Summer jobs called most Loyolans from their books each year. Some were paid for doing strange things like string- ing gas masks on a line at ROTC Camp.

This Year With the Greyhounds The swimming team and the soccer team provided the top thrills among Loyola ' s 1960-61 entries in Mason-Dixon conference com- petition. Intramurals rounded out the balanced athletic program. by John M. Jordan T in sports program at Evergreen is an integral part of the school activity. Loyola College is a member of the Mason-Dixon conference and sup- ports ten teams in intercollegiate athletics, a number which compares favorably with. schools much larger than Loyola. The emphasis in athletics has always been on par- ticipation by the individual rather than on excellence of a particular team or teams. No one who shows the proper desire and a reasonable amount of ability is ever turned away from a Greyhound team. The policy of wide participation is not to be taken as condoning satisfaction with mediocrity. Through the years Loyola has fielded fine teams in all sports. This year, Mason-Dixon laurels were accorded Bill Klarner’s swimming team. I The year 1961 marked the end of an era at Ever- green with the retirement of Emil “Lefty ” Reitz as coach of the basketball team. “Lefty” first came to Loyola over twenty years ago, and during his tenure here he has coached several Mason-Dixon champions and conference all-stars. He will continue to serve as baseball coach and as athletic director, the man re- sponsible for the smooth functioning of the whole sports program. Taking over the reins of the basketball team will be Ed “Nappy” Doherty, one of “Lefty’s” former players who returned to take the post of assistant athletic director. For the past several years, “Nappy” has been coach of the freshman basketball team, and he is well qualified for his new responsibility. In addition to a full schedule of intercollegiate sports, Loyola also sponsors an intramural program under “Nappy” Doherty for those who lack the time for the training required for the Greyhound varsity teams. Over half the student body participates in this program, which embraces touch football, bowl- ing, basketball, swimming, softball, and— new this year— track. V arsity sports, although primarily for participa- tion, attract their share of spectator interest. During the 1960-61 season the interest of spectators tended to focus on certain individuals and certain teams. These pages have the same selective optics. The story of the 1960 cross-country team is largely the story of Rick Frampton, the sensational freshman who set a new course record in every dual meet he entered. Returning from last year’s all-conquering squad were Lew Smith, Tom Kenney, Brian Mc- I Sensational freshman Rick Frampton leads the way up Cold Spring lane en- route to a late-season victory. The amaz- ing novice captured first place in ev- ery meet in which he was entered, broke every course record he challenged, led team-mates three times to victory. 20
