Mdssdsoit CAMPUS L ' Jt u - M . The Future Springfield Future Springfield Springfield College has adopted a ten year program of organized expansion which when completed, should make our campus one of the most beautiful in New England. Plans for future work have been completed according to the architectural design on the preceding pages and another decade should show marvelous changes on the campus of Springfield. The construction of Alumni Hall in 1926 introduced the proposed program. This building formally opened in September 1927, accommodates 264 students. It commands the finest view possible of Massasoit Lake and the Wilbraham Hills. Under the proposed plan, Hickory Street, which divides the campus into two sections, will be changed to the present site of South Field, thus making the campus a unified area. The next step will be the construction of an auditorium to serve for all college assemblies. During past years all chapel meetings, forums and rallies have been confined to the inadequate conditions which East and West Gymnasiums offer. With the presence of the beautiful auditorium proposed, all future affairs of these occasions shall be well accommodated. The mammoth Athletic Unit designed to house all indoor athletic activities will adjoin the present gymnasiums on the south. The facilities to be provided in this unit will include an immense cage, swimming pool, field house, gymnasiums and locker rooms. Modern equipment will be furnished in all sections of this building. The situation of the Athletic Unit with respect to the campus as a whole, necessi- tates the concentration of new buildings within a limited area. Because of this it has been difficult to develop a scheme which would not involve the destruction of at least one building, and the plan as proposed necessitates the unavoidable demolition of the Administration Building, which is at present the most undesirable building on campus. In its place will be constructed a new Administration Building, which will house all offices of the faculty and department heads. A Hall of Sciences will be placed south of the Athletic Unit, and in this build- ing will be located various classrooms, lecture halls and laboratories. A dormitory will be erected east of the auditorium. This construction will be very similar in plan to Alumni Hall. The home of the president will be changed from its present site to a position south of the auditorium. The proposed buildings will be constructed about a beautiful park which will command the center of the campus. The complete realization of this program will be fulfilled in the future. — the present plans are evidence of that. The future of our college is assured, and a bright future it will be. When the construction of a new Springfield nears completion, its beauty and charm will be the just pride of every alumnus and undergraduate. ADMINISTFATION PRESIDENT LAWRENCE L.

Only through the efforts and co-operation of the faculty is this desirable result made possible.

THE MASSASOIT - [ 43 ] 144 ] THE MASSASOIT - !€ £« Senior Class Robert B. Edwards President Donald M. Wilson Pice-President Paul C. Hartman Secretary Harrison B. Mosher ■ Treasurer Robert B. Edwards We entered Springfield in September, 1925, to be severely humiliated. The Sophomores held the whip and surely used it to aid in the process of assimilation. We wore the green neck-ware for the first time that it decorated the necks of Springfield men. Despite all of these humiliating influences, we came through and gave the Sopho- mores a wet defeat in the rope-pull. Both the flag rush and the cane rush were bitterly contested battles, and our warriors bowed to their oppressors. We were sorely de- jected and lacked the real class spirit. But, when we were exiled to the far shores of Lake Massasoit, we found there the true strength of unity, and returned with an indomitable fighting spirit that was carried over into our Sophomore year. During the Sophomore year, we demonstrated this fighting spirit by making all of the interclass scraps, victories for the class of ' 29. It became our duty to initiate the incoming class into the mystic circle of King Massasoit. This we did in good form and continued to deal with them as we had been dealt with. The following year we accepted the role of upperclassmen. Our classmates began to assume the positions of the leaders on campus. Our interests turned from the petty differences of an underclassman’s life, and we became interested in the government and administration of our student life. We were preparing for the greater work after graduation. Our year book was a great success and the Prom brought to a close a year of commendable attainments. And now we are seniors. The time has passed quickly. Our accomplishments are an open book. Throughout the following pages our deeds are recorded. [+ 5 ] THE MASSASOIT - I€ £9 PHILIP CHARLES BAKE, B.S. Phil Lawrence, Mass. Graduate of Lawrence Lligh School ; Assistant Employ- ment Manager; Assistant Manager Baseball; Deputa- tion Team. “Phil” presents the long and short of it to us. Noted for Fords and other musical instruments. He spent one year away from Springfield, serving as Building Boys Work Secretary at the Lawrence “Y”. OMER KENNETH BAKER, B.H. Ken Springfield, Mass. Graduate of Commerce High School, Springfield, Mass. Cosmopolitan Club, 3, 4; Scimitar Club, 2, (Secretary) 3; Freshmen Week Committee, 2, 3, 4; New England Field Council, 3; Cabinet, 3; Religious Committee, 4; Editor, 1927 Massasoit; Secretarial Chapel Committee, 4. We missed something about campus last year and then “O. K.” returned to our midst. He specializes in lofty conversations and movie machines. CANDIDO C. BARTOLOME, B.S., M.A., B.P.E. Hart Tanay, Rizal, Philippine Islands Graduate of University of Philippines; Treasurer Cosmopolitan Club; Inter Class Tennis and Soccer; Var- sity Swimming, 4. From the distant Philippines “Bart” invaded our cam- pus. He has taught us many things besides how to handle a Ford. A cheerful smile for everyone; is wont to hide himself awav in a book. “Bart likes everyone and everything, so likewise does everyone enjoy “Bart”. L+6] THE MASSASOIT — !€ £ « ROBERT DUNCAN BELL, B.P.E. Red Hasbrouck Heights, N. J. Graduate of Hasbouck Heights High School; Fresh- men Football; Jr. Varsity Football, 2; Varsity Football, 3, 4; Track Squad, 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club, 3, 4; Physical Department Committee, 4; Congress, 3; Class Social Chairman, 4; Social Committee, 3, 4; McKinley Literary Society, 2. ‘“Red”, a flash with the pigskin, but still a fellow that cannot be compared with anyone. The Juniors particularly believe that Red” will be a great football coach. He also added another Ford to our fleet. CARL HERBERT IVAR BERGQUIST, Swede Manchester, N. H. B.P.E. Manchester High School ; Springfield Prep School ; In- terclass Football, 1, 2, 3, 4. Starting early in the game of Setting-up” exercises, “Swede has cracked many a fellow students’ back set- ting up pins at the “Y” bowling alleys. They have all forgiven him however, hoping that they will receive an invitation to spend a quiet sojourn at his country estate on Massabesic Lake in the foothills of old New Hampshire, where all good Fords find their nemisis. JOHN H. BEUKEMA, B.P.E. Reuk Grand Rapids, Michigan Graduate of Central High School, Grand Rapids. Freshmen Football; Varsity Swimming, 3, 4; Varsity Track Squad. Summer camps hold the main attraction for “Beuk”. The brute in the bathing suit has often splashed his wav to victory in the McCurdy Natatorium. He learned to swim when the dikes collapsed in Holland. [ 47 ] THE MASSASOIT- CARLETON JULIUS BIRCHER, B.S. Birch Watertown, N. Y. Graduate of Watertown High School ; Deputation Team, 1, 2, 3, Manager 4; Assistant Manager Track, 1 ; Treasurer Boy’s Work Group, 4. “Birch is first here and then there! Bake’s shadow! He has a great weakness for sodas, sundaes and the like, although we all realize that it is merely an avoca- tion. “Birch is one of the inmates of “Hells-Kitchen”, hol ding this position of pride for two years past. JOHN GEORGE BOHN, B.F.E. Johnnie Princeton, N. J. Graduate of Princeton High School; McKinley Liter- ary Society; Lacrosse, 3, 4; Soccer, 3, 4; New Jersey State Club. “Now when I used to handle sodas for Princeton Men.” Yes “Johnnie” hails from Princeton but has also left his mark at Rutgers. He is noted for La- crosse and other bat swinging combats. DAVID MORGAN BOYD, B.P.E. Dave Johnstown, Pa. Graduate of Ferndale High School, Johnstown, Pa. Freshman Football and Track; Varsity Football, 2, 3, 4; Penn Relays, 4; Pennsylvania State Club, 2, 3, (Presi- dent) 4; Massasoit Staff;; Examiner American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. “Dave always looks as though he were going some place, dressed fit to kill”. He has a different form when leaping the hurdles or doing the quarter. The women like him no matter what his attire. THE MASSASOIT- I?£9 ANDREW NAISMITH BROWN, B.P.E. A ndy Worcester, Mass. Graduate of South High School, Worcester; Freshman Varsity Swimming Team; Varsity Swimming 2, 3, (Cap- tain) 4; Jr. Varsity Soccer, 3; Tutor in Swimming, 3; Tutor in Soccer, 4; Examiner American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. Swimming is his specialty and he can stay right with the rest of them in the tank. Does’nt believe in break- ing training either, like all good Boy Scouts. Silent cheer for Troop 2. “Andy” has established a remarkable record in ath- letics and studies during his four years in Springfield. CLAYTON S. BROWN Clayt Staten Island, N. Y. Graduate Academy Department, American Interna- tional College; Assistant Track Manager; Weidensal Literary Society, 1. See that little collegian over there, the one with the felt hat, glasses, and a shiny forehead? Well that’s “Clayt . Does’nt say much in classes or along academic lines, but he has plenty of stories and puns for all of us. ROBERT WILLIAM BUCHNER, B.P.E. Buck Morristown, N. J. Graduate of Morristown High School; Freshman Soc- cer and Baseball; Jr. Varsity Soccer 2, 3, Varsity 4; Jr. Varsity Baseball, 2, 3; Lacrosse 4; Interclass Base- ball; Certified Basketball Official. “Buck” holds sway in the First Aid Room where he works off excess energy, treating, through rubbing, “char- ley-horse” and other muscular maladjustments. Believes in retaining the dignity of the profession by hiding his complexion behind a two day’s growth. [ 49 ] THE MASSASOIT - 19 9 MAXWELL HAYES BUCKLEY, B.P.E. Buck Ilion, New York Graduate of Ilion High School; Class Football and Baseball; Congress, 4. “Buck” says there is no place like Ilion. There could’nt be. At least he believes in going back there often enough. Despite his haste to get there he always finds time to make an important stop-off. Even with all this he sure can drag down the marks. FRED BAKER BURBANK, B.P.E. Burby Perth Amboy, N. J. Graduate of Perth Amboy High School ; McKinley Literary Society, 2; Varsity Track, 2; Freshmen Track; Freshmen Gym Team; New Jersey State Club. Fred’s mind is divided between work and New Jersey. He stays in nights to keep his typewriter going and also to feed the sweet tooth of his colleagues. Anyone who drops into his room can receive all of the candy that his money can buy and a little first hand information on politics in New Jersey to boot. CARLOS ENRIQUE BUTLER. B.S. But Carney’s Point, New Jersey Graduate of Pennsgrove High School, Pennsgrove, N. J. Although a Secretarial man “But” has that sixth sense of abilities and has become a masseur beyond jeer. He is the one man on campus who still has abso- lute faith in the King Street Car. THE MASSASOIT - I929 ■n RALPH I. CANTWELL, B.P.E. Cant Springfield, Mass. Graduate of Central High School, Springfield; Fresh- man Football; Jr. Varsity Soccer, 4; Congress, 4; Ex- aminer American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. The boy with the artistic temperament. We expect to find him all set up in Greenwich Village in a few years. Oh yes, models and everything. He does find time now and then to do a little printing, — that is when his duties of first aid are idle. THOMAS C. CARTER, B.H. Nick Worcester, Mass. Rockville High School, Rockville, Conn.; South Man- chester Trade School; Springfield Prep School; Fresh- man Manager Basketball; Assistant Manager Basketball, 2; Assistant Manager Freshman Cross-Country; Mana- ger Freshman Hockey; Freshman Soccer. “Order of buttered toast.” “Right,” comes “Nick’s” voice from the kitchen. And in a few minutes one has the desired morsel. He may need this talent some day unless he is sure that she can do the job properly. KENNETH CARPENTER CHAPIN, B.P.E. Chick Chicopee Falls, Mass. Graduate of Chicopee High School; Freshman Track; Jr. Varsity Soccer, 2-3; Varsity Soccer, 4; Varsity Track, 2-3-4; Tutor Track and Soccer; Varsity Club. Chicopee Falls may be in the other world to some people but to “Chick”, with his trusty “Chevy”, this great distance means nothing. He manages, even though the roads are sometimes in an awful condition, to get to his destination on time, even when doing duty on Tour One at the Railway Mail Service. [ 51 ] THE MASSASOIT - 1929 CHARLES RAYMOND CHURCH, B.A., B.P.E. Charley Whittier, California Graduate of Boise High School; B. A. Whittier Col- lege; College of Idaho; University of Southern Cali- fornia; University of California, Extension; Examiner American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. “Charley, the Bandmaster from California. Yes, Charley went out for football this year, and he tried hard. We are inclined to believe that “Charley” has vast interests in California other than climate. DANIEL NUNGCHIN CHOY, B.P.E. Dan Pyengyang, Korea Graduate of Dubuque University High School; Dubu- que University; Varsity Soccer, 3, 4; Varsity Wrestling Squad, 3; Cosmopolitan Club, 2, 3, 4; Deputation Team 3, 4. The mark of distinction that “Dan carries has been justly earned on the Soccer Field. He carries this Hash into all of his work, and proves the wiry agility of his body, when he takes his place on the wrestling mat. GARRETT AUSTIN CLARK, B.P.E. T uhby Skaneateles, N. Y. Graduate of Skaneateles High School; Freshman Foot- ball, Basketball and Baseball; Varsity Football, 2-3-4; Varsity Baseball, 2-3-4; Varsity Basketball, 2-3; Var- sity Club, 3-4; Weidensall Literary Society. Hail to the coach of the Junior Varsity. He gives them the same fighting spirit that he displays at “guard”. “Tubby” has thoughts of happiness and pleasure dur- ing his mental visits to the city of Kingston. [ 52 ] THE MASSASOIT 1 I JOSEPH CORNELIUS CLARKE, B.P.E. Joe Westfield, N. V. Graduate of Westfield Bligh School; Freshman Foot- ball; Varsity Football, 3, 4; Varsity Swimming, 3, 4; Interclass Football; Tutor Football and Swimming; Varsitv Club, 4; Congress, 4; Student Store Committee, 4; Religious Supervisor, 4. “All aboatd for Boston” they make them right, down there. Has been caught hand-shaking next year’s Foot- ball Captain. Guess he expects to get a pass to a home game. CALVIN CHAUNCEY COBB, B.P.E. Cobby Webster, N. Y. Graduate of Webster High School; Freshman Wrestl- ing; Freshman Manager of Football; Manager Varsity Football, 4; Hildebrandt Masonic Club; New York State Club; Lacrosse, 3; White Arrow Club. “Chauncey” is short and stubby physically, but is a big man for his size. His greatest weakness beyond the managerial limits is for cars. He has favored our limited contacts, bv bringing into our environs, all kinds and makes of “woul d be” cars (?). Graduate of Groveland High School; Track, 1,2; Football, 2, 3, 4; Lacrosse, 3, 4; Wrestling, 1, 3, 4; Instructor Football; Examiner American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. Did you hear a loud noise? “Cece” has just had a slight provocation. It soon will be over and quiet will reign supreme for a great duration of time. He is wont to hard work on the Lacrosse field or on the Wrestling mat. CECIL HERBERT COCHRANE, B.P.E. Cece Groveland, Mass. [ 53 ] THE MASSASOIT - CLAYTON ASHLEY COLCORI). B.S. Levi Belfast, Maine Graduate of Belfast High School; Freshman Football; Interclass, Football, Soccer, Basketball and Swimming; McKinley Literary Society, 3, (Secretary) +; State of Maine Club, 2, 3; Student Cooperative Store Staff, 3, 4; Summer School Manager, 1928; Secretary Senate, 4; Examiner American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. “Clayt” is another of our great business men. He had a feeling that there was a bit too much to him so he had his appendix taken out. He has noteworthy ambi- tions which we prophecy will all be realized in the future. GEORGE ROLAND CROSMAN, B.P.E. Rollie Lisbon Falls, Maine Graduate of Lisbon F-Ils High School; Varsitv Track, 4; Baseball Squad, 3; Wr stling Squad, 3; Maine State Club. “Doc Hopkins owes a great deal of his practical experience to George and his maladies. George nearly decided to make the infirmary his permanent abode. Just another “Maniac”, and say the roads sure are sandy up there. PAUL GILMAN CROWELL, B.P.E. 1 G. Concord, New Hampshire Graduate of Concord High School, Freshman Hockey and Track (Captain). White Arrow Club; Varsity Hockey 2, 3, 4; Captain 3; Varsity Track 2, 3, 4; Var- sity Football 3, 4; Secretary-Treasurer Hildebrandt Square and Compass Club, 3. See that pigskin flying through the air, “P. G.” probably furnished the impetus that sent it on its cour.e. As a skater he surely can make the puck and ice-chips fly. Just a smile and a grin, that can come from no other than from “P. G.’’ THE MASSASOIT - I9 9 CHARLES FRED CUTLER, B.P.E.

VERNE EDWARD FLOOD, B.P.E. Floody Farmington, Mass. Graduate of Farmington High School. Farmington Summer School, 1924-25; Harvard Summer School 1926. Class Baseball, Football, Track, Basketball and Soccer. A flash of red and “Verne” steps out of his Ford. No need to worry where he has spent the evening. One can ' t help being concerned about all of the fair damsels who liked his colors and his lingo. He says that his Ford has two gears so one can’t expect too much from it. ■■I [ 57 ] THE MASSASOIT - I« £9 axel kror forsllnd, b.p.e. Ack Brooklyn, N. Y.

Fritz wants to know if any one here has seen Mary. We give him the benefit of the doubt while the “kids at the Boys’ Club are the butt for his wrath. He still has us guessing about the logic of breaking one ' s toe while riding in a pullman car. ROBERT ALLEN GARLAND, B.P.E. Hob Center Conway, New Hampshire Graduate of Kennett High School; Interclass S occer, Basketball; and Baseball; Congress, 3, 4.

He likes to take his tasks as easily as possible. During his Senior year “Johnnie” decided to indulge in a bit of coaching thus the success of the Frosh Hockey Team.

Graduate of Manual Training High School; Manager Varsity Soccer, 4; Manager Freshman Soccer, 3; Manager Jr. Varsity Soccer, 2; Varsity Lacrosse, 3; (Captain) 4; Congress, 4; New York State Club; American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. “Rain” or any outburst and general “diviltry” can easily be traced to some pet concoction of “Ed’s”. Spends the rest of his time showing the boys of New England just how this game Lacrosse should be played. NORMAN E.

M. C. A. The whizz of a Chrysler, the glimpse of a fur coat, a muffled titter, and it is a sure bet that “Norm” is on the war path again. It may be hard waiting for the kick-off, but it is still harder being propped up, with “Doc Hopkins hovering about. THE MASSASOIT I9£ 9 ■■■■■■MM RUSSELL JOHN KNAUSS, B.P.E. Russ Allentown, Pa.

Oh yes, Walt transfered from Chicago, he liked Chicago very much and hopes to go back. He has won a name for himself on the platform and has developed an entertaining sense of humor. When you can’t find “Walt” just ask the operator for the “Y. W. and there you will find him if he has time to talk. LADISLAUS LAKY, B.S. Ladi Budapest, Hungary Real School, Diva, Budapest; Higher Commercial School, Budapest; Cosmopolitan Club, 3, Vice-President, 4; Examiner, American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. “Ladi” has only been with us two years, but we will surely miss him when he leaves this Spring for Hungary. Has a great deal of talent for Art Metal work and di- vides his time between studies, his Art Metal work, and the American International College. DONALD CLENDENING LARGE, B.P.E. Don Brooklyn, N. Y. Graduate of Manual Training High School; McKinley Literary Society; New York State Club; Congress, 3, 4; Soccer, 1. 4; Lacrosse, 2, 3, 4. As if to offset the noise made by his roommate, “Don” is decidedly quiet. He took a great interest in that old Indian game Lacrosse and spent many an hour chasing the ball on the south field. In the fall he bent his efforts to Soccer and won a place for himself. Would rather do than say. THE MASSASOIT 1929 SPONSLER H. LIMBAUGH, B.P.E. Hank Jersey Shore, Pa. Graduate of Jersey Shore High School; Freshman Football; Varsity Football, 3, 4; Jr. Varsity Lacrosse, 3; Varsity Club; Pennsylvania Club; Woods’ Hall Com- mittee; Class Wrestling and Track; American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. The big boy from Jersey Shore. “Hank’’ was the fight- ing center on the College Eleven and nearly every scrape found him mixed up in it somewhere. Always laughing, with that characteristic grin that only “Hank knows how to use. RONALD W. LINDEMANN, B.P.E. Lindy Staten Island, N. Y. C.

He started in hazing Freshman and is now the famous Basketball coach for the Class of ’32. CLIFTON EUGENE LORD, Cliff North Brooksville, Maine B.H. Graduate Coburn Classical Institute, Waterville, Maine; Colby College, Waterville, Maine; Member of Delta Upsilon Fraternity. “Cliff puts on a quiet appearance, but that attitude denotes a mind that is deeply concerned with worldly problems.

LOTT HUNT LUDLOW, B.P.E. Lud Spring Lake Beach, N. J. Graduate of Asbury Park High School; Store Com- mittee, 3; Congress, 4; Examiner American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. Boom!!! silence, Boom!!! and the foundations of Alumni Hall shake under the impact of “Lud’s” canon. He has a great interest in aviation and no doubt will be making a non-stop flight from Springfield to Chicopee, before he has his ambitions crushed. J. GERALD MARSHALL, A.B.; B.P.E. Jerry Whittier, California Graduate of Whittier Union High School; Whittier College, 1927; Student Instructor, Physics and Chemistry; Class Basketball, 3. “Gerry” hails from the “Gold Coast”. He came east to study further, the process of the changing of baser metals into precious metals. Really though, he spends a goodly portion of his time showing us into the bottom- less caverns of Chemistry and Physics. Takes out his excess physical energy playing with what he terms a “Car.” We have our doubts about it. [ 68 ] THE MASSASOIT- I€ £9 T. REDMOND McKENNA, B.P.E. Mac Freeport, N. Y.

He will probably crowd Elinor Glynn’s books out of the market, at any rate he is making a good start, since he has the reputation of being diplomatic enough to handle the correspondence of two maidens without any complica- tions; you see, they are both at a goodlv distance. CARLETON F. MINER, B.P.E. Kike Kennebunk, Me. Graduate of Kennebunk High School; Freshman Foot- ball; Junior Varsity Football 2, Varsity Track Squad 2. “Kike” is a tennis and bridge enthusiast.

[ 69 ] THE MASSASOIT - I9S.9 CASPER WILLIAM MUEHLECK, ILP.E. Cass Fort Plain, New York Graduate of Fort Plain High School; Class Soccer, Football, Basketball, Baseball; McKinley Literary So- ciety. No there isn ' t much noise when “Cass” is around, but there is sure to be some deep plot in the back of his mind and before one is aware of what is going to hap- pen, he and his cohorts have done the deed. Every once in awhile he appears on campus with a good looking car and then it is a sure bet that unusual happenings are on the slate for the next few davs. JERALD BARNUM NEWTON, Ph.,B; B.P.E. J erry South Kent, Conn. Graduate of Kent High School; Mt. Hermon School; Wesleyan University; Class Track and Soccer; Class Cross-Country; Coach, Freshman Cross-Country, 3, 4. “Jerry” graduated from Wesleyan as you can see. He has a great fancy for Cross-Country and likes to run about the countryside. Probably got his start chasing cows in the hills of old Connecticut. He also knows the ins and outs of the Butterfly,” if his whereabouts are unknown, he is probably there. ELNO CLEAN NICODEMUS, B.S. Nick Selinsgrove, Pa. Graduate of Bloomsburg High School, Bloomsburg, Pa.; Gettysburg College; Susquehanna University; Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity; Class Football, 3; Varsity Football, 4. “Nic” is a modern Hercules in stature and when he is helping to hold that line, there is little chance for the warrior that opposes him. He has little interest outside of football, but gives that activity all he has until he is overcome with some unfortunate malady such as a stiff- neck. | 70 ] THE MASSASOIT - 1929 EL WIN HERBERT NOYES, B.H. Noisy Dixfield, Maine Graduate of Dixfield High School; McKinley Literary Society; Class Soccer and Track. The student is “Noisy”. Always with his head full of ideas and mannerisms all his own.

Are you interested in Fuller-Brushes, if not, perhaps a few Japanese trinkets will appease your desire? “Irv” is out on one of his selling campaigns again. Between selling he gives his undivided attention to the activities of the Cosmopolitan Club. ALEXANDER OLIVER, B.P.E. Booby Mount Holly, N. J. Graduate of Mt.

Looking for an argument? “Osty” can satisfy your every desire in that line. Or he can entertain you with his collection of antique pipes or perhaps a ride in his car.

We have been debating as to the source of Neal’s wrestling ability. Perhaps his first experience was with the bears that frequent those Maine woods. At any rate he also excells at his avocation, waiting tables, during the summer. WILMER A. ROBBINS, JR. Iiuck Vincentown, N. J. Graduate of Mt. Holly High School, Mt. Holly, N. J. Band, 2, 3, 4; Assistant Manager Gym Team, 1, 2, 3; Manager, 4; New Jersey State Club. Boom ! ! Boom ! ! Boom ! ! It’s only “Buck” warming up the Base Drum. No doubt he first learned to beat the calf-skin in his younger days, down on his father’s farm. He also plays little ditties upon the violin when the spirit moves him. He is deeply concerned with the wel- fare of his charges, the Gvm Team. [ 72 ] THE MASSASOIT - ROWLAND MENDUM ROBINSON, B.S.

All hail the “Senator from Maine’’, “Santa Claus,’’ or any other character that you desire to have imperson- ated, “Robby”, is right there with the necessary humor. No doubt he finds plenty of time for practice while idling his hours away at the Annex. WILLIAM HAROLD ROOD, B.F.E. Roody Morristown, N. J.

Through thick and thin with never a hair out of place. “Rood’’ is a living advertisement for any kind of hair groom. Equally as slick as his hair is that new car he brought back after Xmas “Vake”. WILBUR DUNHAM RUGGLES, B.S. Rug Lynn, Mass. Graduate of Lynn English High School; White Arrow Club; Congress; Cabinet; Advisory Council; Class Soc- cer; Treasurer, Junior Prom Committee; President Sen- ate; Manager Student Co-operative Store; European Camp Scholarship. “Wilbur is the big business man about campus, when he isn ' t holding a controversy with the local judge over some slight breach of legal law.

Bob Scotia, New York Graduate of Scotia High School; Jr. Varsity Basketball, 2; Inter-class Baseball, Soccer, and Basketball; Asst. Manager Track, 3; Springfield Student, 1. “Bob” came into the lime-light in interclass basketball this year, and all that he asked was a chance. He got it, and gave a good account of himself. He frequently ap- pears on campus with his arms full of books, we wonder what he uses them for, though we give him the benefit of the doubt. [ 74 ] THE MASSASOE QE CHARLES EVERETT STEWART, B.S. Ted Mount Holly, N. J. Graduate of Mt. Holly High School; Student Staff; Philomathean Literary Society; Freshman Tennis; Man- ager, Varsity Tennis, 4. A modern “Shakespeare .

Stube Gardiner, Maine Graduate of Gardiner High School; Freshman Gym- nastics; Jr. Varsity Gymnastics, 3; Student Instructor, 4; Weidensall Literary Society; Varsity Lacrosse, 4; Am- erican Red Cross Life Saving Corps. A Gymnast and Lacrosse enthusiast. He took a great liking to the game as soon as his “Canuck” colleagues began batting the balls around and he made his place on the team. Unfortunately “Roy” had to spend a bitter sentence at the hands of Dr. Hopkins. As soon as he finished one seige he would get into some other kind of an accident. EARL BRUCE TATE, B.H. Bruce Dayton, Ohio Graduate of Roosevelt High School, Dayton, Ohio; Freshman Track; Varsity 2. “When you miss a meal, eat at Mary’s” and you will be sure to find “Bruce” there, doing all of the table work. When out of office hours, he is either running or hurtling himself through the air at the broad-jumping pit. NILS ROY THOMPSON, B.P.E. Roy Brooklyn, N. Y.

The only time that ‘ ' Herb makes much noise, is when he is playing a joke on someone. We believe that he would rather joke than work, but he manages to get through. When he isn’t attending some social function of the Cosmopolitan Club, he is studying. Yes, he is a great student. ERNEST H. TUTTLE, B.P.E. Earnie Watertown, New York Graduate of I. H.

He is seriously thinking of buying a share in the Springfield-Holyoke Trolley Company. He has been riding on them so long and so frequently that the company should grant such an ardent supporter great dividends. Yes he is a Boy Scout too, and daily does his good turn.

On top of all this he has a couple of cars that are available for any collegiate Romeo who has the price. He holds no affection for Santa Claus, but there is one “Brownie” who holds a particular claim of “Tom’s” cardiac region. [ 78 ] THE MASSASOIT - I?£9 HOWARD PAUL WAY, B.P.E. Paul Lewistown, Penna.

[ 82 ] THE MASSASOIT IS)£9 Reminiscences We have spent four years at Springfield in the splendid fellowship of students and faculty. As we look back we wonder at the great change which has come over us since we first appeared on this campus. The change of role, from that of the perse- cuted to the persecutors. How we participated in every battle and squabble, peculiar to undergraduate life, and then assuming the dignity of upperclassmen, we bent our efforts on high planes. We grasped every opportunity to represent Springfield at home and away on the athletic field, and our classmates did their share in holding the line, making the baskets, or sacrificing on the ball diamond. Not only were we interested in athletics, but we strove to better ourselves in all lines. We h ave accepted our tasks and responsibilities, our work is completed. Four years gone, we know not where, but their memory will linger in our hearts as we assume greater responsibilities. We have done our best, and shall continue. And now, on the eve of our commencement, one task completed and another begun, we join in that traditional chorus — ■ We’re going to leave old Massasoit; Our student days are o’er; W e’re going to leave our Comrades true, To meet them all no more. Oh, dear old Alma Mater, We’ll hold thy standard high Until the sun of life goes down And we must say goodbye. [ 83 ] [ 84 ] THE MASSASOIT - I9£« Junior Class Don D. Cornell President Rayburn S. Markward Pice-President Conrad C. Pressey Secretary Edward J. Raynsford Treasurer Don D. Cornell When we first came to the shores of Lake Massasoit, the upperclassmen despaired, for there never existed a group of men who demonstrated so clearly that they really were green. With many a shudder and fear of things that were to follow, we gathered for the initiation, and despite all threats and forebodings we survived. But the effect was fatal. All three of the class fights spelled defeat for us. The fall term over, we began to look for a brighter future, only to be informed that the green ties, which had assisted in making us so conspicuous during the fall term, must still be worn. Bleachers were moved and our share of the tasks done, but still the tie was worn. Then one day in the Spring we assembled for the annual Freshman banquet. Un- hampered by the disciplinary measures of the upperclassmen, the spirit ran high and having received some fine toasts and talks, the neck-ware was ignited and it was seen no more. Soon we stepped up to the role of Sophomores and our caps were doffed. Then came Freshman camp. Here the spirit ran higher than ever before. Woe unto any man who tried to break through that line of guards that stood duty night and day. Here our class was made. The memories of those nights spent around the campfire, and the food cooked over the open fires, kept alive that spirit through the summer months. We returned in the fall to assume the tasks of Sophomores. The White Arrow Club functioned in its highest capacity and every Freshman was given a rousing wel- come to our campus. We met them on the field of interclass conflict and carried our colors to victory in every encounter. These Freshmen were properly disciplined. They were humiliated to their proper station and we continued our work to the holi- days. Our prowess on the field of sports was shown as we took second place in intra- THE MASSASOIT- ! £« ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 186 ] THE MASSASOIT- I9£9 mural competition. Many of our classmates won places for themselves on varsity teams and soon we were to become an active part of college life. And now we are Juniors. We are in full swing of college life. Plans are develop- ing for the great event of the year, the Junior Prom. Many of our men are giving their all on varsity teams, and others are representing their Alma Mater in the musical and literary activities. The year-book, the 1929 Massasoit is in your hands and is a splendid example of the work done by our classmates. We can now look back at the scraps of underclassmen and frown on them, bending our untiring efforts to more serious tasks. During the past year, four men from our class were elected by a popular vote of the student body, to serve as heads of the Student Government for 1929. Don. D. Cornell, popular class president was unanimously elected as the Student Association President; likewise Richard B. Brooks was unanimously chosen to act as Vice-Presi- dent. Alex B. Robinton was elected to serve as Secretary and Edward Raynsford was chosen for the office of Treasurer. Many of the prominent members of the class were popularly selected to act as Senate, Cabinet and Congress members for the coming year. They have the con- fidence of their classmates who predict this to be the most successful year in the history of Springfield. All of th ese accomplishments are evidence of the prosperity of the class of 1930, which has established an all-around record in Springfield, during its three years of attendance in this institution. 187 ] THE MASSASOIT - Junior Directory Ackerman, G.

Searles Secretary Robert L. Coe Treasurer William R. Fenstemacher We can say little of our Freshman battles. We lost them all. But, our spirit was not to be trodden under-foot. Before each fight we were keyed to a pitch that seemed to make defeat impossible. We were the victims of a few pranks of the Sopho- mores but through it all there was an undescribable something which bound us to- gether and made us secure. It is claimed that our initiation did not gratify the blood- thirsty desires of our assailants, but we accepted that which was given to us and proceeded to accept the rest of Springfield’s traditions. The time seemed to fly and before we were aware of the fact, our Freshman year was drawing to a close. Our banquet was a great success and we became more than ever, conscious of the spirit that had been kindled and was now springing into a flame and which continued to grow at the old camp site. Here the final touches were acquired and we were prepared to return and actively participate in college activities. As Sophomores our tasks became more diversified. We gave the Freshman an all- round welcome, including that which we missed the previous year, at initiation. We spared them many unnecessary acrobatic stunts, but saw to it that they received their just due. How awkward they looked, acting the part of canaries or dogs, yet we must not forget that we too were in the same situation scarcely a year ago. We entered the class scraps with a new vigor and the technique acquired at the expense of defeat stood us in good stead. Our position as Sophomores serving in ap- prenticeship for greater tasks is nearly over, and soon we will step into more worthy seats of responsibility, carrying with us that fighting spirit that has placed the class of Thirtv-one in the foreground.

Parkhurst Secretary Walter Stewart Treasurer Carl V. Schlader After spending four years of strenuous work in various institutions, planning and looking forward to our arrival at Springfield, we finally appeared and were properly received and ushered into the brotherhood of Springfield men. The week that we spent here before the arrival of our aggressors, was all too short. Soon we were to be shown our places. The initiation equaled our expectations, especially those who were unfortunate enough to receive particular attention at this meeting. And then the catechisms. It will be a relief not to see them every morning, noon and night, but then we are told that it is all a part of the necessary process of adaptation to our new environment. With a great deal of enthusiasm the sons of Thirty-two gathered on the banks of Lake Massasoit to meet our persecutors in open combat. But their experience proved a little too strong for the brute strength that was ours. The Sophomores met their match, however, when they gathered for the flag rush on power house point. Mod ern methods of warfare superceded the ancient tactics and we emerged victorious. We again met defeat when we were only able to get the smaller number of canes in the cane rush. All of that is past and we have survived a part of it all. We are beginning to realize just what it means to be a college man. Gone are the characteristic green vestments, and soon we will lose that other mark of distinction, the Freshman cap. As we look back on it all, we have a far different attitude toward these traditional practices, and with eagerness we are looking forward to the time when it shall be our inestimable privilege to direct the activities of the class of ’33.

It is connected with outside organiz- ations by close relationship and contribution to the foreign work of the Y. M. C. A., the National Council Student Association, The World Student Christian Federation and the European Scholarships. The membership of the association was voted com- pulsory this year, thus enabling the association to propose its budget on a more definite basis. Some of the outstanding achievements of the organization this year are the improvement of the social atmosphere of Woods Flail, the entertainment on campus, by having motion pictures each week, supported and sponsored by the individual com- mittees of the association ; compulsory membership, the successful and well organized International Week campaign, and various minor improvements in the social activity of each committee.

It acts as an intermediary between the faculty and the students, concerning itself with matters both judicial and legislative. So far its members have done much toward setting the standards of conduct for the campus. This organization is composed of five Seniors and four Juniors elected annually by the student body. The Senate has many duties, not the least of which is that of passing judgment concerning the traditions and ideals of Springfield College.

Of this, forty per cent are Seniors; thirty per cent Juniors; twenty per cent Sophomores; and ten per cent Freshmen. The presiding officer is the President of the Student Association. It is the duty of the Congress to act as an approving committee to the Cabinet, to receive petitions and recommendations from the members of the Student Association, and to conduct the legislative proceedings of the Association. The consent of the Congress is necessary for a change in business or administrative methods. Cooper, G. Johnson, Ludlow, J.

This committee has the power to appoint managers of all teams, grant and con- trol the wearing of emblems, recommend the employment of coaches, and in conjunc- tion with the faculty, to determine the eligibility of men wishing to participate in athletes. The most important business dealt with by this committee in the past year has been : 1. The new four year Varsity certificate. 2. The change in size of the varsity “S” from six to seven inches. The re- moval of side or team letters. 3. The presentation of Varsity football sweaters to graduating players. 4. The discontinuing of Varsity Hockey and the addition of Varsity Lacrosse.

Kirkham Director In September, 1926, there was instituted by the Freshmen Week Committee a new practice in the Springfield College routine. The Freshmen were required to be present one week before the official opening of the college courses. During that week they were entertained and advised by the Committee, so that they might become ac- quainted with the traditions and practices of Springfield men. This program was of such a beneficial nature that it was ordained to be an official procedure of the college. This year the class of 1932 reported one week earlier than the Sophomores and upper classmen, and became well acquainted with Springfield, due to the fraternalizing spirit of a steak roast, a hike and many informal gatherings under the leadership of the Freshman Week Committee. The benefits of such a procedure can not be too greatly emphasized. Affleck, Parsons Baker, Kirkham, Kestner THE MASSASOIT 1 UOoods Hall Committee P. C. Hartman Chairman The personnel of the Woods Hall Committee is composed of four students and a chairman who are elected to their offices by a student vote in the winter elections. The duty of this committee is to supervise the Woods Hall building, the social hall, the Student Association offices and the dining hall. The renovation of the entire building, including many changes in the cafeteria, the social hall and the Student Association offices has made Woods Hall one of the centers for all campus activities. 1109] THE MASSASOIT- Commencement The Forty-third Commencement Exercises of Springfield College were week of June eighth. Throughout this week the college acted as host to an of alumni and visitors. On Wednesday evening, June sixth, the annual Spring Sports Reception was held in the West Gymnasium. This colorful event inaugurated the annual Commencement activities. On Friday afternoon, June eighth, the program commenced with the water sports held on Lake Massasoit. Chef Hall prepared his strawberry festival, which followed the water sports. During the evening, two plays, “The Vanishing Princess” and “The Warriors Husband were presented on the lake front by members of the Dramatic Club, under the direction of W. T. Simpson. The Canoe Carnival ensued the presentation of the plays. This gala occasion was attended by several thousand people, from the vicinity of Springfield. Saturday was the usual busy day. The Alumni Breakfast was held in Woods Hall at eight-thirty in the morning, and this was followed by a reunion of all the alumni. A baseball game was played on South Field during the afternoon. The annual luncheon for the Kappa Delta Pi honorary society was held during the afternoon at the University Club in the Hotel Bridgeway. The evening was concluded with the annual Commencement Dinner in the West Gymnasium. On Sunday morning a Memorial Service and Fellowship Meeting were held in the Carlisle Foyer. The programme continued with the Graduating Procession and Exercises in the West Gymnasium and was concluded with the President ' s Reception in the Foyer. THE MASSASOIT - I9£« Kappa Delta Pi Hanford M. Burr Founder A number of years ago Professor Hanford M. Burr founded a philosophical society in Springfield College which finally evolved into what is known as the Kappa Delta Pi honorary society. The original society was a purely self-perpetuating group of Seniors who chose their incoming members from the Junior class. These incoming members were chosen for their outstanding qualities in scholarship, character and efficiency. As the society grew it became obvious that some changes had to be made, so it was determined that the membership be acted upon by the combined choice of the students and the faculty, the choice being based on scholarship, character and culture. 1112] THE MASSASOIT - I929 The new members are now elected each year from a posted list of seniors who are academically qualified for membership, having maintained a high degree of scholar- ship during their college careers. Then each senior, by a closed ballot, chosses the ten men who in his mind are most deserving of membership. Next, a committee of the faculty — Kappa Delta Pi Alumni — and one senior, nominated by the class, pass a final judgment on the men presented. By the above means the selection of members for the fraternity is as nearly perfect as possible. In contrast to Phi Beta Kappa, whose members are chosen solely on a scholarship basis, the members of Kappa Delta Pi may well be proud of the fact that they are selected by both their classmates and the faculty, not merely for scholarship but for their character, capacity and culture.

Every year two Juniors are chosen for this scholar- ship by a committee composed of faculty and students; the basis of choice being the social and scholastic quali- ties, linguistic ability and camping experience. Through the co-operation of the faculty and students, enough funds are provided to pay for their expenses while abroad. After their return, the college administration gives these men a tuition scholarship for their senior tear. FRANK M. MOHLER. Director I U + l mm Edwards, Ruggles. This year Robert B. Edwards and Wilbur D. Ruggles were chosen for the scholarship. They traveled together to Czecho-Slovakia via Engand, Belgium and Germany. Then Edwards went to his summer camp. Ele also visited Poland w here he stopped at Joe First’s camp. After leaving there he journeyed alone to Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, England and then home. Wilbur D. Ruggles, after separating from Edwards, went south through Austria, Hungary and ugo-Slavia to Sofia, Bulgaria. From there he traveled to Varna on the Black Sea, and thence to his camp which is situated five miles outside of Varna. His camp work being concluded in eight weeks, he sailed to Constantinople where he spent several days at the Y. M. C. A. He visited a boy’s camp in Asia Minor and then traveled back to Vienna where he stayed for a few days. A trip to the New School of Physical Education at Geneva, Switzerland, was the next lap on his home- ward journey, from which place he traveled through France to Paris and Cherbourg and then boarded a ship for home. | 115 ] r IplM V THE MASSASCIT- I9£9 A 7 ri SfwL ' The Sophomore Spring field-Geneva Scholarship. Arthur Larkin and Francis Hoffman were the re- J T cipients of the special scholarship offered jointly by the students and faculty. This scholarship enabled them to spend a rear at the New School of Physical Kducation in Geneva, Switzerland. At the head of this school is I)r. Elmer Berrv, who is assisted by Mr. L. Schroeder. It is at this school that Mr. J. D. Brock is studying . for his doctor’s The Geneva Scholarship. H The college at Geneva offered scholarship for two Springfield College Students, and for one stu- dent from the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College. Robert A ‘ - AI.I.ER MacKinnon and F redrick Wilson were offered these scholarships by a committee composed of the students and the faculty of this college. Both of these men are now studying in Geneva, Switzerland. Arthur O. Waller is the first Sophomore student of Springfield College to go to Europe to study in the New School of Physical Education in Geneva and affiliated institutions, including the University of Geneva and the Jean Jacques Rousseau Insti- tute. He took his Junior work at Geneva for which he given full credit here. During the summer he served in a U M. C. A. camp in Poland, and for his service was given his tuition for his senior year at Springfield. [ 116 ] THE MASSASOIT - Freshman Handbook W. L. J ohnson Editor-in-chief H. B. Dow .

The Glee Club was organized in the early fall, and Charles Winters was elected President. Charles Frasher acted as manager with the capable assistance of Elmer McCelland and Walter Burzynski. Of the sixty men reporting for membership, forty-five were retained, making a well organized and accomplished club. Their repertoire included many favorite songs, college songs and some popular numbers. Their full schedule consisted of ap- pearances at various churches and auditoriums in this and the surrounding communities. In M arch the Glee Club gave its second annual home concert, followed by a dance which was a great success. At the banquet of the music clubs of Springfield College, charms were awarded to the various members who had earned them during the past season.

And with this memory is found a development in character as well as in musical ability that is lasting. This club accompanied the Glee Club on all the trips, and provided entertain- ment of the highest type for the audiences that had the privilege of attending the recitals.

The arrival of the Freshman Class in the fall is the first opportunity of this club to start their activities, when they direct the Freshman from the railroad station to the college. During the year, their work lies in meeting visiting teams, and seeing that they are properly directed and entertained.

Although it takes a great deal of work out- side of school hours, the benefits derived from the experience in public speaking are well worth the time and energy spent in preparation.

At the beginning of the Junior year, the class elects a chairman, whom they think the most capable in social administration, and who in turn selects a definite group of class members to assist in the duties of a promenade committee. The Promenade Committee of the class of 1930 is organized with the view of having each member assume a definite responsibility; his plans are however subject to approval or disap- proval of the entire committee. The Promenade is financed by pledges signed by each member of the Junior class. These pledges are made payable on or before the first of May- This year the pledges were all turned in and all major arrangements completed by the middle of the Winter Term.

The committee has been very fortunate in securing Ernie Andrews and His El Patio Orchestra for the evening affair. During the week-end of the Promenade there will be a programme of varied ac- tivities on campus, which have been arranged by the committee. On Friday afternoon there will be a Lacrosse game between the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams of Springfield College; at the same time a baseball game will be played between the Maroon and White Varsity and Conn Aggies. The Promenade will hold sway during the evening, and dancing will be offered from eight thirty to one-thirty. On Saturday morning there will be the annual up-the-lake breakfast for all upperclassmen and their lady friends. This will be followed at one o’clock by a tennis match between the Varsity and Weslyan College teams. At two o’clock the Varsity Track team will meet Northwestern College on Pratt Field. The programme will be concluded by a Tea Dance to be held in the West Gymnasium at four o’clock. This affair will be open to the attendance of all classes.

THE MASSASOIT - 1 9£ 9 Dramatics There are two distinct activities at Springfield College having play production as their goal, the course in Dramatic Technique and the Annual Play. The former is open t o anyone in the college and is a practical laboratory study of methods of play produc- tion. Acting, the choice of plays, pageantry, produc- tion design, and directing are all taught from the view point of a man’s needs in the Y. M. C. A. and in Com- munity H ouse Work. W. T. SIMPSON Director C. C. LOVEJOY Chairman Several one act plays are produced each term. Trips are taken by the members of the play casts to the surrounding towns where they give entertainments. Many of the men of the group secure engagements to put on various plays and to take part in big pro- ductions in Springfield. The second dramatic activity is the Annual Play which is given by the members of the student body of Springfield College. All Springfield students are elig- ible to try out for parts in this annual play. The casts are augumented by ladies from the Springfield Players Guild and the Longmeadow Players. These produc- tions have been given off campus during the past few years and have attracted large audiences. [ 127 ] THE MASSASOIT- I929 Plays of real worth have been produced, as “Outward Bound’ and the “Hour Glass” Comedies, such as “The Fortune Hunter” and “Zander the Great” have been publicly received with favor. Dramatics is receiving more recognition due to the fact that students are realizing that there is more and more a great demand for men with training in the fundamentals of dramatic technique, who are equipped to direct plays in schools, churches and for the “Little Theatres.” The Dramatic Chairman, Cecil C. Lovejoy, is a member of the Student Cabinet and has charge of the Annual Play and the Canoe Carnival. [ 128 ] THE MASSASOIT- !€� £«) THE DRAMATICS COMMITTEE The Annual Play presented by the College Players, and directed by W.

[ 129 ] ATHLETICS THE MASSASOIT - 1029 From the very start of the pig- skin season, “Larry” Handy anti his cohorts — Adams, Skonberg and Jones, — furnished an unprece- dented stimulus for vocal response. The “Four Horsemen” made their first major appearance at the Harvard Stadium. Throughout the game they thrilled the 30,000 spectators with their frenzied an- tics. A boom ! A rah ! Then a triple twist by Jones, a double twirl by Adams, a forward dive by Skon- berg, a full gainor by Handy and “LARK 1 HANDY the cheer had ended. Roars of applause, — cries for MORE, MORE! — and the “Horsemen” encored.

[ 133 ] THE MASSASOIT- 192.9 Uarsihj Sports Resume Springfield College closed a very active athletic year with some very worth while records to its credit. The year 1928 brought intercollegiate championship to Springfield College in Swimming, Basketball, Tennis, Cross Country, and Freshman Swimming Relay. The Basketball team lost but two of its twenty games and was credited with the New England Championship. The Swimmers won the New England Intercollegiates at Williams College last spring. The Tennis team won all of its matches except the opener which was played against a six man team instead of the usual four man team. Springfield blanked four colleges, namely, Tufts, Boston College, Colgate and Trinity. Dartmouth and Amherst were the only ones to score against them. The Cross Country team won the open Cross Country meet conducted by the Harvard University management; winning over Conn. Aggies and New Hampshire, their nearest competitors. The Freshmen Swimmers won the New England Inter- collegiate Relay Championship at Williams College. Last year with ten varsity teams, the records showed sixty-five wins out of ninety- eight contests with nine ties and twenty-four defeats. The 1928 records are not quite as good but compare well, with eleven teams instead of ten; sixty-five wins, no ties, and thirty-four defeats.

Spring- field defeated five of these teams and lost to four of them, however all of the defeats w’ere by close scores. About 35 men reported at the first call issued by Coach Rothacher for the 1928 grid team, and the number increased until school opened in September. During this time Coach Rothacher drilled the men in the art of football, teaching them the fundamentals, and getting them in condition for the hard season which loomed ahead. In the first game with East Stroudsburg it looked as though Coach Rothacher’s 1928 gridiron machine was off to another undefeated season. The East Stroudsburg team was certainly game and offered stubborn resistance to all the ad- vances made by the Maroon and Whites. This game showed that the stars of 1927 season were still football players.

The offense of the Springfield backs and the work of Limbaugh, J enkins, Wolynec, Nico- demus, and Allen on the line featured in this game. HAROLD ROOD Fullback In the next game however Spring- field met its Waterloo, when the team traveled to Cambridge to combat with John Harvard. With a clean slate for the past 15 games, Springfield looked like an aggressive contender for the honors of the game. However, out- weighed by a great margin the Maroon and White went down to defeat for the first time in two seasons. Only once did the team from Springfield threaten the Crimson goal line and that was in the third quarter. The Ro- thacher Machine started a march down the field toward the Harvard goal with a series of forward passes which ended on Harvard’s one yard line. It look- ed like a goal for Springfield. Hopes ran high only to be smashed when the Maroon fumbled, and lost their one and only chance to score on the big Crimson football machine. RED HELL Halfback THE MASSASOIT - 19S.9 NEW HAMPSHIRE GAME Then came a team from the West, Canisius, a college situated in Buffalo, New York, and a newcomer on the Maroon and White schedule. These men from the Empire State handed another defeat to the Maroon and White. The Springfield team came off the field much the worse for wear ; Captain “Eddie” Williamson suf- fered an injured shoulder and Nicodemus with injuries in his neck which ended his college football days. Canisius present- ed a team of giants which put our rather light team to a de- cided disadvantage. Next week the team journeyed to Middlebury and when it came time to return, they had another victory safely tucked away under their war belts making up for the two defeats. Springfield surprised the Middlebury team by using straight football rather than the aerial attack as expected. Hammond came into promi- nence in the second quarter of this game when he grabbed a Middlebury pass on their 45 yard line and ran through the entire opposing team for a touchdown. Again Springfield went down to defeat, this time when New Hampshire State College decided to come RED DUNCAN down out of their mountains HANK LIMBAUGH Halfback and invade Pratt Field. Center | 138 ] THE MASSASOIT - I9£9 CANISIUS GAME Springfield was unable to gain much ground against the strong line of the visitors. The Maroon and White made several determined efforts to at least tie the score but failed each time. The losing streak continued when the team met Boston University at Nickerson Field the following week. This is the first time B. U. had beaten Springfield, although not by a very wide margin, the score being 7-6. One point is not much but it is enough to beat the best team made. The game was played in a driz- zly rain, and was anybody’s from start to finish. The drizzle spoiled the aerial game for both teams as the ball was wet and soggy and very hard to handle. Both teams tried the forward pass game at the beginning of the af- fair, but were forced back to earth be- cause the passes failed. In the last quarter the Maroon and White Ma- chine carried the ball to within 3 yards of the final B. U. stripe and either they lacked that final punch, or B.

The team looked more like its old form in this game, displaying a fine running attack led by Captain Williamson and Duncan whom the M. A. C. boys were unable to stop. Blumenstock blocked a punt and scooping it up, ran for the first touchdown. Follow- ing a steady march up ' the field “Buck” Neilson went over the visitors goal line with the ball carefully tucked under his arm for the second score. Again Springfield went on the war path and had another scalping party, this time at the expense of Provi- dence College. The ex- cellent punting and run- ning of Captain Wil- liamson featured in this game. Time after time “Eddie” would be seen galloping along toward the Providence goal line all by himself.

It was a hard fought battle, with Vermont staging some wonderful defensive work in the shadow of their own goal, while Springfield showed a great offensive game. The score came in the third quarter when Captain Williamson boot- ed a beautiful drop-kick from the visitors 28 yard stripe making the only points of the game. Vermont threatened only once and that was in the first period when Hal- ligan threw three forward passes which placed the ball on Springfield’s 20 yard line. They tried a fourth pass which proved to be the last, Blumenstock snaring their well intended heave and putting an end to the Catamounts advance and only threat. HARVARD GAME [ 141 ] Ak | 142 ] BASKETBALL THE MASSASOIT-I«fi9 COACH HICKOX 1928-29 HOWARD SHINN Manager 8 [ 1+3 J SBQBI THE MASSASOIT- Uarsitij Basketball Basketball went through the readjustment stage in 1928-29. When the famous twins “Jimmie” James and “Bob” Wagner graduated, Coach Hickox had no galaxy of stars to throw into the breach in continuation of Springfield’s former records. Captain Duncan, and Gustafson were the only varsity material available, and they formed the neucleus for the ’28-’29 hoopsters. The first game with Pratt Institute resulted in a 30-11 victory for Springfield. This game uncovered many stars who promised to fill the vacancies left by the graduated varsity men. Among these were Camer- on, a former Dean Academy player who formed the pivot for the attack of Springfield for the remainder of the season; Ackerman and Elerin former Jr. Vars- ity men, and Shirey and Knecht neither of whom were available for last year’s varsity, displayed an excellent brand of basketball throughout the season ; beside these men there was a number of candidates from the 1928 freshman team. The most promising of these were Cook, Becker, Geesman, Davidson, and Miller. Cook proved to be a stalwart asset to the team by his re- markable defensive ability. His first appearance in the limelight was in the game against Pratt, and he continued to play throughout the season in a brilliant style. Following the Pratt game Springfield invaded the Crescent A. C. court and defeated them in a closely contested match. Later in the season the Athletic Club was again defeated by Springfield in the West Gymnasium, this time by a more decisive score. During the next week East Stroudsburg and Wes- leyan met defeat at the hands of the ever strengthen- ing combination. Providence was the next opponent to face the Ma- roon and White. The Black and White was the best team which had appeared on the home court for some time. Springfield played a rather ragged game the WENDELL COOK Guard MABEN CAMERON Forward | 145 ] THE MASSASOIT- VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Hickox, Miller, Knecht, Davidson, Elerin, Ackerman, Shinn, Shirey, Geesman, Duncan, Cameron, Cook first half but came to life in the second period and played Providence on more than even terms, but were unable to overcome the visitors early lead. Holy Cross then faced Springfield on the home court. In a game filled with thrills and abounding with fast court-work, the Maroon and White con- quered the visitors by a margin of ten points. The pass work of Captain “Red” Duncan was largely re- sponsible for the victory. The Maroon and White leader time after time sacrificed the possible chance to score in order to feed one of his team mates. Cook, the Maroon and White guard, was the only player to stay the entire game, and although he did not score any points he played a wonderful floor game. The Hickoxmen turned in another victory on Jan- uary 19th when they defeated Tufts College in the West Gymnasium by a large score. Captain Duncan and his men had little trouble in retaining a comfort- able margin throughout the game. JACK KNECHT Guard fa [146] [ 147 ] THE MASSASOIT - Junior Darsihj Basketball The Junior Varsity team, coached by Garrett Clark, former varsity player accomplished a very successful season. Although several of last year stars had been promoted to the varsity, a wealth of material was available from last years Freshman team. The season was ushered in by administering two defeats to the Springfield Y. M. C. A. Westfield was defeated on its own court, and in the following week Assumption College followed suit. On February ninth the team journeyed to Albany, N. Y. where it encountered Albany State College. The defeat registered here was the most decisive of the season, resulting in a 44-20 score in favor of the “Jay Vee ' s.” The most interesting game of the season was played with the Freshman varsity in West Gymnasium. The consistant floor work of “Buck” Neilson, and the accurate shooting of Bigsbee featured the game. The score resulted in a defeat for the “Jay Vee’s,” although the margin was very close. Captain Fritz, Neilson, Roughgarden, Poten, and Bigsbee were the outstanding players of the season. Coach Hickox should receive some very valuable material from this aggregation for the 1929-30 season.

The team as a whole, won two meets from colleges of the size of Springfield, lost two to larger institutions, and took third in the Eastern Intercollegiates against the best group of athletes that has participated in that event. The relay team won two indoor events and took fourth in the Penn Relay Mile race. A few of the men started in to train during Febru- ary, and took several places in a meet held in the How- ard Street Armory, the mile relay quartet defeating W. P. I. and M. A. C. Again in March, the advanced squad won laurels by taking several places in the Hart- ford Armory meet with the mile relay team defeating Wesleyan. The first outdoor meet was held on Pratt Field against Wesleyan, Captain Bollier leading his men to a victory over the Cardinal and Black by a score of 74-60. Mosher was the outstanding star of the meet, taking first in both the 440 and the 220 yard events. Matteson took a first, second and third, while Higgins took a first and a second to rank third in the honors. Springfield took eight out of the fifteen first places, and scored heavily in seconds and thirds. The relay team went to Philadelphia the following week and splashed through a mile of mud and water to take fourth place in the Class A event. Rutgers finished first, followed by Lafayette and Bucknell. The trip itself was a fine education for the men and a fitting reward for their efforts of the indoor season, for which no recognition is given. Amherst came here on Friday, May 4th, as a Junior Prom attraction, and was defeated 85-49 in a very in- teresting meet. Springfield continued its supremacy in the running events by taking every flat event, although dropping both the hurdle races. The Ma- roon and White made slams in the 220 yard dash, the one mile, the 880 and the pole vault. Fisher missed the college record for the broad jump by one inch. Higgins was high point scorer with first in both dashes. The Maroon and White entered the Eastern Inter- collegiates again this season after being out of the association for one year. Rhode Island an d North- eastern both had exceptionally strong teams and several individual stars, although neither of them duplicated in any event except the pole vault. Northeastern took first with a well-balanced team, while Rhode Island was second, largely due to several first places.

The Army cadets had things much their own way in winning from the Pratt Field men by a 115-11 score at West Point, May 26th. Paul Crowell was the only man to take a first place for the Maroon and White, while not even a second place was scored. Prob- ably the outstanding Springfield performance of the day was that of Bennett who ran a beautiful race in the two mile event. Bennett’s best time up to that meet was 10 minutes flat, made at the E. I. C. meet. Bennett finished the eight lap grind at West Point in 9:45, five seconds better than the present Springfield record, but as he placed only third, the record is not official. Bennett finished only two strides behind the first man. The final meet of the season held at Durham, N. H., was a win for the Granitestaters, the score being 80-55, which was one of the best meets of the season. NORM KITCHING Hurdles [ 151 ] THE MASSASOIT - I«£9 VARSITY RELAY TEAM Hartman, Mitchell, Bollier, Hirzler, Mosher, Rothacher Bennett was again the bright light of the Maroon and White runners, winning the two mile race in 10:21, followed by Greene, Crowell and Fisher were the only other first place winners, while Chapin took two, Matteson three, and Mosher, Ric- cardi, Nordyke, Booker, and Crossman one each of the second places. This was the first race Mosher had run since the E. I. C. meet, due to an in- jury of his leg. It is very likely he would have taken the 440 had he been in better condition. Higgins was high point scorer of the season, running up a total of 27 points. Matteson was second in the total points, scor- ing 26 G points. Mosher was third with 22, followed by Ben- nett and Crowell with 19 each. Captain Bollier, Nordyke, Holloway, McLane, Riccardi, Bishop, Hirzler, and Nabholz were lost by graduation, but with the neucleus remaining Coach Rothacher has brilliant prospects for the 1929 track poss MOSH er season.

This team coached by Professor Judd, exemplifies the training of Springfield, by merit of their gymnastic exhibitions. This team travels all over the country and is always welcome wherever it goes. ' Pile demands for the team are numerous and many of these requests have to be either cancelled or postponed until another season. Each year Coach Judd develops a team that is equally as good as that of the preceding year. In Captain Yauch the team has a fine gymnast, — perhaps one of the best who has ever come to Spring- field. He is equally good in all phases of the work through which a gymnast must pass. Wilbur has unusual ability in wielding “those Indian Clubs” and is also a good man on the team numbers as well as an excellent performer on the apparatus. WILBUR YAUCH Captain VARSITY GYM TEAM MacGregor, Gunkler, Adams, Stuber, Struthers Novotny, Robbins, Yauch, Steen, Yocum McGrath, Knowles, Knauss, Judd, Weibel, Thompson, Jones [ 154 ] THE MASSASOIT - I€ £9 Unlike last year, there is only one team this year, N because of the limited material. In 1927-28 Coach Judd developed two teams of equal ability and thereby was able to appease twice as many requests for a Springfield College Gym Team exhibition. 1 During the year the team took many extended j f JO tours, and exhibited to a remarkable degree, the prow- ' ess of Springfield Gymnasts. In some places they were heralded as a “good gym team”, others as the “best gym team in the East”, others as the “best in the United States” and still others advertised “Spring- field College Gym Team, the Best in the World.” The team is one who’s value is really inestimable, not only for the school itself, but for anyone who comes in contact with the group. It brings pleasure to the individual who can appreciate beauty and rhythm which is apparent in the gym team exercises. Then there is the younger generation, who might have A RT WEIBEI taken a dislike to gymnastic work ; they see what it is possible to accomplish in a gymnasium by watching our team, and as a result are greatly inspired. The first series of exhibitions included three states — Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. On the twenty- fourth of January the team went to Win- x stead, Conn., for its first exhibition, traveling from % there to Millbrook, N. Y., on the following day. On the twenty-sixth it went to Dalton, Mass., to complete the week-end exhibition. J The following week-end the team went into Con- necticut for a visit of two days ; giving two exhibitions in one day, the first at Bridgeport in the afternoon and the next in Norfolk the same evening. On Febru- ary eighth the team journeyed to New York State to display its ever improving ability, traveling to Mount Vernon on the eighth and to Oyster Bay on the ninth. On February fifteen and sixteenth the team exhibited in Waterbury and Meriden before record crowds. Then came the big day, February twenty-second, Washington’s Birthday, and the annual Home Ex- hibition. Captain Yauch always at his best, led his RUSS KNAUSS h N. [ 155 ] THE MASSASOIT - I«£9 CLARENCE YOCUM men through this exhibition, which is con- sidered the most difficult on the whole schedule. After this exhibition the team again resumed their week-end trips until the Spring vacation, during which it took a trip that led to Brooklyn, N. Y., Orange, N. J., Baltimore, Md., Philadelphia, Pa., and Pittsburgh, Pa. The men on this team had to sacrifice every week-end from January twenty-fourth to A I arch sixteenth and then they went away for a week and had to give up their spring vacation, which is indeed a sacrifice for the school. Captain Yauch, Knowles, Weibel, Stuber, Yocum, Knauss and Thompson will be lost to next year’s Varsity by graduation, however it is hoped that a wealth of material will be available from the present Freshman team. FERRARS STUBER BOB KNOWLES [ 157 ] THE MASSASOIT- I9£ Darsitq Baseball With the advent of the 1928 baseball season Coach DeGroat realizing the possibilities of an excellent team from his large squad, started preliminary practice as soon as the snow had been cleared from the ground and the weather man had given his sanction for the initiation of spring practice. With eight letter men and a large group of aspi- rants Coach felt assured that a favorable season was in view. A squad of sixty men reported for the prelim- inary practice from which was picked the ones to be taken on the southern practice trip. The first victim of the southern pilgrimage was the strong Navy team. The game plated at Annapolis resulted in a win for the Maroon and White team. Mt. St. Mary’s fol- lowed the example set by Navy and were defeated by a decisive score. Georgetown was the next oppo- nent, and they succeeded twice in defeating the Sons of Massasoit. The first game after the home coming was played with the Springfield Ponies and a 7-1 defeat was registered against the collegians. Following this game the regular season opened for the DeGroatmen, and opened with a bang, the team defeating Dartmouth on South Field by a score of 10-8. The first defeat of the season was inflicted by Vermont in their second game. The next game with Provi- dence also ended with a defeat for the Maroon and White. The game with Boston ended with a 15-2 score in favor of the Bean Towners. This must have aroused the boys as they won the next two consecutive games, beating Amherst 3-2 and Mass. Aggies 7-3. Then came a slump during which they lost to Conn. Aggies, Army, Dartmouth, and Vermont. The season ended with two wins, St. Michaels 12-1 and Union 5-4. These last wins gave Springfield an even break on the seasons’ wins and losses, winning seven and los- ing seven. The fine work of Captain Craig, Davis, James and Woods, who composed the infield, with the co-opera- tion of Williamson, Duncan, and Misar in the out- ERNEST HOOPER Pitcher [ 158 ] THE MASSASOIT - I€ £9 field, resulted in a well balanced team. The outstand- ing pitchers of the season were Red Johnson, Lefty Beach and Hooper. Putman and Steeves played an excellent brand of ball throughout the season and dis- tinguished themselves as the best catchers Springfield has ever possessed. At the end of the Union game six of Springfield’s best, had played their last game for old Springfield. Captain Craig, Misar, James, Davis, Beach, and Put- man will all be lost to this year’s team by graduation and these men have left spiked shoes behind them which will be hard to fill. The men did their utmost for the Maroon and White in this last game, which was showed in the fact that they came home with a victory under their belts. The hitting for the team was led by Davis who had a percentage of .354 for the season. Next was Misar with .304 closely following him was Woods with .300, next in line was Steeves with .293. The team average at the stick was .242 for the season.

This defeat was at the hands of Yale, who with its superior passing and large field succeeded in down- ing the strong Maroon and White team. The total goals of the season was, for the opponents six against twenty- five for Springfield. The reason for this low score for the opponents was due to the fine defensive work of the backs and the goalie, this department being the strong point of the team. The Maroon and White team triumphantly opened its season by decisively de feating Brown University 3-1. The team from Springfield completely outclassed its op- ponents on attack and defense. The weather conditions at this game prevented each team from performing in ts best manner. The first half found little action with Springfield on the defense most of the time. The home team invaded Yale territory and came back with its one and only defeat. The score, 1-3, shows that it was an evenly matched game with the Eli men just a iittle better on the defense than the team from Massa- chusetts. From the opening to the end of the game, it J. A.

The team scored in the first thirty seconds of play as the result of the very excellent teamwork on the part of the forward line. The team from Springfield added this victory to the string of victories which the team of last season had made. Williston, handicapped by the absence of their star, John McEwan, failed to worry the “Jayvees” by any consistant attack. The next team on the Junior Varsity schedule was St. Stephens. The visitors fought gamely but to no avail before the driving Maroon and White machine. Scoring in the third quarter on a hard shot by Chapin, the Springfield team practically had the game clinched, for the Scarlet could not get within shooting distance of the Springfield goal. Shortly after the beginning of the fourth period Gillespie scored again on a pretty pass from Chapin, to make victory certain. The hooters however went down to defeat before the Yale Junior Varsity. Both teams showed a splendid attack and a well balanced de- fense. The Yale goal was threatened on several occasions but through the fine defensive work of Blunt, they managed to withstand the attacks. In the next game with the Conn. Aggies Juir’or Varsity, the team came back to its form and beat the visitors. The season ended with an even break for the Junior Varsity, showing three wins and three defeats. G. B.

MILLER Captain Lacrosse made its first appearance as a varsity sport last year under Coach Mohler, who has had considerable experience with the game. It is he, who began all the interest and actually bought sticks and other equipment so that the men could get started as soon as possible. Much interest was shown in the sport and enough players reported to form both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. The first trip of the season was an invasion of the Empire State where the Varsity team crossed sticks with the strong Syracuse team and the stronger Colgate team. Springfield lost both of these games by large scores but the experience which they gained far surpassed any consideration of the score. The following week they played St. Stephen’s. This was also a defeat for the Maroon and Whites. Then they won from Yale’s Junior Varsity 8-4 and went down to defeat before Harvard, losing the game by one goal. The stick weilders then defeated Brown and Williams in successive games and lost the last game to Dartmouth 2-5. Captain Miller, Captain-elect King, Large, Ready, and Whiting displayed marvelous strength throughout the season. Although many of the outstanding players will be lost to the 1929 teams, it is hoped that the experience which has been received this year will greatly benefit the teams for the next season. F. S. NAGLE Manager [ 164 ] THE MASSASOIT — I€ £9 Throughout the season the Junior Varsity team showed a strong defense and attack which can be readily used on this years varsity team. The Junior Varsity played a schedule of two games; the first with Harvard Frosh resulted in a 1-0 defeat, but in the next game with the Brown Frosh, the tables were turned to the tune of 4-1 in favor of the “Jay Vee’s”. In the Harvard game Coach Wades’ men missed shots continually throughout the game. The Harvard Frosh scored in the first 10 minutes of play; after that the Maroon and White outplayed the Crimson but were checked on goal shooting. While the Varsity was defeating the Brown Bear 3-2 the Junior Varsity was doing a better job on the Frosh, the game ending 4-1. The games were played at the Browri field at Providence in a driving rain which noticeably slowed up the characteristic fast playing. The Junior Varsity was entirely composed of Sophomores and Juniors who will be available for next year’s Varsity. It is the plan of this team to supply material for the Varsity and provide opposition in prac- tice. F. M.

This year the team has again completed a season of which it is justly proud. Many vacancies were to be filled at the beginning of the season, due to the graduation of Bardo, Dochat, Hebei and Arvo of last year’s team, and the prospects for another good team this season looked rather dull at the beginning of the campaign. The first meet with Boston University resulted in a decisive victory for the Maroon and White ducks who took first place in every event but one. The final score was 49-13. In the second meet of the season, the Spring- field mermen splashed their way to victory over the strong Wesleyan University team by the score of 52-28. This victory over Wesleyan gave Springfield the rating of one of the best tank teams in New England. The tanksters journeyed to Amherst on February second where they defeated the Sabrinas by a very close score. The following week-end the team met Williams at Williamstown, and had little trouble in defeating its opponents. With four straight victories to its credit the varsity encountered Worcester Tech in the McCurdy Natatorium, in a meet which proved to be the most exciting of the year. D. M. WILSON Manager J. L. ROTHACHER C.nach [ 166 ] THE MASSASOIT - I€ £9 ANDY BROWN Captain The final event decided the meet in favor of Springfield, with “Ironman” Clark shoulder- ing the brunt of the Maroon and White advances. The Saturday following the Worcester meet, the tankmen opposed Dartmouth at Hanover where they were decisively defeated. Throughout the remainder of the season the team showed that ever consistent form so familiar to Rothacher coached teams. Captain Brown proved to be an excellent leader and performer for the ducks throughout the season. Humphrey, Clark, Littlefield, Zweidinger, Nelson, and Beukema swam in excellent form in the freestyle, while Ford and Captain Brown did equally as well in the backstroke. Emmons and Bartolome proved valuable assets to the team in the breaststroke events. Walker, Springer and Hall showed real ability in the diving. [ 167 ] THE MASSASOIT - L. J. JUDD Coach Swift, Fielding, Chesley, Bowen Knowles, Judd Babcock, Bennett, Greene, Mitchell, Terry Cross-Country The Cross-Country team turned in a record for the rest of the school to be very proud of. They lost only two out of six meets and brought back to Springfield a championship which included a beautiful trophy that must be won three times for permanent ownership. This is the Harvard Inter-collegiates which is an organization of the smaller colleges of New England. The trophy which now resides at Springfield is a gift to the associ- ation from E. L. Farrell who was a former Harvard Cross-Country captain. In the opening meet, Coach Judd’s harriers were forced to bow to the strong Alfred team by a score of 27-28. As the score indicates it was a very closely con- tended meet. Captain Greene finished first for the Maroon and White but was second to Zchingor of Alfred. The Alfred team is well known and has figured very high in the Middle Atlantic States Championships. The Varsity hill and dalers broke into the win column the following week however, when they placed first in a triangular meet with Mass Aggies and St. Stephen’s. Coach Judd’s men were clearly the superiors as the score indicates: Springfield 26, M. A. C. 34, and St. Stephen’s 72, Captain Greene, Mitchell, and Bennett all came in R. A. KNOWLES M anager 1168 ] THE MASSASOIT - I9£9 abreast to tie for first place, while the nearest competitor was a full quarter-mile behind. Then came two meets on successive days which is really more than any team can stand. The harriers ran Wesleyan on Friday and beat them 18-34 and on Saturday were defeated by New Hampshire 34-21. Because they had run the previous day Springfield was not up to its usual brilliant form. It is doubtful if Captain Mack Greene and his mates could have taken over the strong Wildcats, but they could have at least made the score much more interesting had it not been for the other meet. The following men received the new minor letters for competing on the Cross-Country team: Captain Green, Mitchell, Bennett, Babcock, Fielding, Bowen, Chesley, Swift, Manager R. A.

The defeat came in the very first match of the season against Amherst. This was due to the fact that the Maroon and White racket weilders had had no outdoor practice previous to this match. The team had only one veteran remaining from the 1927 team and that was in the person of Captain Linde- man. The rest of the team had to be selected from an entirely new squad, and Coach Brock built about his captain a team that brought honor to Springfield. After the first match and defeat by Amherst the team began its long string of victories, slamming Tufts, Bos- ton College, Dartmouth, Colgate, and Trinity into sub- mission. The next to the last match however, halted this record. A rainy period set in for several days previous to the match with Wesleyan, and all practices were called off. When the team went to Wesleyan, the Cardinal and Black held the strong Springfield team to a 3-3 tie. J. D. BROCK Coach C.

The team dis- played an ever increasing amount of strength in these last matches, winning them all. “Ed” Jenkins, veteran wrestler and well known football player on the Maroon and White team, proved an asset to the grapplers, wrestling in the unlimited class. Nichols, and Cutler, veterans from last year, wrestled consistently throughout the year. Coe, Aman, and Rae, all members of the sophomore class, were available for the entire season. Captain Quimby and Booker made up the remainder of the team. Bob” Garland, a newcomer to the wrestling ranks, showed scrappy ability throughout the season. Coach Pennock received plenty of material from the sophomore class and combined with the veteran wrestlers w ' ho will return next year the prospects for next season look exceptionally promising.

T. KNOWLTON Captain H. W. BEERS Manager The Freshman gridsters of 1928 under the experienced direction of Coach DeGroat, were shaped into the best aggregation that has represented Springfield for years. Although a small schedule was arranged, the Frosh showed excellent spirit in winning all of their games. The first combat was with Loomis Academy which resulted in a 6-0 victory for the yearlings. The second game, with Mass Aggies Frosh, registered the second 6-0 victory and the Conn. Aggies Freshmen suffering a 19-7 defeat concluded the season. The excellent teamwork of the line and the remarkable attack of the backfield proved to be the foundation of the glorious season. Captain Knowlton, “Ted” Plumb, Wilhelm, and Draper were the outstanding performers of the year. Coach DeGroat registered his satisfaction with the team early in the season and promised Coach Rothacher that he would be able to turn over to him a valuable group of recruits for next year ' s varsity. The results of the season have certainly decided this and the future of football in Springfield for the next three years seems guaranteed. [ 174 ] THE MASSASOIT I « £ «) 1 Freshman Basketball R. W. LINDEMANN Coach G. M. CRUTCH Captain I). I). CORNELL Manager Coach Lindemann has proven to the basketball world that Freshmen can also turn out championship teams. The 1928-29 yearling team presented one of the smoothest working aggregations that has been seen for years in an incoming class to Springfield. The opening game with the Junior Varsity resulted in a 20-24 victory for the “Lindy men. Northampton C. C. was the second aggressor and lost by a 37-15 score. On January nineteenth Williston Academy invaded the West Gym determined to end the winning streak, but this was impossible and Williston was turned back by the humilating score of 36-13. Bay Path was the next opposition for the Frosh and they w ' thdrew from the court only when they had received a 36-25 defeat from the underclassmen. The Springfield Y. M. C. A. and Loomis Academy were then defeated in successive weeks by comfortable margins. The winning streak was mated only by a defeat at the hands of Worcester Academy. Throughout the remainder of the season Coach Lindemann ' s students played that ever- aggressive style of basketball, so familiar to all followers of Springfield basketball teams.

AMANN Captain R. S. MARKWARD Manager The Freshman track team enjoyed a fairly successful season during the Spring of 1928. Captain Amann and Babcock were consistent scorers throughout the season, Amann running in excellent form in the 440 yard event and Babcock performing equally as well in the dashes. The first meet with Hartford High School resulted in a 45-50 defeat for the yearlings, however they gained their stride to humble Choate by the decisive score of 87-39. On May twelfth the team journeyed to Roxbury where it was overpowered by one of the best prep school teams in the east. The following week presented a meet at Suffield where the Frosh came through with flying colors to the tune of a 72-59 score. Westminster Academv, which always turns out a strong group of individual stars had difficulty in turning back the Freshmen in the last meet of the season. Although defeated by twenty-two points, the underclassmen showed a consistent performance throughout the meet. Coach Judd should be highly commended for his excellent work in producing this team and Ray Markward added greatly to the success of the team by his marked assistance as a manager.

W. WEST Coach C. C. BAKER The Freshman Gym team included in its schedule five exhibitions; the first at Bucking- ham, then the Y. M. C. A. at Mittineague, All Saints Church at Springfield, Springfield Y. M. C. A. and the Westfield Y. M. C. A. There were a number of outstanding men on the team, the foremost being Syme, a tap dancer on the Keith Circuit for the past three years; DeNies, the parallel bar champion of New Hampshire and Barrett, a juggler of exceptional ability. Other men on the team were Conn, Toan, Pratt, Katsiginis, Stewart, Footrick, Barnett, Schlader and Simon. Charlie Erdman performed as pianist throughout the season and deserves credit for his talented accompaniments. The team in its first practices appeared inexperienced and rather awkward, however under the excellent coaching of Wilbur West, who is also assistant coach of the Varsity Gymnasts, the group gradually rounded into a clevert team. There are many possibilities that will be open to the yearlings on next year ' s gym team and with the close of another season the prospects for the Vars ' tv look encouraging.

TUTTLE Coach R. E. YERRINGTON Captain W. J. LEGGE Manager The Freshman baseball team began its season by defeating Bay Path 15-1, followed by a 7-4 victory over Assumption College. The game with Bay Path was more of a practice affair with Coach Tuttle using over thirty of his men. The next game with Roxbury proved only to show the strength of our first-year nine, the team beating the Yale Prep School 9-2. In the game with Dean it was like a story book affair, Lipp after striking out thirteen men, knocked a home run in the ninth inning to break a tie score. The two following games were easy one for the yearlings, Kent School taking a trouncing 11-1, and St, Thomas 12-0. The Frosh team showed a strong combination and certainly should be commended on its showing. There is good material in the team and the Varsity nine should be well stocked with baseball players for the next few years. The outstanding players for the season were: Ball the versatile catcher, and his battery mate, Lipp. Yerrington and Becker played an excellent brand of ball throughout the season.

He brought with him, his trusty camera, for he held the theory that memories are the best part of college life. Of course the campus first attracted his eye. The wide curving drive, the spacious cove o’er which the buildings loomed, the rotunda and the arches, were his first classic attempts to pic- turize the scenes of his college career. TheB aoid ' ai ' r va, rd H ITHER and thither did he go for his scenes of campus life. The mighty band at Har- vard certainly was a sight worth seeing. But better still was that crowd of royal rooters who by hook or crook had managed to get there. Every vehicle in the college garage was used; from horse and wagon down to rickety Fords and sporty roadsters. The opportunities given little John Henry were many and varied. m ' V ■ . 5uper or Bjocj{in 0 Before The Battle [other- Button Button!! T HE sophomore and freshman scraps gave John Henry a most gratifying chance to satisfy his whim to be a camera man. The trail of the Frosh through the water was followed diligently by the earnest lad. He hailed with glee the primitive scrap, called the flag rush, and the last bloody bat- tle, the cane rush, found our here on the scene taking pictures where chance afforded. Soon Afterwards ! T HE freshmen seemed to be the butt in many of John Henry’s scenes. Those unfortunates, who because of some infraction of rules were forced to wear convict suits, suf- fered most. Some wise Junior dad was pictured while giving his son a lecture in regard to the re- stricted moustache. John Henry certain- ly could not overlook an opportunity of re- cording the memor- able events which oc- cured at the infor- mal initiation, where Frosh are Frosh and they know it ! y A Jn N vr - eruor J OHN by this time had develop- ed a keen technique at the art. He would creep softly into a room and snap the unsuspect- ing inhabitants before they were aware. Many were the odd scenes taken in this manner. The stu- dent carrying a stack of books, or the senior with his notes in his pockets, also faced the camera. The checker players in the social hall were always ready to pose. That Soph! n M m m 1 .--.a I Hell Pass f ” Wmi ' ' What! An Cbtrich? The Reformer J OHN Henry, not being a social man, decided upon having some social scenes to add to his collec- tion. The Junior Prom offered him an oppor- tunity, as he managed to catch the committee sing- ing hymns under an arc light and running through signal practice previous to the big social function The young man on his knees may really be look- ing for his collar button, but why imitate an ost- rich? Letters now meant that she could or could not attend the Promenade. WM ts;s- College Dazie? if The Fighting Social Men ! Hpg: f� 7 ' Can She Come? HoJ-WMsThis J OHN Henry happened one day, to catch Speak E. Z., the renowned detective, in the act of examining a door knob. He was probably on the trail of the individual who shot his gun in the dormitory. Whether it be tragedy or comedy — whether it be lacrosse men soar- into the ether, or “Big Bill” smashing one back — John always got his scene. He’ll be a success someday. Don’t Be LiKe That ! O F course John Henry realized he needed some snow scenes to make his collection complete. Many were the beautiful scenes offered him. The boat- house however seemed to afford the best ones. But who among you can say that John Henry has not made an excellent collection of pictures on the campus? He will be commended no doubt, by his Dad upon the success he has attained by merit of his pal — Joe Camera.
