For the tirst time since 1Q51 Fordham scored victories over Manhat- tan, New Yorlc University and the College ol the City of New Yorlc. It is upon this record that the Rams stand S S tied with Long lsland University lor the mythical Metropolitan Cham- pionship. Great credit is due Coach Vinny Cavanaugh and his charges in displaying the true Fordham spir- it ol lighting luaclc in the lace ol ad- versity and coming on to triumph. Taliing a chapter from the gridiron record the Rams presented an almost impregnalnle defense. New Yorlc University and City College could malce no more than one field goal in the first hall. City College, a tradi- tionally strong team shot only tour field laaslcets during the entire game. Not only the court men malce a remarlcahle record ot games won lxut, as Father Gannon so aptly ex- pressed it, they had a certain court CAPTAIN CREIGHTON DRURY personality ol which Fordham can justly he proud. lvlajor letters were awarded to Captain Creighton Drury.

Tbey enjoy tbe admiration of tbe grandstand crowds. Tbey are minor beroes of a sort in tbeir scbool circles. Tbey may liope for tbe appreciation of tlleir efforts by tbose Wbo cboose tlie members ol? mytbical teams lilce tlle All- America or tbe All-East. But of a squad of fifty bard worlcing young men only a Pierce or a Franco or a Vvojciecbowicz joins sucb select company. Obviously enougb tbe members of a football squad will long go bungry if tbey are loolcing for tangible returns. But tlle spirit of coopera- tion wbicb tbey learn from playing for tlle good of tbe team, tbe sense of sportsmansbip bred in tllem by talcing losses as Well as victories witb good beart, tbese are tlle reasons for university sanction of sports of any lcind. Fordbam University bas lionored a great team. We congratulate tbe recipients of major football awards.

Manager from last year,s squad. Veteran pitchers and catchers are to he found in ahundance. Johnny Barris, the slugging pitcher, George Rohinson the iasthaller, Al Gurslce, and Art Sattler, the side-Winder, all report themselves tit for heavy duty again this year. Capt. Andy Palau, the sometime quarterhaclc, is expected to handle most of the catching assignments. The race for infield and outfield positions however, is a very open affair, and Coffey will he taxed to the utmost to replace Bahe Young, Gene Coyle, Tony De Phillips, Bill Ladroga, and Bohloy Reinacher. ln .Iohnny Druze, Franl: Mooney, lVIilce Hearn and Meade Coyle, first- hase, shortstop and centerfield positions will find protection. But there is further trouhle than filling fieldersl gaps. The main difficulty is in the fact that the fair hall area of the Ram diamond on which most of the contests will he played is three hundred and seventy-five feet away from home plate. Qloviously it will talce plenty of powdering of that horsehide to lceep Fordham out in front, and just as oloviously unless Coffey turns what were scratch hitters into Sluggers, there will not he much hope hehind the desire for an undefeated season that springs eternal in the hearts of the teanfs followers ahout the time that the first green sprig pushes its way upward to the open air. If the hitters come, the future loolcs hright, it not, we still lilce the idea of .laclc Coffey loe- coming adept at legerdemain. ll llll F Q .
