NOW AND THFN Page 3 SPA Sextet Loses Ground ln League The SPA hockey team lost valu able ground ln MISL COmpetl tlon as Bl ike admlmstered two de feats to the club and Shattucks Les Canadiens knocked them off once Howex er all was not gloomy as the pucksters had the satlsfac tlon of dumping Breck who at that tlme was leadlng the league and appeared destined to be the 56 M I S L hockey champs In the two Blake games the Academy was out fought out played and out scrapped at every turn as the Hxlltoppers won easlly by scores of 5 0 and 6 2 In each case Mlke Hollern was Blake s blg gun as he collected four goals 1n each game The first perlod of the first game was reasonably close as the score stood 0 0 at the whlstle But after that Blake pulled steadxly away At one pomt ln the second game SPA was be hmd only 2 1 and It appeared that there might be a chance for an up set but again Hollern wrapped thlngs up w1th a couple of goals ln the third perlod The Academy counters were scored by Pedersen and Beadle The Breck game was undoubted ly one of the finest games played by an SPA hockey team 1n the past few years as the Academy out fought Hutchinson and Co from the opemng whistle The Acads Jumped to a 1 0 lead early 1n the first perlod on a goal by Dave MacKay The lead was upped to a two goal margan ln the second stanza wlth Frank Ward scoring Breck scored their first goal towards the end of the second pe rlod as the Mustangs began to wake up and start to ser1ously press goalle Tom Mllton for the first txme The third period pro vlded actlon enough even for the most dyed 1n the wool hockey fans as shots h1t the posts tempers Hared and scorlng threats by both teams were folled by the brllllant goal tending of Tom Mllton, and Brecks Bob Brown The Acads lead was mcreased to a two goal margln when Pedersen countered early 1n the period However that lead was qulckly dissipated goals scored by HUtCh1HSOD and Allen Thls set the stage for the final cllmav as MacKav scored h1s second goal of the afternoon there by making himself official hero for the day This goal proved to be Comphments of cr FRIEND IGS' if q -1- F229 ,L Two Down, One To Go' Hilltoppers Halted G ares., 'sm the decldlng margin 1n the game as SPA won 4 3 In a game of th1s sort lt IS urtually 1mpOSS1bl6 to hand out pralse to some wlthout shghtlng others who also played an xmportant part 1n the vxctory but certainly one of the mam fac tors 1n the victory was the sterl1ng defensive exhlbltlon that was put on by goalle Tom Mllton who made several stops borderlng on the 1m possible and by his two defense men Charc and Frank Ward both of whom cleared the puck beautl fully all day and definltely relleved Wheel of much of the burden that was placed on him After the Breck game the squad journeyed down to Shattuck where they lost a utal game to The Wmmpeg Wanderers There was perhaps a trace of over confidence 1n this contest as the club was r1d 1ng on hlgh after the upset over Breck The Shads qulckly d1s proved any susplclons as to the ab1l1ty of then' hockey team as they Jumped to a two goal advantage ln the first perlod The Acads dldnt really recover unt1l the thlrd perlod when they managed to tle lt up 4 4 But ln the last two mm utes of play Ron Barbour scored tw1ce thus pulling the Shads out of danger The final score was 6 4 Pedersen scored two goals MacKay got one and Beadle got one to round out the scorxng of SPA J V Basketball By Grant Nelson The JV Basketball team man aged to w1n only one of thelr last four games Although the Acads looked well at tlmes they were unable to put together two good halves When the JV s are able to master th1s p1oblem they will find the golng much easler Traxelllng to Pillsbury the Acads played thelr best game of the season exen though loslng 36

JV s played good ball at times they were unable to cope with the more powerful Blake team Flustered and hampered by a small court the Acads lost to Breck 40 19 on the opponent s fioor Plavmg Pillsbury tgam the JV s won by a 22 18 score The Acad emy plaved perhxps 1ts best first half of the season wlth the score at halftime readlng 18 12 IH favor of the blueshlrts Although Pllls bury tied the score at 18 18 late 1n the last perlod two quick SPA baskets gate the Acads the vlctory Varslty Basketball By Hal Roach On Tuesday January 17th the Acads lost a close ball game to Blake The game was tled at the end of the half 22 22 From there on It was closely fought untll 1n the last mmute two free throws were made by Blake to break the '39 all tie An intercepted pass net ted them two pomts and from there thev protected their lead and won 43 '39 King Andrews and Tlm Armstrong were high pomt men for the Academy The Acads then lost to Breck by a score of 58 45 The Acads were never close to catchlng Breck after the opening whistle Poor shooting by the Academy enabled Breck to p1le up a substantial margin and when the Acads began to hit 1n the final quarter they could not overcome the deficlt Mlke Arm strong paced the Academy with 1? points followed by King An drews and Tlm Armstrong with 11 apiece On Saturday the 28th the Acads Jourmed to Shattuck only to come out on the short end of a 74 34

119' W1 New ,, PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE ST PAUL ACADEMY ST PAUL MINN Vol XLVIV Frrday, March 9 1956 No 6 MR READ VISITS COLLEGES On the evenlng of February 22 Mr Read gave h1s annual talk on the colleges which he and Mr Briggs had v1s1ted on the1r eastern tr1p He was pleased to see present so many parents of boys who had graduated several years before Aside from them there were four mam subclasses of llsteners the first were the parents of boys who had graduated last year they wished to hear any news of the1r boys Next were the parents of present seniors at the Academy they wlshed a word on the matter of acceptance for their sons The third group consrsted of the parents of present junrors at the Academy who wlshed to know about the whole question of appl1cat1ons as rt appl1es to the class of 57 The final class was made up of three senrors from the Now and Then staff who had come 1n hopes of free food Although the number of colleges v1s1ted was somewhat lrmrted by attendmg or planning to attend the rtmerary of the trip was quite rmpressrve It mcluded 11 colleges two alumm meetrngs and the Head masters Association which lasted two days The tr1p began on Feb 5 when Mr Read boarded a tram for Chicago to attend the alumni meetmg there After spendlng the mght in the Wmdy Clty he pushed on to h1s first college stop At Pennsylvania he was entertarned by Pete Ward and Nell Mogllner The next step rn hrs seven league boots took hlm to New York, and another alumni meetmg From there he journeyed to Hartford Conn and Trmlty College where he was shown around by Phil and Dick French in the1r MG After this harrowlng experience he moved on to Yale where he enjoyed per fect attendance at the undergrad uate meetmg, an unprecedented oc currence The next two days were spent talking shop at the head masters conventlon the hlghhght of which was a speech by the con sultmg psychratrrst from Phrlllps Exeter Academy on the subject of Psychiatry and Educatlon Fol lowing this he v1s1ted Brown Um versity and then on to Cambridge and Harvard and MIT The com brned SPA forces from these schools met with Mr Read and offered several suggestions whrch they felt would help to better pre pare the present Acads for college life Paraphrased the suggestlons boil down to more and harder work On to Amherst and Ed Srmger and Knobby Wlnter The followrng phase of his tr1p was concerned wrth W1ll1amS College where he saw Sarge Kyle and Weed Seymour Rick Dr1scoll and Johnny Holman were away at a hockey game at the trme The next v1s1t was perhaps one of the more rn terestrng ones he was welcomed, on his first tr1p to Mlddlebury not by Academy graduates, but by srs ters of present students He was xery ably shown about by Carol Davis and Bonnle Marrs At Dart mouth he saw Tom Brackett and dlscovered that S1 Ford was the proud possessor of mononucleosrs For the final stop on his trip Mr Read went to Princeton where he was entertained by Ed Drlworth and John Scott Here too there was 100W attendance on the part of the old grads In closlng he read two artrcles on the subject of col Dean Warren of Columbla He Sald We are entrtled to expect that col lege graduates be able to read ar gumentatrve or expository prose swiftly, comprehendrngly, and re lentlessly that he be able to ex press himself 1n speech and writ mg grammatlcally lxterately and precisely that he has learned the basic lesson of us1ng a drctronary But we have found that few of our entering students, however carefully selected possess these skrlls to the extent needed for law study What IS scarcely less d1sturb1ng rs that there 1S no common core of knowledge that should be rn the firm quret possession of every per son who lays claim to a lrberal educatron And he ends up by say1ng even the most toler ant of cr1t1cs w1ll concede that whatever be the arts of whlch the students are bachelors wr1t1ng IS t one of them The second was put out by the Dartmouth Medlcal School which concurred wlth Dean Warrens In closlng Mr Read sald that he had a very enjoyable tr1p and had found the boys more mature and wrth more ralsed mterests than pr1or to the1r graduation He said he was glad to be back but that he looks forward to next years tr1p NSIT Photography Contest In the mterests of st1rr1ng up mterest in photography land dlS coxermg 1 new Now and Then strff photogrrpherl we rnstltute thc Now
