FROM ITS FOUNDING IN 1855, WHEN IT BECAME THE ARBITER OF COUNTLESS MINING DISPUTES AS POSSESSING THE ONE LABORATORY WHERE A JUST ASSAY WAS ASSURED, THROUGH THE DAYS WHEN IT WAS THE WESTERN TERMINUS OF THE NEWLY OPENED TRANSCONTINENTAL TELEGRAPH, THROUGH THE TIME WHEN IT OPERATED THE ONLY COMMERCIAL ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT IN THE WORLD AND ILLUMINATED MARKET STREET WITH ARC LIGHTS AS EARLY AS 1879, INTO THE YEAR 1880 WHEN IT ESTABLISHED SAN FRANCISCO AS A CENTER OF SCIENTIFIC LEARNING BY BEING DECLARED ONE OF THE FIVE MOST COMPLETELY EQUIPPED RESEARCH LABORATORIES IN THE NATION, UP TO THE GREAT FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE OF 1906 WHEN THE UNIVERSITY, ITS BUILDINGS AND ALL ITS POSSESSIONS WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED, AND THROUGH THE LONG, SLOW DAYS OF RECONSTRUCTION UP TO THE PRESENT OPENING ERA OF PROSPERITY, WHEN IT REMAINS THE ONLY UNIVERSITY WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY, THE UNIVERSITY HAS NOT ONLY BEEN AN INTIMATE BUT EVEN AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE LIFE OF OUR CITY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK, WHILE PRIMARILY TO RECORD THE HAPPENINGS OF OUR UNIVERSITY AT THE PRESENT TIME, IS ALSO TO REVIVIFY AND MORE CLOSELY JOIN THE PRESENT UNIVERSITY WITH THE TRADI TIONS OF ITS PAST. in Jflemortam REV.

Whelan. It was not only fitting and proper that Father Whelan should have been privileged to guide through its crisis the enterprise to which he is so devoted, but it was practically imperative in the cause of a greater University of San Francisco. Although too much credit cannot Ik- given to Father President for the advancement of the University, his able assistants need not look for acclaim in the limelight of his reflected glory. The work of Father I lubert J. Flynn, though inconspicuous as he would make it, has merited deep appreciation from the men over whom he has served as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. The record of the College of Law and the growth of the coeducational Extension Division arc concrete tributes to the influence of Father Charles F. Carroll, Regent of Law. The advancement which is sure to come during the next year and the year following that will Ik due chiefly to the foundation which these men have laid. Fortunately two of them will be able to participate in that progress, while the third happily will be able to see in it the expression of his seven years of devotion and service to his alma mater.

OFFICERS 1931 1932 The Associated Students of the University have been particularly fortunate in having had the administration of the affairs of government in the hands of competent executives. George W. Ososkc has been both an earnest and a capable President of the College of Arts and Science. Vice-president Edwin T. Murphy has dispensed with a thoroughness and deftness his manifold duties. The efficiency of Robert A. Britt as secretary left little to be desired. Bernard ). Carr proved an able financier in his capacity as treasurer. John F. Shelley, a man who has been associated prominently with University affairs during the past few years, was selected as president of the College of Law and Commerce. Richard E. Fitzgerald served under him as vice-president. These men, together with John A. Curtis as treasurer. William F. Butters as secretary, and Thomas W. Carroll functioned flawlessly as an administrative unit. Both in the Day College and in the Evening Division much greater efficiency has been developed than in the first few years under the present constitution. Changes —notably an amendment permitting a man to hold but one office in the Associated Students, or on the Foghorn, the Annual or the managerial staffs—have been made to meet the increased enrollment of the student body.

[t V « 1931, which was a year of retrenchment in many lines of endeavor, marked the beginning of an era of unprecedented expansion for the University of San Francisco. Hampered in the fulfillment of her educational and cultural duties to the community whose name she bears by the restrictions of her present campus, the University hxiked anxiously into the future. Her Diamond Jubilee had been celebrated in appropriate civic, cultural, and religious ceremonies by her alumni and friends, her faculty and student body, but no material assurance had been proffered to secure the continuance and enlargement of her essential services. With the assumption of the name, University of San Francisco, and the incorporation of Saint Ignatius College of Liberal Arts into the new structure, the institution gladly accepted heavy, but not onerous, obligations to the community. In order to fulfill these obligations, the University resolved to exercise the option which she had acquired previously upon the twenty-eight acre Masonic Cemetery, which immediately adjoins the present campus and is bounded also by Parker Avenue, Turk Street, and Masonic Avenue. Having no endowment and not receiving municipal or state support, it was necessary to appeal to the generosity of the friends of the college. A sum was appealed for that would suffice as the first payment upon the desired site for the University of the future. The University of San Francisco Appeal was thereupon organized. The Most Reverend The Present Cam pus and the Proposed Development. 93 1 - 1 932 Edward J. Hanna, D.D., Archbishop of San Francisco, accepted the position of honorary chairman of the executive committee. This important committee was headed by the I fonorablc Richard M. Tobin, an alumnus of the college, and included in its ranks the Governor of California and the Mayor of San Francisco, besides a great number of distinguished and public-spirited citizens. '1 he active work of directing the Appeal was intrusted to a campaign committee headed by William 11. McCarthy, whose unflagging energy and zeal were major factors in the successful conclusion of the drive for funds. James (� . Smyth was chairman of this indispensable committee. Father Richard A. Gleeson, S.J., earned the enduring gratitude of the community for his untiring efforts for the success of this endeavor. Edward F. O’Day was chairman of die publicity committee. Public attention was also drawn to the Appeal by addresses at meetings and over the local radio stations delivered by members of the speakers’ committee, which was headed by Stanislaus A. Riley and included on its rosters Hon. George J. Hatfield, W. B. Hornblowcr, Sylvester Andriano, Senator Daniel C. Murphy, and Albert Rosenshine. The committee on selective gifts had as its chairman Florence McAulifTe. The women’s division of the Appeal was headed by Mrs. Edward Kcil. Idle selective Administration gifts committee had Mrs. I). C. Heger as chairman while Mrs. Edward Kcil also headed the residential committee, which enlisted the services of a great number of able women. Invaluable service was rendered by the co-operation committee. Mrs. John ). O’Toole was chairman and the members included Mcsdames Phillip Hannon, George Connolly, John F.Cunningham,G. I). Harper, Walter R. Jones, J. Joseph King, John J. Patridgc, and John Werner. Several weeks before the official opening of the Appeal, the Downtown Association held a luncheon in the interests of the University. Marshall I laic was in charge of the gathering and the speakers included the Rev. Edward J. Whelan, S.J., Thomas Rolph, William H. McCarthy, and Sylvain Leipsic. The opening rally, which heartened hundreds of willing workers with the battlecry: “Invest in youth—Dividends in manhood,” was held on the eve of the drive in the Tivoli Theatre. An eloquent tribute to the work of the Jesuits was paid by Rev. Thomas F. Burke, C. S. P. Mayor Angelo J. Rossi spoke as did the President of the University and the campaign chairman. The following day the legion of volunteer workers set out upon their task. Four luncheons were held during the progress of the Appeal and the speakers were the Most Rev. Edw. J. Hanna, Archbishop of San Francisco, Brother Leo, Rev. Edw. J. Whelan, Judge 1931 - 1932 { ( i .In Early Chemical laboratory—IS HO. Isidore M. Golden, and Thomas Hickey. Despite the fact that the week of the campaign (September 28-Octo-her 8) recorded new lows upon the New York Stock Exchange, $279,-000 was pledged by the citizens of San Francisco as the first step in the expansion of higher education in the city. Of this amount, over $106,000 has already been received by the University. These figures alone bear witness to the able direction and abundant enthusiasm with which the University of San Francisco Appeal was conducted. A new four-story addition to the west wing of the present college building was opened with the fall registration in August, 1931. The entire ground floor is occupied by a lounge for the students. Every noon hour about twelve or thirteen bridge games are under way and the post-mortems are loud and frequent, interrupting the deliberations of a few chess devotees. The co-operative store has been moved from the basement of the building to the south end of the lounge and a wire screen has been erected to protect the attendant from any emergency. The three upper floors of the new wing are devoted to classrooms, serving to lessen the present crowded conditions. The cost of this latest improvement upon the campus was approximately $73,000. $50,000 came from the estate of the late Senator James 1). Phelan, an alumnus of the University, $5,000 was anonymous contribution, while the remainder was supplied out (( Administration v of an accumulation of smaller gifts to the institution. 1 he physical equipment in the scientific departments of the University was considerably augmented with the inauguration of the scholastic year, 1931-1932. New equipment, costing approximately $7,000, enhanced the physical ability of the biology department of Doctor George Haley. $5,000 worth of new instruments increased the efficiency of the physics department. The third of the scientific faculties of the University to Ik- augmented during the summer of 1931 was the chemistry department which profited from the conversion of the space formerly occupied by the co-operative store into an additional laboratory. « S3 'A l.nht 111 the .Uhlan lull Hume. - « Among the minor improvements to the main building during the past year, the remodeling of the athletic office tills a long-felt need of this department. Separate offices will he provided for the new football coach, Lawrence (“Spud”) Lewis, and for graduate manager fames G. Smyth. Some new athletic equipment has been purchased which was available during spring practice. Improvements have also been completed upon the field house, which will provide additional locker room, thereby relieving cramped conditions. The law library no longer consists of a few shelves infringing upon the eastern border of the library proper, but is now housed in a separate room immediately adjoining the main The Oicf the F.ntrjarr K I hr Sen H’ing. 1931-1932 j I ( V Sen- Addition to the Field Hourc. library, thus affording a sense of calm exclusiveness to the patient students poring over the small print of commentaries upon Blackstone. With the new home of the law library has come a considerable increase in the number and quality of books. The University participated in the William W. Morrow memorial and thus received a number of line law lx oks from the collection of that eminent jurist. A librarian has been installed in the law library. The main library of the college has been the recipient of a considerable number of new volumes which have greatly enhanced its value to the student body as a whole. Some rare volumes have also been presented to the University by its friends. No longer will a clanging period bell and the resultant tramp of feet disturb a tense moment in one of fames J. Gill’s melodramas in the Little Theatre and cause a slight titillation among the anxious audience. The bliss of the hero and heroine will not be disturbed by annoying noises from without. The reason for this happy improvement is the installation of soundproof doors in the auditorium. Perhaps before another year is over some oil will have been applied to the chairs in the Little Theatre, removing the last discomforture the audience and players undergo. $425,000 is the approximate yearly cost of administration of the University of San Francisco. This large sum is spent almost wholly within the limits of San Francisco and, in addition to the money spent here by students who would otherwise study elsewhere, demonstrates the pecuniary benefits which the community as a whole receive from the University. The faculty of the institution for the past scholastic year numbered eighty-seven. The undergraduate division of the University possessed a faculty of twenty-one priests and twenty-six laymen. The teaching staffs of both the law school, day and night, and the night school of commerce and finance consisted of about twenty instructors each. A number of new courses have been instituted in the college of liberal arts, although the course in Hebrew, which the Jewish journal said had been inaugurated to accommodate the increased enrollment of Jewish students, has been dropped from the curriculum. The first post-graduate school for day students was established in the fall of 1931 when the day law school was launched by the University. This year a second year will be added to the course and in 1933 a third year, completing the standard course. With one exception the faculty of this school is identical with that of the night law school. No change was made in the administration which guided the affairs of the University so well in the past. Father Edward I. Whelan, President for the past seven years, has completed his stewardship of the institution with the respect and affection of the student body whom he has imbued with his own ideals of character and devotion to duty. 37 N u m riO go c 3 ! t- O THE CLASS OF 1932 The Class of 1932 has seen a lot of water pass under the bridge since its entrance into the University. The period of its attendance has been a transitional one. The men of '32 have been the vanguard of the old Saint Ignatius College and the pioneers in the new Held of University of San Francisco endeavor. To them befell a dual obligation. Theirs was the lot of preserving and transmitting that spirit of loyalty and good-fellowship so commendable in the men of the old school and the task of building up new tradition, not by a conscious process, a mere mushroom growth; but by a stalagmitic accumulation of the deeds of devoted sons. For tradition, to lx truly such, must lx a simple, unconscious, natural growth; it is never to lx builded but must lx developed in tlie hearts and the spirits of the undergraduates by their own deeds. 'Flic fulfillment of that two-fold trust is most ostensible. The class of 1932 has substantially contributed to the expansion of the University, both in spirit and in act. Its members have reflected credit upon the institution by their participation in every branch of extra-curricula activity. The sporting world has acclaimed their prowess on gridiron, court and track. Vast audiences have applauded their histrionic and forensic accomplishments. National recognition has been accorded their literary endeavors. 'I heir four year record attests a task well done. But above all a loving mother has showered grateful appreciation upon their filial devotion. Not so much are their deeds to be praised in the light of whatever fame they may have brought the institution, but rather because of the manner in which they have, in all endeavors, public and private, exemplified the soundness of the ideals which their training has inculcated. Let them be remembered not as men of deeds but as men of ideals. 4n It is t(x much to attempt to portray, with trite word or faddish phrase, the feelings that come upon us as we look back on the four years we have spent at the University of San Francisco. We came to her when she was only little St. Ignatius College and we leave her the University of San Francisco, with an enrollment quadrupled and her future prospects brighter than they ever have been, and yet, throughout these changes and physical developments despite the sudden growth, the simple homely spirit which was hers when first we entered her portals has remained the same. The comradeship, the good-fellowship of the small college has not been lost and between us there will always remain a bond, closer than friendship, more intimate than kinship—a bond which is of the soul. Perhaps the remembrance which will longest remain in the minds of this graduating class are those simple acts to which but little importance is attached when they occur but which, long after Registration Day, and the exclusive Senior Formal, and even Commencement Day itself is forgotten, will bring back the spirit and the fellowship of the undergraduate days. To you who read this ten years hence: Do you recall the fuss there was over the Senior Rings, those magnificent (and expensive) bits of jewelry which caused us so many months of dispute before we finally settled the vain matter? Or those solemn decisions which the Board of Student Control meted out? Or again, those free bids which the Junior class gave us to the Prom—free, including the chicken, punch and everything but the girl, as a Foghorn wag put it? There arc three presidents of the Senior class—one of the Day Division and two of the Evening Division. In the division of Arts and Science Francis E. Lucicr, Varsity basketballcr, held the presidency. Harry C. Robinson, Sodality president, was vice-president, and Joseph J. Wright, College Player, was secretary-treasurer. For Executive Committee Representatives were named Track Captain Ralph P. Montague and Debater George Kenneth Girard. The Evening Legal Division elected William E. Barden president, Henry Cohen vice-president, Michael M. Dowling secretary-treasurer. William F. Butters and Thomas J. Murray were delegated to the Executive Committee. In the Evening Commerce Division George Tail presided and Richard Cullen was chosen as Executive Committee representative. As The Annual goes to press, the salutatorian and the valedictorian for the Commencement Exercises have not yet been chosen. It is expected, however, that the location of the exercises, not as yet determined, will nevertheless he the same as last year— in the open air at Ignatian Field. Too little space is there to record the many happy moments which we have known and for which we shall always honor alma mater; but then, they are graven on a finer scroll deep in the heart. Let us, therefore, say Farewell—Arc atquc Vale—a hail and a farewell to alma mater. 41 Arc Atquc Vale Aun B. Aijuvi i i SVONI.V, AUSTRALIA Ant Aum ! ;. Ahnacd v n i ranciaco Arts I dward A. Armmkoni.

Juniors were prominent in all school functions—executive, forensic, dramatic, social and athletic. Richard C. O’Connor was the class president, with Lewis Ohlcycr vice-president and Allan Breen secretary-treasurer. This stall of officers was most able in directing junior operations throughout the year. The high point of the class activity, of course, was the annual Junior From, which was held at the Union League Country Club on the night of April the sixteenth. This traditional affair is regarded as the finest of all the school dances; the seniors are the guests of the evening, and music, favors, and entertainment are of the very Ixst. The dance this year was no exception: The customary features were all present, and the addition of a midnight supper for every guest gave the affair an attraction all its own. In athletics, the junior track team was barely nosed out by the freshmen in the yearly inter-class meet. The first-year men were t x) versatile—t x powerful in different events—for the junior racers, Warford, Thomas and Olsen performed well for the prospective seniors. The junior class has traditionally the duty of making the seniors final year a pleasant one. Forgetful of freshman and sophomore days, the juniors act as hosts at Ixith the Junior Prom and the Fiesta tie Adios. The latter is a farewell banquet given yearly to the seniors at a downtown hotel. Plans have not yet lx-en completed for this year’s Fiesta, but arrangements so far give promise of real entertainment. 55 l.l I S It. CONROY Lawk s :� W.Oisvim William K. Oirri i« Tiiom yn K.

Vooriiim Harry A. lUi.t.r z;m c }c 3 i-'C)!?3tTiOZC Tm Clam of 193 SOPHOMORES The Sophomore Class, after due deliberation, chose the following officers to guide its destiny throughout the past year: President, James Rice; Vice-President, Robert Hay; Secretary-Treasurer, Jerry Beggs. Frank McStocker and Ikrnard Wcisinger were also selected as class representatives. Rusy the first week of the fall semester in an attempt to quell the ambitious Freshman class, the Sophomores culminated their efforts on Brawl Day by defeating the first year men, three events to two. With this auspicious start, the class of 1934 set out to further prove its worth by an excellent representation in all sch x l activities. Football, basketball, boxing and other athletic squads numl ered in their ranks numerous stars who were members of the Sophomore class. Forensics, dramatics, publications and other activities also aroused much interest in the class, and, as in athletics, members of the Sophomore files were very prominent in these organizations. Work on the yearly social event of the class, the Sophomore Drag, was marked by the same enthusiasm, and the success of the affair is a matter of record. The dance was held at the Tanforan Clubhouse, and was the gala event of the fall semester, rising over the highest expectations. The members of the Sophomore class have reached the half-way mark in their university careers. They have witnessed the adoption of a new name; during their Freshman year they 64 celebrated the Diamond Jubilee of the institution; this year they bill goodbye to the “Gray Fog.” The class of 1934 is acquiring tradition. For the second time in the history of the College, a sophomore student became editor of the Foghorn. William Dowling, Associate Editor to Jack I lanley during the fall semester, became Editor-in-chief when the Publications Council ruled that, due to the heavy schedule of the newspaper, an editor should hold office only one semester. The football team of 1931 saw second year men playing regularly, while the basketball team was composed almost wholly of sophomores. “Happy” Chambers, Louis Batmale, Emmett O’Keeffe, Kincannon and John Mohr saw service in practically every game on the schedule. The boxing team, with Brad Buckner winning the Pacific Coast Collegiate Championship, was a fine example of the spirit of the Sophomore ('lass. Besides Buckner, six other men on what appears to be the most formidable collegiate boxing team for the coming season, were sophomores. In track the work of the Sophomores was no less remarkable. During the season thus far advanced at this writing, Sophomores have averaged thirty-two points per meet. The future varsity sejuad will have to Ik- drawn largely from their ranks. In forensics, with two men on the varsity debate squad, the class upheld its record for active support and participation in all activities. A man in the McKinley Debate and three contestants in the Y. M. I. Oratorical Contest, gave them places in two of the three major forensic competitions. Socially, the members of the class enjoyed the usual round of smokers, banquets and dances. The Sophomore Drag, major underclass social event of the fall semester, was held ; Tut Class01 193 at Tanforan Clubhouse in October. Extraordinarily successful, it called forth requests for a similar Sophomore dance to Ixr held in the spring, but the powers decreed against this proposal. The Sophomore Class lias the work of keeping the freshmen under control during the first days of their entrance into the University. To this end the Class provides green felt hats with a gold ribbon which the frosh must wear within six blocks of the campus until the Class decides that the youngsters have learned how to behave themselves or until the Frosh have proven their ability to lx ss themselves by defeating the Class in Annual brawl. A Sophomore Vigilance Committee, this year composed of F. McStocker, chairman; lames Barrett, Harry Mulvihill, Thomas Trodden, Robert I lay, Louis Bat male, Frank Sears, Jerry Beggs, B. W underling, John Rhode, C. Rendall, VV. McLaughlin, James Rice, . Gaffney, Art Rosen, Clint Let low, E. Moore, . Conway, . O'Neal, B. Mohorovich and Elmer Lincoln, keeps the yout i men in the way that they must go. One of the first rules a frosh must learn is to carry the University Handbook at all times and to J e able to produce it whenever a sophomore so desires. Infringement of this rule causes the malefactor to be led joyously into the cemetery where, in the coolness of a huge marble tomb sacred to the Class, proper punishment is given. Smoking in the cafeteria or in any place sacred to sophomores or upjx:rclassmen is expressly forbidden. Perhaps the unhappicst moment in the life of any 120 pound sophomore is to find a 200 pound Green-hat carelessly infringing on any of the sacred regulations and to lx: unable to do anything about it. Some time prior to the date set for the Brawl, the Class elects a man to lead them in that contest, and at the same time. in order to prevent too strong opposition from below, increases its vigilance to prevent the Green-hats from organizing. 'l his year the Green-hats managed Tut Cn� of 19 34 to form an association for mutual protection some days prior to the hour which the Constitution gives them on the morning of the Brawl, and gathered funds to purchase a more than sufficient supply of defunct fruit with which to attack their oppressors. This year the Brawl was held on Wednesday, August 26, 1931. The two classes appeared for their eight o’clocks looking like delegates to a rag pickers convention. The most popular style of dress was a pair of heavy boots, old cords or greasy jeans held up by a securely knotted rope (belts are too easily removed), and an old sweatshirt. At nine o’clock classes were dismissed. The Class took themselves to Ewing Field where they awaited the arrival of the Green-hats who, in the meantime, were assembling in the college auditorium for a final rally and to view the moving pictures of last year’s affair. At nine-thirty the frosh followed the sophs to the field and the battle began. In the sack rush, a gory affair in which the nose bleeds freely and the ribs long bear marks of the black and the blue, the frosh were victorious. This gentle pastime consists in the full forces of the two classes rushing ujx n a pile of sand-bags and attempting to convey them across goal lines at opposite ends of the field. The next event, the tug of war, ended abruptly when the rope broke at the first tug. The Sophomores won the sack race and the jousting contest. The big event of the day, the Flag Rush, in which the freshmen stormed a ninety foot sandhill under a heavy lire of tomatoes, eggs and over-ripe peaches in an attempt to tear a tiny green flag from the top of a twelve foot pole which the ('lass was defending, ended in the Sophomores maintaining their prestige and in another inexperienced group of youngsters lx;ing defeated by a determined group of their elders. With the freshman enrollment increasing year by year, each succeeding Sophomore class finds itself outnumbered by the next Freshman class, but valiant fight has maintained the Sophomores in their high position. 67 The Class OF 1935 FRESHMEN ARTS The largest Freshman Class in the history of the University commenced the fall semester by electing the following set of officers: Patrick 1). Morgan, President; Robert K. Little, Vice-President, and George 11. Casey, Secretary-Treasurer. Bernard W. McCann and Donald P. McStocker were also chosen as class representatives. Under the able leadership of these men the Class of 1935 experienced a very successful year, marked by excellent support of all university activities and the sponsorship of several outstanding events. Prominent among these was, of course, the various incidents that occurred during the week previous to the annual Brawl. Unfortunately, the traditional battle was lost, but the spirit of co-operation exhibited by the freshmen was an object of admiration. Preceding the Santa Clara football game, the class provided a very entertaining rally, and even then began plans for the crowning achievement of the year, the annual Fandango. T his outstanding social event later took place at the California Country Club and was a fitting climax to the year’s activities. Due credit must lx given to the committee, composed of the following: Pat Morgan, William Ferdon, Frank Scarr, Joseph Murphy, George Casey, Bert Shaugnessy, Lawrence Garrett, James Gleason, Norman Peterson, John Schroth, John Stackpool and Leo Murphy. These men worked hard and were very competent in handling the entire affair, securing the Ixst music available, as well as the excellent site. 68 Tim Clam or 1935 The success of the Freshmen in athletics was little short of remarkable. The Frosh football team, losing but one of its games and in that game pushing over two extra touchdowns which were not allowed for alleged irregularity, enjoyed more than a fair measure of success. In spring practice more than half of its members have been playing regularly in the inter-squad Green vs. Gold football games. In basketball the Frosh lost but few games and enjoyed the satisfaction of defeating several teams supposedly out of their class. The Pacific Athletic Association basketball championships in which the Frosh compete each year to gain experience, saw the fledglings defeat some of the Coast’s leading teams to reach the quarter-finals before they were eliminated. The experience acquired will stand them in good stead when they become varsity material. In track the Frosh squad worked with the varsity for the major part of the season, but in the one meet which they held as a unit, that with Lowell High School, they swept the events, taking all but one first place. Walts, one of the members of the Frosh squad, who was declared ineligible for this season, competed with the Olympic Club against Stanford University and won the 440 yard dash in 49.9 seconds, good time in any meet but remarkable time for a freshman. The Frosh baseball team, the most poorly equipped college team for the past year, won recognition and an enlarged budget by winning ten straight games from the freshman and semi-professional teams of the bay region. To say that the success of the Frosh was phenomenal is scarcely short of the truth, for the daily newspapers were blurbing them lx:fore the college-realized that they were capable of, let alone actually, being considered unbeatable in their class.

Monthly meetings are held at which contemporary literary works are discussed and these gatherings serve to bring the undergraduate members into intimacy with the alumni members. Fr. Raymond T. Fccly, S.J., served as moderator of the fraternity during the past year. I Iis predecessor, Fr. Walter E. Semeria, S.J., was presented with the key of the organization this spring in token of the active interest which he has displayed in the welfare of the fraternity. The activities of the society arc always at their height during the spring semester, the fall term being devoted to the careful selection of new members from upperclass ranks. Inasmuch as this process, being devoted to examination and re-examination of the qualifications of prospective members is long drawn out, it is not until the new year that the society finds time to turn its attention to public exercises. As we go to press, the schedule of spring activities (last year notable for the presence of George Creel), has not yet lx.cn presented. 86 SKULL AND Organized 192$ SLEDGE George Kino, '32 Joseph A.

No officers are elected, hut the society functions as a unit. It is extremely active in the promotion of Ignatian ideals in a variety of ways. Whatever are its qualifications for membership cannot be said, beyond that an active interest in University affairs is essential. Members do not make application to join, there is no rushing, no competition of any sort. The first a man knows that he has Ixren admitted to the society is that his name appears on the Arts and Science bulletin board beneath the insignia of the organization. The secrets of the society are well guarded but an hitherto reliable source of recondite information tells us that one objection of any nature whatsoever to any man proposed for membership is sufficient to bar his admittance. The aim of the society is to have perfect concord and agreement between the individuals composing it. '1 he wisdom of the plan is shown in the manner in which the society has managed to maintain its secret and exclusive nature since its beginning. 87 TAU DELTA BETA Thomas E.

'33 The purpose of this honor society is to foster an active interest in commerce and finance, in order that its members shall benefit scholastically from membership in the organization. A number of distinguished business men have addressed meetings of the society. Mr. Robert Powers of the Pacific Telephone Company spoke on the experience of that organization with college men. Mr. Slade of the Federal Reserve Bank explained the mechanism of that institution to the members. Originally founded as Alpha Lambda Sigma, under the moderation of Prof. I lenry J. Strickroth (to whom this book is dedicated), and Prof. V ictor C. Sether, the name was later changed to that of Tau Delta Beta due to a conflict of the original name with that of Alpha Lambda social fraternity, an older organization. As the Ignatian goes to press, the society is planning a series of banquets, lectures and informal social gatherings to wind up the affairs of the year. Inasmuch as eighty per cent of the active membership will graduate with the class of 1932, it has been found necessary to adopt this program to assure a continuing interest in the organization.

Francis J. Colligan, A.B. ’29, is the moderator of this organization, which aims to study the great classics in literature. No officers are elected, but an executive committee governs the society, which is divided into sections in accordance with the type of literature in which they arc specializing. The meetings of the society are held in a place particularly suitable to the nature of the organization. The European Bookstore. An interesting feature of the first meeting after the submission of the society’s constitution to the Board of Student Control, was the announcement that the charter had been approved and the charter drawn up and ready to be delivered, so anxious were the authorities to add such an organization to the list of college societies. 89 . . PUBLICATIONS COUNCIL The Publication Council is provided for in the constitution of the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco with the purpose of supervising the work of the various student journalistic efforts. The council is composed of the faculty representatives, one for each publication, the editors, associate editors, business managers, assistant business managers of the Foghorn and Ignatian and such other publications as are put out by the students. The faculty advisers are appointed each year by the president of the university, their duty being to prevent abuses in the student control and management of the various publications. The council numbers among its duties and privileges the task of supervising the election of the student editors, their associates and the business managers. Chairman of the publication council is chosen annually by that body before Commencement. In the event that such choice is not made, a temporary chairman is chosen for each meeting. It meets at the call of the editors, business managers, or faculty representatives. The members of the council for the term 1931-32 were Barry Whitehead, Jack Hanley, Wilkie Courier, Matthew Tierney, Lewis Levin, William Dowling, Thomas Trodden, and William Corbett. Foe:horn award keys were this year presented by the publications council to the editors and associate editors of the student paper and of the Annual. Lewis Levin, as business manager also was given the award. Jack I Janley, Matthew Tierney, William Dowling and Jack Rhode were the recipients of the other keys. The key is solid gold, with an appropriate design. It is awarded for capable work in the capacity of editor, associate editor, sports editor or business manager of the paper. THE PIPE AND PEN Pipe and Pen is probably the most recently organized society in the university. The need of an honor organization for men interested in the journalistic field prompted the founding of the group. Its membership is strictly limited to the editors, associate and managing editors of the university publications, and those men who have shown continued and deserving application to journalistic activity throughout their years at college. The charter members include Jack Hanley, Edward Sullivan, Mervin I louser and William Dowling—all editors of the Foghorn during the past three years; Harry Whitehead, editor of the 1932 Ignatian; Matthew Tierney, Thomas Trodden, Charles Pearce, Bernard Wiesingcr and Jack Rhode of the Foghorn staff. The constitution of the society was drawn up early in the spring semester and was accepted by the Board of Student Control. The honor organization was officially recognized by the board early in February, 1932. Officers who were elected to serve for the balance of the semester were: Jack I lanley, president; Matthew Tierney, vice-president; Thomas Trodden, scribe. The organization will serve to add incentive to the students to take an interest in journalistic work in future years. It will serve to further centralize the work of the various publications of the university and tend to create a greater spirit of co-operation between them. The men who form the charter mcmlxTship of the group have been particularly interested in the publications' activity and desire to see a similar interest shown by the personnel of the incoming classes. Since there is no regular course in journalism at the university at the present time the Pipe and Pen will further serve the purpose of developing future editors and assistants for the Foghorn and Ignatian. 93 THE 1932 ANNUAL In keeping with the spirit of development begun several years ago, many changes from past editions are apparent in this volume of the Ignatian. The 1932 Annual contains 240 pages, bound in a three-quarter, red Morocco leather cover with hand-stamped, gold-leaf lettering. The body of the book is printed on one-hundred pound white Natoma dull coated paper, with the division sheets and title pace on one-hundred and twenty pound stock of the same type. The frontispiece is a four-color process engraving of an original map of the city drawn and painted by Mr. Judson Starr. The illustrations on the division sheets are line drawings printed on a block of combination solid color and Benday shading. The sub-divisions are line drawings without border. All art work is original. The second color used throughout the book is Blood Red, 103 ink manufactured by the International Printing Inks Corporation. The type used in the book is 14 point Granjon, with heads in (loudy ()ld Style, excepting page 10 where a few lines of ()ld English are used. A conventionalized leaf and climber design is used for decoration throughout the lx� ok. A theme bearing out the relation of the University to its historic background in California history has Ixen adhered to as much as possible. Due to the fact that many have thought it proper that the name of the Annual should be changed to conform with the new title of the University of San Francisco, the word “lunarian” has been omitted from the title page of this volume and the more familiar name, “Tilt Annual,” used in its stead. While not intended to lx a substitute for the old title, the name Barry Wiiitliilad, Editor 1 4 Win. iv Gal lack � r RivaldoSciarom William Co� � in THE ANNUAL STAFF “The Annual” has become so commonly used in connection with the book that its use was recommended rather than any other; and, being non-committal in its nature, it allows for any definite name that may be decided upon. The Editor of the 1932 Annual was Barry Whitehead. The Business Manager was Wilkie Courier. The Staff: Associate Editor, Rinaldo Sciaroni, ’33; Social Editor, Clifford Meagher, ’33; Contributing Editors: lohn O’Dea, ’32, Matthew Tierney, ’32, Edward Doyle, ’33, Richard O'Connor, ’33, Francis Dowling, ’32, William Dowling, ’34, and Frank Scarr, ’35. The Sports Department was handled by Wesley Gallagher, ’34; Contributors: Conrad Odenthal, ’32, John Barker, '33, and John Rhode, ’34. Student artists who aided in the preparation of the lxx k were Lyle Brown, '33, and John Stackpool, ’35. The Business Staff: William Corbett, ’33, and Lewis Levin, ’34, Assistant Managers; Wesley Harvey, ’33, Eugene Harvey, ’33, Roy Bianchini, ’33, Thomas Mullaney, ’33, George Olsen. ’32, and Joseph Wright, ’32. The Annual was printed by Alex. I)ulfer Printing Company and bound by John Kitchen, Jr., Company. All engravings were made by the Commercial Art and Engraving Company. Photographs were supplied by 11. P. Fisher Company, “Al” Goldstein, and Decpiila Jackson. The papier was supplied by the Pacific Coast Paper Company, and certain type ornaments by Mackenzie, 1 larris and Company. Mr. Judson Starr, prominent commercial artist, executed the illustrations for all division sheets and for the literary pages. To all of these the Ignatian extends its thanks. V|| kii Cot at� .

It has always been well-known for the high type of journalistic effort that has gone into its pages. It has consistently rated with the best university publications in the country. This year was no exception, unless improvement may be said to be exception. The Foghorn has made many changes and instituted many innovations that will serve to distinguish it among publications of other colleges and universities with the same enrollment as U. S. F. Scheduled eventually to develop into a daily, preparation is now under way for that event. The management of the paper has been economically divided. The fruits of this division of labor were this year apparent. The business staff operated more independently than formerly and quite as efficiently. Under the capable editorship of jack Hanley, ’33, the Foghorn showed much improvement during the fall semester. On numerous occasions the paper was extended into the six page class. One of the greatest innovations was the program mapped out whereby the paper was published weekly during the college year instead of bi-weekly as formerly. It required constant effort on the part of Hanley to edit the representative sheet that he did every week. The possibility of publishing weekly editions was due to the business acumen of an alert manager, Lewis Levin. His advertising contracts made the weekly paper one that could at least pay for itself if not make money for the Publications Council. During the spring semester Wll.LIAM DoWLI.NO. Editor.

It was fell that a six months' term was sufficient for the editor of any weekly university publication. Under Dowling’s regime another advance was taken when it was decided to enlarge the paper to seven columns. -The Foghorn came out in that size every week for the last twelve issues of the semester. During 1931-32 the editors were capably assisted by their associate editors, Matthew Tierney, ’32, and Thomas Trodden, ’34. Tierney wrote what was probably the most interesting feature column in the paper, “Doings on Other Campi. Other features of the editorial page included John Costello's comments on “'filings Current and Harold 1 larpcr's account of a world cruise. One of the most striking bits of interest was the “Introducing” column on the sports page, started by lack Rhode and turned over to Elmer (Jarrigan when Rhode became Spirts Editor, file column was livened considerably by the art work of Lyle Brown, whose pencil sketches added considerable color to the spirt page. Other men who added substantially to the success of the publication were: Charles Pearce, managing editor, and the reporting staff composed of Ed Sullivan, Edwin Murphy, Les Jacobs, Thomas Buckley, Joseph St. Amant, Malcolm Macdonald, John Duff, Robert l iaising, Gerald Gallagher. The assistants to the spirts department which George Bottoms headed for the fall term and Jack Rhode headed for the spring term, included Elmer (Jarrigan, Barney Wiesinger, Pat 1 iorgan, E. Harvey, W. I larvcy and H. Hughes. The efforts of the staff were an absolute necessity to the success of the Foghorn. Without their efforts the paper would never have reached the position of impirtancc that is accorded it. Surulinj;: Cm w.iiih. IIi n iiim, Wiiitiiii in, IIoimh, Cnjrrn.i.n, IIomsav. M Dnwm.

Its editors, one of whom was the editor of the 1931 Ignalian and the other, the editor of this volume now under perusal, managed to delay the production of the book until the last possible moment, each laboring under the impression that the other was doing all the necessary work. When certain pertinent inquiries disclosed the fact that neither had done any work whatsoever, the co-editors concealed their dismay by sitting up all of one fine summer’s night preparing the necessary copy. This volume of the Handbook, the first bearing the title of the University of San Francisco, was completely produced by the University Press. The Press, managed by Mr. Ed. Strehl and Mr. Al. Olivier, is located on the campus. Enlarged facilities enabled the Press, besides producing the Handbook, to handle the Foghorn, the university weekly newspaper, and the Heights, the yearbook of the high school division, without interfering with the great volume of job printing which they carry for the university. The 1931-32 Handbook was dressed in a new cover which, while similar to the past volumes in material, differed from earlier editions in that it bore three bold letters, U S E. in place of the familiar block S I. An innovation was the printing of the date 1931-32 on the outside cover. To the statistically inclined, the Handbook is an 112 page lxx k, size 3 x41 2 , saddle-stitched, and bound in green cloth cover. Five hundred copies were printed and distributed to all new students. Freshman students are required by law to carry these little lxx ks upon their persons at all times or receive a suitable chastisement from the Sophomore Vigilance Committee. Edward S. Sullivan, 32, and Barry Whitehead, 33, co-edited the lxx k.—BAV. THE PUBLICITY BUREAU Under the direction of Mervin Houser, the University of San Francisco Publicity Department was responsible for more inches of publicity matter appearing in the public newspapers this past year than in any year since the institution of the department. Several events, including the resignation of James Needles, football coach, and the search for his successor, were considered news events without the necessity of further exploitation, hut the ordinary, everyday happenings of the campus, their news value apparent only to the trained eye, were brought before the public by the alertness with which the members of this department recognized their value and seized upon it. Working upon the principle that co-operation with the newspapers would be productive of the best results, the department made every effort to assist the papers in whatever way they might. Care was taken that all news stories submitted to the dailies were precisely true to fact. No attempt was made to manufacture publicity. Realizing that the chief element of a successful newspaper is fresh copy, the Publicity Department saw to it that as soon as a story of unusual interest “broke,” it was transmitted immediately to the papers. Mervin Houser, a member of last year’s Publicity Bureau, was this year appointed to the leadership of the department with especial jurisdiction over sports. As his assistant he has George Brady. Brady was delegated to cover dramatics in particular. Both of these men are seniors, Houser being a former editor of the Foghorn and Brady a former dramatic critic for the same sheet. 99 Mvrnn v S.

From the very days of the school’s founding she has been noted for the excellence of her speakers; her history is replete with oratorical and debating successes, which always have been a major source of reputation to the institution. Men of widely known ability have begun their forensic careers here, judges and lawyers and legislators have done their first declaiming in these halls; here imaginary juries have been harangued, and young Wehsters have replied to embryonic 1 laynes; and while few have found the schooling easy, none has ever denied its worth. The task of maintaining the high oratorical standard was excellently performed by this year’s debate team, under the leadership of Mr. lames Baker Bassett, the faculty moderator, and I. Adriel Fried, the student manager. The experienced criticisms of Mr. Bassett and Frcid’s success in obtaining debates, together produced a very successful season. The year opened, appropriately enough, with a debate against the California Women’s Varsity, on November 12, 1931. 'I bis was a dual contest, four teams being engaged: two at San Francisco and two at California. The question was: “Resolved: That this house approves the immediate socialization of all medical service.” John O’Dea and William Dowling upheld the affirmative on this side of the hay, while 1 lenry Barron and Richard O’Connor, neg- Ki wi tii Cikmiu |«m O I i� Wn I MM DwiUSC ativc, spoke on the Berkeley campus. Both contests were of unusual interest, especially the one at California, where an audience of communistic viewpoint made the open forum a warm session, with sharp questions directed at the San Francisco debaters. Following this there were three debates on the question, “Resolved: That the present world economic depression is a major indictment of the capitalistic system. The first, on November 17, against the University of California men, was held on our campus before the assembled student body. Roy Bianchini, senior, and George Hippelli, sophomore, composed the San Francisco team. Bianchini has a good argumentative style, while I iippclli’s ease of manner gives promise of future development. Bianchini spike the following night against St. Mary's College on the same question, partnered with Adriel Fried, who substituted for Hippelli in the latter’s illness. No decision was given in either debate. Our next opponent on this question was Stanford University, on December 1st. Vincent Fallon, Adriel Fried and Richard O’Connor defended the affirmative. One of the Stanford speakers, James L. Feely, was a former San Francisco debater, and being well acquainted with our Congressional system, he was able to cause considerable trouble in the Ignatian ranks. A debate was witnessed on December 3, between San Francisco and the College of the Pacific. The proposition was, “Resolved: That President Hoover should be re-elected.” The popular interest in the question brought a large ; udience. Kenneth Girard and Lester Jacobs upheld the affirmative for the San Francisco team. There was no decision, the sole arbiter being the collective judgment of the audience. mi Lutes J acob Ho Bianciiini Hi ry Karros The spring term was opened by a debate with Whittier (College, a recent addition to the San Francisco schedule. William Dowling and I lenry Barron were the speakers for the home team. They make a very capable pair, Dowling’s logical attack l eing balanced by Barron’s polished humor. Both arc sophomores, so much may be expected of them in the future. They upheld the affirmative of the proposal: “Resolved: That the United States should enjoy centralized control of industry.” The debate was given before the students of English on the morning of Tuesday, February 8th. The following week these two travelled to Stockton, where they met the College of the Pacific team on the same question. The contest was not held on the campus, but out in the country, at one of the farm centers. An interested audience of ranchers—to whom the question was very pertinent—heard the debate. A decision by the audience gave the verdict to the local team. A debate with San lose State Teachers’ College followed. John O’Dea, the medal winner of the Y. M. I. contest, teamed with William Dowling to meet the teachers. The contest was held on the campus. Other debates were staged at San Francisco with Albany College, the University of Southern California, and State 0)1 lege. The results of these are not yet known. The annual southern trip was made in April, including the traditional debates with Loyola, Southern California and U. C. L. A. The following men are to be complimented on their successful season: Vincent Fallon, Kenneth Girard, William Dowling, 1 lenry Barron, John O’Dea, Roy Bianchini, Adricl Fried, Richard O’Connor George Hippelli and Lester Jacobs. John A. O’Dea, Kenneth Girard and Adricl Fried were selected as the members of the Southern Debate Tour Team. M mm u M I)ov u.u RichardO'Cowhr Ki with I.i wi Dim tor « frriftniiin Drl-ntm FRESHMAN DEBATING TEAM An innovation this year was the institution and development of freshman debating. Richard O’Connor of the varsity was made manager of freshman forensics, and under his direction several contests were obtained with rival institutions. A duel debate with Saint Mary’s on the question of a third political party began the year. Samuel Wicklow and Malcolm MacDonald spoke at Moraga, while Patrick I lorgan and John Duff debated here in the college hall. The argumentation and delivery of these four were surprising; they held a preliminary contest which would have done credit to many a varsity team. A second debate was held with the freshmen of the College of the Pacific, at Stockton. William Ferdon, Frank Scarr and Kenneth Lewis upheld the affirmative of the question: “Resolved: That the United States should adopt a system of socialized medicine.” The debate was held in the social hall of the school, which, having been cleared of dancers, was given over to more academic pursuits. A large crowd attended, and the open forum after the debate revealed their interest in the question. An audience decision declared Pacific the winner. Debates were also held with the Commerce Evening 1 Iigh School and the Stanford F reshmen. |ohn Selig, John Guilbert and Gerald Finn spoke for the college in the former, on the question: “Resolved: That Japan’s aggressiveness in Manchuria endangers the best interests of the United States.” Against Stanford, Patrick I lorgan, Malcolm MacDonald and William Ferdon upheld the negative of “Resolved: That there should l)e centralized control of industry in the United States.” J Acellent varsity sjxrakers may Ik- expected from the ranks of these freshmen.

CONTEST PARTICIPANTS As one of the last forensic events of the fall term, the Sullivan Memorial Contest in oratory was held on November 24. This is perhaps the most colorful of all the forensic affairs during the school year: it is a contest in pure oratory between representatives of the University of San Francisco, the University of Santa Clara, and St. Mary’s College. It features all the oratorical appurtenances—black gowns, mortar boards, and strict formality—as well as the essential display of speaking ability. The subject for this year was “Catholic Action.” Barry Whitehead represented the University of San Francisco, while Richard Doyle spoke for Santa Clara, and John Tolan for St. Mary’s. Doyle, formerly a student at San Francisco, was awarded the medal, which is the annual gift of Ignatian Council of the Young Men’s Institute. Whitehead’s talk was noted for its unusual force and clearness of delivery, which, however, did not suffice to overcome the experienced Doyle. The annual Y. M. I. Oratorical Contest—so called because the medal is given by the Young Men’s Institute, and not to be confused with the Sullivan Memorial Contest—took place on the night of February 13, 1932. Like the Sullivan, this affair is strictly oratorical: eight speakers, selected by elimination, make orations on subjects chosen ad libitum. The prize is awarded on the basis of excellence of material and superiority of delivery. The speakers in the contest were: Louis Ferrari, Milton McGrcevy, Joseph Wright, George Ososke, John O’Dea, Abe Karesh, Richard O’Connor and Alfonso Tous. Most of these were seniors, with their last opportunity to win the award, and the evening was marked by unusual brilliance. Jolm O’Dca talked on the “Modern Merovingians” and took the prize, while Alfonso Tous ranked second with his speech on “The Way Out.” The audience was further regaled by the selections of the College Orchestra and Fred Brown of the Glee Club. Interest in this contest never fails; it is one of the best things done during the forensic year and always draws a large audience. • On March 11, 1932 the McKinley Medal Debate was given in the college auditorium. This is a yearly debate between two teams composed of three men each, who have survived the preliminary tryouts. The contest is held under strict Congressional rules; a decision is rendered for the winning team and also for the speaker who, in the opinion of the judges, has done the most to obtain the decision for his side. The question which was debated was: “Resolved, That Japan deserves the condemnation of the world for her recent actions in China.” Francis O’Gara and Ken Girard, seniors, and Richard O’Connor, junior, upheld the negative, while William Dowling, sophomore, Matthew O’Brien, junior, and Alfonso Tous, senior, spoke for the affirmative. The timely character of the question and the efforts of the speakers themselves made the debate extremely interesting. The judges decided that the negative team won the contest, and awarded the medal for individual merit to Matthew O’Brien of the affirmative side. O’Brien’s poise and splendid voice, together with his evident knowledge of the subject, deserved the opinion of the judges. The teamwork of the negative won the decision for them. All these contests have a value beyond the ordinary intercollegiate or intramural debates; they serve in a great measure to foster interest in forensics by their reward of individual ability, their special attraction for audiences, and the never failing interest of their subject-matter. Much of the university’s pre-eminence in oratory is due to these contests, and it is to Ik hoped that future years will see their high standard of excellence maintained. “Our Phoenix city of San Francisco finds within its walls an institution of which any of the older and more settled communities of the staid east might well Ik proud. Last night the writer had occasion to visit the halls of St. Ignatius College, out on Market Street, and to listen to a contest of silver-tongued elocution between some youths of that place. . . . Who knows in what future time there may blossom on these shores an orator for whom the marble halls of Congress will ring in joyous acclaim of a greatness born beside the proud waters of the Pacific sea.” 10s Kxtract from clipping reputed to have been taken from a newspaper of 1862. THE PHILHISTORIAN SENATE The Philhistorian Senate, organized in 1863, is the oldest organization in the school. A forensic society composed exclusively of upper division students, it has had much to do with the development of public speaking at this university. Time-honored custom requires that the members assemble twice every school week, there to hold academic discussion and formal debate on the widest range of subjects. The oratory displayed is of the highest character in the college, while the record of attendance gives evidence of the unfailing interest of the senators in the activities of the body. The officers of the senate this year were: President, Richard C. O’Connor; Vice-president, Francis Lucier; Secretary, William G rbctt; Sergcant-at-Arms, William Ryan. This hoard, aided by James J. Gill, the faculty moderator, capably guided the destinies of the senate through the sixty-ninth year of its existence, and to a great extent enlarged the scope of its operations. It is the practice of the organization to alternate the character of its forensics at every meeting: one assembly will witness a formal debate upon a selected subject, and the next will hold open forum discussion upon questions of general interest. It is interesting to note how both methods, but especially the latter, have developed speakers of fine ability, often among men who have hail little or no former experience. Matthew O’Brien, the winner of the annual McKinley Debate medal, John O’Dea, who won the annual contest in oratory, and Barry Whitehead, who represented the university in the Sullivan Memorial Oratorical contest, were all members of the Philhistorian Senate.

It was founded in 1930 and has concluded its second year as a society of first-year students preparing to qualify for membership in intercollegiate debating teams. In order to stimulate the interest of the members in varsity debating, one of the forensic spokesmen of the University usually occupies the post of moderator; this year Richard O’Connor, ’33 was successful in the position in staging many debates. 107 THE DRAMATIC YEAR In the fall of 1928 James J. (Jill came to the University of San Francisco to produce the most amazingly successful series of college plays which the Pacific Coast had ever seen. Opening the season with an old college favorite, “White Collars,” Gill so astonished the dramatic critics of the city with the smoothness and professional finesse of his production that the play was held on the boards for three performances beyond its schedule and then only withdrawn because it was feared that a longer run would seriously interfere with the scholastic standing of the actors. A short time later a new play, The Copperhead,” went up. Different from the former production in that it was heavy where the other was light, a period play where the other was modern, a character play rather than straight, it was awaited almost with skepticism; but so capably did the actors handle it that the skeptics were confounded. The first night every seat was sold—the last three nights standing room only could be obtained. After that the success of the college players was assured. The triumph was not a collegiate one but a public success. Demands for seats came from agencies for each of the following productions: “The Hottentot,” “The Rear Car,” “The Upper Room,” and for that great final production of the year, “The Enemy.” It was this last, scheduled for three performances and held for eight, that gained the College Players recognition in the American Annual of Dramatic Productions, an honor which few amateur groups have ever gained. During this first spectacular season. Gill developed Frederica Nestor, Arthur Goldstein, now under contract to Paramount-Publix, Bernard Carr and several others who have since obtained some personal 33% in the price of Little Theatre seats, the Players did not stint themselves in providing elaborate and realistic settings for their productions. The unfortunate destruction of the negatives and prints of scenes from the first three plays has made it necessary for the Annual to employ the sketches of Mr. Reyna, the prominent scenic artist who designed them, in place of pictures of the actual sets. These sketches, however, will show the layman how ins success in dramatics. The next two years, with such outstanding successes of old favorites as “The Auctioneer,” “Sun-Up” (given with certain technical changes which Lula Vollmer has since written into the published script), and “Richelieu,” • carried on the tradition established in 1928. rl’his year, with their dramatic success already become a tradition, the College Players enjoyed one of their best seasons. Although their revenue was greatly reduced by a reduction of | M� .� (iii.L, Director. much careful study and preparation takes place before a stick is sawed to construct the actual set. This season four plays were given in the Little Theatre and one, a travesty called Pages of the Past, was given before the California Peace Association at Sonoma Mission Inn. This latter was repeated several times to satisfy the requests of various organizations in the city. The four regularly scheduled plays were “The Show-Off,” “The brass Rail,” “Overture, and the amazingly successful “The Bad Man,” which ran to capacity each night and had to be held for extra performances to satisfy the demand. BERNARD CARR Exceptional cases demand exceptional treatment; and it is not, therefore, t x much for the Ignatian to depart from its accustomed policy of praising the College Players in general and not in particular, and to devote a short paragraph to the career of Bernard Carr. A freshman the year that James J. (Jill t(x k over the direction of the College Players, Carr won the lead in “The Hottentot, a freshman production. For his work he was given choice roles in two later plays, “The Rear (air and “The Enemy.” Since that first year when, a freshman, he appeared in two of the college’s foremost productions at the expense of some disappointed upperclassman, Carr has apj carcd in nine major college productions, starring in seven of them and co starring in two, and in three minor productions. 11 is devotion to his work has been steadfast and sincere, and often at great expense to himself. The concluding play of the year and the last of Carr's collegiate career, “The Bad Man,” was chosen by Gill solely because Carr had so often expressed a desire to play the title role. Carr’s success was a fitting commentary on his ability. The stage crew, that hard-working but little appreciated group who have done so much to assure the success of the ('ollege productions, this year were as unobtrusively efficient as ever. 109 l.rsuv.

Dowling, '34 John Dunnican, 34 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Arthur G. Foley, '32 Kenneth MacCor.mack, ’33 Kenneth Girard, ’32 iiarles 1-enn, Norman Petersen. 35 The purpose of the Association of the Arch and Arc is the development and furtherance of the activity of the stage crew. The faculty member of the organization is James J. Gill, the director of the College Players. The Arch and Arc has helped immeasurably in assuring excellent stage settings for the productions in the Little Theatre. Although the society is not supposed to Ik of a “secret” nature, yet it is one of the most close-mouthed organizations on the campus. Actual technical work is necessary before a man is eligible to membership. Originally organized in 1928, it functioned without recognition by the Board of Student Control. Reorganization was followed by the application to the board for recognition, which was granted in the spring semester of 1930. Successful staging of all College Players’ productions, Glee Club recitals, debates, etc., has been assured by the presence of the members of the Arch and Arc. All of the prospective members of the organization are trained with a view toward future perfection in the technical activity of the stage. The success of the past year’s work has been largely due to the efforts of John G. Douglass, who has lxcn acting in the dual capacity of stage manager and vice-president of the Arch and Arc. 115 THE CONCERT ORCHESTRA The University Concert Orchestra of twenty-five pieces is the parent organization for all the musical groups which are necessary to entertain at the many indoor functions of the scholastic year. From its ranks there are drawn the Little Theatre Orchestras of smaller membership which interpret the musical programs heard at activities of the college. Musical activity at the University is, at present, extra-curricular. For this reason it is a tribute to the ambition of the members when this organization is able not only to continue but to improve with the succeeding years. As in the past a large number of new standard compositions have been added to the orchestra’s already large-library. Notable among these are some new arrangements and an original composition, “The Procession of the Dons” by the director of the orchestra, I larold A. Harper. This new composition is intended to Ik- played as the Grand Entrance March of the commencement in May. Due to increased interest a small orchestra has been instituted. This organization meets twice weekly. George Melody is concert master of the University Concert Orchestra. During the coming year it is hoped that increased revenue will allow the orchestra to enlarge its facilities. Although a great number of new instruments were purchased at the beginning of the year, many more are needed to round out the concert orchestra. 11 oi d 11 ttl'i k. Dirrctyr IK, THE GLEE CLUB Continuing its fine work of the past during the last semesters the University Glee Club rose to even greater heights of achievement with the passage of the last scholastic year. Foremost among these was their appearance for two weeks at the showing of one of the year’s greatest football pictures held in one of San Francisco’s largest downtown theatres. Frederick L. Brown, the Glee Club’s director, has always aimed to make the organization more accomplished than those clubs usually found in college circles by arranging to have the members study a number of standard choral compositions of very high repute Ixrsidcs a number of more popular selections of a lighter nature suitable for general performance. In line with this policy there have been presented a number of choral pieces with orchestral accompaniment at the joint concerts given by these two organizations during the year, all of which have earned the highest praise for the vocalists. Regular rehearsal periods are held throughout the year. Ernest Carr is the accompanist for the club in these study hours. This last year saw the entrance of the club into the Associated Glee Clubs’ organization. The group has been formed to foster collegiate vocal activities. The other members are chiefly colleges of the Pnmurk'k I.. Knows, Director . Bay TCgion. THE CHESS CLUB Organized 1930 Alan B. Aldwell, '32 President Edgar F. Libby, 33 Secretary-Treasurer I Ienry G.

This organization, which is composed of both day and night school students, aims to promote interest in chess in the University and to engage in friendly competition with other chess clubs and particularly the other members of the California Intercollegiate Chess League. The Chess Club is to be considered an activity group, since it maintains intercollegiate relations, rather than an intra-mural society. ns 9 Lit im. Sciirotii. Sworn. St kmoi, Pi wom, I.. Murphy.

Dowling, '34 (Ieorce Blanchard, '34 Assistant Prefect Assistant Prefect ( eokge King, '32 Treasurer The sanctuary Society is composed of those members of the student body of the University who serve as acolytes in Saint Ignatius Church. Mr. McGrory, S.J., is the moderator of this group who have served as well at numerous religious functions of the college during the past year. The Society has been given a large meeting room attached to but apart from the Church proper. While their primary purpose is assisting at services in the Church, they have made the association also one of quiet social activity. A library is maintained. Various contests have been carried on under the auspices of the organization. New vestments and new lockers in which to store them are soon to lx acquired by the Society. At the present time the vestments in use are of the finest quality, many of them being made of rare old lace, but growing demands of the Society (able now to outfit eighty acolytes uniformly!) necessitate an increase in the supply of garments. Prefect Lucier expects to see this accomplished before the end of the present college semester. c A M P U s c L U B S CAMPUS CLUBS Cosmopolitans Biochemical Society II orations L A C E R C L E F R A N C A I S Don Quixote College Sodality Sigma Iota Epsilon COSMOPOLITAN CLUB Organize !

A number of dinners were held at which current topics, especially the Sino-Japanese conflict, were discussed. The club was fortunate in having Jean Pa jus as faculty adviser. The organization is associated with the Carnegie Endowment for World Peace and through their co-operation was able to present last fall a lecture by Herr M. Fischer of the Hungarian State Railways. Plans have been laid by the organization for the development of the society so that eventually it may offer foreign students the advantage of living together under conditions agreeable to their various nationalities. Although but few members of the club are at present foreign born, the officers realize the coining necessity. At an informal discussion, a small building, accommodating fifty students in individual outside rooms, with a dining room, lounge, library and recreation hall, was offered as an approaching need. This building would lx so built that it might eventually lx enlarged to enclose a courtyard, the four sides of which would contain rooms for five hundred students.

Cummings, 34 Secretary Treasurer This honor society, the Bio-Chemical Club, is composed of pre-medical students and younger graduates in medicine. It aims at fostering a spirit of research, and through co-opcra-tion gives generous assistance to young investigators. Although not a social organization, the friendly association it offers with scientific men of prominence provides agreeable contacts, while displaying the best standards of professional life to the inexperienced. Fortnightly meetings are held to discuss technical subjects, and occasionally these are open to the general public when the subjects are of popular interest. The board of directors of the club includes, in addition to the chairman, the vice-chairman, the secretary, and the moderator, Thomas J. Lennon, A.B., M.D., Theodore Schomaker, A.B., M.D., Maurice R. (irawney, D.D.S., Gerald G. Cleary, M.D., and Richard Wagner, M.D. The society has done much research into the history of the University. It has uncovered the facts that the University once owned the first commercial electric light plant in America, that the transcontinental telegraph first terminated in the science laboratories of our institution, and that in 1SS0 the University owned one of the five finest laboratories in the United States. (It should be said that the Club has publicized, rather than discovered these facts. —Ed.) HORATIANS OrKiniml 1931 Rev. John J. iearon, S.J. Moderator Richard C. O'Connor, ’33 Praetor Howard S.

It devotes its time to the study of those authors not frequently found in the classroom; the medieval Latin authors were the subject of special interest during the past year. Not the least notable has been the interest which Fr. Gearon, S.J., professor of Latin at the University, has shown in the organization. Attendant at every meeting, he has pronounced the group the University’s leading cultural activity. 125 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Organi xtl 1 ‘ 28 Loris BatmaLE, '34 President Clement A.

Bailey, SJ., who was then head of the Department of French, and included most of the French students of the University. The club has not been as active as usual during the past year, perhaps due to the departure of Father Bailey, who is now at Gonzaga University. However, a number of literary and social gatherings were held under the auspices of Le Cercle Francais. An interesting experiment, not wholly within the realm of the society’s activities, was conducted during the past year. Several meetings were held in which all conversation, arguments and decisions were carried on by means of mental telepathy. The success of the experiment has been difficult to determine. Mr. Louis Batmalc, when questioned, replied that the experiment might have been considered a “negative success.” To clear up the point, Mr. Batmalc elucidated that the experiment was “not a positive failure.” Despite the fact that organization has not been destroyed, the society has not been as active this year as it has in the past. The members, mostly underclassmen, have announced their intention of building the group up to the position of importance it formerly held. 126 Rl W, (lou’l II. V|| IM.I R.

Major Francis H. Forbes is the faculty moderator of the society. On the evening of September 12, 1 M31, the Don Quixote Fandango was held in the auditorium of the Arts and Science building and was pronounced a marked success. A banquet and smoker concluded the activities for the year 1932. Don Quixote has gained the reputation of being the most social minded of the activity clubs. Besides several dances, banquets and smokers, it has sponsored innumerable theatre-parties and the like. Members of the Don Quixote club supply information of college activities to various Spanish newspapers on the Pacific Coast. A year ago the group maintained a special section of the local Spanish newspaper, which served not only to increase their facility in Spanish but to foster a greater interest in their chosen study. Members of this group are very often of native Spanish or South American stock. Many are preparing for commercial careers in foreign lands, notably in the Spanish Americas. An interesting feature of a recent meeting was a report on the number of former members now engaged in business in which they find Spanish a necessary adjunct.

Treasurer Chaplain The membership of the Sociality is restricted to a select group of about one hundred incm-Ixrrs of the senior, junior and sophomore classes who receive Holy Communion monthly in a body. Previously composed exclusively of seniors and juniors, the Sodality extended the privilege of membership to sophomores upon the general agreement of the moderator and the officers. The purpose of the organization is to foster an increase of religious spirit with special devotion to Mary and to promote active Catholic leadership. Under the direction of Father Moot , S.I., the Sodality has become a vital factor in the life of the college. Under its sponsorship the Annual Retreat was given. Hr. Thomas J. Flaherty, S.J., Retreat Master of the Jesuit retreat house, El Retiro, at Los Altos, California, conducted the exercises of the retreat. Fr. Flaherty, shortly after the conclusion of the retreat, was struck down by a partial paralysis due to complications induced by overwork. At the present time he is convalescent in St. Mary’s Hospital under the care of Dr. Edward Morrissey, a graduate of the College of Arts and Science. Fr. Bernard MacFadden has assumed Fr. Flaherty’s duties at El Retiro. Harry Robinson, president of the Sodality, announces that the policy of the group in the future will Ik much as it has been in the past—a quiet, steady, support of the principles of Christian manhood. 128 SIGMA IOTA EPSILON Organized 1929 Frederick J.

Prominent engineers have lectured at meetings of the society and the academic year was climaxed by the annual engineering dinner. At a recent meeting the society traced the development of the Boulder Dam project, the president, Mr. Hazelwood, illustrating the point that a mere technical knowledeg is no longer sufficient for the modern engineer to lx successful. He used the Boulder Dam development to point out the effect which politics and economics had in the formation of the project. Although the society, due to a change in the engineering policy of the University, at present includes only underclassmen, its rolls are open to all students of the college. 129 •� i F R A T E R N I T I E S FRATERNITIES INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL Alpha L a m b d a Phi Kappa Chi :: P s i Chi :: Sigma Kappa Sigma Ijnui sc, Kjsnv, Bloom; | Wmr.irr.

THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL Organized 1931 The Interfraternity Council was organized during the fall semester to fill the growing need for an arbiter to decide the problems which result from interfraternity relations. After several changes in personnel, the organization, which was active for the greater part of the year, consisted of Mcrvin I looser. Sigma Kappa Sigma, chairman; Milton McGrccvy, Sigma Kappa Sigma; Alan Grant and Morton Kenny, Alpha Lambda; Richard Byrne and Joseph Wright, Phi Kappa Chi; and Lloyd Bloom and Sidney Linden, Phi Chi. A definite code was drawn up regarding rushing and pledging; rules were made regarding liquor, chaperoning at house parties, and restrictions laid on the holding of open house parties. Several instances where the fraternities had allegedly abused the conditions of their charters were laid before the board to arbitrate. The Interfraternity Council also sponsored a series of activities which took place between the houses, including a football and a basketball championship. I;or the spring semester several minor diversions, including an interfraternity ping-pong championship tournament, are being arranged. The institution of the Council came at a time when such an organization was sorely needed. Inasmuch as there was not even a gentleman’s agreement between the fraternities in regard to rushing and pledging, the desirable freshman was fought for with tooth and tusk. The first official action of the committee remedied this state and brought into being a law which requires a student to have been in the college one full quarter before he may lx sought after in any way. 133 I'm mi wo '. � ai 11 v, Oai i vi. v� Pom sta.

The Sophs, tongues in cheeks, patted the bruised backs or their Freshman adversaries, and seemed to convince them that it was “all in fun.” The dance, held in the College Auditorium, was arranged by Tom Trodden. Ralph Montague’s San Franciscans furnished thc music. A somewhat exotic gathering, who spoke Spanish (more or less) with a sharp flavor of Gaelic brogue, or a humorous Italian accent, convened on September twelfth to do honor to Don Quixote, through the medium of the club of that name. Senor Henry Abclla, past moderator and founder of the organization, was the guest of honor. The evening was spent in “bailando y bebiendo” (punch). To keep the social bird on the wing, the Letter Society sponsored an informal dance on Saturday, October tenth. The “college atmosphere” set up by new block sweaters lent an appropriate background to the occasion. The lettermcn proved that charity begins at home by utilizing Ralph Montagues melody makers. The first of the “big four,” in a social sense, the Sophomore Drag, was staged on Hallowe’en at the Tanforan Jockey Club. To say that the Soph Drag was a success is rather prosaic- the drag is always a success. There were, however, two incidents that were especially a--- ' v ■ xxi- w«ton� L£L- •?----------- r r --- xwVOu Go t New x '.Low- commerce TOsfxdsffo0S Xlion , Formal Set For C C0 p � •: s r- rsw V� jlomotJS '•_ n. 4, ) (5fe outstanding. The first was the dogged persistency of the Federal custodians of law and order, in guarding the adjoining parking space; with the result that the bulk of the transported synthetic cheer lay untouched in locked cars. Some more ingenious students, by means of suddenly developed charley-horses, succeeded in limping home with the gravy; at which their popularity increased in a most incredible manner. The second feature was the checkroom frolic, which the class of ’34 has mastered in a manner that brings tears to the eyes of any loyal coat-seeker. Ray Tellicr’s band furnished the music. Punch and cookies were served on the veranda. The programs, unique leather-bound wallets, were cleverly conceived by President Jim Rice and the Soph Drag committee. The annual Christmas Formal, the only traditional formal given on the campus, took place on Saturday, December twelfth. The Christinas Formal, since its inauguration a few years ago, has been the bright-star in the social firmament; due to the advantage of a gratuitously furnished location, which makes possible more elaborate decorations, and more costly favors. This year’s dance was no exception to the adopted norm, “the best is none too good.” The music was right. The favors were elaborate: silver corsage pins of striking originality. It is therefore to be regretted that the affair, so carefully arranged by Ed Murphy and the committee, was not the financial success of former years; when all indications pointed toward a crowning achievement. There is hardly a doubt that the reason lay in the fact that the bids sold for three dollars; a price which, in such money-scarce days, was colossal enough to be almost exhorbitant. The Law-Commerce Formal was again held in the Terrace Ballroom of the Fairmont Hotel, on Saturday, January thirtieth. The dance, well-attended by both day and night-school ft « v« ak� •� � • ih- «•- v ,� 'Vv I ™ •� «t«w vlV livkMM First Gavel Meetr Scheduled ts=r j Scheduled _ ■ - ■ ? ••• ■ Sophs Ready For Dr —--------... fr ««| W� Ur«4 «v«f II Ml students, (although essentially an evening division affair) was nicely planned by chairman Jack Curtis and a capable committee. The music was furnished by an orchestra which had recently been engaged in Yoscmite’s famous Hotel Ahwanee. The programs were leather-bound, displaying the school’s colors. There were those who preferred last year’s incident of the accidental tuxedoed ablution in the Terrace Plunge, to this year’s unsolicited bit of dinner-jacketed eccentric dancing on the ten-foot spring board—but not many. The letter society sponsored a second informal dance on the Saturday evening of the Olympic Club, Varsity basketball game. If the game embraced a somewhat disappointing result, the Block Club dance restored good spirits. The dance committee was headed by chairman Louis Prusinovsky. The Freshman Fandango, which had gained a reputation for unusual settings, came ashore this year, and was rather lavishly put on at the California Country Club. The committee procured Eddie Fitzpatrick’s music, which was well received. Refreshments, favors and lighting effects added to the occasion. Class president Patrick Horgan was the chairman of the committee. The Irish Frosh blood asserted itself, and St. Patrick’s day was the gala occasion. On April sixteenth, the upper classmen’s contribution to the social life of the University, the Junior Prom, was held at the Union League Country Club.The committee was fortunate in procuring Don Adam’s orchestra, formerly of the Hotel Ahwanee in Yosemite, which had hitherto scored a hit at the Law-Commerce Formal. That “different” touch for which the Prom is noted, this year look the form of a midnight supper, which was enthusiastically received. The programs were imitation bank-books. Alan Breen was chairman of the committee. . 0( � � „ Z. ...... ° ,- •. ♦ • Don Qu oVc Dance UeWmMWonum u ■ tSS p'.-i ' U� � • 1 (Ml� u • M «u • ,M AX ' ■' crtW 'l ,v.t u—“ V 1-.MW « w .... r '...•« ••■ • ... ,-w' U . noattff , � U� � .V.'

S. F. nights at the Hotel St. Francis, where Phil Harris and his boys, who have so generously entertained at school rallies, contributed largely to a very enjoyable evening. 1 he Palace Hotel also sponsored a night especially dedicated to the “dancing Dons.’ Fraternity dances, given at home in newly-procured houses, were held several times during the school year, with quite satisfactory results. Other club groups, such as the Mask Club, were hosts at dances on different occasions. Those whose social aspirations are concerned more with appeasing the discriminations of the palate than with the art of tcrpsichory, succeeded, on several occasions, in satisfying their epicurean fancies. Fraternity dinners were held monthly at different hotels; the Varsity football team was twice feted at banquets; and those linguistic societies, the Don Quixote and Horatian Clubs, proved that even foreigners have ways of satisfying their appetites. Alpha Lambda struck a new note in the social scale when the Jordan Avenue fraternity sponsored several bridge teas on Saturday afternoons. They are reported to have been well received. Not to Ik- outdone in the pasteboard pastime, the Phi Sigma Epsilon sorority, newly organized by the coeds of the evening College, promoted a bridge tea, augmented by a fashion show, on the afternoon of October thirty-first. The proceeds were devoted to the U. S. F. appeal, ns part of the quota of the women of the night division. 143 c A L I F 0 R N 1 A N A The Isthmus Route to California by Clifford Meagher, 33 What deemed they of the future or the past? The present, lil e a tyrant, held them fast. —I- )Ki) Byron. Tlie history of that curious terrestrial hour-glass, that hangs in the western hemisphere, and is more commonly known as the “Americas,” has revolved around the narrow strip of land that unites these two continents—the Isthmus of Panama. The Isthmus has ever been regarded with attention by all the nations of the world, presenting, as it does, the smallest impediment to inter-ocean communication, and an uninterrupted western pathway from Europe to Asia. It represents the vital principle of the Americas, the throat, as it were, which, if seized by hostile hands, would surely and quickly choke the life out of the continents that bound it. The Isthmus has been the scene of adventure and romance since Balboa himself stood “silent upon a peak in Darien,” and perhaps no epoch in its history is more glamorous than the mad, chaotic days of the “gold-rush” to California. The gold-seekers had a choice of three routes to California—overland, with its unexplored wastes; the water route around the “Horn,” embracing unknown perils; and the Isthmus route, comprising a combination of the two. Of this ghastly trio, the Isthmus route embraced a journey altogether individual and unique; it was an adventure, an outing and a lesson in human nature, pressed into one. The gold-pilgrims were first landed at Chagres, the Atlantic terminal of the Isthmus, at which point they stampeded from the decks of the steamers Isthmus and Onager City like so many liberated buffalo. Chagres was, at that time, a town of approximately seven hundred native inhabitants, dwelling in some fifty windowless bamboo huts, with thatched roofs and floors of bare ground. The town was surrounded by heaps of filthy offal, and greasy stagnant pools, bordered with blue mud. In the distance, crouched upon a conspicuous promontory were the ruins of the castle of San Lorenzo, whose battered fortress and battlements, crumbling to dust under the persistent bombardment of Time, seemed almost a victim of that corruption, which, for more than a century, it had gazed upon. The adventurers stayed at Chagres no longer than sufficed to engage boats and start on their journey to Panama. The first step overland, up to about 1852, was accomplished by hiring bongos, which were carry-alls for baggage as well as passengers, and proceeding thence up the Chagres river; then across what is now known as Gatun Lake, to the heads of navigation, either Gargona or Las Cruces. However, by 1852, the Panama railroad was partially completed, and to afford the company due encour- - T H E I S T HMUS ROU T E agcmcnt, all prospective Isthmus travelers were obliged to traverse the first seven miles by rail. The Atlantic terminus of the railroad was at Colon, which at that time was called Aspinwall, after a New York money magnate. Aspinwall was situated some three leagues (nine miles) from Chagres, occupying a small swampy mud-reef named Manzanza island, fringed with mangrove trees, and originally covered with interlacing vines and thorny shrubs, and inhabited only by reptiles, beasts and poi-sonous insects. There was probably no more loathsome spot in all the world than this town of Aspinwall, with its hybrid population and its streets of intersecting stagnant pools. It rested on a slimy bed of decaying vegetation, that reeked pestilence, and actually crawled w'ith hideous reptiles. It was a town of living-death, for no white man could subsist amidst this cesspool of tropical putrescence; where vultures wheeled and thrived; where disease hung like smoke in mid-air; where furniture fell to pieces, and iron oxidized in twenty-four hours; and where scores of yellow-faced, owlish-eyed skeletons, who, having taken their chances of reaching California on a puny capital and lost, prayed for death’s speedy liberation. The railway transported the eager adventurers on open platform cars some seven miles, at a dollar a mile, to Gatun, situated on a river of the same name, near its confluence with the Chagres river. Mere was a bedlam of confusion and wrangling, for at this point the travelers were thrown more or lesson their own bartering skill in engaging “bongos” or canoes from owners who had learned from the whites how to cheat and deceive, and were out to beat them at their own game. They were quick to charge exhorbitant fares, knowing that the eagerness of the passengers to proceed, would not allow a monetary barrier to hinder their progress. Rascality was omnipresent. Contracts were broken with impunity. Assassinations were frequent and mysterious. Transportation prices to Gar-gona ranged from thirty to fifty dollars per boat, which were no more than roughly-hewn logs of bay or mahogany. There was an additional fee of a bottle of brandy for each of the boatmen. The boats were propelled with long piles by crews of black, muscular negroes. They took their stand upon the broadened edges of the bongo, half on each side, and by plunging one end of the pole into the sandy river-bottom, and placing the other against an ebony shoulder, proceeded to step steadily from stem to stern, sending the canoe through the water at the sometimes incredible speed of one mile per hour! They traveled as near to the shore as possible, thus avoiding the swift middle current, yet, despite utmost care, they sometimes missed their purchase, the boat thereby losing as much distance in five minutes as it could regain in an hour. The negro is a none too diligent worker, and the Central American black man proved no exception to the rule. They would push until their chocolate bodies glowed with honest sweat, and the puffing of exhaled breath resembled a laboring locomotive; then by some intuitive force, they would shout “bano” in harmonious unison, and proceed to undress with unequaled nonchalance, while the horror-stricken female passengers sat aghast! While the gentlemen from Africa were having their ablution, the boat lay pinned to the shore by a clever cross-arrangement of the propelling poles. Sometimes too, they would be suddenly overtaken by tropical rains, which come in unannounced downpours in these regions. Under such circum- 147 THE ISTHMUS ROUTE - - - stances, the boatmen stripped themselves with amazing dexterity, and placing their rolled-up wearing apparel in a dry place, pushing in unblushing nakedness until the rain stopped. The current in some places was so swift that the poles proved totally ineffectual, and here the African citizens would turn Volga boatmen, and tow the boat by ropes from the river bank. Very often several boats would be within conversation distance, whence there ensued, through the medium of witty remarks, catcalls, coarse jests and nondescript yells, a series of impromptu lx at races that relieved the monotony of die voyage. The boat journey extended from Gatun to Gargona, some twenty-odd miles, accomplished in two days and nights; portions of the days being taken for rest, and parts of the nights for travel. The course of this journey led through a jungle land of flamboyant tropical beauty that was, in a sense, as unique and impressive as the trip itself. It was a land that was at once surpassingly fair and incomparably foul. It seems almost unbelievable that under the gay foliage of myriads of tropical trees, parasitic vines and microscopic blossoms, among which verdure can be found the most gayly-plumaged birds in the universe, there should lurk slimy reptiles, venomous monsters and a multiformed variety of invisible death. Yet the excited travelers were blissfully oblivious of the proximity of the Grim Reaper; liberation from the cramped confines of steerage passage and the anticipation that goaded them on, made everything else, even death, seem neglible. The first stop was made at Dos Hermanos, a little before nightfall, at which place the travelers partook of a dinner set out in ixldshaped dishes filled with tortillas, dried meat, boiled fowl, eggs, fresh rolls, and coffee. The journey was resumed immediately after dinner, and all through the tropical night. The whole next day was spent laboring upstream under a blazing sun, amid the steaming rotteness that at times was almost unbearable. The trip was occasionally interrupted to rest and eat, but not until Barbacoas was gained, were the travelers able to get a good night’s sleep. Gargona was reached the next day, which marked the end of the bongo ride, and the beginning of a new experience—the mule trip to Panama. There were three routes to Panama, starting at Gargona, Las Cruces and Bas O’Bispo respectively, but Gargona being reached first, was the most frequently used. Gargona was a fair-sized town, boasting some five or six hotels kept by Yankee proprietors; several stores, and an abundance of saloons and fandango houses. It was this latter place of amusement that caused the famous historian, Bancroft, to remark, “The baser sort (of adventurer) danced on the sward, beneath a vertical moon. Byron is right in his sarcasm on the chaste moon! It was a half barbarous and wholly voluptuous dance, and the reward of the danseuse, the most enduring and suggestive, was to have the hats of the company piled on her head—a doubtful honor considering the heads from which they came.” Gargona was the haven of hope and the port of despair. To those whose adventure lay yet before them, Gargona marked the next to the last lap of a long journey; yet it was here that they first met the main body of returning prospectors; men who had hoped and dreamed just as they; men who were now broken, despondent, penniless and disillusioned. Some were deeply affected by the sight and the advice of their brothers-in-quest, and turned back with them; but the bulk pressed on. - - - THE ISTHMUS ROU T E A hub-bub similar to that which took place at Gatun, ensued at Gargona, over the hire of donkeys, but at length a bargain was struck and the travelers were on their way. The price of transportation ranged from ten to twenty dollars. Some of the women donned man’s apparel and rode man-wise; others accepted a compromise, and imitated Mrs. Bloomer, who cut off her skirts and paraded the streets of New York first in 1849, just in time to set a convenient fashion for prospecting women to follow. Children were seated in chairs strapped to the backs of natives, some of whom assessed amazing strength, carrying as much as two-hundred pounds over twenty-five miles from Gargona to Panama. The path was extremely rough and very diversified. The first two miles were flat table-land, from which a dark forest was entered, so dense that the sun was wholly excluded. Thence the way led successively over soft, uneven ground, through shady canyons and mountain chasms, and up precipitous hillsides, cut by travel into steps and stairs, and over which the sure-footed animals walked with the utmost sangfroid. There were times when a misstep would have meant certain death among the boulders below. Again there were times when the path snaked its way through ravines so narrow that the travelers were obliged to shout before entering, as passing was impossible. Occasionally, even this precaution was in vain, and a rider coming round a blind turn would find himself face-to-face with another coming the opposite direction. At this point, both being reluctant to back out, they would draw up their legs, anti try to squeeze past, with indifferent success. To add to the interest of the journey, the roac vas well marked with crosses, which designated the final resting places of those who had taken second best in an affair with an assassin. At convenient intervals, the road was bordered with rude hotels, bearing such names as the “Halfway House,” and its arch enemy, the “True Halfway House,” kept by Europeans and Americans. Here the travelers might rest and cat, and become the victims of outrageous prices for refreshments which were none too delectable. Having once arrived at Panama, the task of getting boat passage to California presented itself; which was indeed a task of some proportions, as tickets were often possessed by unscrupulous brokers who demanded a ridiculous premium for them. Even those who managed to procure tickets sometimes found themselves on the high seas on ships whose captains and officers were accustomed to take in so much wine and spirits, that they had forgotten to take in any water. In Panama the prospectors learned an expensive lesson in the fickleness of human nature; when, upon inquiring for their baggage which they supposed had been forwarded from Chagrcs, they found themselves the victims of one of the tricks of the trade; and whatever possessions they had checked were irrevocably and eternally lost. This caused some to saturate their sorrows in the tropical liquors that soon brought an end to their woe; others contracted fever and were often shunned like lepers, even by former friends, whom misfortunes and suffering had ealoused to a cold indifference to human ailments. When word was finally given that the steamer was ready to sail, all who could drag their weary limbs up the gang-plank proceeded to do so; the ship steamed into the Pacific, and the Isthmus trip was but a memory. The San Francisco Vigilance Committee of 1856 by Rinaldo Sciaroni, ’33 San Francisco in 1856! What was it like? It was ten years since the Mexican flag had flown over the sleepy village of Ycrba Buena; nine years since Washington Bartlett, the first American alcalde, had succeeded in capturing the name of San Francisco from the town of Benicia; and eight years since Jim Marshall had discovered gold at Sutter’s Mill on the bank of the American River. In the interim immigrants had swelled the population of the city by thousands and San Francisco had acquired all the atmosphere of a frontier settlement, together with the usual infamy. We are all familiar with the stirring and romantic accounts of the rollicking life of the city —its color and its lavishness. Let us glance at some of the more prosaic elements of the city’s life. A writer of the time tells us that “water, which is purchasable by the bucket, is too expensive to lx used except for the indispensable purposes of drinking, cooking, and very slight I aval ions. Large water wagons furnished water to houses and each dwelling had a barrel in the kitchen to be filled. Residents were just beginning to build houses with bath-tubs: most baths were taken in barber shops. The What Cheer House on Sacramento Street below Montgomery was the only hotel with public bath-tubs, and they were in the basement, not in the rooms. Sheets and pillow slips of ocean steamers were to be seen drying in the westerly winds at “Washerwoman’s Lake” which was situated beyond the limits of the surveyed city, beyond Larkin Street. Steamer day was a local institution and the Eastern papers arriving were the sole sources of world news. Gentlemen dressed in “beavers” and long Prince Albert coats and wore botos; the ladies were not yet emancipated from their hoops. William Walker, the colorful soldier of fortune, had just left San Francisco and had taken control of the government of the sovereign state of Nicaragua, a foreboding of future American domination. Father Maraschi had recently employed a workman to dig a depression in the sand hill back of his sch(K)l so that the boys coming from Mission Street might more easily reach the rude beginnings of the University of San Francisco. The Montgomery Block, still standing at the corner of Washington Street, was already three years old. Sixty caravansaries contributed to the life of the city, including “Hillman’s Temperance House” on Davis Street. The “El Dorado,” one of the most noted gambling saloons, had been transformed into the Hall of Records, a depositary of musty official documents. iso - - - T H E VIGILANTES Five years before a Vigilance Committee had been established by the citizens of San Francisco in order to restore public order and suppress crime and corruption, which had flourished unabated even after summary punishment had been inflicted upon the “Hounds,” a band of ex-Australian convicts who had persecuted the Latin-American members of the community in the years 1S4S and 1849. The 1851 Committee had restored peace to the city for a time. A lack of the sense of civic consciousness may be ascribed as the cause of the disorders which resulted in the formation of the Vigilance Committees of both 1851 and 1856. The population of the city was not wholly composed of disreputable characters that were finally cowed by a militant majority, but the better citizens neglected municipal affairs almost completely and let the administration of the city fall into the hands of a group of practical politicians, a species that is known to every time and every age. While the respectable men of the community were in their counting rooms, the disreputable element was enthroned on the bar of justice. One of the vices of the time was the carrying of firearms; every man went “heeled.” At the sessions of the legislature it was the custom of the members to take off their pistols and lay them on the desks before them: this practice was so common that it attracted no attention. But weapons carried ostensibly for defensive purposes may as easily Ik used for offensive. Public office and their emoluments had fallen to criminals and an honest man’s vote was worthless at the polls. Some of the worst characters driven from the New York Bowery and from Botany Bay, Australia, wallowed in all kinds of political corruption and graft. Trials in the courts became a farce, and those in power made no pretense of shielding their friends when charged with crimes. Clubs were formed to sell their votes to the highest bidders. The flight of Harry Meiggs with $800,000 tricked from the public treasury and the disreputable failures of a couple of banks created a state of apprehension. The work of rousing the better class of residents to the struggle to clean up the city was begun by James King of William, a descendant of an old Virginia family and a prominent banker in the city who lost his fortune in the local panic of 1854-1855. I Ic had discovered numbers of corrupt transactions and voiced his convictions on the conditions of the times in the “Evening Bulletin” which began publication on October 8, 1855. It consisted of four pages, ten by fifteen inches in size. The papers of the early Fifties were fighting journals that had not acquired the modern habit of sparing the past lives of officials and of confining their criticisms to the shortcomings of the immediate present. California was filled with men who had a past and when one of that sort came up for public honors or had secured office, he was dealt with unmercifully. Two men named Cora and Richardson met in a sahxrn on the eighteenth of November, 1855. They had not known one another before, but the atmosphere of the bar room soon put them upon an easy, if not congenial, f x ting. After several drinks, they quarreled, but separated without coming to blows. The pair met again the next day, quarreled and, in the ensuing scuffle, Cora shot and killed Richardson. Cora was a professional gambler; Richardson a United States marshal. I he gambler’s trial took place in January. He was defended by Colonel E. I). Baker, later United States T 11 E V I c; I I. A N T E S - senator, who succeeded in bringing about a disagreement of the jury after it had deliberated forty-one hours. The jury deadlock caused great indignation and the press charged that the jury had been packed. Many said the outcome would Ik a lynching. James Ring of William declared that if Cora was allowed to escape, the sheriff must hang. The “Evening Bulletin” began a crusade against crime which it asserted was protected by the politicians. Ring’s assaults were aimed largely at the government employees in San Francisco. The “Federal Brigade” was championed by James P. Casey in his weekly paper. Casey printed an anonymous letter asserting that Ring’s brother had sought Richardson’s position, but had been repulsed. The name of the writer of the letter was not revealed. Ring was preparing an editorial attack upon Casey when the latter visited the “Bulletin” office to protest. I Iowever. that same evening a slashing attack upon Casey was emblazoned upon the pages of the Ring newspaper; it revealed that the “Federal brigade” champion was an ex-convict from Sing Sing prison, charged that he had been elected to the board of supervisors by means of ballot stuffing, and declared that Casey deserved to have “his neck stretched for such fraud upon the people.” These identical charges had been levied against Casey by other papers tafore this, but-he had not greatly resented the accusations. Bad blood had been curdled in the interim and Casey, enraged by a rehearsal of his past misdeeds, resolved to murder Ring. Me did not enter the “Bulletin” office to shoot Ring, but lurked in the vicinity, awaiting Ring’s departure for home. As soon as the editor appeared, Casey opened fire and shot him down. A crowd gathered immediately about the prostrate Ixxly of the political crusader and it appeared that a lynching was imminent. However, Casey managed to reach safety in the city jail on Broadway. Daily bulletins of Ring’s condition were posted and excitement rose and fell as changes showing improvement or relapse were noted. On May 15th, the day after the shooting, a call appeared in the press for a meeting of the citizens, which took place in the former headquarters of the “Rnow Nothings.” A thousand persons or more signed the roll, thereby subscribing to the constitution of the committee, which was the same as that adopted by the members in 1851. Thus the Vigilance Committee of 1856 was born. William T. Coleman had written out the oath of fealty, pledging life, liberty, property, and honor. Membership was impersonal and each man was known by a number (Coleman was No. 1). While Ring still lived the city was an armed camp. The Committee secured all the stock in the gun shops and guards were stationed around the jail to prevent the removal of Casey and Cora by the authorities. Governor J. Neely Johnson gave the Vigilantes permission to place a small body within the prison walls in order that there might Ik complete assurance against attempted removal of the prisoners. The sheriff, summoning a posse of one hundred to safeguard Cora and Casey, obtained but fifty. On the night of Saturday, May 17th. the alarm bell summoned the Vigilantes to headquarters and on Sunday twenty-six hundred of them assembled and were formed into companies of artillery, cavalry and infantry. With cannon to batter down the doors, they marched to the jail and demanded 152 - • - T U E V I G I L A N T E S the prisoners. The sheriff complied with their request. King died upon the next Tuesday and the trial of Cora and Casey before the Vigilante Committee began. Both men were given advocates to defend them; both were tried before a jury of the Vigilantes, were convicted and hanged from a platform run out from the second story windows of Fort Gunnybags on the south side of Sacramento Street near Davis. Thus ended the most spectacular events in the history of the Vigilance Committee of ’56. The city was eventually cleaned up and a reform party was elected to the municipal offices, defeating the old politicians who masqueraded under the title of the “Law and Order” party. The headquarters of the 1856 Vigilance Committee on Sacramento Street near Davis was protected by coarse sacks filled with sand and piled up, nearly six feet thick and ten feet high. On account of these defenses it received the name “Fort Gunnybags.” Cannon were placed in the embrasures at each corner. Inside was a platform and openings, from which a scathing broadside of musketry could be fired. There was a strong impression at the time that the rival Law and Order party had obtained control of certain surrounding buildings from which they might control the situation by arms. To meet such an attack the Vigilantes placed cannon on the roof of Fort Gunnybags. These defenses could have been raided readily by a strong force, but the show of ample military strength seemingly attained the object of the organization. Noth: A picture of Fort Gunnybags is used to illustrate the title-page of the Activities section of this book. THOMAS STARR KING (Whose statue, with that of Fr. Junipcro Scrra. stands in the National Capitol at Washington as one of the leading figures in the life of pioneer California. The following was written shortly after his death in I KM, ami during the course of the Civil War. hence the apt military figure employed.) Relieving Guard—March 4th, 1864 Came the Relief. “What, Sentry, ho! How passed the night through thy long waking?” “Cold, cheerless, dark,—as may Ik til The hour before the dawn is breaking.” “No sight, no sound?” No; nothing save The plover from the marshes calling; And in yon Western sky, about An hour ago, a Star was falling.” “A star? There’s nothing strange in that.” “No, nothing; but, above the thicket, Somehow it seemed to me that God Somewhere had just relieved a picket!” —Francis Bret Harte 153 Overture The Story of the Early Days of Sun Francisco s Theatre by Howard J. Doyle, '33 “Overture,” calls the Great Producer. It is 1776. The stage is set. the actors ready. Across the continent the American Colonies arc rising against England. Boston has had its tea party. The Liberty Bell is pealing over Philadelphia. An exciting year, highly appropriate for the beginnings of an exciting time. The curtains part upon, “San Francisco, An Extravaganza.” Thus to martial music, to the stirring rhythm of distant drums, the future city of Saint Francis is born. The first act is pastoral. Out on the sand dunes is the newly founded Mission Dolores. And there, for the edification of the good folk of Yerba Buena, the miracle plays of Old Spain are presented by the padres. So it begins. The years pass. Alta California amuses itself. Caballeros march forth to war and to woo indiscriminately with sword and banjo. “Juliet” is re-enacted on many a latticed balcony. Fiestas foreshadow the ballets that are to come. In ’46 the soldiers of the great Eastern republic come upon the California stage. For entertainment they turn to the theatre. Skits are written, comedies performed. The first act is drawing to its close. But there is to lx- a moment of high excitement before the curtain falls upon the colorful, dreamy pageant of Alta California. As an audience, there is the world. That audience is to lx left breathless as the grand finale rings the curtain down. The year is ’48. Like a whirlwind, the word speeds across mountains, prairies, rivers and the seven seas. Gold! Gold has been discovered in California. Act Two has a different musical prelude. True, the martial ring of the song of 76 remains. The rat-tat-tat of the drums draws nearer. But the theme, elaborated in a thousand different ways, is “Oh. Susanna!” They are whistling it in Boston. New York and Philadelphia are keeping time. Across the prairies the music swells and fades. It is a gay song. And gay, too, are the singers. Westward ! Westward ho! “With my banjo on my knee!” Once again the curtain rises. What a metamorphosis in sleepy little Yerba Buena. The second act opens on Portsmouth Square. Adventurers from every land of earth are striding by. They have laid aside the less colorful garb of civilization to bedeck themselves in the flowing - - - OVERTURE cloaks, the sweeping sombreros of Spanish America. There are men of all nations in the city of Saint Francis and the Square is their gathering place. “A wild perverse race,” they have been called, these Argonauts of '49. Extravagant even to madness, gay, desperate, young. The land is young. Let the young possess it. The gold is young. Youth alone can enjoy it. The city is young. San Francisco shouts for amusement. And the theatre, always youthful, heeds the call. Even in '49 there were three circuses in the immediate vicinity of the Square. You might sit in the pit for Three Dollars. A box cost Five Dollars. But you must have a private stall? Yes, sir. Fifty-five Dollars, please, to watch Adonis, the almost human horse, go through his paces. Fifty-five Dollars to see Rowe’s Circus! San Francisco, An Extravaganza! The theatre came early to San Francisco. On June 22 in '49, Mr. Stephen C. Massett (the Ruth Draper of the day, if the notices are to lx credited) played to a crowded house in an old schoolroom on the Square. The program was delightful. Mr. Massett sang—either in a rousing baritone or a highly capable falsetto—his own compositions, the popular ballads of the day, and some of the better known operatic arias. He recited “Richard III,” burlesqued some well-known figures of the Eastern stage, anti concluded, as the program says, with “The celebrated ‘Yankee Town Meeting’ in which Mr. Massett will give imitations of seven different persons who had assembled for the purpose of suppressing the press.” The original California ‘‘lightning-change” artist. Mr. Massett. Incidentally, Miss Draper, tickets for Steve Massett’s entertainment sold at Three Dollars each. The only daily-paper, the “Alta California,” reviewed the performance enthusiastically and observed that, “while the front scats were reserved for ladies, only four came.” San Francisco was a man’s town in those days. January of 1850 saw the first regular plays presented in the city. They were given on the second floor of the Alta California Building at Washington Street and the Plaza. The Annals of San Francisco relates that The Wife and Charles 11 were on the bill and remarks ruefully, “ The most that can lx said of the exhibition is, that the performance was poor and the room well filled.” Then the circus on Kearny between Clay and Sacramento decided to become a stock company. Othello was included in the repertoire. Later that year, in April, French vaudeville arrived in a little theatre on Washington Street near Montgomery. San Francisco was getting on. On July 4th, the Dramatic Museum on California Street near Montgomery was opened by a company of amateurs. Doctor Robinson, a protege of Barnum, was impresario. He burlesqued the lexal scenes so hilariously that the Museum became an overnight success. Tom Maguire, proprietor of the Parker House, a gambling saloon on the Square, was an interested spectator of the Museum’s rise to fame—and fortune. Maguire’s ignorance of things theatrical was profound, but nevertheless he resolved to build a theatre. The house, the first Jenny Lind, opened its doors in September. James Stark, an Eastern favorite, was actor-manager. Presented in rapid succession were Macbeth, Hamlet. Lear, Richelieu. Much Ado About Nothing, The Rivals, and others. Miners on a holiday went not only to the light-hearted Museum, but crowded the Jenny Lind to see and applaud Stark as Hamlet or Lear. () V E RTUR E Early in ’51, San Francisco was leveled by fire. All the theatres were destroyed. Maguire immediately rebuilt the Jenny Lind. The new house was just nine days old when it was again burned to the ground. Undismayed, Maguire set about replacing it. He thought it wise to use stone this third time. The third Jenny Lind, perhaps the finest theatre in the country, opened in October. The bill was, All That Glitters Is Not Gold. Shakespeare’s Henry IV was given soon afterward. The Adclphi, too, was rebuilt and opened by a French and Italian troupe as California’s first opera house. The month of October, ’51, also witnessed the opening of the splendid new American Theatre. The house, built upon a quagmire, settled palpably with its first night audience. Being Argonauts they were undisturbed. The show must go on. Scattered about the city were numerous other theatres. So the stage is set. Some of the houses will close, as “San Francisco, An Extravaganza” has its run. But they will lx replaced. The Metropolitan, which Mr. Soule calls “the most magnificent temple of histrionic art in America,” is to come. In the late sixties, William O. Ralston, a promoter with prophetic vision, will send Mr. Peters, the architect, abroad to measure the theatres of Europe. How many will they hold? So many. How wide are their stages, how deep? There are the figures. Now build me the largest theatre in the world. In lanuary of 1869, the new house, the California, will open. Bret Harte will write the salutation. Still later on, the original Orphcum will light its gas lamps on O’Farrell Street. And the players—who are they? Run down the list of the great ones of theatredom in the last eighty years and sec how few were not known in San Francisco. The elder Booth opens The Iron Chest in July of ’52. The picturesque and slightly mad citizenry of the new metropolis throng the Jenny Lind to watch the equally picturesque master as Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard III. Booth returns east to die. leaving Edwin, the melancholy, the pensive l y of nineteen, to rise alone. The final curtain falls for old Junius Brutus Booth, as Edwin strides over the sand dunes, out beyond the Mission, preparing for his historic debut as I Iamlct in ’53. Hardly more than a boy, he may be seen riding down to the Square to rehearsal, perched upon a great white horse. In the new city directory he lists himself, “Comedian and ranchero” and gives an address near the Mission Dolores. Biscaccianti’s singing has taken the town by storm. The highly intelligent Bakers arc managing the Adelphi. Mrs. Judah, who is to remain a San Francisco favorite for thirty years, has arrived. A remarkable character, Mrs. Judah. A great favorite in the southern states, she set sail with her husband and two children for Havana. The ship was wrecked in a storm. She saw her husband drown. Lashed to a spar with the children she drifted for four days. The children died of exposure and starvation. A passing fishing smack at last rescued her. Even after such a frightful experience she returned to the stage. She played with all the major California stock companies and took her accustomed applause with a charming little smile night after night for thirty years. Catherine Sinclair will soon lx “manageress” of the Metropolitan. Sue Robinson, “the fairy star,” is a general favorite. That lovable madcap, Lotta Crabtree, has begun the career which is to 156 - - - OVERTURE make her name a household word from San Francisco to London. Catherine “Kate” Hayes, the Irish nightingale, is winning a place of her own in the heart of San Francisco. The unbelievable Chapmans have left their Mississippi showboat and arc packing the Jenny Lind. Shakespeare, the newest farces from New York, comedies, tragedies and musical spectacles arc all the same with them. They, too, are Argonauts, though their rivals swear they are gypsies. The showboat was their invention, but they have left the Mississippi valley to enter upon the grander adventure—California. For a time, they reign supreme, but soon an even greater star appears. Lola Montcz, the most spectacular woman of the day, starts her amazing California career. An Irish girl, who became the Countess of Landsfcit and the wife of the mad King of Bavaria, Lola has won a place all her own in the theatrical history—and an even greater one, perhaps, in the legends —of California. San Francisco, thinks Lola, should Ik shocked. Whereupon she proceeds to do just that with the famous “Spider Dance.” Just how daring it was means nothing at all. It was Lola herself who “shocked” San Francisco. California was full of Europeans who could relate the escapades of the “Grand Bohemian”—how she was expelled from the domain of Prince Henry of Reuss for trampling, deliberately, upon His Highness’ flower garden—how she had directed the policies of Bavaria after marrying herself to the doddering old king, and then cast her lot with a band of revolutionists who planned to dethrone her royal spouse—how she hail scolded a Paris audience who doubted her abilities as ballerina and emphasized her words by flinging a slipper at the royal box— and many another delectable tale. Soon she will Ik suspected of scheming to become Empress of California. The Chapmans arc annoyed by Lola’s success. The furious feud between them and Lola begins. The Chapmans take the offensive with a rather pointed burlesque, shamelessly entitled, Lola Montcz. Lola seems supremely indifferent, though always courageous. Public opinion frowns upon the Chapmans. Their star recedes and Lola reigns as queen, if not of California, at any rate, of its theatre. But Caroline Chapman is not quite defeated. Doctor Robinson has written a new burlesque, Who’s Got the Countess? And Caroline is asked to play the lead. The piece is done at the San Francisco. Lola decides upon a Sacramento engagement and later sails for Australia. A year later she returns and wins new laurels at the American, playing opposite William Chapman in The Morning Call. On an off night Caroline revives the burlcsuuc. This time the Chapmans have gone too far. The critics and the public resent it, and Lola is vindicated. The overture is finished. We have inspected the stage. We have met the players. Now, what of the play? San Francisco, An Extravaganza. It will begin as a fantasy. For the Gold Rush itself is that. There is comedy, too, to come. Melodrama will enfold against a background of Chinatown and the Barbary Coast. A high comedy of society? Take the California Street cable up Nob I (ill. There’s a “real-folks” episode set over in the Mission. The Bohemians? Russian Hill, for you. And so the masks change until the great tragedy. The gay town that we can know only from fiction and history suffered its “visitation.” The mask of comedy grinned only in embers. There was tragedy in China- OVERTURE • - - town and on “the coast.” The grim cothurnus left its footprints both upon Nob Hill and the Mission. The Bohemians upon Russian Hill were not forgotten. The curtain falls upon the second act. Truly the play is well named—San Francisco, An Extravaganza. There is a third act, perhaps a fourth and a fifth. But the music of the overture is less stirring. The settings are not so colorful. Are the actors not quite so talented? The comedies, the melodramas and the tragedies go on. It might be called San Francisco, A Pageant, but it is not an extravaganza. The music can be recalled, for that is one of the lovelier things about music. “Oh, Susanna” can still stir us. The settings might Ik- patched up and repainted. A bit of paint and patching and Portsmouth Square might gleam again. The “Coast” might seethe as once it did. But the players? No. they are gone forever. Booth, Lola, the Chapmans, Lotta, Mrs. ludah are gone. Kate I laves sings no more. The actors are not with us and the play cannot go on. We cannot call them back for they are scattered to the four corners of the earth. But some of them arc still in San Francisco. Some of them are sleeping in the Masonic Cemetery in the very shadow of the Golden Cross of Saint Ignatius. The writer wishes to express his appreciation to Mr. George Barron, the distinguished Curator of the Dc Young Museum, for suggestions and a wealth of stories relating to the “Great Days” of San Francisco. AUTHORSHIP IN CALIFORNIA (1873) W. C. Bartlett The exacting conditions of pioneer life are not favorable to authorship. If, during this quarter of a century, not a book had been written in California, we might plead, in mitigation, the overshadowing materialism which, while coarsely wrestling for the gains of a day, finds no place for that repose which favors culture and is fruitful of books. But as over the arid plains, in the heat and dust of the long summer, one may trace the belt of green which the mountain-stream carries sheer down to the sea, so there have been many thoughtful men and women who have freshened and somewhat redeemed these intellectual wastes. They have written more books in this quarter of a century than have been written in all the other states west of the Mississippi River. The publication of some of them has cost nearly their weight in gold. During the period of twenty-five years, more than ninety volumes have been written by persons living at the time in the state. No one has sought to live here exclusively by authorship. It has only been the incidental occupation of those |Krsons who have written out of the fullness of their own lives: “Write!”—the great I5S - - - AUTHORS I II I mountains encamped about like sleeping dromedaries, the valleys tilled with the aroma of a royal fruitage, the serene sky, and the rhythm of the great sea—all make audible signs to write. They have written out of a fresh, new life. It is this large acquaintance with nature—this lying down with the mountains until one is taken into their confidence—that may give a new vitality and enlarge the horizon of intellectual life. Whence comes this man with the new poetry, which confounds the critics? And that man with his subtle wit, borrowed from no school? 1 pray you note that for many a day his carpel hath been the spicula of pine, and his atmosphere hath been perfumed by the tir tree. I le has seen the mountains clad in beatific raiment of white, and their sacristy set round with stars. I Ie will never go so far that he will not come back to sing and talk of these, his earliest and divinest loves. So Marie comes back again to his miner’s camp and to the larger lilxrrty of the mountains. And there fell on Starr King a grander inspiration after he had seen the white banners of the snow storm floating from the battlements of Yosemite. VISION I saw a reckless land Where men fought and passion Overran The very bounds of decency. Greed cn rampant, conflict un restrained The fierce domination of the lawless . . . Hut, as though some sanctimonious breath Had breathed upon a window pane. The scene changed . . . No more the strident striving Of wild souls. Instead, a peaceful scene: Great factories and tall office buildings Uplifted against a roseate sky And in the streets, where once men fought. Shadows gathering and pale creatures creeping Home to die. ATHLETICS The Dons . . . There were forty or more in the cavalcade. All were notable lor the rich-new. of the equipage.

Rock THE ATHLETIC BOARD The Board of Athletic Control was confronted with many major problems this year and its members deserve a world of credit by the manner in which they solved them. The board is composed of eleven members, namely: three alumni, graduate manager, four faculty members, and three student members. The alumni members are Vincent S. Brown, Robert 1). Rossi, Ivan Maroevich (replaced Mr. |. Whelan upon his resignation); the faculty members: Reverend Albert Whelan, Reverend Raymond Feel y, Charles P. Knight and 1. Harry; the student members: George Ososke, George King and J. Shelly; the graduate manager; James Smyth. The major problem of the board this year was the choosing of a football coach to replace J. R. Needles. Upon Needles’ resignation the board was flooded with applicants from all over the United States. The field was finally weeded down to three: Lawrence Lewis of Northwestern and former Stanford graduate; Ernie Nevcrs of Stanford and pro football player, and Chevigny, graduate and assistant coach of Notre Dame. After careful consideration of the three men Lewis was given first choice. Lewis in turn picked Dallas Marvil, All-American Northwestern tackle, as his assistant, with the consent of the board. Needles’ resignation from coaching the basketball team forced the board to act quickly and pick a coach to finish the rest of the season. After a hasty meeting they selected Philip Morrissey, a graduate of the college, to finish the season. The board also selected another coach. Charles Hunter was named to succeed “Bud” Spencer as coach of the track teams. The choice was a wise one as the track records of the 1932 track team bears out. In addition to the ch x sing of the various coaches the Board of Athletic Control handled the financial and athletic program of the university. Innior and Senior Stanagert: Fords. I'oss. Lt i v. C kr, Kino, Count rr. Doculms. Graduate Manager James Smyth and Assistant Graduate Manager Joseph Rock handled the details of the schedule making, signing of the coaches, and the numerous other duties of their offices. James Smyth succeeded John Whelan upon the latter’s resignation from the office early in the year. Reverend Father Albert Whelan, treasurer, as in the preceding year controlled the financial department of the institution. The University of San Francisco managerial staff made rapid strides during the past year. With the increase of the student body more students went out for managers, with the 169 Vndertlat Stun,men: I.iviv I hiiii, Shi kky. Iii vsk.w, Troiiui . Mi . .rv. Knitmi.

The senior managers that received sweaters this year were Tom Lundy, George King, Bernard Carr and Edward Murphy. These men in turn were assisted by junior managers, who for the hrst time received sweaters for their efforts. A gratifying influx of freshmen managers assured competent men for the future. GAMES COMMITTEE A little heard-of body, but nevertheless a hard working one, is the Games Committee. This group of students handles many of the tedious and routine tasks of the university. They attend to the seating arrangements of all the athletic contests, act as ushers at the games, and work hand in glove with the yell leaders in staging and securing entertainment for the rallies. This year the committee was headed by Robert Parker throughout the school year. Parker obtained local broadcasting of the plays at many games. YELL LEADERS 'The yell leader situation during the past year was unparalleled in the history of the school. Ernie Loustau was elected head yell leader at the regular fall election and a short time later two assistants were also named. Everything progressed as usual until the Christmas holidays. When school resumed after the yuletidc vacation it was found that only one yell leader had returned to school, namely Leo Murphy. Murphy, however, was equal to the occasion and led the yells alone throughout the entire spring semester. Precautions will be taken in the future to prevent a like situation occurring. .

The first and the largest was held just before the Santa Clara game and was put on by the freshmen as has been the custom in past years. The rally was held on the football field with some 2,000 from the high school and college in attendance. After talks by the alumni and Coach Chisholm some entertainers from the down-town theatres performed for the audience. Morry Amsterdam from the Warfield Theatre took the stage and held it, and how he held it; it appeared for a while that he was anchored there for the morning. He joketl and sang for the most part and was very amusing during the first part of his performance. Joaquin (iaray, from the Fox Theatre, next sang a few numbers, much to the delight of the assembled students. 1 le was recalled to the stage for numerous encores. The rally lasted about two hours and a half andjjroke up about noon. The next rally was held in the spring semester during the basketball season. It took place in the auditorium and consisted of a series of speeches by the various coaches. All of the coaches of both major and minor sports spoke. They urged the students to participate in the various activities and pointed out the benefits of such participation. Coach Lewis was the principal speaker and revealed some of his plans for spring practice. THE COLLEGE BAND An important event in the history of the music department during the past year was the organization on a permanent basis of the University Band. This musical group, so necessary to the success of all athletic events, was augmented to forty pieces. At the same time its appearance was greatly enhanced by the new uniforms with which it began the year. Brilliant green coats with gold trimmings and white trousers, make this uniform one of the most distinctive in the Bay region. During many of the football games of the season the band appeared in a number of especially designed marching combinations. Among these there is remembered the ensemble combination of the Band and the Glee Club at the Santa Clara vs. University of San Francisco football contest. Both uniformed organizations appeared in marching order, and when the individual rooting sections were reached the songs of each college were sung by the club, each member equipped with small megaphones, with the band in accompaniment. Regular rehearsal periods for the band were established for the entire scholastic year, some for the study of music other than the regular marching repertoire necessary for the majority of band appearances, and others for marching practice. I Larold A. Harper is director of the University Band. Drum Major is Merton Rosen. Steve Bovo is Band Manager. Director Harper intends to develop the organization so that, as the enrollment at the university increases, the band will grow proportionately. 172 Harold Harm . Director Grady, I'm vios.

During the sickness It Needles, “Rod handled the team with able success. COACH JAMES R. NEEDLES Although handicapped by illness the greater part of the season. Coach James R. Needles turned out a fighting varsity that climaxed a fine season w ith a triumphant win over the University of Santa Clara, the first in six years of competition between the two colleges. Jimmy Needles has the reputation of being a great defensive coach as the magnificent battles which his former varsity teams had made against superior odds, had won him, but this season the spectacular scoring of his varsity in defeating Nevada, De Paul, and Brigham Young Universities proved him to lx: a fine offensive coach as well. Ill health during the football season was climaxed by a complete nervous breakdown, which made it necessary for him to give up his position at the close of the year. CAPTAIN “BOB” KLECKNER For four years “Bob” Kleckncr lias been the mainstay of Don football teams, although when “Bob” first arrived, the varsity was playing under the old cognomen of the “Grey Fog.” During this time Kleckncr has received honorable mention on All American and All Coast teams. His team mates recognized his ability this season by electing hi m captain. Captain “Bob” was invincible in the last games of the season and his stellar playing won a place for him on the Shrine All West team, where he gained the acclaim of the newspapers as the finest defensive back on the held. Although at his greatest as a punter, Kleckncr was the most accurate passer on the team and the outstanding ball carrier. The tradition of his four years as the star of his college’s football team will remain fresh in the memory of all Ignatians. FOOTBALL MANAGER “TOM” LUNDY After three years as a manager ofU.S.F. athletic teams “Tom Lundy was chosen to succeed WAV liam Dillon as Senior Football Manager. During the past season Lundy directed the equipping of the football teams. Although the managers work harder than the players at times they get nothing hut more work for their efforts. For this reason Lundv and his cohorts demand a world of praise. Donadio start around right end t Brigham Young). U. S. F— 25, BRIGHAM YOUNG—0 Fifteen thousand people saw the Dons defeat the University of Brigham Young 25 to 0 in a night football game at the Seal Stadium, September 25th. '1 he Dons, after a slow start, showed these fifteen thousand a little of everything; generous power, deception, speed and a stubborn defense were all featured. For the first game of the season the Dons displayed plenty of potential scoring power. The score might have easily have mounted to 50 points, but ragged playing cost Coach Needles’ crew several touchdowns in the first half. A fighting Mormon line plus a generous contribution of fumbles kept the Dons from breaking into the scoring column during the first half, although they were constantly in Mormon territory. Brigham Young was in (irecn and Gold territory just once and then only to the 40 yard line. When the varsity came back on the field in the second half, they settled down to work and with Kleckncr and Warford bearing the brunt of the hall carrying, marched up the field to a touchdown. A few plays after this, Warford broke through right guard and dashed thirty yards to another six points for the Dons. Twenty-six first downs were rolled up by the varsity in addition to over 200 yards from scrimmage. Chisholm, Higuera and Oseske attracted favorable comment with their hard line play. Coach Needles tried out his two team idea with the result that almost everyone on the squad played. 178 « Fitzgerald jru! Corrigan nop Ganniizsi (Army). U. S. F—6, ARMY—6 An astonishing Army Mule played the Dons off their feet in the second game of the season to gain a 6 to 6 tie. The varsity played their worst game of the year while Coach McKenie’s squad played inspired football. The Dons’ poor showing was undoubtedly due to the fact that they had their eyes and minds on the St. Mary’s game. Individually the Dons played fighting football but the smooth working offense of the Brigham Young game was conspicuous by its absence. The Soldiers annexed nine first downs to the two collected by the Dons and if it had not been for several stirring goal line defenses the Soldiers would have scored a complete upset by winning the game. Corporal Gannuzzi, who would Ik a general if Army officers were chosen by their football ability, was the big gun in the Army offense. At the close of the first quarter Jack Gaddy intercepted a pass and ran 25 yards unmolested to a touchdown. In the second half the Soldiers kept smashing at the Don defense until Gannuzzi dove over from the two yard line to tie the game 6-6. Gilbert’s place kick for the Armv was wide of the goal and the Soldiers were forced to he content with a tie. Coach Needles’ inserted “Twinkle Toes” Donadioin the closing minutes of the game but poor interference nullified all efforts to break him into the open. Being almost purely a defensive game the work of the linesmen was the more outstanding. Gaddy, Higucra and Patterson starred. 179 Angel firoirlti flop War font aftei six yard gain (St. Mary' ). U. S. F.—6, ST. MARY’S—14 The dream of a year of the San Francisco University students was shattered yesterday at Kczar Stadium before a crowd of about 36,000, when St. Mary’s defeated San Francisco University, 14 to 6. The play was ragged but very spirited.—K. R. Hughes in the San Francisco Chronicle. This excerpt sums up the annual “Big Came” with St. Mary’s. The Gaels out-scored the Dons but they did not out-fight them. The game was a battle royal from the opening whistle until the final gun. To Lyn Warford goes the honor of scoring the first touchdown against St. Mary’s in six years of play. lust five plays after getting the hall Warford broke l x)se from the Gael forward wall and ran 24 yards to a touchdown.

Numerous fumbles marked the playing of both teams until late in the first period when the Gaels marched 47 yards to a touchdown. The try for point was pood and the Gaels were in the lead. 7 to 6. which was also the score at the half. Donadio replaced Warford in the second period and kent Madwan’s crew worried with his tricky ball carrying. Higucra dominated the field with his line-play while Donadio and Warford shared honors in the backficld. Donadio plunged the line like he weighed 200 instead of 140.

U.S.F.—6, LOYOLA—7 Tom Lieb’s fighting Loyola Lions scored a major football upset when they defeated the University of San Francisco 7 to 6 in Los Angeles the week after the St. Mary’s game. Coach Needles did not reach the southern city until late in the second quarter. 1 Ie was held up in San Francisco by a heavy fog that prevented him from flying down until Saturday afternoon. 1 Ie had remained in the city Friday night to scout the Santa Clara-Army game. The Dons were also handicapped by Captain Klcckner’s shoulder injury that prevented them from using a passing attack. Evidently reading of Warford’s prowess in the St. Mary’s game, the Lions kept the Don ace bottled up very effectively. I Xmadio took up where Warford left off however, and gave the crowd plenty of thrills with several sensational dashes into the open. One of these runs netted 52 yards and started the Dons on the way to their only touchdown. Both teams started the game cautiously and the first quarter passed without a score. In the following period Loyola started a march that gave them their score after five first downs in succession. Brubaker converted for the southern team. The Dons came right back with a drive of their own, scoring on Fitzgerald’s line-buck. Donadio’s pass for the extra point was knocked down by the alert Lion backs. Tom Lieb has made tremendous strides with Loyola during the past two years and they arc fast developing into a much feared aggregation. 18! Hignrra 15) xof, ,t„H„ under Chi holm's punt (Olympic Clnh). U. S. F.—7, OLYMPIC CLUB—7 In the coldest day of the football season a combination of substitutes and regulars played the highly touted Olympic Club off their feet to secure a 7 to 7 tie. The Dons were without their coach, as also was the Club. Both mentors were confined to sick beds with severe attacks of influenza. A dramatic touch was added to the game by the fact that the Green and Gold squad was told that Coach Needles was facing a crisis and a win would probably help his condition greatly. With Kleckner and Donadio on the sidelines nursing injuries, a patched up line-up almost put over the desired victory. Substitutes were numerous throughout the game and when the final gun sounded there was a line-up of second and third string men battling the experienced Club team. 'Fhe first score came with startling suddenness when 1 iuntley blocked an Olympic Club punt which rolled to the Club’s 12 yard line where Higuera fell on it. Fred Fitzgerald put the ball over with three drives into the center of the line. Brown added the extra point with a well placed kick. Warford, who took over Kleckner’s kicking duties kept the Clubmen well in their own territory with his consistent punting. . In the third quarter the Winged O scored a touchdown to tie. A cold, gusty wind cut the crowd down to the smallest of the year and sapped the vitality of the players. Many of the spectators left before the game was over despite its closeness, on account of the weather. I M2 UarforJ -rejigs info the open (Santa Clara). U. S. F—6, GONZAGA—21 Traveling to Spokane for their next game, the Dons met a frenzied Gonzaga Bulldog that had been pointing for them during the entire season. The aforementioned Bulldogs won the tilt 21 to 6. Captain Kleckncr did not make the trip due to injuries, which left the Dons without a forward passer or punter. Gonzaga displayed a varied and powerful offense that the varsity was unable to solve until the second half. Although the northern institution is a small one they produce formidable gridiron teams; two weeks before the Don game, Gonzaga played St. Mary’s off their feet and Slip Madigan’s Galloping Gaels were lucky to stagger off the field with a 13 to 7 victory. All of the Bulldog touchdowns came in the first half. Early in the first period Gonzaga gained on an exchange of kicks and Krause, Gonzaga fullback, crashed through the line for the first score. 1 Ie also converted. The next touchdown came when McKenna dropped back to punt but saw an opening around end and ran 35 yards to hang up six more points. Their try for the extra digit was blocked. Late in the second quarter a fumble by the Dons gave Gonzaga the ball on the four yard line and they quickly scored again with Cassesto carrying the ball. The dropkick was blocked. Half time saw Gonzaga on the long end of a 19 to 0 score. Lyle Brown took Klcckner’s place at left half and filled the position very capably. Hem-ovich and Fitzgerald starred on defense for varsity. 183 Klee {tier drives to the seven yard Lite (Sant.1 CLr.it. U. S. F.—7, SANTA CLARA—0 MOVE OVER, you Gaels, you Cards, and you Bears; make a place in the sun for the Fog.—'Thus wrote William Leiser in the San Francisco Examiner after the Dons (then the Gray Fog) had registered a 7 to 0 victory over Santa Clara. The traditional rivals bowed to the Dons for the first time in six years of competition on the gridiron. There was nothing lucky in the U. S. F. victory; the Broncos were clearly outplayed by a lighting Don Varsity led by a mighty juggernaut in the person of Captain Bob Klcckner. Kleckner, always a great defensive star, proved his offensive worth by piling up 119 yards from scrimmage against the powerful Santa Clara line. Coach Needles’ varsity started the game by marching right up the field to the Bronco’s goal line where they were stopped by a desperate defense. Santa Clara kicked out of danger but the Dons started right back up the field again on a new attack. They kept Clipper Smith’s crew in their own territory until late in the second period when a penalty gave the Dons a first down on the Bronco’s ll yard line. Kleckner and Warford moved the ball up to the 7 yard marker; it appeared that the attack was going to be stalled there, but Kleckner gave the ball to I Iemovich on a reverse and Mike moved it to the one yard line. With one play left Fitzgerald went into the game and crossed the last marker with a clean smash at right guard; Fitzgerald was replaced by Garrigan who kicked the goal and then left the game. 1X4 .1 revrrst ‘lain .irtiitnti riyht nui (Si. Shiry' I. U. S. F—40, NEVADA—7 Nevada proved no match for the reorganized I )on$ in the next encounter and were crushed to the tune of 40 to 7. The new found power of the (ireen and Gold crumpled tlie Wolfpack defense and smashed out six touchdowns during the sixty minutes of play. Neither California nor Stanford defeated Nevada as badly as did Coach Needles’ ram-paginggridironers. Captain Bob Kleckner scored four touchdowns and “Twinkle Toes” Donadio crossed the goal line with the other two tallies in addition to converting four of the scores. The Dons scored in every quarter except the second, and did not seem to lx- hindered in the least by a freezing wind that swept the turf. All of the touchdowns were of the sensational variety, being the results of long runs. Kleckner opened the holocaust early in the first quarter with a smash of 23 yards through right guard; Donadio converted. Two minutes later Donadio dashed S3 yards through the bewildered Nevada team to register six more points and a conversion. Four minutes after this Kleckner intercepted a pass and ambled 50 yards to the goal line; 1 )onadio again made the extra point good. This en ! :d the scoring for the first half. Many of the long runs by Donadio and Kleckner were due to the excellent interference running of Jack 1 Japps at guard. Ososke and Higuera kept the Wolves well controlled with their fine tackling. Kleckner optnt a hoU lor War ford I Dr Paul). U. S. F.—38, De PAUL—7 The Dons continued their steam roller tactics the following week-end by swamping l)e Paul University of Chicago under a 38 to 7 score. The game was a repetition of the Nevada debauch with Kleckner and Donadio running wild. A close game had been expected, as De Paul was reputed to Ik stronger than in the preceding year when the varsity had beaten them by two touchdowns after a hard battle, but the Dons were in top form and rolled up tremendous yardage almost at will. De Paul also displayed a good offensive but the Green and Gold defense held whenever a score threatened. Letlow, at tackle for the Dons, played a sterling game on defense, and his ball hounding was one of the features of the game. Kleckner, Warford, Donadio and Mc-Stockcr did most of the ball carrying behind the excellent blocking of Garrigan of the Dons. Matt Steffen was the shining light in the De Paul offense with his spectacular broken field running. The game was just ten minutes old when Kleckner climaxed a 60 yard march by crossing the goal line standing up. The try for point failed. Kleckner, Donadio, and War-ford alternated with the ball carrying in the second period and drove 70 yards to a touchdown with Warford adding the extra point. Just before the close of the half a long De Paul pass put the visitors in scoring position and Steffen put the ball over with a seven yard run. He also converted to make the score 13 to 7 at the end of the half. 186 v (i v I (I � ( I 0 Glenn Brou n n ail for the hall (St. Mary'11. U. S. F—14, HONOLULU—18 Like many other visiting teams before them, the Dons were beaten 14 to 18 in a weird night game at Honolulu by the University of Hawaii. The game was hard fought throughout, although Coach Needles’ crew out-gained the Roaring Rainbows by a considerable margin. The Hawaiians play slightly different than do the teams here in the states. One of their rules being that any eligible pass receiver may be clipped down after they pass the line of scrimmage. Many teams go to the islands with wonderful records but they have to Ik- at their best to down the Rainbows, which is difficult to do after the long sea voyage. On the opening kick-off of the game Captain Bob Kleckner dashed 92 yards up the field for a touchdown, which was converted. Several more short marches were stopped by the Rainbows but it apjxrared that the varsity would be able to gain at will, 'fen minutes of the game had passed away when a costly fumble on the four yard line gave Hawaii a chance to score which they capitalized on. Hardly two minutes had passed when the Dons again fumbled within the 10 yard line and presented the Rainbows with another score. In the second quarter Kleckner and Warford carried the ball 60 yards up the field with Warford going over for the touchdown. A line buck secured the extra point. The score was 14 to 12 at the half, but starting the second half, a long pass and a penalty gave Hawaii a touchdown. For the rest of the game the Dons were unable to score. Ilisniv. (i. Hrows. Oahdv.

Under the capable leadership of Coaches George Malley and John O’Marie the frosh gave a good account of themselves in all their contests. The powerful Oakland Athletic Club were the first victims of the aspiring young Dons as they were sent back across the bay on the short end of a 19 to 0 score. The surprise of the game was the playing of Larry Seimering, the center. Seimering ripped huge holes in the Oakland defense. McStockcr, Condray and Gutheric accounted for the yearlings’ touchdowns with McCann converting one of them. Power, speed and deception were featured in their next clash when they rolled over the West Coast Army Reserves to the tune of 50 to 0. Condray scored three touchdowns, Gutheric and Little crossed the goal line once apiece. Capable third and fourth teams pushed over three tallies in the final half. Rated the under-dogs in their next game with San Mateo Junior College, the yearlings kicked over the dope bucket and walked off the field with a 13 to 0 victory. Condray broke through right tackle for the first score after a 35 yard dash. The next tally came as the result of a blocked punt by Seimering, which rolled over the goal line and was recovered by U. S. F. McCann converted with a place kick. Pacneu, Little, Seimering and Condray stood out with their playing for the yearlings. San Mateo later won the Junior College championship. George Malley, former Santa Clara All-Coast end and lately Head Coach at St. Ignatius High School, deserves considerable credit for his work with this year’s freshman squad. He and John O’Marie, former U. S. F. All-Coast center, developed the frosh into an aggregation able to give even the varsity a strong tussle. Noted for his ability to arouse his men to fighting pitch, Malley so inspired the team that in the St. Mary’s game they scored six touchdowns, four of which were recalled, for violation of rules. 190 • IIvpi, (khorihc, Bariur, Tudor, Ecan, Hav.

Next came the climax of the yearling season, their battle with the St. Mary’s freshmen. The game was played in Moraga valley, which was much to the young Gaels advantage, for many and sundry reasons. After outplaying and out-fighting the Gael frosh team, the Dons lost, 13 to 12, due to two prayerful passes. The Dons rolled up IK first downs to the 2 that St. Mary’s collected. Condray and McStocker scored the two Don touchdowns on line plunges. The Gael scores came in the last two minutes of play on long passes from Gerncr to O’Donnell. The Dons crossed the Gael goal line four more times but were recalled by the referee’s whistle and penalized for alleged infractions of the rules. Condray, Clark Smith and McStocker were the offensive stars for the Dons. The last game of the season was against the Santa Clara frosh. The Dons again outgained their opponents but dropped a 6 to 0 decision. The game was much closer than the St. Mary’s game and both teams revealed themselves as strong defensively. The lone touchdown of the game came as the result of a pass that McStocker knocked down, into the hands of a Bronco end that was lying flat on his back on the turf. The timekeeper’s gun cut short two opportunities for the Dons to score. At the end of the half and at the end of the game the yearlings had the ball deep in Santa Clara territory. The first down count of this game was 13 to 5 with the Dons on the long end. Guthcrie, Stone and Buckner featured with their stellar playing. l'he Dons scored 94 points in five games while holding their opponents to 19 digits. At the opening of spring practice inter-varsity football games were instituted by Coach Lewis. It was interesting to note that in the line-ups for these games twenty-five per cent of the players were members of last year’s frosh. While it cannot Ik- hoped that this number will lx- playing regularly on the varsity next fall, it makes it almost certain that one or two sophomores will be playing varsity football next September. y ( 11 x y 191 THE YEAR AHEAD IN the fall of 1926 a heterogeneous group of players from the day and evening classes of old St. Ignatius College, practicing an hour each evening under the floodlights of the ungraded Ignatian held, made up the unknown, non-conference varsity football team of the future University of San Francisco. Two seasons later, in 1928, that little squad had developed into the second strongest team in the Far Western Conference, runners-up only to the (ireat St. Mary's, the champions. The season following, in 1929, Little St. Ignatius (at least they now had a name) fought the Great Undefeated St. Mary’s to a standstill and lost only when Great St. Mary’s All-American Ackerman intercepted a pass to give that Great Bewildered St. Mary’s Varsity a God-sent six point victory. In 1930, playing their first intersectional game against De Paul University of Chicago, they won by thirteen clean-cut points and gained the somewhat greater honor of breaking into the famous I immy Hatlo sport cartoons. In 1931, besides scoring on the Great Undefeated St. Mary’s, they displayed the amazing ability of scoring over 100 points in three games. No longer were they Little St. Ignatius, but the up-and-coming S. F. U.—San Francisco’s University. At the end of 1931 many changes came to pass—Coach Jimmy Needles was required to withdraw from the leadership of the football team; the cognomen Gray Fog was abandoned and the new Dons substituted; Stanford University was scheduled for a San Francisco game in 1932; and lastly, a new coaching system was instituted. Lawrence Lewis, formerly “Pop” Warner’s best quarterback and lately Head Back field Coach at Northwestern University, the arch rivals of mighty Notre Dame, signed a three year contract as Head Coach of the University of San Francisco football team. Working under Northwestern Coach Dick Hanley, Lewis developed five All-Conference backs during his three years there, and two All-Americans. During the coming season his teams will play a combination of the Warner and Hanley styles, which, however, will lx an imitation of neither but a new system built upon the experience gleaned from both. As assistant to Lewis and Head Line Coach will lx- 235 pound Dallas Marvil, 1931 All-American tackle from Northwestern. Marvil, playing here in the East-West game as the East’s foremost linesman, so impressed the authorities that Lewis’ recommendation was scarcely necessary. Marvil will join Lewis at the beginning of the fall semester, not yet having concluded his studies at Northwestern. To assist Lewis during the spring, Northwestern Coach Hanley very kindly sent his own Head Line Coach, Tom Stidham, to the University, keeping Marvil to handle the line coaching position and, incidentally, to gain experience to help him with his work in the fall. Stidham played his football with the Haskell Indians, where he won honors as an All-American. The year ahead depends greatly on Lawrence Lewis. He has had the experience, and from the quiet and efficient way in which he handles his men he has also the ability to turn out a football team of which the student body may lx proud. Let his teams make a creditable showing and the student body and alumni will be satisfied—but if he would earn our undying and eternal gratitude, let him do only one tiling—Defeat That Great St. Mary’s. HEAD FOOTBALL COACH LAWRENCE LEWIS SPRING LINE COACH TOM STIDHAM Quarterback, St a n ford University, 1926, 1927, 1928 Varsity Hack field Coach, Northwestern U., ’29-’30- 31 Head Coach, University of San Francisco, 1932 Head Line Coach, Northwestern U., 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931 193 B A S K E T B A L L THE COACHING SITUATION Facing the approaching basketball season with Coach Jimmy Needles absent in Hawaii, the 1932 Don varsity found it necessary to begin practice under the mentorship of Freshman Coach John O’Marie. O’Marie, himself an exponent of the Needles system, was expected to develop the team to a point where Coach Needles, on his return, could immediately set about correlating the principles which O’Marie had instilled, into an efficient team. The difficulties which surrounded Needles’ return—his illness, his giving up of the football coaching position—made it uncertain as to who would carry the team through the season. Coach O’Marie was unable to do so owing to the fact that his freshman squad was facing an exceptionally hard season. Nevertheless O’Marie opened the varsity season, taking the San Jose Golds into camp by a good score. Coach Needles returned in time for the Stanford game, which we lost by one point. The Monday following it was announced that Coach Needles had also resigned this position; Wednesday, Phil Morrissey, former varsity star and at present a practicing attorney, took charge of the team. Under the direction of Morrissey the team completed a satisfying if not overly successful season. California and St. Mary’s were decisively defeated; the Y. M. I. and the Rossi Florists, outstanding club teams, were overcome. Inasmuch as this was Morrissey’s first season as a basketball coach, little more could be expected of him. He came to the University at a time when his alma mater greatly needed his services. His unselfishness in giving up his time to the assistance of the college will always be remembered with gratitude. CAPTAIN “BOB” KLECKNER Bob Kleckner has the distinction of being the only man in the history of the college to hold the captaincy of three major sports. In his junior year, captain of the varsity track team, and in the first semester of his senior year, captain of the football team, he, in the last semester of his career at the university achieved this singular honor by being elected captain of the basketball team. Steady, reliable and able. Captain Bob proved himself a competent director of his teammates. 1% CoRIM.TT. WnK.IIT. Kl 1)1, CfADDY. Mull . Kl l KM . MiCaRTIIY, II WIN, KlNt'.; Jon is, Chamrhm, Nviuum. Own, I.uiii. Kincannon. THE VARSITY SQUAD Frequent changes in the coaching stall made this basketball season one of the most erratic in the history of the school. At times the varsity played championship basketball and appeared unbeatable, hut they fell into frequent slumps and were beaten by inferior teams at other times during the season. During the early training season Coach Needles was in charge; upon his retirement the team was instructed for a period of time by John O’Marie. O’Marie was succeeded by Coach Phil Morrissey who took charge for the rest of the season. The highlights of the season for the Dons were their victories over the University of California and the Y. M. 1. The Dons played their best basketball of the season in the game against the Y. M. I. The squad as a whole was composed of sophomores from the previous year’s undefeated freshman team; there was also a generous sprinkling of veteran varsity men. There were no individual stars on the team, with the possible exception of “Happy” Chambers. This diminutive sophomore forward was high scorer of the season with 92 jx)ints, and he also played a sensational floor game. “Big John Mohr, another sophomore, and Roy Oxsen tied for second place in scoring honors with 55 points apiece. Mohr stands 6 feet 5 inches and uses his height to advantage in jumping center; it was his spectacular field goals that cinched the California game for the Dons. Botmale and Keefe at guards were two other sophomores who broke into the line-up regularly. Klcck-ner, Lucicr and Oxsen were the outstanding veterans on the team. Oxsen was noted for his hard playing and fight, Lucicr for his accurate shooting, and Kleckner for his dependability in coming through with points when they were most needed. ) I I � (i I I 9 19 McCarthy Kt II I: LfCII H THE SEASON The Dons had little trouble in winning their opening game of the season from the San Jose Golds by a 32 to 14 score. Coach Needles used a two team idea and it worked to perfection. The Golds did not threaten at any time during the game. “Happy” Chambers led the scoring with 15 points. Wright and Botmale showed up well on defense. The next game, with Stanford, was Needles’ last with the Dons, and the varsity lost a heart-breaker to Stanford by one point, 26 to 27. The game was fast and furious throughout with the lead constantly changing hands. At the end of the first half the score was 15 to 14 in favor of the Cards. In the second half Stanford found the hoop in the early stages of the period to gain a 25 to 16 lead, but the Dons staged a spectacular rally that tied the game up 25 to 25 with but two minutes to go. A couple of foul shots put Stanford in the lead 27 to 25, and a foul shot by Chambers made the count 26 to 27, which is how it ended. Just as the gun went off a pass to an unguarded Don made victory seem very uncertain for the Cards, but the game ended before he had time to shoot. Oxsen and Botmale starred for the Dons. Smarting under their one point defeat the Dons overwhelmed Oregon State team in their next encounter, 40 to 28. After being held even in the hrst half, the Dons stepped out and ran away from the Staters in the final period. Gaddy and Botmale were high point men with 12 and 11 points respectively. John O'Marie handled the team. The Dons beat the Rossi Florists three days later in the last minute of play, 23 to 21, on a field goal by Captain Kleckner. The varsity trailed during most of the game and it wasn’t until the final minutes that Britt tied the score with a long shot, 21 to 21. Klcckner’s two points came after a long dribble from mid-court. Captain “Bob” was also high man with 7 digits. The game marked Morrissey’s debut as Don mentor. 198 Vwcinr Nuubaum Moiik Another North Beach team was beaten in the next start by the Dons when they fought their way to a 33 to 25 win over the U. S. I. V. For the greater part of the game the varsity played ragged basketball but led by Mohr and Chambers they came through brilliantly in the closing minutes to take a commanding lead. At half time the score favored the collegians 12 to 9. Mohr and Chambers were tied for high point honors with 6 points apiece. The Dons played their Iksi basketball of the season to defeat the highly touted Y. M. I. team 31 to 28 in an overtime tilt. Undefeated in local casaba circles until they met the Dons, the Y. M. I. were top-heavy favorites to win. The Dons played almost perfect basketball that night with a smooth working offense and an air-tight defense. The Y. M. I. trailed the fast moving collegians throughout almost the entire game and only succeeded in ticing the score almost at the end of the game. Neither team had many scoring opportunities but what few they had the Dons made good. Nussbaum’s long shots were the feature of the game. All of them were made from well out on the floor. After ticing the score the Y. M. I. almost won out when Leahy sunk a long one from center court just as the gun went off, but the officials ruled that he shot after the gun and ordered an extra session. Gaddy, Botmale and Chambers tossed in baskets in the final five minutes to cinch the game. Kleckncr and Mohr shared defensive honors while Nussbaum was high point man with 8 points. Prosperity was too much for the Dons and they fell into a slump in the next two games and dropped one to Santa Clara by a 20 to 10 score and another to the Olympic Club, 2 1 to 14. No one would have recognized the team as the same that defeated the Y. M. I. Chambers led the scorers in the Olympic Club game with 6 points and Oxsen garnered a lonely 3 |x ints in the Santa Clara game to lead the Dons. Snapping out of their slump with a bang, the Dons returned to form and trounced the University of California 21 to 17. The game was very fast and very rough with both sides playing hard, fighting basketball. The varsity did not play as well as they did against the Y. M. I. 199 Oxtts liATMAI.r. JONL but they did play well enough to give the Golden Bears more than they could handle. Keefe was the star on defense and Mohr on offense. Keefe broke up the Bear attack time after time while Mohr consistently outjumped the California pivot men and was high point man with 7 points. His long shots in the end of the game gave the Dons their winning margin. The annual St. Mary’s series proved to lx as usual just a breeze for the Dons and the varsity took all three games. The Dons have now won thirteen straight games from the Gallopless Gaels and the Moragans have not won a series from U. S. F. since 1VI7. 'I bis year the usual procedure was changed slightly and the Dons won three instead of the usual two. The scores were 28-17, 33-30 and 35-27. Lucier was high man in the first game with 10 points, Oxsen in the second with 11, and Chambers in the third with 11. In the meantime Harlan Dyke’s Broncos beat the varsity 29 to 21 to cop the series in two games. This is the first time that either Santa Clara or U. S. F. have failed to go to the third game for a good many years. The game was close until the final minutes when Slavich went on a scoring rampage and sank half a dozen baskets. Oxsen took high jx int honors for the Dons with 8 points. The Athens Club eked out a 36 to 32 victory over the Dons in an extra period contest. At one time during 'the game U. S. F. led by 11 to 0, but a deluge of Athens’ baskets finally caught up with the Dons and tied the game up 30 to 30 as the gun went off. Kopkc dropped three shots through the net in the extra period and the Athens emerged the victors. In the last two games of the season Nevada, Far Western champs, invaded the Don’s stronghold and left on the short end of both games. The Dons won the first, 23 to 15, and had the Wolfpack completely confused with their style of play. Kleckner st x d out both on offense and defense. He tied with Chambers for high point honors with 6 points. The second game was a replica of the first, this time the score was 20 to 15.

THE 1932 FROSH As usual the Don’s 1932 freshmen basketball team was one of the most formidable on the coast. John O’Marie coached the team for his second straight year. Without a doubt the University of San Francisco frosh basketball teams have the best three year record of any on the coast. During the past three years just nine games have been lost by the yearling teams out of some fifty played. l;ive of these were lost this year but these losses were offset by some notable victories. The first six games played were with the more jxiwerful high school teams of the bay district; five of these were won and one lost. St. Ignatius was the first and they fell by a 31 to 18 count. Bob Albcr was the scoring star of the frosh with 15 points. Sacred Heart were met and conquered by a 33 to 17 score, with Alber, Morgan and Murphy sharing scoring honors. Lowell 1 ligh, city champions and conquerors of the Cal frosh, were subdued to the tune of 18 to 16 in a hard fought game. Peterson sUxmJ out on defense for the babes. Mission offered little opposition and were defeated 36 to 20; Scollin and Murphy tied for high point honors with 10 points apiece. The yearlings next knocked off Sequoia by a 28 to 17 score. B. Bradley played stellar ball at guard for the Dons. The lone loss came at the hands of Polytechnic High who caught the young Dons on an off night and won 36 to 32 in an overtime game. The Dons met two club teams in their regular season and defeated them both; the Shopping News 22 to 13 and the Athens Club ’45s 39 to 23. Murphy, Armistcad, McCann and Scollin shone for the frosh in these tilts. 202 THE FROSH SEASON The frosh played their best basketball of the season against the California babes and emerged on the long end of a 29 to 27 score. Both teams were at their best and the lead constantly changed hands during the contest. No more than three points separated the two teams at any stage of the game. Scollin was high point man with 13 points. Albers and Horgan also played well for the Dons. Another California quintet was disposed of a few nights later when the frosh put on their scoring gloves and defeated the California Pharmacists by a 40 to 19 score. Joe Judge starred on defense for the babes. Every man on the squad got in the game at one time or another. The Stanford frosh proved no match for the Dons and were defeated 28 to 13. Albers and Horgan scored a majority of the points although every man on the squad again got in the game. The St. Mary’s frosh proved more powerful than usual and it took the Dons three games to win the series. The first was won 24 to 22 after a see-saw battle. The second was played at Mo-raga and the young Gaels won by an 11 point margin. In the third meeting the Dons gained another 2 point victory, 28 to 26, and walked off with the series. McCann, Bradley and Armistcad were the deciding factors in the Don victories. Fruhmav Coach John O'Mhii Known as a football star rather than a basketball man in his college days, John O’Marie has had almost phenomenal success in coaching the lower division basketball teams. Although he found it necessary to coach the varsity as well during the early part of the season, his men were soon rounded into form. In the two years he has been coaching, the Frosh have won 30 games despite the fact that each year they were contestants in the P. A. A., a competition acknowlcdgcdly out of their class. O'Maric's success has been a revelation to the authorities. Admitted to be the best football center ever to wear the Green and Gold, he was not expected to develop more than ordinary freshman teams. The results of his work arc consequently more than gratifying. Just before the yearlings entered the P. A. A. they played Balboa High and won 23 to 9 without any trouble. Every man on the squad saw action in the game. As usual the Don babes entered the P. A. A. tourney with the major club teams. In the first game the babes drew the Sacramento Y. M. I. for their opponents and succeeded in knocking off the visitors with a 40 to 27 score. Albers was high point man of the contest. In the second round the frosh met the Rossi Florists who eked out a 23 to 20 victory. Albers was again high point man for the Dons. It was the general opinion of the spectators that if the officials had been a little less partial to the florists, the result might have been different. 20? . o T H E R S P o R T S COACH CHARLEY HUNTER The University of San Francisco was fortunate this year in securing the services of Charley Hunter as track coach. Coach Hunter has tutored the Olympic Club for many years and is known as one of the best cinder path coaches on the coast. His winning smile and likeable personality has made him a favorite with the Donmen. The Don track team under Hunter this year is the best in the history of the school and it seems safe to predict that within a short time they will be ranked with the best on the coast. The remarkable success of the underclassmen on the squad augurs well for the success of future teams. CAPTAIN RALPH MONTAGUE Captain Ralph Montague is the star of the Don track team. He is ranked with the best sprinters on the coast and has beaten many of them. This is Montague’s second year as Captain of the team, having been co-captain with Bob Kleckncr in 1931. Montague is considered to have an excellent chance to make the Olympic team this summer and represent the U. S. at Los Angeles, he already having a record of 9.7 in the 100. 206 Tkoodim. Knowles.

The third meet of the season saw the combined teams of the bay district junior colleges invade the Don’s lair. The Dons had little or no trouble in trouncing the junior college crew 95 to 27. The only first place taken by the opposition was in the 440, where Menlo made a clean sweep. The outstanding performance of the day was Bob Klcck-ncr’s heave of 50 feet 2Vi inches in the shotput. Klcckner’s toss put him among the leading shotputters of the country. I le also won the discus with a throw of 145 feet 9 inches. The other double winner of the day was Captain Montague with twin victories in the dashes. Montague’s time in the 220 was exceptional; 21.6 seconds is good time on the best of tracks, let alone one with a turn. The Dons scored clean sweeps in the 100, lx� th hurdle races, 880 and pole vault. Libby and Wright ran sensational races in the hurdles and after a slow start loomed as a formidable team of timber toppers. Jones ran his best time of the season to win in the half mile with Knowles and Dobbs close behind.

TRACK Captain Montague has gradually improved during the past four years until now he stands as one of the best sprinters on the coast, which is practically saying the best in the nation, as the coast abounds with good sprinters. Montague in years past has appeared at his best in the 100 but this year he has turned in exceptional times in the 220 as well. His best time in the 100 is 9.7 seconds, made two seasons ago. He has started slowly this year and by the time the big meet rolls around he will be in top form. At the time this lxx)k goes to press the Dons have not had any meets of! their home track and the I lilltop track is not noted for its fastness. 'Hie sprinters are csjk -cially handicapjxrd in the 220 where they have to run around a turn at the start of the race. Montague turned in one of his best performances in the Stanford-Olympic Gluhih S. F. meet, when he won the 100 in 9.7 and the 220 in 21.4. The fact that he was suffering from a cold made his time the more remarkable. “Big Bob” Kleckner appears to be headed for the best year in his career in the weights. For several years he has been threatening to jump into the championship class and with the added incentive of the Olympic Games before him he is fast becoming the most formidable weight man on the coast. His best performance to date has been a toss of over 50 feet in the shot and 149 feet in the discus. The men who are capable of throwing over 50 feet in the shot in U. S. can Ik- counted on the fingers of one-hand as can the ones that toss the discus over 150. Coach Charley Hunter has predicted that Kleckner will throw the shot over 52 feet before the season is over, which is close to the world record. With a few more weeks of training “Big Bob” may garner 10 points for the Dons in the inter-collegiates in addition to making the Olympic Games team. 210 Mi � v. (•okhm'K, Oincd. Ci i ,« s. I’oMimvi .

As in years past the freshmen competed with the varsity in the meet where the opposing colleges did not have any three year rulings. They held only one meet as a separate team and that with Lowell I Iigh School. The preps failed to furnish much competition for the Dons and the yearlings took every first place except the high jump. Some of the outstanding performers for the frosh were Pringle, Abbot, Stith, Walts and Clark Smith. Pringle, a sprinter from Oakland, looks to Ik capable of taking Montague’s shoes next year in the sprints. 1 lis best race is the 220, and with a little more experience will develop into a crack dash man. Stith and Walts, Ring transfers, did not compete in most of the meets but have wonderful records. Walts competed for the Olympic Club and won the 440 against Stanford in 49.9 seconds. Stith has a mark of 24 flat in the low hurdles and has tremendous possibilities. He is also a sprinter capable of better than 10 flat in the 100. Clark Smith is the star of the freshmen team and is one of the best yearling weight men in California. While competing with Paso Robles High School he placed high in the state meets and holds victories over Theodoratis, the great Sacramento weight man. I le has been second to Kleckncr in the discus most every time out this year, tossing the discus 140 feet and the shot 43 feet. Another weight man is Schmidt, a transfer, who has a mark of 145 feet in the discus and better than 40 feet in the shot. (iorbeck handles the distance runs of the frosh and divides his time l)etween football and track. With the experience these men get this year they will add considerable points to the Dons teams of the future. 211 COACH “GENE” VALLA Coach Gene Valla has long been in the public eye on the baseball held. He was first known as a player with the San Francisco Seals and later with Hollywood in the Coast League. After his retirement from the Coast League he managed the Santa Cruz State League ball team and he still retains this position. This year is Valla’s second as a coach at S. F. U. With his long years as a player and manager, Valla is able to make the best use possible of the material he has at hand. Despite the fact that his teams have not been successful, every confidence is had in his ability to produce a team in the near future which will lead the Conference. The success of the 1(H2 Freshman squad, which has not lost a game, shows this to be nearer a reality than we may think. CAPTAIN “JOHNNY” HARRISON Captain Johnny 1 Iarrison proved himself to be an inspiring leader to the Dons this season. Harrison is a cool, steady player and can lx depended on to play brilliant ball no matter what the situation may lx . The choice of 1 Iarrison as a leader was a happy one as he was the steadying influence needed to round out an otherwise inexperienced infield. Captain I Iarrison has caught the eye of a prominent Coast League owner who sees in him a potentially great player. 212 Fom, O'DaV. TlloMI'AON, I I A;l.l III KM. OaDOY. Kll l � , llll'KV. CoON.

THE 1932 VARSITY “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” is an old saying that applies to many things. It also applies to baseball teams, especially college baseball teams. The Dons found this out in this, their second year in the Pacific Coast Conference. It was first thought a year ago, when the Dons t x)k up the horsehide sport again, that in a short while the Dons would s x)n enjoy their old enviable place in the baseball sun, hut it was found that it takes time and patience to build a hall team and that it will take a couple of more seasons yet before the varsity heads the conference. Long before the basketball season was well over Coach Valla gathered his horse-hide chasers together and started to whip them into shape for the coming pennant chase. A small group of veterans greeted him in addition to an equally small group of sophomores from last year’s freshman team. The department that should Ik the strongest in college baseball was the weakest on the Don team. We are referring to the pitching staff. From last year’s crew Valla salvaged just one winning pitcher, Tom Preston. Preston was forced to start most of the games this year and consequently did not prove as effective as he has been in past years. Hazelhurst and I luntley provided capable relief at times but were handicapped by illness and inexperience. During the practice season the Dons played many games with local semi-pro teams with fair success. McArdle was the outstanding Don player in these games. I lis fine catching and timely hitting made him the most valuable player on the team. Kincan-non, a sophomore, won his spurs as a varsity player with his sensational fielding. Kin-cannon and Harrison developed into a fine double play combination. 211 214 THE SEASON The Dons started their conference season with the annual trek to the southland where they met U. S. C. and U. C. L. A. in four games.

Buckner won his title at Sacramento in the Coast Inter-Collegiates with teams from Stanford, U. S. C., California, U. C. L. A., Washington, Washington State, Oregon, California Aggies and Oregon State competing. Although the University of San Francisco finished well up among the leaders, their points were not counted as the Dons are not regularly accepted members of the conference as yet. Meehan won his titles at Dreamland Auditorium where he competed against the best amateurs in the state. Another boxer who competed in both the Inter-Collegiates and the P.A.A. tourney was George Paiva, welterweight. Paiva survived the early rounds in both meets. Clinton Letlow, heavyweight, is another of Malley’s products that shows lots of promise. All of the forementioned boxers are either sophomores or freshmen and undoubtedly will show even more improvement. In the inter-class matches the Sophomores won team honors with the Freshmen second, which argues well for a powerful team in the future. 216 I I LETLOW Heavy Weight’ MACKENZIE Lightweight NESBITT Light- Weight ROBERTS Wei ter Weight- FERRARI Middleweight JACOBS HeavyWeight PAIVA Welter Weight FLYNN Welterweight 217 COACH FRANK ZANAZZI Coach Frank Zanazzi won the acclaim of the soccer fans this year with his wonderful showing with the newly organized Don soccer squad. Starting the season with green material for the most part, Zanazzi whipped them into the most formidable soccer combination on the coast. Coach Zanazzi is a former player of international fame in Europe where he was active for many years. In addition to being a master of the technicalities of soccer, he possesses a likable personality that plays no small part in his success. I Ie is highly popular with his players and the fans, a fact which his European reputation has greatly helped to enhance. CAPTAIN ARNOWITZ Captain 1. Arnowitz also learned his soccer in England and coast fans have agreed that he is without an equal in inter-collegiate soccer circles. Although Arnowitz is only a sophomore, his splendid playing and competent leadership led to his election as captain. The next soccer season looms bright with Arnowitz at the helm. Captain Arnowitz believes that the 1932 soccer team will be without peer in the conference, and that the end of the season will see the U. S. F. soccer team Pacific Coast champions. 218 1931 SOCCER CHAMPIONS Conceded but a slight chance in the Pacific Coast Soccer League at the start of the season, the Dons fought their way into a tie for the championship. This was the first season for the Dons in the inter-collegiate league as they were not admitted to the conference until the conclusion of the 1930 season. Due to the lateness of the season the championship was not played of! and the Dons and Stanford University were named co-champions of the league. The Stanford team was composed of veterans and it was only the superior fight of the Dons that offset their inexperience. All credit for the fine performance of the team goes to G ach Frank Zanazzi and Captain I. Arnowitz. Coach Zanazzi is a former English soccer player and has played on the finest teams in his native land. 1 lis broad knowledge of the game, combined with his likeable personality, makes him the foremost soccer coach on the coast. In this, his first year at the university, he has put soccer on a par with boxing as head of the minor sports. Captain Arnowitz also learned his football in England, and authorities agreed that he was without a peer on the coast. When Coach Zanazzi called the squad together in the fall he was greeted with a small turnout of 18 men, three freshmen, seven sophomores, six juniors, and two seniors. Undaunted by the turnout G ach Zanazzi set to work and started to build them into a unit. As the practice season progressed the team showed more and more form until conference season started. They played seven practice games and won six, ticing one. Zawazi (standing), Riwoe. Ijrry. Lohmilliju Leonard (standing); Tot's. ZviKitKit, Bazzano, V. Harvey, Barron; llrciiis, E. Harviy, l« t .

Dave Isola scored the winning goal. over their stage fright in the second half and scored twice but were unable to tie. California later forfeited the game because they had used an ineligible player. In the second game of the series the Bears again used an ineligible player and had to forfeit a 1 to 1 tie game. U. S. F. 0 Stanford 0 Both teams played defensive soccer. Dave Isola netted a goal for the Dons but it was declared illegal. U. S. F. 2 San Mateo 1 With a tic for the championship at stake the Dons played one of their best games of the season and again nosed out the San Mateo Junior College by a 2 to 1 score. The game was extremely fast and rough. Penalties and injuries were frequent. U. S. F. 1 Stanford 1 Late in the season the Dons and the Cardinals again met with the championship of the league at stake. Mearin, of Stanford, scored for the Cardinals in the first period. The half ended with the Cardinals in the lead. After half time the Dons stormed the Card goal until Hughes tied the score with a nice angle shot. Despite the efforts of both teams the game ended in a tie. The league declared Stanford and the Univer- flly m Francisco co-champions of the league. At a meeting directly after the Stanford game, the coaches of the conference picked an All-Conference team. Captain Arno-witz and Herb Lohmiller made the first team and Sam Wicklow, Ed Libby, Dave Isola, and Harry Hughes made the second team.

VARSITY TENNIS Tennis is the oldest of the minor sports at the University of San Francisco and in this, the fourth year of tennis, the Dons have undertaken a very ambitious schedule. As the Ignatian goes to press the Dons have had just one match, that with California. The experienced Golden Hear squad defeated the Dons 9 to 0. The defeat is not as bad as it sounds, however, as the University of California squad ranks with the best on the coast. The results are as follows: Hyde (Cal.) df. Cummings (S.F.) 60, 6-0.

FRESHMAN TENNIS Along with the powerful freshmen football, baseball and track squads the University of San Francisco yearling tennis team bids fair to furnish valuable material to the varsity teams. The frosli have engaged in two matches as the Ignatian goes to press and have lost one by 2 points and won the other by a top heavy score. The frosh started the season by meeting St. Ignatius High School, state prep school champions; they lost this match by a 4 to 2 count. Results: Charles Hunt (S.I.) df. Jack Guilbcrt (F.) 6-1,64). Owen McKuskcr (S.I.) df. Jack Lange (F.) 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Morel Kalisky (F.) df. Ward (S.I.) 6-2, 3-6. 6-3. Frank McHugh (S.I.) df. Galo Du Gand (F.) 6-4, 9-7. Doubles I hint and McKluskcr (S.I.) df.

The second match of the season was against Mountain View and the frosh emerged the victors, 5 to 1. In their second match the frosh showed a great improvement. Ik-fore the season is over the frosh will meet with several by section junior colleges in addition to the first year teams of California, St. Mary’s and Stanford.
