MCT Team Routs Shattuck, 19-0 Traveling to Shattuck on Friday, October 2, the C squad, under the capable coaching of Mr. Chapman, emerged victorious over the Shad freshmen team, 19-0. The game got off to a fast start when, on SPA's second play from scrim- mage, Andrews tossed a 40-yard pass to Whitman for the first touchdown. The extra point was made, making the score 7-0. The Acads followed this up by scoring one more touchdown in the first half, this time on a 60-yard run by Andrews. The game was cli- maxed in the second half as An- drews again scampered into pay dirt, this time on a 90-yard end run. ln this encounter, the team sparked by Collins, Milton, Sommers on defense, and on XVII S and offense as the scoring column in- dicates, by Andrews. The team spirit on the whole is quite good, and the results of this game indi- cate a very successful season ahead for the club.

He also coached J.V. basket- ball and baseball, and had good seasons in both sports. When we look at his athletic record in col- lege, we can see how he does the job. He was a letter winner in both baseball and basketball at Wil- liams, and in baseball at Holy Cross, and was a member of the football squads at both colleges. When asked what he wanted most to see at the Academy, he replied, 'tbigger and better football players on the J.V. squadfl It is easy to see why Mr. Scho- field has been so well accepted at the Academy. The younger boys no longer wait to attain the top two forms so that they are nearer to graduating. They want to get there so that they can take Mr. Scho's history.

NOW AND THEN Page 3 Coefficients S A TIPS SH TTUCK, 9-0 Explained By Frenzel This year marks an important change in the lower school athletic program. As many of the alumni and parents have made inquiries about the new system, I will at- tempt to explain it in some detail here. The three former squads, the A, B, and C teams, are replaced by the Acorns, Oak Leaves, and the Big Oaks. Aside from the change in names, the major difference lies in the personnel of each team. Under the old coefiicient system, the boys were classified on the var- ious teams in accordance with their height and weight. Thus the small- est boys would be on the C team, the next smallest on the B team, and so on up. The new system clas- sifies the boys according to forms. The Acorn teams are comprised of prep formers, the Oak Leaves of first formers, the Big Oaks of sec- ond formers. There are cases in which extremely large or small boys may play with the teams above or below him, however, as these are not numerous, competi- tion is still carried on mainly on a intra-form basis. Upon reaching his third form year, a boy may play with the second team or var- sity, providing that his athletic prowess warrants it, but it is more likely that he will again be on a form team, this time the freshmen or C squad. Here he will be playing under somewhat the same system as the first team, and here he will be introduced to his first outside competition. Another rather radical change is that all outside competition fi.e. the Blake games! has been cut out, and the teams are operating on a purely intramural basis. Objec- tions have been raised both to this and the former method of having two games with Blake each season, and have even brought up the ques- tion of competition with outside schools employing the same sys- tem. Yet the majority seems to be in favor of this program because of the classification of boys in an age group, rather than in a height- weight group. This year's Acorn teams are under the direction of Mr. Hunter, while the Oak Leaves and Big Oaks are coached by Mr. Hudson and Mr. Rogers respectively. The cap- tains of the squads are as follows: Acorns, Mullery and Platt, Oak Leaves, Roe and Osborn, Big Oaks, Ward and Beadie. The Now and Then staff wishes to extend its heartiest congratulations to Rick Driscoll on winning the captaincy of the 1953 SPA football team. Hoff Outruns Shads, Misses Ball-A Mayo Photo Concordia Holds By Pete Ward A highly overconfident SPA eleven played to a 14 to 14 tie in their first league tilt with Con- cordia Academy on Friday, October 25. Plagued throughout the game by penalties, the Acads had two crucial touchdowns called back. SPA fumbled twice, both resulting in touchdowns for the Comets. After an exchange of punts in the first quarter, the Bluesox scored on a pass from Jake Sea- bury to Tom Hoff which covered 40 yards. Hoff converted, making the score at the end of the quar- ter 7-0. SPA fumbled on a punt return with Concordia recovering on the Acad's 40-yard line. The Comets proceeded to drive the ball down to the nine yard line where Kramer scored on an off-tackle slant. Brehmer plunged over for the extra point. With thirty sec- onds left, the Bluesox scored on SPA to 14-14 Tie another 40-yard pass from Rod Bacon to Hoff. Hoff converted to give the Acads a 14-7 halftime ad- vantage. In the middle of the third period, Rahn picked up a loose fum- ble on the Comets 40-yard line and ran to the SPA 8-yard line where Pete Frenzel hauled him down from behind. The Comets then scored both the touchdown and the extra point making the score 14-14. With minutes remaining in the third quarter, Pete Frenzel went off cen- ter to score on a 50-yard touch- down romp, but the play was called back due to a clipping penalty. Both teams held firmly in the fourth quarter to knot it up at 14-14 as the gun went off ending the game. The Acads gained 290 yards on rushing and passing, while the Comets gained 150 yards. The Bluesox held a 12 to 7 advantage in first downs. By Thomas Hoff On Saturday, the 3rd of October, the SPA football team rebounded from its disappointing tie with Concordia to whip Shattuck 9-0. Having scouted the Shads well, the Acads set up an over-shifted de- fense which stifled the Shattuck running attack, while holding their passing game to almost no net gain. The two teams battled on somewhat even terms throughout the first quarter. The Bluesox be- gan to march in the second quar- ter, and reached the Shad 35. From there, Rod Bacon threw a beautiful pass to Tom Hoff at the five, and he scored untouched. Hoff's kick was good. In the second half, Jake Seabury injured on the first play and the game. The Acad offense was never quite able to get going, the defensive unit presented was left but a fine example of what fight and determination can do for a team, as they smothered an offense which, the week before, had run up 38 points. Only in the last quar- ter, when both teams became tired, did Shattuck put on a sustained drive. This carried them to the five yard line just as the game ended. Pete Frenzel led the offense in this victory, while Peter Ward, Don Opstad, and Johnny Morgan 'stood out on defense. lt was Ward who blocked a Shattuck punt which re- sulted in a safety, giving SPA its extra two points. This was un- doubtedly a fine team effort. Kemper Motor Co.

I Vol. XLVII Monday, October 26, 1953 No. 3 FACULTY PROFILES SPA DR M PROGRAM OUTLI ED EDMUND C. BRAY Edmund C. Bray came to the St. Paul Academy in 1951 and took over the Chemistry-Physics de- partment for the 5th and 6th forms, and also lower form science. Since he has been here, he has at- tained increasing popularity with both students and masters because of his amiable character and sharp sense of humor. His classes are extremely enlightening and have a certain scientific atmosphere which enables the students to take a real interest in their work. Mr. Bray was born in Taunton, Massachusetts. He attended Mid- dlebury College, Vermont, and re- ceived a Bachelor of Science de- gree. From there he went to Brown University and attained a Masters degree, and then went to Harvard and the University of Minnesota to work as a research assistant. He taught Science at Stanton Preparatory Academy pre- paring boys for West Point and Annapolis, and then went to North- wood school in Lake Placid to teach. After some time there, he was drafted. Later he was taken out of the army and appointed as a naval research physicist in Wash- fCont'd on page 21 Council Notes By Tom Milton The business of collecting for the United Appeal was finished with several forms exceeding their goals. With most of the money in, the problem of how much should be given to whom arose. After some discussion it was decided that S200 and S150 will be given to the Community Chest and the Red Cross, respectively. The remaining amount of the school total is to be divided among other organizations later. The Football Dance was set for November 6, the week following the Blake game. The Council de- cided to allow members of the Second Form to attend, and to send invitations to some outsiders. The prices were set and a Dance Com- mittee was to be led by Mayo. The Senior Class is responsible for suc- cess of the Dance, welcoming help from anybody. The program for the registration of student drivers With the Council is to be continued with some ad- fCont'd on page 41 Academy Members and Director of Drama Quartet: Driscoll, Mr. Chapman, Frenzel and Bacon, D. Advice Suggested Wheeler Company On Atomic Attack Wins Competition By Marsh Hastings Dr. Hanns Schwyzer spoke at the Academy on the ways we could help to cut down the casualties if there should be an atomic attack, there should be an atomic attack. He gave several rules which we should follow under any circum- stances. In the event of an alert, we should all go to the nearest base- ment and stay there until an all- clear was given. A battery radio in the shelter would tell how much time was left until the plane would reach the cities, and, no matter how much time was left until this time, we should not attempt to leave our shelters. In the shelter, we should go to the corner nearest the center of the explosion and stay there. There should be enough food and water in the shelter to last for several days, and other helpful articles would be an axe and a first-aid kit. All windows should be closed with blankets over them to cut down the danger of flying glass. The main switch of the house should be pull- CCont'd on page 23 Once again the sharp screams of the officers cut the fall air. The deep red face of the platoon com- mander contrasted to the pale white face of the new cadet or the cold mask of the older boys in the ranks. These are the scenes which take place every Tuesday, Wednes- day, and Thursday. The first test of the companies was to take place Tuesday, October, 13. However, due to an officers meeting, the date was moved back one day. Thus Wednesday, October 14, the first platoons took the field against one another in competition. After the battle, Stafford's first platoon from Wheeler emerged victorious with Varney second and Boyke and Gervais tied for third. All the pla- toons showed many weaknesses. However, these are being remedied in a great hurry by hopeful officers. On the next day, the second pla- toons entered competition. The screams were more profound, but when the smoke cleared the results were as follows: Second platoon Wheeler came out on top, fCont'd on page 41 By Dick Hoskins The other day, through an inter- view with Mr. Chapman, your re- porter learned of a very interest- ing program concerning drama for this year. It seems that the fall dramatics program is not yet in definite shape. However, the pro- gram will definitely commence with the try-outs on Thursday, October 22. The fall play is sched- uled for the evenings of November 21 and 22. fThe play is a comedy entitled, Father of the Bride, by Edward Streeter.J Besides the fall play there are other interesting drama and public speaking events planned. One new and very progressive program is the proposed Drama Quartet. The group, as now planned, would be composed of Rick Driscoll, Don Bacon, Pete Frenzel, and a Summit School student who would be pick- ed out at Summit drama trials, Wednesday, October 21. This quar- tet will have a highly interesting program in the Way of drama. The plan is most interesting since it represents an innovation on the part of Mr. Chapman. We all know fCont'd on page 42 . Date Decided for Football Dance The Football Dance will open the social season this year at the Academy. The student council has set the date for November, 6. The dance will be held from 8:30 un- till the customary 12:00 deadline. Forms two through six are invited, but the second Formers may stay only until 11:00. The admission charge is 51.00 per couple and 51.25 stag for the upper Forms, but second Form will pay 30.75 per pair and 81.00 for the lone wolves. Any proceeds will go to the Stu- dent Council Fund, although the dance is primarily a non-profit function. The affair will be in the Wheeler Gymnasium to the music of John Junkin and his band. This is the first of three dances throughout the school year, the Christmas Party and the spring Now and Then Dance being the other two. We hope you all come and enjoy yourselves at the 1953 Football Dance.
