Will you look for me and see how much it has changed? Will the crocus still come through in front of Woman ' s Hall? You know they used to spell something. I ' ve forgotten what but something. And then do the yellow bushes come out by South Wing and by Ernie ' s and at Men ' s Hall? Then the bushes in the little rose garden across the way from the dorm bud out. People sit on the front porch of Ernie ' s and as spring progresses people wander over to Oglebay Hall dairy for huge ice cream cones, and the trees come out between the Administration and Reynold ' s Hall and they open the windows at the Music School and at Moore Hall and music has a free reign o ' er the lush grass behind the president ' s home. The fish pond thaws out, they drain and refill it to the tune of Dr. Shortrldge ' s lectures from 214 Administration. Everybody stands down in front of Men ' s Hall about ten minutes to six each evening in sports coats waiting for dinner (not chow). . I suppose the convertibles are gone but the privileged will still sit on the wall in front of the Kappa house and people will wend their way over the famous Burma Road to the Delta Gamma house. The Beta ' s may even assemble at Ernie ' s and try to get a ride up the hill at night. No Delts wiji try to gain admittance late to get some Seven Up, I ' m sure. People play soft ball and come in Ernie ' s with balls and gloves and T-shirts. Some of the ambitious may even strike out for the library and many will go down after to smoke and sit on the walls in front. At night a light will burn atop the Chemistry building and one Below is part of a letter written by a West Virginia graduate, Robert Scott, to a former student here. This letter, which was received several days after word came that he had been killed in action near Luxemberg, reflects the feelings of many former students who served overseas during the past conflict. To the memory of those who did not return this bool( is dedicated. in the Journalism office and the doorway of Science, Martin and Woodburn where the clock will tick off the hours — three ones at 12:30, I and 1:30 and people going honne toward Sunnyslde will whistle loudly. People will congregate in front of Administration at nine in the morning and Mixed Chorus will meet there on Wednesday. Dolphin will meet on Mondays and there will be meetings on Tues- days and evening gowns some Sunday when initiations are held. Someone will sit on the Chi O ' s front porch and watch people pass below. There will be a parade of hats and hose to church on Sunday and the Stenger for a Sunday paper and maybe to George Blue ' s for a shoeshine. The Rendezvous is gone and Eddie Doom ' s is out of fashion but they may get a passing word from some old railbird. Harry Goldsmith will stand out in front and talk and his store will have bright ties and socks and newspaper clippings or a letter posted inside or in the window. At four, people will go to typing class and wonder at the injustice of schedules that take afternoons. There will always be more women than men In Fredlocks and the opposite in the Spot (or has the war altered that?) The landscape behind Elizabeth Moore will become celestial af night with cigarettes for stars. There will be politics and paint and hard feelings in April. People will eat at Communtzi ' s on Sunday and someone will invariably come in with a suitcase, ex- hausted from a trip to Charleston. The days will get warm and Cheat will invite as will the White House, the Rainbow, and the Oaks (if they still operate). Some people will just take walks and maybe this year they will get the tennis courts in shape. Those were the things that happened once each Spring when I knew school . I guess that is the stuff of which my faith is made. I hope those things still go on for that ' s the part of the world for which I fight, if there Is anything to that worn phrase. That is, if I had to say why I want decency to succeed I should have to say In order that such things may survive in the world. Be my eyes for this spring that I may not miss it.

MILLSOP Weirton Steel Company ' s president, Thomas E. Milisop, is one of the youngest men in the United States to head a major steel company. His career in the steel industry started when he was a boy just out of school and, except for the period of his mili- tary service during the first World War, he has never been away from it. In addition, Mr. Milisop has had experience in every branch of the steel business. In the actual production of steel, he has worked in the mill, been a salesman, a sales executive, a production executive and an administrator. He has also been connected with a raw materials supplier and a steel fabricating firm. Mr. Milisop Is 48 years old, having been born on December 4, 1898, In Sharon, Pa. At the age of 15, he started to work as a laborer in the open hearth department of the Carnegie Steel Company at Sharon. This was followed by open hearth jobs with the same company at Farrell, Pa., then with the American Steel Foundry at Sharon. When the United States declared war on Germany, Mr. Milisop enlisted In the U. S. Marine Corps. He served as a flier until he was mustered out In May 1919. Later in that year he returned to Sharon and went to work as a riveter with +he Standard Tank Car Company. He remained with this company for five years and was promoted successively to foreman, assistant purchasing agent and purchasing agent. In July 1924, he entered the scrap business with the Rotter-Spear Company of Cleveland, Ohio, where he remained for a year and a half, leaving to return to the Standard Tank Car Company as production manager. Mr. Milisop first became connected with the Weirton Steel Company on December I, 1927 as a salesman. Pro- gressively, he became assistant sales manager, assistant to the president and vice president. In June 1936, following the death of the late John C. Williams, Mr. Milisop was elected president of the company. In addition to Weirton Steel Company, Mr. Milisop Is an executive of a number or other related companies. He is vice president and director of the National Steel Corporation, and president and director of Weirton Improvement Company, Weirton Coal Company, Oak Hill Supply Company and the National Steel Products Company of Hous- ton, Texas. He also is director of the Federal Reserve Bank, Fourth District, Cleveland, Ohio; a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute, and a trustee of Bethany College. Under the leadership of Mr. Milisop the Weirton Steel Company made a distinguished record in World War II. The Company and Its employees stepped far outside the Industry during the war to process magnesium, brass, silver chlo- ride, eight-inch howitzer shells and atomic bomb material after many other companies either refused to attempt the projects or had failed in their attempts. Weirton employees, who did not lose one minute of production time in all of World War II, made war steel in record-breaking tonnages. The company and its employees won three bestowals of the Army-Navy Production Award — the E Flag with two silver stars. Other honors conferred included the Navy Ordinance Development Award. It Is with pride in a distinguished citizen of our State and Nation that we honor Thomas Elliott Milisop.

The first blast furnace west of the Alleghenies was established by Peter Tarr In 1790 on King ' s Creek, just north of the present site of Welr- ton. This famous furnace, with a capacity of not more than two tons a day, cast the cannon balls used by Commodore Perry against the British In the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. Today, In West Virginia, the steel Industry is centered in the Northern Pan- handle, almost within sight of the decaying relic of Peter Tarr ' s blast furnace. mem- sAt;K TO SCHOOL IT ' S A GRA] D OLD SCHOOI AT MORGAXTOWK BACK TO WORK BACK TO PLAY Md Ec l of ii . . .

Morgantown Secretary OUR N E W PRESIDENT STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY The face of the world has changed greatly since the time the class of 1947 entered the University as freshmen. For many of you the progress of education was interrupted for one or more years. Some of those who started with you did not return; and those of you who did had a deeper insight into life than many men who graduated ahead of you. The class of 1947 enters an unsettled world. There Is change, and the promise of change, everywhere; but change, like the game of chairs we played as children, gives the newcomer his opportunity. It is a challenge to the graduate who has the energy and imagination to put his intellectual equipment and training to its best use. hach person must decide for himself what constiutes the best use. I am confident that a fair share of the gradu- ates of West Virginia University will take their places in advancing and stabilizing the relation- ships among men and among nations, in adding to the total of human knowledge, and in seeing that this knowledge is disseminated and used to the advantage of mankind. Your University, too, has been a part of the changing scene. The greatly increased demands which have been made upon it have taxed physi- cal facilities and mental ingenuity. The student body has done a remarkable job of adjusting to overcrowded conditions on the campus and has done it with good will. This adaptability and resourcefulness in itself is a fine preparation for the new life opening before you. As you go forth, you take with you the con- tinuing interest and good wishes of your Uni- versity ' s administrative and teaching staff. We shall follow your progress with pride and shall look forward, with pleasure, to your continuing interest in West Virginia University, which is a part of each of you, just as you will always be a part of it. CHARLES THOMPSON NEFF Vice-President J. EVERETT LONG Registrar RICHARD ASPINALL Director of Student Affairs ADMINISTRATION Through its many departments West Virginia University insures its students a wide variation of courses from which to choose a vocation. These departments are presided over by com- petent, well-trained leaders who have had years of experience in their particular fields, and to whom the students look for inspiration and giud- ance. In these postwar years the greatest premium is placed upon leadership. As in the West Vir- ginia of past days which was notable for the quality of her leaders, so in the present day West Virginia does it become increasingly evident that THOMAS p. HARDMAN College of Law ROLAND PARKER DAVIS College of Engineering CLAYTON R. ORTON College of Agriculture FRIEND E. CLARK Chairman of Graduate Council ANDREW J. DADISMAN Director of tlie Summer Session JOSEPH LESTER HAYMAN College of Pharmacy those qualities of leadership have not diminished. At the present time, the University is on the threshold of an unprecedented expansion both in enrollment and facilities. Leading this expan- sion is the administration. Under their guidance, the University is growing. It has been their aim always to lead the way for advancement through high faculty standards, expansion of classroom facilities, and a unified single-minded administra- tion. The accomplishments of its members have won for It respect inside and outside of West Virginia.

The 1947 staff, made up entirely of students, was for the most part inexperienced but it was through their work and efforts that this years ' book was made possible. It is only right that the more active members should receive the recognition which they deserve. Among the more active were Peggy Provins, Mickey Furfari, Bob Johnson, Jody Comstock, Joan hiively, Steve Mate, Bill Phillips, Ernest Lake, and Jim Coughlin. Johnny Batlas and Bob Calvert spent much time on photography throughout the book and Annette Rosenberg designed the cover. The Moun- taineer sketches used throughout were drawn by Harriet Wiede- busch. We wish to express our appreciation to hlugh and A. L.

The construction and the design of scenery, under the gui- dance of Robert Prendeville, also gives the members of the University players practical experience in the tech- nical end of the Theatre.

The West Virginia Chapter was established from a local organization, Mu Delta Mu, which had existed on campus for over five years. In May of 1927 the local organization went National and Upsilon chapter came into existence. Phi Sigma Delta was founded at Columbia University on November 10, 1909. The Fraternity has a national membership of almost ten thousand and has chapters main- tained in nearly two dozen of the larger schools in the country. The official flower is the carnation and the official colors are purple and white. West Virginia chapter of Phi Sigma Delta conducted a fine rushing season. Twenty- seven men were pledged in the Fall and an additional seven men were pledged at the beginning of the scond semester. With fifty- eight men in the chapter, the Phi Sigma Deltas stand as the largest Jewish fraternity to own a place on the University mpus. This year the chapter celebrated a dual anniversary. The twenty-fifth year on campus and the twentieth year birthday as a part of Phi Sigma Delta was com- memorated by a big formal dance. Founder ' s Day banquet, and a week end of house parties. During the war years the chapter remained active on campus with less than a handful of men. Through the efforts of a strong alumni association the home on Spruce Street was purchased and the chapter moved into the house at the beginning of the 1946 Fall semester. The Phi Sigma Deltas have taken an active part in campus intramural sports. This year they made another record at the Field FHouse by winning the handball champion- ship for the eleventh consecutive year. The intramural department of the University introduced a new league in competition of pledgees this year. Upsilon pledgees took the pledge handball cup to make a dual victory for the chapter in 1946-47. The Upsilon chapter executive officers are: Stanley Friedman, Master Frater; Albert Newman Vice-Master Frater; Sanders Levine, Treasurer: Donal Z. Israel, Secre- tary.

Pi Lambda Phi was founded at Yale University in 1895. Mu chapter at West Virginia University received its charter in 1922. Receiving a charter ended a six year attempt to obtain national recognition. An original petition was made in 1916, but the first World War held up negotiations. In 1920 Morton hHyman, one of the charter members, reorganized the club. On May 3, 1922, West Virginia Mu was created. During the war years the chapter carried on with a minimum number of persons. Eight men were initiated by another chapter and so kept the fraternity from total eclipse. Mu chapter had a most successful rushing season this fall, and member- ship is now at Its highest level. There are 41 active members on campus at the present time. The men of PI Lambda Phi have distinguished themselves since their reactivation. Morton Union is freshman class president; five members of the fraternity are in Fi Batar Cappar; five In Sphinx, and others in pre-med, physics and journalism honoraries.

The fraternity was first established at the Virginia Military Institute on January I, 1869. The fraternity has a living membership of over 50,000, and has ninety-nine active chapters scattered over forty-six states. West Virginia Gamma PI chapter began a most successful year by pledging thirty- four men with the black, white and gold. The five hundreth man to receive the White Star from Gamma Pi was initiated this year. An interesting event of the season was a three chapter initiation which was held at Bethany College in the fall. Samuel G. Coram and Robert Skaggs were Initiated at this time along with men from Epsllon chapter at Bethany College and Delta Sigma chapter at the Carnegi Institute of Technology. Gamma PI social life was well taken care of by Social Chairman Norris B. Groves. An open house was held after every home football game and a dinner for visiting alumni was given on hHomecoming day. The active chapter was host to the pledges at the annual Christmas dinner, at which time the housemother, Mrs. M. S. Mayfield, was presented with a miniature Sigma Nu pin. The climax of the social season was the annual White Rose Formal which was held March 29 at the Hotel Morgan Ballroom. The thirty-second Bi-Annual Grand chapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity was held last June 26 through 29 at the Edgewater Beach hlotel in Chicago, Illinois. Frank S. Hewitt and Don K. Marchand represented Gamml Pi chapter. Members of Sigma Nu have been active in campus affairs this year. Eugene Shoulders was elected to Phi Epsilon Phi, National Botany honorary; Andrew McClung was chosen to be a member of Alpha Zeta, national Agricultural honorary; and Don Marchand was honored by membership in Alpha Psi Omega, National Dramatic honorary. This year the fraternity was led by the following officers: Commander Frank S. Hewitt, Lieutenant-Commander Harold A. Collins, Treasurer A. C. McClung, Re- corder Don Marchand, Chaplain Jack D. Taylor, and Marshall Charles W. Collins. SIGMA 244 ' vt ' ' ' - j (Ti 1 A C) t . Oi o f a .

Since then over 25,000 members have been included in its 75 active chapters. West Virginia Beta Chapter v as granted a charter in 1903 and was active on the campus until June of 1943 when it was de-activated for the duration of the war. In September of 1945 the chapter was re-established in the temporary house on College Avenue and grew steadily throughout the year. Starting in September of 1946, thirty actives composed of new members and pre-war members who had returned, moved the residence to its permanent location on Willey Street. The chapter enjoyed a successful fall rush season which raised its total membership V | t?ro 70 actives and pledges. The fraternity was active in all campus activities — winning fourth place in inter-fraternity athletics and capturing first place in the annual Sphinx ' Talent Show. The highlight of the social season for the fraternity was the annual IP Ifpring formal and banquet held at the Hotel Morgan. Intermission ceremonies in- cluded the naming of Miss Sally Stewart as the Sweetheart of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Through active participation of active pledges and alumni and with special regard for the services of Mr. Richard Pharr, District Governor of the fraternity and a resi- dent of Morgantown, the fraternity has accomplished a great deal in its progress from the state of inactivity brought on by the war. With continued cooperation of its actives, pledges, and alumni the near future shall see Sigma Phi Epsilon with a new chapter house and an organization which in coming years will achieve even greater and more far reaching successes. The fraternity officers for the year 1946-47 were: President, Robert Dunning; Vice President, Aaron Browning; Comptroller, William Sloan; Secretary, George Shumaker; Marshalls, Sam Madia and Wayne Daugherty; Social Chairman, Robert Poole; and Guard, Robert Summerfield.

The national fraternity was founded at Illinois Wesleyan in 1899 and consists of 40 active chapters. The official colors of Tau Kappa Epsilon are cherry and grey, and the official flower is the red carnation. This year has been mainly a reorganization year for the Tekes who were Inactive during the war. Social activities started with a dinner and party during homecoming week-end. Other informal parties were held during the year. The annual Founders ' Day Banquet was held at the Hotel Morgan In March, and the annual Spring Formal was held April 18. New Pledges were honored at a spaghetti dinner, and a smoker was held for them in the chapter house. Members of Tau Kappa Epsilon have distinguished themselves In various ways since their re-organlzation. George Barrick is a member of Scabbard and Blade, national Military hlonorary, Fi Batar Cappar, Mock honorary, and Sphinx. Ray Waters was named president of the National Collegiate Spike Shoe Society; he is one of the two veteran track men to return and is sporting a WVU sweater. Mike Barrick was chosen president of Sons of the American Revolution. Beck Campbell made his debut as Teke Mountaineer at hlomecoming. Other Teke athletes are first baseman Joe Bir- mingham who Is starring his second year on the West Virginia diamond; football player Tubby Williams, and golfer Mike Krak. Joe Miller was a first-rate intramural bowler.

Hawley, a graduate of West Virginia Uni- versity in 1926, has been director of athletics since Au- gust, 1938, succeeding Harry A. Stansbury who resigned. Known to most West Virginians as just Legs, he served as Alumni Secretary from 1934 to 1938. Before that, Hawley was director of athletics at Marshall College in Huntington from 1926 to 1933. He was quite a basket- ball and baseball player in his undergraduate days at the University and, in later years, played a lot of golf in his spare time. Hawley kept football alive here during the war years. William Franklin (Bi Kern is ready to begin his fifth MOUNTAINEER FOOTBALL COACHING STAFF Left to Right: Lee Patton. Pete Yost, Emil Narick.

A graduate of the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh, he came to the University in 1940. hte left the campus in July ' 43 to enter the Naval Re- serve, but returned to the grid helm last fall. Kern learned football from Dr. John B. (Jock) Sutherland of Pitt, playing as a tackle on the powerful Panther teams of ' 25, ' 26 and ' 27. hie went to Wyoming as line coach upon graduation from Pitt, then took a fling at pro ball with Green Bay Packers, hie returned to Pitt as Suther- land ' s assistant In ' 30, and took over as head football coach at Carneqie Tech in ' 37. hie was named coach of the year that season. Lee Patton Is the newest member of the University coaching staff, hie came here two years ago to trv his hand at college coaching, hlis results are remarkab ' e. In his first season, Patton led the team through an e ' ' - cellent season and Into the National Invitation Tourna- ment. The cagers lost but two names and won third place In the tourney. Last winter Patton engineered the guintet to 18 victories in 19 starts — the best basketball record In Gold and Blue history His boys won only one game In the N.I.T., however. Patton came to the Uni- versity from New York state, where he coached a prep school for one year. Before that, he served as athletic director and coach at Princeton, W. Va. High School for 14 years, hie helped Kern with the football coach- ing chores last fall. Ira Errett Rodgers is the dean of the coaching staff so far as length of service Is concerned, hie has coached baseball for 22 years and has been either assistant or head football coach since 1921, when he began his coach- ing career as an assistant to Mont M. Mclntyre. Since last fall, however, Rodg has been III and unable to coach. Charles hlockenberry is acting baseball coach In Rodgers ' absence. As an undergraduate, Rodg was the only Mountaineer football player ever to be honored on the official All-Amerlcan team. He was equally outstanding In basketball and baseball. He holds the unusual dis- tinction of having captained football, basketball and baseball teams, as well as being All-America, all In the same year. Art Smith has coached track at the University since 1924. He has had little material with which to work but he has developed several outstanding athletes. Smith also serves as trainer for the football and basketball teams. Before coming to West Virginia, he coached at the University of Maine, Michigan State College, and Iowa State. Smith attended Buffalo University and also spent two years at Penn specializing In medicine. In col- lege track, he excelled at the hurdles, the two sprints, the quarter mile and discus. He played football In high school. Albert (Whitey) Gwynne resumed his duties as wrestling coach after serving in the Navy during the war. He has been Mountaineer mat coach since February, 1934. Gwynne took over while captain of the ' 34 team in his final season. His ' 36 sguad won all seven matches to become the first and only unbeaten one in the history of West Virginia wrestling. Besides wrestling, he played football for W.V.U. Gwynne was named trainer for the football squad during spring drills this year. Forrest B. Crane joined the Mountaineer staff as of- fice-ticket manager and director of athletic publicity in ' 42. He served in the Navy during the war. Crane, a graduate of Fairmont College In ' 33, was connected with the Fairmont newspapers for ten years. He accepted a promotional publicity position with the Monogahela System in ' 37 and held it until he came here. Crane handles all home game tickets and athletic publicity. 255 1 I Preese fades fo pass in the Syracuse game as Corum and Kuhayda block. SEASON ' S RESUME If you consider the material that was on hand, the schedule, and the results, the University ' s 1946 football Mountaineers put in a pretty fair year. Pretty fair? Why, It was better than many others. It marked the return to the campus of foot- ball on a big scale. Returned from the wars were veterans from the ' 42 season, several newcomers and even hHead Coach Bill Kern himself. Kern, who did a turn in the Navy, took a good look at the grid situation upon his return and im- mediately warned one and all not to expect too much. The team ' s a year away, Blond Bill burst forth time and time again. To add insult to in- jury, or vice versa, the injury jinx popped up before the season got under way. It hit the two most promising backs — George (Bud) Freese and CHARLES SCHRADER PETER ZINAICH JOE KUHAYDA GUIDO D ' VECCHIS TOM KEANE VIC BONFILI GEORGE FREESE JIM DEVONSHIRE Clark is set for a pass which he ca+ches in the game with Waynes- burg. Arrow points to ball. A Syracuse back chalks up some yardage as Spelock, Kulakowski, Corum and Zinaich close in to bring him down. Jimmy Devonshire — and four or five other backfield hopefuls. The line — where we were strongest — wasn ' t touched too much, except that tackle Vic Peelish, only senior on the squad, had to quit in mid-season because of a bad knee. The team never was at full strength. Anyway, the result was a five-won, five-lost finish to one of the toughest football schedules a West Virginia team has ever tackled In modern years. That satisfied most of the Mountaineer fans after everything was considered, but not Bill Kern. The Gold and Blue mentor is bent on racking up a much better mark before he loses the current crop of pigskinners. West Virginia, 13; Otterbein, 7 It all started in the opening game with Otter- bein College. The Westerville, Ohio eleven took the Mountaineers by surprise as thousands of sweating fans l ooked on in amazement at the Stadium. Freese gave us a 7-0 lead before Otterbein tied it in the second quarter. It was give-and-tuck in the third round, but Joe Kuh- ayda moved into scoring territory in the last quarter to cop the verdict, 13-7. Incidentally, It ' s tough going, but Devonshire manages to gain on an off-tacltle play despite the close-in ot several Syracuse players. 257 RESUME the Ohioans went back home and hurdled the remainder of their foes in impressive fashion. West Virginia, 7; Pittsburgh, 33 The cave fell in on the Mountaineers in the Panthers ' lair at Pittsburgh. But it didn ' t until West Virginia had sent its supporters into a wild frenzy by grabbing a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter. Then it happened. Pitt quickly tied the count on a 98-yard return of the following kickoff, went out front two minutes later, and added two more touchdowns before the half. The only bright spot, aside from the short-lived 7-0 lead, was a 8-7 edge in first downs. West Virginia, 42; Waynesburg, Using the T formation for the first time, Kern ' s gridders enjoyed a field day at the ex- pense of the visiting Jackets. The Gold and Blue clicked as it pleased, scoring in every quarter and looking impressive as it did so. Six different players accounted for the touchdowns and little Charley Becca came through with his conversions from placement. West Virginia, 6; Washington and Lee, Both teams were looking for breaks in the traditional contest at Charleston ' s Laidley Field. They had to because of a steady downpour Devonshire smashes through for a touchdown against Waynesburg at the Stadium. Bonfili leaps with a Waynesburg player to bat down a pass tossed by another of the Yellowiaclcet gridders. which turned the turf into a sea of mud. Well, to make a long story short, Gene Remenar, sub- lineman, got the break which paid off. He re- covered a W and L fumble on the W and L 16-yard line, and Dick Hoffman drove and skidded his way to the I before crossing the goal line. West Virginia, 0; Temple, 6 In its best performance up to that game. West Virginia did everything but win the night contest with Temple in Philadelphia. Our fav- Freese circles right end for yardage as the Mountaineers defeat Mountaineer Football Squad orltes outran, outpassed, outplayed and out- classed the Owls. Temple scored on a pass in the third quarter, however, and West Virginia never could come back. Everytime the Moun- taineers neared the Temple goal — which was often — something always happened to cut short each drive. It just wasn ' t our night. West Virginia, 13; Syracuse, It wasn ' t supposed to happen — Syracuse was a 12-point pre-game favorite. But it was home- coming on the campus and homecoming means much — no matter who stacks up as opposition. The Gold and Blue showed a lot of improve- ment in downing the Orange from New York. A crowd of 18,000 saw the gridders outplay Syracuse in every department of the game, scoring six points In the second quarter and seven in the last. Devonshire and BIddle chalked up the touchdowns and Becca place-kicked the extra point. It was a happy homecoming; it was a sad homegoing for Syracuse. Ot+erbein !n the season ' s opener.

Army, the nation ' s No. I gridiron power, used its first team for three quarters before turning back the Mountaineers by three touchdowns. West Virginia displayed brilliantly against heavy odds and gained much national recognition. It missed scoring twice on tough breaks, but this misfortune was overshadowed by the all-round gallant performance. Leo Benjamin, you know, won the center position on Army ' s all-opponent team. V est Virginia, 39; Fordhann, Thirteen thousand shivering fans were treated to a brilliant display of scoring, blocking and tackling as the Fordham Rams took it on the chin, 39-0, in the Stadium. Saying that it was a lop-sided affair is putting it mildly. Fordham, which was held to a net gain of two yards all afternoon, didn ' t even come close to scoring. The Mountainers, meantime, rolled to six touch- downs with Jim Devonshire, Guido DeVecchis and George (Bud) Freese showing the way. West Virginia, 0; Kentucky, 13 But the Fordham massacre was to be the last point-making exhibition of the season. There was little ioy thereafter. Kentucky, on the strength of two touchdowns by freshman Don Phelps, defeated the Gold and Blue in rain and mud at Lexington. West Virginia held a 5-4 edge in first downs and that was about all. Mountaineer fumbles aided the Wildcat cause. West Virginia, 0; Virginia, 21 The season came to an end with the Kernmen on the short end of the score in a game with Virginia at Charlottesville.

MOUNTAINEER BASKETBALL SEASON LELAND BYRD FRED SCHAUS It was a great team that gave the University its best basketball record in Gold and Blue history last winter. Coach Lee Patten ' s cagers dunnped 18 of 19 foes during the regular season — a task done well enough to warrant the No. I bid to the National In- vitation Tournament. We didn ' t win the tournament — best we could do was wind up in fourth place. But the basketbaliers brushed aside Bradley Tech in the first round, then gave Utah eventual winner) many rough moments before losing the semi- final go by two points, 64-62. North Carolina State took the con- solation contest. The Madison Sguare Garden losses were disappointing, to say the least. Yet, loyal Mountaineer fans got to thinking that per- haps they had expected too much of the classy cagers. The upshot was a huge Welcome Home, Mountaineers ' celebration that was worthy of a championship club. It looked like bargain day or a fire sale as students, townspeople and others crowded tHigh Street for the welcoming festivities. Everything worked out smoothly, receiving Statewide publicity and praise. And that just about closed the book on the word basketball ; closed, that is, until Patton rolls out another edition in December. Fireball Freddie Schaus grabbed a page in the book before it was closed.

As if that wasn ' t enough for one term, Freddie went on to reach within six points of the season point- making mark of 377 points held by Joe Walthall. He passed Rudy Baric ' s total on the way. You ' ll be hearing a lot more about Schaus before he ' s through. Captain Leiand Byrd trailed Schaus ' 37 1 -point total with 267 points on 110 field goals and 47 free throws. Bill Zirkel. who withdrew from the University shortly after the season ended was third in the individual scoring column with 262 markers. He zipped in 107 doubledeckers and 48 charity tosses. Eddie Beach, a freshnnan, was the only other player to work into the three- figure group, registering 215. Yes, Patten did wonders with his ' 46- ' 47 squad. He built his first five with three freshmen — Schaus, Zirkel and Beach — around Byrd and Clyde Green, members of ' 45- ' 46 quintet. None of the cagers are to be graduated this year, so things should be bright again next season. Bright? That ' s an understatement — we hope. WEST VIRGINIA, 85; FAIRMONT STATE, 45 The Mountaineers had an easy night of it as they copped the opener. There were several glaring mistakes, however, and these gave Patton something to work at before the next assignment. WEST VIRGINIA, 76; CARNEGIE TECH, 37 A visit to Pittsburgh found little opposition. Oh, the Tartans were tough — for a couple of minutes. But the Pattonmen soon got going. They wiped out a 6-0 deficit, then started pouring it on as they liked. WEST VIRGINIA, 81; MARYLAND. 41 It was a rough game — one that brought bacic football memories. But the Marylanders were the ones who did the knocking, al- though to no avail. Our fast break clicked too smoothly to give them any time to think about anything. WEST VIRGINIA, 40; PENN STATE, 37 What a game. Penn State tried to control the ball through- out, and, surprisingly, did right well. Its slow, deliberate style of play topped the Pattonmen for three quarters. The Lions had a 23-17 lead at half time and a two-point margin in the third period. Byrd fired in two long shots late in the fourth quarter to turn the tide. WEST VIRGINIA. 88; SALEM. 48 Patton used 14 players in this one. 13 of them scoring.

Schaus and Carroll topped the scorers with 15 and 14 points, respectively. referring to the Mountaineers as a definite tournament selection. One writer said: They have the class, the color and a favor- able schedule. WEST VIRGINIA, 91; BETHANY, 34 Anything but an Interesting game. It didn ' t take the Bisons long to learn the Gold and Blue was boss. The 91 points was the highest total to date. Bethany never was in the running.

WEST VIRGINIA, 85; TEMPLE, 47 An annual visit to Philadelphia turned out to be one of the University ' s best performances of the season. The cagers just couldn ' t miss. Everything cllclced to perfection, despite the fact that Schaus had a bad night. W.V.U. made a big hit with Quaker City fans. WEST VIRGINIA, 76; MORRIS HARVEY. 45 Patton started his second team which played 27 of the 40 minutes. The regulars appeared late in the third quarter and finished the game. Morris Harvey was never ahead, however, livery W.V.U. man broke into the scoring column. WEST VIRGINIA, 52; PITTSBURGH. l The Panthers tossed a scare into us (as all Pitt teams usually do). They tried to control the ball to slow up our offense. As a result, the Pattonnnen had to come from behind for the verdict. Action was delayed four times by arguments. WEST VIRGINIA, 55; NAVY, 57 Navy did it! The Middies snapped the W.V.U. victory streak at 12 straight, dumping the Mountaineers from the list of the unbeaten. Navy managed a 30-28 lead after a seesaw first Duff tries an under-handed shot In the Garden tournament ' s semi-final game with Utah.

West Virginia took command in the second round only to see the Middies come from behind In the last five minutes. It was a heartbreaker If there ever was one. WEST VIRGINIA, 90; WASHINGTON JEFFERSON, 40 The Mountaineers rebounded from the Navy defeat in fine fashion. They completely dominated play in the W. and J. game at Washington. Pa. The Presidents had high hopes, but ' s that ' s all. Bob Jackson gave ' em a fancy show — just in case the team ' s power wasn ' t enough to convince. WEST VIRGINIA, 80; TEMPLE, 60 Although never ahead, Temple made it difficult for West Virginia. The Mountaineers had a lO-poInt lead at the half, then clicked with their fast break in the second half to keep matters well In hand. Field goals were 31-27 In favor of W.V.U., with the Owls far behind in foul shots. Schaus got 26 points. Up goes Byrd for two points In the second Pitt tussle. A shot Is attempted by St. Francis as Schaus and Zlrlel await the rebound. WEST VIRGINIA, 55; PENN STATE, 51 It was another hair-raiser in the contest at State College, Pa. Our boys had to roar from behind in the final minutes to make victory certain. Beating Penn State on its own floor malces a team ' s season In Itself. WEST VIRGINIA, 83; WASHINGTON JEFFERSON. 56 W. and J. couldn ' t do It again. The Mountaineers led by 42-14 at the half. Then Fatten resorted to reserves, but still the Prexies failed in their efforts to catch up. Thirteen West Virginia players saw action. WEST VIRGINIA, 72; PITTSBURGH, 59 Beat Pitt was the battle cry. And the Pattonmen did just that. Not before a battle, however. The Panthers again tried to trim us by controlling the ball, but we widened the gap after a close first half before reserves finished the job. It was a cheerful night In Morqantown. WEST VIRGINIA, 92; CARNEGIE TECH, 48 The outclassed Tartans likely felt as though they should have stayed home. Reserves played a big part of the game for our side, although this didn ' t keep the contest from remaining dull. Incidentally, the 92-point total was the highest of the season. NATIONAL INVITATION TOURNAMENT West Virginia slipped a couple of times in the first round clash with Bradley Tech, but managed to hit consistently enough for a 69-60 verdict. Then came Utah In the semi-finals — and down we went. It was a battle to the final gun, however. The truth Is we were below par again and trailed most of the way. We did come to life In the second half, but it was too late. Utah won, 64-62. West Virginia moved to the consolation game after that one. It started out In good form against North Caro- lina State, fell behind at halftime. narrowed the difference In the second half to two points, and finally faded in the waning mo- ments. Anything can happen In basketball — and It did to us In the tournament. But look over the regular season results again. Weren ' t they rosy? 267 1946 Baseball Team 1946 BASEBALL Coach Errett Rodgers ' baseballers enjoyed an excellent season last spring, winning six of eight contests during the abbreviated cannpaign. Six other gannes on the schedule were either rained out or cancelled because of wet grounds. The ' 46 team returned baseball to the campus for the first time since ' 42. That ' s when athletic officials dis- carded the diamond sport for the duration of the war. Rodg ' s team won only two and lost nine that year, all of which makes the ' 46 season all the more impressive. Okey Ryan and hloward Beverly took turns at the pitching assignments, with veteran Vic Krenosky furnish- OKEY RYAN BORIS BELPULITI BOB JOHNSON 268 ing relief. Ryan won three of the four games he worked while Bev notched two victories in three trips to the mound. Vic had tough luck all season, falling in his ef- forts to get back into pre-war form. Bob Johnson, veteran centerfielder, paced the Moun- taineers in hitting. Bob registered nine bingles in 20 times at bat for a fat .450 average. Joe Birmingham, regular first baseman, followed closely with .438. He smacked out 14 safeties in 32 tries. Catcher hiank Her- rington batted at a .424 clip. Opening the season in mid-April after several delays, the Mountaineer nine en- joyed a field day at the expense of West Virginia VVes- leyan. West Virginia took the first game of the double- he ader, 12-4, then followed up with a 10-3 decision in the nightcap. It was a lot of power for a cold day during which snow flurries fell and wintry breezes blew. St. Vincent College of Latrobe, Pa., was the next op- ponent to take it on the chin, the Mountaineers winning by 6-4. Then came Bethany and another explosion of power — by the Rodgersmen, that is. West Virginia trimmed the Bison to the tune of 22-2. It was an easy one for all — except Bethany. A jinx from way back, Pitt stopped the Gold and Blue streak in West Virginia ' s fifth start of the season. The Panthers clawed us by 3-1 at Pitt Stadium, but Rodg still thinks we let that one slip through. Pitt bunched its hits: West Virginia didn ' t. That proved the deciding factor. The same thing happened at State College, Pa., where Penn State nosed out a 5-4 victory. Ryan turned In a good pitching performance and the team was hitting, but we failed to cash In with the scoring opportunities that popped up. That was to be the last defeat of the season, however. West Virginia unmercifully twisted the tail of the Salem Tiger upon its return to the Athletic Field a few days later. The score was 18-2. And the campaign came to an end with an 11-3 walloping of Shepherd College ' s hapless diamondmen. Two games remained on the schedule with Pitt, but Inclement weather forced can- cellation. Rodg and the boys would have given anything to get back at the Panthers in those games. Who wouldn ' t have?

Harold, TRACK AND WRESTLING A layoff during the war years didn ' t hamper the sport of track at the University. The revival of the cinder event this past spring was a grand success, Coach Art Smith ' s green squad win- ning three of its four meets. The veteran Smith built an impressive combine around one re- turning letterman, miler Ray Waters. Several outstanding prospects showed up well during the season, and they promise greater things within a year or two. Top member of the squad was Jack Morton, fleet-footed athlete from Parkersburg. He paced the scoring in each of the Mountaineers ' encounters. The University trackmen won their last three engagements after dropping the opener. The defeat came in a triangular invitational meet in Cleveland, where Case came through with S8 ' 2 points — one more than registered by the Gold and Blue. Carnegie Tech was third with 36. Washington and Lee was defeated by 92 ' 2 to 29 ' 2 in a dual meet at the Stadium, and Geneva met similar resistance in its appearance on the campus. The Pennsylvania school dropped an 88I 2 to 28I 2 decision. Coach Smith ' s squad wound up the season by capturing the Trl-State championship In the meet at Beaver Falls, Pa. The Mountaineers finished with 52 ' 2 points, easily passing Carnegie Tech which was second with 25 points. SCHEDULE Case 58 ' 2, West Virginia 57 ' 2, Carnegie Tech 36.

WRESTLING Wrestling made an informal reappearance on the University campus last winter with a schedule of four matches and an Invita- tion to the Case School of Medicine fournamenf in Cleveland. Albert (Whitey) Gwynne, veteran mat coach, returned from Navy service to revive the sport. Although his boys didn ' t win any of the four matches, Whitey was quite pleased with the Interest and progress shown by the squad. They did right well after getting started late, and should reach top form In another year or two. Gwynne Is determined, as always. The Mountaineers dropped the first match to Waynesburg by 38-0, but scored In each of the remaining engagements. Case won 28-6, Washington and Lee by 24-6, and Waynesburg In a return match by 26-6. Mario Ferraro, 165 pounds, was the outstanding member of the squad, winning three of his four matches. He scored a fall over his Case opponent and registered decisions in the second Waynesburg match and against Washington and Lee. Junior DeAntonIs, 145 pounds, won a decision against Waynesburg; KImbel Godfrey outpointed his Case foe, and heavyweight Jim White won on points at W. L.

An impressive mark it is, considering the fact that golf was dropped after the ' 41 season because of the war. The ' 41 record was four wins and one set- back. Dr. Richard Aspinall coached the linksmen again and, of course, was more than pleased with the results. Michael Krak captained the squad and was outstanding in his performance during the season. In fact, the entire group turned in good showings as they brushed aside such teams as Westminster, Carnegie Tech and Slippery Rock. The squad included Jack Feck, Bob Coulson, Tom Stollings, Jim Spencer, Bob Spangler, Bill Morgan, Jim Blanton and Krak. Navy tagged a 9-0 defeat on the Gold and Blue links- men in their opener at Annapolis, and Slippery Rock administered a 7-2 setback in the second match. Then the Mountaineers started to roll. They outclassed West- minster, 13-2, for Victory No. I, and proceeded to win the rest of the matches, except one which ended in a tie. Carnegie Tech dropped two decisions, 12 I -2 to 2 1-2 and 9 to 0. Westminster fell a second time by 7-0. Kingwood Country Club was defeated in a close one, 6 1-2 to 5 1-2. And the Mountaineers tied Slippery Rock in a return match, atoning somewhat for the early- season reversal. In all, the University golfers rolled up a total of 59 points during the season while their opponents scored 35. DR. RICHARD ASPINALL Coach Jj n .... upreciati w In the production of a college annual the size of this year ' s MONTI- COLA, one encounters many difficulties and details which can be over- come only with the assistance of a small group of people who unselfishly give their time and technical talents to the end that the best book possible can be put out. It is to this sort of individual that we wish publically to express our sincere thanks for their invaluable assistance at a time when we needed it most. For the fine help in the designing and printing of the MONTICOLA, we are endebted to Joe Ledbetter and Mr. Benson of the Benson Printing Company in Nashville, Tennessee. Our sincere thanks also go to Mr. Russell Benson and Mr. Frederick Noer of the Indianapolis Engraving Company for the high quality engraving furnished throughout the book. Our photographic work came from several sources. Perhaps the greatest outside contribution was the photographic work on class por- traits and the beauty section furnished by Mr. Flugh and Mr. A. L. Knee. The first Kodachrome picture ever to appear in a MONTICOLA was taken by Mr. Lorren Lambert of Parsons, West Virginia, who also contri- buted other work which added materially to the photographic side of the book. Any success of this year ' s MONTICOLA must be attributed to the support of Mr. Thomas E. Mlllsop, president of the Weirton Steel Com- pany. It was through his generosity that many features were added to this book and that it was possible to send this book to the families of West Virginia University ' s honored War Dead. Our sincere thanks to all you people. The 1947 MOf lTICOLA owes much to you. ROBERT G. STRADER, Editor EDWARD T.

Indirectly, even more important work is being done on a long range program to conserve and to build up the wealth of resources of the state and to help the people make more profitable use of them. The day of extractive farming and timbering is over and we know that if West Virginia is to progress It can do so only by tremendous effort on the parts of the people.
