TRACK A powerful one and two mile relay team were the foundation pillars of strength forthe i959 edition of Coach Artie O'Conner's track team. The mile relay which took a first place in the Millrose Meet consisted of: Bob Furphy and Kip Jones, both sophomores who alter- nated the difficult lead off leg, Paul Bopko, co-captain of the team who has been running consistently good times for the quarter during the last three yearsg Brian Condon, a junior powerhouse, who has run the 440 in 47 seconds, and Tom Brennan, the other co- captain who alternated during the year between the quarter and half mile. While running 47.5 for the quarter he has also hit in the low l.56's for the half. The two mile relay having been ridden with injuries during most of the season, neverthe- less, has come up with some real good races. John Machleil, one of the chief mainstays of the team, handled the lead off leg without any difficultyf Jim McMahon, a sophomore in the School of Business, gave the team a consistent l 257 leg. The rest of the team consisted of: Tom Kearns, a junior who although injured during the indoor season, nevertheless has run well in both the 880 and the mileg Don Luisi, the junior flash, who has run the mile in 4:l5, and Wally Cooper, another junior sen- sation, whose two mile time equals the best in the East.

With a particularly tough schedule, and the loss ot their two top men by way ot graduation last year, the Ram Mariners knew the seas would be rough. However, the returning letter- men and some newly added talent duplicated the efforts of the '58 squad or went on to even greater victory. Varsity returnees 'lCommodore Al Hotz, and Ed Hill were led by Ken Schattner and Larry Martin to many impressive victories over St, Joe's, Penn, Fort Schuyler, Webb, and others. Schattner tor the second straight time won the eliminations to compete in the single handed Monotype Championships. individual honors go to Jay Fitzgerald who set a new Fordham record for the most points scored in a single meet-a total of l lO in the War Memorial Regatta.
