' This trophy, a presentation by the editors and staff of the MAROON QUILL, is a repre- sentation of the interest of the School of Busi- ness students in the Universityis athletic program. In the past two years, Fordham and Ed Conlin had dominated both the game and the Trophy. This year's contest had a different ending. Having not yet reached their peak, the Rams were no match for the bigger and more experienced Violets. N.Y.U. capitalized again and again on Fordham mistakes. - I When the ballots were counted, the Work- ing. press had unanimously. elected Jimmy Nidds of N.Y.U. as the outstanding player and winner of the MAROON QUILL Trophy.

Back Row Thomas Mangan Edward DeCroat William Fay Iohn Brady Jerry Corczyca This year's edition of the Fordham Freshman Basketball team has followed in the footsteps of great Bam teams of the past. Under the capable tutelage of their fine coach, Dan Binaldo, the squad was moulded into a smooth working unit early in the year and went on to a highly successful season. Led by a trio of young stars, the little Rams swept through the first three- quarters of their schedule in a most impressive manner. They suffered only two setbacks at the hands of Seton Hall and Saint John's ffinal score, 71-70 in a Uiple overtimej. The frosh held important victories over such reputable quintets as Army, Manhattan, Fairleigh Dickinson and Adelphi. The three big men, who were mostly responsible for these victories, were John Gallagher, Ed DeGroat, and John Brady. Due to an injury, however, Brady, top man for the frosh five with an average of 24 points per game, was forced to sit out the last portion of the season. This fact, coupled with the loss of john Gallagher, was a tremendous blow to Rinaldois forces and as a result, left most of the burden onthe shoulders of Ed DeGroat. Nevertheless, the team managed to rally and finish out the season in fine fashion, adding victories over N.Y.U., Columbia, and C.C.N.Y. Looking at the overall record of the club and the list of impressive players it possessed, one can clearly see how it will add much to next year's varsity. This year's team will have left behind it a mark to be aimed at by the frosh team of the future.
