Hobart College - Echo of the Seneca Yearbook (Geneva, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 260 of the 1929 volume:

FOREWORD THEY have told you in times before that the Echo is a journal, a record of the class. It has been more than that to us. Rather do we feel that it has led us closer to the life of our fellow students and to an understanding of our college beyond the pale of class interest. And so it has not been a great labor but an interest and viewing it so we have no apologies to offer. We ask that you read between the lines that you may find the many things we could not say. Time gives us a perspective to all things and when this year of ours is memory, then, if this Echo should give clearness to the truer picture, it will be more than a journal for you as well. Here then is the 1929 edition of the Echo of the Seneca. Thus was it conceived and developed. Perhaps in doing our work we have had the better part of the task. —The Board of Editors. FRANK HAMILTON WARREN Hobart 1896 we of iQ2Q, dedicate with affection and regard this ECHO. We do this because in his service to his mother college ice find an expression of the highest in Hobart Loyalty and ah ex- ample of the finest qualities of Hobart Men. 5 CONTENTS THE 1929 Echo of the Seneca is in Nine Parts.

Columbia University Phi Beta Kappa Orator, June 13, 1927 who said in part: “Define life as nobly as we can, then we must insist that scholarship shall busy itself with what will make life nobler and easier to attain. . . . Those of us who have had our fill of book learning, and who will carry to our grave a romantic love for printed pages between covers, yet come to realize that true scholarship is whatever life demands of us at the great moments, and since it makes demands of us all. we believe there is latent within us all the power to respond. Before the system of education is likely to change, more scholars in the world must resolve to study in order to live, devoting their minds only to that wisdom which is in the creative sense practical—the wisdom which emerges at last in accomplishments beautiful and shining and not to be forgotten.” 4i Program of the 102nd Commencement June ii, Saturday 10:00 A M:—Meeting of the Board of Trustees 10:00 A.

Intricate philosophical probings into this matter are unnecessary. A simple list of items such as the following is adequate Graduation of less than 50 of the original class. Phenomenally unsuccessful participation in the last of all banner scraps. Unique interruption of 1927 s sophomore banquet Predominance of probation in the Freshman Lacrosse Squad. Eddie Marx Bi-color process in flour scraps. The 1928 Echo. The healthly condition of the class treasury. The innovation of a multiple senior banquet. We arrived here at the beginning of a new administrational epoch and we depart as an example of the new regime; fewer in numbers, it is true, but, we believe with a greater understanding of our problems and a determination to make the world more interesting if not more admirable.

H. West JUNIORS 65 Junior History 1 HE histories which are customary in most college annuals are one ol' two things. They are either misnomers, or they are extended and biased series of alterable facts, so worded as to give that particular group w hich they describe, pre- eminence over another or other groups within the same general institution. To state with emphasis that the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine in Hobart College is much the superior of any of the other three classes who help form this institution, is as ridiculous as stating that a man's heart is better than his liver, or that good food is better than sufficient sleep. There can be no minute classification in instances such as these. It matters not how much more important or how much more energetic one organ or one function is to man; the fact w hich is to be regarded with a clear mind is that these are essential to life. Without them there would be no living. The situation remains precisely analogous with the institution of learning as with human organisms. The Junior Class in Hobart College is one-fourth the college. Were all the memhers of this particular group to suddenly disappear from the roll, 1 cannot, but believe that within a very short time there would be no college. Perfectly normal is this example. It is not with the spirit of blatant conceit that this is said. . .it is merely a statement of fact. One is only normal in feeling himself slightly predjudiced toward the group within which he finds those of his kind. That is but natural. It is the keystone of man’s superiority over other, lesser animals. So when E say that 1 believe the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine is the equal of the finest class which ever attended this college, I trust that the statement will be taken in the spirit in which it is uttered; that of the fond son. the adoring disciple, the worshipful follower blinded to his father's faults, impervious to criticism of his master, deaf to any- thing but the highest praises for his leader. In that spirit I announce my class; in that spirit may that class maintain the respect and the homage and the loyalty, unswerving, of her sons. I! istorian 66 George E.

Like all strange and stirring phenomena, George is too complex a character to pass final judgment upon in the light of three passing years. We await the details of the future. He is exceptional in that all Hobart has her eyes upon him. Whatever the future, his campus record can never be dimmed. Yet rather as purveyor of foods, as keeper of the mascots, as artist of the camera than as Captain of Football will he be best remem- bered. Still we would not be surprised to hear someday this refrain, Come, my children, and bring your dogs; hearken unto the story of the last of the Thanksgiving Day Games.” Of his stature he ivas of evene lengthe And wonderly delivere, and greet of slrengthe. 68 GEORGE WILLIAM BARNES, Scientific, 0AX, Osweco, N.

Nothing else could account for this continued impersonation of the strong, silent man from the great open spaces (of Oswego)—the poker face, the bulldog jaw. We've always felt that this physiognomous petrification was only a temporary arrangement, but almost three years have gone by, and it has remained as changeless and about as mobile as the Rock of Gibraltar. . .Helen of Troy would never have launched one of those thousand ships if Bill had been admiral.

Dismayed not at all by his brief leave of absence, Dayt returned among the notables of the college primarily to prove the error of the Dean, and because there was no one here capable of filling his (Dayt's) shoes. He has since proved the first point tolerably well, and when before midyears he relapsed for the moment, there became apparent little doubt about the latter. In both basketball and football this husky son has become indis- pensable. Possessed of the iron jaw of determination, the eagle eye of the conquerer, and the disposition of an ewe lamb, Dayt idles through life, nihil faciens, nihil curans, nihil expectans. 70 JAMES MELIUS BARRI SKILL, JR., Arts, Neutral, Binghamton, N.

IT is a matter of regret that law and custom prevent Jim from following as closely as he otherwise might in the footsteps of his old friend Quintus Horatius Flaccus, but he is an ardent disciple, and the result is such that the Latin Department will suffer a great loss when J im departs. His ac- tivities have not been confined, however, to ancient philology, for several of the successes of the Mummers have been due either to his acting or to his direction. Some persons might think Jim somewhat Puritanical if they saw him in the family pew in chapel every morning, but we know that he is really more like Caesar than like Caesar's Wife. 71 HARRY BACON BELDEN, Scientific, 2 J .

But it has hardened him and made him worldly. In spite of this, he has a very soft spot in his heart for members of the weaker sex. He is endowed with those charms which are supposed to fascinate the weaker sex and put them in his power, willy-nilly. Last year she w'as a blonde. This year she is the kind gentlemen are not supposed to prefer. He has business ability. He aspires to manage our basketball team and the business end of the Herald. Doubt everything is his philosophy on life. He is sure of himself in every circumstance.. .What of it?

FROM the distant pale of Gotham came this tall and blasphemous cynic to descend upon an unsuspecting, God-fearing institution. His spoutings, oracular and by the printed page, are periodic and to the point.. .an ad- mirable quality appreciated by few.

A.BOUT three years ago, Tommy forsook the plow and the harrow and entered Geneva with a million-dollar smile for the purpose of acquiring a higher education. He is a man of parts, and thus his presence was soon felt along South Main Street. Tom is much interested in civic welfare work, and is the founder of the Volunteer Fire Department of Hobart College. He is of fearless nature, and has bearded most of the social lionesses (sic!) here in their dens. There is one dark spot in his life. For three years Tommy has been living under the shadow of a Hill, and like Abraham Lincoln, if he ever gets a chance to hit that thing, he's going to hit it hard.

T HERB is something about him, you know. And as you see him more, just by that much are you surer of it. Strength is his characteristic—in- tellectual strength, physical strength, moral strength. There were never three better phrases to define this man. Our only wonder is how New Jersey ever stood the loss. But we rest in peace, for did he not come to us and Hobart? “Greater men than I may have lived, but I doubt it.'' GEORGE JACOB RUFENACHT, Arts, Neutral, Flushing, N. Y.

George, or Rufie,'' as he is better known, came unto us from Potato Island, a conscientious, trustworthy, bashful, virtuous younsgter, well versed in mathematics, history, vegetables and much advanced in the care and feeding of poultry. Yes, George certainly knows his chickens; and his coming to Hobart has perfected his knowledge in this line, having made extensive researches in several peculiar breeds. Rufie has assuredly done his share in college, for where there is spirit needed anywhere, he is ever-present to give his support. He aspires to dethrone Jim Thorpe; failing this, to replace the redoubtable J. P. Morgan on Wall Street. 109 STANLEY ANTHONY SHOLIK, Scientific, Neutral, Lawrence, Mass.

This product of the sea-swept New' England descended saltily upon us, and immediately undertook to make things as difficult for himself as possible. None but the hardest courses would suffice.. .none but the highest grades would do. In hopes of ingratiating himself with the pedagogues here, he found, alas, that these men of wisdom were immune to his cajoling.

I II-RMAN ADOLPH TENNANT, Scientific, L'lIK, Seneca Falls, N. Y. He is sometimes called the Seneca Falls' Flash, perhaps because he appears so momentarily. He came to college as a student of physics par ticularly and other things in general. However, he soon transferred his affections to the gridiron and is now one of the most able of Deac s pupils. He admits that football w as his first love, but he seems fickle, for there are frequent visits to Potsdam to be explained. His other accomplishments in- clude basketball and Hosmer's Economics. In fact his zeal for the latter is rumored to have deprived the lacrosse team of an embryo star. We hasten to add that he is is not half so bad as he is painted or pictured. 1 12 BELMONT EDMOND THOMAS, Scientific, AIL Bath, N. Y. Born, December 24. 1904, al Bath. N. Y.

He is not nearly as we would suppose from having been in a Bath since childhood, but he thrives out of his native element. He has a dark past (to hear him tell it), a dim present and a brilliant future. This last is guaranteed by a penchant for medical sciences and a vast knowledge of the dominant sex. Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow is his motto of work. It is lucky, however that many trains run between here and Buffalo or Tommy would have an aeroplane.

WE have always had trouble in making Dana out right from those early days when he used to follow his kid brother about the campus. Just what college is making out of Dana, even at this late date we hesitate in saying. New York State and Hobart early took an interest in him only to find that he spends much of his time in supplying Bertrams with an intellect- ual background and the Glifton Spring's nurses with a difficult case. How he does it, and yet reserves his name every week in the Herald is what is responsible for our frame of mind. The force of his own merit makes his way. 5 ALBERT EMMETT WALKER, Scientific, AT 2, Rochester, N. Born, April i j, rgo , at Rochester, New York. Prepared at East High School.

A chemist fair with golden hair we find within our midst. He achieves success where'er he goes, which is mostly with women. Apparently not only gentlemen prefer blondes. Have you ever seen Eddie going about the campus wearing that worried look? He’s wondering how he will ever live down the reputation of having first selected Rochester as a place to go to college.

From the deep and musty recesses of ancient Rome, and the legends, half-hidden, of worlds that never were, he draws his cranial nutrition.

But we're still . . . . ? 125 Sophomore History Veni, vidi, vid. Caesar, we believe, was the gentleman who swelled out his chest and proudly spoke those classic words. And now the Class of Nineteen Thirty grows Roman, dusts off its Latin Grammars, and announces, “Venimus, Vidimus, Vincemus! We came, we saw, and we shall conquer. One skips over the coming, of course, for that was history long ago. It was but an annual occurrence—the inevitable thing, the thing to be expected in any college. Had we only come, and let things severely alone at that, there would be no history to write. But we saw! The things we saw w ere many and varied, and were undoubtedly the things that all classes see. provided they guard against oversleeping their whole college life. We saw our scraps turn into victories, our banquet lauded as a success- our Hop a memorable dance, our classmates honored in all activities—but why be soporific w'ith the details of a mere chronicle? The criterion of a class is not what it has done, but how it has done those things. And on the score of how, we say but one thing—that the class of Thirty has tackled college some sixty strong, but like a single man, and has come out clearly on top of the tackle. The conquering clause of our Latin proclamation has been spoken in the future tense. Why1 Because we realise that our victories are but half behind us; just five-tenths history and five-tenths prophecy. The history portion has been written. And N ineteen Thirty swears and subscribes to before me at this finis of its Sophomore year that it will earnestly concern itself with transforming Vincemus into a very definite past perfect Yet a little while . ..

'33 Freshman History Wb CAME to Hobart as the largest class ever welcomed by this institution. We may have been ill at ease at first, but we soon became acclimated and began to feel at home. We ask who would not after such effusive greetings from the Seniors? Body and soul warmed to them after their demonstration of interest in our behalf. We do owe them some gratitude, however, for the talent which they uncovered at the Frosh Vodvil. Only for them it might have remained undiscovered. In the Freshman-Sophomore Scraps we completely bewildered our opponents both by our spirit and our number. Although the decision was awarded to them, we can easily demonstrate that it was a technical one. our first courtesy to that class. We soon did them another. We detained the class Treasurer and a member of their committee from their annual banquet—a service which we feel has not been appre- ciated. There is a wealth of material in the class of Nineteen Thirty-One and we have supported in good numbers the activities of the college including probation. The football team was commendable, our basketball team was good and the lacrosse squad is rounding into shape Dramatics, debate and the other activities have ail found promising freshman material. At the time this goes to press we have held neither our banquet nor the frolic. The frolic this year will be more than its usual success. Our banquet too will be a success because we have caught the Hobart spirit—which is saying enough.

It was doubtful for a Ion time whether the organization would survive, but thanks to the untiring efforts and never dying loyalty of its members, all obstacles were overcome Since the new stage was completed the Mummers have been very active, and Coxe Hall has been the center of much interest both to the students and the people in Geneva Despite some comment to the contrary, the Mummer productions have been of high quality and deserving of much praise as amateur dramatic work The first three-act play presented by the Mummers was a great success. The Youngest, a three-act comedy by Philip Barry was given. After two nights' per- formance in Coxe hall the play was given at the Smith Opera House to aid the Hood- relief fund. This year three groups of one-act plays have been put on the stage. The Hand of Siva was again presented. John M. Wuerpel, who played so well in this play, also had the leading role in Copy . “Manikin and Minikin was the most picturesque thing ever seen at Hobart.

Sanborn, '31 - Supervising Captain Manager The Debate Team made a strong come-back this year. St. Lawrence was defeated by the Hobart Team composed of Young, Rigney, and Calabrese. The question dehated was: Resolved, That this House is opposed to the Principles of Mussolini. Hobart took the negative side of the question and won a unanimous decision. The next week Hobart lost to Bucknell on the question: Resolved, That the direct primary as a means of nominating state and national officials should be abolished. The Bucknell team was more experienced, but Karr, Pitts, and Holmes on the Hobart team displayed much skill in the forensic art. With the encouragement received this year Hobart ought to come back into her own again in debate. 156 Phi Delta Sigma Established at I lobart in 923 The purpose of Phi Delta Sigma is to promote interest in Public Speaking and Debate at Hobart.

On March z Coach Kraus called all the candidates together. The first few days of practice was confined to the gymnasium, because of the poor condition of the cam- pus. The work at first consisted chiefly in drill in stick work. With Capt. Trap- nell, Engcrt, Buley, Raymond, Budd, Orr, Morris, Fingar, White and Deci as a nucleus the prospects for a successful season were bright. Each afternoon found the squad diligently at work getting in condition for the first game of the season. On April 9, the Varsity met the Alumni which was led by Jack” Van lngen, '14. The first score came within less than one minute of play when Engert slipped in to take a nice pass from Buley. The goals from then on began to pile up in rapid succession. When the final whistle of the game sounded the score was 17-0 in favor of Flobart. The occasional bit of old time form by Cole and Van Ingen were the only outstanding feats of the Alumni. The fine defensive work of Captain Trapnell, and the lightning attack of Buley. Engert and Taft were responsible for the large score. A new foe was met in the Buffalo Collegians on April 16. The team was composed of several former Hobart stars. For the most part the game was slow' and only at times was fast lacrosse displayed. The consistent playing of the de- fense and the work of Fingar in center field were exceptionally good. The final score was Hobart 11, Buffalo Collegians 3. 200 Then came the Onondaga Indians to Geneva in full war paint. The game was interesting for the spectators who never tire of watching the amazing stick- work of the Indians. The end of the first period the score was 4-2, Hobart on the long end. Both of the goals for the Indians were made by U. Johnson third attack, who was responsible for three out of the four points made in the game. The im- provement of Hobart was very noticeable and the Army game was looked forward to with great anticipation. The goals of Ratcliffe and Bngert gave the Orange and Purple the two winning tallies. Hobart 6, Onondaga Indians 4. One of the most colorful events in the history of Hobart athletics was w hen the strong Army team defeated Hobart by the score of 4-1. This was the first time that any team of the Military Academy had appeared in Western New York. The Army opened the scoring in the first few minutes by slipping a goal by Kiley, then the playing continued with the ball at first one end of the field and then the other. The Army again scored near the end of the half. The second half opened with a Hobart rally w hich resulted in Budd making one of the most beautiful goals of the year. By no means did Hobart now lose its fight, but the Army tightened up and held Hobart scoreless for the remainder of the game. One of the interesting things of the game was the opposition of the captains, the Trapnell brothers, both playing remarkable games, using strength and skill each trying to out do the other. One of the noticeable features of the game was the ever presence of good sportsmanship despite the bitter battling for victory. No one Hobart man was the individual star but rather team work and fight were responsible for what was accomplished. 201 May 4 found the lacrosse squad at Schenectady for the Union game. The day w as rainy and conditions were the worst for both teams Hobart entered the game over-confident from the excellent show ing they had made in the West Point game. The second half brought forth a streak of ragged playing on the part of the Hobart team The game ended in a tie, and it was necessary to play an extra period. This also was a tie and the game was called because of the rapid approach of darkness. The work of Kiley at goal was the feature of the game. The follow ing Saturday witnessed the arrival of the Colgate team This game also was characterized by ragged playing and roughness on both sides On the whole, Hobart was outplayed, but superior knowledge of the game and stickwork saved the day. Kiley at goal as at Union made several remarkable stops. The second half found a much improved defense for Hobart, but this was the limit of the spirit. Colgate succeeded in scoring a goal making the game a 4 4 tie There was no extra period played. Hobart still in a slump on May 14 encountered Cornell. Defensive lacrosse was in vogue for the day. Cornell having the edge at all times. The first twenty minutes was a rare display of speed; the ball sailed from one end of the field to the other with lightning rapidity. All efforts of Cornell to score were frustrated by the checking of the defense, while Hobart lost opportunities to score by neglecting to shoot at the right moment. An avalanche hit the Hobart defense in the beginning of the second half, w hen Cornell scored two goals in succession. The defense now settled down and Cornell was held the rest of the game. The damage had been done and the final result was a 3-0 victory for Cornell. The last game of the season with Syracuse University ended the year in a glorious manner. Syracuse had only lost one game and was much the favorite. But as play began, it was evident that this game was going to be different Checking, shooting, and passing, all were done with accurate precision by both teams. At the end of the half they left the field w ith Syracuse leading z c. The first half had thrilled the spectators, the second half swept them completely off their feet. Hobart throwing all caution to the winds, began an attack that noth- ing could check. Budd was the first to score only to be followed immediately with a goal by Engert. The playing now became fast and furious which was only inter- rupted by the end of the game. The score was gj and an extra ten period failed to bring a score for either team. The game was one of the most exciting that has been seen on the Campus in many years. Trapnell, Kiley, Buley, Engert, Taft and Raymond raised a fitting memorial to themselves as they carried Hobart's colors high for the last time. The Syracuse game brought the end of the brilliant career of Captain Trapnell, who has taken an active part in football, basketball and lacrosse, winning his letter in each. Kiley another 3-letter man will be lost by graduation this June The playing of Joe in goal has saved many a day for Hobart. Buley and Engert entered college together, played four years of lacrosse and have both attained fame together. The flashy stick-work of these two has often been the center of amaze- ment as the attack went forward. Raymond and Taft are deserving of great praise for it is due to such men that Hobart has attained its position in lacrosse. 203 204 Olin J. Biidd Charles O.

Two weeks before the opening of college, coach Vincent S. Welch had the squad on Bos- well Field for a few days of preliminary work in preparation for a difficult schedule, looked forward to with everything hut comfort Under the able leadership of Captain Rudd, together w ith seven varsity men from 1920. and abundant material from the igto freshman team, the squad began to look more and more like a championship one. The loss of the veterans Vogt, Trapnell and Kiley was indeed a large gap to fill but Deac W elch w ith that characteristic never say die. spirit succeeded in filling the positions with boote and Culick from the preceding freshman team. On September zO the season opened, as customary, with the Syracuse University game, at Syracuse. The final score was a 13 -o defeat. A great number of the students accompanied the team giving fine moral support. Hobart much out-weighed and lacking the replacement material of Syracuse, made up the deficiency w ith fight. At the opening of the game Hobart w as completely taken off its feet, when Captain Barbutti receiv ed the kick off. and ran the length of the field for a touchdown Undaunted by this bit of ill luck, Hobart steadied and in the second half completely out played Syracuse. The second game against Dartmouth resulted in a 40-0 defeat for Hobart The game was played under a boiling New Hampshire sun. which sapped the strength of both teams, but Dartmouth having an almost inexhaustible supply of reserves was able to maintain a fresh team on the field at all times Hobart w ith a tquad of 22 men was unable to overcome such a disadvantage. Despite the one- sidedness of the score, and the ragged play w hich inevitably appears at times in the early season, the game was not uninteresting and th Orange and Purple deserve much credit for their persistent efforts in the face of such overwhelming odds 206 In the third game Upsala came to Geneva, after holding the strong Trinity team to a score of b-o. This team proved to have a lot of power, but was lacking in speed When Hobart finally emerged on the long end of a 38 to o core the team was filled with a wholesome respect for the prowess of our visitors from Xew Jersey. During the game Upsala was constantly on the defense, trying to repel the driving attack of the Hobart backs Leader and Budd. In each period Wyman and Gulick and often both would sprint around the ends for at least sixty yards. This game brought home to the students the progress that the team was making tow ard a successful season The Upsala game marked the end of w hat w e generally regard as the prelimi- nary warming up period, and on October 15 a good share of the student body had emigrated from Geneva to be found in the stands at Schenectady with countless other enthusiasts The day was ideal for football. The Union team had not ap- peared particularly mpressive in the early season games and hope ran high on the Hobart side Early in the game however, it became apparent that a Hobart victory was not at all according to the notions of the wearers of the Garnet. Except for the final period, the game was very exciting — the tide of the battle liable to fall either way— at any moment Then Union opened up with a series of criss-cross plays and of tackle thrusts w hich brought them w ithin striking distance of the goal, and then by a cleverly executed forward pass carried the ball across. It was then that the victory was not for Hobart. It was a clean and hard-fought contest, full of thrills for the spectators, and the better team won Union 21. Hobart 13. Gulick and Gaptain Budd bore the brunt of the backfield work for Hobart while in the line Barna and Moor were a bulwark on the defense On the following Saturday the Hobart team still feeling the sting of the defeat from the Glarkson team of 1926. had a chance to ease the pain of the bite. This year Glarkson met an altogether different team from the one that invaded their campus a year ago. The game w as nothing else if not all for Hobart. The line held as a stone wall and made openings that the backs were not slow to turn to advan- tage. The entire Hobart team appeared to have new life. Clarkson only too well realized that the deleat of the year before was to be avenged. The sensational broken field running of Gulick and the consistent line plunging of Budd together with the splendid work of the line made possible the 25-0 victory. Then came Alfred to Geneva fresh from a 50-0 defeat met at the hands of St- Bonaventure, and desirous of staging a come-back. Unfortunately they picked the wrong team at the wrong time, for the Orange and Purple had just found their stride In a game in which the score does not show justice to the plucky Alfred team the superior Hobart eleven had the upper hand at all times. The effective aerial attack was indeed spectacular, and resulted in the addition of many points to the already large score. When the final whistle sounded the result was Hobart 50—Alfred o. On November 5 Hobart stepped out of her class for the third time in the season. The team went to Hamilton, heralded as a weak opponent, but much to the sur- prise of Colgate, Hobart was not a weak team The first half of the game was played on even terms but Coach Hauser wishing to place the game as a sure victory sent in Shaughnessy, the star Colgate back Hobart then had their defensive work cut out for them, for Shaughnessy was a terrific line plunger. The game was marked with the stubborn defense of the plucky Hobart eleven: and Colgate w'as satisfied with old-fashion football, using at no time the whirlwind offense of which it was capable. The game ended with a 20 0 score for Colgate In the last game before the clash with Rochester. Hobart met her ancient foe. Buffalo University. The team was well started in preparation for the Thanks- giving Day classic, consequently the result was a 49 -o victory. The precision with which the backfield hit the line and then kept gaining was as mechanical as a well regulated machine. In this contest unlike that of the preceding week, the offense 20s had a chance to show its power, and at no time was defense play necessary. It was not that the Buffalo team was weak but only that Deac Welch had developed a team that would not be withheld. Then came the final game of the season at Rochester. Hobart 33—Rochester 7. This is the fifth consecutive victory of Hobart over the University of Rochester. The tale is too long to tell in detail. Suffice it to say that our team rose to the great- est heights that ever a Hobart team has attained. Playing the finest style of foot- ball. the Orange and Purple marched repeatedly down the field for a victory that places another jewel in the crown of Hobart athletics. The end of the first half found the team with a comfortable lead of 13-0. Then came the deluge. Hobart, refusing to be satisfied with the score of thirteen, began a triumphant march that resulted in the addition of fourteen more points. The only Rochester tallv came in the final period, and Hobart not to be out-done, succeeded in scoring the final touch-down of the game Muchof the success of the season wasduc to the fine work of Captain Olin Budd. who in his important position led the team gallantly onward in defeat and in victory. Together with Budd, however, is George Barna the Captain elect for 1928 Barna is without a doubt one of the greatest if not the greatest, players that Hobart College has ever developed. His playing has been one of the mainstays for the past three years. This year his playing was of such a caliber as to merit honorable mention in various All-American teams picked by the leading football coaches in the country. Diamond studded footballs were awarded to Captain Olin Budd and Arthur Whipple at the completion of four years of varsity football for their participation each year in a victory over Rochester. They are well deserving of the honor, and their names have been written in the golden book of Hobart College football. 209 � N Officers Vincent S. Welch ---------- - Coach Gervaise S.

In the opening game of the season at Colgate the Varsity, showing their lack of practice, lost 3S-21 Bollerman was the king-pin of the Col- gate team scoring live field baskets. Leader and Deubert played well making nine and eight points respectively. The second game was a 3b-11 victory over I lamilton Barrett playing a stellar game gave the team a lead that was never threatened The Syracuse game showed the strain of the two previous contests and the team was defeated 28 19 Hobart w as handicapped bv the loss of Barrett w ho w as forced to leave the game because of personal louls The trip as a w hole was a suc- cess for it showed that the schedule was to be looked forward to with anticipation. December 14 Cornell gained a decided victory over the Orange and the Pur- ple, defeating I lobart 45 25. The loss of Barrett who was unable to play in this game w as sorely felt, and the Cornell team scored almost at will December 1 b. In the first home game of the season Hobart met Alfred The game was fast but poorly played. Alfred gained the lead from the start and was never seriously threatened. Barna’s and Leader s best efforts did little to help the situation The two gathered ten points, Hobart's allotment in the first half. The final score was 2515 with Alfred on top January b I lobart playing the best game of the season, on a strange court was able to hold Buffalo to a small margin of eight points Hobart through the fast lloor work of Gulick and Leader outplayed Buffalo in the first three periods of the game In the last quarter the Bisons recovered their fighting five man attack and scored three baskets in rapid succession which placed them on the long end of a 24-ib score. January 11 St Lawrence with the strongest quintet in years administered a 34 27 defeat to the Orange and Purple. Hobart showed fine team work but was unable to find the basket at the opportune time The game was fast and clean at all times The line guarding of Barna. and the offensive playing of Gulick were the most not iceable features of the game for Hobart. January 13 Hobart's Varsity five playing fine basketball, dropped a close game to the University of Rochester the traditional rivals. 41-33 Deubert and Leader led the attack for Hobart, each playing his best game of the year Ehre and Tatelbaum played remarkable basketball for the yellow team, scoring ib points between them January 18. In the fastest game to be seen on the home court this year Hobart was defeated by Syracuse 49-17 All the thrills were furnished by the Orange w hose team play was like a machine Syracuse gained the lead early and 2 12 was threatened at no time in the game. Dcubert who had at last come into his own was the high scorer for Hobart February 9 Showing the effects of the lesson learned from the Syracuse team Hobart defeated Hamilton for the second time From the beginning of the contest Hobart was out in front, playing a superior offensive game. At times Hamilton would rally, but to noavail. the defense would tighten up. Hobart 32—Hamilton 24. February 11 It was the opinion that Hobart now hit her stride in the Clark- son game. The Orange and Purple launched such an attack the Clarkson guards could not hold them Leader, with Deubert as a running mate played a great game, and contributed to the 49 2b victory. February 14. Only three days later Clarkson smarting from the defeat early in the week retaliated and sent Hobart down by the close score of 32-25, February 15. In the second game of the two day trip Hobart lost to St. Lawrence at Canton 37 29. St. Law rence having one of the fastest teams that had been met in the season. Hobart was kept continually on the defense. The work of Barna and of Leader is deserving of praise. February 22 Rochester with its powerful five came to Geneva for the first time this season and repeated the defeat that it had pinned on Hobart, earlier in the year. The game as a characteristic Hobart-Rochester contest was fast and hard, but Rochester with the best team was ahead when the final whistle sounded 41-27. Rochester at the end of its season was awarded the championship of the Little 'fen. February 25 Hobart for the final spurt began playing real basketball For the first time in four years Hobart defeated Buffalo 32 -26. Completely reversing the order of last week's game Hobart was always on the offensive, and it was Buffalo who had to break up the formation The game was close and at no time with the exception of the last few minutes was Hobart more than four points ahead. Barrett w'as the high point winner with ten to his credit Leader and Deubert were tied for second honors w'ith eight apiece. March 3. With the advantage of only two points Hobart was able to defeat Alfred 40- 38 on their home court The game was marked by fine shooting on both teams. The pass work of Flobart was the best that has been shown. Barrett, Leader and Gulick played exceptionally fine basketball March 9. The final game with Colgate was by far the most exciting. Playing as if their life depended on the game Hobart emerged with a two point lead. The end of the regular playing time found the teams locked in a tie. The first extra five minutes failed to break it. In the second over time period the score would first fall one way and then the other. Deubert with less than a half minute to play shot a spectacular basket giving Hobart the game 41-39. The season while it has not been a brilliant one has been a success. With the loss of only one man on the squad, next year is looked forward to with great hope. Barrett. Leader and Deubert playing their third year of basketball are deserving of special mention for their fine work during the season. Barna playing a great game at guard was often responsible for a Hobart victory. Hageny and Gulick in their first year of varsity basketball played like veterans. Cross Country Officers Alfred L.

The team this year was composed of Griffiths, captain, Hoyt, Read, West- haver. Aitken and Westcott. Captain Griffiths is well deserving of great praise. He was at all times the backbone of the team. The meet with Rochester was the best of the year, Rochester winning 22-33. 21-1 Interfraternity Champions Interfraternity basketball assumed its important position during the dull winter months with even greater interest than ever. The games were all very close, and were not without excitement for the students. The end of the season found Phi Phi Delta, Delta Psi Omega and Sigma Pi Kappa in a triple tie for first position. In the final play-off Phi Phi Delta with a fast attack succeeded in gaining possession of the Treman-King Interfraternity trophy.

The crowning success of the season was the defeat of Dean Academy. The game was closely contested throughout, and was only won in the last few minutes of play. The playing of Captain McMichael together with the co-operation of Gal- braith, and the Marino brothers is well deserving of praise.
