FOOTBALL • 48 Sweat-soaked uniforms were the order of the day, and our five-week training period seemed unduly long, but it paid dividends when we trounced CCNY, 25-0 Our light and inexperienced backfield was a standout. Came Highlight: Little John Jungen, our tackle, intercepting a pass and going over for a touchdown. We looked good — fast backfield, tight line — but Hopkins ' winged T proved too formidable and we were d efeated, 28-0. Came Highlight: Two backfield injuries and a battered line Practice was light the following week We knew we could beat Peeks- kill Military Academy, and we did, 6-0. Came Highlight: a terrific struggle by an outclassed Peekskill team, previously undefeated ' Against Newark Academy we played the hardest and most spirited game of the season. Sure they won, 19-6, but only after we showed unbelievable fight and drive. Came Highlight : We should have won ! ! We ran all over Eastern Military Academy, 27-0, under an untimely downpour which kept the score modestly proportioned. Came Highlight: Victory never tasted more sweet. So we won 3, lost 2. More important, next year ' s squad looks just as good, if not better. Co to it, boys!!

CHEERLEADERS AND TWIRLERS Part of every campus athletic program are the spirited individuals found on this page. With whoops and whirls they tumbled and twirled Concordia ' s cheering masses to fits of frenzy through another season of football and basketball. Joan Ninesling and Peggy Freed captained the vociferous group, while Evelyn Wilde and Lois Berensman directed the short-skirted gymnasts. Though not an official segment of the cheering squad, Ish Cezinte is by tradition Concordian. So is its leading exponent, Dinky Dietz. Be- tween halves something was bound to happen — and usually did. With nothing but a wrestling mat, a trumpet, and a few buckets he and his motley crew managed to contort themselves in a manner that became the highlight of half-time asininity. Always it ended the same. What Concordian can ever forget it ? Ish Cezinte! Ish Cezinte! Yom Kippur gefillte fish! Oikel Schmoikel, Oikel Schmoikel, you done veil ! It gives by us a good substantial yell — Oiiin 1 i 1 47 •

BASKETBALL -COLLEGE December 4, and gold satin pants and royal blue jerseys swarmed onto the floor — Concordia ' s mighty he roes ' Not only new uniforms but also a new junior college conference greeted the ' 48- ' 49 season. The basketeers looked good; fast, cunning, alert They bounced back from a defeat by N Y Cathedral to trounce White Plains and Webb Naval; the 50-45 victory over the L. I. Aggies gained us first place. Victories came when they counted. Captain Max Kaminska and the illustrious Mr. Moltzan, Concordia ' s record breaker, led the new, spirited team to its victories. But there was a trio of corking good rookies on the floor too; Andy Weyerman, Herbie Muhl, and Stew Lambie Bob Zinn, who must have been born with a basket- ball in one hand and a text-book in the other, joined the team in the second semester. William Puder, the team ' s manager, deserves a lot of credit for a good job. Coach Vince Olson had himself a sideline booster during the season — 2.00 eligibility. Now you ' ve got the stuff for next year; let ' s see you beat the ' 48- ' 49 record! 49
