Haverford College - Record Yearbook (Haverford, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1940 volume:

THE RECORD NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY THE ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE SENIOR CLASS HAVERFORD COLLEGE HAVERFORD, PENNSYLVANIA WILLIAM WISTAR COMFORT President igi 7-1940 PRESIDENT COMFORT is not, to the men in College, a glorious scholastic career or author of many well-known books. He is, in the most respectful sense possible, not even Dr. W. W. Comfort. He is Uncle Billy. He cannot be, to the average undergraduate, a figure who makes speeches at banquets and holds honorary degrees. He is the old gentle- man who comes up the walk from his house on Tuesdays and Fridays to sit in the middle chair on the platform at Collection. And it isn ' t until the undergraduate realizes that he won ' t always be in that chair that it occurs to him how much he belongs there. He is the man who sits on the extreme right of the rear bench at Meeting, and who has bewildered generations of Haverfordians by his uncanny (and apparently intuitive) feeling for 12:15 p.m. He is also the man who occasionally stands up and tells them things about themselves, which they may or may not like to hear, but which are always true. He is a very wise old gentleman who can, with equal facility, trace a word to its Sanscrit root and a piece of undergraduate mischief to its proper room in Barclay. He is the man who knows the priceless wisdom of not interfering. He will tell you that you ' re about to make a mistake — and not insist on his rights when you go ahead and make it anyhow. He has done all these things and said all these things and, perhaps, by themselves they do not seem especially important. But they are, nonetheless, indicative of greater and vastly more important things. They show patience and tolerance and wisdom, and sense of justice tempered by a keen sense of humor. To this very fine and very witty and very true gentleman, we dedicate this Record. {From an Editorial in the Haverford News 6y V. D. Haisey) MERION EW O RD TO depict the halcyon undergraduate days of the much-maligned, sadly diminished Class of 1940 with their work, play and friendships is the purpose of this volume. Although our collective Life has come to a close, this work is not an epitaph, for our individual lives are just commencing, enhanced and modified by our four years together. It is rather a history, accurate if incomplete, truthful and not eulogistic. If this tome is occasionally taken down from fifty-five scattered and musty book shelves, our efforts will not have been in vain. LLOYD I.Personae — faculty, to dojustice to the memory of whom, with proper appreciation and criticism appendixed by agreement and defense on their part, would req uire volumes; seniors, the heterogeneous band of surviviors and companions of the four-year life, seen for the last time in the goldfish-swallowing role ; other classes, to whom we bequeath our undergraduate rights and obligations. . Activities — those more or less organized groups composed of highly individualistic persons united in common enterprises. . Athletics — teams who campaigned for Haverford with spirit and honor if not always with scoring suc- cess. IV. Features — photographic snatches of campus activity indicat- ing the inner life of Haverford undergraduates. ? jyGJP r --!

With a deft- ness and a precision that would have clone credit to a surgeon, they operated on the academic sore spots, reducing the patient from seventy-four to forty-seven pounds. The patient sighed and though sadder, resolved to be wiser. The faculty, however, nursed the dispirited anemic along and injected new blood until by senior year, on the eve of departure from the sanatorium a formerly jaundiced eye turned with pleasure and appreciation upon the doctor. Forgive us premature reminiscences, but though we may at future reunion chuckle over the Baron ' s malversation and peculation were rife. ' certain authori- tative figures on the population in the state of Nevada, Fetter ' s Philanthropy for widows and the orphans, a famous profile, and a punster who ranked with the best, we know that our appreciation of their sincere efforts will deepen with the years e honestly hope to compliment the doctor by fulfilling his greatest expectations. 11 FACULTY William Wistar Comfori A.B., A.M Ph.D., I Ml 1) LI D President H.

Connie ' s a man of few words, with the possible exception of droll stories accompanied by pre-denouement laughter We understand he saw Mr. Smith Goes to Washington three times just to be sure he knew the Rules of Order for Association meetings. Still, being President of the Council is no easy job at best, and he did one worthy of anyone carrying a portfolio out of Washington. One of our foremost, but still most human, celibates, his philosophy has no niche for the fair sex . . . never taking the place of baseball. His time is divided up between French novels (purely for his major field), movies, and soccer, captaining this year ' s club sadly w eakened by the loss of practically all of the championship combination of ' 39. We can ' t help regretting that he isolated himself over in Founders of all places, and Senior year, too.

The Field Book ol Aliens, Hon to Identify Them. Once you have George firmly in hand you can gaze at his multi-colored plumage At first glance he might be confused with the Paoli Local or day-student variety, but upon closer in- spection he proves to be a bird of many parts. Word has reached us that his lin- guistic endeavors have made him a real live authority on Pennsylvania Dutch Nor does he confine his activities to the up-state jargon, for he ' s not above dabbling in esoteric goings-on of an occasional classical symposium. The cricket bat, the J A . football struggle, and the Bryn Mawr dolly have all swum into George ' s ken He handles a mean jest, and w hat his sense of the ludicrous did to that public speaking course made him the idol of a large group of elocution haters. 15 SI -NS1 riVE, sh . retiring, introvert, teetotaler, all these he was not, for He was a Man — in every sense of the word. Junior year he indulged in a three-corner trade — The Pines. University of Delaware, and Princeton, with stopoffs at Haver- ford It all ended w ith a hangover from Yale — hut we ' re still a-feudin Lucius Beebe, Boulavardier, Aesthete, and gentleman wrestler. He never had time lor troubles nor inhibitions. Senior year, author of a scintillating crow ' s-nest ri- cocheted with double talk, main-line potshots, and 1-q-r advts. Always has had a penchant for sheepskins, T. S. Eliot, and the irium room of the Hotel Pepsodent. Gallic Cadavre, Fireball !

Flllerton Avenue Montclair, New Jersey Montclair High School English major THE Ford ' s roly-poly signal caller, diminutive Dick makes gridiron Gullivers look foolish. Best play of last season was at Susquehanna when he picked up an apparently dead pigskin and rolled off sixty-five yards to pay dirt (or was it seventy, Dick ?). He ' s essentially a key man in Haverford lineups whether its on the wooden way or the hassocked diamond where he leads this year ' s club and catches . . . they say he pitches some, too. He ' s good . . . just ask him In an offhanded manner Dick will tell you he majored in Astronomy because the universe fascinates him, but we suspect the laboratory as an ulterior motive. As if that weren ' t enough. The Boss and his group of satellites leased the Pent House and imparted to that lost horizon on Railroad Avenue a tradition that will go down in history Dick ' ll probably settle down and coach; he ' ll swear the next one will be a boy and a darned good halfback. 16 CHESTER I l ' l I BA!

Sitting at the gay international table, he can be seen at mealtimes talking and gesticulating with an inexhaustible energy unknown to most of us occidentals. Endowed with an insatiable curiosity. Frank has been known to embarrass with his questions even such redoubtable funds of information as Pro- fessors Fetter and Lunt Something of a thinker and poet, this diminutive China- man whiles away his few inactive moments penning oriental platitudes in native characters. Confucius say . . . We are still wondering at Frank ' s rapid Americanization. Almost as soon as he entered these fair portals Junior year he was slapping us on the back, swearing beau- tifully, and even complaining about the food. In one respect, however, he is faith- ful to the well established traditions of his native land — he has the laundry agency.

But Senior year the niche concept was expanded to include the doubtful intellectual horizons of that small girls ' annex to I laverford College, as a Philadelphia paper so boldly put it in the 70 ' s. Art and the New Deal are the Bell Telephone Company ' s worst enemies The local Bryn Mawr-Haverford exchanges reported the wires burnt out by one session ol platonic passion lasting five and a quarter hours. His Senior year, w ith admirable display of mind over matter in the Quaker tra- dition, our hero sublimated the lighter instincts, and turned the distaff side ' s in- lluenee to a more practical pattern Art bought himself a weaving machine and whiling away the tedium between telephone calls, he built himself a tidy little busi- ness in mittens, socks, and scarfs I [oover w anted to hire him for Finnish Relief but finally decided in favor of big business. 19 IMPERTURBABLE Quake scudded through South Barclay ' s utterly chaotic frosh and soph years to remain chief mourner for its now scattered horde As ardent proponent of the abortive, early defunct, Edgar Rice Burroughs Club. Emer aroused the dilettante interest of Haverford ' s lounge lizards in his beloved Jersey Pines, encouraged their morbid interest in its inbred inhabitants, and caused them to spend a post-Junior Prom week-end in its remotest parts. Philatelist supreme, genealogical dabbler, connoisseur of South Jersey topog- raphs fervid co-educationalist, embryonic Havelock Ellis and irrational advocate of the more manly life, Quake was ever a force majeur for stability in most un- stable Second and Ninth Entries. Nevertheless, 3 a.m. usually found Emer in full- dressed sleep on the couch, seeking momentary relief from a stormy all night cram- session while habitually harassed friends ranted about the injustice of term papers, the indigesribility of Wilmer ' s crepes suzett, 400 more pages of government, and Saturday night DAVID BAIRD COURSIN lt 08 Lawndale Avenue McKeesport, Pennsylvania McKeesport High School Chemistry major THESE last two years we ' ve never been quite sure whether Scott haunts the col- lege, or the college haunts Scott In fact we went up to his room one afternoon just to prove to ourselves that he really isn ' t a Si Crounse myth after all.

He finally consolidated his anomalous position as social liaison officer between Haverford and Bryn Mawr by acting as co-partner of deb-chaser Baum in an ill- fated date bureau. Amateur Arthur Murray at Charity Ball or the Greek ' s, Ace ' s bridge was even more impeccable than his dancing His ability to read 300 pages of International Relations in four hours gave him ample time to muse over sophomoric forays in the Tenderloin and tell very skeptical classmates lurid tales of his summers with the gashouse gang and the gobs of a Great Lakes freighter And this in a smoke-filled room in Lloyd where the radio played incessantly and bridge went on eternally.

Kit thanks to a tough hide and a good nature, our hero ' s spirit remained unbroken. Dune ' s impressive annotated volume of feminine addresses has always been viewed somewhat skeptically, but when the stocky Kentucky mountaineer began to date some of Philadelphia ' s leading fillies, we all began to sit up and take notice. How he does it is st ill a source of envious w onderment to Haverford ' s w ould-be and would- not-hc socialites. 23 SMILING Dave of the Flaccus Boys is a gentleman and an athlete. Equally at home on basketball or dance floor, Dave has a blushing complexion which doesn ' t seem quite consistent with his prowess on the soccer field, and once threatened to develop into an acute case of apoplexy when the hooters engaged the lassies at Bryn law r in a brisk session of field hockey. Dave was a perennial member of the Minute to Eight Breakfast Club along w ith the three other inhabitants of the Penthouse — that expansive firetrap perched on Merion where life was never dull, but always mysterious. At least we have reason to believe Dave never spent it reading government. You see, in the winter there was always a skiing trip to Tamworth, or the thought of it, and at other times there was nVine until it began to interfere with the financing of Saturday night dates. CHARLES YVORLEY FISHER 2b Llandillo Road Llanerch, Pennsylvania Mercersburg Academy English major STEVE was a charming fellow Freshman year, but then he started contracting a positive view towards life. Our jovial adherents to the rut concept just couldn ' t stand it, and our intellectual stagnation was chilled to the very marrow when he brought out the New Masses. But thence forward Steve held aloof from the path of ordinary mortals, and his stubborn Olympian miasma has lead him through varied paths. Good music, Mclntyre ' s, custom-built shoes, a roommate, and romantic cliches, all give evidence of his futile efforts in four years to strike a compromise between weltschmerz and joie de vivre. One fair day, however, the potential messiak of a new social order discovered a new interest, and he learned how the upper two per cent lives. We can ' t say that he was impressed with what we like to consider the inherent beauty of life among the economic rovalists — it was the dark brown eves that got him. 24 |) ID I ' I Kin FLAO  Bryn Mawb V. i I ' .M« IW ' .I I ' I NNS I l ' ■ ' • Friend Central •rnmenl m ( ' I [ARLIE FIS1 ER has probablj had more fingers in more pies more successfully than anyone in I laverford I verything from Stack Lectures to Finnish reliel received his vitalizing touch I te has mimicked on public and private occasions Reginald Gardiner.

Indeed, he scheduled every waking hour allowing himself only three min- utes and seventeen seconds to read the Inquirer and brush his teeth. His planned existence gave him more time to study planned economy and other dull trivia while more imaginative, equally intelligent, less industrious colleagues enjoyed Life. Although he very seldom participated in bull-sessions, activities or the social swirl, he was occasionally seen by fellow collegians as he left the studious shades of South for meals. Consistently regular, he was invariably first in the Dining Hall where he presided over a table of satellites who admired his golf score, his average, and his smile. We envy Bud ' s ability to get things done, but somehow we would rather go along our gay, oblivious way doing Ec in white tie between 3 a.m. and 5, and reading The New Yorker before the History comprehensive.

That he maintained amicable relations with Roberts in spite of his propensity for avoiding Tuesday Collection ' s drool is amazing. That he consistently held the highest cut record in College inspired the envy of all those who found bed more attractive than drab 8:30 ' s.

LEWIS LAMAR JANNEY Hollins College, Virginia Westtown School Philosophy major THE financial wizardry of E. I Kohn has been manifest in both his personal affairs and in his canny handling of the Charity Chest. The mighty Kohn credit structure has long been the envy of the debtor element in College, and his policy of cajoling rather than shaming made the Charity Chest a success instead of a high-minded failure. Despite the anti-charity group which rallied under the inspirational slogan, not a cent for them dead-beats, ' ' wily Eddie emerged with the philanthropic bacon. Argumentation on subjects sartorial, vehicular, or nautical is a sure thing at any hour in the Kohn Ninth-Entry salon. His dread casuistry is invincible, and many a foe has gone down while staunchly opposing the patent leather type suit, the Ameri- can built car, or the formation of a Haverford Yacht Club. But perhaps the great- est of Eddie ' s accomplishments is revealed in the current belief that his wit can annihilate a stuffed shirt in approximately thirty seconds. 32 SAM1 II FREDI RI I [OH 50- | ' ,. .Mi-. i ' i.

He has his way with the faculty, too. Ask Doctor Herndon. Behind this imposing exterior, Bob is really as bad as the rest of us.

But Dick soon built up the defense philosophy that conformity was mediocrity and regularity was boredom. Not content with constructing a mammoth female snow nude freshman year, Dick has continued to undermine the moral fabric of the College with his notori- ously super-sexed Vic Dance posters. When Wilmcr issued eviction papers for Franklin and Eleanor, two semi-housebroken fowl that he raised in his room rhinie year, Dick switched to cultivating immensely prolific guppies and extremely frigid goldfish.

But many a butterfly paid for it dearly w ith its life when Bobby went on a tear, and released all those pent up inhibitions. Alcohol is not only valuable as a preservative, Bobbj learned from the Biology department. In fact, it was whispered in his presence, some people drink it. He admits that the lecture room sometimes had that kilty odor about it. On the lighter side, our budding paleontologist enjoyed the advantages of an Allentown aristocrat.

GRADUATE STUDENTS JHLaverford was particularly fortunate in having among this year ' s group of Graduate Students several who found time to be one of the boys in addition to pursuing strenuous academic tasks. Usually the small coterie inhabiting the distant house by the pond shuts itself up in its own small world only emerging for meals and classes, but this academic year found a basketball combination that completely upset Promoter Docherty s court loop and walked off with the Intramural title. In Bricker. Hawley, Liljenstein. and Watson the faculty found able assistants, and. believe it or not. they indulge in the vissicitudes of social life. ■)■ Front row: Liddcll, Arnold, Little, Stainton. Blum, C.

Though more aggressive than ingratiating, their effo rts after freshman year have resulted in more than broken doors. Though they have preserved a scholastic entity, it is difficult to write of them as a single personality. The class character, like its achievements, is marked by its diversity. After sophomore year, the class settled down to sanity and nicely denned cliques which complemented themselves. There are the South Barclay boys, the Founders fellows, the Center Barclay polyglots of different floors, and the New Lloyd swank set, health hounds, and halfbreeds. By and large, however, it ' s a pleasant class with a variety of interests within respectable channels. Never mediocre, its god a Greek balance, its faith has been put in the golden mean. Maintaining high scholastic standards, a modicum of normalcy, a minimum of individualism, and a maximum of good spirits, the class of ' 41 offers much, and indeed seems capable of leading the student body in every respect its senior year. 56 Front row [ homson Wise, Potter Mc( ulloch Burford, Weaver, Spaulding, Vddom, 1 Rhodin, Boysen.

SOPHOMORE CLASS lius year ' s Sophomore Class must have caused Mac a lot of time, trouble and tra el when he got it together, for l°42 ' s roster shows 18 states represented, extend- ing from New England to Iowa. But the efforts weren ' t in vain, if extensive par- ticipation in extra-curricular activities combined with more than average scholar- ship is any criterion for judging a class ' s success at Haverford. Athletics is the sophomore forte. At least a third of the class has been substitut- ing for or regularly playing on the varsity during the year. But don ' t get the im- pression that the sophs are just muscle-bound, for their scholastic casualties have been few compared with the periodic purgings in most classes. .After receiving mild treatment at the hands of last year ' s sophs, this year ' s class continued the precedent. The sophs were also responsible for the purchasing of the new canopy to cover the gymnasium dance floor, and this year they turned their dance into a week-end and elected a prom queen to the Class. 57 Front rou : M.

FRESHMAN CLASS T he Rhinies caused Mr. Fisher several headaches this year, staging spectacular hold-outs and mass rebellions against the Customs Committee tyranny. No malice but merely high spirits underlay these disturbances, however; later in the fall the College saw a fine display of freshman spirit at a Rhinie-sponsored bonfire and pep- rally, with girl cheerleaders as an added attraction. Nevertheless the attempts to shake off the traditional regulations proved fruit- less. The death of Joe Rhinie was not celebrated until the Freshman-Junior Dance, when the remains, placed in a simple casket, formed the principal motif of the dec- orations. The originality of the Rhinies cropped out again in ambitious plans for a Fresh- man hayride, which were cancelled when the weatherman proved uncooperative. Undaunted, the yearlings planned a Rhinie picnic, which as this goes to press is scheduled for dogwood time at Valley Forge. In other matters the Class of 1943 is not so unconventional. Their athletic prowess is as great as that of their predecessors, and they ranked in the usual posi- tion in the annual I.Q. tests. 58 UNION C T I V I T I E S j ( rivniES those forces which send us scuri in such efficient in; inner, involve us in smokj meetings which invariablj end in hull sessii ns and which finall; provide us with more or less con science soothing excuses for scholastic procrastination I hcv give us time to express th ise commercial editorial legal and vocal ambitions Who will forget News typewriters vieing with the I affordmen on Sunday nights, constitutional amendments emanating from th ' • ' un- ci I on which we vote occasii mall) entertainments pro ided by a side- show minded Cust  ms immittee or the wine and women whicl ' and Bells plavs invariable bring to Ri iberts?

N, CUSTOMS COMMITTEE Iineteen-forty will be remembered as the year when Founders Hall gave birth to Rhinie shows in the best Billy Rose style, for nine- teen-forty boasted a Customs Committee with imagination. Though no Broadway prospects were unearthed, the Committee did manage to both entertain upper class- men and enlighten Rhinies with onestroke.

Aided immeasurably by increased active support of alumni and the College administration, culminating in the arrival of Lindsay A. Lafford who has replaced the veteran Mr. Bentz as director, the club has been able to realize many activities heretofore impossible. Well equipped with the whole gamut of choral ammunition under the able guidance of President Max Steel, the Club has turned in a season of outstanding success featuring the initiation of combined choral work with the Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Clubs. DEBATE COUNCIL CLnder T. K. Savior, Jerry Aaron, H. P. Balivet and the tutelary benefits of Professor Montgomery, the debating organization has seen a steady rise in activity and prominence within the last four years, culminating in the biggest season it has ever had in 1939-1940. With the passage of the stu dents activities fee, the debating group was able to enlarge its scope and its membership. A schedule of twenty-one varsity debates included appearances before women ' s clubs, the microphone, and high school audiences. This year membership totaled about twenty-five. Debates with Harvard, Princeton, Swarthmore, William and Mary, and the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania proved the highlights of a very successful year.

The Bell Telephone Company appeared here also with movies on the isograph, a machine which sokes differential equations, while on another occasion Professor Wilson emerged from retirement to lec- ture.

CAP AND BELLS C ap and Bells, supervisor of things dramatic and musical on cam- pus, was subjected to a welcome financial hypodermic when the Activ- ities Fee was passed this fall. When you add to this increased alumni interest and support brought about by the All-Haverford Plan, you account for one of the most successful seasons we have seen of late. The fall season brought to the boards The Ghost Train, a melo- drama to the delight of the sound effects department and the spine- tingling enjoyment of an appreciative audience. Artistically, it un- earthed valuable material in the freshmen class and showed what could be accomplished by a few phonograph records and an amplifier. Of note were the characterizations of King and Potter and the admir- able female support by the Varsity Players of Bryn Mawr. In recipro- cation several Haverford thespians gave of their talents for the Maw- rian production of J. B. Priestley ' s Time And The Conways. As we go to press the finishing touches are being applied to Sut- ton Vane ' s Outward Bound, a recent play from Broadway with much box office appeal, which, from all reports, will be one of the best produced by Cap and Bells. 68 GYM •1 1 111 1 1 i ' ii puni i i,„ ,,, in tep McDevil parrii 1 lavi i hoi on Pop R 1 « ■ I )ewees delivers hit, Reds?

Freshman year was victoryless while the 1938 season produced the best record in ten years. High hopes held out for senior year were decisively crushed by injuries and the stiff est schedule in years. The 193b eleven, hard hit by graduation and injuries, never got started and dropped six games. Williams, Beeler, Prescott and Magill saw considerable service that season, the first two receiving letters. The turn upward began in 1937 when a veteran squad under Coach Randall and his new assistant, Bill Docherty, 1935 Temple captain, turned in victories over Allegheny and Hamilton and tied Susquehanna, while losing to Wesleyan 6-0, Johns Hopkins. 13-12 and Randolph-Macon. Junior year was the high spot in our football career. Under the captaincy of Bob Jackson a veteran backfield coupled with a green line, which developed fast as the season progressed, combined to give Haverford its best season since 1929. Light, but fast and scrappy, the 1938 team opened with a thrilling but slipshod win over Susquehanna 7-6. Allegheny, sporting an eight-game winning streak, was dealt a crusher as the Randallmen, paced by Derr, Beeler and Magill, rolled up four touch- downs in the second half to win 28-0. 72 Wesleyan ' s heavilj favored eleven eked ou1 a 7 win in the nexl gami which was feal ure 1 1 se era! brillianl I laverfi ird goal- line stands, Ihr I lopkins jinx returned to plague us again as the Medicos won 7 6.

Senior year was a Jist inet disappointment I he vacancies left by Derr and Jackson, along with injuries, ineligibility and the stiffest schedule in years proved disastrous to our hopes. Union, with one of the finest small college teams in the country, over- whelmed Captain Williams ' eleven in the opener 41 13. The Fords tied Allegheny 13 13 in the second game and then met with disaster as a powerful Wesleyan team, which later won the Little Three title, ran roughshod 56 6. The Johns Hopkins game was the annual story as the Fords were nosed 12-7, at a last ditch rally falling just short ci( victory. Definite improvement was shown in the final two games hut a tie with Hamilton was all that could he gleaned. Lehigh rallied in the final half to win 20 13 as the plucky locals tired, struggling to hold their 13-0 halftime advantage. The Hamilton game- was a heartbreaker, ending in a scoreless tie. The big thrill came when Beeler ' s field goal attempt in the waning minutes hit the crossbar and fell back the wrong way.

SOCCER v_ oaches Gentle and Redington have long enjoyed the reputation of turning out soccer teams well above par and the class of ' 40 saw no exceptions to this rule during its four-year sojourn in the Haverford campus. In the fall of freshman year, the Gentlemen, led by Captain Les Seely, lived up to expectations by tying for second in the Middle Atlantic League, losing only to Penn and Swarthmore in collegiate competition. As Sophomores, Connie Atkinson, Dave Flaccus, and Bob Dewees made their varsity debut on a team that again tied for second-place honors with Penn and bowed to Swarthmore 1-0. Junior year finally witnessed the realization of title hopes as Captain Jack Evans led his veteran team through a season marred by one loss to Penn but adequately compensated for with a stirring 4-3 victory over the Garnet. The loss of such seasoned campaigners as Frankie Mears, Ham Welbourn, and Franny Brown made itself evident in senior year as the Gentlemen got off to a slow start with a 6-3 setback by the Alumni. Prospects brightened as Captain Connie Atkinson ' s proteges bowled over Merion and Oakview in the week of practice sessions preceding the Princeton contest.

Ursinus proved to be the next victim, this time bj an easj ) (i margin as Bill Miller distinguished him- self in keeping the Quaker goal inviolate. The Perm Mutual contest provided the comic relief of the season as the Fords rolled home on the long end ol a 1 3 6 score in spite of the presence ol one genial James Gentle in the opposition. Peak form of the year was finally reached when the locals took their first league win with a 3-0 count over Lehigh. A slight relapse was suffered at 1 loboken as Stevens garnered a sloppy 2 victory, hut the return to ' 88 field saw Lafayette smothered under an eight-goal barrage featured by Boh Dewee ' s record long-distance boot for the final tally. An inspired Perm combination scored a 3 1 upset on River Field, but success was in store for the Gentlemen against Swarth- more. Handicapped by mud and snow on an alien field, the Fords secured a 1 tri- umph on Ed Llaccus ' goal that climaxed a successful season with the second consecu- tive victory over the traditional Garnet rival and a record o nine victories in a fourteen-game schedule.

WRESTLING In following the record of Coach Rene Blanc-Roos ' wrestling team through four years of varying fortunes, the season of 1936 stands out as the most successful. As Rhinies, the class of ' 40 was represented by two ex-members, Parke Longscope and Jim Ashbrook, on this team that won four out of six meets and took third place in the stiff com- petition of the Middle Atlantics. Sophomore year saw Chet Baum making the team captained by Middle Atlantic title-holder Chick Haig that won only twice in a seven-meet schedule and placed fourth in the Conference. The mat- men fared no better in the won and lost columns the following season but the performances of Baird Coursin, Chet Baum, and Dick Bolster augured well for the future. Under the able leadership of Captain Coursin in the senior year, an inexperienced team composed largely of Rhinies achieved the credit- able feat of defeating Ursinus and Muhlenberg in a six-meet schedule against veteran opposition. Baird Coursin secured third place in the competition for the 155-lb. Middle Atlantic title and captain-elect Dick Bolster brought back a second in the 1 36-lb. division. 76 Frontrou I) Pooli ' all om i I [addl. ton (Coach I ' i Garj : ' ' rou Kibbee, Blai I well, Boj ' M Shi had h CROSS-COUNTRY L- ross-coi niky was not one of the strong points of the class 1940.

FENCING v oniinuinc the winning tradition of Coach Henri-Gordon ' s fenc- ing teams during the past four years, the swordsmen wound up their season with a record of five victories against eight opponents, includ- ing an 18-9 decision over Swarthmore. Led by Captain Bill IcDevit, the senior trio of Andre Reichel. Bob Hunn, and Jim Vincent proved dependable in deciding close meets on the right side of the ledger.

That year, paced by Joe Carson, who set a new Col- lege scoring recoring record, the team won five games while dropping eleven. Swarthmore topped the Fords in the season ' s finale 43-23. The next season saw the Randallmen lose every game on the schedule despite the fine play of Captain Ted Wingerd. The team never got moving and the lack of height was a severe handicap. Junior year started off as a repeat of 1938 but the club came through against St. John ' s at Annapolis to break the victory famine. Wesleyan, Trin- ity, Lafayette, Lehigh and Stevens all downed the Fords before they notched their second triumph. Against Hamilton the Fords won out with a desperate rally. Hopkins was too much for us, edging the Ran- dallmen on a last minute field goal. Swarthmore, possessing one of the finest records in the district, was met next in what was expected to be an awful shellacking. The Fords, however, gave a surprising exhibition and made the game ex- tremely close until the waning minutes by their tenacious play. The 78 final score was 33 22. Vrt Magill, Beelei Williams and Flaccus all saw c nsi lerable serv ice in 1939 Senior year the team was long on experience but shori on hi i and scoring abilitj Captain n Magill gave a consistently fine per- formance and was fai in fronl in individual scoring.

Captain lagill, Bcclcr anel Da e I laccus all terminated their c turt careers in the Swarthmore game. A, SQUASH although still awaiting recognition as a varsity sport, squash has nevertheless seen a small but enthusiastic turnout during the past lour years. Ham 1 loyt, Bob Dew ees and Sam Maule served as representatives of the class of ' 40 on the six-man squad that has enjoyed better than average success in com- petition against the leading prep schools of the vicinity. This year the team wound up the season with a week-end trip to .Atlantic City which promises to become an annual Sensenig, ( happell (Manager Hoyt Captain), CVent. Blum.

Today they read Twenty- Ninth Straight instead the Tenth Straight of 1937. In between we have seen four of Pop Haddleton ' s greatest years at Haverford, five shattered College records, a Middle Atlantic Championship, and a Penn Relays victory. The team of 1937 defeated Hopkins, Lehigh, Lafayette, Dickin- son, and Union by wide margins, and triumphed over Swarthmore by five points in the season ' s closest meet. Joe Wingerd lowered the 100- yard dash record to 9.9 seconds on the same day that Sam Evans skimmed over the high hurdles for a new mark of 15.5 seconds. Later the team travelled to the Middle Atlantics, and quietly rolled up 35rk points to snatch the championship from Rutgers, though annex- ing only a single first place. Lurting was the only rhinie to see action in that year. In 1938, with only six of 1937 ' s stars gone, the trackmen breezed through six more contests, downing Hopkins, Lafay- 80 ette, Leh igh, s w .1 ri hmore . Union.

Running its string to twenty- seven, the 1939 team conquered Lehigh, Franklin and Marshall, I lopkins. Swarthmore, Gettys- burg. Drexel, and Susquehanna. But, weakened by graduation, it managed to finish only third in the Middle Atlantics. Another record fell as Shihadeh set a new two-mile mark of 10 minutes 1 1 seconds, while Steiger equalled the high hurdles record. Four juniors were lettermen. In this, the 1°40 season, Charlie Fisher ' s men have al- ready defeated Hopkins and Gettysburg. In addition, a strong relay quartet of Snipes, Sharkey, Janney, and Falconer won the M.A.S.C.A.A. Mile Re- lay Championship in the Penn Relays for the first time in Pop ' s nineteen years of coaching at Haverford. And hopes for the future are bright, with good material developing in the lower classes.

BASEBALL Ihe diamond pastime has not been a strong point in Haverford athletics during our four years at Haverford. Sophomore year, under the captaincy of Ham Welbourn, the team had their most successful campaign, winning six games and tieing one. Freshman year the Fords won only four games but included a 7-4 win over Swarthmore. Junior year began auspiciously enough with a 5-4 victory over Briclgewater, but the high hopes held for the team dwindled as the Ranclallmen dropped the next three games to the University of Vir- ginia, Hampden-Sydney and Drexel. PMC. was vanquished easily in the next game, 14 4, but five more defeats were suffered before the Locals found their batting eyes and trounced Stevens 14-7. The final two games of the season saw Hampden-Sydney win 9-2 and Swarthmore tie the Fords 0-0 in a five-inning game halted by rain. Losing only Jackson and Palmer by graduation the outlook was bright this season for a banner year, but early season developments were far from encouraging. 82 ( laptain Beeler has been catch- ing the slants ol an able bul largely inexperienced pitching staff composed of A I Dorian, Ken Roberts, Bob Strausbaugh, Gordy Howe, Ace Zeigler and the veteran left-hander Slew Beers. Ralph Strohl, whose big bat led the team last seasi n. is a fixture at first , hile ( ieorge Warner ' s work at shortstop has been a rcvclat i( n I lie i it her two infield positions are not as settled, but Paul Saxer at second and ( lary Winslow at third have seen the most service. The out- field is a veteran combination with Jimmy Magill in left, Al Lewis in center and Red Wil- liams in right. The pitching has been ade- quate but the hitting has been light and the fielding inconsis- tent. Unseasonable weather has greatly hampered the squad this year, but it is hoped that with the return of warmer weather the team may garner several vic- tories, pointing especially for the Swarthmore fray, with an eye to keeping intact Coach Roy Ran- dall ' s record of never having lost a baseball game to the Garnet. The class of 1°40 has played a big part in their four years on the diamond. Beeler, Williams, Beers and Lewis have been let- termen for four years with Art Magill winning a letter twice and Ken Prescott once. Let ' s get those runs back Slick puts one across Get going.

TENNIS T he courtmen have had extreme records during our term at Haver- ford. Freshman year Norm Bramall s charges won ten of their eleven matches, losing only to Lehigh. The 1938 season was almost a dupli- cation of the year before as the team again dropped their only match to the Engineers. Junior year saw the racqueteers treading a rougher road as they dropped more than half their contests. The 1940 season thus far has shown little improvement, but the team, under the captaincy of Bob Dewees, hopes to hit its stride in the later stages of the season. Along with Dewees, Hoyt, Newhall, Ed Flaccus, Bolster and Chappell make up the squad. GOLF T. he seldom seen but much reported golf team, meeting an average of sixteen eastern colleges and a crowded, difficult schedule, is now entering its tenth consecutive season on the golf course of the Merion Cricket Club. Slowly improving during the past three years, its history reveals 21 wins balanced against 25 losses and two ties. Returning this year with four lettermen led by Captain Bud Gross and Max Steel, vet- erans of three seasons of varsity competition, the team, after dropping the opener to Swarthmore, came back strongly to win handily the suc- ceeding two matches and, thus far, looks ahead to a season of better than average success. 84 INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Stimulated bj i he three yeai compulsory athletit program inti mural athletics continued to enjoj an expansion oi interest thn ugh- oui thestudenl bodj under the abl guidanci of managei Leon SoTis- Cohen.

CRICKET O NEofthe few colleges in America possessing an active cricket team Haverford plays a schedule which includes nearby cricket associations and a lew colleges such as Princeton and I rsinus. Although interest has waned during the last ten years, the Scarlet and Black team carries on the traditional sport which, in ears gone by, took Haverford cricketers to England. The past few seasons the lords have had at least one star player who led the team with outstanding performances. Among these were : Ed Rector, Bull Brown, Pat Trench and Ratcliffe. The i  ui l k for this season is uncertain but Coach Ashton figures the Scarlet and Black cricketers will give a good account of themselves. IX I RAMI RAL COMMITTEE Nulis i olun i h. u 1 1 n.iii .
