S M ddebincl Jbe cenes . . . . Next most important thing to the ball in an athletic contest at St. Joseph’s is Father Edward Roof, C.PP.S. Few Ath¬ letic Directors have ever equaled the faithfulness of Fr. Roof in his untiring intere st in promoting the welfare of ath¬ letics of all forms. His attendance at athletic contests was never wanting, and his interest in the game was in the in¬ dividual player. It has always been his effort to sponsor competition which would be of the most benefit to both school and team. Having successfully served for ten years in the capacity of Athletic Direc¬ tor, Father has achieved his hope of mak¬ ing St. Joseph’s widely known, not only for its participation in sports, but for its skillful and clean sportsmen as well. Father Roof’s interest does not end with varsity sports. He is head and chief sponsor of the intramural program, which is so important at St. Joseph’s. Good sportsmen require good equip¬ ment. St. Joseph’s provides everything that any sports minded fellow could de¬ sire. Basketball floors, baseball dia¬ monds, tennis courts and gymnastic equipment are a few of the many facili¬ ties. The equipment is all of excellent quality. Despite the weather, multiple diversions are offered—all tending to make the athlete a better man. Of course, the Athletic Director is im¬ portant, and good equipment necessary, but the burden of producing a good team rests on the coach. St. Joseph’s has a good team, which fact indicates an effi¬ cient and skillful coach. Page sixty
