The editors of the Belle Air hope that the 1946 edition will be published some months after the completion of victorious battle in the Asiatic Theatre, and the end of world-wide war. Villanova men, the record of whose memory is contained in previous edi- tions of the Belle Air, have contributed their share toward the victory in Europe; they have contributed and will contribute to the end, their share toward the Asiatic victory. The record of this Belle Air differs little from that of its predecessor. Villa- novans who have fought up till now—and Villanovans who have died - experienced all the phases of college life pictured within. The Villanovans whose college life is mirrored in these pages will take the place in the ranks of those who preceded them and carry out a great Villanova tradition—that of the clear thinking, straight acting, Christian gentleman, fighting now for final victory. - ___________ The following pages represent an attempt to recreate in the minds of all Villanovans the scenes and phases of college life which will best serve to jeturn them, in spirit, to their Alma Mater, and what it stands for. The war has wrought many changes in college life, but they are only transient in nature and superficial in effect. The essence is there, still un- touched; underneath lies the old spirit, still undaunted. This portrayal is designed to include a little of everything the College, the faculty, and administration, the students and their activities, and those intangible little things that make Villanova what it is. VERY REVEREND MORTIMER A. SULLIVAN. O.S.A., S.T.L.. a lormor Presldont ol tho Colleq® now serv- ing his third form as hoad oi tho Auqustinian Province ol St. Thomas. T H E PROVINCIAL Very Reverend Mortimer A. Sullivan, O.S.A., elected for the third time to the position of Provincial of the Augustine Province of Saint Thomas in June, 1944, is no stranger to Villa- nova College. As President of the College in 1926 and former Provincial from 1932 to 1938, he has long been a controlling force in the policies of Villanova. In his position as Provincial, Father Sullivan acts as the head of the legally corporate body of the Hermits of St. Augustine whose duty it is to rule, counsel and guide three hun- dred priests engaged in teaching, preaching missions, and conducting parishes. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College he is director of the financially con- trolling body of Villanova. This board is the body which controls the broad general policies which the college follows and decides on all capital investments and the founding of schol- arship trust funds. The board is composed of seven men whose members include the Presi- dent of the College, the Procurator, and the Father Prior to the Monastery with the Provincial of the Order as their head. 8 VERY REVEREND FRANCIS X. N. McGUIRE, O.S.A., D.D.. who bocamo Prosidcnt of the Col- lege in Juno. 1944. altor three year� service as Vice-President and Dean ol Men. THE PRESIDENT Succeeding Father Edward V. Stanford as President of the College in July, 1944, Very Reverend Francis X. McGuire, O.S.A. has climaxed an association of six years with Villa- nova during which time he held various college offices including those of Dean of Men and Vice-President. Taking over his high position in the midst of the unsettled times of war. Father McGuire has very capably carried on in the footsteps of his predecessors upholding the high tradition of Villanova which they have established. A Villanova graduate of the class of 1932, Father McGuire spent several years of study at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome where he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Following his return to this country he spent an additional year of study at Ford- ham University before taking up professional duties at Villanova. Prior to his appointment as Vice-President of the College Father McGuire made himself well known as one of the busiest men on the campus through his positions as moderator of the Student Council, Chairman of the Athletic Board, moderator of the Centennial Class of 1943. counselor of Austin Hall, and director of intramural activities of the School of Com- merce and Finance. In his positions as President and Dean of Men, Father McGuire's keen sense of under- standing when dealing with the students has earned him a place in the hearts and memo- ries of all with whom he came in contact. Q THE VICE PRESIDENT REVEREND EDWARD B. McKEE. O.S.A.. M.A. Vic® Pro idon« Tho position of Vice-President carries with it many burdensome tasks, any ono of which would bo a Job In itsoll. Villanova's Vice- President is not only a college administrator, but ho is the dynamic force bohind the ath- lotlc activities, both varsity and intramural, of tho Colle?®.

O.S.A.. Ph.D. Coliego Dean and Military Liaison Otfieor Father Dwyer. College Dean and Military Liaison Officer, fulfills his duties with an oase and skill that is amazing in view of the many war-time problems. A Villanova student from 1920 until 1928. completing high school and college, ho went abroad to Germany, whore ho obtained his doctorate at Wurzburg, and pursued furthor studies at Berlin, until 1933. From 1933 until 1937 he was at tho Augustinlan Mother House in Rome. Returning to Villanova In 1937 he was as- signed to tho faculty of Philosophy, from which ho was appointed to his prosont posi- tion. 10 FACU L T Y EMIL AMELOTTI Mathematics and Physics REV.

BUECHE Engineering The Villanova spirit cannot be better emphasized than by its faculty. Here may be found that synchronous efficiency and intellectual integ- rity so necessary for the continuance of time-honored tradition. Here one may put his finger on the pulse of a true pedagogue a human- ness of approach and a tremendous desire to disseminate the bene- ficial. Each member of the faculty is an individualist in method, but achieves, by means of his individuality, a general effect—a devel- oped student, a Villanova gentleman. The teacher, the economist, the engineer, the doctor -each takes from the campus the knowledge, the wit, the devotion afforded him by the various faculty members of the four schools, and it is the endeavor of the administration to give each student as many- sided a curriculum as is feasible with his particular field of study. The finished engineer is a product of the professor of religion, the in- structor in economics, the teacher of the sciences—just as he is an effect of the various departments of engineering. Since the inception of the military training program, the lay-clerical faculty has taken on a new partner—the military instructor. The suc- cess of the instruction of the military personnel is a just tribute to the reorganization of the faculty to meet the new demands. This flexi- REV. THOMAS A. BURKE. O.S.A. Engineering REV.

Biology 12 FACULTY bility of organization—sufficient to sustain even the most drastic cur- ricular changes— is again a result of the synchronous efficiency of the college faculty. This reasonance of planning can also be traced back to the marvelous training with which the majority of the faculty have prepared themselves. The clerical members, with few excep- tions. pursued their undergraduate work here at Villanova. and then enhanced this primary training with graduate study both here and abroad. The University of Pennsylvania, Catholic University of America, Gregorian College in Rome. Wurzburg in Germany, Oxford in England, George Washington University. Columbia, M. I. T. Rensel- laer Polytechnic- these are a few of the places where the religious members of the faculty have pursued their respective fields. The lay faculty members, (many in the list of Villanova graduates) have at- tended such institutions as University of Pennsylvania. Iowa State, University of Illinois, Northwestern, University of Chicago, Notre Dame, Cornell, Georgetown, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Wisconsin, Holy Cross, Duquesne. Thus our faculty was fully prepared to meet Navy training and Navy practicality with a clean slate and equality of feeling for the highest education has to offer in these times of stress and national hardship.

USNR Commanding Officer NAVAL LIEUTENANT JAMES A. McCLINTOCK. USNR Executive Officer The past year at Villanova has seen the neces- sities of war cause many changes in the Naval Administration of the College. Officers and mem- bers of the Ship's Company of the previous year have been transferred and new faces in new positions have appeared around the Navy Office. I In his second year as Commanding Officer of the Villanova College V-12 Unit, Commander Edward Hannah, USNR, has experienced many changes in the officers and enlisted men under him for the operation of the unit. In April, Cap- tain Robert L. Morgan, USMCR. a member of the original military staff here, took over the duties of Executive Officer. Officer in charge of the Marine Detachment since July, 1943, Captain Morgan succeeded Lieutenant James A. McClin- tock, USNR, who came to Villanova as Executive Officer in April, 1944, shortly after the arrival of Commander Hannah. At this time the remaining officers at the sta- tion included Lieutenant Stanley J. Kuffel, USNR, as Athletic and Supply Officer and Lieutenant Carl E. Lorenz, USNR, who assumed duties as Medical Officer in November when he relieved Lieutenant L. J. Graham, USNR. At the start of the July semester Villanova again experienced sweeping changes in its Naval Ad- ministrative heads as it did in April, 1944. With the transfer of Captain Morgan to other duty. Lieutenant Stanley Kuffel was appointed Execu- tive Officer of the Unit. At the same time another newcomer to the campus assumed his duties at Villanova. He is Captain Roger S. Toussaint, USMCR, new head of the Marine trainees. In May the Navy Department announced that it planned to establish a unit of the Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps on the campus. Plans have been made and the official NROTC unit begins operation at Villanova in November. However, in order to hasten the progress of future candidates now in the V-12, courses in Naval pol- icy and tactics started at the beginning of the July semester. For the teaching of these courses two new Naval officers have been assigned to the college. These officers are Lieutenant V. A. Miles, USNR, and Lieutenant N. Craig, USNR. 20 LIEUTENANT STANLEY J.

Father Crawford gives instruc- tions in tho oporatlon of tho X-ray apparatus, in con- junction with an advanced courso in Physics. Just an idea of how an Englnoor spends his days at Villanova. From the far corners of Mondel basement to surveying on Misory Hill, tho Englnoor makos his presenco constantly foil throughout tho ontire school day. Tho lato afternoon sun makes a porfoct backdrop for the scionco student as he makos a first test on a com- plicated analysis. Some of tho most conscientious stu- dents can bo found in tho labs as thoy proparo them- solvos for caroors in modldnc. Microphotography being u«od in coniunctlon with tho metal- lurgy egulpmont enable! tho onglneer to keop right up to date with the latost advances In tho iiold of mechanical and chem- ical englnooring. Fathers Vrana. Klekotka. and Burke show the freshmen, with a strong and guiding hand, the value of Engineering drawing. The maiority of the courses are conducted by the regular college staff. All typos of instruments, tools and machinery are at the disposal of the embryo Englnoors. The latest electronic devices, rugged hydrau- lic pumps and all the latest types of tools make the basoment of Mendel an ideal spot for all forms of experimentation. Labs and hot weathor Just don't mix. but with tho aid of T-shirts a little relief is obtainod and classes continue as usual. Horo servicemen and civilians delve into the mysteries of the chomical world. TIIF SCHOOLS Tho Engineering student sponds a great deal of his timo In tho laboratory. Tho graduate ongineor is no moro highly skilled mechanic. Ho is a theorist with much prac- tical knowledge and oxpori- onco. Tho theory he has re- ceived in the classroom is put into practice in the lab- oratory. Grease-stained over- alls aro as much a part of Engineering equipment as tho highly mystifying toxtbooks. The Chemistry Laboratory presonls interesting and varied problems to tho student. Here ho porforms experiments with complicated apparatus, makos tests and analyses of sub- stances. compounds, and the liko. Tho work is oxacting and requires conscientious application. In this picture Father Jenkins appears to be onjoying a demonstration of one of the weekly oxporiments. The time consuming elomont in tho Hlo oi tho pro-medical student is work in tho laboratory. Horo wo find a class dis- secting a cat which is used more frequently than any othor animal in laboratory work. Experimental work of this nature presupposes hours of preparation in tho tedious and exact- ing mothods of the scientist. The Electrical Laboratory to the uninitlatod observer soems to be a maxo of controls and wires, but to the Electrical Englnoor every piece of equipment has a distinct meaning. Horo we find tho studonts becoming acquainted with tho switchboard in tho laboratory, through which all the power for the dynamos, transformers, motors and gen- erators Is distributed. Every Villanovan is trained to be a leader, a guide and champion of others. This is especially true of the Augustinian seminarian of Villanova. for it is he who must relive the Order's great tra- dition of unselfish apostolic service to others. The seminarian is the priest of tomorrow; through him will flow God's grace bringing courage, strength and eternal happiness into the souls of men. The seminarians of Saint Mary's Hall are Re- ligious. By a public profession they have prom- ised to live a life of poverty, chastity and obedi- ence. Hence, the seminarian is called a Pro- fessed, and Saint Mary's Hall is sometimes called the Professorium. The life of a Professed is a prayer-offering to God. Early in the morning the young men of Saint Mary's gather in their chapel for the two most important acts of the day, the attendance at Mass and the reception of Holy Communion. At fixed intervals in the remainder of the day the Hours of the Divine Office are recited to give praise and thanksgiving to God, and to offer reparation for the sins of all men. The day closes with the peaceful Magnum Silentium. In their studies the Professed undergo a train- ing which must meet all the requirements for attaining a Bachelor of Arts degree. The heart of the curriculum is Philosophy. This discipline makes the seminarian a sound and skillful critic of what is true and what is good, and thereby qualifies the aspirant to the priesthood to advance to the higher study of Theology. Prayer and study are essential in the long preparation for the Priesthood, but so, too, is recreation. In a good game of baseball or foot- ball, the young men learn teamwork and sports- manship, and how to think and act when under pressure. Everyone at Saint Mary's is active in some sport whether it be football, baseball, bas- ketball, tennis or ice skating, and there is a long list of athletic stars with their famous homers or run-backs. Whatever may be his future work as a Priest, the Augustinian seminarian will be prepared for his assignment. The Professed's education has fully trained the whole man; he will be a Priest that is all things to all men. 26 FIRST ROW: Scanlon. Enni . Lamond. Brlmson. CanlqUa. J. Quinn. Blethon. Seymour.

Something like Irom lour to five hours of the Somlnarlans day is spent in Chapel, whore with his follow Seminarians he sing tho praises of God and beg His bloss- ing on his studies. The Somlnorlan can often be soon enloying a stroll on the campus. fedigan hall AUSTIN HALL As the time approaches v hen we must leave Villanova, the Class of '45 becomes more aware of many fond memories which are unmistakably asso- ciated with the past two and a half years. We. therefore, present some of the noteworthy and historical sidelights that have marked our era in the sin- cere belief that they will, at least, recall much to some, less to more, but a lot to most. It was in July. 1942, that the first class destined to leave in '45 came to Villanova. It was also V.C.'s first semester under a war-prompted accelerated program . . . Centennial Convocation.

Many of the organizations for- merly found on the campus were not able to survive due to the lack of civilian students and the inability of the V-12 trainees to participate in all the extra- curricular activities. We therefore extend praise to those men who devoted time and energy to keep the traditional Villanova spirit alive. However, there still remains diversified programs which the student may choose to enter. This broad selection has made possible every student's participation in the life around the campus.

I Tlk' popular idea lhat a 1945 edition of the Belle Air was impossible because tiie inauspicious conditions prevailing almost broke Villanova s long chain nual publications this year. Only through the inspired areal cl a few i loyal Villanovans who had faith in their ability to turn out a yearbook. regard- less of the edds. was responsible for this continuation of the traditional record College activities. I Much of the credit for this edition belongs to John Filzgibbons, Edilorin- Chief cf this, and last year’s book as well. With practically no assistance he attended to the myriad details ol design and publication ... in fact, it ® 9ht be said that the Belle Air owes its continued existence solely to his, assiduity and perseverance. Matters attendant to circulation and business were capably dealt with by George Seibert and John Millet despite many handicaps. As copy editor. | jGeorge Hoberg did work worthy of commendation, and Tom Welch s military liaison efiorts were invaluable. Mike Flynn. Bill Koness. Jerry Lee. Ray Adams. Joe Sulock. Dave Ward.

O.S.A. THE VILLANOVAN Last year the Villanovan continued to feel the effect of the curtailment made necessary by the smaller student body and reduced campus activities. Several eight-page issues were published, however, showing the gradual return to normal activity. The editorial post was filled for the first semester by Thomas Welch, Senior engineer; who finished his two-semester term of office in November. The editor for the remaining two semes- ters of the year was Paul Carmichael, Sophomore Pre-Med. The Villanovan'' is published every Tuesday in tabloid Editor-in-Chief..........Paul L.

Its contents are written by the students from their own personal experiences or from knowledge gained by out- side study. Although the engineer's heavy sched- ule allows little time for extra-curricular activities, especially under the accelerated program, the staff has continued to publish a successful and widely read magazine. Wartime difficulties, how- ever, made it necessary to decrease the number of issues from the original eight per school year to two each semester. The purpose ol the Engineer is to help the under- graduates keep abreast of new developments and improvements in all fields of engineering work. Its articles stress practical aspects, and are writ- ten to provide general information rather than dry technical data. The scope of its subject material ranges from a discussion of the constructional features of the Pennsylvania Turnpike through the development of the motor torpedo boat to the pos- sibilities of postwar aircraft design.

USNR 76 THE STUDENT COUNCIL Carrying on according to past traditions, the Student Council continued in its efforts to coordi- nate and direct the activities of the student body. However, because of the extraordinary condi- tions prevailing, the scope of its functions was rather limited. The Council gave invaluable aid in the organi- zation of the Class of '45 and the election of its officers, and sponsored several campus activi- ties. Its most recent work consisted in laying plans for the revival of the traditional orientation customs for freshmen, along with the famous Hello Habit , both of which have disappeared from the campus in recent years. This group is composed of members elected to represent the various dormitories on the campus, or who, by virtue of their position in another or- ganization, belong to it ex-officio.

DELTA PI EPSILON Always an active organization, Delta Pi Epsilon, has been having a long hard struggle holding together these war years. No sooner would they have their annual initiation, and begin building up its membership, when Uncle Sam would come along and take away some of the future leaders in the Col- lege, which D.P.E. was in the habit of producing. The Frat, a consistent producer of above average dances, had decided to wait until a more opportune time, when the C. F. School comes into its own again, to hold its annual Financier's Frolic. Under the able leadership of President William Barrett, the Frat held its annual initiation and smoker, inducting forty new members into the organization. They also held, what promises to be an annual affair, a banquet at the Wayne Hotel. This banquet, with good food and speeches, proved quite a success. PHI KAP AND D. P.

Organized in 1907, it enjoys the reputation of being consistently the most active frat” on the campus, and is affectionately known as ''Phi Kap by its members. The success of this organization rests upon the inherent enthusiasm of the engineers and their ability to produce leaders to direct its many and varied activi- ties. The war and the accelerated program have affected Phi Kap less than any other society on the campus. It has continued to conduct a dance and banquet every school year, and these affairs have kept up their pre-war reputations as being high- lights of the social season. A bowling league begun in Novem- ber, 1944, proved so popular that another was started in March, 1945. On December 8, 1944, the annual smoker was held in the Commerce and Finance Auditorium. The Winter Hop in February of 1945 completed the social whirl for that semester. Phi Kap held its annual initiation in April, 1945, when a large influx of underclassmen greatly bolstered its ranks. Two months later the annual banquet at Palumbo s socially ended the spring term. FIRST ROW: Wolch. Cock roll (Sergeant at Armi). Gcrngross (Studont Council Representative). O'Connor (Proildent).

Accepting the challenge presented by wartime curtailment of extra-curricula activities, four Villa- nova societies—the AIEE, ASME, ASCE, and AIChE—continued to take an active part in campus life. The AIEE, boasting the largest en- rollment in its history, its membership totaling 35, featured semi-monthly meetings highlighted by talks presented by senior members on their respec- tive thesis topics. This society, together with the ASME, were feted as being two of the most active organizations on the campus. Both societies at- tended monthly meetings at the Engineer's Club. The latter organization offered technical movies as a means of keeping its members abreast of current topics. Noted for its frequent plant trips and Philadelphia meetings, the ASCE was re- vived this year at the instigation of enthusiastic Civils. The AIChE, despite its small membership, continued to be active. so AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS. VlllanOTO Chapter. FIRST ROW: Bradley. Reinhardt. Dwyer (Vlco-Chairman}.

Sparked by the boundless energy of its director and severest critic. Sergeant John Muir, the society wrote, rehearsed and successfully produced the musical comedy I Want to Be An Officer with the fineness of a professional group. The three act comedy portrayed the life of a boot trainee and his introduction into the rigors of a V-12 hitch . Chief credit for the successes attained by the society goes to Sergeant Muir; to Father Falvey, Adviser; and to Robert Whalen, secretary of the Athletic Association. Mr. Whalen composed many of the musical scores used in both the Yankee Doodle and the Belle Masque presentations. RELIGIOUS FIRST ROW: O'Donnell. Cmulano. Sullivan. R� ldy. FIRST ROW: J. Lamb.

One of the least publicized but most important or- ganizations on the Villanova Campus is the Sanctuary Society. Villanova's first purpose and all-inclusive ideal is service to God, and the Sanctuary Society ful- fills the need of a means of expressing this ideal. Membership in the society is composed of those stu- dents who serve at Mass and at the evening chapel services. The society has also added a new group this past year. This group is known as the Dawn Patrol” and is composed entirely of Marine members of the V-12 Unit who have volunteered to serve the 6 o'clock Masses every morning. The entire member- ship is voluntary. The other main religious organization on the campus is the Choir group. The Choir, like the Sanctuary So- ciety, has done much to bring all college men into a closer relationship with God. At present, the Choir 84 SOCIETIES FIRST ROW: Olial. Inianxon. Ronan. DeSantis.

The untiring eHorts of Father Klekotka and Father Burke have been instrumental in stimulating the con- tinued interest of the boys belonging to the two organi- zations. Another person who deserves a great deal of credit for the functioning of these organizations is the College Chaplain. Father Grimes. Father Grimes’ almost legendary devotion to his position as Chaplain has done much to preserve the true Catholic spirit among Villanovans during these war tom years. It is hop� ed that with the return of a larger student body in the near future, both of these organizations will grow even to greater proportions. Both organiza- tions wore important on the campus before tire war and it is felt that they will play a still greater role in the life of Villanova in the days to come. ts Drifting snowflakes and the proximity of St. Val- entine’s Day provided the inspirational genius for the decorative theme of Phi Kappa Pi's Winter Hop. A plaster of Paris snowman dominated the center of the dancing floor while the walls of the gym glowed with a covering of gay valentines made to order for the evening. To Bill Koness, Mike Flynn, Don Reinhardt, Tom Welch, and others went the credit for the beauty of the ball- room. The music of Len Mayfair provided the back- ground for this first social affair of the new year, and the only dance for the season arranged by the active Phi Kap fraternity. Hugh O'Reilly did an excellent job as chairman of the dance com- mittee. The turnout was exceptionally good de- spite the transportation difficulties. FIRST ROW: Soils. Welch. O'Reilly. Dumia.

HIGHLIGHTS OF 1945 ing collection of dolls, each vested in the garb worn by nuns of the various congregations who have attended the Summer School and Extension School of Villanova College since the beginning of those classes twenty-seven years ago. The project arose out of the Centennial celebration of the College two years ago, which coincided with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Summer School. Two years were spent in preparing the dolls. The miniature figures are garbed with minute detail to illustrate and explain the symbolism of the dress of the different communities. Also included in the exhibit were three military dolls and a nurse. 92 In order to give to the students of Villcmova College a knowledge of the various parts of the world where they had been stationed, the Marine and Navy V-12 trainees displayed a pictorial exhibit in the Villanova College library. The exhibit consisted of souvenirs and pictures which they had acquired during their travels. A colorful map depicting the far flung outposts where Villanova men have seen action during the war was the main attrac- tion of the display. AT1LET1CS 94 Catholic education has long stressed the development of a well-rounded personality. It is the aim of Villanova to foster physical, mental, and moral strength. With this in view the college has effected an athletic program in- cluding both sports which everyone likes to watch and enjoy, and sports in which everyone can participate. The result of this program has been to make Villanova men assets to their country and has made possible their fuller enjoyment of life. 95 FIRST ROW: Olirar (Coach). Lubin (Mgr.). Ungaro. Griffith.

Nolan, Williams (Capt.), SCRANTON 13-7 Determined to get off to a good start, the Wild- cat football squad, which was probably the least experienced to ever represent Villanova, trav- eled to Scranton to meet the Tomcats of Scranton Univ. Wasting no time the light but fast Villa- novan's set out to spoil the Tomcat's return to the gridiron wars in the first quarter. Dick Hoot cli- maxed a 72 yard march by going over the double stripe on a quarterback sneak. Unable to gain through the stalwart Blue and White line, the Tommies took to the air, and suc- ceeded in giving Coach Olivar many uneasy moments, and managed to tie the score. How- ever, the Main Liners were not to be denied, and in the third period slippery Buck Williams broke loose for the winning tally. Scranton due mainly to its strong aerial offen- sive continued to threaten but further scoring efforts were frustrated by the alert defensive work Abribat, Kuirnan, Cunningham, Banning, Wagner. Robertson, Rider. of Dick Hoot, and burly Bob David, and the Cats with only one regular back from the 1943 eleven prevailed to the tune of 13-7. F M 14-6 Playing away from home for the second straight week, the Cats went up to Lancaster and met the Diplomats of F M. The Blue and White took the opening kickoff, and marched right down the field to allow Buck Williams to again slip off tackle for a score. Duke Severson connected on the extra point to give the Cats a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, alert Bob David inter- cepted a Diplomat pass, and again the Main Liners were touchdown bound. Dick Hoot passed to Bob Forrest to set up the score, and it was the touchdown kid Buck Williams who drove through for the six pointer. In the second half, the Diplomats took to the air, and hitting the Cats weak spot, marched to a 96 or 1944 . „ f 4;«.

SAMPSON 7-6 The home season of the Cats was opened at Shibe Park, after colorful pre-game parading by the V-12 Unit, with Sampson NTS furnishing the opposition. The Sailors were coached by the for- mer mentor of the Fordham Rams and one of the famous Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, Sleepy Jim Crowley, and were composed of erstwhile college stars and ex-professional football players. The heavier, favored Sailors had the better of the going in the first period. In the second quarter the Blue and White got a break when center Don Peterson recovered a fumble on the enemy thirty- five. A long pass Hoot to Forrest, was good for twenty yards, and the same combination worked for another twelve to put the ball on the three yard line. Here, Bucky Williams again squeezed through the tackle slot for the score. This time Bob Strauss. Gallaghor. RossHor. Sullivan. THIRD ROW: Ward. Tlornoy. McGuigan. Potorson. McPcak. Heron.

In the third period, Villanova just missed two additional tallies when two long passes by slick Dick Hoot narrowly missed the outstretched arms of men in the clear. Sampson's weight advantage began to tell in the final quarter, and speedy Angelo Magliola burst around his own left end, and went fifty yards for a touchdown. However, an enraged Wildcat line broke through to smother the attempt for the extra point and the Cats maintained their slim margin. Superb punting by Bob David kept the Blue- jackets back on their heels for the remainder of the tilt, and the Cats emerged victorious in one of the biggest upsets of the season.

FOOTBALL up with their customary first period drive. With the ball on the Crusaders thirty-eight, Bucky Wil- liams broke into the clear and was stopped by a driving tackle on the twenty which broke his thigh pad, and injured the Blue and White's scor- ing star. When play was resumed, the Cat's of- fense stalled and Holy Cross took over. The Cru- saders proceeded to unveil a powerful attack, led by Ted Moraski which rolled up two touchdowns before halftime. In the second half the Cats' offense was equally impotent but the Crusaders rolled on, and by a combination of passes and reverses, managed to score twice more to put the game on ice. MUHLENBERG 7-0 With most of the regulars playing their last game in the Blue and White, the Cats met Muhlen- berg on a rain soaked field and capitalized on an intercepted pass to score their only touch- down of the day. With but one minute of the first half remaining, Vince McPeak pulled a Mule aerial out of the sky, and carried it to the enemy thirty-five. Here Dick Hoot took over the scoring reins and passed to Bob Forrest who amazed everyone by hanging onto the slippery ball and going for the score. The second half presented Mule� ' Howell being sandwichod between Roger McRae and anolhor Villanovan. 98 Looks llko an enomy huddlo hero, but that's tho Bluo and Whlto fullback.

With both teams resorting to the punt and wait for the break type of play, that one touchdown loomed bigger and bigger, and finally proved to be the deciding margin in the bitterly waged contest. ARMY 83-0 As all good semesters go, so went the July term and with it went tho Villanova football hopes. Practically every member of the regular eleven is lost through Navy and Marines transfers. So a new team traveled to West Point to en- gage the number one team in the country, and the number one team didn’t disappoint its follow- ers much to the disgust of Villanovans as Davis, Blanchard. Stanowitz, and company rolled over the inexperienced Cats to the tune of 83-0. The Cats waged a courageous uphill battle, but all their efforts went for naught against the Cadets 99 who were three deep in every position. ATLANTIC CITY NAS 8-26 Villanova's second half eleven made its home opening against an undefeated Atlantic City Naval Air Station and came out on the wrong side of a 26-6 score. The field was the same as it had been for every home game, a soggy mass of mud. Battered and worn as a result of the bruising Army game, the Blue and White was no match for the heavier, and wiser Corsairs. The air station eleven presented an accurate preview of the course of the ensuing battle when it received the opening kickoff, and proceeded to march right down the field for a touchdown. The game settled down after that to a punting duel except for a thirty-eight yard dash around right end by a fleet Airman for the second score of the evening. The Blue and White rooters had a chance to cheer when after Ryan completed two passes, Vince McPeak drove over for the only Wildcat touchdown. The Corsairs came right back and proceeded to double this effort and bring their total for the night to 26. BUCKNELL 6-27 The Bucknell Bisons proved to be very impolite guests as they rudely refused to allow the Wild- cats to close the season with a win. The Lewis- burg boys took charge of the situation from the outset and were the whole show in the first half while they rolled up a 20-0 margin. The second half followed the same pattern and the only bright spot for the Wildcats was in the closing minutes of the game when Dick Evans picked up a Bison fumble and ran for a touch- down. Thus the Wildcats finished the most hectic sea- son in Blue and White History with a .500 aver- age. Some of the manpower trouble experienced by Coach Olivar, can be seen by the fact that only one man, tackle Ray Wille, was able to start every game of the season. Villanova never fielded a more inexperienced eleven, but by the same token, she'll never send forth a more cour- ageous one. 100 FOOTBALL 1944 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Vill.

The 1944-45 edition of the Villanova varsity bas- ketball squad encountered many difficulties in its efforts to maintain the high standard of court play to which the Main Line institution has been accustomed. Limited practice hours, transfer of naval trainees, and the ruling of several players as ineligible were the chief factors contributing to a drab season. The Wildcats first foe was Loyola College of Baltimore. Led by Captain Joe Walters, lone hold- over from the previous year, the Cats jumped to an early lead and were never seriously threat- ened thereafter. They held a 23-9 advantage at half time and increased this margin to 49-28 at the final whistle. The Blue and White made it two in a row by downing a doughty Swarthmore team, 39-32. The game was closely fought throughout, with the Garnet falling before a third period drive of the Cats. Walters led the scorers in this game with a total of 21 points, but had it not been for the work of Bud O'Neill under the backboards, the outcome of the game might have been different. In a game which was decided through the scorekeepers error, the Severancemen registered their third successive triumph of the young season by downing the Philadelphia Navy Yard Marines, 37-36. Substitute Bill Callaghan and Joe Walters gave the Cats their margin of victory by registering a foul and a field goal respectively, in the fading Madigan got� a shove, unscon by tho roloroo when ho and Szukala, of Valley Forge go up for th© ball.

Walters wound up with a total of 18 points which gave him the scoring lead- ership of the Philadelphia district. Staving off a last minute rally, the Severance- men extended their winning streak to four by de- feating the Franklin and Marshall Diplomats, 39-34. Dave Ward and Dick Madigan countered field goals which gave the Cats the lead in the first period, and they never relinquished it. The Main Liners first defeat was administered by a classy Rider College five, 42-27. The Cats were off their game and never came close to their opponents after the first few minutes of play. In a real heartbreaker, the Blue and White sus- tained their second loss at the hands of a tall Bucknell quintet, 43-42, after holding a seven point lead at the half. Playing without the aid of their ace ball retriever, Bud O'Neill, who was out with a foot injury, the Cats gave away plenty of height to their opponents, but stayed in the ball game by playing spirited and aggressive ball. The Cats lost their second one point game to the Garnet of Swarthmore, 40-39. Trailing by nine points at the half the Severancemen battled grimly and came within one point of tying the game when Lee Carter scored a lay-up with ten sec- onds remaining. Then substitute Joe Dwyer stole the ball, ard missed a desperate hook shot as the gun sounded. At this point in the season fate intervened to deal the Cats a cruel blow. Joe Walters, who was then top scorer in the Philadelphia district, O'Neill, and Joe Costello, a capable substitute were ruled ineligible. The Blue and White was given little time to recover from this setback and was totally unpre- pared to meet Muhlenberg, one of the nation's top teams. Newly appointed Captain Lee Carter tried to spark his mates to an upset victory, but the Mules piled up an early lead and wound up Captain Loo Carter got ready to let ily with a hook shot and Sxukala's frantic efforts to block It go for naught. After leading throughout most of the first half, the Cats tired and fell for the second time before Valley Forge General Hospital, 61-42. The season’s wind-up game found the Main Liners bowing to the Philadelphia Coast Guard 46-37. The Band plays ono of Its stirring marchos during a tlmo out. with a 46-22 triumph. The four game losing streak was finally brought to an end when the Wildcats downed F M, 39-37 in a thrill packed game. Lee Carter scored the winning field goal just as the gun went off. In a drab ball game Princeton defeated the undermanned Main Liners by a 49-35 score. The Tigers spurted early in the second half after hold- ing a one point advantage at half-time. The Cats next opponent was the Valley Forge General Hospital quintet, comprised of former college stars, and one of the best teams in the country. The Blue and White were definitely out- classed, but none the less they battled valiantly before succumbing to the Medics fast breaking attack. The final count was 61-31 and Schanber- ger and Carter led the Cats with 13 each. The Severancmen continued to engage top flight teams as their next scheduled encounter was with the high powered Naval Academy five. Height superiority aided the Midshipmen no little in their 71-28 win. Muhlenberg scored its second triumph over the Main Liners 46-29, and continued on its way to national prominence. Bucknell also annexed its second victory over the Cats by virtue of a 46-34 score. The Bisons employed an effective zone defense in stopping the Main Liners. Bill Schanberger and Chuch Froelicher led the losers with 10 points. With the return of Bud O'Neill, the Cats brought their second four game losing streak to an end by defeating Rider, 46-36, thereby avenging an early season setback. O'Neill paced the Main Liners with 19 points. TRACK Villanova's fourth wartime track team started almost informally in mid-December, when in their initial appearance, for the Inquirer Invitation Meet at the University of Pennsylvania, the Blue and White managed to secure second place in the Mile and Distance Medley Relays. The team then started on its weekly journeys to Madison Square Garden where the mile relay team of Cox, Short. Harrington, and Schmitt tri- umphed over Rhode Island, North Carolina, and Rochester to lead the field home in the Millrose games. Two weeks later, at the New York A. C. Games, the same quartet dropped a hard fought first place to Holy Cross, and the following Saturday night at the National A. A. U. Championships the relay team netted a third. Traveling to the IC4A In- door Championships, the Wildcats dropped to a disappointing fifth place in the last ten yards. At this meet. Bean replaced Schmitt in the relays so that the Villanova captain could try his luck in the mile event. In the last and most sensational race of the entire indoor season, the Wildcats won the Knights of Columbus mile relay as Don Schmitt broke the tape ahead of the Holy Cross man in a last desperate lunge. The first outdoor meet of the season. Middle Atlantic Polar Bear Games at the University of Pennsylvania, Franklin Field, saw Captain Schmitt place second in the mile run with a time of 4.35.3. On Saint Patrick's night the Blue and White journeyed to Camden for the Middle Atlantic A. A. U. Meet. The mile relay team took a sec- ond behind Penn; Bob Bean mustered a third in the 880; and Don Schmitt won the mile with Jack Cockroft placing fourth. In the first home showing of the track team at the Penn Relays the distance medley relay team of Harrington, Short, Bean, and Schmitt took a fast third behind Michigan and NYU. Following this example the class B mile relay team of Cox, Short, Bean, and Schmitt faired equally as well. April twenty-first saw the Cats at West Point for the IC4A outdoor championships. Don Schmitt secured a valiant third place in the mile run behind Simms of NYU, and Barry of Navy. Burt Cox took a second place in the broad jump with a leap of twenty-two feet, nine inches. The team itself placed seventh in the meet with but six men competing. The Metropolitan Philadelphia Intercollegiate Meet held on Franklin Field furnished the last appearance for the 1944-45 track squad. The Blue and White took a hard fought second place rolling up a total of 47 points to Penn's 671 2. Cox accounted for 17 points, scoring wins in the 100 and 200 yard dashes, the broad jump, and a first Burt Cox strains to break that tape first in tho 100 yard dash at Franklin Field with Ponn's man making a desperate but futile lunge. Captain Don Schmitt. Middio Atlantic AAU mile champion, crossos the line first ahoad of runners from Penn, Muhlenberg. Templo, and Princeton. 106 place tie with Len Autrey in the high jump. Cap- tain Don Schmitt proved his great endurance in this meet by coming home ahead of the field in both the mile and the two mile events. Autrey also tied for a first place in the pole vault, while Short took third place in the 440 yard run. The following men took third places: Bean, in the 880; Cockroft, in the mile; Harrington, in the 220 yard low hurdles; and Williams in the javelin throw. Dan Redmond placed fourth in the mile immediately behind Cockroft and Jim Breen took a fourth in the 120 yard high hurdles. In the 440 tho Wildcat's Tom Short shows the way across tho finish line to an enemy from Penn with Bob Bean coming in stumbling to finish fifth. Burt Cox seems to be standing on nothing and doing it with very little effort. Although this might seem to bo tho case, tho Villanova boy still put enough into it to come in first in this broadjump.

BASEBALL The season officially opened July 12, 1944 when the Wildcats engaged the Red and Blue on the Villanova diamond, and ended up with a 4-1 loss despite the excellent pitching of Gene Wein- ert the Cat's mounds man. The mighty mite Jimmy DiSalvo scored the only run on a single, steal, and another one bagger by Sondheimer. Undaunted by their first game defeat, the Main Liners tackled Swarthmore coming out of the fray with a 10-10 tie. The highlight of the game was a triple of Dick Hoot's which cleared the loaded bases. The Garnet retaliated with 3 runs in their half of the same inning to bring the score to 10-9. In the ninth inning. Gene Weinert walked in a runner to tie up the ball game after which the contest was called on account of darkness. In the next encounter of the season the Blue and White avenged their earlier setback by Penn to the tune of 9-8. In the fourth game of the season, against the Philadelphia Coast Guard, the Cats got off to a good start in the first inning when a triple by Anderson brought in two runs. The Sailors took the lead in the fifth frame bringing in 7 runs on 4 hits, the scoring being largely due to infield errors. They added 6 more runs in the sixth and the Wildcats went down to a 13-2 conquest. Fr. McCarthy gives the starting lineup to managor Red Conway. During this time the team members were slightly on edgo to see who was going to play. FIRST ROW: Koernor. Nolan. LaHorty. Fr. McCarthy. Wagnor. Wiedenhaeier. Anderson. Hortzfold. SECOND ROW: Mattas.

Dick was VUlanova's ace moundtman alter being a rellof huxler during the previous year. Tho boys got a little pep talk from coach Fr. McCarthy before the opening of the season. That small boy in there Is Murph who hasn't missed a Vlllanova baseball game In two years. Red Lafforty slides home safely after a wild pitch to account lor the first Vlllanova run of the season. The next day the valiant baseball squad went down to Annapolis to lose a close 8-7 game to the Middies. The Cats scored first when Dick Hoot doubled to bring in Anderson; the Middies took the lead in their half of the inning getting two runs on four walks and one error. The Blue and White tied it up in the third inning when Hoot Lempa, and DiSalvo bunched three hits to bring in one run. However, in the Blue and Gold half of the inning, and again in the fifth, the Mid- dies drove in two runs to again take the lead 6-2. In the following inning Corr tripled, and came home on Neiman's single; in the seventh, DiSalvo walked, Lempa singled and Anderson walked to fill the bases. This was the spot for Dick Hoot who promptly proceeded to pound out a homer to bring the Wildcats one up on the Middies, 7-6. But the Navy boys got another run and tied the score in the same stanza. Both nines were held scoreless in the eighth and ninth but the Blue and Gold scored in the tenth on a single and a long double to left center. Returning to their home diamond, the Cats en- countered the baseball nine from the Valley Forge General Hospital and were robbed of a victory by an eighth inning rally of the Medics which netted them one run and a tie ball game. Re- peating their previous performance, the Blue and White played to another deadlock with Swarth- more. In the next game of the season, the play-off game of the two previous contests with the Gar- net. Red Lafferty tried a come-back and started his first encounter of the summer. However, Dame Fortune smiled the other way. and it was the Swarthmore nine which came out on the top of a 17-3 score. Traveling to Phoenixville to engage the Medics of the Valley Forge General Hospital, the Wild- cats were on the short end of a 1-0 score when Reagan with two outs in the sixth singled to left field. Ward followed with another one bagger through the box. and Weinert drove in Reagan on a line drive to right. Ward taking third on the play. DiSalvo popped up to the second baseman, who muffed the ball, and the Wildcats took the lead 2-1 as Ward came home on the play. In the eighth stanza, the Medics tied up the ball game on a walk, a hit and run, and a sacrifice. In the final and best played game of the sea- son, the Wildcats emerged the victors of a 1-0 game with the Philadelphia Navy Yard Marines. i w INTRAMURAL PROGRAM The intramural sports program has always been one of the chief interests of all the students in the past in that it gave them a chance to try their skill at one or more of their favorite sports, not being able for some reason or other to go out for the varsity teams. This past year, found a greater need than ever before for this means of enabling both the V-12 and the civilian student to relax after a hard school-day, before going to work on their evening lessons. The various intramural leagues were held after dinnertime up until 2000 Navy time or in other words, 8:00 o'clock. Throughout the spring and summer, softball reigned supreme, and it inci- dentally lasts the longest of any of the leagues sponsored by Frs. Kemme, and Girolami, Co- Moderators of the Intramural Program. In the Fall the fellows went out for a touch football league which wasn't half so tame as the usual touch games are. It would be better not to mention the number of participants who on the fol- lowing day could be seen limping to various classes with their heroically won charley-horses. no No. this isn't soccer and ho isn't trying to hit tho ball with his head. This is lust a typical scene from an Intramural basketball game between tho Marinos and McndeL Mendolites (in tho shirts) outnumber McGulgan. Austin Hall Marines only player in this picture by three to one odds. The other league which occupied most of the spare time of the students during the past year was the basketball circuit. This league was di- vided into two halves, one operating before the Christmas leave or vacation, depending on whether or not one was in the service and the other half taking place after. The winners of each half then had a three game play-off to determine the championship of the campus. All in all the program over the past year was extremely successful and enough can not be said to show the gratitude felt by the members of the class of '45 for the manner in which Fr. Kemme, and Fr. Girolami spent so much of their time. One of their minor jobs, but one that was important was of settling disputes in the various games in the interpretation of the rules by the referees and AUSTIN D Albora, Rodmond. Shoridan. Sonner.

The basketball league got underway in the first week of December, and it was the Mendel Hall Engineers that got off to the best start by nosing out the Civilians from Alumni Hall, and their fellow servicemen from Fedigan. Bud O'Neill, Bill Lamb, and Jim Shoemaker all made their marks by dropping numerous twin pointers in these vic- tories. It was after this defeat that Alumni started its winning streak by taking the next game from Fedigan. The backboard work of Al. Dumsa and Dom Longo furnished the necessary difference between the teams. These two men also proved themselves to be among the top scorers in the league. Mendel was still in first place until the Leathernecks came along and dumped them in a tight 28-22 contest, McQuigan starring for the Marines. This loss started Mendel on the down- grade, and by the end of the first half, the Engi- neers had dropped to a last place tie with Fedi- gan. Alumni's constant driving and fighting was responsible for the mounting number of games being placed in their own win column, and even- tually brought them out on top of the pack. This amazed the whole campus since it had been gen- erally expected that Mendel and Fedigan would be battling for the first-half title. Ken Sonner was high scorer of the league for the first half with the respectable total of 78 points followed by Longo with 45 and Dumsa with 43. The second half started with Alumni downing the boys from Fedigan, and Austin swamping the Marines as Sonner donated 18 points to the Austin cause. Mendel forfeited a game, and then got back on the bandwagon to drub the Marines 113 INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Vince DeSantis looks as though he's about to take a divo to gel that ball away from Fedigan's Flynn. as Murphy scored 7 field goals for a total of 14 points. The following week found the Sailors from Austin maintaining their untarnished second half record by downing Alumni and Fedigan. Joe Walters and his team mates from Fedigan came back in the same week to take the Marines in what proved to be hottest game of the season. Fedigan, behind 16-7 at the half, rallied and man- aged to come out on top, 27-22. Austin continued on its winning way for the remainder of the second half and defeated every other team in the circuit twice to annex the crown. Fedigan forced the Austinites to the limit, with Gabe Lizak, Chick Magner, Joe Walters, and Joe ON FLOOR: Hughes. MENDEL Sondhelmor. Elsosscr. Shoemaker. FIRST ROW: Dougherty. Plunkett.

The final game found Alumni the first half champs safely ensconced in third place, with the Marines in fourth, and Mendel bringing up the rear. In the play-offs, it was Austin who finished on top as a result of winning the rubber game of the three game series. FCen Sonner, and Bill Smith were the big guns in Alumni's defeat and Son- ner was a unanimous selection on the all league five.

IIS INTRAMURAL In keeping with the intramural tradition of for- mer years, the spring session of the 1945 soft- ball league saw a spirited race for campus dia- mond honors. Although only four teams, Fedigan, Mendel, Austin Navy and Austin Marines were represented in the league, interest was keen throughout the entire campaign. The scramble for the first half championship began with Fedigan and the Marines tieing for first place with identical records of two wins and one loss after the initial week of play. The Marines stretched their advantage while Fedigan dropped to third during the second week, as the Austin Sailors surprised by winning two straight ball games to capture second. Mendel lan- guished helplessly in last place. AUSTIN FIRST ROW: Baxtor. D'Albora. Lamb. Saponaro. SECOND ROW: Bombick. Bacsick. Sonnor, Andrews, Cobb. Moore. FEDIGAN FIRST ROW: Wilson. CostoIIo. Waltors. W. Farroll, Huber. SECOND ROW: Cook. H. Ward. Fcmiano. Hoberg, Madlgan . McRae. Krak. The last week of the first half saw Fedigan spurt suddenly behind the airtight pitching of McRae and Femiano, as the Marines were drop- ped down the ladder to third place. Fedigan and Austin Navy tied for first place, necessitating a play-off game which the Fedigan swabbies nar- rowly won, 7-6. Fedigan left little doubt as to the outcome of the second half race as they rolled up scores of 16-2, 15-4, and 10-4 over Austin Navy and Marines in the first week of battle. From then on in, it was simply a matter of finishing out ball games. Fedigan wound up the final half with only a tie marring a perfect record. The Marines fin- ished second, with Mendel's Civilians and the Austin Sailors tied for third place. FIRST ROW: Carter. Children. Scharnbcrg. Stookoy. Ball. SECOND ROW: CarrolL Adams. Scanlon. Walp.
