The Torch and VINCENTVXN received Their guoTas oT yearling scribes: The Freshman courT squad, composed oT such men as lVlurTha, Marchese, Bongiorno, Quagliana, 5exTon, and Giblin, proved a Tormidable Toe Tor all comersg The lasT VincenTian gridiron army was considerably bolsTered by The work oT MurTha, Asip, Donnellan, LiTTle and La Rosa, Mu Nu Ivlu, a sTricTly Freshman organizaTion, proved iTs worTh as a medium oT comic expression: The music clubs were greaTly enhanced by The addiTion oT several cap-and-Tie models: The annual dramaTic producTion had broughT new TalenT To The Tore, and wiThin a shorT Time The class oT '35 was well on iTs way Towards school leadership. The TirsT aTTempT aT organizaTion on The parT oT The yearlings re- sulTed in The elecTion oT Joe 5exTon as PresidenT7 Joe lvlarchese, Vice- PresidenTp John Roehmer, 5ecreTaryg VincenT l.iTTle, Treasurer, and Bob Dodd as class represenTaTive To The STudenT Council. AcTing wiTh a greaTer Teeling oT conTidence, engendered by iTs newly organized leadership, The class immediaTely seT abouT plans Tor iTs TorThcoming dance and shorTly aTTer iTs ChrisTmas vacaTion made iTs brillianT debuT inTo The social world aT The l-loTel Towers. Chairman Ed Asip and his commiTTeemen succeeded marvelously in This, our TirsT ven- Ture, and Thus rang down The curTain on a memorable year. The Class oT '35 had proved iTs worTh and all ST. John's loolced Torward wiTh greaT expecTaTion To iTs TuTure worlq. Sophomore 1932 EPTEIVIBER, l932, Tound The class oT '35 once more uniTed-no longer The shy, slinlcing Freshmen buT now The swaggering, blood-ThirsTy Sophomores Themselves. Une brieT year aT ST. John's had worlced a marvelous TransTormaTion in The Tormer yearlings and now, supplemenTed by several TransTers Trom oTher insTiTuTions, They reTurned, benT on wreak- ing Their vengeance upon The Timorous, unoTTending Frosh. Led by Vinnie LiTTle and his husky band oT ViliganTes, The Sophs im- mediaTely proceeded To insTrucT The newcomers inTo The spiriT, TradiTions, and expecTaTions oT ST. John's. lNloT saTisTied To leT This insTrucTion be conTined To The sTrong arm, The harsh voice and The sTinging paddle, how- ever, The Sophomores, anxious To seT an example Tor Their charges, plunged inTo a whirl oT acTiviTy and began To assume Their righTTul places as leaders. When The Time came To selecT iTs oTTicers Tor The year, The class placed iTs TrusT in lvlichael O'Donnell, President Charles Burns, Vice-Presi- denTg NorberT Kearns, SecreTaryg VincenT LiTTle, Treasurer, and John, Page 43 GIITTIHITTIEQ JIlQlJ5TT5v 'VTITNTETIESTINITCTITTITAN Donnellan and WilTred MurTha as class represenTaTives To The STudenT Council. On Thanksgiving Eve The ThirTy-Fivers opened The social season oT The college wiTh Their colorTul Eall dance in The new De Gray l-lall. The newly compleTed gymnasium, decoraTed in TasTiclious TasTe, plus The popular dance Tunes as inTerpreTed by Bob Souers and his orchesTra, provided a unique seTTing Tor The TradiTional aTTair. The greaT success achieved by The class in iTs TirsT Sophomore underTaking was due, in a large measure, To The unTiring eTTorTs oT Chairman James Mannix and his commiTTee. Inspired by The successTul compleTion oT This laTesT sTep on Their way To glory, The eager Sophomores Turned Their eTTorTs To The less Tormal acTiviTies ThroughouT The college. In The husTle and busTle oT newspaper work on The Torch They showed exTraordinary abiliTyg on The sTaTT oT The VINCENTIAN They shone as embryonic STevensons, ChesTerTons and Bellocsi in The Tield oT sporTs They were veriTable dynamos oT acTiviTyg and on The speakers' plaTTorm They proved Themselves To be The acme oT perTecTion in The Torensic arT. Such energy could noT go unrewarded and, ere The year l932 had passed inTo The realm oT hisTory, The class received iTs TirsT public recogniTion oT worTh wiTh The selecTion oT Joe SexTon as ChieT oT The Braves. Perhaps The greaTesT achievemenT oT The second-year men, however, was The greaT parT played by Them in The annual dramaTic presenTaTion. The sTerling inTerpreTaTions given by WebsTer McCue, Edward EiTz- Gerald and John Newman in The awe-inspiring war piece, Journey's End, will linger long in The memory oT The class oT '35. Junior 1933 S THEIR reTiring aTTiTude had beTrayed Them as Freshmen, as Their braggadocio had sTamped Them as Sophomores, so Their calm, cool digniTy and scholarly appearance disTinguished The members oT The Class oT '35 as Juniors when, in SepTember, I933, They reTurned To ST. John's To compleTe The lasT halT oT Their college careers. AT The ouTseT, The ediTing oT The Torch loomed' beTore Them as Their greaTesT Task. Under The capable direcTion oT John Springer as EdiTor-in- ChieT, however, The mounTainous assignmenT gradually assumed mole- hill proporTions and wiThin a shorT Time The publicaTion was recognized as one oT The besT college newspapers on The Seaboard. AssisTing Mr. Springer in subordinaTe ediTorial posiTions were NorberT Kearns, SporTs EdiTorq William Avanzi, Managing EdiTorg John Newman, AssociaTe Edi- Torg Edward EiTzgerald, ConTribuTing EdiTorg William Garvey, Copy Edi- Tor, Michael O'Donnell, Business Manager, and AlTonso AnasTasio, Cir- Page 44 i culaTion Manager. Rendering invaluable aid To The ediTors as reporTers were Edwin Gardner, RoberT Dodd, Joseph SexTon, Harold Sharkey and AnThony LopilaTo. The selecTion oT The class oTTicers, as in Tormer years, TesTiTied To The keen iudgmenT oT The Third-year men. Recognizing The rare execuTive abiliTy OT Michael O'Donnell, The Juniors reTurned him To oTTice as Presi- denT Tor a second Term. The oTher oTTicers selecTed were Edward Asip, Vice-PresidenTg PeTer Quagliana, SecreTary, and VincenT LiTTle, Treasurer. As STudenT Council represenTaTives John Donnellan, MarTin Azzara and WilTred MurTha upheld The class crediTably on all occasions. As in all oTher Things They had led, so Too The dynamic Juniors Took The iniTiaTive in dramaTics. The Thespians, in elecTing John SchlechTer as PresidenT and DirecTor, Took a Tremendous sTep Torward. True To The greaT TrusT which had been placed in him, however, The new direcTor presenTed a dramaTic producTion which meT wiTh greaT success each oT The Tive Times iT was presenTed. OTher Juniors numbered in The casT were Edward FiTzgerald, John Newman, WebsTer McCue and Joseph SexTon-all veTerans oT pasT perTormances. ln The esTablishmenT oT The Three new organizaTions which came inTo being aT This Time The prominenT Juniors played a maior parT. Joseph Gleason, as EdiTor-in-ChieT oT The Sequoya, John Springer as Chairman oT The MinuTe Men and Edwin Gardner as EdiTor-in-ChieT oT DeuTsches MonaTsblaTT all lenT noble supporT To The new expansive policies oT The insTiTuTion. NOT conTining Their acTiviTies To liTerary realms, however, The Third year men also paced The aTTack in The Tield oT aThleTics. Adding To The greaTer glory oT ST. John's on The courT were Joe Marchese and Chip- pie MurTha, while CapTain Mike O'Donnell led The VarsiTy swordsmen To a record-breaking season on The maT. WiTh The colorTul Tap Day ceremonies The acTiviTies oT The men oT '35 were broughT To a TiTTing close. AT This Time The TondesT hopes oT Those men, who by Their ardenT labors Tor Three years had become recognized as leaders, were realized by Their enTrance inTo The hallowed ranks oT Skull and Circle. Those inducTed were The Tollowing: Michael O'Donnell, Edward EiTzgerald, John Newman, William Avanzi, Joseph SexTon, RoberT Dodd, John Springer, WilTred MurTha, Edmund Giblin, William Garvey, WebsTer McCue and AlTonso AnasTasio. ' Senior 1934 S Tl-lE Time comes when all Things musT have an end, so Too The Time draws near when we, The Class oT '35, musT Take our leave Trom The hallowed halls which Tor Tour happy years have been our second homes.

Under The proven leadership oT PresidenT Sam Calhoun, The class has worked deTerminaTely To a brillianT climax oT an equally brillianT career. The oTher oTTicers Tor The Term were: John Newman, Vice-PresidenTg PeTer Quagliana, SecreTary, and VincenT LiTTle, Treasurer. WilTred MurTha, Michael O'Donnell, Edmund Giblin, Charles Burns and John Donnellan served on The STudenT Council. Mr. MurTha was laTer honored wiTh The highesT execuTive posiTion oT The Council. The Speakers AssociaTion under The leadership oT John Newman as STudenT PresidenT Took on a new and added signiTicance as a proponenT oT CaTholic principles. Edward Asip, Joseph Gleason, Francis Monusky, William Garvey and Michael O'Donnell carried The brunT oT The speaking assignmenTs during The year. The Task oT ediTing The VINCENTIAN, a TradiTional Senior work, was an arduous one indeed, buT wiTh The presenTaTion oT so Tine a work The ediTors may reioice in The Teeling oT a Task well done.

InsTead oT indulging in The youThTul, careTree hosTiliTies oT The underclassmen, The new Junior Class garbed iTselT in The cap and gown, The signiTicanT mark oT The digniTied, maTure upperclassman. In donning This TradiTional dress, college liTe Took on a more serious aspecT Tor The Third year men as They began To assume more responsibiliTies and duTies in The exTra-curricular liTe oT ST. John's The Juniors TirsT came acTually in conTacT wiTh These new responsi- biliTies when They began To ediT The Torch, The weekly newspaper oT The college. This publicaTion is annually placed under The supervision oT The Junior Class. John A. Sullivan was selecTed by his predecessors To assume The duTies oT EdiTor-in-ChieT. Through The medium oT The ediTorial column he discussed The major issues OT The day Trom The view- poinT oT a CaTholic collegian and crusaded Tor an increased supporT oT all undergraduaTe acTiviTies by The sTudenT body. The ObservaTion Tower was wriTTen by Charles E. Graves in his capaciTy oT AssociaTe EdiTor. A wide range oT reading and an inTeresT in hisTorical guesTions proved his adapTabiliTy Tor This posiTion.

The TruTh oT This axiom was again demonsTraTed by The Juniors in Their selecTion oT class oTTicers. To John A. l-lamilTon Tell The loT, as PresidenT, oT guiding This group oT college men Through Their Third year aT ST. John's. When l-larry J.

The TraoliTional cusTom oT holding a Junior Prom was received again under The regime oT The class oT '36, ln Their selecTion oT a Chairman Tor The Junior Prom CommiTTee, The Juniors displayed The same iudg- menT ThaT They had maniTesTed in Their selecTion oT class oTTicers.

Due To The enThusiasm, TalenT and acTiviTy oT a Junior, a minor exTra-curricular acTiviTy assumed maior proporTions during '35, Bringing To This educaTional and enTerTaining pursuiT noT only execuTive abiliTy buT also excepTional brilliance as a speaker and as an exponenT oT The Torensic arT, George O.

The premier social evenT oT each year is The Crusade Bridge and Dance. ln The successTul aTTair conducTeol This year, The cooperaTion oT The Third year men was very much in evidence.

AlThough much oT The space in This boolf alloTTed To The Junior Class Tor a record oT iTs achievemenTs has been uTilized by The LiTerary, DramaTic, and Social acTiviTies, many Third year men played a prom- inenT parT in ThaT oTher branch oT exTra-curricular endeavor, namely, aThleTics.

DeGray T-Tall, colorTully decoraTed and bedecked wiTh banners oT red and whiTe, echoed wiTh The happy Tread oT TeeT dancing To The music oT Ed Cunningham's OrchesTra. The dance was TeaTured by The ceremonies oT Tormal cessaTion oT hosTiliTies beTween The Two sTudenT groups. This consisTed mainly in The smoking oT The peace pipe by PaTrick Joyce and Ed Clair, co-chairmen oT The Sophomore and Freshman classes.

AThleTically, The Class oT '37 inspired oThers To win where iT could noT iTselT garner The coveTed laurel wreaTh. This was True especially in The inTer-class Track and TooTball conTesTs, wherein The Sophomores in The TirsT evenT closely pursued The Freshmen To vicTory and in The second, by Their deTeaT, inspired a gallanT TighTing spiriT in The yearlings, which spiriT however could noT wiThsTand The crushing power oT The Seniors.

Page l68 l WHT? ,,,A, ll , , -ll3lYT'ElWT.flTllsSN 1 , The Catholic Poetry Society l-llf Catholic Poetry Society is the most recently organized ot all the extra-curricular activities ot the college. lt came into being in the spring ot I934. Originally intending to become a branch ot the National Catholic Poetry Society ot America, the societyahas not as yet achieved its primary aim. Being so youthtul it has not telt the necessity ot this step. At present the society is content to tollow its secondary purpose. This latter end is that the society provide a means ot bringing together all the undergraduates who protess ability in the writing ot poetry, and those, likewise, who show their interest in poesy by their criticism and marked liking tor verse. ln this way the tounders ot the so- ciety hope to accomplish two things. Pirst, the students who write poetry will have an audience tor their works, and secondly the student critics will have an opportunity tor united and guided criticism ot their tellows' ettorts. Thus two ends have been achieved. The poet protits by triendly criticism, and the untutored critic learns to criticize properly. Perhaps in a year or two the society will teel that it has obtained enough experience with good verse to enable it to ioin the National Society and thus achieve its primary goal. Towards this end the present members ot the society are ambitiously striving. Under the paternally wise direction ot Doctor McKee, ot the English Department, the society has grown and become a worthy member ot the college extra-curricular activity family. Aiding him, and still turthering the society's ends, John V. Newman and Edward J. Fitzgerald, both ot the class ot '35, served as President and Secretary, respectively.

As its tirst step in this direction, the traternity promulgated anew its ideals and aims. Fundamentally the society's aims are ot a social and a religious nature. Being a Fraternity, A.l.D. holds tenaciously to its pur- pose ot creating a bond ot triendship between all classes ot students in the college. Likewise it aspires to a high religious ideal, that ot ex- emplitying in its members the virtuous and sanctitying Catholic type ot man. To this latter end the members ot A.l.D. respond nobly by receiv- ing the Blessed Sacrament in a body, every First Friday, in the Perboyre Chapel. In spirit with the changing methods and its reiustitication ot ideals, the Fraternity received a new Moderator, Father Walter Blake, ot the Philosophy department. Through his guidance and untiring ettorts the Fraternity has been reestablished on the true Christian basis ot brother- hood and knowledge. The Don Pedro Room ot the Towers Hotel was the scene ot the an- nual dance held during the Christmas holidays. The social was a success beyond all expectations, due entirely to the unceasing work ot Chairman Anthony Durso, '35. Through the year the attairs ot the traternity were guided by Al- phonso Anastasio, '35, President: Louis Cavallaro, '35, Vice-President: Anthony Durso, '35, Treasurerg Julius Bigliani, '36, Secretary, and Domi- nic Europa, '35, Sergeant-at-Arms.

NineTeen ThirTy-Tour's shadow was long as The ChieTs, Their record unsullied, moved ouT oT DeGray l-lall and inTo Madison Square Garden Tor Their TirsT oT Tour appearances in The Big l-louse. WesTminsTer College, Tri-STaTe Con- Terence champions, provided The opposiTion and iTs greaT big ace, Wes BenneTT, provided The phenomenon.

The second sTop was The occasion oT The bi-yearly Tarce wiTh Providence in The Friars' den. For This TradiTional Trolic, one Parlcer, lcnown in some quarTers as a reTeree, is perennially pressed inTo service and he was especially up To Torm This year. ln The narrow conTines OT The baTTle- scarred Dominican gym, The lndians were massacred, 58-26, alThough behind by only eighT poinTs aT The halT. lv1isTer Parlcer Thumbed lvlarchese ouT oT The ball game Tor raising his voice or making Taces behind his lParlcer'sl baclc.

The loss oT six veTerans Trom The previous year's Team, including The enTire ouTTield, didn'T make The prospecTs Tor a successTul season any Too brighT.

The inTield, consisTing oT Moloney, Carey, Quagliana and Black, wiTh MarTin in reserve, loomed as sTrong as any in The meTropoliTan secTor.

DespiTe Their vicTory, The Redmen looked Tar Trom impressive in Their I934 debuT. On The Tollowing Sunday, The Indians meT Brooklyn College aT DexTer Park, and a large crowd wiTnessed one oT The TinesT played col- IegiaTe games ever seen in The ciTy. The Redmen eked ouT a I To 0 Triumph over The Ivlaroons, buT only aTTer Ioquacious Johnny Dixson had relieved Joe Coppo in The ninTh inning and quelled a lasT minuTe Brooklyn uprising. Rolling merrily along wiTh a Two game winning sTreak To Their crediT, The Redmen were sTopped in Their nexT TiIT by IvIanhaTTan College who Took advanTage oT Tive ST.

The Friars, vicTors by a 6-2 score, Tell on Dixson Tor Ten hiTs, combining six oT Them in a TurbuIenT second inning ThaT neTTed all oT Their runs. On April 24Th, The Redmen asTounded everybody by smashing ouT a I6 To 7 win over The highly Tavored New York UniversiTy squad aT Ohio Field. IT was The TirsT Time ThaT ST. John's has been able To deTeaT The I-Iall oT Famers since Buck Freeman became baseball coach here. The Indians ran wild in The second inning when They Tallied eighT runs To cinch The game beyond argumenT. The VincenTians conTinued Their slugging ways several days laTer by wreaking havoc on The Wagner College squad To The calliope Tune oT 9-6. ATTer scoring a ToTal oT TwenTy-Tive runs in eighTeen innings, The Indians Traveled up To Jasper Field where They losT a 2-I hearTbreaker To IVlanhaTTan. The Tickle Goddess oT Baseball conTinued To Trown on The Redmen, and in Their nexT game They were blanked 8 To O by Bill GoTTlieb, N. Y. U.'s ace hurler. Two days laTer, The Indians subdued The C. C. N. Y. nine by a 4 To I counT, and in doing so Turned in whaT was perhaps Their TinesT exhibiTion OT The season. The Tollowing 5aTurday, The Indians won Their sevenTh game oT The year by rouTing PraTT InsTiTuTe in a I9-5 run maraThon. On Sunday, May I3Th, wiTh Two-Thirds OT The season gone, ST.

In The same week, The Redmen added Upsala College To Their IisT oT vicTims by baTTing ouT an easy 5-2 win behind Joe Coppo's niTTy Tive hiT piTching. A Back on Brooklyn soil again, The Indians Tried To repeaT an early- season scalping oT The Brooklyn College array, buT This Time meT wiTh indiTTerenT success. AlThough The Braves ouThiT Their rivals by an I I To 8 margin, The Kingsmen used Their bingles To beTTer advanTage and Tallied six runs while The Red and WhiTe nine was able To geT only Tour. On DecoraTion Day, The CrescenT A. C. won ouT in Their annual game wiTh The Redmen by garnering six runs in a hecTic Third inning which provided The margin Tor Their 6-5 vicTory. InabiIiTy To evade Their one bad inning iinx cosT The Indians anoTher TiIT, This Time To Providence on The Friars' home diamond. 5chooIboy Dixson piTched a greaT brand oT ball, buT iT was insuTTicienT To oTFseT his TeammaTes' errors aT The crucial momenTs. Thus The Tinal score read 4-I in Tavor oT The Rhode Islanders. In a reTurn game wiTh C. C. N. Y., The VincenTians absorbed a 4-2 deTeaT aT The hands oT The Beavers.

ThaT in shorT, is The progress ThaT Tencing has made aT ST. .lohn's since iTs incepTion here eighT years ago. The small band oT sTalwarTs ThaT organized The TirsT Team in I927 was a Tar cry Trom The presenT Three weapon squad ThaT has expanded To such an exTenT ThaT There are now VarsiTy, Junior-VarsiTy and Freshmen Teams. The rise oT Tencing here has been noThing shorT oT phenomenal, and whereas in The TirsT years oT iTs organizaTion The Team had To be conTenT wiTh high school and college Treshmen squads as opposiTion, we now Tind The Red and WhiTe swords- men engaging in maTches wiTh The Tencing TiTans oT The EasT. Faced wiTh a schedule ThaT noT only included inTercoIIegiaTe cham- pions, buT Olympic and naTional TiTlehoIders as well, Coach Ernie I-Iaberle realized ThaT The success oT The Team would depend on how well The Red- men could handle The epee and saber weapons. As Tor The Toils, The VincenTian menTor had no worries Tor in The words oT a local newspaper, greaT Toils Teams have become a TradiTion aT ST. John's. The ScarIeT Hurricane swepT Through iTs TirsT Three maTches wiTh a minimum oT eTTorT. The Indians opened Their season by Toying around wiTh The Long Island U. Tencers. CapTain Mike O'DonneIl led his maTes in The I3-4 rouT oT The Blackbirds by snaring Tive bouTs wiThouT exerTing any undue pressure. Led by Jack Freese, '32, Casper La Rosa, '34, and IVIarTin Bailey, '33, The Alumni came on The scene nexT wiTh every inTenTion oT showing The VarsiTy ThaT There were sTill a Tew Tricks IeTT in The old boys. The VarsiTy, vicTors by a IO-7 counT, were given a scare in The Toils division where They gained a 5-4 decision To run The 4W-yearlun- deTeaTed Toil sTreak To 23 meeTs. lvIeT in a reTurn maTch, I.. I. U. was decisively Trounced again, This Time by The one- sided score oT I4 To 3. The Indians added anoTher noTch in Their IisT oT Toils vicTories by slashing ouT an 8--I win over The DownTowners. Then came The acid TesTs wiTh The ciTy's premier Tencers. WiThin The span oT Tew days, The VincenTians engaged in pracTice maTches wiTh The SalTus Fencing Club, and The renowned New York Fencers Club. BoTh Teams are made up aImosT enTirely oT American and BriTish Olympic veTerans, and The Fencers Club is The possessor oT The Three-weapon championship oT The U. S. The Redmen enTered These maTches wiTh a David-and-GoIiaTh complex, buT experi- ence was To Tell The sad, sad, sTory, and The Red and WhiTe duelers incurred Their TirsT seTbacks oT The season. Try as They mighT, The Redmen iusT COACH HABERLE Page 205 GTIHII5?--lI9l3?IVlIllT couldn'T cope wiTh The SalTus Club conTingenT who won raTher handily by a I9-8 score. Odd as iT may seem, iT was The saber ouTTiT ThaT saved The Indians Trom uTTer ignominy, whereas The Toilsmen whom The Team depended on so much wenT compleTely To pieces and were aT The mercy oT The clubmen. Then came The Fencers Club wiTh Alessandroni, ArmiTage, I-leiss, Jaeckel--masTers alll Once more The siTuaTion was a helpless one. Again iT was a 'case oT mere youTh conTending wiTh middle- aged wizardry. However, This Time The Indians reTused To be sacriTicial lambs and They ToughT wiTh a Tury ThaT knew no bounds, buT once more masTery was To have iTs way and The clubsTers Tinally won ouT by a narrow I5--I2 margin. On February 9, wiTh The season iusT abouT halT Tinished, The Redmen suTTered Their Third deTeaT, This Time To WesT PoinT. Slowed up by in- iuries, conTused by new inTerpreTaTions oT The rules and conTronTed by one oT The Army's greaTesT aggregaTions oT recenT years, The Indians could do very liTTle buT absorb a I9-8 seTback aT The hands oT The cadeTs. Back on Their home sTrips again, The VincenTians swepT Through Their maTches wiTh Lehigh and M. I. T. To The Tunes oT I I-6 and I3--4 re- specTively. Mike O'DonnelI made shorT work oT Tour opponenTs in The Lehigh meeT while Charley O'NeilI snared Three bouTs againsT M. I. T. The Redmen wound up Their season on Toreign sTrips. lnabiIiTy To hold Their own wiTh The saber weapon was The direcT reason Tor The l I-6 deTeaT received Trom Columbia. The Indians had an excelIenT chance To upseT The over-conTidenT Lions who didn'T seem To Think very much oT The Red and WhiTe's chances Tor vicTory. The Morningside I-leighTs Team wiTh Two inTercollegiaTe TiTleholders in Their lineup, held only a one maTch advanTage going inTo The saber bouTs. WiTh such a sensaTionaI upseT wiThin Their grasp, The VincenTians collapsed compIeTely in The saber di- vision oT The meeT, and conseguenTIy gave The Blue and WhiTe a Tive poinT vicTory. A Trip To New I-Iaven To engage The Yale Reserves proved proTiTable Tor The Redmen who had Things preTTy much Their own way ThroughouT The meeT, swamping The Bulldogs To The Tune oT I3 To 9. Charley O'INleilI became a Tive bouT man by Taking Tive sTraighT encounTers Trom his Tamed adversaries. For Their lasT encounTer oT The season, The Redmen were inviTed To Annapolis by The crack Naval Academy sword-wielders. The Midship- men gave our boys a rousing welcome, and were ideal social hosTs in proTTering Them a glad hand. BuT The TuTure admirals didn'T Turn ouT To be very congenial hosTs once The maTches goT under way. Once again The grueling TwenTy-seven maTch seT-up proved much Too arduous Tor The Indians who were sunk by The Middies, The Tinal score reading I9 To 8. Alex Jones did sparTan work Tor The Red and WhiTe in The TuTiIe cause by Taking Tour bouTs.
