Western Michigan University - Brown and Gold Yearbook (Kalamazoo, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 300 of the 1949 volume:

V JB J o o SHIRLEY OSTER RAY WIERSEMA Editor Business Manager BROWN AND GOLD 1949 How Western Lives is the theme which seems to dominate the first section of the 1949 Brown and Gold and to make its way in a less obvious manner through the rest of the book. In these first few pages, we h ave attempted to show with pic- tures and cartoons the home life of Western ' s students while they are on campus. We have chosen representative people and representative situations and captured them on film. We have created typical ideas and presented them through fine line sketches. We have attempted to show the habitat of the average student — the dormi- tory, the off-campus house, the barracks, or the trailer camp. We have chosen to feature this side of the student ' s life since we believe that the student is most truly the student when relaxed in his room in an ardent discussion of class work, politics, or football with his closest associates, whether they be the fellows across the hall, the boys from his house, or his wife and child. This 44th annual edition of the Brown and Gold contains pictures and infor- mation from many sides of the student ' s life. His club and societ y affiliations, the athletic events and dances which he attends, and the individuals with whom he comes in contact are represented. We have planned this book so that each part of it might represent some aspect in the life of every student. We hope that in the years to come, the 1949 Brown and Gold will provide a true record of this year at Western. . -..

Scene from Vandercook ' s annual heap big pow-wow, the Teepee Tango. This one was complete with a life-like Indian chief. Vandercook Hall ' s 260 residents mean thaf about 65 lively poker games take place every night after 10:30! Such friendly gatherings as these do a great deal to give the dormitory a home-like atmosphere. Here these men sleep, study, play, and meet to plan their big activities of the year. Here they get eye strain from gazing through binoculars toward Spindler, but a cup of the Coffee shop ' s specialty will cure anything! VANDERCOOK HALL Walwood girls gather for a lively game of ping pong in the much- used rec room while another group congregates In one of the rooms for a study session. Green room, dining roonn, rec room, and just anybody ' s room — all are favorite places for Walwood residents to gather for a bit of relaxation and fun. Walwood hall provides a home for 170 girls and a part time home for just about that many fellows. Student counselors and an elected student government help to operate the dorm to the satisfaction of everyone. WALWOOD HALL One of Splndler ' s famous open houses keeps practically every Spindlerl+e on the hilltop for the weekend. Food, a floor show, and juke box dancing in the dining room lure the fellows. Add a little stardust, and a really gala evening develops. SPtNDLER HALL Before the dormlTorres sprang up on the hilltop a few years ago, all of Western ' s women lived in off campus houses, and now approximately half of them still live in nearby homes in groups of from two to 2 1 . Four to eight is an average number, however, and scenes such as the one above are typical as the girls gather in each other ' s rooms to study. Hours and privileges are the same as in the dormitories. A front porch is just as good a place to say good-night at 10:30 as a dorm lobby, but the walk down- town to eat is a little colder on a winter night than the walk downstairs to the dining room! OFF-CAMPUS WOMEN 10 OFF-CAMPUS MEN Most Western men know the long trek in from the barracks or the tedious climb up the Ad building steps only too well, since all but a fortunate -few of WMC ' s male population have spent part of their career on campus ' way down yonder in the barracks or in one of the many off-campus houses below the hill. The idea, of course. Is to see that one of the boys in the house has a car and a kind feeling regarding the other fellows ' feet! Shortly before the end of the first semester, all of the barracks residents were moved into the new Burnham hall. Aprons and diapers play just as big a part in -fhe lives of many of the men and women on Western ' s campus as do fhe books fhey study. With many older veterans in school, the number of married students has risen far above average in these last few years. They live in trailers and apartments, and with the aid of G. I. funds, continue school in spite of wives and children to support. Where wives are enrolled, too, the home life takes on a cooperative note, with the man of the house doing his bit to keep the housework under control. 12 Breakfast at the Parkwood; Second breakfast at the Soda Bar Hamburgs for lunch at the College Inn; Coke and a dance at the Cheerio Afternoon coffee at the Little Mich.; Dinner at the Corral CAMPUS HANGOUTS WALWOOD HALL UNION BUILDING Whether you have in mind a club nnee+ing, a coke date, a bridge game, a Men ' s Union open house, or a formal dance, the chances are that you will beat a track toward the Union Building. The building ' s meeting rooms, cafeteria, soda bar, ball- room, lobby, Davis room and Men ' s Union rooms provide a place for practically any kind of event that goes on at Western. All students may use the building, and they all seem to do so. Mr. Don Scott took over the position of manager of the Union Building at the beginning of the year. Mr. Duane Plough continued in the position of assistant mana- ger and manager of the Soda Bar. 14 lie COLLEGE Western ' s President DR. PAUL V. SANGREN I am pleased to malce a preliminary statement about the 1949 Brown and Gold. This splendid volume will serve as an additional, attractive, and authoritative record of the history of Western Michigan College during the year 1948-49. The authors of the 1949 Brown and Gold have done a fine job and I know that their work is deeply appreciated by students, alumni, and faculty. This has been another interesting and significant year at Western. Among the physical changes are the completion of a new dormitory for 500 men, the new classroom building for physics, chemistry, occupational therapy, art, and home economics, a new classroom building for music, and the beginning of construction of a new dormitory for women. These new buildings will be a great addition to the effectiveness of the educational program at Western Michigan College and will be permanent and attractive Improvements to the campus. The enrollment at the college remained stable at approximately 4000 full-time undergraduates, in spite of the loss of some 500 veterans. This establishes a trend which indicates fairly clearly the future size of the college. Some new curricular programs have been introduced, the most significant of which is the degree program In paper and pulp technology. Several new courses and course changes have been added to the currlculums, all designed to meet the modern needs of young people. Several in- teresting new student activities have appeared, significant among which are full participation in the Mid-America athletic conference, the new plan for bringing the Christmas spirit to the com- munity prior to the holidays, and better distribution and control of student parties. Capable young people have been brought to the faculty, adding to the Interest and quality of the educa- tional offerings at the college. This will be a good year for Western Michigan College and the Brown and Gold will help to make a fine record of some of these facts. PAUL V. SANGREN ADMINISTRATION 18 DR. WYNAND WICHERS A busy year has been spent by Dr. Wynand Wichers, Vice-President, in helping to plan and supervise the expansion of the college in new buildings and new curriculum additions. Dr. Wich- ers worked with a student-faculty committee this year and helped to solve the campus parking prob- lem to the advantage of both students and faculty. JOHN C. HOEKJE One of the busiest men on campus, Mr. John C. Hoekje still finds time to talk with a great many students about a great many differe nt problems each day. As Dean of Administration, Mr. Hoekje handles student registration and maintains close connections with a great many individuals and committees which handle student affairs. Mr. Hoek- je has done a great deal towards establishing Western ' s great athletic system, and is an en- thusiastic spectator at all Western athletic events. LEONARD GERNANT Mr. Leonard Sernant, assistant registrar, aids the Dean of Administration in many of the prob- lems that arise in connection with registration. He also supervises the work of the staff in the records office where grades, scholastic ratings, and other information about each student are kept. DR. GEORGE H. HILLIARD Guidance in all matters pertaining to their work at Western is given to all students, from the beginning freshman to the graduating senior, in the offices of the counseling department. Dr. George H. Hilliard, Director of Student Person- nel and Guidance, is the friendly co unselor who heads this service of the college. 19 DR. ELMER H. WILDS The administrative work of the summer session is handled by Dr. Elmer H. Wilds, Director of the Graduate Division and Summer Sessions. As Grad- uate Division head, Dr. Wilds helps graduate stu- dents in the choice of subjects and in planning their program of work. DR. JAMES GRIGGS Planning the program of training for students in the education curriculums is the job of Dr. James Griggs, Director of Teacher Education. Dr. Griggs works closely with the instructors in the education department in planning their courses. He also plac- es students in their practice teaching assignments and helps them with any problems that may arise during their assignments. DR. ELIZABETH LICHTY Now in her second year on Western ' s campus, Dr. Elizabeth Lichty, Dean of Wo- men, is well known for her friendliness and interest in the problems of each girl with whom she comes in contact. Dr. Lichty also gives a great deal of her time to the social activities on campus. RAY C. PELLETT Making plans for housing In the new Burnham Hall has been one of the duties of Mr. Ray C. Pellett, Dean of Men, throughout the year. Mr. Pellett still has many housing problems to solve, and his help in this matter and in all other student problems has made him very popular with Western ' s men. 20 .

Miss Siedschlag has been busy for the past twelve years planning the architecture, interior decoration, and furnishings for Walwood Hall Union building and residence, Vandercook Hall, Health and Personnel building, Spindler Hall, the Little theatre, and the Faculty clubhouse, in that order. This year she has worked on Burnham Hall and on plans for the new girls ' dornnltory. A member of Western ' s faculty for 28 years, Miss Siedschlag has spent a total of 38 years teaching, first in a one room country school in Genessee county, then in high schools In Buchanan and Battle Creek, and finally at Western. In decorating a building or a room, Miss Siedschlag believes that the designer must know Its purpose and the problems it presents before he begins. For whom Is it intended? What Is the purpose of the furniture? How can I make this dormitory accommodate the social life of those who live here? How shall I make room for all their possessions? Miss Siedschlag likes her work because she has complete freedom to plan things as she wishes them. In planning dormitories, she has enjoyed giving the school something it did not have for more than 30 years. As a result of her extensive planning and hard work. Western now has some of the most beautiful school buildings in the state.

THEODORE S. HENRY 1878-1948 One of Western ' s most popular and highly-respected instructors, Dr. Theodore S. Henry, was head of the psychology department for 31 years prior to his retirement in June of 1948. Dr. Henry came to Western in the fall of 1917, and was a department head for the entire length of his career at Western. At the time of his death on November 17, 1948, he was Professor Emeritus of psychology. In addition to his popularity as an instructor. Dr. Henry, in conjunction with Dean of Men Ray Pellett, was in wide demand as a humorous speaker. The Pellett-Henry combination furnished the entertainment at numerous events for many years. 86 STUDENT COUNCIL President Arnie The S+udent Council, the governing body of the Student Association to which all students belong, worked throughout the year in close harmony with the administra- tion and student committees to bring about many changes and improvements. The chief goal of the organization was to maintain a more complete, efficient student government. President Arnle Brown was an able and respected leader throughout his term of office. Upon the termination of his presidential duties. President Brown made this statement: This year Western student government has again taken its part in the expansion and progress of the school. The students have accepted more responsibility for the management and Improvement of all aspects of the college. Perhaps the most important achievement of this year ' s Council was the Leadership Conference. Here as elsewhere greater democracy and more widespread leadership appeared among the student body. Excellent cooperation from all students this year suggested what student govern- ment can accomplish in the future. Upon President Brown ' s graduation In January, the presidential duties were assumed by Vice-President Tony Ruska.

The student-faculty directory, also edited by John, was out before Thanksgiving, thereby establishing a new record for promptness of publication. A new duty of the publicity director this year was to supervise the Council dances, and to allocate dates for dances to other organizations. The Christmas season caused Council members to see the need for a special campus observance of the holiday. A committee was formed to decorate the campus and organize a carolling program. President Brown appointed Jim Thornton producer of the Brown and Gold Fantasies. In addition to the Fantasies, Council sponsored the student dances and the Corona- tion Ball at which the Homecoming queen was crowned. One of the greatest undertakings of the year was the sponsoring of the Student Leadership Conference on November 19, 1948. Tom Trainor served as chairman of the committee which planned the event. Officers of all campus organizations met at 5 p. m. in the Little Theatre for the general session of the conference. A buffet supper was served In the Walwood ballroom, after which those present split up into sectional meetings according to their office. Here campus experts endeavored to help them understand the duties of their respective offices and the best methods for carrying out those duties. Dr. Elizabeth Lichty and Mr. Carl Santoro worked closely with the committee in planning the conference. Plans have been made to turn this Student Leadership Conference Into an annual affair. 90 BROWN AND GOLD Editor Shirley Os+er Preliminary plans for the con+en+s of the 1949 Brown and Gold were begun in May, 1948 when Editor Shirley Oster was appointed by the Student Council president. Cov- ers were designed and ordered during the summer, and by the time school opened, plans were progressing carefully for the front feature section entitled How Western Lives. Shirley designed this section so that it would include aspects of the student ' s life which are usually ignored in yearbooks. In her plans to use this section to cover the home life of all types of students, Shirley received much help from Art Editor Bruce Breland and his assistant, Chuck Breed. Bruce is responsible for the page layout plans and for the division pages throughout the book, and Chuck spent his time creating the little drawings which help to brighten up the pages. Business Manager Ray Wiersema took complete charge of the financial affairs of the Brown and Gold, handling the multitude of details in a competent fashion. At the beginning of the year, the budget was made out with the help of the editor. Wiersema supervised the work of advertising salesmen Vic Bell, Cal Johnson, Dick Wilkie, and John Mines, and prepared the layout of the advertising section. Due to the efforts of the entire business staff, the advertising quota was oversold. Business Manager Ray Wiersenna 91 Photographer John Kish Photography for the Brown and Gold was handled by John Kish. Kish covered the campus diligently and spent most of his afternoons and evenings for more than three months getting pictures of the more than 70 campus organizations in addition to all of the feature and sports pictures. He never failed to produce excellent pic- tures, and some of his unusual ideas have done a great deal for the artistic side of the book. A great deal of time was spent by staff members Jerilee Denison, Becky Dragos, Kit Cockerill, VI Gilbert, Gordon Gill, Donna KowalskI, and Mickey Falvey in doing all of the miscellaneous jobs that go into producing a yearbook. They spent many hours on such things as indexing, rubber cementing pictures, and typing. Jeri Denison is responsible for writing much of the copy in the organization section. Sports coverage was in the hands of Sports Editors Russ Smith and Lindy Davis. They gathered information all fall and winter in order to present complete facts in every phase of Western ' s sports program. The athletic section of the book was planned wilh an eye to emphasizing the Mid-American Conference throughout. r Sports Staff: Llndy Da Art Staff: Bruce Breland, Chuck Breed. 1 r Upper left: Ad Salesmen: Cal Johnson, Dick Wlllcie, Vic Bell, John Mines. Upper right: Becky Dragos, Vi Gilbert, Jerilee Denison, Kit Cockerill. Right: Maxlne Falvey, Donna Kowalski, Gordon Gill. The production of such a complex book as a college annual requires a constant type of service. The editor and several of her staff members spent much of their vacation time all year in various production jobs. The entire class section was put together dur- ing Christmas vacation. Photographer John Kish spent much of his vacation time in the ofRce also, in order that an even stream of pictures could be sent to the engravers. Making arrangements for class pictures to be taken, making appointments for the pictures, scheduling organizational pictures, preparing pictures for the engraver, writing copy, indexing, drawing page layouts, and endless, endless, telephone calling are just a few of the things which kept the editor and her staff busy throughout the year. All of these various phases of staff work lead, however, to one end — the publication of a yearbook which contains a comprehensive record of the year ' s activities on the Western campus. 93 Editor Harry Contos Now in its eleventh consecutive year as an all-student publication, the Western Herald has endeavored to always present accurate tacts, constructive opinion, and judicious entertainment. Though the first issue of the Western Herald appeared in the fall of 1916; it was not until 1938 that students assumed complete financial and editorial control of the newspaper. Since that time, no censorship in any form has been placed upon it. The editor-in-chief, who formulates the Western Herald policies, is responsible to both the Student Council and the student-faculty Publications Board for the editorial content of the newspaper. Announcing the aims of the newspaper in the first issue of the school year, Editor Harry Contos, Jr., wrote: in addition to reflecting the student and faculty opinions, the Herald will en- deavor to transmit to its readers a complete coverage of campus news, unbiased analyses of local, national, or international news stories of Importance and informative or interpretive editorial opinions directed to aid the reader in forming his personal opinion on current problems.

To brighten its pages and to present campus news more clearly, the Herald increased its use of pictures. Harry Contos ' appointment by the Student Council president to his editorial position became effective in September, 1948. He first served the Herald in the capacities of reporter, feature editor, and associate editor. Under his guidance, 3500 copies of the Herald reached students, faculty, and alumni each week. The business manager ' s position was filled by Paul Watson. Charged with the responsi- bility of the Herald ' s advertising and finances, he struggled with budgets, ad layout, account records, and publication bills. His competence and loyalty took a great load off the editor ' s shoulders. The problem of news-gathering was facilitated through the assistance furnished by Miss Blanche Draper of the college publicity department. The cooperation of Mr. Lawrence Brink, printing instructor, together with that of the linotype operators and make-up men made the production of the newspaper much easier. Publication of the Herald would have been impossible without the hard work and dependability of News Editors Norbert Antosiak and John Lees. Both weekly col- umnists, they aided the editor by assuming the enormous task of news and feature story assignments, re-writes, and copyreading. THE WESTERN HERALD 95 Hard-working Sports Editor Dick Huston and his assistant, Wayne Terwilliger, a-fter a half year of excellent service, left Western ' s campus and turned over the reins of the sports section to second semester Sports Editor Jack Clysdale and Assistant Sports Editor Bill McCallum. Through the diligent efforts of photographer John KIsh, many fine scenes of campus activity were ably recorded in pictorial form. The task of circulation and mailing was supervised by Circulation Manager Frank Wilcox who, with his staff, mailed the Herald throughout the country as well as bringing the publication into the hands of campus readers each Friday morning.

Club members include O. T. students on campus and those receiving training in affiliating hospitals. Monthly programs have served to provide interest in subjects related to occupational therapy and have included films, a talk on reading interests of children and a finger- painting demonstration. With the opening of the fall semester, the club was on hand with a booth at the WMC carnival selling brown and gold yarn dolls. The club sponsored its annual Christmas sale and at the request of its patrons held a spring sale also. Articles for both were made by club members, active and affiliating. Among the outstanding activities of the club year was a Christmas party for cerebral palsied children. Club members, in conjunction with the Kalamazoo County Spastic Aid Society, acted as hosts, supplying the program and the Santa Claus. In February a nursery school for cerebral palsied children was opened at the Speech and Dramatics building. O. T. students assisted greatly in making plans for the school and have received first-hand experience in teaching handicapped children. In the spring semester twenty-five club members, sponsored by the club, went to Fort Custer for an evening of dancing with the neuro-psychiatric patients. The interest in Occu- pational Therapy fostered by such undertakings is one of the many indications of the crucial need for trained therapists. The social program included the annual Christmas coffee for members and a toboggan party in February. The club is sponsored by Miss Ann Gower, one of the new members of the O. T. stafF. Barbara Jones served as the club ' s President this year. Assisting her were Mary Jane Clark, Vice President; Barbara Hintz, Secretary; and Harriet Hague Treasurer.

It has been in continuous existence except for two years during World War II when most of the men students were under military and naval juris- diction. The purpose of the club is to award and to maintain a high level of scholarship in general subjects, and in particular in the fields of science and mathematics. Member- ship is extended to those who major in science or mathematics and who have a suffi- ciently high level of scholarship. The club is divided into the following sections: biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Each section holds meetings aside from the regular monthly meetings of the club and discusses topics of interest in its special field. The monthly meetings of the Science Club as a whole are devoted to topics of science and mathematics which are of general interest. These meetings are open to the general public. Dr. L. N. Upjohn of the Upjohn Company and Dr. Walter Mar- burger of Western ' s physics department were among the speakers to appear beforo the club.

At piano, Jack Hyde, music chairman. Radio sla+ion WMC was the setting for the production of tiie 1949 edition of the B G Fantasies in Central High School auditorium on May 12 and 13. Western ' s president dedicated the new station, and to gain needed funds, B. O. Hornblow was engaged to sponsor it. He was a soap opera fiend who was in the business of nnaking ponies for college students. Mr. Hornblow liked Irish tenors, and Mike, a K college student, was signed so that the station could offer something good in the vocal line. During the performance, a soap opera, a children ' s program of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the phantom voice, and a supper club were presented. Ed Lasko and Bob Tazelaar, as radio announcers for station WMC, had the leading roles. The romantic leads were handled by Joyce Fausnaugh and John Hines. The atmosphere of a radio station added to the authenticity of rehearsals since station WKZO turned over its facilities to the cast. In additon to the orchestra and a special dancing group, more than 30 people were needed to round out the cast. As producer, Jim Thornton coordinated the activities of Ed Marineau, director, and the music and script writers. Bruce Breland was In charge of stage designs. Under the direction of the Student Council publicity director, John Bright, the production staff of the Fantasies put out a Social Functions and Activities Calendar for the second semester, which proved to be a valuable planning guide for all students.

For this Sigma Tau received national recognition. To honor the memory of Sig Taus who gave their lives in World War II, the fraternity established the Sigma Tau Memorial Loan Fund. This fund will aid students who need financial assistance to complete their education. In October the fraternity sponsored its annual Halloween party in cooperation with the Kalamazoo Police Department. Sig Tau ' s variety show took first place in Western ' s Carnival. Members were also kept busy with the Homecoming par- ade, the stag alumni banquet, the spring White Rose dinner-dance, intramural athletics, and fraternity dances and parties.

Hyames has served as Director of Athletics at Western since he retired from coaching roles following the 1936 season. Prior to that time he had served for 15 years as head baseball coach and had shaped Western Michigan into the diamond power that it is today. As head of the Athletic Department Mr. Hyames has continued to play a leading role in the school ' s constant effort to expand its athletic program to even greater proportions. Associate Director Mitchell Mike Gary was formerly head football coach prior to his entrance into Naval service. His last team, in 1941, went through a tough eight-game schedule unbeaten and untied to rank with the finest elevens ever produced here. Upon his return from service, he was named to his present post to share the ever- Increasing burden placed upon the Department ' s head office. Under the supervision of Mr. Hyames and Mr. Gary, the department directs the major and minor curricula In physical education for men and also sponsors a varied intramural program. ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT 202 To lead them through the 1948 season, the football squad called on two seniors — fullback Art Gillespie and guard Emerson Grossman. Both were experienc- ed veterans of Western ' s football struggles, Gilles- pie having played in four previous campaigns and Grossman in three. Gillespie, who starred on some great Ann Arbor high elevens, came to Western for the 1944 and 1945 seasons as Navy trainee, and was back to con- tinue as a civilian in 1946. Grossman first entered Western in 1942 after grad- uating with All-State grid honors from Owosso high school. He played one year here before spend- ing 39 months in the Navy ' s submarine division. Then in 1946 he returned to the hilltop and last fall rounded out his fourth season as a Bronco. Football Co-Captalns for 1948— Emerson Grossman and Art Gillespit Once again the task of directing the varsity ' s activi- ties fell to Head Coach John W. Gill and his as- sistants Roy J. Wietz and Matt L. Patanelli. As in the past, Wietz handled the linemen, while Pat- anelli, newly returned to the hilltop, instructed the ends. Gill, a 1924 Western graduate, returned to his alma mater in 1928 as freshman coach. By 1935 he had become varsity backfield mentor and when Mitchell Gary entered the Navy in 1942, Gill took over the head coaching post. For the seven years of his leadership. Bronco grid teams have won 33 games while losing 18 and tying one. Wietz joined the Western staff in 1942 following nearly 15 years of coaching experience. He was a former ace guard at the University of Illinois be- tween the years 1927 and 1929. Patanelli. back at Western after a three year ab- sence, capably directs the work of the Bronco ends. He doubled in a similar capacity here in 1943 and 1944 while serving as physical fitness director for the naval training program. 204 ach Matthew Patanelli Coach John Gill Coach Roy Wietz l.jlllMIII «B«Wi - «I SB- WB ' ?Mfc ' ,Ck-f i ' B d . o 8 ,4 f f J7_ 49 € - • ' ' «f- ' s. b66. 19; 74 64 ,85 28j|39i 63 I 67 1 72. 58 t 53 Back row: Line Coach Roy Wieti; Norm Harris, Chicago; Bill Zabonick, Coldwater; George Dudifch, Detroit; Harry Hildreth, Mount Morris; Lloyd Hartman, Battle Creek; Milton Smaha, Chicago; Les Gratton, Flint; Dick Snow, Chicago; Tom Contes, Chicago; Bob Walterhouse, Ann Arbor; Trainer Ed Gabel; Manager Jim Katsacos, Kalamazoo.

It saw the Broncos embark upon a tough nine game schedule and come through with six wins as against three defeats. It also marked the Broncos ' debut in the football wars of the Mid-America Conference from which they emerged with but one defeat and a second-place tie in the final standings. Only the title-winning Miami eleven was able to down Western in league play. For the season ' s nine contests, the Broncos gathered a total of 199 points, representing an average of 22.1 points per game. Western ' s foes, on the other hand, could score but 106 markers for an 11.7 average. In national ratings, the Bronco passing attack ranked 13th in the basis of 69 completions in 170 attempts. The aerial game netted Western an average of I 19.5 yards per contest. At close of the season, the 29 players pictured above received major grid awards. In addition, added honors went to big Chuck Schoolmaster who was named to the center post on the MAC All-Star eleven. At the same time, tackle Al Micatrotto and quarterback Norm Harris were chosen to the second squad, while three other Broncos — end George Mesko, and backs Art Gillespie and Harry Hildreth — received third team positions. 205 muLsmseaoaa ' Hilt Foster scores on a quarterback sneak against Western Reserve. WESTERN 26 WESTERN RESERVE Western Michigan ' s gridmen greo+sci the new season in promising style by smashing to a 26-0 win over Western Reserve University of Cleveland. The victory had added significance, too, for it marked the Broncos ' debut into full football competition in the Mid-America Conference, and served warning that Western was not to be considered lightly by that organization. Western scored twice in the opening period against Reserve. Hilt Foster tallied on a quarterback sneak after only eleven minutes of play, and three minutes later Norm Harris connected on a 33-yard aerial to big George Mesko. Mai Pearson added one of the extra points to give the Broncos a 13-0 advantage. Two more touchdowns sewed up Western ' s first league triumph. Late in the third period, Bronco halfback Les Gratton broke loose from a quick-opening play and dashed 72 yards to the Red Cat goal. Foster ' s fourth-quarter pass to Bob Rizzardi completed Western ' s scoring. WESTERN 33 BELOIT The Broncos continued their winning ways the following week with an easy 33-0 triumph over Beloit College. Six Brown and Gold gridmen took part in the day ' s scoring as Coach Gill ' s lads overwhelmed their non-conference foes. Western dominated play from the opening whistle. After their initial drive was halted at the 15-yard stripe by a fumble, the Broncos bounced back to score a few moments later on an end sweep by Art Gillespie. The next time the Kalamazooans gained possession of the pigskin it took just six plays before Foster tallied on a sneak. The remainder of the contest was much like the initial quarter. In the second period Foster passed to Mesko for a 20-yard touchdown and a 20-0 halftime edge. The sec- ond half saw Harris and George Dunn cross Beloit ' s goal as Western completed its touchdown parade. 206 WESTERN 7 CENTRAL MICHIGAN Central Michigan was the Broncos ' third victim of the season by a slender 7-0 count before a Dads ' Day crowd of 6500 fans. The local boys ou+rushed the visitors 245 yards to 40, but were thwarted in all but one scoring attempt. Western had two good scoring chances in the opening quarter, but each time were held for downs — once on the one-yard stripe. In the second period, however, the Broncos were able to put together a sustained drive that carried them 76 yards for the game ' s only tally. Halfback Bob Walterhouse made the final two yards on an off-tackle slant. Pearson ' s place-kick made the score 7-0. The Broncos had tough going in the third quarter because of a strong wind that played havoc with the Western punters. One wind-blown kick netted but one yard, while a second carried for only 15. This latter boot put the Chippewas in scoring po- sition on the Bronco 29-yard line, but a pass interception by Chuck Schoolmaster soon ended the threat. In the final period Western held the upper hand throughout, but was unable to reach pay-dirt. IOWA TEACHERS 13 WESTERN 6 Western suffered its first grid loss of the year when an underdog Iowa State Teachers eleven fought to a 13-6 win before a large homecoming gathering at Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Broncos were never able to keep a sustained drive moving against the in- spired Panthers who outfought the heavier Gillmen almost from the start. Two Western fumbles in crucial moments also hindered the Bronco cause. After receiving the opening kick-off, the Broncos marched confidently down field to the Panther 16 at which point Ted Bauer ' s fumble was recovered by Iowa. Then the Panlhers took over, and just before the intermission scored on a smash through tackle. The half-time score was Iowa 6, Western 0. The Broncos quickly evened the count early in the third quarter when halfback Les Grafton scored on a 15-yard end sweep. Western had recovered an Iowa fumble two plays earlier to set up the opportunity. Then in the final period, Western marched to the Panther 23 but again the drive was halted. Three plays later Iowa ' s Bud Fisher broke loose on a 72-yard touchdown dash that spelled defeat for the previously unbeaten Broncos. stopped after a short gain against Central Michigan. Art Gillespie dashes around end in the Michigan game. y liii l rt l bout +0 be downed by XAViER 39 WESTERN 20 Xavier University of Cincinnati gave Western somewhat of a speed workout in Waldo Stadium as they romped to a 39-20 win over the Broncos. The visitors built up a 26-0 lead before Western tallied once in the third quarter and twice in the final period to avoid a complete rout. The pass combination of Bob McQuade to Vince DeFranco was the major thorn in Western ' s side during Xavier ' s first half scoring parade. This pair set up the initial Musketeer touchdown with a 4 1 -yard heave that ended on the Bronco 5, and later scored twice on pass plays of 69 and 33 yards. Opening the second half, the visitors quickly stretched their margin to 26-0. Then the Broncos, sparked by the running of fullback Harry Hildreth, picked up a lone third period touchdown, but Xavier promptly countered with a pair of tallies that made the score 39-7. In the last quarter Western added touchdowns by Horace Chance and Norm Harris to round out the final 39-20 result. MIAMI 34 WESTERN 28 Returning to MAC competition, the Broncos invaded Miami University to meet the highly favored Redskin grid machine. In the end, Western absorbed its first con- ference loss by a 34-28 margin, but it was not until the Gillmen had made a gallant comeback effort. Miami opened the scoring early in the contest when end Dick Ulrich snagged a Western fumble and scampered 30 yards to the goal. Then the Westerners jumped into a 7-6 advantage on Dick Stull ' s 40-yard touchdown jaunt, but Miami lost no time in shooting ahead 20-7 with a pair of quick tallies. Before the half ended the Broncos had narrowed the count to 20-14 through the combined effort of Harris ' passing and Hildreth ' s running. The Redskisn took control after the intermission and increased their lead to 34-14 at one point early in the final quarter. Western then scored on a pass interception by George Duditch and later on a plunge by Hildreth as the Broncos tried in vain to upset the Redskins. 208 WESTERN 20 BUTLER 7 Western bounced back from its third straight loss to down Butler ' s Bulldogs 20-7 in the local Homecoming contest. The victory gave the Broncos a 2-1 record in MAC play and kept the Bulldogs buried in the league cellar. Coach Gill ' s lads were in full command throughout the opening quarter, and scored in six plays the second time they had possession of the pigskin. The touchdown effort was a sharp 16-yard pass from Hilt Foster to George Mesko. Shortly after, a fourth down Butler punt was blocked by Mai Pearson to give the ball to Western on the Butler II. After three unsuccessful pass attempts by Norm Harris, the Bronco Hurler connected to Swift Noble for another touchdown and a 13-0 lead. The visitors showed a passing attack of their own for a few moments in the second period. After taking possession on the Bronco 35, John Chelminak tossed to Knute Dobkins who advanced to the Western two yard line. On the next play Butler scored and cut the Broncos ' edge to 13-7. One more third period tally insured victory for Western, and came after a sustained 7 1 -yard drive. The march featured the running of Harry Hildreth and Dick Stull, with Hildreth fiinally crossing the Bulldog goal. Of particular encouragement to Bronco supporters was the fine defensive work of Chuck Schoolmaster and the Bronco line, and the ground-gaining of Hildreth. lildreth is driven out-of-bounds during le Butler contest. utier puts Art Gillespie in an inverted tuation. 209 Harry Hildreth is stopped short of the goal line as Mai Pearson takes out a Washington U. linebacker.

WESTERN 19 WASHINGTON U. 6 Taking a one week rest from league compe+iHon, Western journeyed to St. Louis to dishearten a large homecoming crowd with a 19-6 win over previously unbeaten Washington University. The Broncos started slowly, yielding the first touchdown to the Bears, but came back to take charge in the later portions of the game. Washington took an early lead on a nine-yard end sweep and it was not until the final minutes of the opening period that Western began to move. One Bronco threat was stopped within inches of the Bear goal-line before the Broncos managed to put Harry Hildreth across with the tying touchdown. A few moments later, the Kalamazooans put together a series of Harris passes to grab a 13-6 half-time edge. There was no further scoring until the final quarter when Western marched 81 yards following George Dunn ' s interception of a Washington aerial. The outstanding play of the drive was a 3 I -yard Harris-to-Mesko pass, and it was Harris who finally tallied on a quarterback sneak. WESTERN 40 OHIO U. 7 Western traveled to Athens. Ohio, for its final game of the year and exploded in the second half to whip Ohio University 40-7. The victory made the season ' s finale a glorious one for the Broncos and gave them a second-place tie in the Mid-America Conference. Ohio jumped to an early 7-0 lead after Western failed to get off a fourth down punt deep in their own territory. The Bobcats took over on the Broncos ' two-yard line and scored easily. The Gillmen fought an uphill battle throughout the remainder of the opening half, and finally were able to put together an 86-yard drive that netted six points. Most Important factor in the march was the pitching arm of Norm Harris that prevented the Broncos from bogging down. Hildreth made the last few yards on an off-tackle smash, but Mai Pearson ' s conversion attempt failed, leaving the margin 7-6 at the intermission. In the second half the Broncos exhibited a pass attack that completely baffled the Bobcats. Western scored twice in the third period on Harris passes to Sophomore Pat Ciysdale and added three more final-quarter touchdowns to complete the rout. 210 COMPLETE 1948 RECORD WESTERN 26, Western Reserve WESTERN 33, Beloit College WESTERN 7, Central Michigan Western 6, IOWA TEACHERS 13 Western 20, XAVIER 39 Western 28, MIAMI (OHIO) 34 WESTERN 20, Butler 7 WESTERN 19, Washington (St. Louis) 6 WESTERN 40, Ohio University 7 199 106 Chuck Schoolmaster, s+ar Bronco center and Western ' s representative on the con- ference All-Star team.

With a new coach at the helm, Western ' s freshman grid squad fought their way through a four game schedule and emerged with but one setback. Under the direction of Tom Slaughter, former Bronco ace. the yearlings triumphed over the Soo branch of Michigan Tech and Grand Rapids JC and were downed only by the University of Detroit ' s frosh. A 19-0 victory over Coach Bob Clark ' s Junior Varsity eleven completed the frosh program. Outstanding among the greenclad gridders was Captain Chuck Slane whose running and pass receiving accounted for five touchdowns in four games. Unfortunately, Slane left school after his first semester here, and will not be on hand to try for next year ' s varsity. However, several other yearlings played fine ball with the frosh eleven and can be counted as varsity material. Quarterback Len Johnston proved that he is not only a good passer, but that he is also an excellent field general. Halfback Arnie Thompson showed that he was ready for varsity ball with his fine running and pile- driving efforts. On the line. Coach Slaughter came up with Art Rossi, a top guard prospect, and with Al Cater, an excellent pass-catching end. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL 212 WESTERN FROSH 13 SAULT TECH 6 Western ' s frosh gridders opened their season with a 13-6 victory over the Sault Ste. Marie branch of Michigan Tech. The night contest was staged in a driving rain- storm and was not finished until after midnight due to power failure. The northerners took an early 6-0 lead in the second quarter, but saw the Bronco frosh shoot ahead a few moments later on a 60-yard pass play to Chuck Slane. Then shortly after half-time, halfback Slane again countered — this time on a 40- yard sprint — to wrap up the first win for Tom Slaughter ' s frosh. ■ WESTERN FROSH 8 GRAND RAPIDS JC The Bronco yearlings made it two in a row with a hard-fought 8-0 triumph over the Grand Rapids JC eleven. Western started slowly, and had to hold off a pair of initial JC threats before they could begin to move. The Kalamazoo lads entered the scoring column in the second quarter when an 18- yard pass was completed from Bill Flaherty to Chuck Slane. Finally, the young Broncos added two points when the JC tailback was nailed behind his goal for a third period safety. WESTERN FROSH 19 WESTERN JV In an engagement with the local JV eleven, the frosh outclassed the upperclassmen by a 19-0 edge. It marked the third straight win for Coach Slaughter ' s yearlings. Three first half touchdowns were all the frosh needed to win. Halfback Slane opened the scoring with a fine 65-yard sprint following a short pass over center. Five minutes later a JV fumble gave the green-clads the chance to push Len Johnston across on a quarterback sneak. Final frosh tally resulted from a 30-yard aerial from Paul Abraham to Alvia Cater. UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT FROSH 25 WESTERN FROSH 6 The Bronco frosh drew another rainy day for the season ' s finale and were forced to bow to a heavier University of Detroit yearling eleven by a 25-6 count. The game actually was much closer than the score would indicate, since two U of D tallies re- sulted from Bronco fumbles and a third was accomplished on a pass interception. After Detroit had taken a 7-0 lead, the Bronco greenies came through with a 70-yard march that netted their lone touchdown. The final effort of tthe drive was Len Johnston ' s I 1-yard pass to Slane. The extra point attempt failed, however, and the Broncs trailed 7-6. Throughout the remainder of the contest. Western had several scoring chances, but were unable to reach pay-dirt. Detroit, on the other hand, added three more tallies to round out the final 25-6 total. 213 VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY AWARD WINNERS Back row: Al Cortwriqht, Has- tings; Captain Herb Lewis, South Bend; Bruce Jackson, Kalamazoo.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS The Bronco cross-counlry team won the first Mid-American championship for Western In the conference meet at Cincinnati this fall. The harriers defeated a highly favored Miami distance squad by one point to gain top honors and to climb from their cellar position of last year. In dual competition the hill and dale men won only two of seven starts. However, the competition was close as four of these were lost by a small margin of four points or less. Compared with last year ' s record of just one tie in five dual meets the team has shown a lot of Improvement. WAYNE 27 WESTERN 29 ILLINOIS NORMAL 27 WESTERN 28 Western ' s harriers opened their season with a double dual meet with Wayne and Illinois Normal on Western ' s course. The Broncos were edged out in both affairs but only by a small margin. It Is likely that the Mausmen could have won both events If Bill Golden, who was running third at the three quarter mark, had not been taken ill. Bill suffered an attack of appendicitis and was lost for the season. The first three men to finish for Western were Jim Smith, Bill Alman, and Herb Lewis who placed second, third, and fourfh respectively in both meets. WESTERN 15 LOYOLA 47 WHEATON 21 WESTERN 34 The cross-country men fared much better in their second double dual meet at Waldo Stadium. Against Loyola the Broncos copped the first five places before a Rambler hit the finish line, thus winning with a perfect score. Alman was the winner for Western followed by Lewis, Smith, Breed, and Stafford. The Western harriers met with less success against the Wheaton distance squad as Alman ' s efforts were only good for a third place. Don Balog of Wheaton won with a fast time of 18:12 for the 3 1-4 mile course. CROSS-COUNTRY 214 CENTRAL MICHIGAN 26 WESTERN 29 At M+. Pleasant the Bronco cross-country squad was edged out by the Chippewas in another close meet. Jim Little, Central ' s distance ace, won with a fast time of 20:02 which lowered the previous record by a full 20 seconds. Little was trailed by Jim Smith, Western; Ivan Davis, Central; Bill Alman, Western; Dick Frank, Central; and Herb Lewis, Western, to give the Chippewas the victory by three points. MIAMI 26 WESTERN 30 The ill-fated Bronco harriers again dropped a close meet when they visited Oxford, Ohio to run the 1947 Mid-American championship Miami cross-country team. The powerful Miami squad captured first and second places followed by Chuck Breed, Bill Alman, and Jim Smith of Western in third, fourth and fifth places. Despite this balance Western lost by four points. This meet was intended to be a triangular affair with Butler included, but the Bulldogs were unable to compete. WESTERN 20 CHICAGO 43 Western ' s cross-country team really handed the Maroons of Chicago a defeat when they captured all the places from second to eighth. Mulcahey of Chicago was the winner, seven Bronco runners following him in before the next Maroon runner appeared. Alman was second with Breed, Smith, Lewis, Stafford, Jackson, and Cortwright following in that order. Herb Lewis, captain of the 1948 Mid-American 5-country champions. MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Coach Clayton Maus ' cross-country team was listed as a dark horse in the Mid-American Conference run at Cincinnati and the team was a great surprise to the 1947 championship Miami team. Western ' s team balance was enough to defeat the power- ful Redskin squad 40-41. The grueling four mile run over the wet and slippery course was won by Miami ' s great distance runner, Mike Stavole, in 24:14.8. The first Bronco to finish was Bill Alman in fourth place. The re- maining Kalamazooans finished closely grouped with Jim Smith, sixth; Bruce Jackson, seventh; Chuck Breed, eighth; Herb Lewis, fifteenth; Bernie Stafford, eighteenth; and Al Cortwright, twen- ty-third. The final team scoring was: Western Michigan — 40, Miami — 41, Ohio U.— 60, Cincinnati U.— 78, Western Reserve— 134. But- tler was not figured in the team scoring because they could only field three men. The harriers finished their season by competing in the N.C.A.A. meet held at East Lansing. The Mausmen finished twelfth in a field of eighteen full college teams including most of toughest competition in the nation. 215 Back row: Coach Clayton Maus; Ron Seiner, Kalamazoo; George Vosler, Kalamazoo; Jim Sunner- ville, Plainwell; Russ Gabier, Cad- illac; Roger MacMurray, Kala- mazoo. Front row; John DerHammer, Ka- lamazoo; Bob Epskamp, Flint; Ger- ald Green. Coldwater; Roger Mc- Garvy, Jackson; Neal Webb, Al- legan. Western ' s freshman cross-country team ended Its season with a record of two wins, one loss, and one tie. The post-season intersquad meet saw Russ Sabier break the freshman two mile course record by a full four seconds. Russ navigated the hilly course in 10:54 to eclipse Ed Moschioni ' s record set in 1946. Frosh runners Russ Gabier, George Vosler, Ron Seiner, Roger MacMurray, John Der- Hammer, Bob Epskamp, and Jim Sunnerville have all demonstrated that they will be strong contenders for next year ' s varsity distance squad. WESTERN FROSH WAYNE FROSH The opening freshman cross-country meet was held at Waldo Stadium with a forfeit win over the Wayne frosh. Although there was no scoring because the Wayne squad consisted of only four men instead of the necessary five, the Bronco yearlings made a good showing. Russ Gabier, freshman mile and two mile ace, finished 170 yards ahead of the field with a near record time of I 1:25 for the two and one quarter mile course. George Vosler was the next man to finish for the frosh. WESTERN FROSH 15 JACKSON JC 40 Coach Clayton Maus ' freshman harriers ran a perfect race with all seven men finishing ahead of Jackson ' s first man over the two and one half mile course at Jackson. Russ Gabier led the yearlings over the course in 13:50. The Cadillac distance star was fol- lowed closely by George Vosler, Ron Seiner, Roger MacMurray, John DerHammer, Jim Sunnerville, and Bob Epskamp, who finished in that order. WESTERN FROSH 28 BUTLER FROSH 28 MIAMI FROSH 19 WESTERN FROSH 40 The freshmen ended their season in a double dual meet with the Miami and Butler frosh at Miami University, Oxford. Ohio. The Bronco frosh fell before the powerful Miami yearlings, but they tied Butler 28-28. Gabier finished second behind Powell of Miami, however, both runners were under the course record of 19:16. Powell ' s winning time was 19:05 whie Gabier was about eight seconds behind. FRESHMAN CROSS-COUNTRY 216 The past season saw the climax of the basketball career of Don Boven, one of the finest pivot men ever to wear the Brown and Gold. In his four years, he personally accounted for 1089 points — a total that gives him the school ' s four- season scoring record. In addition, Boven ' s 118 free throws during his final year bettered Western ' s record in that de- partment. Don served as a co-captain of the 1947-48 Bron- cos and repeated as captain of the 48-49 squad. Boven ' s efforts also were important to Western as it made Its entrance into Mid- American Conference activities. The Bronco ace tossed in 182 markers in ten league games to grab the individual scoring crown and earn a first team berth on the loop ' s All-Star squad. Don Boven, ace MAC point-make Bronco center and top Buck Read, Wester of basketball. I ' s grand old man Synonymous with basketball at Western Michigan is the name of hferbert W. Buck Read. For 28 consecutive sea- sons the Silver Fox led Bronco cagers into action, and It was through his efforts that Western reached its present place in the basketball world. His complete coaching rec- ord here shows 353 wins in 520 games for a winning per- centage of .629. Only three Read-coached teams finished with a season ' s record below .500. As a fitting climax to a great coaching career at Western, Read was chosen by his colleagues to serve this past year as president of the national Basketball Coaches Asso- ciation. Perhaps Coach Read ' s greatest single contribution to basket- ball strategy has been h ' s introduction of the fast-break style of offense. Back In 1930, when Western first began to use this attack, the Broncos romped through to an unbeaten season to focus national cage attention on the hilltop. The wide usage of the fast-break today is a tribute to the pio- neering of Buck Read. 218 Back row: Trainer Ed Gabel; Benny Olson, Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin; Don Groggel, Kalamazoo; Jim Betchelt, Berrien Springs; Ray Postema, Muskegon; Coach H.

Western ' s basketball schedule took on a somewhat different complexion for the 1948-49 campaign. For the first time, the Broncos were participating in the Mid- American Conference with a full ten game program, and the year ' s thoughts naturally centered about these contests. The non-conference opposition was not to be taken lightly, however, for it included some top Mid-Western outfits. The Bronco cagers faced their 22-game card with determination, and rolled to six wins in seven pre-holiday starts to give Coach Read ' s final season a favorable send- off. After vacation the squad kept up the pace until at one point they enjoyed an 11-3 record. Then the lads ran into some truly great foes — and some tough luck — and were forced to accept seven straight defeats. Finally, in the year ' s last contest, the Broncos broke the spell and handed their coach one final victory. Western finished league play with a 4-6 mark that gave them a third place tie with Western Reserve. 219 WESTERN 53 OLIVET 33 The Broncos opened the year somewhat inauspiciously with a 53-33 win over Olivet College at Western ' s gym. In the opening half, the home lads seemingly couldn ' t get started, and held only a slim 22-20 half- time edge. Then in the second half Coach Read ' s gang came back strong to gain the victory that had been expected. Don Boven gathered 19 points for the contest while Lyie Alrick ' s second-half spurt gave him a 12-point total. WESTERN 52 NORTHWESTERN 51 With only the Olivet experience behind them, the Broncos jumped into big-time competition with a clash with Northwestern University at Evanston, Il- linois. The Broncos looked feeble in the opening min- utes, but rallied late in the half with a fast-break ex- hibiton that stunned the Wildcats and gave Western a 30-25 half-time advantage. In the second half, the Broncos began to fade as Northwestern stepped up their attack. After Boven was ejected from the game on fouls, the Wildcats closed in and jumped to a 51-50 edge with one minute left. Then, with 35 seconds remaining, Don Groggel loosed a perfect two-hand set shot to give Western a well-deserved 52-51 victory. WESTERN 64 CALVIN 41 Calvin College of Grand Rapids came to Western ' s gym for their annual visit and were forced to accept a 64-41 setback at the hands of the Broncos. Inconsistent basketball by the Brown and Gold kept the visitors very much in the game during the early portions, but just before the half Western spurted to a 32-22 edge. In the sec- ond half, the Broncos finally settled down and coasted to the triumph. Don Boven ' s 15 markers and Jim Betchek ' s I I paced the Broncos, but Calvin ' s Elmer Ribbens topped all scorers with a 17 total. WESTERN 50 ARKANSAS STATE 39 Western ' s unbeaten Broncos stretched their string to four straight by turning back Arkansas State 50-39 in a home contest. Although winning by a comfortable margin, the Broncs continued to play spotty ball, and it was only in the opening and closing portions of the game that they looked sharp. Bronco Ray Postema and Ben Wilhelm of the visitors shared scoring honors with 12 each, while LyIe Alrick and Don Boven added 10 apiece for Western. MANCHESTER 71 WESTERN 66 The Broncos ' early season victory string was abruptly broken at four games when an inspired Manchester College five ran off with a 71-66 win in a game played at North Manchester, Indiana. Paced by Wendell Beck ' s 24 points, the home squad grabbed an early lead and then held off a late Bronco rally to win by five markers. Don Groggel provided the spark of the Western threat and finished with 14 points for the evening, while Boven and Postema tossed in 13 each. 220 WESTERN 62 BALL STATE 51 With just one day ' s rest following their defeat at Manchester, the Broncos returned home to meet another powerful Hoosier outfit in Bail State ' s Cardinals. This time the Readmen came through with a 62-5! win to put Western back on the victory trail. Captain Boven ' s 17 points topped all scoring for the affair. The game was a see-saw battle from the start. Western ' s early lead melted away as the first half progressed until the count showed only a 31-30 Bronco lead at the intermission, it was not until the Brown and Gold staged a ten point spree midway in the last half that the game could be considered won. WESTERN 59 RIPON 42 The Broncos close d the pre-holiday activities in promising style by downing Ripon of Wisconsin 59-42 in a contest staged in the local gym. Only at the beginning of each half were the Dairy Staters effective as Western won its sixth game in seven starts. Feature of the evening was the scoring battle between Don Boven and Doc Weiske, the rival centers. Weiske outscored the Bronco ace I l-IO in the first half, but after the rest period Boven came back to outscore his rival 20-13. MIAMI 51 WESTERN 43 Immediately after Christmas vacation the Broncos embarked upon their first full year of Mid-American Conference play. For their league debut the Readmen jour- neyed to Oxford, Ohio, only to finish on the short end of a 51-43 count. Western played shaky basketball in the opening minutes while the foe was jumping to a 9-0 edge. With such encouragement, Miami went on to lead 29-23 at the half and finish with an eight point advantage. Free throw inaccuracy and the loss of both Boven and Groggel on fouls in the second half considerably injured the Bronco cause. WESTERN 58 OHIO 42 After bowing at Miami, Western stopped over in Athens, Ohio, to gain a 58-42 triumph over Ohio University and square the Bronco record in MAC activities. In winning, the Kalamazooans literally stunned the Ohio five during most of the initial half and had grabbed a 30-18 lead by half-time. From there, the Broncos won easily. Scoring honors for the game went to big Swift Noble, who came into the affair in the second half to toss in 1 3 points. I ESTERN 73 NORTHERN ILLINOIS 52 Back home once again, the Broncos took a rest from league play to administer a decisive 73-52 defeat to Northern Illinois. The Brown and Gold five, led by Captain Boven ' s 2 1 points, came back from a mediocre initial half to tally an even fifty markers in the final 20 minutes and insure the victory. In winning. Western stretched its year ' s record to eight wins in 10 starts, and prepared itself for the top-flight foes still remaining on the Bronco pro- gram. Ray Postema fires a shot against Ball State 221 WESTERN 83 WESTERN RESERVE 63 Western Reserve invaded Kalamazoo close on the heels of the vanquished Northern Illinois and was forced to accept much the same punishment from the rampaging Broncos. The local squad took a few moments to get started, but soon turned on a fast-break attack that quickly subdued the visitors. Western led 40-25 at half-time and increased the advantage to 83-63 by the final gun. Individual scoring star of the game was Reserve ' s Jimmy Cochrane who hit for 21 points including several long shots. Bronco point-making was evenly divided, with five men contributing from 12 to 15 points. WESTERN 81 VALPARAISO 52 Next on Western ' s schedule was the home half of the annual two-game series with Valparaiso — tradi- tional cage rival of the Broncos. But this time the fans were denied one of those famous Bronco-Valpo thrill- ers, for Western ' s attack was invincible for the eve- ning and the local squad won easily 81-52. It was truly a great night for the Broncos and every- thing went as planned. Captain Boven gathered 24 points at the pivot spot, while Bob Fitch and Swift Noble contributed 10 each. The win gave Western a record of 10 victories in 12 starts. CINCINNATI 75 WESTERN 57 The ' 49 Broncos got their first taste of truly big-tlme competition when the powerful Cincinnati Bearcats visited the hilltop gym for a Mid-American Conference game. The invaders came to town boasting 10 wins In I I tries and claimed an average offense of 75 points per game. For over half the contest Western made a courageous effort to up-set the high-riding Bearcats, but eventually faded to a 75-57 defeat. Cinclnatti, with a decided height advantage, controlled both backboards despite the most determined Bronco efforts. Even in defeat. Western could point with pride to the exhibition given by Don Boven who tossed in 15 points in each half for a 30-point total. Six-foot-six Bill Westerfeld, the CIncy pivot star, was limited to 16 markers. WESTERN 71 MIAMI 55 Miami University provided the opposition as 70 former Bronco cagers returned to the hilltop to honor Buck Read in his final year as basketball coach here. After the previous greats had pres- ented their gifts, the ' 49 squad went out and fash- ioned a 71-55 victory as their contribution to the festivities. All in all, the evening was a fitting trib- ute to Coach Read after 28 years at Western. Although winning by a comfortable margin, the Broncos played inconsistent ball. The contest was very close until a Bronco rally in the final seven minutes widened the margin. 222 A jump ball In the Miami contest Bob Fitch races in for a shot. WESTERN RESERVE 65 - WESTERN 61 Next on the Bronco schedule was a return en- gagennent with Western Reserve, the outfit Western had downed so easily in Kalamazoo 83-63. But on their home court the Red Cats were not such push-overs, and they went on a scoring spree that netted them a 65-61 win over Western — their first victory in confer- ence play. A poor opening half was the Broncos ' down- fall. The 38-27 ha lf-time deficit was too much for a determined Western rally to overcome. Outstanding performance of the evening was turned in by Red Cat Jimmy Cochrane whose 23 points topped all individual scoring. Bronco Don Groggei ' s 20 rated a close second. BUTLER 88 WESTERN 52 With only a .500 rating in conference play. Western ' s Broncos traveled to Indianapolis to battle Butler ' s Bulldogs, themselves unbeaten in the league. Once again, however, Western failed in a giant-killer role, and Butler rolled on to an 88-52 triumph. There was seemingly no way of stopping the Bulldogs. They started fast and romped to a 43-26 lead by the half-time pause. Ralph (Buckshot) O ' Brien, Butler guard, tossed in 19 points, most of them in the opening half, to spearhead the attack. Nevertheless, Bronco Boven ran off with game scoring honors with a 24-point collection. CINCINNATI 90 WESTERN 65 After the defeat at Butler, the Broncos journeyed on to Cincinnati for a second contest with the Bearcats. The game developed much as the earlier struggle in Kalamazoo, and saw Western threaten for more than a half before fading to defeat. The 90-point total of Cincy was the largest ever scored against a Read-coached five. Western started strong and once held a 19-1! advantage in the early moments. Even by half-time the Broncs trailed only 41-38, but a stepped-up Cincy attack in the last half was too much for the Brown and Gold. Forward Ralph Richter was the big gun in the winners ' attack with a total of 34 points. Once again Boven led the Broncos with 19. LOYOLA 66 WESTERN 44 Loyola University of Chicago, with one of the nation ' s top fives, came to Kalamazoo to easily win its 19th game in 23 starts by downing Western 66-44. The Ramblers, who later won second honors in the National Invitational tourney, built up a big 35-18 half-time lead and then coasted to victory. Loyola ' s superior backboard control and smoother scoring plays proved to be too much for the Broncos. Only for a brief time in the second half did Western show any great- ness, and even then their sudden rally fell far short. Top man for the winners was Ed Earle who scored 17 points, while Boven ' s 14 topped Western. Jack Kerris, ace Rambler center, was limited to nine. 223 VALPARAISO 66 WESTERN 63 Western ' s return engagement at Valparaiso turned out to be a thriller all the way with the Crusaders finally edging the Brown and Gold in overtime 66-63. Led by Bob Metcalf, who looped in 24 points for the evening, the Valpo five stayed with the favored Broncs throughout the first half and held a 25-21 intermission lead. In the second half Val- paraiso pulled further away until just before the final gun when Western closed in for a 55-55 deadlock. In the overtime session it was all Valpo. The Broncos had lost Don Boven earlier on fouls and were unable to show any sustained drive. The Crusaders out-scored Western 11-8 in the extra session to achieve the victory. BUTLER 70 WESTERN 58 Another Mid-West cage power hit the hilltop in the form of the same Butler five that earlier whipped Western 88-52. The second contest proved to be much like the first one at Indianapolis, too, for it saw the Bulldogs run away with a 70-58 win — their 18th in 22 games for the season. Inability to hit the hoop both from the floor and from the free throw line was the main factor in the Broncos ' sixth straight set- back. Feature exhibition of the night was the 27-point collection of Butler ' s ace guard Buckshot O ' Brien. He hit for a total of twelve field goals — many from far out — and added three free throws to complete the night ' s work. Boven ' s 24 mark- ers topped Western. LOYOLA 63 WESTERN 31 By mistake, Western arrived in Chicago one day early for its game with Loyola, but still wasn ' t ready for the powerful Ramblers. In fact, it was not until the second half that the Broncos showed any particular ability to score at all. Western hit but four of 35 shots from the floor in the opening half and trailed 28-10 at half-time. The game opened up somewhat after the intermission, although the Bronco cause was all but lost. Swift Noble was the main Brown and Gold point-maker with nine second-half markers. High for the Chicagoans was substitute center John Dawson who arched in 19 tallies. WESTERN 69 OHIO 56 The Broncos finally came to life for the year ' s finale staged in the hometown gym and defeated Ohio University 69-56. The win was an important one, too. for it gave Western a tie for third in the Mid- American Conference and put a triumphant finish on the coaching career of Coach Read. The con- test also marked the last cage appearance of three Bronco seniors Captain Don Boven, Bob Fitch, and Frank Gilman. Western got off to a slow start and led only 33-31 at the half. In the second half, however, a fast- break attack began to click and the victory was assured. Boven ' s final collegiate effort netted him 23 points to assure him the league scoring crown and give him a record 1089 point total for four seasons. Ray Postema also added 22 markers to the cause for his highest total of the year. 224 Don Boven adds another two pc his college days against Ohio U. Western ended the season with a record of 12 wins and 10 losses and finished with a third place tie in the Mid-American Conference. Don Boven was high scorer for the year with 364 points, giving him an average scoring effort of 16.6 points per game. His 118 free throws established a new school record in that department. Boven was also selected on the league All-Star five along with Ralph Richter and Al Rubenstein of Cincinnati and Ralph O ' Brien and Jim Doyle of Butler. Only other Bronco to draw attention was Don Groggel who landed a third squad berth. FINAL MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE STANDINGS W.

The greenclads, v ho operated under two different coaches during the course of the campaign, were beaten only by a strong Valparaiso frosh outfit. The Valpo five, in turn, were downed only by a powerful Loyola B team. Coach Tom Slaughter, who also directed the yearling football team, handled the frosh throughout the latter part of the season. The former Bronco took over the du- ties from Clayton Maus, who was then able to devote full time to the indoor track squad. For their attack the frosh made much use of the fast-break with Co-Captains Bob Adams and Jay Santman providing the spark. At the pivot spot, Jim Wenke came in for a lot of experience after enrolling here in mid-year. Other freshmen who showed promise were Jack Sabadin, George Drikakis, Joe Shaw, and Wayne Weimer, all of whom saw considerable action during the year. Top point maker for the yearlings was Adams who looped in 75 markers in the seven contests. WESTERN FROSH 89 CLEARY COLLEGE 29 The young Broncos got off to a fine start with a smashing 89-29 win over Cleary College of Ypsilanti. Western piled up a 40-10 half-time edge and went on to win in a walkaway. Jay Santman ' s 19 points topped the winners. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL 226 WESTERN FROSH 46 PERCY JONES 22 The freshmen made it two wins in a row with a 46-22 triumph over Percy Jones from Battle Creek. Western was just too powerful for the soldiers and built up an early lead that was never threatened. Neil Benford got ten points for the Broncos while Bob Adams added nine. WESTERN FROSH 73 MANCHESTER B 53 The youthful Broncos rounded out an undefeated pre-holiday program with a 73-53 victory over the B squad of Manchester College. Chief contributor to Western ' s third straight win was Bob Adams, flashy South Bend forward, who netted 24 points for the evening. VALPARAISO FROSH 53 WESTERN FROSH 49 Coach Tom Slaughter took over the reins of the frosh five after vacation and im- mediately ran into Valparaiso ' s powerful frosh team for his initial contest. Led by Elwyn Heyn, who tossed in 16 points, the Broncos made a strong bid for victory but eventually faltered 53-49. It marked the first loss of the season for Western ' s yearlings. WESTERN FROSH 47 PERCY JONES 30 The Bronco greenies bounced back from their loss to Valpo to take their second win of the year from Percy Jones 47-30. This time, the soldiers made a battle of it for the first half before fading. Bob Adams led Western with 12 points, but Joe Mudge of Percy Jones took game scoring honors with 16. WESTERN FROSH 56 CALVIN BEES 46 Coach Tom Slaughter ' s five rolled to another win by downing the Calvin College B squad 56-46. With center Jim Wenke tossing in 16 markers and Jack Sabadin adding 15, the yearlings moved out ahead in the second half to earn the ten- point advantage. VALPARAISO FROSH 74 WESTERN FROSH 56 Valparaiso ' s freshman cagers continued their winning ways with another triumph over the young Broncos — this time by a 74-56 count. Leading the losing cause for Western were Jim Wenke and Bob Adams, each of whom arched in 16 tallies. The game concluded the season for the Bronco yearlings and gave them a final year ' s record of five wins and two defeats. Coach Tom Slaughter gives his frosh cagers some helpful hints. 227 Western ' s four cheerleaders were once more a familiar sight at all home football and basketball contests. Led by Betsy Slain, the only veteran from last year, the girls worked gallantly to improve the student bodys participation in school songs and yells. This year ' s newcomers to the cheerleading staff were chosen last spring following trials held at a Men ' s Union open house. A student-faculty committee served as the judges and finally selected Dolores Avenatti, Carolyn Morrow, and Rosie Hall. CHEERLEADERS 228 Dick Groggel, baseball team captain and sfar third saclcer, began this year his third and final season on the Bronco diamond. Well-liked by all members of the squad, the quiet Groggel was a popular choice for the captaincy. His hitting, particularly in the pinches, has been an important part of Western ' s offensive power during his days on the hilltop. Equally important, too, has been his strong throw- ing arm that has enabled him to guard third base so well the past three seasons. Charles H. Maher, Western ' s head baseball coach, together with Matt Patanelli, assistant coach, directed the fortunes of the Bronco nine as it went forth to seek greater fame. Under this staff, the 1949 squad sought to uphold the record that had been built up by Maher ' s crack ' 48 outfit. Mr. Maher, a former Bronco great on the diamond, has held the top baseball post since 1936 and has been an Important factor in the continuous development of base- ball at Western. His teams have been a constant threat for some of the Mid-West ' s finest aggregations, and Western ' s all-time record against schools such as Michigan Is remarkable. Mr. Patanelli, newly added to the staff for 1949, was himself a top-notch first sacker at Michigan during his undergraduate days. His knowledge and ability should help considerably in the development of Western ' s teams. 230 The Bronco baseball staff — assistant Matt Patanelli and head coach Charles Maher. ic:Mtrfj |lCHiG4 Back row: Carlton Coss, Battle Creek; Bill Kowalski, Allegan; Don Boven, Kalamazoo; Gene Schlukebir, Kalamazoo; Gordon Bowdell, Detroit.

Western ' s 1948 baseball team faced some of the finest teams in the Mid-West and came through with 16 wins against five losses. The Broncos also finished their initial Mid-American Conference season with a fine record of six victories in eight starts to give them second-place behind Ohio University. The Broncos also had the distinction of being invited to the NCAA district play-offs that involved the four top Mid-West nines. In this competition, the Mahermen took a decisive win over Michigan, but bowed to Illinois ' Big-Nine co-champions in the finals. On the basis of this tourney, the Broncos rated second only to the lllini in the Mid-West. Western also could claim the mythical state collegiate crown. Two wins each over Michigan and Michigan State gave the Broncos an unbeaten record against intra- state foes. At the close of the year 15 Broncos were awarded major baseball awards. In addition to those included in the squad picture above, W ' s were received by Bernie Compton, Flint, and Francis Green, Kalamazoo. 1948 BASEBALL 231 Coss slides safely into third in the first Michigan game. The Broncs went on to win this one 5-4. With only a limited amount of out-door practice behind them, Western opened the 1948 baseball season by dividing a two-game series with Ohio University. The games also served as the Broncos ' debut into Mid-American Conference activities. Ohio spoiled the ope ner 4-3, but Western evened the count the following day with a 5-3 win fashioned by lefty Gene Schlukebir. After a single game with Michigan had been rained out. Coach Maher ' s lads ad- ministered a pair of setbacks to Wisconsin of the Big Nine. In the first contest, George Duditch gained credit for an 8-6 victory, and Schlukebir followed with an easy 24-9 triumph. Back in league competition, Western split a two-game stand at Butler, dropping the initial tilt 7-2, and coming back to win the second 3-0. In this second contest, big Gordon Bowdell fashioned a brilliant no-hit, no-run performance to earn for himself a place in Western ' s hall of fame. Next on the Bronco schedule was a home tilt with Notre Dame, but after two suc- cessive rainy days the game was cancelled. Then followed a pair of wins over league foe Western Reserve at Cleveland. The first of these saw Bowdell gain his second win on a 16-3 seven-hit exhibition, and in the second game, Schlukebir allowed only five hits in besting Reserve 8-3. Back home once more. Western used its one-two mound punch to grab a pair of victories from second-place Miami of the Mid-American loop. Bowdell won the first 8-6, and Schlukebir followed with a 6-3 achievement. The two wins gave Western a mark of six victories and two losses, a record eventually bettered by Ohio ' s 7-2 finish. A crucial double-header with Cincinnati that was rained from the schedule spoiled the Broncos ' hopes of winning the league crown during their first year of competition. Turning to intra-state opposition. Coach Maher ' s lads edged Michigan State 4-3 as Bowdell bested the Spartans in a great up-hill battle. Western was out-hit 11-5, but bunched three of their total in the seventh frame to score twice and overcome a 3-2 deficit. A two-game invasion by Iowa provided the next opportunity for the Broncos to display their diamond power. In both games, the local lads had to come from behind in order to win 8-5 and 6-4. Schlukebir and Duditch received credit for the victories, although both needed relief help. Two triples by Wayne Terwilliger featured the Broncos ' second-game attack. The top attraction of the home season was the visit of Michigan ' s Wolverines — later to be crowned Big Nine co-champs. With Bowdell facing Art Dole, the Michigan ace, the contest developed into a real thriller. Western built up an early 5-2 lead and then held off a Wolve rally to win 5-4. 1948 BASEBALL 232 1948 BASEBALL Next to feel the Bronco power were the Bowling Green Falcons who faltered 9-6 and 8-2. The opener, a ten-inning affair, featured Dick Groggel ' s hitting and Bow- dell ' s relief hurling. Duditch was the big noise in the second clash as he allowed only six hits. In a return engagement at Michigan State, the Broncos rolled to their twelfth straight win by downing the Spartans 6-5. A three-run homer by Fran Green in the eighth inning provided the game-winning blow. The Broncos ' long victory string finally came to an abrupt ending with a pair of set- backs at the hands of Notre Dame. In the first contest, the Irish pounded four Western moundsmen for 20 hits as they won easily 13-0. The following day, Notre Dame came from behind in the ninth to hand Bowdell a 4-3 defeat in the final game of the regular season. Western ' s fine record did not pass unnoticed, and the Brown and Gold entered the NCAA district play-off at Champaign, Illinois. The meet also involved Michigan and Illinois, Big Nine co-champs, as well as Ohio University ' s Mid-American leaders. In the first round Illinois bumped Ohio 6-2, while the Broncos won over Michigan 6-3. In this latter contest, Bowdell bested Wolve Art Dole for the second time with a sterling five-hit performance. Carlton Coss ' s eighth inning homer drove Dole from the mound and provided the Broncos ' winning tally.The following day, however, was a different tale. Illinois took an early three run lead and merely coasted to a 12-2 win. Four Bronco pitchers tried in vain to stop the rampaging lllini.

Returning were three veteran pitchers, two first basemen and a third sacker, as well as a pair of top outfielders. In addition, several reserves fronn 1948 and some graduates from last season ' s frosh were around to try for a berth on the Bronco nine. The outlook seemed bright as the squad made preparations for the first contest of its 25-game program. Pitching looked particularly strong, since all three mainstays of the ' 48 team — Gordon Bowdell, Gene Schlukebir, and George Duditch — were back. Besides, this trio could look for support from Jerry Hogan and Walt Koehler, ' 48 frosh stars, and from men like Bruce Sellers, Frank Lerchen, Frank Davis and Curt Predlger, varsity reserves last season. Catching, however, was causing Coach Maher some early spring worries. With Walt Young and Bill Kowalski gone from the previous year, It became necessary to select a backstop from among such candidates as Ned Stuits, Jim Bruny, John Young, and Walt Piggott. The infield looked good except for the hole at second left by graduate Wayne Terwilliger. Here, Jim Coleman, Twig ' s understudy, and Walt Southworth seemed to be the top prospects, with Bill Koch also making a bid. At first base Don Boven and Carlton Coss appeared set to battle it out again. Coss finished the ' 48 season with a .357 batting average. At third base the veteran Dick Groggel was back for his final year and shortstop candidates included Ted Plaza. ' 48 letterwinner, and Sophomore Scotty Wilson. Sophomore Marv Switier takes his turn the pit. The catcher is Ned Stuits. at batting practice 1949 BASEBALL 234 Carlton Coss, first baseman and one of the top hitters for two previous seasons. Heading the outfield candidates were Bob Pollard and Francis Green, both regulars -from the previous season and in addition, letterwinner Don Groggel was back seeking a spot on the first nine. Also, there were several others like Jack VanDongen, Lou Kramer, and Ted Bauer who were making a serious bid. VanDongen ' s hitting in early practice sessions was particularly impressive. The 1949 Broncos were to open their season at home with the University of Iowa and Chicago before leaving for a vacation trip through Indiana and Ohio. The year ' s play included a full slate of ten Mid-American Conference games and six tilts with Big Nine foes. Three contests with Notre Dame and a pair with Michigan State were also features of the program. 1949 BASEBALL 1949 SCHEDULE Ap Apr Ap Apr Apr Ap il 13-14 — Iowa at Kalamazoo il 16 — Chicago at Kalamazoo il 18-19 — Cincinnati at Cincinnati il 20-21— Ball State at Muncie il 22-23 — Miami at Oxford il 30 — Michigan State at Kalamazoo May 3 — Michigan at Ann Arbor May 6-7 — Ohio at Kalamazoo May 10 — Notre Dame at Kalamazoo May 13-14 — Butler at Kalamazoo May 20 — Michigan at Kalamazoo May 21 — Chicago at Chicago May 27-28 — Western Reserve at Kalamazoo May 30-3 I — Wisconsin at Madison June 3-4 — Notre Dame at South Bend June 6 — Michigan State at East Lansing 235 € .i) . iv Sturgls; Don Weiher, Toledo: Henry Jaqer, ; Martin Zimmerman, New York City.

The 1948 freshman baseball team faced an eight game program and came through with six wins and two defeats. Under the leadership of Coach Don Scott, the year- lings grabbed a pair of wins each from Tri-State College and Percy Jones, and split two game sets with Hope and the Michigan State JV ' s. Western opened the campaign with a fine 6-0 win over the Hope College varsity with big Walt Koehler holding the foe to a mere four hits. In the meantime, the Broncos made I I safeties to win easily. Gordon Gielczyk, third saclcer, pounded out three singles in three tries to lead the Bronco attack. The frosh continued on the victory path with a 10-2 triumph over Tri-State College of Angola, Indiana. Western jumped to a 8-2 advantage by the end of the third frame to sew up the win. Johnny Sedlock, on the mound for Western, allowed but three hits. Walt Koehler, playing in the outfield, and shortstop Arnie Palanca each contributed three hits for the winners. Next followed a pair of road defeats for the frosh. First, Hope got revenge for the earlier loss by downing Western 6-5 after trailing 5-0 earlier in the tilt. Then the Michigan State JV nine capitalized on four Bronco errors to spoil Koehler ' s five hitter 4-1. FRESHMAN BASEBALL 236 Western returned to winning ways with a fine 9-0 victory over Percy Jones at Batle Creek. This time it was Johnny Telatnik who handled the mound chores for the Broncs and he allowed the soldiers only five scattered hits. Some fine hitting by Koehler and Jack Misuraca featured Western ' s attack. In a return game at Tri-State, the yearlings won another 7-6. Arnie Palanca banged out five hits in five trips to the plate to take top honors for the day. His collection included a double and a triple. Western fared better in its second clash with the Michigan State JV ' s and came out with a 6-5 win. The winning run came in the ninth when Gene Daily banged out a single to right to score Scotty Wilson. Winning pitcher for the affair was Walt Koehler. The young Broncos closed their year with a second triumph over Percy Jones 12-5. After the soldiers had grabbed a two-run lead, Coach Scott ' s lads bounced back to score ten runs in two innings and give hurler John Brissaud his victory. Wetern had a similar program planned for its 1949 frosh baseball team. With Don Scott handling the golf squad, however, the ' 49 yearlings were tutored by Tom Slaughter, who also directed the frosh football and basketball teams. Included on the greenies program were a home-and-home series with Hope College varsity and with Flint Junior College and a single game at Grand Rapids Junior College.

Eddie holds the Bronco records for the high jump, broad junnp, and high hurdles. It is certain that Taylor ' s consistently fine performance on the cinders v ill be missed this spring. However, Ed is serving as assistant track coach. Coach Clayton Maus assumed the reins of the 1948 track squad and steered the Broncos into second place in their first year of M. A. C. competition. With many returning veterans Coach Maus is planning for a big track year at Western.

Varsity letter winners, Duane Formsma, Grand Rapids; and Andy Ness, Battle Creek, are absent from the picture. Captain Ed Taylor opened tlie 1948 outdoor track season for Western April 17, at the Kansas Relays, Lawrence, Kansas. Ed placed third in the 120 yard high hurdles behind Harrison Dillard, who skimmed the barriers for a new world record of 13.6 seconds. Taylor also placed in the high jump, sharing second place honors with Smith of Iowa. Dwight Eddleman of Illinois won the event with a 6 foot, 5 1-8 inch leap. The next week found Coach Maus ' cinder men at Philidelphia competing in the annual Penn Relays. Ed Taylor gained the only points for the Broncos by placing third in the high hurdles. The relay team of Earl Borr, Lyie LaPine, Dar Smith, and Lindy Davis competed in three races, but found the competition a little too stiff. Returning to Kalamazoo the Bronco thinclads met defeat at the hands of Marquette University ' s fine track squad by the score of 80-51. The star performer of the afternoon was Eddie Taylor who not only captured first places in the high hurdles, high jump, broad jump, and second place in the low hurdles, but broke his own broad jump record with a leap of 23 feet, 6 3-8 inches. The only other first place winner for the Broncos was George LeBrasseur who won the shot put. Western ' s track team seemed to be gathering steam when they invaded Indianapolis for their first Mid-American Conference competition of the season. The Broncos were defeated by the Butler University thinclads by the narrow margin of 2-3 of a point. The final score of this triangular meet was Butler 52 27-30, Wetsern 52 7-30, and Cincinnati 46 26-30. Taylor won the high jump and high hurdles, and added second place points in the low hurdles and the broad jump. Harold Humble, Western ' s 440 ace, recovered from an early season leg injury which had kept him out of previous outdoor competition to win the quarter mile event in a fast 49.8 seconds. The running of the 32nd annual State Intercollegiate Meet at Waldo Stadium brought some stellar performers to the hilltop, however, the ability of Bronco hurdle and high jump ace, Ed Taylor won him top individual honors of the day with a total of 18 points. Two State Intercollegiate records fell during the meet. Ed Taylor bettered the high jump mark by soaring to the height of 6 feet 5 1-4 inches. The other record went to Lorenzo Wright, Wayne University ' s broad jump artist, who set the new distance at 24 feet, 4 1-4 inches. Western ' s 440 star, Harold Humble, was just edged out of first place in his specialty by Walt Gruber from the University of Detroit in the fast time of 49.6 seconds. The Broncos gained points in the high jump, both hurdle races, broad jump, pole vault and mile relay, but Michigan Normal ' s team balance again won the meet for them. Western placed third beheind Michigan Normal and Wayne with a total of 25 1-8 points. A quick baton exchange between Harold Humble and Lindy Davis. 1948 TRACK 239 John Alden, miler: Ed Sedor- chulc. half miler; and George Mesico, shot putter warm up be- fore practice. The Bronco ' s trip to the windy city gave them their first victory of the outdoor season as they defeated Loyola University 86-55. Captain Taylor ' s able performance plus sweeping victories in the field events were largely responsible for the decisive victory. The Broncos swept the discus and javelin events, the broad jump, and the high jump and placed first and second in the shot put, pole vault, and both hurdle races. Western ' s top 440 man, Harold Humble, pulled a leg muscle during the race and it looked like Hal would be lost for the rest of the season. Many of the experts were surprised when the Broncos came out of the Mid-American meet at Athens, Ohio with a second place to the powerful Miami thinclads. How- ever, Western ' s cinder men had shown steady improvement all year and had gained the much needed team balance late in the season. In the drizzling rain and with a very soggy track, Ed Taylor won the high hurdles in 14.9 seconds, the low hurdles in 24.6 seconds, and leaped 6 feet, 3 inches to win the high jump, and give the Bronco star three conference records. Taylor also took second in the broad jump to bring his point total to 18 which was top for the day. Other Broncos to gain points were: Lyie LaPine, 2nd in the pole vault; Harold Hum- ble, 2nd in a hotly contested 440; John Alden, 3rd in the mile; Frank Oilman, 3rd in the broad jump and 5th in the discus; George LeBrasseur, 4th in the shot put; Duane Formsma, 4th in the high jump; Lindy Davis, 4th in the 100; and Loel Newton, 5th In the low hurdles. Western ' s mile relay squad of Earl Borr, Bill Baker, Lindy Davis, and Harold Humble drew a third in the blanket finish on the muddy track. The final team scoring was Miami U. 751 2, Western Michigan 451 2, Western Reserve 31, Ohio U. 19, Cincinnati 13, and Butler 13. The Bronco cindermen competed in the Michigan A. A. U. at Ypsilanti and gained points in the hurdles, high jump, pole vault and mile relay. Ed Taylor placed in the high hurdles at the Central Collegiate at Milwaukee, but was the only Bronco point winner in this meet. Ed Taylor, who paced the thinclads all season with his consistent performances in the hurdles and jumping events, was the only Bronco to represent Western in the Olympic Trials at Evanston. Ed just missed making the trip to London as he placed fifth in the final high hurdle race and only three men were taken. The fact that it was an Olympic year brought out the best in track competition and the Bronco trackmen showed much improvement under the pressure of Olympic competi- tion. 1948 TRACK 240 The Michigan A. A. U. meet at Yost Fieldhouse in Ann Arbor was the opening track event of the indoor season for most of the colleges in the state, including Western. The only Bronco to place in this meet was Hal Humble, captain of this year ' s thinclads and star quarter miler. Hal placed fourth in the invitational 440 against the best middle distance men in the state. The Broncos completed in the Michigan State Relays and in the Central Collegiate Conference Meet, boJh of which were held at East Lansing, but failed to gain any points in these affairs. The Bronco thinclads traveled to Milwaukee to meet the Marquette University Hilltoppers and met defeat to the tune of 77-28. Three records fell in the rather lopsided affair on the indoor oval at Marquette as the Broncos were outclassed in every event. Western took seven seconds and five thirds while the remaining places went to the powerful Milwaukee team. Bill Alman was the leading scorer for the Broncos, gaining second place in the record breaking mile and third in the half mile where the record was also lowered. University of Chicago ' s Maroons played hosts to the Broncos in a dual meet, and the Western thinclads lost their second in a row by a score of 70-39. Although the Broncos were defeated, they were a much improved team to the one that met Marquette the week before. With George LeBrasseur leading the way, the weightmen made a clean sweep of the shot-put. The Broncos gained wins in the mile where Russ Gabier outclassed the Maroon miler with a 4:27.4, in the 440 as Humble coasted to an easy victory, and in the 60 yard dash with Fran Green covering the distance in 6.5 seconds. March 8 the Mausmen entertained Albion ' s trackmen in an evening meet in Western ' s gym to gain their initial win of the season. The Bronco speedsters gained firsts in every event except the low hurdles and the two mile run. Western earned 67 points to 33 for the Britons and walked away with the meet. The eight lap relay mark was lowered by the relay combination of Fran Green, Ruben Merritt, Bill Baker, and Earl Borr. Russ Gabier, sophomore miler and two miler who has been consistently out in front for the Broncos. 1949 INDOOR TRACK 241 George LeBrassuer, veteran shot-putte placed first In four of the five indoc meets this season. Competing in fhe Illinois Tech relays at the Univer- sity of Chicago fieldhouse the Bronco thinclads placed three men. Captain Hal Humble placed third in the 440 behind Cagney of Loyola, while George LeBrasseur and George Mesko placed third and fourth in the shot put. These two weight men have shown considerable improvement since last year. Western gained its second indoor track victory over Central Michigan by a margin of 65 2-3 to 34 1-3 in the home gym. The Mausmen gained firsts in all events except the pole vault, half mile, and low hurdles. Duane Formsma and Russ Gabier shared honors with two firsts apiece for the high individual scoring for the Broncos. Jim Little of the Chippewas gained firsts in the half mile, low hurdles, and second in the high hurdles to top their efforts. Western ' s weight men, LeBrasseur and Mesko, placed first and second in their event and the Broncos won both relay events. Wayne University downed the Broncos on their home ground by a conclusive 69-29 score for the hilltop thinclads ' third defeat of the indoor sea- son. The performance of Western ' s sophomore distance star was the outstanding feature of the meet as Gabier won both the mile and two-mile events, lapping Wayne ' s runners in the two mile. The only other Bronco first place was scored by George LeBrasseur in the shot-put with a heave of 44 feet, 3I 2 inches. Foley, the Tartar ' s pole vault ace, broke the old gym record by soaring to the height of 12 feet 5 inches. Another gym record was captured by the Wayne eight lap relay team with a time a full two seconds under the old mark. Western wound up its indoor track season with a record of two wins and three losses in dual meet competition. The squad showed considerable improvement during the season and Coach Maus expects additional men to round into shape with the advent of outdoor practice. 1949 INDOOR TRACK 242 Western opened the 1949 outdoor track season against Central Michigan at Mount Pleasant on April 12. Then followed a trip to Lawrence, Kansas, where the Kansas Relays attracted some of the nation ' s top stars. The Kansas meet was held April 23, during Western ' s spring vacation. After returning home, the Broncos faced the strong Marquette track delegation that had previously beaten the Mausmen in indoor competition. May 7 the Bronco thinclads tasted their first conference competition of the year in the form of a triangular meet with Butler and Cincinnati. Then followed the annual State Intercollegiate meet, staged as usual at Waldo Stadium, and a dual affair with Loyola of Chicago, also on the home track. May 30 was the big day for Western for It saw the Broncos play host for the f rst time to the Mid-American track and field finals. The meet showed promise of being a close battle, although defending champion Miami entered in the favorites ' role. With the conference championship decided, the Broncos finished the year with competition in the Central Collegiate meet at Milwaukee and possibly a few entries in the N.C.A.A. gathering at Los Angeles.

Western ' s freshmen competed in only one meet during the outdoor track season last year. The yearling thinclads were downed 76-67 by Grand Rapids Junior College in a dual meet at Waldo Stadium May 25. The Bronco frosh took their share of the first places, but their team balance was not enough to overpower the invaders from Grand Rapids. Both teams took seven first places In the afternoon meet and several good times were recorded. Russ Gabier, frosh distance star from Cadillac, was the only double winner of the afternoon for the local thinclads. Russ won both the mile and two mile events with ease. Gabler ' s winning time in the mile run of 4:32.2 tied the freshman track record. Gabier competed later In the season In the Michigan A.A.U. meet at Ypsilanti where there is no rule against freshmen competing and gained a second in the mile. The winner of the race was Michigan Normal ' s distance star Al PIngel and for a part of the race it looked like the Bronco freshman might win. Plngel ' s finishing kick was too much for Russ although he turned in an excellent time of 4:24. FRESHMAN TRACK 244 The ' 49 Bronco yearlings lost their first meet of the season when they met Fort Wayne North high school ' s hard running squad in Western ' s gym. Two gym records fell to the frosh and one was tied by the visitors as the Broncos lost by a 48-43 score. A bad pass on the eight lap relay cost the freshmen the winning points even though they unofficially broke the record. Joe Bryant was the first of the freshmen to lower a record with a 50 feet 7 inch shot put. The old mark was 46 feet 3I 2 inches. The other record-breaking performance was the frosh 12 lap relay team that lowered the old mark by 5.3 seconds with a time of 3:12.5 turned in by Vincent, Lewis, DerHammer, and Morris. The high point man of the evening was Joe Bryant with a total of 8 1-3 points. Freshman hurdle ace, Don Teichman, was close behind with a first in the highs and a second in the lows for a total of 8 points. In their second and final dual meet of the indoor season the Bronco frosh were edged out of a victory by the Wayne frosh and junior varsity teams by a score of 54 1-3 to 44 2-3. Don Teichman was the individual star for the Broncos with wins in both hurdle races, however, Bryant was not far behind posting a first in the shot and second in the highs. The individual star of the meet was Smith of Wayne who gathered 13 points by winning the pole vault and the 40 yard dash, and placing second behind Teichman in the low hurdles. Tom Morris was successful in the 440 and the Broncos took the eight lap relay for the remaining first places. Although the freshman outdoor schedule has not been officially posted there will be a meet with Grand Rapids Junior College sometime during the season. Coach Maus is planning some to have the frosh compete more than once this spring and the remaining meets are pending. Several of the freshman thinclads showed by their performances in indoor competition that they have the makings of varsity material for next year ' s squad. Don Teichman, Joe Bryant, and Tom Morris all turned in fine performances in their specialties while many others have been developing and the outdoor season may reveal new possibilities- Don Teichman skims the barriers to win the high hurdles for the Bronco frosh against the Tartar ' s frosh and J. V. squads. 245 Back row: Dick Hanna, Kalamaioo; Coach M. J. Gary; Bill Heyn. Bridgman. Front row: Chuck Knox, Royal Oak; Chuck Hohn, Hunting- ton Woods; Val Bleech, Parchment. Dick Kelly, the sixth award winner is absent from the picture. Western ' s 1948 gol-f team faced a schedule of 13 mafches in addifion fo fhe Mid- American Conference nnee+ing and managed fo capture seven victories and a third place finish in the league tourney. The Bronco llnlcsmen opened their year with a rather disastrous trip through Indiana. Kentucky and Tennessee. While on the trip Western played five matches and gathered only a 10-0 win over Tennessee. The Kalamazooans bowed to Butler I l ' 2 ' 2 ' Louis- ville 9l 2-8 ' 2i Vanderbilt ll ' 2-6 ' 2, and Kentucky 13-5 before returning home. Back in Michigan once more, the Broncos ' fortunes improved. Western downed Michigan State in a novel ten-man match 26l 2-l8 ' 2 s Dick Hanna grabbed medalist honors with a 75. Then the Broncos swamped University of Detroit 10-2 and tied Toledo 6-6 in a three-way match at Detroit. This time, Chuck Hohn took medalist honors with a 74. While in Detroit, the golfers also took time to nose out Wayne in a dual match 9I 2-8I 2. In a return match with Michigan State, the Spartans got revenge for an earlier loss by downing the Broncs 231 2-2 1 1 2. Chuck Knox and Val Bleech of Western together with State ' s Bob Newman all fired 74 ' s. Three more victories rounded out the dual match competition. The Brown and Gold downed Toledo 18-9, Detroit I4I 2-3I 2, and Wayne 14-7 as they made final prepara-iion for their first trip to a conference meet. In the Mid-American golf tourney at Athens, Ohio, the Broncos emerged with a third place, only six strokes behind champion Miami. For the 72 hole distance Western ' s foursome totalled 612 strokes, while Miami ' s winning total was 606. Butler finished second with a 607 score. 1948 GOLF 246 1949 GOLF The 1949 golfers had a tough 17-ma+ch program arranged for them. Among the feature contests were dual matches with Cincinnati and Ohio of the Mid-American loop, home-and-home sets with Wayne, Valparaiso, Loyola of Chicago, and Toledo, and a pair of triangular matches. Of course, the climax of the year ' s activities was the Mid-American Conference meet held in Kalamazoo late in May. The Bronco linksmen also had a new coach for the ' 49 campaign. Don Scott, former frosh coach and now manager of the Union bulding and dormitories, returned to the coaching field to direct the golfers. For the nucleus of his squad. Coach Scott had three letterwinners from ' 48 — Chuck Knox, Dick Kelly, and Dick Hannah. In addition, Bob Cole, Jim Beadle, and Dean Wilson, reserves last spring, were returning for another season. Cole also won his varsity golf award in 1946.

Front row: Don Constant, Grand Haven; Captain Arnie Brown, Detroit; John Mil- roy, Kalamazoo; John Lychuk, Detroit. Coach Kim Peterson ' s first year as tennis mentor for Western was seriously hampered by lack of courts on which to play and practice. After winning four and losing eight meets during the season, the Bronco netters went on to place second in the MicT American conference behind Cincinnati. With the new courts finished this year the ' 49 Western tennis squad should not have so many obstacles to overcome. The seven varsity letters were awarded to Captain Arnie Brown, John Milroy, Jim Jankowski, Bill Lightvoet, Don Constant, Ray Postema, and John Lychuk. The southern trip was successful for the Bronco netmen despite the adverse weather conditions. The initial meet of the season with Vanderbilt saw Western sweep the singles before the rains came and play had to be discontinued. Although it was a 6-0 victory for Western, four of the six singles matches were three-set battles. After being rained out of the matches scheduled with South Carolina and Presby- terian, the sun came out for the first time during the trip and the Broncos defeated Mississippi 8-1 at Oxford, Mississippi. Arnie Brown, Captain and number-one man for the Broncos, was absent from this meet as he was competing in the National Table Tennis Tournament at Columbus, Ohio. The netmen moved up a notch and took the Mississippians in stride, dropping only the number three doubles match. To compensate for the schedule upset due to the rain. Western met Vanderbilt University again at Nashville, Tennessee. Without the help of Arnie Brown the Broncos found the Vanderbilt netmen a worthy foe. Jankowski, Postema, and Lychuk were the three singles winners, while Milroy, Lightvoet and Constant fell In the indi- vidual play. Western won two of the three doubles matches to gain a close 5-4 victory and send the netters home from the rainy South undefeated. After three weeks without competition and hampered by lack of courts for practice, the Broncos found the Michigan tennis squad a tough opponent. The Wolverines blanked Western on the Ann Arbor courts rather easily with every match a two set tilt. 1948 TENNIS 248 Next on the Bronco tennis schedule was the Northwestern squad and again the Kalannazooans were blanked 9-0. Arnie Brown fell 6-4, 6-4 to the Wildcats ' number one man, Peterson, and John Milroy forced a three set decision before being defeated 6-2, 3-6, 7-5. The Bronco netmen were foiled again as they fell before a powerful Cincinnati team 8-1 in their first Mid-American conference meet at Cincinnati. The doubles team of Brown and Milroy was the only successful combination of the day for the Broncos as they won 2-6, 9-7, 6-3 in a three set battle. At Champaign, Illinois, the Broncos again met a 9-0 defeat. Although the lllini netters managed to win every match, Western forced four of the singles and one of the doubles matches to the full three-set limit. Notre Dame invaded Kalamazooo next and trounced the Broncos on the Kalamazoo College courts 7-2. Jankowski won the number four singles match, but all the re- maining individual tilts went to the Irish. In the doubles play Jankowski and Postema were the only successful combination against the team from South Bend. The day after dropping a home match to Notre Dame the Bronco netmen journeyed to East Lansing where they lost, 9-0 to a strong Michigan State team on the Spartan courts. In Detroit the Western Michigan College tennis team gave Wayne University a real battle before losing by a close 5-4 score. Jim Jankowski, John Milroy, and John Lychuk won their singles matches against the Tartars. All three doubles matches went the full limit but Lightvoet and Constant were the only combination that won for the Broncos. Grand Rapids J. C. visited Kalamazoo and was beaten 9-0 by the Western netters. This victory made the season record four wins against eight losses going into the Mid-American meet at Athens, Ohio. MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE In the Mid-American conference meet held May 28 and 29 at Ohio University, the Broncos placed second behind a strong Cincinnati team. Arnie Brown went all the way to the singles finals before losing to Thorgny Haanes of Cincy 6-1, 6-3. Brown and Milroy made the doubles finals, but were also beaten by the Cincy doubles team of Thomas and Haanes, 6-1, 8-6. In the Central Collegiate meet Arnie Brown was beaten by John Shingleton of Michigan State. John Milroy defeated U. of D. star Walt English before he lost to Al Reynolds, also of Michigan State. 1948 SEASON RECORD WESTERN 6— Vanderbilt WESTERN 8— Mississippi I WESTERN 5— Vanderbilt 4 Western 0— MICHIGAN 9 Western 0— NORTHWESTERN 9 Western I— CINCINNATI 8 Western 0— ILLINOIS 9 Western 2— NOTRE DAME 7 Western 0— MICHIGAN STATE 9 Western 4— WAYNE 5 WESTERN 9— Grand Rapids J.

In past years the Broncos have been un- able to entertain many of their opponents because of lack of facilities, and have been seriously hampered by lack of practice space. The addition of the six courts, rated with the best in the nation, will not only alleviate these handicaps, but will Increase the interest In tennis on the hilltop. This spring the Broncos played four meets at home compared with the one or two that were possible in past years. The netmen entertained the tennis teams of Wayne, Cincinnati, Michigan State, and Northwestern on the new courts when they returned from their annual southern trip. In addition to the dual meets. Western sponsored the Mid-American conference tournament on Bronco territory May 27 and 28. The Broncos were second in con- ference play last year at Ohio University to the powerful Cincinnati netters. It is expected that the conference race this year will again be between Cincinnati and Western. Some of the finest tennis competition in the nation met at Kalamazoo when the Central Collegiate Conference tournament got under way June 2, 3, and 4 on the hilltop courts. This was the first time this meet had been held at Western and local fans had the opportunity of seeing the tennis stars of a majority of the mid-western schools excluding the Big Nine. Western ' s new tennis courts should add much to the future of intercollegiate tennis on the hilltop. 250 Coach Kim Peterson entered his second year as tennis coach at Western facing a tough schedule of eleven meets and two conference tournaments. The squad this year boasts five returning lettermen who are being pushed by several new can- didates for varsity berths. The five veteran netmen include John Milroy of Kalama- zoo, Jim Jankowski and John Lychuk of Detroit, Don Constant of Grand Haven, and Ray Postema of Muskegon. The loss of Arnie Brown by graduation was felt considerably, as Arnie was number one singles man last year and teamed with Milroy helped to make up the top doubles combination. John Milroy is the only senior on the squad, while Jankowski, Postema, and Lychuk are juniors and Constant is a sophomore. Among the candidates from whom Coach Peterson hopes to draw some varsity material are John Bailey from Battle Creek, Bill Sagin of Detroit, Norm Deiters of Muskegon Heights, John Kellogg of Battle Creek, Dave Kistler of Kalamazoo, and Ivan Elovitch of Gary, Indiana. 1949 TENNIS SCHEDULE April 19— Vanderbilt at Nashville April 20 — Southwestern at Memphis April 21 — Alabama at Tuscaloosa April 22 — Mississippi at University April 29 — Wayne at Kalamazoo April 30 — Cincinnati at Kalamazoo May 5 — Notre Dame at South Bend May 1 1 — Michigan State at Kalamazoo May 12 — Northwestern at Kalamazoo May 2! — Michigan State at East Lansing May 27, 28 — Mid-American Conference at Kalamazoo June 2, 3, A — Central Collegiate Conference at Kalamazoo John Milroy, singles veteran and senior member of the 1949 tennis squad. 1949 TENNIS 251 Intramural director, Clayton Maus, and assistant, Budd Morris. The intramural sports program at Western during the past year has included a wide enough variety of activities to include nearly everyone in at least one activity. The largest of these activities, intramural basketball, included over 500 men who played a total of 378 games. The three main sports of the department, touch foot- ball, basketball, and Softball were participated in by about 800 men during the year. Although these three are the major sports of the department, there are many other activities that round out the year ' s program. There are tournaments in table tennis, handball, horse shoes, volley ball, golf, archery, and tennis. There is a bowling league of twelve teams that plays a complete round each semester. In the spring the department sponsors a spring track carnival that attracts many contenders. The intramural department is organized under Clayton Maus, Director of Intra- murals, who is capably assisted by Budd Norrls. Two student directors are appointed each semester. John Good and Dave Sharphorn served in this capacity during the first semester, and Jim Armitage and Tony Marfia were the second semester student aides. The boxing team, coached by Roy Wieti, presented another successful boxing show in Western ' s gym on December 16. A large crowd filled the gym to watch the nine closely matched bouts and received many boxing thrills during the evening.

The Disc Jockeys, captained by Vince Montie, maintained their unbeaten, untied record by defeating the dorm champions from Goddard Hall 18-0. The Disc Jockeys scored on a Noorthoek-to-Terwilliger pass and then turned tables and scored on a Terwilliger-to-Noorthoek toss. The final tally was made by George Brady who blocked a Goddard punt in the end zone and fell on it to rack up six points. During the intermission the Disc Jockeys crowned their homecoming queen, Mary Jane Terwilliger, before the enthusiastic spectators at the stadium. Although the score was lopsided, the losing Goddard gridders played good football but couldn ' t seem to hit pay dirt. The Flintites basketball team, captained by Les Gratton, went through the season with 13 wins and no losses to win the intramural basketball championship and trophy. In the semi-finals the Flintites needed an overtime period to defeat the College Inn quintet 29-28. in the final championship game the Flintites were matched with the Berrien Bullets and managed to beat them 35-31 in a close game.

Western possesses one of the finest physical education programs in the country. Not only does the department provide for the instruction of physical education majors and minors, but it also makes possible a fine program for the general student at the college. Each male student at Western is required to complete 12 hours in the department unless excused by reason of a physical handicap. Veterans, too, are granted physical education credit because of their military or naval service. At present, the facilities of the department are overcrowded, and future plans call for a greatly expanded plant to handle the combined needs of the physical education programs, the Intercollegiate athletic teams, and the intramural system. The curriculum for majors In Physical Education is as complete as any to be found. The men In this field receive at Western a sound training to fully equip them for their work ahead, included in the program are required courses dealing with the fundamentals of football, basketball, baseball, and track, and certain courses planned to give a knowledge of techniques for vocations In physical education and recreation. The value of the physical education training at Western Michigan is reflected In the many Bronco graduates who now claim brilliant coaching and teaching records. A physical education class in progress at Western. 254 ADVERTISERS INDEX Page Ann Arbor Trust Co 272 Arctic Ice Cream 265 Bard Steel and Mill Supply 267 Bermingham and Prosser 265 Billingham, M. C.
