The team was determined to do all in its power to attain the coveted championship of the league, which, to this date, had never been attained by Fordham. This year found Fordham mainly comprised of an all veteran team. Re- turning from last year's squad were Tom Meenan, Chuck Santare, Ioe LaBocco, Bob Lekich and Art Upton. Adding to the power of the team were three newcomers in the person of Johnny McCormack and Sol Stern, who carried 180 averages, and Tom Wogan, who averages 170. The first week in October saw Fordham open the season against fifteen other leading college teams. Supposedly a weak sister, Fordham, in the first two months of competition, struck with its power and quickly became the dark horse team of the league by consistently challenging for first place. F airleigh Dickinson, the defending champions, and the rest of the league be- gan to respect and fear Fordham. Backed by great school interest in the team along with the consistent good bowling of Tom Meenan, Iohnny McCormack, Chuck Santare and Art Upton, the Barns gained much needed confidence in themselves and started What form. 262 to function like a championship team. About the middle of February, however, it became evident that Farleigh Dickinson, who had led the league the entire season followed by Fordham and Manhattan, was going to be too powerful to unseat from the cham- pions' throne. With this fact staring us in the face, the Rams decided to make sure they held on to the second rung. Second place is as high as Fordham has ever finished and it's been several years since that was last achieved. For the current team it represents a jump from tenth last year to second this year, which is a sizeable gain in any man's league. 1 Pause that refreshes. 11' Sw v' ' K .n:

Led by Captain Iohn Poster, a School of Business senior, the Rams bowed only to Army, Columbia and Yale. Poster capped a fine collegiate career by being named Most Valuable Player last year. This year's Captain is Patrick Cubitose. Having been hit hard by graduation, the team's pros- pects are just fair. Besides the strong metropolitan teams, the big obstacles to a good season are the Kaydets from West Point, St. Ioseplfs and Yale. Coach Tom Hammonds expects strong efforts from Ken MacDonald and Bob Coleman to back the play of Captain Cubitose. Top play is also expected from Al Cummings, a talented School of Business soph, who starred on the Maroon Squash team as well. A bright future is expected for the netmen through the development of the fine freshmen talent. Danny Burke and Alfredo Fran- gul, both Dealy Hall representatives, along with Bill McColdrick and Lawrence Brown are the up and coming Fordham stars.

The Sailing Association this year was composed of seniors and sophomores and after completing a successful season, has high hopes for the future. The Varsity placed second in the Greater New York Championship besting such schools as Columbia, Hofstra, and the New York Mari- time College while the Freshmen placed third. Both Maroon squads won the right to go to the Middle Atlantic Championships at Annapo- lis for the first time in the history of the club. The Varsity also won back the trophy from the New York Maritime College in the annual team race between the two clubs. With the strong support of the Club by the undergraduates, Ford- ham has come into its own in the intercollegiate sailing world. With a strong Freshman team coming up to varsity status next year, the out- look for the sailors future is very bright. Ioe Sullivan capably took over the helm of the Club from Frank Schmitt, the Past Commodore, and was assisted by jerry Thornton, Vice Commodore. Captain Kids. 11 ,. -'sr AMW'
