FATHER ROOF Father Edward Roof is in his sixth year as director of athletics at St. Joseph’s. During his directorship the Academy teams have surged slowly and steadily to a posi¬ tion of recognition. The players on the various teams are inspired by Father’s in¬ terest in their personal welfare. A game is rarely played without Father Roof being- close by to keep the players in high spirits with Ids untiring encouragement before, during, and after the games. Father Roof is the greatest “Cub” fan and the truest friend. DICK SCHARF Mr. Richard Scharf has been head coach at St. Joseph’s Academy for the last three years. In this time he has turned out some very good teams. “Dick,” as he is known among the fellows, teaches Ids team to play hard, clean ball, and to take defeat when it comes with good grace. He is well liked by the players and they always give their best when he calls upon them. Dick does not content himself with fashioning a fight¬ ing machine in the particular sport but goes deeper. Because of the ideals he in¬ stilled. many of those he tutored are living fine Christian, gentlemanly lives.

Scharf. BASEBALL Students desiring to try out for the varsity baseball team report to the fieldhouse this afternoon.” With this notice from Coach Scharf, one of the best teams in St. Joseph’s Academy history started its season. The 1942 Cub nine compiled an enviable record with seven victories and only one defeat. Their victories were over Oxford and Reynolds twice, and Remington, Goodland, and St. John of Ottawa, Ohio, each once. The Cubs lone defeat came in the final game of the season when they made an over-night trip to Lima, Ohio, to play St. Rose. It was a hard-fought extra-inning contest, and was decided by two fortunate breaks for St. Rose. The highlight of the year was a triple play that the Cubs executed on a ground ball against Reynolds. The play went from Wunderlich-Mallock-Dobe to McElroy. At the conclusion of the season twelve players were awarded mono¬ grams for their stellar play. Among those stalwarts were: Ray Camp, hard hitting centerfielder, whose 410 batting average led the Cub batters; Bob Hall and Gearald Leahy, leftfielder and rightfielder, respectively, both with batting averages above 300 and invaluable on defense; John Wunderlich, who batted 313 and played a bang-up game at shortstop all season; Dobe, McElroy, and Mallock, all did much for the team’s offense and defense. The pitching staff of Ruschau, Joseph, and Capt. Gavin allowed but 34 hits between them in eight games, for an average of only 4.25 hits per game. The team owes much to Coach Scharf for its successful season. His hard work and the many sacrifices made during the baseball season should be highly commended.
