Western is comparatively young. However, throughout the years of its growth, various annual events have become important dates in the calendar of college activities. We, of the Brown and Gold staff, have taken a cross-section of these events, put them into pictorial form so tfiat in the later years, you, who leave each year, may open your 1950 Brown land Gold and have these happy moments efreshed in your memory. tCv ' J As Western grows, so will its traditions, and we sincerely hope that our sm« effort in pointing out the pasf ana preser traditions will tend to strenghten them fc those we leave behind. s John A.

PAUL V. SANGREN Congratulations to the staff of the 1950 Brown and Gold for a superb publication! The composition ond content of the 1950 annual will certainly give the staff a tremendous satisfaction. It will give great pleasure to Western ' s 4,000 students because of the numerous college events and friendships which it recalls. The year 1949-1950 has been another significant year in Western ' s history. The largest enrollment in the history of the college; the octupalion of four new buildings at a cost of $4,000,000; the graduation of the largest number of students (about 1100); the certification on a four-year degree basis of the largest number of teachers (about 700); the inauguration of the new west campus — these are some significant things in Western ' s history which the new 1950 Brown and Gold recalls for our memories. PAUL V. SANGREN the hunter ADMINISTRATION 16 Dr. Wynand Wichers Completing his fifth year on Western ' s campus, Vice-president Dr. Wynand Wichers has become an integral part in the growth of the college. He has taken an active part in the planning of the new campus and has cooperated with the student-faculty committee in solving the many complex problems that have arisen as a result of the ex- pansion of the college to two separate sites. John C. Hoekje Probably one of the busiest men on campus is Mr. John C. Hoekje, Dean of Administra- tion. However, he still is ready to analyze and offer specific advice to students who come to him with their many problems. Mr. Hoekje not only handles the multitude of details of registration, he maintains a close touch on student activities through the many committees that he heads. He is an ardent Western fan and has done much to further the cause of athletics at Western. Leonard Gernant As assistant Registrar, Mr. Leonard Gernant has the task of supervising the records of each and every student. He supervises the task of recording grades, scholastic ratings, school files and other information that is needed to aid in the running of an institution of Western ' s size. Along with these tasks, Mr. Gernant aids the Dean of Administra- tion in the many problems that arise in con- nection with registration. DR. GEORGE H.

To work with the administration on student-faculty committees, to develop more active participation in student government and to make the existing Council activities more efficient and complete were some of the responsibilities of the group during the last year. Elected in April, 1949, President John Bright proved to be an earnest and able leader. While under his guidance, the Council became a member of the National Student Association. Also of importance was the establishment of a student-faculty council. STUDENT COUNCIL 96 Vice-President John Lees supervised all social activities of the Student Council until his graduation in January, when his duties were taken over by Dorman Duncan. A new system of keeping the Council ' s finances was instituted by Charles Ludlow, Treasurer. Upon his graduation, he was succeeded by Jim Morgan. In addition to serving as Auditor, Paul Pihlstrand acted as chairman of the Problem Committee. Back row: Charles Ludlow. Front row: John Lees, Al Wargo, Marge Bowles, James Morgan, Paul Pihlstrand.

The compiling, editing, and publishing of the Bronco Book for freshmen, was the first activity of the year for Publicity Director Al Wargo. By Homecoming week-end at the last of October, the Student-Faculty Directory, which was also edited by Al, had made its appearance. Throughout the year, new committees were formed, and with the already estab- lished ones, worked to realize the many important objectives of the Council. 98 STUDENT COUNCIL Among the more active committees of the Student Council this year were the NSA, the radio, and the constitution committees. Western joined the National Student Association in April 1949. The NSA campus committee, headed by Don Gray, who was also elected NSA regional vice-president, attended several state and regional meets during the year. On campus the committee sponsored an open forum panel discussion on Student Rights with administrators, faculty and students participating. The constitution committee was formed to revise the Student Association constitution as it was felt that the constitution in effect was inadequate to meet the needs of the growing student body. This committee was under the leadership of John Lees during the first semester and after his graduation at midyear, John Bigelow. At the time this edition of the Brown and Gold went to press the new Constitution w as awaiting approval of the Student Activities Committee and the Student Associations before being submitted to the student body at the spring elections. In October of 1949 the Student Council appointed a committee, headed by Roger Weiher, which was to investigate the possibility of establishing a radio station operating on a carrier wave. The purpose of such a station as formulated would be to furnish a communication service to the dormitories in the way of announce- ments of current and future activities and to offer a field of instruction for those interested in the field of radio. Dr. Paul V. Sangren gave his tentative approval to the project by setting up a faculty committee to work with the student committee. After a great deal of research and work it was decided to operate the station on a one year trial basis. NSA Committee: John Bright, Eugene Browning, Don Gray, Donna Kowalski, Ken Gray. 99 BROWN AND GOLD Editor-in-Chief John Kish Plans for the contents of the 1950 edition of the Brown and Gold were inaugurated in May 1949, when John Kish was appointed to the post of Editor-in-Chief by the Student Council President. Covers for the 1950 annual were designed and ordered during the summer, and with the opening of the Fall semester, plans were underway as to the theme of the book. It was decided that the front feature section of the book should depict the traditional events of college life. There are many events that occur throughout the year and it was quite difficult to decide what should appear in this section. With the competent help of the Associate-Editor, Jerilee Denison, a cross-section of these events was decided on and duly represented. The opening pages brings to the student the dances, athletic events, college affairs, senior activities and the spirit that prevails at the Christmas holiday season. John received much help from the Art Editor, Charles Breed, and his assistant, Jini Sprietsma. The opening page layouts were planned by the editor with Jerilee ' s pertinent comments and the division pages were the creations of Chuck Breed. Jini is responsible for the crests that appear on the pages of the social fraternities. Business Manager Carl Horan 100 ii Associate Editor Jerilee Denison proofs returned pages of the annual. The financial affairs of the annual were capably handled by Carl Horan and his business staff of Rosylyn Yaggee, Eddy Dow, and John Bigelow. The budget was made out with the help of the Editor and submitted for approval at the beginning of the college year. Carl Horan supervised the work of the advertising salesmen, Rosylyn Yaggee, Eddy Dow, Ronald Denison, Roger McGlynn and John Bigelow and prepared the layout of the advertising. The Associate-Editor, Jerilee Denison had complete charge of the staff members, Joan Guillaume, Joyce English, Grace Davis, Nancy Anderson, Glenna Boyer, Joanne Ruden, Donna Kowalski, Marilyn Bergstrom, and Pat Jenks, who handled the miscellaneous jobs that go into the make-up of the annual, such as, indexing, rubber cementing and typing. Jerilee has done a marvelous job. Her proficient handling of the copy and timely ideas that appear in the Brown and Gold have been of inestimatable worth. She has proved to be an invaluable aide. Photography for the Brown and Gold was edited by John Kish with Howard Engelsby taking care of the organizational photos. Gene Frazier covered the women ' s athletic section. The feature photos that appear in the book are the work of John Kish. The photography staff spent many long hours in preparation of the pictorial side of the annual. Art Editor Charles Breed and his assistant Jini Spriets glance over art work for the yearbook. Don Hayes, Sports Editor, compiles sport section. t Staff photographer Howard Englesby points out printing procedure to Gene Frazier. Tony Baldwin, Beverly Austin and Albino Kamsickas ing in assembly line fashion on yearbook copy. Beverly Austin is responsible for most of the copy in the organization section. Albina Kamsickas did much of the typing for the book. Tony Baldwin and John McCall handled the writing of the activities section. Sports was covered by Sports Editor, Don Hayes with Sterling Breed as his assistant. Information on all phases of athletic events were gathered throughout the fall and winter in order to present a complete and accurate rundown of the sport program at Western. Once again the section was planned with the Mid-American Conference as the focal point. The production of so complex a book as a college annual requires a constant service. The editor and a few of his staff devoted much of their vacation time throughout the year in various capacities. The class section was put together during the Christmas vacation. John Kish with the aid of Howard Englesby spent many hours in the darkroom to insure an even flow of pictures to the engravers. Arrangements for class pictures to be taken, making appointments for photos, scheduling organizations for pictorial coverage, preparing work for the engravers, writing copy, page layouts, indexing, and telephone call after telephone call, are just a few of the jobs that have kept the editor and his staff busy throughout the year. The fall of the year also witnessed the removal of the Brown and Gold offices from the old Ty-House to the more spacious quarters now enjoyed in the Temporary Building. This moving created further difficulties that were competently handled by the staff. These various phases of staff work lead to the ultimate end- — the publication of an annual that contains a comphrehensive record of activities engaged in by the students of Western Michigan College. Advertising salesmen Eddy Dow, Ros John Bigelow assimulating ad copy. Lynn Yaggee and General staff members begin the tremendous job of indexing. They are Joanne Ruden, Glenna Boyer, Nancy Anderson Joan Guillaume, Joyce English, Grace Davis. HERALD Editor-in-Chief Charles Klein To keep in pace with the increased enrollment and the growing campus of Western, the Western Herald increased its circulation to 4,000 copies, and began distributing papers from eight points, including the usual one, the Administration building, Burnham Hall, Draper Hall, McCracken Hall, Maybee Hall, the Union, directly from the print shop, and to extension students in Battle Creek. Soon after their appointments as editor and business manager respectively, Chuck Klein and Dick Wilkie began the task of moving the Herald office from its former spot in the Administration building to the Temporary building. Here they began to make plans for coming school year editions. Chuck with the invaluable aid of his editorial staff directed the writing, layouts, editing, and proofreading of the Herald. Each week 4,000 copies were distributed to the students, faculty, and alumni. The important job of keeping the books, laying out ads, and handling all the business affairs was competently handled by Dick Wilkie. With the help of Chuck, Dick revised the advertising system and was able to double the income from adver- tising in the Herald. Business Manager Richard Wilkie 103 Dick Wilkie, Chuck Klein, Bill Condon, Stan Widdas, Danny Weber, Connie Danneberg. Barbara Fricke, Grace Davis, Maxine Kohloff, Nancy Brannan, George Ongley, Chuck Mefford. Associate Editor Connie Danneberg and News Editor Stan Widdas spent many long hours of hard work in preparing the Herald for publication. Their fine efforts proved invaluable to Chuck. Bill Condon, Feature Editor, and Joyce Passon, who substituted for Bill during his leave of absence, worked diligently to produce feature pages that would be enjoyed by the readers. Sports were ably handled by Sports Editor Danny Weber who upon leaving turned over the job to Chuck Mefford, second semester Sports Editor. Circulation manager Nancy Brannan handled the task of distributing and mailing Heralds to the readers. Photography was again handled this year by John Kish. Through the efforts of John and Chuck Klein many more pictures were used in the Herald this year. Largely through the splendid efforts of Chuck Klein and Dick Wilkie the Herald was able to publish two literary magazines, a special Homecoming edition, an April Fool ' s edition, and a special high school edition. Special thanks was given to Miss Blanche Draper of the college publicity department and Mr. Lawrence Brink of the printing department who have made the production of the paper much easier. Pins were given to staff members for their service to the Herald. A Christmas party was held at Schulers in Marshall for the staff. At the close of the year the Herald and Brown and Gold staffs took part in the annual Publications banquet.

This year of innovations found the Thursday open houses gaining popularity by being held in the evenings as well as late afternoons. Again the lounge on the second floor of the Union v as open every day for the convenience of all Western men. Here pool, ping pong, cards, checkers and chess as well as current magazines and radio programs helped to relieve the strain of classroom work. At Homecoming time the board revived the pre-war Freshman-Sophomore class battle. A crowd of several hundred students witnessed the victory of the Freshmen in a tug of war, chicken fight and wheelbarrow race.

In carrying out its aims of representing all social fraternities at Western, of assisting them with their problems, and of promoting a general feeling of friendship between its members, the Inter-Fraternity Council had another busy and successful year. Important activities included co-sponsorship of the All-Student Christmas party, semester rush parties and dances. Two new fraternities, Beta Beta Beta and Sigma Alpha Delta, were formed with the help of the council. The council also revised its constitution to include a non-re- striction clause. During the year numerous awards were given to the fraternities by the council for excellence in intramural football, softball, basketball, and track. Also at the senior convocation assembly a special award was given to the Outstanding Fraternity Man of the Year. Membership of the Inter-Fraternity Council consists of two representatives from each social fraternity on campus. For the past year officers were Richard Wilkie, Presi- dent; Fred Bailey, Vice-President; Don Popilek, Secretary and Herb Andrews, Treas- urer.

Officers for the past year were Robert Palmatier, Chairman; David Crawford, Vice-Chairman; Jacqueline Clarke, Secretary-Treaurer and Dr. Robert Friedman, Sponsor. PHILOSOPHY FORUM 172 SPEECH CLUB The motto of the Speech Club is: If you can talk, the Speech Club needs you; if you can ' t talk, you need the Speech Club. With this in mind the Speech Club planned its many activities for the year. The group helped to judge preliminary oratory and extempore speakers, many of whom are club members, who were to represent Western. Other club members acted as receptionists, information booth attendants, and chairmen for visiting debate teams. In the spring members aided in publicizing the World Student Service Fund Drive. Among the social functions of the club were the Christmas party, a tobogganing party, and a picnic which concluded the year ' s activities.

Next, Spindlerites were kept busy making the lawn decorations which won second prize in the Homecoming contest. The annual Thanksgiving coffee in the rec room, the dorm Christmas party, and the yearly Christmas breakfast were three other events held by the girls. The Blue Room was the scene of a tea honoring the faculty. To bring the social whirl to a close for 1949, Spindler residents, together with their neighbors at Walwood, sponsored the inter-dorm formal Night of Knights. Second semester activities included another open house, a Mothers ' Day luncheon, a supper party on the lawn, and another faculty tea. A farewell dinner for the June graduates ended a busy year for the girls at Spindler. First semester officers were Barbara Beck, President; Marie Large, Vice-President; Molly Simons, Secretary and Barbara Burk, Treasurer. Mrs. Katherine Parsons, house mother, and Mrs. Helen Inman, assistant house mother, were assisted by student counselors Pat Korn, Marge Silver, Dona Globig and Mary Sackett. SPINDLER HALL 212 DRAPER HALL With the beginning of the school year this past fall, more expansion on the new West campus was in progress. By the beginning of the second semester, nearly half of the new women ' s dorm was ready for occupancy by 225 girls. One unit of the twin dormitory, composed of Draper and Siedschlag Halls, was named in honor of Western ' s beloved Miss Blanche Draper who has long and devotedly held the position of Publicity Director at Western. Similar to the Burnham Halls, Draper Hall boasts of two-room suites, accomodating two women each, a spacious lounge and dining hall, a modern and attractive lobby, and a well-equipped recreation room.

B G FANTASIES WAYNE BURDICK JOHN SENIOR The 1950 production of the Brown and Gold Fantasies was presented May 5th and 6th in the Central High School Auditorium. The script writers took the title Fantasies , for its literal meaning when, developing the theme on a satire of the trials and tribulations of getting the Fantasies together, they allowed the production staff, in the play, to start work the summer before the spring production at a summer resort hotel, Holiday Hills. Music directors were portrayed by Al Micatratto, with his flute, and Al Spronz, with his bass-viol. Another favorite son of Western, Ted Bauer, added his rare wit to keep the show moving. One more high-light of this year ' s musical was Ted Smith ' s revival of Girl From the College on the Hill from the Fantasies of 1947. All the many and varied activities to bring about a good show were coordinated by Producer Wayne Burdick and Director John Senior. A well chosen cast from the student body, supported and guided by the all student production staff, proved again for the 5th consecutive year that Western has the talent and ability necessary to produce a musical comedy, tops in entertainment. Maestero Micafratto and Professor Spronz ' tootin ' some sweet notes. 218 our athletics flUe4 u£ IN MEMORIUM . Judson A. Hyames, Director of Athletics and Baseball Coach at Western Michigan College for many years, died on August 19, 1949. Mr. Hyames was responsible not only for the prominence which Western has attained In athletics, but also for the reputation and prestige which the Department of Physical Education enjoys in the field of teacher preparation. He was a man of high ideals and was sincere and uncompromising in his adherence to those ideals. He was a friend and counselor of many hundreds of students, whose lives were enriched by association with him. No man has had a greater influence for good on the lives of the young people of Western Michigan College over a long period of years or commanded greater respect from people of all ages. He was one of Western ' s great men. IN DEDICATION The year 1950 will witness the passing from the athletic scenes of Western Michigan College one of the most inspiring coaching careers in its history, that of The Silver Fox, Coach Herbert W. Buck Read. When Buck relinquished the reigns of the basketball fortunes of Western at the completion of the 1949 season, he had led the Broncos through 28 seasons of colorful and winning basketball. His career in coaching started at Kalamazoo Central. In 1919 he joined the staff at Western and since that date, only three times have his teams finished under the 500 per cent average mark. His teams have won a total of 353 games over this 28 year period and lost only 157 for an amazing average of 67.7 per cent. During the 20 ' s , Buck gained much recognition for his impenetrable zone defense. Toward the later part of the era, being a showman par excellence, he introduced the now very popular style of play, the fast break. The Broncos literally ran the apposition right off the floor, win- ing 17 straight games and won a right to the mythical national cham- pionship. His teams won national acclaim and such big names as Notre Dame, Michigan, Purdue, Northwestern, Manhattan, Long Island U, Loyola, De Paul, Utah and others appeared on the schedule. His teams from 1930 through 1935 went 49 games without losing a home game until the last game of the 1935 season which saw their string unbroken. To this man, who has not only brought basketball fame to Western, but also a philosophy of physical fitness and inspired others to attain high pinnacles of success, is this, the 1950 Brown and Gold Annual dedicated. — Editor r M Charles Smith, Mr. Cornelius MacDonald, Dean John C. Hoekje, Mitchell Gary, Dr. William J. Berry, Duane Formsma, Dan The Athletic Board performs the function of overseering all intercollegiate athletic activities. Its nine member panel meets periodically to discuss current problems and establish long range policies that will enable the inter-collegiate athletic program to operate most effectively. Other duties of the board incude decisions regarding schedules, awards, eligibility, and the choice of student managers. The board is composed of eight members, three of whom are students, with the remaining being from the faculty and administration. Student membership consists of the Student Council president, W Club president, and the sports editor of the Herald. The ex-officio of the board, the Dean of Administration, John C. Hoekje, is com- pleting his 30th year in that capacity. The length and conti nuity of his service pro- vide a steadying influence for the activities of the governing body. ATHLETIC BOARD 222 k a 8? Athletic Board Chairman John C. Hoekje Representing the Athletic Department is ex-officio Director Mitchell J. Gary. He provides the direct liason between the board and the athletic department itself. Mr. Cornelius MacDonald, comptroller of the institution, is one of the members by appointment and serves as secretary. The faculty is represented by Dr. William Berry of the geography and geology department and Mr. Charles Smith of the English department. They also hold appointive positions and reflect views and opinions of the campus in general. The ex-officio student membership for the year was made up of John Bright, Student Council president; Duane Forsma, W Club president, and Dan Weber, sports editor of the Herald. Chuck Mefford replaced Weber at the turn of the semester. 223 Athletic Director Mitchell Gary Mitchell Mike Gary was appointed to the important post of Director of Athletics at Western to succeed the late Judson A. Hyames in October of 1949. Prior to his entrance into naval service during the war, Mr. Gary served as head Bronco foot- ball coach for thirteen seasons. His active coaching career was climaxed in 1941 when the team gained national recognition for an unbeaten, untied record posted over a tough eight game schedule. Upon returning from service he was named to the post of Associate Athletic Director to assist Mr. Hyames with administrative work in the rapidly expanding department. The two man team planned and guided the program needed to accommodate a much greater number of men than ever had entered the field of physical education at Western previously. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Gary, the Athletic Department administers a broad program of inter-collegiate athletics, and also an extensive intramural schedule. 224 Captain Bob Carlson is a four year veteran of the Bronco football wars. His college grid career extends back to 1946 when he earned his first W as a fresh- man guard on the varsity. In each succeeding season his play has been steady and his leadership inspiring. His choice by teammates as the 1949 captain was a popu- lar one. Lardy, as he is more popularly known, graduated from Kingsford High School in the Upper Peninsula in 1942. While there he earned four letters in football, four in track, and one in basketball. He was selected on the all-conference team twice. Captain Carlson has a servi ce record that includes ten months spent in German prison camps after his capture during the St. Lo breakthrough in July, 1944. Although hampered somewhat by injuries that kept down his playing time this season, Captain Carlson has nevertheless provided the spark and spirit on the field and off that is so essential in any competitive sport. Captain Bob Carlson The activities of the football squad over an eight game season were once again directed by Head Coach John Gill, ably assisted by Line Coach Roy Wietz and End Coach Matt Patanelli. Gill, head coach since the 1942 season, graduated from Western in 1924 after win- ning thirteen letters in inter-collegiate com- petition. He returned as freshman coach in 1928 and in 1935 was elevated to the posi- tion of varsity backfield coach to assist Mike Gary. When Gary entered the service in 1942 Gill assumed the duties of the head coaching post. For the eight years under his direction Western grid teams have compiled a record of 37 wins, 22 defeats, and 1 tie for a .617 winning average. Wietz came to Western in 1942 to assist with the linemen. His experience gained from playing days as a star guard at the Uni- versity of Illinois and from 15 years as a high school coach has been invaluable in shaping tough forward walls. Patanelli, in his second year back at Wes- tern, has given Coach Gill capable assis- tance with the Flankers. He was an out- standing player in the three major sports at Michigan in the middle 30 ' s and at the Hilltop originally in 1943 and 1944 as an officer in the naval training program. At that time he also assisted with the ends.

Gratto Cicero, III.; Trainer Ed Ohio; The 1949 edition of the football Broncos broke even in an eight game schedule that included five Mid-American Conference foes. Pre-season predictions forecast a healthy record for the Broncos, but a seemingly unending string of injuries upset plans week after week to give the final result a 50-50 complexion. Passing was the forte in offense over the campaign. The Harris to Clysdale and Mesko combinations sparked many a drive and accounted for numerous touchdowns. The running attack never seemed to find itself to the extent that it could be depend- ed upon for that last bit of needed yardage. Sophomore halfback Arnie Thompson showed flashes of brilliance in his breakaway running when not hampered by injuries. A number of Seniors who had won two, three, and four letters played their last game on the Hilltop. Giant center Chuck Schoolmaster was given all-conference first team honors at his position for the second straight year. Both Schoolmaster and end George Mesko signed pro contracts during the winter with the Baltimore Colts. Statistically speaking, Harris was third in the nation in number of touchdown passes with 1 8. He had a 34 per cent completion average. Mesko and Clysdale tied for fourth in the nation in touchdown passes received with 7 apiece. White had a good 37 yard punting average. In the conference Harris attempted 98 passes and completed 38 for a 39 per cent average. He ranked second. Clysdale topped the conference in pass receiving and number of TD passes caught. At the close of the season the squad elected ends Pat Clysdale and Bill Zabonick to co-captain the 1950 team. 227 DeVan, star Iowa halfback, isn ' t going far on this one around endl and Mesko close in on Ohio ' s Stumpf, starting on return behind good downfteld blocking. WESTERN 20 — IOWA TEACHERS 6 Western ' s Broncos initiated the new season by utilizing a brilliant passing attack to down Iowa State Teachers by a 20-6 count. The victory avenged a 13-6 setback suffered at the hands of Iowa last year and provided a promising preview of things that could be expected from the Broncos in the rough schedule ahead. After an opening quarter dominated by the Panthers, a timely interception by de- fensive quarterback George Dunn put the Bronco machine in gear. Norm Harris, given excellent protection all afternoon, flipped a 25 yard aerial to end Pat Clys- dale. Dunn ' s conversion made it 7-0. Once on top the Broncos displayed good spirit and clicked repeatedly. Just before the half, center Chuck Schoolmaster intercepted an Iowa pass and bulled his way to the Panther 19. From that point, two plays later, Harris rifled one to end George Mesko. Dunn again goaled to make it 14-0 at the half. The third quarter saw Dick Snow. Whitey Hartmann, and soph Arnie Thompson alternatng to carry the ball to the Iowa 21. Agan Harris spotted Mesko in the end zone to wrap up the ball game. The attempted conversion was wide. The final stanza was all Iowa. However, the Bronco line held in the rough spots and cut off any further scoring. OHIO U 16 — WESTERN 6 A hard-blocking Bobcat eleven from Ohio University dealt Bronco aspirations in the Mid-American Conference race a severe blow with a convincing 16-6 win in the league opener. Never behind, Coach Carroll Widdoe ' s greenshirts exhibited block- ing that made the running look easy and swept to a counter the first time they had possession, the conversion made it 7-0 and the Bronco ' s task was plainly seen. The running game was stalled, but Harris to Clysdale passes provided a shining ray of hope for the home crowd. With but fifteen seconds remaining in the half, Ohio intercepted and toted to the Western 26. A long shot field goal attempt from the 31 paid off and the Bobcats had a 10-0 halftime lead. Dunn brought fans to their feet with an interception run from the 41 to the 11. A Harris to Clysdale shot in the flat followed by an elusive side line jaunt gave Western six points and new spirit. Dunn ' s kick went wide and the score was 10-6. Moments later, with Ohio in possession, McKenna skirted the end and behind ex- cellent blocking was off for a 67 yard scoring run. The point attempt was no good and Western was on the short end of a 16-6 score. 228 CINCINNATI 27 — WESTERN 6 The Broncos bumped into some of the stiff er MAC competition at Cincinnati and suf- fered a reversal against the highly rated Bearcats. Western ' s score came on a third quarter pass play covering 60 yards from Bill Flaherty to Dick Stull. The loss was the second in conference play for the Broncos and ended hopes of a high finish in the tough MAC. Cincinnati held only a 6-0 lead at the half, but broke loose in the second half as Bearcat quarterback O ' Malley unleashed three touchdown aerials. The Bronco ' s aforementioned score came after the scoreboard read 20-0. Dunn ' s placement attempt failed. The Brown and Gold ' s chances were hampered considerably by a seige of injuries to key men, necessitating a revamped lineup. WASHINGTON U 12 — WESTERN In departing from league play for a game with Washington University of St. Louis the Broncos received their third straight setback, 12-0, before a home crowd in Waldo stadium. All the scoring was confined to the second half as Washington tallied then on a line plunge and two field goals. First half play rebounded back and forth between the 30 yard markers and the only real scoring opportunity was gained by the Broncos when Les Gratton punted dead on the Bear 4. The visitors kicked and safety man Dunn returned to the 41. Harris hit Stull on the 35 and a neat break- away run put the ball on the 9. Four plays, including a field goal attempt, fell short. Washington took over in the second half and dominated play. A blocked punt on the 41 provided the opportunity, and a short series of plays brought the TD. In the final moments the Bears added a couple of field goals to record a 12-0 upset. Bronco injuries were again a factor in the play. Stull and Snow were cause for commendation for their running efforts. jlfback Dick Snow being brought to earth by inger in the Washington game. Washington University stopped for rugged Western line. no gain against WESTERN 35 — CENTRAL MICHIGAN 8 Under a flurry of touchdown passes from the rifle arm of Norm Harris to ends Pat Clysdale and George Mesko, a rejuvenated Bronco team completely outplayed a scrappy Central Michigan outfit at Mt. Pleasant, 35-8. After a shaky first period in which soph quarterback Len Johnson was trapped in his own end zone for a Chippewa safety, the Western squad opened up an aerial attack that clicked for two touchdowns before the half, one each by Clysdale and Mesko. There was no letup for the Chippewas after the intermission as Harris hit Mesko for one and Clysdale for two more to wind up a spectacular show. George Dunn clicked on all of his five conversion attempts. Central got its lone touchdown in the opening minute of the fourth period. Great line play was exhibited by Al Micatrotto and Chuck Schoolmaster as the forward wall provided excellent protection for the passer. Some fine running was turned in by Arnie Thompson and Bob White when the ground attack was needed. MIAMI 34 — WESTERN 20 After spotting Miami ' s Redskins a 27 point lead in the first half, the Western Mich- igan gridmen staged a brilliant second half rally before a Homecoming throng of 12,000 to go down fighting by a 34-20 count. The Redskin ' s ground and air com- bination of Pont and Olix lived up to advance notice as it passed and ran for large chunks of yardage to set up four touchdowns by halftime. The second half was a different chapter, however, as the home eleven outscored the v isitors three touchdowns to one. Good downfield blocking was existent in the running plays that set up scores by Harris and Thompson in the third quarter to make it 27-13. Miami applied the brakes at this point and took over for a touchdown pass that put the game out of reach. The Broncos never stopped fighting as they rebounded for 55 yards in five plays, the final being from Harris to Clysdale, to give the contest a 34-20 finish. A host of Western tacklers closing in for the kill on an attempted end run in the Miami Al Micatrotto in hot pursuit of Miami ' s John Pont. 230 WESTERN 40 — BUTLER 6 By displaying a powerhouse in both running and passing the Broncos ended their stay in the Mid-American Conference cellar by drubbing the Butler University eleven, 40-6, at Indianapolis. Western took off late in the first period when Whitey Hartman climaxed a 37 yard drive with a thrust through tackle. Dunn converted to put the Broncos ahead for good. A 15 yard end sweep just before the half by Dick Stull made it 13-6. Second half play made the game a runaway. In the third period Harris spotted Stull and Mesko in the end zone for pass scores of 25 and 39 yards. Mesko grabbed another in the fourth. Bob Morse added still another just before the final gun on a 15 yard reverse play. Stull and Mesko each tallied twice, while Micatrotto, Tuma and Schoolmaster all showed great defensive strength in the line. WESTERN 20 — WESTERN RESERVE 14 The 1949 edition of the football Broncos wound up the season with a .500 overall average and a fourth place finish in the Mid-American Conference by edging Western Reserve at Cleveland, 20-14. Victory came on three touchdown passes by Norm Harris. Reserve was fired at the start and marched 97 yards for opening blood. Successful conversion made it 7-0. George Dunn set things up for the Broncos by galloping 52 yards on a punt return to the Red Cat 18. Two plays later Harris hit Bob White for a touchdown pass. Dunn made it 7-7. After Reserve threatened early in the third quarter the Broncos put on a drive featured by a 65 yard dash off tackle by White and climaxed by a pass to Clysdale in the end zone. The exta point attempt was good. Both teams scored in the final stanza. Ted Bauer recovered a fumble on the Red Cat 27 and Harris tossed to Clysdale for the score. Dunn converted to make the final 20-14 and end the season on a high note. Mere ' s to the SeniorsI Standing: Harris, Contes, Bauer, Mesko, Dunn, Duditch, Coach John Gill.

The Colts won two, tied one, and lost one, the loss being a 7-6 heartbreaker to the Valparaiso JV ' s. Ray Louthen, Ed Rossi, and Bob Isaac assisted Coach Slaughter in handling the large number of aspirants answering the early season call to practice. A squad of over 50 men stayed out for the entire campaign and gained needed experience in practice and the playing schedule. Several men were outstanding during the season and are being counted on heav- ily to show the ability for varsity duty next year. Among them are Stan Mallec, fullback; Jack Sipperly, tackle; Chuck Higgins, quarterback; Ralph Neilson, end; Bob Chant, halfback and Jim Bryant, halfback. Dick Pins of Grand Rapids was elected honorary captain for the season. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL 234 WESTERN FROSH 39 — GRAND RAPIDS JC With a powerful attack that struck for 32 points in the first half, the Western Colts rolled over Grand Rapids Junior College, 39-0, in Waldo Stadium. The victory more than fufilled the hopes of the coaches as amazing steadiness and ability was exhibited in the opening game. Bob Scott passed to end Bill Beardsley for the first counter, and the scoring parade was in reveiw. Fullback Stan Mallec plunged 7 yards for the second score, and Chuck Higgins scooted 5 yards for the third. Bill dinger provided the fourth TD on a 45 yard solo dash, and Higgins heaved to Al Van Dyke for the fifth just before the half. In the second half the only score came on a 70 yard pass play from Higgins to Ralph Neilson. Len Parsons hit on 3 of 6 conversion attempts. All 50 men in uniform saw action. WESTERN FROSH 27 — PERCY JONES 26 By virtue of bouncing back from a deficit of 1 2 points existing during most of the game, the Bronco Frosh took their second straight victory, 27-26, from Percy Jones Hospital at Battle Creek. The army men jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter. The Colts roared back in the second stanza when Stan Mallec plunged over after setting up the score with a 55 yard run. Percy Jones added another one, but a Higgins to Boshoven TD pass made it 19-13. In the fourth quarter Mallec took a kick-off and raced 89 yards for the score. Percy Jones tallied again to make it 26-20, but the spirited Colts came right back with Bryant scoring after a sustained drive. Len Parsons ran in to boot the point and provide the margin of victory. WESTERN FROSH 13 — UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT FROSH 13 After seemingly sewing up the contest with two first half scores, the Frosh were forced to accept a tie when the U. of D. yearlings countered on pass plays of 50 and 15 yards in the final 6 minutes. Western ' s initial score came on Chuck Higgins ' pass to Bob Boshoven. Parsons converted. Stan Mallec added the other six pointer on a 2 yard line buck. VALPARISO JV 7 — WESTERN FROSH 6 The Colts did everything but score enough points against the Valpo JV ' s and came home tagged with their lone loss of the season. Western drew first blood early in the game when Bob Chant scored off tackle. The conversion attempt was unsuccessful. Valpo won the game on a second period score followed by an extra point boot. Western penetrated the 10 yard line 4 times in the second half, but couldn ' t quite cross the scoring stripe. 235 Back row: Russ Gabier, Cadillac; Bernie Stafford, Plainwell; Coach Clayton Mous. Front row: Co-captain Bill Golden, St. Joseph; Co-captain Bill Almon, Kalamazoo. The Bronco cross country squad, defending Mid-American Conference champions, emerged victor in two of five dual meets during the season. The three losses were by margins of 5 points or less. In a triangular meet the Broncos placed second. Russel Gabier ' s outstanding running paced the squad through its entire schedule. He copped first place honors in all meets but the NCAA, including victories in the Central Collegiate and Mid American Conference. WAYNE 27 — WESTERN 28 In their opening meet the Broncos were barely edged by Wayne, despite a 1-2 finish by Gabier and Alman. Tartars took the next four places to set up a scoring balance. Gabier ' s time for the 3.5 mile course was 19:40. Other Western finishers included Bernie Stafford, seventh; Bill Golden, eighth; and Spronz, tenth. WESTERN 24 — ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL 33 The Bronco barriers fared well in their second dual meet by trouncing Illinois State Normal. A sweep of the top three places was made by Gabier, Alman and Golden. Bernie Stafford finished seventh and Al Spronz twelfth. CROSS COUNTRY 236 WHEATON 26 — WESTERN 31 The Broncos traveled to Wheaton, Illinois, to engage a high ranking Wheaton College harrier squad coached by the famous Gil Dodds.

WESTERN 24 — CENTRAL MICHIGAN 31 The Bronco hill and dale men chalked up another dual meet victory by tripping Central Michigan, 24-31, on the Western course. Russ Gabier, number one Bronco runner, broke his own course record set in the previous meet with a clocking of 21:38.7 for the four miles. Behind Gabier came Alman, second; Golden, fifth; Stafford, seventh; and Cortwright, ninth. LOYOLA 26 WESTERN 30 Loyola University played host to the visiting Broncos in Chicago and emerged winner in a dual meet, 26-30. Russ Gabier continued his record smashing habits by breaking the local three mile course standard with his first place finish. Golden, Alman and Stafford finished fifth, sixth and seventh respectively. sather time trial. MID AMERICAN CONFERENCE Defending champion Western Michigan was bested only by a strong Miami team in the Mid-American Conference cross country run held at Oxford, Ohio. The Redskins tallied 35 points, while the title holders of last year were charged with 51. Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, and Western Reserve followed along in order. Some consolation was gained when Russ Gabier took individual honors with a time of 21 :26.3 min- utes for the four mile course, thereby breaking the existing record by two seconds. Alman finished third behind Miami ' s Stavoli. Other place winners were Stafford, Golden, and Cortwright. Back row: James Cobb, Plainwell; Donald Grimm, Auburn; Coach Clayton Maus. Front row: Robert Husband, Kalamazoo; Al Austin, Kalamazoo; Stewart Mollen, Detroit. The Western Michigan Freshman cross country team participated in two scheduled meets during the season and finished with a record of a win in a dual and second place in a triangular affair. Coach Clayton Maus is expecting to receive some strong aid for his varsity team next season from among the men who trained and participated in the Frosh schedule. WESTERN FROSH 27 — WAYNE FROSH 28 Western ' s yearling thinclads edged out Wayne University ' s Frosh, 27-28, in a dual meet over a two and one-half mile course at Detroit. Wayne ' s John Pathe broke the tape with a time of 13:27. Western ' s finishers were Al Austin, third; Don Grimm, fourth; Stu Mallon, fifth; Bob Husband, seventh; and Jack Page, eighth. MIAMI FROSH 15 — WESTERN FROSH 48 — BUTLER FROSH 73 The Freshman teams of Miami and Butler were entertained in a triangular meet as part of the Homecoming festivities. Miami won the run with a perfect score of 15 points, while Western had 48 and Butler 73. Finishing for the Bronco yearlings were Mallon, sixth; Austin, seventh; Grimm, eighth; Cobb, thirteenth; and Husband, fourteenth. FRESHMAN CROSS COUNTRY 238 239 Captain Swift Noble of Kalamazoo, was chosen by his teammates to lead the 1949-50 edition of the basketball Bron- cos. Combining size with all around court ability, Noble provided the steadying in- fluence for a team composed almost en- tirely of sophomores. Swift is a graduate of Kalamazoo Central High School and starred there on the 1944 team that went to the state Class A finals. Noble enrolled at Western as a freshman and played basketball for a short time before entering the army. Upon discharge he come back to the Hill in February of 1948 to help out in the closing weeks of that schedule. Last season marked his first full campaign, and showed playing and leadership qualities that led to his cap- taincy this season. Captain Swift Noble Coach Bill Perigo Coach Bill Perigo returned this year to the scene of his collegiate athletic career to lead the Broncos to a successful season. A veteran of 16 years in the high school coaching ranks, Coach Perigo molded a smooth unit that amaz- ed the dopesters week after week from but a few veterans and a number of sophs. For 14 years Perigo was head basketball coach at Benton Harbor High School. While there he compiled an envious record that included one state champion, one runner-up, and eight re- gional champions. As a collegiate athlete on the Hilltop, Perigo is recognized as one of the all time Bronco greats. His play at center from 1932 through 1934 sparked Western teams to outstanding records during those years. Perigo was personnally chosen for his present position by retiring coach Buck Read, who felt the utmost confidence in the selection of his one time star pupil. His faith has since been borne out by Coach Perigo ' s highly gratifying first season on the Hilltop. 240 Back row: Trainer Ed Gabel; Ray Postema, Muskegon; Don Groggel, Kalamazoo; Jim Betchek, Berrien Springs, Basil Mason, Richland; Manager Jack Clysdale, Detroit. Front row: Bob Adams, South Bend, Ind.; Elwyn Heyn, Bridgman; Captain Swift Noble, Kalamazoo; Jack Sabadin, Benton Harbor; Joe Shaw, Leslie; Coach Bill Perigo. The 1949-50 Brown and Gold basketball team was one which created both an excellent record, with all factors considered, and a lively interest for the cage fans. Coach Bill Perigo, in his first year at the Bronco helm, was faced with a job of rebuilding that was accomplished through the welding of four sophomores and a senior into a smooth running ball club. A lack of experience hampered efforts in the early weeks of the season, but as time went on it became more and more ap- parent that the team was improving by leaps and bounds. Sophomores Bob Adams and Joe Shaw were the big guns throughout the campaign. Both hit consistently for sizable game totals. Adams ' biggest nights were against Ball State, when he tallied 32, and against Butler, when he shattered the Bronco record with 33. Prospects for next year are lucrative. With four talented sophomore regulars re- turning for two more seasons of play the possibilities seem unlimited. Some valu- able help from a good freshman squad adds to the picture. BASKETBALL 241 NORTHWESTERN 54 — WESTERN 43 Coach Bill Perigo ' s debut as basketball mentor was spoiled by a veteran North- western aggregation that avenged a defeat of the previous year by handing the Bronco ' s a 54-43 setback. Western showed a lack of experience, but flashes of brilliance gave good promise of things that might be expected later in the season. The Wildcats took the lead from the beginning and were never headed, although the Broncos rallied late in the first half to make it 16-15. Sophomore Bob Adams lived up to advance notices by dumping in 18 points to take scoring honors for both teams. WESTERN 52 — HOPE 48 The Broncos were surprised in their second start of the season by a tough Hope College five that was beaten only in the last half minute of play. The small con- fines of the Holland court proved a serious handicap. That, plus the fact that the Hilltoppers were having tough luck in their scoring attempts, contributed to close play. With but a minute of game time remaining, Holland tied the count at 48-48. Thirty seconds later Western gained control of the ball and a looping shot by Don Groggel put the Broncos ahead, 50-48. Two foul shots by Pat Clysdale in the closing seconds put the game on ice. Joe Shaw and Pat Clysdale shared Bronco scoring honors with 12 points apiece. CENTRAL MICHIGAN 63 — WESTERN 45 The Broncos traveled to Mt. Pleasant for their third straight road game and were bounced back on the short end of a 63-45 score. Central ' s high spirited Chippewa ' s ran wild in the early stages of the game and at one time ran up 20 straight points while Western was held scoreless. The small court handicap again proved too great an obstacle to surmount with the team ' s limited experience. In the last half Western rallied sufficiently to produce some steady scoring. Joe Shaw led Western with 14 points, followed by Swift Noble with 10. Joe Shaw hooks one in against Manchester WESTERN 67 — MANCHESTER 53 In their home basketball debut of the season the Broncos were triumphant over a good Manchester quintet by a 67-53 score. It was the final tuneup before entering tough Mid- American Conference competition. The visitors took the lead at the outset and held a 1 4 to 10 advantage after ten minutes of play. At this point Postema and Shaw started hitting to give Western a 35-23 halftime margin. Postema scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half. Manchester never really threatened again as the Broncos maintained close control of the game. Dick Piper of Man- chester was high man for the evening with 20 counters. Joe Shaw netted 1 8 points to pace the Western attack. WESTERN 76 — WESTERN RESERVE 44 The Broncos opened their conference play against Western Reserve of Cleveland with a resounding win. The final out- come was never in doubt as the Western cagers put on a spectacular display of shooting accuracy with 32 field goals in 67 attempts. Senior center Swift Noble was the big gun with 22 points added to a good rebounding performance. The sophomore stars, Adams and Shaw, followed with 16 apiece. BASKETBALL 242 WESTERN 75 — BALL STATE 69 Sophomore Bob Adams was the individual star as the Broncos outfought a fast breaking Ball State line at Muncie, Indiana. Adams tied the all-time individual scoring record set by Harold Gensichen in 1942 with 14 baskets and 4 free throws for a 32 point total. The Hilltoppers were tired after a long bus ride from the Western Reserve game the previous night. As a result, Ball State raced away to a 37-31 halftime lead. Starters Shaw and Heyn were ejected on fouls in the second half to make the task doubly difficult. Shciw, Noble, and Groggel followed Adams in scoring with 10, 9, and 8 points respectively. VALPARISO 66 WESTERN 64 The vastly improved Broncos fought Valpo ' s experienced Crusaders to a standstill before losing in the last four minutes of play at the Hoosier institution. Competition was keen throughout with the Broncos holding a 31-29 halftime lead. An upset victory seemed in the making when Western held a 64-59 margin with 4 minutes to go. However, the Crusaders counted 1 basket and 5 free throws in the remaining time to win. The scoring twins, Bob Adams and Joe Shaw, led Western scorers with 16 apiece. WESTERN 93 — NORTH CENTRAL 57 A red-hot Bronco quintet rolled over North Central, Illinois College, 93 to 57, and set a new Hilltop single game scoring record in the process. A 19 point splurge by each of the starting sophs, Heyn, Shaw, and Adams, was the big factor in the onslaught. Victory for the Broncos was the fifth in eight pre- holiday starts. WESTERN 94 — MIAMI 66 The high spirited Broncos continued doing things in a big way by crushing Miami in a MAC contest, 94 to 66, and snapping the new scoring record set in the pre- vious game. The three sophs, Adams, Heyn, and Shaw, confirmed Coach Perigo ' s faith in his starting lineup by sinking 22, 20, and 18 points respectively. Noble followed with 15. An enthusiastic home crowd roared approval throughout the evening. Backboard control and a lightning fast break kept the Redskins off balance and contributed greatly to the final outcome. Shaw registers two points and three bewildered faces in the Miami fracas. Western won 94-66. Look out, refl 243 WESTERN 73 — HOPE 43 After recovering from a lifeless first half, Western went wild after the intermission to submerge Hope College ' s MIAA quintet in a return engagement. The Broncos led only 26-23 at the end of the period but roared back for 47 points in the remainder of the game to put it out of reach. Bob Adams continued his sensational scoring with 22 markers. Postema scores on a fast break against Hope. WESTERN 81 — OHIO U. 56 The Broncos traveled to Athens, Ohio, to rack up their third straight conference victory, 81-56. The win was impressive and boosted follower ' s hopes for a success- ful season still another notch. A fast break that clicked smoothly provided a healthy 42-26 halftime lead. The sophs were again red hot as Shaw netted 22 and Adams 21. CINCINNATI 66 — WESTERN 45 In a battle between the two conference leaders, the Cinci Bearcats cooled the Broncos and took a 66-45 verdict for a half game loop lead. The team did a great job in holding Cinci ' s individual scoring leaders to a total of only 22 points, but deliberate play and balanced scoring spelled the difference. Forward Joe Shaw was high man for the evening with 13 points. Bob Adams had 11. VALPARAISO 78 — WESTERN 59 A red-hot Valpo five came to Kalamazoo and displayed amazing shooting ability to earn a 78-59 decision over a game and fighting Bronco team. It was their second win of the season over Western. The visitors had a big advantage in size and got more than their share of rebounds. Valpo ' s highly touted Bob Metcalf had 23 for the visitors, followed by teammate Whitey Schroer with 22. Western ' s Joe Shaw had 18. 244 Betchek lays one up. Push shot by Adams good for two points against Central Michigan. WESTERN 73 — CENTRAL MICHIGAN 53 A starting lineup composed of four sophs and a senior worked well together and hung a 73-53 defeat on the visiting Chippewas. Central had won by 20 points over the Broncos in an earlier game on its own small floor. Well balanced scoring was evident as Adams hit for 19, Heyn for 16, Shaw for 13, and Noble and Sadadin each for 1 2. Sabadin was making his first start of the season. CINCINNATI 74 — WESTERN 51 After trailing at halftime, Cincinnatti ' s nationally ranked cagers handed Western its second conference loss. The Broncos spotted Cinci a 9-0 lead at the start but recovered brilliantly to lead, 32-30, at the intermission. The loss of Joe Shaw on fouls shortly after the start of the second half was a deciding factor in the outcome of the contest. Al Rubenstein of the Bearcats had 20 points to barely edge Bob Adams, who netted 19, for the evening ' s high point honors. MIAMI 61 WESTERN 54 The Broncos journeyed to Oxford, Ohio, and were surprised by an aroused Redskin quintet 61-54. The loss of Elwyn Heyn in the first half from an ankle sprain, plus an off night in shooting, made the game a difficult one. Miami pulled away to a 35-19 halftime lead, but was tied at 47, 49, and 51 all late in the game. A final Redskin spurt produced the margin. Jack Sabadin sank 15 and Swift Noble 14 points for the Bronco cause. BUTLER 68 — WESTERN 49 Butler ' s Bulldogs jumped off to a 7-0 lead and could not be overtaken as the Broncos dropped their third straight encounter at the Butler fieldhouse. Elwyn Heyn was confined to the bench with a sprained ankle suffered in the previous night ' s game. Butler worked hard for a 32-16 margin at the time out. The Broncos fought back brilliantly in the final minutes but couldn ' t match Butler ' s deliberate play. Bob Adams was Western ' s high man with 12 points. 245 LOYOLA 85 — WESTERN 71 A fighting Bronco squad bowed to the Loyola Ramblers at Chicago in a tough one, 85-71. Western led, 43-41, at the half, but was outscored during the re- mainder of the contest. Loyola poured in 9 points in the last two minutes to ice the verdict. Captain Swift Noble put on the finest effort of his career in netting 24 points. Loyola center Ed Dawson had 26. Joe Shaw tallied well with 16. Adams makes it 33 — a new record. WESTERN 90 — WESTERN RESERVE 69 The high scoring Broncos hit 90 points for the third time during the season at the Men ' s Gym. The Cleveland Red Cats couldn ' t counter Western ' s rebounding and balanced scoring. Coach Bill Perigo cleared the bench of reserves in the loosely played contest. The win kept alive Western ' s chances of a second place conference finish. Western ' s high men were Noble with 16, Sabadin with 15, Adams with 13, Shaw with 12, Betchek with 11, and Heyn with 8 points. WESTERN 70 — BUTLER 57 The Broncos and Bob Adams never looked better as they combined to upset a highly favored Butler team before an enthusiastic home crowd. The scoreboard showed a 31-31 halftime count, but the last 20 minutes was all Western as they maintained a firewagon pace and superb ball control. Bob Adams, South Bend star, set a new WMC individual game scoring record with 33 points, 25 coming in the second half. His brilliant performance was watched by Hal Gensichen, former Hilltop basketball great and previous holder of the in- dividual record of 32 points. Adams drives under to score. Noble fights for a rebound against Oi LOYOLA 61 — WESTERN 57 The rampaging Broncos erased a 10 point half time deficit and pulled ahead 57-56 with a minute to go against Loyola ' s crack team. At this point the visitor ' s Ralph Klaerich took the game into hand for Loyola with two quick breakaway buckets. Play throughout was close and tempers reached the boiling point on several occasions. Shaw, Adams, Sabadin, and Noble had 15, 14, 13, and 12 points re- spectively for the Bronco cause. 246 WESTERN 79 — OHIO 52 In the finale of a successful first season for Coach Bill Perigo the sophomore laden Broncos set Ohio U. down 79-52. Seniors Swift Noble, Ray Postema, Don Groggel, Basil Mason, and Benny Olson played their final game in a Brown and Gold uniform. The Broncos exploded for 49 points in the second half to leave no doubt as to the outcome. Captain Swift Noble closed out his career with 20 points, followed by Bob Adams with 16 and Joe Shaw with 14.

The 1949-1950 Freshman edition of the basketball Broncos piled up a record of 6 wins in 8 games, and gave notice of a good crop of new material that could advance to varsity status next season. Coach Tom Slaughter built his offense around three men, Bill Slaughter, Pete Ellis, and Roy Healy. This trio participated in a close race for season scoring honors. Slaughter garnered 86, Ellis 75, and Healy 74. Twelve men were awarded frosh numerals for their competition during the schedule. Included were Bob Bakeman, Bud Brotebeck, Pete Ellis, Allen Fritche, Roy Healy, Jim Hipsher, Al Horn, Bob Scott, Bill Slaughter, Bob Temple, Dick Vande Vorde, Gene Wood, and Ed Yoder. Healey was elected honorary captain at the close of the season. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL 248 WESTERN FROSH 73 — HOPE FROSH 51 In their initial encounter of the season, the yearling Broncos rallied to an easy 73-51 victory at Holland. The outcome was never in doubt as Slaughter and Brotebeck led scoring with 17 and 14 points respectively. WESTERN FROSH 59 — CENTRAL MICHIGAN FROSH 53 In a close game at Mt. Pleasant the Bronco Frosh scored a well earned victory for their second straight. Slaughter was again top man with 14 points, followed by Healy with 1 2. VALPARAISO FROSH 71 — WESTERN FROSH 50 After a vacation layoff and only two days ' practice before the game, Coach Slaughter ' s crew dropped a 71-50 contest at Valparaiso. Wood led Western with 1 1 points. WESTERN FROSH 71 — HOPE FROSH 49 In a return engagement with the Dutch, Western ' s yearling Broncos racked up another easy one for their third win in four starts. Ellis and Brotebeck led the offensive with 15 and 14 points. WESTERN FROSH 62 — VALPARAISO 61 In the outstanding game of the Frosh schedule the first year men gained revenge for their defeat earlier in the season by Valpo ' s Crusaders. A bucket by Roy Healy in the closing seconds provided the margin of victory. Healy led scoring with 15 markers. Wood had 14. WESTERN FROSH 70 — CENTRAL MICHIGAN FROSH 59 The young Broncos were sharp on the home floor as they downed Central ' s freshmen, 70-59. Pete Ellis had 17 and Gene Wood 15 points for the winners. In two late season games with Kalamazoo City League teams the Frosh broke even. They trounced Miller-Davis by a healthy 83-44 count, in a free scoring affair. Bill Slaughter led the way with 18 points. Ray Healy was close behind with 17. The Shepherd Fuel Five, City League Champs, were too much for the green clad crew and took a 58-54 decision. The Fuelers were composed of former college stars from the area. Healy of Western contributed 20 points in the losing cause. 249 Pat Mullin, Carol Keddie, Carolyn Mori Francis Hodapp, Phyllis Cutler. Two groups which played an important part on the sidelines of Western ' s athletic events were the cheerleaders and the drum majors. At each home football and basketball contest the cheerleaders led the student body in cheering of the boys on the field and court.

Since his appointment to the head baseball job in 1936 he has con- tinuously developed the baseball picture at Western until it has become one of a perennial power that more than holds its own in the stiffer competition. For the past two seasons the Broncos have been invited to represent this area in the district NCAA playoffs, an honor accorded to no other college in the district. The caliber of competition on the regular schedule is extremely high, so that attaining the playoff invitation is true recognition of real ability. Mr. Maher, a former Bronco diamond great in his college days, has had no small job in shaping this season ' s baseball crew. His task has probably been greater this year than ever before, since the problem of finding replacements to fill the gaps left by graduation has been terrific. Coach Matt Patanelli was added to the staff for the 1949 season and turned in a commendable role in assisting Coach Maher since. As an undergraduate Mr. Patan- elli was a star first sacker for the Michigan Wolverines.

The 1949 Brown and Gold baseball team piled up one of the most impressive seasons ever registered on the Hilltop. With 18 wins and but 6 losses over the best competition in the Mid-West, the Broncos were a sure choice to repeat as a repre- sentative in the NCCA district playoff for the second straight season. In addition to winning the Mid-American Conference title with an 8-2 record, the Broncos claimed the mythical state intercollegiate once again as a result of three victories and a tie against Michigan and Michigan State. They might well have made application for the Big 10 title since they were unbeaten in 5 games with Iowa, Michigan, and Indiana, co-champs of the Western Conference. The pitching exceeded fondest pre-season predictions with sophomore Jerry Hogan leading on a record of 6-1, including a no-hitter against Western Reserve and a one-hit achievement at the expense of Miami. Gordie Bowdell came back after some serious arm trouble to pitch a one hitter over Michigan State. Shortstop Ted Plaza led the Bronco hitters with a respectable .344 average. 1949 BASEBALL 253 Big Don takes five after a home run blast in the Butle Dick Groggel applying the ball at third in the Indianc NCAA playoff game. In their opening game of the season against Iowa of the Big 10, the Broncos were forced to rally with 3 runs in the last of the ninth to beat the Hawkeyes 5-4. On the following day the same teams played a repeat engagement and the Broncos took it, 3- 1 . Western got started on its conference schedule at Cincinnati by defeating the Bearcats in a double-header, 13-6 and 4-0. Moving over to Indiana confines. Coach Maher ' s charges took their fifth and sixth straight, 7-1 1 and 6-4. Dick Groggel starred in the latter contest by hitting a homer, double, and single. At Miami the Brown and Gold was set down in a close one 2-1, but roared back to take the second game of the series, 9-0, on the strength of Jerry Hogan ' s one-hitter. Back at home again the team engaged Michigan State in a contest decided in the 15th inning when Ted Plaza drove in the winning run with a triple to give the Broncos a 7-6 decision. At Ann Arbor the Broncos downed U. of M. 6-4 in a wild game featured by the Wolverines ' 2 hits and 17 walks. Two victories over Ohio U., 3-0 and 3-2, brought wins number ten and eleven. Gene Schlukebir and Jerry Hogan were the victorious hurlers. Notre Dame fractured the Bronco victory skein with a 3-2 win in Kalamazoo. The winning run was scored by Coach Maher ' s son, Irish catcher. Butler and Western split in a two-game series at Kalamazoo. The Broncos took the first, 9-8, in a loosely played contest, and dropped the second, 7-5. Don Boven smashed out a homer and a triple in the initial encounter. The Michigan Wolverines came to the Celery City seeking revenge for an early season reversal at the hands of the Broncos, but were forced to accept a 3-3 tie, since the game was called at the end of 1 2 innings because of darkness. Schlukebir and Hogan divided mound chores. 1949 BASEBALL 254 Big Bruce Sellers started his first contest of the year and came through with a 2 - hit, 1-0 performance against Chicago. Coach Maher called on Red Bowdell for mound duty against Western Reserve. Red, after having been out for some time because of a serious arm injury, responded by allowing only 4 hits for a 6-1 win. Jerry Hogan entered the Bronco Hall of Fame by virtue of his no hit, no run per- formance against Western Reserve. It was the 15th win in 18 starts for the Brown and Gold and clinched the Mid-American Conference Championship. Hogan struck out 1 1 and walked 3. At Madison, Wisconsin, the Broncos suffered a relapse as they ran into a deluge of base hits from the bats of the Wisconsin Badgers and were submerged by the astronomical score of 27-7. In a nightcap, the Broncos gained some revenge by earning an 11-8 verdict. The totals for the twin bill showed that there were 53 runs scored, 70 hits made, 26 bases on ball issued, and 43 runners left on base. Notre Dame came from behind to pin the first loss of the year on sophomore pitcher Jerry Hogan, 7-4, Hogan had won 6 straight previously. At Michigan State, Starter Red Bowdell pitched beautiful ball to annex a 1 hit, 5-0 win over the Spartans. Victory was the sixth in a row in the series with State. Having accepted the bid of the District 4 NCAA committee to participate in a playoff, the Broncos drew Indiana as a first round opponent. The game, played in Kalamazoo, again showed Western ' s superiority over Big Ten teams. The Broncos bunched 6 runs in a big second inning rally featuring Bob Pollard ' s 3 run homer. Red Bowdell started on the mound, but gave way to Jerry Hogan in the third. First round district play a lso involved Notre Dame and Purdue. In a tight 1-0 contest the Irish emerged victors. This brought together Notre Dame and Western for the third time in the season. The long standing jinx was maintained over the Broncos as they lost, 9-1.

With such stars as Carl Coss, Don Boven, Ted Plaza, Bob Pollard, Gorden Bowdell, and Dick Groggel graduated from school, the task of rebuilding an almost entirely new team was no small one for Coach Charlie Maher and assistant Matt Patanelli. Much effort was put forth to utilize the veterans left from last year and discover whether or not the aspiring sophomores had the caliber of talent necessary for top notch college baseball. Three holes in the infield had to be plugged. Walt Southworth, understudy to Jim Coleman at second last year, was moved over and tried with some success at that position. Scotty Wilson, who formerly backed up Ted Plaza at short, made a strong bid for that berth. Second base appeared well set with veteran Jim Coleman back after his second letter. Jack Van Dongen had the inside track on the first base job by virtue of his impressive hitting. Although a bit smaller than the average for a first sacker, he more than makes up for it with his all around ability. The catching position caused no worry with veteran Dick Bruny returning. He was backed up by Walt Piggot and Bill Flaherty. Other strong infield candidates included Ed Petrongelli, at third, Jack Dobbs and Paul Abraham at second, and Al Cater and Jack Evans at first. 1950 BASEBALL 256 Hooding the outfield candidates was Don Groggel, who was being counted on for the cleanup batter spot. Ted Bauer appeared destined for the center field job. Len Johnston was being given serious consideration for the left field berth along with Lou Cramer. The power hitting of George Kostelac and Stan Mallec made them definite possibilities for the outfield. The 1950 team was to open up by entertaining Wisconsin in a double header before embarking on a six game spring trip. Included in the sizable 27 game schedule were ten games with Western Conference foes, ten with other conference members, and two with troublesome Notre Dame. 1950 SCHEDULE Apri 8 Apri 10 Apri 11 Apri 12 Apri 13 Apri 14 Apri 15 Apri 22 Apri 26 Apri 28 Apri 29 May 2 May 5 May 6 May 8 May 9 May 12 May 13 May 16 May 19 May 20 May 23 May 27 May 29 May 30 June 3 -Wisconsin at Kalamazoo (2 games) - Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio - Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio - Cedarville College at Cedarville, Ohio -Cedarv ille College at Cedarville, Ohio - Ohio University at Athens, Ohio - Ohio University at Athens, Ohio - Notre Dame at Kalamazoo -Michigan State at East Lansing - Miami at Kalamazoo - Miami at Kalamazoo Michigan at Ann Arbor Cincinnati at Kalamazoo Cincinnati at Kalamazoo Ball State at Kalamazoo Ball State at Kalamazoo Butler at Indianapolis, Ind.

A number of the men on the squad showed abilities that will make them definite candidates for berths on this year ' s varsity. The Bronco colts opened the season with a 6-3 win over Grand Rapids Junior College and followed it up with an impressive 15-2 onslaught against Flint Junior College. Coach Tom Slaughter used 24 players in an effort to get a good look at the material and at the same time keep the score down. Ed Petrongelli clouted his second homer in as many days to pace the distance hitters. The frosh notched their third straight victory against Hope College, 4-3, when they squeezed a run across in the ninth to break a 3-3 tie. Hank Jedynak doubled, moved up on an error, and scored on an infield out. The victory trail remained well oiled for the yearlings as they completely subdued the Central Michigan College frosh, 14-1. The game was turned into a rout in the top of the seventh when eight runs were scored. In a return engagement with the Hope College nine the potential Broncos lost their only start of the season. The Hollanders thus gained revenge for the 4-3 setback they suffered earlier in the season. Flint J. C. furnished the opposition for a return to the victory trail by the freshmen. Behind, 8-3, at the beginning of the eighth, the young Broncos rallied in the re- maining frames to put the game on ice. Kostelac and Baldwin each had three hits, one of Kostelac ' s being a homer. The frosh baseballers racked up win number seven over Central Michigan ' s year- lings, 8-3. A tight battle for six innings created a 3-3 tie until the seventh when hitting was bunched to produce a score. Bill Flaherty homered in the eighth, and Jedynak, Kostelac, and Petrongelli got hits to add three more tallies. The season ' s finale was played against Michigan Employees and won 9-3. The independent team v as a member of the National Division city league. The frosh garnered 1 4 hits to win handily. FRESHMAN BASEBALL 259 The first pitch of the 1950 baseball season; Bruce Sellers pitching to the Wisconsin leadoff batter in the opening game at Hyames Field on April 8th. Western ' s 1950 season opened in football weather, when the Broncos dropped a 7-5 decision to the University of Wisconsin at Hyames Field. Bruce Sellers pitched the first five innings, while Gene Schlukebir came in to pitch the last four frames. Ted Bauer ' s three-run double in the first inning gave Western a 3-2 lead, but Wisconsin came back to win on a 3-run rally in the fifth and single runs in the eighth and ninth innings. Len Johnston collected three hits, while Jim Coleman and Dick Bruny each had two in the season opener. 1950 BASEBALL 260 spring sports 261 ■w- 9 Back row: Mgr.

Western ' s 1949 outdoor track team boasted wins over Central Michigan and Loyola in dual meets, and victory in a triangular affair with Butler and Cincinnati. Defeat was suffered at the hands of a strong Marquette University squad. The Brown and gold fashioned a surprise at Waldo stadium on May 14, by winning the 33rd annual State Intercollegiate track and field title by a half-point margin over favored Wayne University. In the Mid-American Conference the thinclads battled Miami all the way to the last event before dropping behind for a second place finish. At the Kansas Relay Carnival the medley relay team took a third place. Harold Humble and Frank Gilman took fifth place in their respective specialties, the 440 yard dash and broad jump, at the Central Collegiate Conference meet in Milwaukee. 1949 TRACK 262 The regular outdoor cinder season opened with the Bronco thinclads rolling over the Michigan Central track and field men 87-54. Four men, Frank Gilman, in the discus and broad jump; George Le Brasseur in the shot and javelin; Earl Borr in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and Russell Gabier in the mile and 2 mile run turned in double wins.

Western had two double winners; Le Brasseur in the javelin throw and shot put, and Gabier in the mile and two mile. Another first was taken by Hal Humble in the 440 yard dash. The newly crowned State Intercollegiate champs again flashed their power by whipping Loyola 81 ' A -50%. Russ Gabier established a new school record as he traversed the two mile distance in 9:41.5. Western took nine firsts and supported with plenty of balance. Bronco winners were: Bill Golden, mile; Russ Gabier, two mile; Ed Sedorchuk, 880; Duane Formsma, both hurdle events; Swift Noble, discus; Basil Mason, javelin; and Frank Gilman, broad jump. Bill Dudas and Al Howard tied for top honors in the pole vault. Miami University ' s Redskins scored in 12 of 14 events to sew up the Mid-American Conference championship with 50% points. Western followed close behind with 44%. Ohio University, Cincinnati, Western Reserve and Butler finished in order. The meet was run in Waldo Stadium and numerous conference records were shatter- ed during the warm afternoon. Russ Gabier came through with a 4:27 clocking in the mile to establish a new mark in that event. Frank Gilman soared to a first place in the broad jump and Duane Formsma tied for first in the high jump. Hal Humble ran a terrific anchor lap in the mile relay but failed by inches of overtaking his man at the tape. 264 Western opened its indoor track season in the Windy City by edging the University of Chicago squad 58 Vi -55%.

The team composed of Morris, Sedorchuk, Lewis and Golden finished fifth. 1950 INDOOR TRACK 265 Distance star Bill Alman followed closely by teammate Dale Artz in the two mile indoor run against Wayne. Alman won the event. A powerful Marquette team won a dual affair from the Broncos in Milwaukee, 78-27. In all of the events Marquette had just enough extra push to take honors with a number of the events ending in blanket finishes. Formsma cleared the cross bar in the high jump with a good 6 foot 5 g inch leap, the best of his career. His competitor immediately came back with a 6 foot 35 g inch effort to take it. Four records fell during the course of the meet. Western runners forced to place second were: Bryant in the shot put; Morris, 440; Formsma, high jump and high hurdles; Caldwell, low hurdles and Epskamp in the two mile run.

Coach Clayton Maus with sprinter and Co-captain Earl Borr. 1950 INDOOR TRACK 266 The Bronco thinclads initiated the new outdoor season at the Kansas relays on April 22. Many top stars of the nation participated in this meet at Lawrence, Kansas. Three days later the Mausmen traveled to Chicago and faced Loyola in a dual encounter. Des Moines, Iowa, was the next stop for the roving Broncos. There they met more track notables entered in the Drake Relays. On May 2, Western played host to Central Michigan in a dual meet. The Chip- pewas were out to avenge the defeat suffered at the hands of the Broncos last year. The first conference competition took place at a triangular meet at Waldo Stadium between the Broncos, Butler, and Cincinnati. Then a week later, on May 13, Western met Marquette in a dual meet on the home oval. As a prelude to the Mid-American meet at Oxford, Ohio, on May 27, the Broncos engaged the conference champs of last year at Miami. The Redskins promised to give a strong battle. On June 3, Western held the State Intercollegiate meet in Waldo Stadium and prepared to defend the title it won last year. Coach Maus ' team finished the season with competition in the Central Collegiate and a few entries in the N.C.A.A. meet. A severe blow was dealt the team when it was learned that Russell Gabier, distance star, would be lost for the season due to a foot injury. His absence cast a heavy load on Bill Alman and Bill Golden to garner needed points in the mile and two mile.

The linksmen emerged with a tie and a defeat in another triangular match against Detroit and Toledo. Wayne went down, 10% -7%, in a dual match. With regulars Dick Kelley and Dick Hanna on the sick list, Coach Don Scott had to reshuffle his lineup. As a result Valparaiso was successful in staging an upset, 10% -7%. Although the Broncos dropped another decision to Toledo ll%-6%, Jim Beadle was the individual star for the afternoon with a 74 and a hole in one to lead both teams. The Linksmen copped two more matches from Loyola, 22% -4%, and 11-7. Then followed another victory over Wayne. The season ended on a high note as the Western men took the measure of Toledo, 15-3, after dropping two previous contests to them.

Two dual meets ended in victory for the Broncos, while eight were recorded on the other side of the ledger. The squad finished fourth in the Mid-American Conference meet and fifth in the Central Collegiate meet. The Broncos embarked upon a four match southern journey that included contests with some of the perennial net powers in that section of the country. Against Vanderbilt the Westernites were blanked, 9-0, as the lack of adequate outdoor practice was woefully apparent. With Southwestern at Memphis a close match resulted, but the Southerners managed to eke out a narrow 5-4 margin. The score at Alabama was 6-3 and the Broncos were still in quest of their first victory. Against the University of Mississippi the netmen wound up their vacation jaunt with a decisive 8-1 win. The Broncos found the surroundings back home quite enjoyable as they humbled the Wayne Tarters, 11-1. A conference foe, the Cincinnati Bearcats, took a close one by a 5-4 count on the local courts. The match was decided in the final doubles event. 1949 TENNIS 272 Against the Irish of Notre Dame at South Bend one of the closest matches in Bronco record books resulted. The Irish were down 4-2 at the end of the singles competition and the Broncos needed but a single victory in the doubles to clinch the match. Each of these three doubles matches went the three set limit with Western being nosed out 7-5 in every one of the third sets. Michigan State ' s strong squad came to Kalamazoo and walked away on the long end of an 8-1 score. Against Northwestern of the Big Ten the Broncos suffered a shutout, 8-0. A return engagement with Michigan State found the Kalamazooans jolted again, 8-1 . In the Mid-American Conference championship meet held on the Davis Street courts the Bearcats of Cincinnati walked off with team and individual honors as expected. Jim Jankowski won his first round singles match to give Western a fourth place finish. Kalamazoo College far outdistanced the field in the Central Collegiate meet held also on Western ' s courts. Constant and Jankowski won their first round doubles match.

The 1950 tennis season brought a new coach to the Hilltop in the person of Ray Hap Sorensen, who has behind him a brilliant record as a playing star and successful coach. Coach Sorensen played on some of the greatest teams in Bronco history from 1930 through 1932, and paced those squads to numerous conference and tournament titles. In his first and second years on the squad Sorensen did not lose a match. His teammates elected him captain in his senior year. Mr. Sorensen ' s coaching record has been compiled at Elkhart, Indiana high school during the past fourteen years, where he produced powerhouse net squads that directed recognition. For his initial year as a Bronco coach, Sorensen drew several veterans from last year ' s squad and a tough schedule. Three letter winners from the ' 49 squad, Co-Captains Jim Jankowski and Don Constant, and Bill Sagin, were counted on to handle the top spots. For the southern trip the above three were named plus Norm Deiters, John Bailey, Charles Walker, and Yale Brandt. 1950 TENNIS 274 1950 SCHEDULE April 1 1 — Vanderbilt at Nashville April 13 — Alabama at Tuscaloosa April 14 — Mississippi at University, Miss.

Touch football in the fall brought out a large number of teams. The season was climaxed by a playoff between the winner in each of two established leagues. In this contest the Arabs edged Allan Hall of Vandercook, 7 to 6, on a snow covered field. Max Burt of Allan Hall intercepted a pass and raced 60 yards to give the Vandercook men a 6-0 lead. The Arabs scored on a pass from Gene Broda to Jack Bauer. Jerry Hogan swept around end for the added point and the margin of victory. Along with winter came basketball and 50 teams made up from more than 450 men participated in the popular sport. The top 32 teams played in a single elimination tournament at the season ' s end. Stadium Cut Rate bested Gateway Hall of Burnham, 56-42, in a hard fought battle in the final. Numerous softball teams were organized for the major intramural activity during the spring. Fraternities, dormitories, and independents participated. A blanket finish in one of the dash events at the intramural track carnival. The Arabs, winners of the intramural foot- ball league playoff.

Throughout the year there were tournaments held in table tennis, golf, volleyball, archery, and tennis. There was also an active bowling league which played a complete round each semester. The annual track carnival was held in the late spring. Interest among the fratern- ities was livened by the presentation by Kappa Alpha Psi of the Ed Taylor memorial track award to the fraternity placing highest in the final standing. Last year Sigma Tau Gamma won the handsome trophy and the honor of keeping of it until a new winner takes over. Much credit is due Coach Maus and his staff for the full and varied program offered for those that are not in varsity competition, but who are interested in some kind of athletic participation.

The physical education department staff is responsible for upholding the fine tradition which Western has established as a producer of competent men in the field of physical education. It administers a complete major and minor curriculum designed to adequately prepare the graduate for a career in the field. Included in the curriculum for majors are required courses in the technology of football, basket- ball, baseball, and track. The staff also is responsible for carrying out the general physical program for the male student body. Each student without veteran ' s service or an adequate medical excuse is required to complete 12 hours of work before graduation. To the physical education system at Western is due the credit for turning out many graduates who have distinguished themselves with outstanding coaching and teaching records. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 278 WOMEN ' S PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Women ' s physical education department under the direction of Miss Crystal Worner is well known to Western ' s women because it plays a large part in their college curriculum. A unique feature of the department is a course in individual gymnastics designed to correct posture defects that are observed when the student enters the depart- ment. Each student in this course takes a special series of exercises for her own personal posture defect. The Women ' s physical education department has three specific aims: to provide a well rounded physical education program for all women at Western, to provide recreation in physical activities for all interested women, and to train teachers to be able to teach physical education regardless of what her curriculum may be. In addition to training physical education instructors and supplying the necessary hours in physical education, a course in Red Cross swimming is offered. This course is designed to enable both men and women students to pass the tests given by a representative of that organization. At the conclusion of these tests those people passing are given their instructor ' s certificate. Students interested in the curriculum of physio-therapy use the physical education department to obtain a major in physical education which is a prerequisite of physio-therapy.
