Led by Co-Captains Ron Bernasconi and Ray Pohl, the Fordham University Rifle team sought to retain its Metropolitan Intercollegiate Rifle League crown, a title which they have held for the last three years. The team competed against the finest opposition available and upheld the fine record set by the squad during the last two years, when they lost only one match. The sharpshooters also fared well in the various matches in which they were entered, Last year they placed fifth in the National Matches, beating out both West Point and the Naval Academy. They also excell- ed in the St. John's Invitational Tournament. Besides the co-captains there are six other men on the roster: Frank Mellana, Pete Hardy, Charlie Smith, Carl Szuter, Don Moore and Joe Pianpiano. The team is coached by Sgt. John Blake and the moderator is Captain George D. Jackson. Rifle Teal!! lt's the form that counts.

After several disappointing seasons, Coach Lyttle's rebuilding program has finally begun to take effect. With the return of seven lettermen and the addition of several outstanding performers from last year's freshman team the outlook was decidedly better. ' Leading the returning lettermen is Captain Dave Reilly of Dealy Hall who specializes in the breast- stroke and butterfly events in intercollegiate competi- tion. Dave has a record of many victories in the Metro- pol-itan area. One of his outstanding feats was the winning of the half mile ocean swim, quarter mile and 400 yard free-style trophies in the Rockaway AQA. meet all in one day. Also returning this year were Harold Madigan, a capable diver, and Paul Hunter and Dick Andrews, proven dash men. John O'Neil and Bucky McShane handle the distance competition in championship fashion. George Sattethwaite handled the breaststroke. To bolster this year's squad, several outstanding men have joined the varsity from last year's freshman team. They include free-stylers Caesar Cirigliano and Mike Shea and backstroker Jack Hayman. This year's schedule included such 'Eastern powers as Rutgers, Lehigh and Syracuse. The mermen also oppose the stronger teams in the Metropolitan area such as N.Y. U., Columbia, Manhattan and Kings Point. Although the rugged schedule lacks nothing in regard to strong competition, Coach Lyttle and Cap- tain Reilly know that this year they have the power to bring the team record above the .500 mark for the first time in three years. Handling the managerial duties for this year's team are Al Lang and Charlie Van Zutphen, both of the School of Business. 1 Last minute instructions. winirnin 239
