WALSH GYM HOSTS DERBY SKATERS IN RINK ACTION When a group of people get together for the purpose of outmuscling each other and pleasing the crowd with a display of pushing, shoving, hair pulling, and as much violence as possible, one can be led to assume only one thing. The performers must be crazy to begin with. When the name of the game is Roller Derby, though, these factors are taken in stride. The pageant and spectacle of this roadshow carnival stoppe d at Seton Hall last November, thrilling a packed, frenzied Walsh Auditorium crowd with its trained cross between skill and chicanery. The Seton contest between the Jolters and the Chiefs was truly bedazzling. story by Lou Varga photos by Ev Granger

Each squad took turns as to who would have the upper hand, and at the final buzzer the Chiefs managed to pull out a victory by scoring enough points on their last jam to wipe out a late Jolter lead. There were numerous streaks of skating brilliance exhibited by both squads, but mainly they were intervals to the face-elbowing and rail fighting which is common to this game. In this sport the show gives it popularity and fan support. This aspect, along with television coverage, explains its ever increasing popularity. The carnival atmosphere through which meetings take place is drawing i ncreasing numbers of people to the arenas. Although the game of Roller Derby seems to border on a roadshow nature, there is still much talent evident. The performers must train at special schools before qualifying to participate in the league. The perfect coordination necessary to play makes this evident. There are numerous times when a skater must bob and weave through a pack of players, most of whom are trying to rough him up in the process. The skill at this and also the mastery of learning how to fall correctly after being hit makes one look with some awe upon the performers.
