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

a;, 7i f ur IthleticS Completing his seventh year as Acad¬ emy coach, Mr. Richard Scharf has es¬ tablished for himself the name of a cap¬ able coach, just as he earned the title of a good athlete while in college. In Dick’s four years here as a college student he earned eleven letters; in football, basket¬ ball and baseball. He has been referred to as the greatest halfback St. Joseph’s has ever produced. In his seven years here as a coach he has to his credit the best teams St. Joseph’s Academy has ever produced. The proof of his ability is found in the results. Dick does not con¬ tent himself with fashioning a fighting machine in the particular sport, but goes deeper. Because of the ideals he instilled, many of those he has trained are living fine Christian lives. It was this closeness and interest between coach and player that brought the athletes to give their all when he called upon them. Assistant coaches are often as impor¬ tant as the head coach. Mr. Fred Jones of Gary proved this by his capable aid to Dick Scharf for the past year. Gaining practical experience in college, “Butch,” as he is known to the students, served as a running mate with Mr. Scharf. In addi¬ tion to several monograms he was given the honor of “All Conference Tackle.” It was through his efforts, as well, that the Cubs were able to attain their present record, for it is to him they owe much helpful advice. Also assisting on the coaching staff during the football season was Mr. James Puett, an able lineman. Graduating from Butler as an All-State center for three consecutive years, Jim was a member of the Portsmouth, Ohio, professional team when it was a member of the national leagues. Page sixty-one
