team which quite sustained our view that lloly Cross was fast wi11- ning' a 1'eputation in football which would make her feared on tl1e gridiron as 1nucl1 as she is on tl1e diamond. .lohn Smith, '1 1, as manager i11 spite of many disheartening' and seemingly in- surmountable obstacles arranged a schedule which was most satisfactory. The enthusiasm witl1 which a g'ame with Princeton was g1'ected was univc1'sal. llandicapped by tl1c lack of prelimi11ary games i11 which to work tog'etl1er, the 1910 team including' six Freshmen i11 its lineup, opened its season with Yale and gave an exhibition which surpassed even that of tl1c 19C9 team. .-Xccording' to custom, injuries 1'esulted. this time a broken ankle, disabling' Capt. l.awlor, an excellent player and an earnest worker whose ab- sence was keenly felt in 'future contests. Our O-O tie with Springlield Training' School was quite satisfactory CUllSlflCl'lllQ' how evenly matched were the opposing' elevens. After decisive victories over Colby and lloston College wc journeyed to Princeton and although tl1e Tig'e1' triumphed, the Pu1'ple backs broke through tl1e opposing' line for repeated gains and were only hindered from scoring' by a powerful second- ary defense. fn this game .loy distinguished himself by his punting, many times preventing' Princeton from piling' up scores by driving the ball far up the lield. Tl1e following' week witnessed our annual Tech game wl1ich again resulted in a scoreless tie, not altogether satisfactory to Purple supporters. In a g'ame featured by long' runs especially by joy and Mahoney we defeated Tufts by a round score using' all manner of attack to the b est advantage. .Xu injurv received in this game forced the retirement of XYhalcn tl1e diminutive 'Purple quarter-lzack whose work thus far had been most commendable. Our so-called defeat by Rochester University on Thanksgiving' Day ended o11r season. l'nreasonahlc penalties depriving' us of three- well-earned touchdowns made victory for lloly Cross an impossibility.

During tl1e wi11ter of our first year on tl1e ,ll ill of 'Pleasant Springs, we l1ad an opportunity to see o11e of the l'urple's best track teams. t'nder tl1e capt:1ineyof joe Foley, the team opened its season at tl1e lfi. A. A. meet in lloston and made an excellent showing. Our allotments in tl1e prize column tl1at night were a victory in tl1e relay race witl1 lloston College and the winning of the 40-yEIl'Cl dash by lirank Alaynes i11 tl1e record time of 4:4-5 seconds. 'lfwo weeks later tl1e team was entered at tl1e llartford llattalion Meet at ,llartford but Owillg' to tl1e fact tl1at good training before tl1e meet was impossible on accou11t of the n1id-year examinations the men were u11able to keep up to the standard tl1ey had set i11 tl1e first meet. Yet, notwithstanding this l1a11dicap tl1e team managed to secure two places i11 tl1e 40 yard dash, Naynes and Foley fin- ishing second a11d third respectively. At tl1e same meet Qlones 'll finished first i11 the mile run, but he was disqualified by a11 apparently over-partisan judge. After this meet the team was disbanded by order of tl1e faculty. SEASON OF 1909. The history of tl1e 1909 track team centres chiefly around the victories of one of tl1e fastest relay teams in tl1e annals of lloly Cross Track Athletics. To this remarkable team the class of 1911 contributed Hill Mclienna a11d jig Jones, two of tl1e lastest 111011 that ever bore the l'urple to victory. On February 6th, we OlJCllCCi the seaso11 with a victory over lloston College i11 a dual relay race at the Il. A. A. ga111es. At the intercollegiate meet on February 19th, at the State Armory, llartford, tl1e relay team won an easy victory in a four-cornered relay race against Trinity, Tufts a11d XX'esleyan, lJCZlf.ll'lg their nearest opponent by 40 yards, in tl1e record time of 3111. 53 sec. to tl1e n1ile. At this meet Danny ltlahoney secured 3rd place in tl1e 40 yard dash after setting a 11ew collegiate record of 4:3-5 sec. i11 his heat, while jones 'Il a11d Daly finished 2l1Cl Plllfl 3rd i11 tl1e mile run, respectively. A At the Emmet Guards meet i11 XVoreester a few weeks later, the relay team added another victory to its list defeating the NV. l . l. relay team. At the Fordliam Indoor Athletic Carni- val in New York on ltflarch 2Oill'l, tl1e purple-stockinged lads finished seco11d to Fordham, Georgetown being third in a one mile triangular relay race, while Uill'l McKenna ,II finished third in a fast novice 70 yard dash.

Under the able leadership of Captain Mc Kenna ,ll and the competent direction of Coach Holland the Holy Cross track team e11tered upon the season of IQIO full of dash and hope. As a preliminary tryout before tl1e season's hard work, a Cross Country Ru11 was run olli on No- vember 5, IQOQ, Michael llonahuc ill being tl1e victor in a field of 16 e11tries wl1ile Dutly ,II and jones ill finished second a11d fourth, respectively. illl the second Cross Country Run held a few weeks later llutty 'I 1, Donahue ,ll a11d Mctilynn 'II were awarded the U1ll'2lCllllZ.l laudis in their respective order. At the limmet Guards meet in Worcester early in .lanuary Duffy again distinguished himself finishing second in tl1e mile run. The season was formally opened at the ll. .-X. A. games in lloston on the night of February 12th. At this meet tl1e l'urple Relay '.l'eam composed of Captain Mclienna ill, Jones ill, Rochford ,IO and Mahoney '12 defeated tl1e lloston College quartette in the 'fast ti111e of 3111. 15 sec. On February 21, the track team displayed its sterling worth at the limmet Guards' Meet in Yt orcester. carrying off the point trophy and triumphing over such track teams as llrown, XV. l'. l. and llates.

Outdoor work began late in tl1e Spring, but owing to participation in other sports only a small number of the large winter squad 1'Cl3Ol'il ed 'for training and practice. On May 14th, We were e11tered as a team in a triangular meet with NV. l'. l. and Rensselaer 'l'ech at Vtforeester Oval and Finished third with 30 points. This was, however, no mean 11or meagre showing for the l urple, in view of tl1e facts tl1at sl1e had about one half the number of contestants which each of the other colleges had entered in the me et, and these men were all entered in tl1e dashes in which events lloly Cross far outpointed her rivals.

The grand success of the track team, the previous year under the able leadership of Hill McKenna ,II warranted his unanimous reelection as Captain of tl1e IQII Track 'l1C1ll11 early in tl1e season. 'Under suel1 a co1npete11t leader and with a n1a11ager as enthusiastic in his work as Daly '11 and a coach as experienced as XVilliam McCarthy of Cornell fame, tl1e 1911 team bid fair to set a new record in lloly Cross Track Athletics. To get an estimate of the material which had come i11to the college in the largest Freshman class in its history an inte1'class meet was held early in October. 'l'he result of tl1e meet was most gratifying and the numbers a11d capa- bilities of tl1e new men gave the management considerable encouragement for a ilflgllf and suc- cessful year. . The hrst call for ca11didates was issued shortly after the Christmas holidays and an exceed- ingly large and promising squad reported for practice. As a preliminary to the season's work, a few men were entered at the Emmet t'i11a1'cls,M'eet in XVorcester on januarv 4th, llere llol- and ,I2 and Captain Mclfenna '11 took 2nd andgrd respectively in the 40 yard dash. while third place in a fast 440 yard dash was won by MCK enna FII, wl1o started only a few inches from the scratch, As usual the team opened its season at the ll. A. A. games in lioston on tl1e night of February lltil. A tria11gular relay race lJCtVVCCl1 Georgetown, lloston College and Holy Cross was scheduled for the evening. but owing to the withdrawal of lloston College, tl1e l'urple matched its strength with tl1e lllue a11d Gray and proved itself tl1e superior team. At this meet Trowell 'I4 witl1 a 'handicap of lllllC feet had an easy time taking the 40 yard dash, while llol- Zlllll ,12 lost a eertai11 place in this event by wrenching a tendon after easily winning his heat. At the Fordham meet held in New York City i11 tl1e 71st regiment barracks, our relay team fin-. ished far llcillllfi the Gothamites. The polished surface of the floor, the lack of banks and as a result an entirely new style of running shoe completely put our boys out of the running at this meet. On March 20th at an indoor l11CCfllClCl under the auspices of tl1e Eminet Guards in XVorcester, Captain Mclienna won a l1ard contested 660 yard dash in a lield of seven competi- tors. Through the history of track athletics during our stay on Mt. St. james, perhaps 'no man l1as bee11 more conspicuous or a greater point wi1111er for tl1e Purple than Captain Hill Mc- Kenna. llis thorough knowledge of this branch of sport and his in11ate ability as a runner have compared to secure for him a niche in the lzloly Cross Track Athletic Hall of liame. 1907 BASKETBALL TEAM THE PURPL E PATCHER 167 I Eauakethall XfVith the close of the 1908-1909 basketball se as an intercollegiate sport at Holy Cross.

THE PURPLE PATCHER 169 Baseball in General As a royal naturalist spends days and nights in seeking some rare flower and at last is happy in its possession, so the kings in the baseball world have searched all fields and always found the rarest blooms in that nursery for big leaguers, lloly Cross. And since tue lights of new players shine brightly in the ,twilight of the season, lloly Cross always glimmers with Iinds. Ilrilliant too, has been their development. ',l'herefore in sane moments. when the mist of Old ICli's and Fair lIarvarcl's foot-ball triumphs does not cloud your vision, recall those star batteries of the early '9O's. Stafford and lllerrit, Cahill and Mead e, and then in the circle of the years, their wor- thy successors, those mighty pitchers, Coakley, llogerty, lllanslield and Dowd and such phenoms as Fox, lflynn, Carrigan and lloey. Ile sides, three purple stars already have participated in XVorld's Series, the late highly respected Powers, Coakley of Xllhite lilephant and Cub fame, and llarry the sensation of college ball, who now vies with all shortstop stars in popularity and ability. 'l'hese are but a few of her many heroes, who need bow before -none of the stars of other colleges, men worthy of an institution like Ifoly Cross and who have aided her materially in her ascendency to that supremacy which she always held in the annals of college, ball. XYith excellent pitching and the ability to bat freely as its best asset-from the sensation lo- ver, the performer of one-hand catches and the individual batting genius-the team is a ma- chine equipped with nine actively thinking brains. And so, with players willing to take chances. alert to every opportunity and always desirous of accomplishing the seemingly impossible, the saying 'I'here's nothing new under the sun finds its exception on liitton liield. f Moreover, the lloly Cross boy loves the uncertain, the desperate chances, the long-shot, and learning to be grave and calm in victory and to smile hopefully in defeat, his love of the game is instinctive and real. llis warmth of interest and solieitude is as purely personal as if he were a player instead of an onlooker. The lloly Cross team indeed, has always been looked upon as a fast and formidable foe. A victor-yiovier the Purple lads is certainly a well deserved laurel wreath. 1908 BASEBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 171 SEASON OF 1908. The season of 1908- Jack Rarry's year-was a famous one in many respects. Twenty vie- tories with but a total of seven defeats, but briefly tells the story of one of the greatest of lloly Cross baseball teams. Strong on the mound, aggressive on the offense, dangerous on the defense, in fact great in all departments is but a brief way of characterizing the true greatness of this year's team. X'Vith an infield composed of such men as Captain llarry. Cashen. Carney and O'Rourke and a battery as effective as it was famous, Holy Cross was amongst the top-notchers in the ranking of the intercollegiate champions of the year. ln Dowd and Mansfield, who were conceded by the best authorities second and third places respectively in the ranking of star college pitchers, Holy Cross had two of the cleverest mound men who ever championed the cause of the Purple. These truly wonderful youngsters were the mainstays in the team's defense, and the inability of almost every college to bat their curves successfully was one of the important factors in the year's success on the diamond. Two of the games this season ran over nine innings-one with Seton llall, which ended in a one to one score in the fourteenth inning-and the other was an exciting eleven inning game with the University of l'ennsylvania, which ended in a 4-2 victory for the Quakers. Of our twenty victories nine were shut-out games, ciphers in the run column having been charged up to such teams as Fordham, Dartmouth, Carlisle, Yale, Tufts and XfVill'iams. Skip Dowd was chiefly instrumental in our victories over C1 eorgetown with its renowned Cantwell and llar- vard with its 1'edoubtable llicks. jimmy lXlanslield with his characteristic coolness and head- work pitched his best games against Williams, XVesleyan and Dartmouth. lowering the colors of the latter college three times. .ln the Yale games of this year, llowd allowed but one hit in each contest-these coming in the ninth inning after two men had been retired. ln the lirst contest with Old 'lili which was played on Fitton Iiield, Skip made a record, eleven assists to his credit and allowing but one man to pass second base. ln the l'enn game, the feature which will always be remembered- was the Shay and llarry relav which nailed Cockran the star l,'enn man at the plate. Carney's triple with the bases full at Williamstown vanquished the mighty Templeton. The success of the season may in large measures be attributed to the ability and capable leadership of jack 'lllarry-the greatest shortstop the Purple has ever boasted of. llis gentlcmanly bear- ing and manly and clean playing have won him a solid place in the heart of every loyal supporter of Holy Cross, and he has their sincerest wishes that his past and present greatness on the dia- monds of the major leagues may be but shadows in eomparion with his coming fame. 1909 BASEBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 173 sEAsoN OF 1909. Though not as brilliant as some others, this season was signalized by administering defeat to such teams as Yale, llarvard, l'enn, llrown and liartmouth. .lior the third time in two years Old Eli was whitewashed and allowed but one hit.. The striking feature of the season's play was the exccllent work done by the veteran pitchers, llowd, lfoley and Mahoney and our excellent backstops, Larkin and Sweeney. Although injuries kept some veterans out of the game at different times, nevertheless. characteristic courage and pluck surmounted these handicaps and when the team struck its gaitf, the wonder ful .l'urple Machine, which had triumphed in other years worked without friction, with the dazzling brilliancy which always characterized it. On our Southern trip we played with teams well-seasoned by practice and the results were encouragingg we opened auspiciously, when 'Dowd allowed l'enn 2 hits, defeating the Quakers, II-O. lleginning April 17th, Foley pitched three games in'a week. The hard hitting Ilrunon- ians and the X'Yesleyanites only twice connecting with liisdeceotive curves and in the ninth with three on bases he struck two men out. Niagara with its illustrious Yates fell before jim lX'lahoney's excellent control and deceptive benders. This year lloly Cross raised havoc with the slants and shoots of certain prominent collegiate twirlers. The mighty Collins was solved for twelve hits, including two doubles and a triple. Mitchell, with one game against us and al- lowing but twelve hits in six games, on Memorial Day was touched up for that nmnber by the lf'm'ple lads. Even lXlartin of Tufts succumbed to our batsmen twice in brilliant games. Dowd and Mahoney of lfordliam engaged in a genuine pitcher's battle in which, in stretch- ing a triple, D. ltlahoney, was caught by inches at the plate. The llrinceton contest was a ninth inning batting rally in which four successive bingles and clever base-running contributed four runs and which was terminated by l'itman's brilliant catch of Carney's terrilic liner. On May Sth, l-larvard lost her lirst game of the year. Against the Crimson with six runs in the lead and playing faultless ball behind Hicks, the star pitcher of 1909. our consistency and de- termination aided by terrilic batting won a grand uphill battle. XX'e recall with pride those never-to-be-forgotten innings, when our boys displayed the greatest conceivable hitting powers, and Fryer, who with his second double furnish ed a garrison finish to as brilliant a contest as has been seen on Fitton lfield for years. 1910 BASEBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 175 SEASON OF 1910. This year was not altogether devoid of disappointments inasmuch as our veteran battery, Dowd and Sweeney. was incapacitated by injuries. Moreover in the face of a few defeats by the smaller colleges, when second string men were on the mound for the Purple, it would have been expected that the players would have lost all ambition and become indifferent. On the contrary our loyal supporters will always recall with justifiable pride the victorious ball we played against the Big Four when unswerving gameness and the true mettle of the team were needed. The splendid results of this year added new laurels to the brow of Coach Dyer. Inas- much as it was the first year that he was instrumental in shaping the destiny of the Purple ball team, he has established an enviable reputation as a leader and is to be congratulated on his suc- cess in building up a fast and capable team from a squad of well nigh all new men. To the genial McNulty was due the credit of arranging a schedule which was one of the best, if it' did not excel every other in our history. It was a season, noted for the brilliant pitching of Foley, Mahoney and Regan, the sensa- tional and phenomenal fielding of our smoothly working infield machine, and the natural hard hitting powers of such men as Flynn, Burns and Captain Jones. The bulk of the pitching fell on Foley, the four hit hero of the l'urple. fle pro ved himself equal to the task and his perform- ances ranked him as a member of the star aggregationl' which included such men as Temple- ton, Mahoney, Shultz, and McClure. The four pitchers' battles, two with Fordham and two with 'Harvard in which Foley, Ma- honey and Hicks were the men of the hour were perhaps the best games of the season. Still we must not forget the 0-o Yale game and the 2-2 VVilliams contest, where jim Mahoney al- lowed his opponents four hits and these after the eighth inning. The Dartmouth game was practically won by Jones's triple to the flag-pole with three men on bases. Foley gave l rince- ton but three hits. lt was here that Cawlcy's wonderful fielding proved the undoing of llallin, the fastest base runner in the college world. Our southpaw, Regan in four games, viz. Manhat- tan, Seton Hall and two with Virginia allowed but six hits and struck out 41 men. No col- lege team of this season could boast of a quartet te of pitchers, the equal of Foley, Dowd, Ma- honey and Regan, nor of an infield as efficient On the defense as Cawley, Mahoney, Jones and Flynn. f THE PURPLE PATCHER 177 SEASON OF 191 1. Considering the unfavorable circumstances which have entered into our baseball season thus far, the showing 'of the team is indeed a creditable one. Owing to the loss of such men as Dowd, Foley, Sweeney and Flynn by graduation, the drafting of ex-Captain Mahoney to the Major Leagues and the absence of llurns, Coach Dyer was compelled to build up an entire new team about Third lflaseman Cawley and lfitcher Regan and Captain Kennedy, the only veter- ans on this year's nine. Thanks to some kind fate this year's Freshman class brought plenty of excellent baseball material, which has been thus far filling up the gaps in an admirable man- ner. Of the new men, joe', Kenny in the backstop department, Ostergren at first. Matthews in the field and Lynch in the box have given convincing evidence of their ability as natural ball players. Owing to injuries to Craig and O'l5wyer and the drafting of Mahoney about the iirst of May, the Holy Cross defense was badly crippled for quite awhile. The pitching department is really the vulnerable spot on .the team, Stev ei' Regan being the only reliable and experi- enced man we have, though Lynch has shown himself a capable twirler, but as yet he lacks ex- perience. Through the untiring eH'orts of Manager Mclffugh, we have a schedule which though not as long as in other years, yet is fully as st roug. The team opened up its season during the Easter holidays, taking a short trip down New York way. On this trip we were defeated by the strong lXflanhattan and Lafayette teams, but had an apparently easy time in defeating the St. john's boys. The home season was opened as usual on l'atriot's Day. Georgetown offering the opposition this year. Errors at critical stages by the Purple and inability to hit Fiene were the chief ingredients in the XVashington men's victory. Regan pitched a splendid game against the strong Vermont team, allowing them but one hit and this in the last stages of the game. On April 26 the team journeyed to Amherst. where Regan again proved himself master of the situation, letting his opponents down with but 'hve scattered hits. The Colby and Niagara games may be best characterized as batting fests in which the lloly Cross boys played the im- portant parts. Lynch was on the mound in the latter game and gave a good account of him- self allowing the New York men 'but one hit. A cold chilly day and erratic fielding on the part of the crippled llurple infield gave Yale her Erst victory over Us since 1906. Our poor defen- sive work was mainly- responsible for Lafayet te's second victory over us on May 4. VVith the big games still ahead and with the return of Craig to the line-up in addition to the lesson which experience has thus far taught the men, the outlook for a prosperous season is exceedingly promising at this date..

To the college athlete there is nothing, perhaps, in which he takes greater pride than the possession of what the college man calls letters, This is indeed no empty or transient hon- or, nor does its worth begin to depreeiate with its possession. To the athlete who cherishes the hope of possessing them one day it serves as a go al which can only be obtained by perseverance and dint of sacrilice and toil. To its possessor it is the reward of persistent eH'ort and the re- compense due to faithful work. Then too, it serves in but a small way not only as a recognition oi the possessor's ability and skill in one or more branches of athletics, but also as a sign of Alma Matcr's gratitude to one who labored for her glory and success.

CORDON THE PURPLE PATCHER 183 Efvnnia Our first year on Mt. St. James marked the dawn ofa new era for tennis at lloly Cross. just about this time tennis, which had been for many years prejudicially and slightingly re- garded as a mere girl's pastime was beginning to attain its proper position as an intellectual and physical development, not only at lloly Cross but throughout the college world. The con- struction of four beautiful courts in front of Alumni Hall in previous years, equipped with all modern appliances and the reorganization of the Tennis Association on a stabler basis coupled with the unprecedented interest and enthusiasm on the part of the student lovers of the game, all paved the way for the rapid advance of this branch of athletics from the background position which it had held at I-Ioly Cross since its introduction ou the Ilill of l'leasant Springs. During our four years on Packaehoag, tennis has come to be regarded as one of the most popular of games and naturally too, for it is an excellent mental 'and physical exercise as well as an exemplary and ideal test of endurance. The present day interest in the game was warranty enough to establish it on an intercollegiate basis. This year the management has com- pleted arrangements with the Amherst Aggie team for a game late in May to be played on the home courts. In our Sophomore year under an efficient management the interest in the game and the suc- cess of the season far surpassed all anticipations. ln the following year the participants of the game were so eager in their demand for what they termed getting all that is in the game and enthusiasm was so rife that it was found advisable to introduce prize tournaments. ln the Fall Tournament of this year, 1911 was ably championed by Jules Junker and Michael Donahue. The games were characterized by fast aggressive and brilliant playing and ended with the honors going to the 1911 team. The tournament in the following Spring was productive of equally as great en- thusiasm and of much closer contests. Our champions of the first tournament. were beset with ill luck from the outset in their games and were easily defeated, the first honors froine' tm tl Sophomore team composed of Paul Murphy and llercy llesnoes. ggtie ' The autumn of 1910 failed to discover the slightest abatement in the students' enthusiasm for the game. The Fall tournament was won by the 1911 team, composed of Messrs. Junkei and Donahue, after one of the most brilliant played matches seen for many a day on the courts, the Sophomore team olifering the greatest resistance to our championship aspirations. 1 N 1 'W 1 gy 1 fill!!! 1 X ' 1 I -!!'Jf ' X xl 1 A 1X H 1 - 1 X .

The former is a perpetual dweller in the present and always finds an occasion to give vent to its pent up enthusiasm. The latter, once the commencement days become an epoch in history, is more or less a creature of the memory and seeks to manifest itself only in the cherished recollections of happy days gone by. ffence it is that we devote these few pages to an account of the class's achieve- ments O11 the athletic field, so that the readers of these lines in days to come may conjure 1113 the happy past. Away back in the early days of the autumn of 1907, our class made its first bow on the stage of athletic contests. From that time on we have hovered in and about the center of the stage of inter-class athletics. XYe had just begun to get acquainted with each other in the early days of October in 1907 when the call for the football candidates was issued. Some twenty-five of the more llerculean build from our numbers answered the call. After a few weeks of hard and faithful practice under the able coaching of Steve O'Rourke and the capable leadership of Jack Lawlor, IQII began to pride herself on'her gridiron heroes. Our first opponents were the IQTO XN'arriors, and when the dust of battle had settled, the score-board registered an 11-o victory for our opponents, due to the grand work of the great Jacky llarry. ft was in this affray that Hill lfoldt received his first scar in the class's defense. Moreover, this was the game whose aftermath gave many of 11s our introduction to the fnfirmarian. Our next oppo- nents were the l'reps, and again we received the smaller end of a 5-0 score. XVe next turned to the world of basketball. llaving duly elected Duch as manager and Toot XVicldowson as cap- tain the team opened up its season. Our opponents during the winter days were the various class teams, with whom we alternated in sharing the victor's laurels. just to recompense the boys for their faithful work and to show his town's folks that he was some manager, HT.Jl1CllH took the team to Fitchburg on February 22IlCl, where a defeat was meted out to us after a most gruelling contest. Then came the season of the prince of games, and it was here that we truly showed our athletic prowess. Then Cap Reilly began to make himself famous. To his won- derful pitching ability, the VVagner stunts of Kiddo,' Smith and Chula Gillon, and the able lead-4 ership of Tommy Blake, are chiefly due our great success. The two victories of this year which we prized the most were the ones over l3il1 Connery's 1910 colts and Ma Murphy's IQO8 brigade. This briefly tells the story of our Freshman year. -'ll-my 1911 CLASS FOOTBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 187 In Sophomore year tl1e class absented itself from the athletic field to a great extent. The annexation of Varsity Martin. Iiruce Maloney, and ', l'om Keany to the varsity squad de- prived the class of some of its best football material a11d hence a class football team was out of tl1e question. Uur only endeavors during the year were on the diamond. where we continued to make ourselves famous. .lt was at this stage of the course that u.Ellll1lCtU Corrigan made l1is debut as a pitcher and was rou11ding out wonderfully well when that fatal slip of his 11ear third base sent him sliding to the spectators' bench to stay forever, During this season, Mike and Speedy began to loom up into prominence as baseball players, the former contributing some excellent back-stop work while the latter patroledi the gardens i11 true Speaker style. . Our junior year was in many respects a great one. Lack of football enthusiasm was the cause of our absence from tl1e gridiron. ln the fall inter-class meet we finished second with a total of 25 points, the class of 1913 carried off the praemia laudii' with a total of 41 points. llere some of our heretofore silent members suddenly appeared in the limelight of greatness. Our big point winners were 'Iim liitzgibbons' who won the 880 yard run and third place in tl1e mile event, Limp Foster who secured first a11d second places in the b1'oad and high jumps respectively, and Hill ,Duffy who carried off hrst honors in tl1e mile event and second honors in the half-mile run. It was at this meet that the occasion was offered Rugs Ray- mond. tl1e Samaritan, to sacrifice a certain place in the half-mile event to succor Harney l'louITe, who had fallen by the wayside i11 a desperate attempt to finish well up amongst the winners. In the cross-country runs held on November 5th and 19th. the class of IQII bore away all the prizes, Donahue, Duffy, McGlynn and jones being the place winners in both runs. On the tennis courts we again established our athletic prowess in the Fall 'l'ournament. XVC were represented by two able teams, Junker and Donahue forming the winning combination, while llearley and Smith were always a formidable pair. ' . 1911 CLASS BASKETBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER I89 The formation of an Inter-Class llasketball League during the winter months gave us still another opportunity to become famous. Though we finished third in the team standing, with an equal number of victories and defeats, yet our work in tl1e last half of the season was by far the best of series. The famous games of Feb. lQlll,' when we defeated the lQlO team by a score of I8-I6 after two extra sessions, and the one on March 2nd when we lowered the colors of the 1913 tean1 by a 3 to 2 score were the crucial and most exciting of the series. Great praise and comniendation for this season's work is due Capt. Keough, l.awlor and XfViddowson Zlllfl above all to Ed licnnctt wl1ose individual work was tl1e best a11d by far the s11perior to a11y seen o11 the gymnasium floor in many years. ln baseball we again proved ourselves capable of defending our rep11tatio11. lYe took tl1e series with the IQIO team, Vvllllllllg' tl1e first game by a 2-1 score, while the second was labelled ours by a 11-9 score. ln the first contest, Reilly's pitching, the fielding of Foster Zlllil lllake, coupled vvit-l1 lXlclfenna's batting were the lllillll causes of lQIG'S defeat. The latter contest was Dlayed on lfitton lfield Zlllkl it was here that Toot', lYiddowson disting11isl1ed himself with tl1e willow, poling out tl1e hit that tied tl1e score wl1en everything seemed to be against us. The last game is also memorable for tl1e llarry plays of illclaugh around third base. lYe also humbled Lefty l lartnett's 1913 crowd twice, Uurkin, McNally and Cilennon furnishing tl1e 'features of the series. NVe also crossed bats with Crotty's Day Scholars' nine who forced a 5-3 defeat on us, tl1a11ks to tl1e good work of lX'fonk a11d Cap Salmon. Then came the year of years-our Senior year. fn the autumn of 1910 we again entered tl1e ranks of football Zlllfl resumed inter-class football relations. Our first challenge was from tl1e .lunior class, wl1icl1 we rcadilv accepted. A few days of faithful a11d llZ1l'il practice rounded our ll'lCl'l into perfect shape for tl1e afl'1'ay. XVe entered tl1e arena on November 1st witl1 higl1 hopes a11d after 25 minutes of battle we left the field as victors with Zlll ll-O score in o11r favor. This game will always be a memorable one for the innumerable incidents associated with it. First of all tl1ere was Tom Keany's noble charge and 50 yard run wl1icl1 having been made possible by tl1e battering ram work of Maloney paved the way to victory. THE REGULARS THE PURPLE PATCHER 19i The11 too there were tl1e Heet hlcKenna's e11d runs which aided materially i11 our victory, Keouglfs pugilistic offering i11 tl1e defense of fair play a11d lloldt's hard tackling wl1icl1 was the undoing of our O1J1JOI1C11tiS offensive tactics. lt was also at this memorable game that johnny Molloy WO11 l1is numerals substituting ill tl1e last few seconds of play. Refusing to impair tl1e SlI'Cl'lgfl1 of our team at the bidding of the Freshmen, negotiations for a game with tl1e IQI4 team were called off by tl1e lfreshnian manager and l1e11ce according to custom Zlllll 1Jl'CCCtlClll we were vested with the title of class champions. ln the fall inter-class track meet, OX'Vl1lQ' to tl1e small 11u111ber of entries f1'OIll tl1e class we finished last with IO 1'JOllll5 to our credit. Our chief point winner in tl1e meet was Limp Foster wl1o carried off tl1e prizes for second honors in both the l1igl1 and broad jumps. fn tl1e weight events Zybsk Sullivan established his claim to tl1e title of strong man. On the tennis courts i11 tl1e Fall Tournament we were again victors. 'lunker Zlllfl Donahue championing tl1e class's title against all comers. Owing to tl1e success ofthe i11ter- class basketball series in the previous year, it was again resumed this year. Jack'l Curtin was elected manager of tl1e team while Ed Bennett was honored with tl1e captaincy. lniportant exams and class work prevented tl1e team from practicing a11d of course tl1e inevitable result followed. Though we linished next to tl1e last in the series with two victories and live defeats. still our playi11g, considering all tl1e circumstances of Olll' case, was highly commendable. As i11 the year previous it fell to our lot to be one of the contestants i11 tl1e best played and n1ost ex- citing game of the series, viz: tl1e Senior-Fresl11na11 game of Feb. 18th i11 which we administered a 16-I3 defeat to tl1e pennant aspirants. During this season tl1e clever defensive work of Gil- lon a11d D. Sullivan, tl1e fast floor work of Sul livan, the steady a11d consistent ga111es of Keough and Jones and the brilliant all around playing of llennett will always live ZIIICW within the hook a11d volume of our brains. The exceptionally ii 11e work of Charlie Ranney and the dogged tenacity of Jack Martin i11 these games are also deserving of special me11tion and praise. Tl1e baseball season again found us equal to tl1e task of Illllllllilllllllg' our reputation. Thisiwas the year Wlltfll Maloney's hY3.llIllg2lllSU came i11to pron1ine11ce by defeating tl1e regulars by a score of 8-2.

OUR FRESHMAN BANQUET THE PURPLE PATCHER: 197 IHHY-Ifanquvtn-p1H11 The stomach craves foodg the soul, contentment. The banquets, therefore, with which we punetuate each year of our life on the 1lill of Pleasant Springs are fitting means to an agree- able end. On these festive occasions the boards are riotously heaped with tempting dishes and the wine, and only the wine of good fellowship, flows in steady stream. That empty feeling gives way to a satisfying snugness and the wrinkles on the face of care banish in a twinkling. Fellow meets fellow and professor meets pupil apart from the sober sombreness of the class- room and its environs in an attitude of innocent abandonment. The grip of hand upon hand and heart upon heart becomes firmer and the bonds, which join faithful sons to Alma Mater, are tightened. The joys of these exercises are further aggravated by the presence of such genial guests from the alumni as Hon. john T. Duggan, Dr. Michael F. Fallon and Hon. john F. lXlcGrath. These old boys in their own happy way always enter into the spirit of the affair and contribute largely to the general entertaimnent. Indeed, the atmosphere of such festivities despite the odor of the not-always'-the-best-cigars is most fragrant. XVe breathe it deep within us and the scent hangs 'round the memory like the perfume of roses, 'round some fragile vase. Oh, such a happy night as Banquet Night is always unusually short and the sudden breaking up is the only discord in the harmony of a delightful evening, a discord which not even the din of a holiday on the morning after can drown. Time, Time, I prithee, turn in flight, I yearn to live a yesternight. THE PURPLE PATCHER FRESHMAN CLASS DINNER Bay State House, December 19, 1907. Speakers Class of IQII .... .............. ....

The object of these meetings was to elect a class president and, after much stormy discussion and one or two errors in selection, we linally chose Limp Foster to act as pilot of the good ship UIQILH That the selection was a good one goes without saying. immediately the rullled waters were smoothed, and all was harmony and con- tentment. NVl1ile speaking of class elections, we must not forget' the vigorous campaign waged by Okie O'lJonnell for the position of class treasurer. So well did he carry on his light that his election was unanimous and the whole class temporarily relinquished the makin's in favor of cigars as a consequence. Once we settled down to real hard work the time passed quickly enough and suddenly the football season had passed: we had made our debut as a class on lloly Cross Nightg had lis- tened to jack Driscoll's famous speech at the banquet and were on our way home for the Christmas vacation. i The holidays were scarcely over and we had not yet finished telling one another of the wondrous things that happened in my town while was home, when the bugbear of all col- lege students, but especially Freshmen, the mid- year exams, was upon us. XVe took our medicine without a murmur, however, and, when the averages were linally computed, it was discovered that our pocketbooks had been but slightly depleted. And then came Spring! Glorious Spring! The season of baseball, holidays and hook-worms! XVho will forget the Spring of our Freshmen year? XYe do not wish to be looked upon as Hlaud- ator temporis acti, but we cannot help feeling that those glorious days, when no thought of a linal oral harrassed our tired brains, when, ind eed. we were not sure nor did we care whether Philosophy was a science or only a breakfast food, shall always be reckoned among the hap- piest we have ever known. THE PURPLE PATCHER 201 OUR SOPHOMORE DAYS With ranks but slightly decimated, we returned for Sophomore brimful of confidence in our ability to eat things up. VVe were speedily assigned to class and some of us, to our utter consternation, discovered that, good patriots though we were, we henceforth owed allegiance to a king. This mighty monarch, however, proved to be such an altogether likeable individual that most of us were mighty glad we had not been placed under the rule of a more demo- cratic leader. XVithin the narrow confines of his castle, aided and abetted by tl1e ubiquitous court jester, he helped us while away many a weary hour with his merry and impromptu bat- tles of wit with his clown. Our joy at being united once again was somewhat marred, however, when we discovered that the dean of the class, Doc Duggan, was no longer one of us. llut although we deeply mourned the loss of Doc, who had betaken himself, his T. D. pipe, and his wondrous tales of things that used to wasn to the local branch of the S. Q. R., yet we were somewhat reconciled to our grief when we discovered that the tide of fate had washed up upon our shores an able successor to the esteemed Doc in the person of one XV. Francis Blclienna. The yarns with which thislbrilliant, though somewhat eccentric genius, regaled us, and the earnestness with which he testified to their absolute veracity, would cause the blush of shame to mount to the bovine cheek of the animal who produced them. XfVith the mid-years hovering in the distance, hard work soon became the order of the day, with nothing to relieve the awful grind save the usual nightly batting bees and an occasional recitation by jack Phelan. And when those same mid-years did come around, we were not found wanting but routed the all-conquering army of examiners with many a well-worded reply while their intellectual darts reached but few of us so that the vvails of the plucked were few and far between. 'l'he mid-years past, Spring was with us again and with it came two of the most interesting events of our Sophomore year. The hrst was that thrilling no-hitt?j extra inning game, in which 'l'ommy Corrigan pitched his Mishts to victory over the regulars, while the other was a dramatic little playlct entitled Never come through a window at 2 A. M. which was presented with great success for one night onlyi' by lid .llennett and Mike lloulihan. Ilut, ,ere we knew it, our Sophomore year had passed and the curtain fell on the second act of our drama of college life. 202 THE PURPLE PATCHER OUR JUNIOR HOURS XVith all tied more tightly than ever to the apron strings of Alma Mater, we began our third year of hard labor on the hill. Hard, however, is scarcely fair to the labor. The sledges of some intellects, it's true, shattered the rocks of Philosophy, but the sledges of more simply chipped the sides. That day on which llud became the hero of the hour by being bold enough to give a repetition-even if it was only to define essence as something found in cologne--our friend, Father Renaud, became so bewildered that he afterward lectured one full minute without saying jam vero.' Our biggest efforts were launched on lab. work in Analytical Chemistry. The laboratory was I-ladesg the unknowns, the devils who tormented Killjoy, Willow and the rest of us. 1-lunker and jake were our saviours and seemed to be the only ones with the right dope llut worry was in wrong at our house. XVC were followers of liilliken, the idol of college men' and college widows, and made our prayer for 60 at the shrine of the squinting god of laugh- ter. Many did more praying than studyingg others did less praying and less studying. The time, indeed, that Varsity and Keegan devoted to everything but Latin and Greek often caused both of them to say half joyously, half frightenedly if mother could only see me now. Varsity, Jake, Dr, Watson and Gobbo began to dance their way into the public eye via some dainty feet. Such society chimes as Chula, Pretty, Shaggy, Little Mac, Duch, Bugs Raymond, Charlie and the Kid from Youngstown, which had been play- ing I'd like to know your address and your nameu in the south, now began to give concerts in the west. The lives of the day scholars were open books, but many of the pages were stuck togetherg jiggy, however, was once caught sneaking something over. Oh! VVC must not forget the excursions of Limp, Toot and Ca pt. jack into the fields of pleasure and the smell of clover which they brought back with them. About this time the King introduced a new sport known as indoor hunting. VVC were rab- bits, who roamed forth from our burrows with a clap of thunder which awakened his majesty. Then the chase began. 1-le was particularly thirsty for blood that memorable night on which he kept weary patrol outside of room -, boun d to bag Mon and Tommy on their return to the burrow. The little innocents, however, eluded his vigilance and were having a joy ride to New York on the auto of a dream when the King peered within. The next moment our two comedians made a midnight march to the dormitory in a dress uniform consisting of bath robes, pajamas, slippers and derbies. Our junior hour, indeed, was a large slice of happiness which was eaten in a .swallow and tasted like more. THE PURPLE PATCHER 203 OUR SENIOR SECOND. Our well-meaning forebears had pictured Senior to us as a difficult passage over a stormy sea. The varnish of dignity had, therefore, scarcely dried upon us when, remembering their words, a few others besides Killjoy,' peered in to the future through the telescope of imagina- tion and beheld countless shipwrecks. The breaking up of the Corrigan-Raymond duo, which had so delightfully amused us during junior, added another width to the crape on our sleeves. Such things, however, were not the true Simon Lagrces they seemed. Our wounds were really superficial and were soon healed by the salve of an angelic doctor. The seeds, which had been planted in the soil of society in NfVOl'CCStCl',S garden, began to sprout. McKenna, Boldt, Keough and McGly nn had a beautiful Howering and were religiously watched by loving eyes and carefully tended by loving hands XViddowson, Cap Lawlor, Mc- Caffrey, Crotty, Ranney, etc., continued to be Sir XValter Raleighs. Cap', Reilly was to be given a tryout in the league of society, but he wouldn't wear the suit he bought in Leominster and, as a result, Coach Maloney wouldn't give him a show. Class politics, in the meantime, were not neglected. Karl Marx Cobb started an insurgency which was, at once, interesting and diverting. He did not believe in authority and the little wrangles which consequently arose between the M, P. from Clinton and the Stand l'atters were perfectly harmless and quite as amusing as a bit of rag-time at a sacred concert. Ty's sudden awakening was attributed by many to the departure of Teddy who, developing a taste for his father's business. had left, causing our friend from Clinton to seek opposition in other quarters besides Curly's reading-room. The year was also enlivened by the frequent interruptions of the meetings of the Card lloard Syndicate, the nomadic wanderings of H nuker from one building to another, Jiggy's', dog, the doing of Durkin by his pal from Princeton, and 'fVarsity's,' dancing team. NVe, indeed, would have gladly clipped the wings of time, but we knew not how. The knowl- edge that the final oral was upon us and the associations, which had grown dearer with the years, were about to be broken, eclipsed our joys and the single ray of light in the darkness was the hope that our paths would never quite divide.
