Under the moderation of Rev.

The Le Moyne College linksmen last year and this fall have proved themselves to be among the top golf squads in the east. Last year the Dolphins were unbeaten against collegiate competition although they did suffer two losses against the ever powerful Sampson Air Force Base team. In the Fall of 1955 the Green and Gold golfers bested all the members of the M. E. C. C. A. in the first annual medal tournament. Henry Hoffman was the top man in the tourney and took medal honors with a score of 76. Siena played host for the match which included such schools as St. Bona-venture, St. Francis, Iona, and St. Peter's. The Dolphins are ably captained by Gus McNamara and find their best golfer in the person of john Bednarski who averages in the low 70's. Barry Fisher adds additional strength to the squad with an average of 78. The return of Dick Walser to the squad this season will aid con- siderably since he is regarded as the top young golfer in this area. Next season the squad will meet Syracuse and Cornell and should give a good account of themselves against this tough opposition. Fisher and Holifmair discuss shots

The leading scorers in the league were Letty Erwin, Bill,Farley and Tom Phillips. All-Star selections included Pete Del Giorno and Phillips at guards, Phil Hensberry at center and john Bednarski and jimmy Miller at forwards. These men were hard pressed for positions by such cagers as john Young, Dick Busching, jack Merrill and Ron Schultz. ln addition to basketball, the I-Mural program included for the first time this year a Volleyball tournament.

The event proved highly success- ful and will be carried out in 'future years for the added enjoyment of Le Moyne male students. In addition to the football and basketball programs, the I-Mural activity at Le Moyne is extended to Cross- Country and bowling. This year the bowling league was resumed and was carried out with a great deal of success. The league was composed of faculty members and both men and women students. A total of 16 teams signed up for play with the Gutter Splitters and The Four Hits and a Miss being the top squads. Vic Chini, senior accounting major, was the league pacemaker with a lofty 200 average. Felix Chichocki also was a top bowler. The year also saw the addition of a cross-country run to the I-Mural program. Seventeen hardy harriers braved the frosty November weather to vie against one another for the title. Being out of top condition, some were forced to drop out before the finish but Jack O'Neil, soph science student, pushed ahead with about 100 yards to go and grabbed the victory. jack O'Neil, l-Mural Victor Bowling Officers and Team Captains
