Was a master in the art ol diplomacy, experiencing no difficulty in persuading his multi- tudinous girl friends that it is always much more fun to remain at home and make fudge than it is to sit through an utterly boresome evening at one of the so-called popular dansants. Often dis- played his innate courage by breaking his prom dates at the eleventh hour and could be depended upon to laugh at even the old proiessorial jokes. Reminds one of a Grape Nuts advertisement because of his never-failing pep and vivaciousness. Threw his arms out of joint weekly while leading cheers and bears the reputation ot class innocent .

History of the Class of 1932 Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, and now the day has come when the members ot the Class of ' 52, who entered St. Xavier Col- lege as lads ot seventeen and eighteen, are about to leave Xavier University as men who have reached and passed their twenty-hrst year. The record oi the years of this transition is a brilliant one. The Class ol ' 32 had stars in every field — the scholastic, the athletic , the literary, the dramatic, the social, the executive; some strove to add to Xavier ' s renown in one line, some to enhance her standing in another; some worked In this field, some in that; but all worked tor Xavier, and all worked in unison, so that a solid body of accomplishment remains in the records and reputation of Xavier U., even though those who Inscribed it there will scatter to the various states of the Union and to various fields of endeavor. Andrew Schmidt was president of this active group tor the opening halt ot its stay at Xavier — its Freshman and Sophomore years; and John Nolan was president tor the closing half — its Junior and Senior years. Both were admirable leaders and both deserve the sincere hand- clasps ot their companions and the gratitude ot the institution which they served. In its Freshman 3 ' ear the thirty-two group set a high standard tor future Freshman classes by reason of the large number of active members which it contributed to the Dante Club, the Sodality, and the Phllopedian and Masque societies. Page 76 Ofe MUSKETEER. The Sophomore year tound the class ' athletes stepping to the fore. A record iiumLer oi letters were awarded to second-year students; and surely no one will ever forget the toctball game in which thirteen Sophomores saw action. In this same year the class furnished three debaters, ten staff members for the Xai ' erian A ' cum-, seven Dante Club members and seven Masque Society members. The ranks of the Father Finn Clef Club were composed largely of Sophomores, and two members of that class participated in the NA ' ashington Oratorical Contest. The Junior year of this group of students was full of e.xciting climaxes. There were five or six of them during the football season furnished chiefly by the dozen Junior members on the squad. Another climax was the Junior Prom. It was the first on the campus and the best ever. Other big moments were furnished by the placing oi a Junior in the Intercollegiate English Contest, the winning of all possible Masque Society prizes by two Juniors, and the outstanding work done by several Juniors for the various issues of The Xm ' ier Athenaeum. Again the University ' s numerous organizations were well supported by the members ot this class. In the present year these various lines of endea ' or have been carried to their culmination; and in the mental and physical, religious and social phases ol college life, the Class ot ' 52 has once more been outstanding in both endeavor and achievement. Between the hearty Ave! of the autumn of 1928, and the reluctant Vale! ot the spring of 1952, great deeds were accomplished by the present gradu ating class, and the memory of these deeds shall not soon pass away.

During his two years as class president he was ever the leader, pointing the way for his fellow-classmen in all activities. With his acceptance of Student Council Presidency, he enlarged his field ot influence so that it was felt all over the campus.

These immortal words ot Caesar can be justly applied to the mem- bers of the Junior Class, a group ot determined young men. unexcelled and unequalled hv their prowess in the scholastic and athletic activities on the campus. When Xavier opened her portals in September, this body ol young men, successful in two previous years of study and achievements, crossed her threshold to drink Irom her fountain ot Wisdom and Knowledge, and add more laurels to her already luminous record. It was a trying year, but every obstacle was overcome. The Junior Prom, crowning event of the social calendar, under the able-bodied guidance ot the committee, received the praise of both the Faculty and the attendance. The initiative of the Juniors could not be denied. The Xai ' ertan AVu .f. Poland Philopedian Sodality, Debating Society, AluSKETEER, Dante Club and others tound them taking an active and prominent part. On the gridiron Captain-elect AlcPhail, Aloellering. Hosty, Lubbers and Steinkamp, backed by two years ot eventtu! experience, displayed that lighting Alusketeer spirit. Scarcely had the echo of the final whistle on the tootball field died away, when basketball togs were put on by Mercurio, Corbett and Stadler. who performed as veterans. Participation in scholastic endeavors were not neglected, in the Latin and English contests. Ginocchio and Winstel auled the progress of the class by receiving honored recognition. Schoo and Dewan gave amjile support to the Debating Team. When support or interest was needed, the Juniors responded. Theirs is an enviable record, crowned with successes. They can look upon the college year oi 51-52 with a feeling of satisfaction. iMay their Senior year bring them that tribute, which only comes through effort and achievement, making them honored sons ot dear old Alma Mater.

SopKomore Class History JOHN HUGHES The members of the Class of ' 54, who as freshmen, had seen the flag oi their class floating proudly o ' er the campus, entered their sophomore year to tind themseK ' es confronted with new duties. No longer were they to abide by the rules laid down for them as freshmen; no longer to wear their caps at all times; no longer were they to break the rules; no longer to be paddled. Instead, they were there to enforce the rules, to watch with eager eye for careless freshmen, to seize upon the luckless rule-breaker, and to wield the stout paddle of discipline. The class was again led by Jack Hughes, re-elected after a splendid, though necessarily hectic term as freshman president. Hughes combined the three highly important qualities of ability, leadership and popularity, and as a result, has passed two highly successful terms of ofiTice. Under his guidance the Class Dance, held on December 10, at the Hotel Alms, was one of the outstanding functions of the school year. Members of not only the Sophomore Class, but of the student body, thronged to the scene of the festivities, and contributed to the evening ' s merriment. Social successes, these Sophomores. But their achievements do not stop here. Indeed, we are but starting.

Engrossed in bold-iace, glaring type, the letters, THE FRESHMAN, beckoned to many Catholic youths, to which some one hundred and fifty of us simultaneously heeded. We open the cover of the first volume to find treshmen dominating the entire page. THE tRESHiMAN, by John A. Freshman, published by The Freshman Comiiany, Xavier Univer- sity, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1951-1952. With a regularity of pace, undeniably comiirehensive of all within us. Chapter I transpires the scene oi our entering college, our somewhat blighted egotism, our adoption and baptism (under fire) by the avenging sophomores. They, evidently imbued with that characteristic flavor of Xaverian coordination and friendship, or what is more likely, possessed with an egregious notion as to what constitutes a Vigilante, inculcated In. and upon, us that noble spirit required and demandeil of us. Left to our own resources, we organized into a compact body, electei! that vitalizing personality, Ambrose Lindhorst, as president of both our class and Junior Sodality, together with Thomas Schmidt, as secretary, and Lewis Ryan, as student councilman. We proceeded to further acclimate ourselves with the innovation ot college lite under the genial tutelage of Lindy, Lew, and Tom. After our period of, what some called, probation had been successfully completed, we once again regained our self-possession. Thus Chapter II began. The old cycles ot social and academic functions, with the slow, determinetl wheezing and sputtering of a steam engine, cautiously developed sufilicient freshman energy until we were received with approbation as an integral part of the speetiing locomotive. Alomentum carried us forwarti, we never lagged. Wasn ' t it a fact we presentetl a congruous j ercentage at every public event? We sped on to the debate last fall, the football games, with our various eccentricities, numerous dances which literally dotted the calendar; practically anywhere we could perpetuate our newly- acquired spirit by being seen, and in most cases, heard.

Attendance was not the restraint of our ideals, for while pages clicked mechanicallv on, the locomotive could not be headed. We debated, pro and con, with older members ot the Philo- |iedian Society; we inaugurated a new science clul), the Pasteur Club; we joined, yea swelled the chorus of the Clef Club — we paused to revel in the freshness, the appeal, ot James Rudy Cotter ' s inimitable radio voice. The shrill whistle announcing our forging ahead was sounded by .Ambrose Lindhorst, in the Oratorical Contest, while the current for the clangnig electric bell was being supplied principally by Clift Lange and his associates ot the Xairnan AViiV. We found it not quite an easy task to accomplish the end of this chapter; some of our more energetic members continued on into the realm oi manly endeavors. Chapter 111 lay before us, its leather-bound parchment leaves crammed to their capacity, a most decided vicissitude expressed itself. The strength, massiveness of our machinery became obvious. Athletes to the fore! With amazing might of stubborn, yet courageous driving speed, our football squad, captained by |ohn McCreary, or just plain Mac, established itself as more than merely a thorn in the side of the Varsity eleven — it was a whole cactus bush. The basketball team likewise deserves to be accredited an active, special function of our organism. Intramural basketball e.xpended the athletic enthusiasm ot the majority of our number, it was the safety valve. While this subdivision is pos sibly smaller than the other chapters, we feel it is in established proportion to our prescribed book ot lile. But one partition followed. Of the perceived qualities lielonging to various freshmen whose names we know and heard every day, this chapter deals not, for they are honored elsewhere. Chapter IV accounts for the coal cab attached directly and securely behind the engine. It is the fuel, the very life upon which the preceding parts depend so much. To us, it comprised the unsung, unassuming figures in our rank and file of life. Their absence would have created a ghastly loss of prestige to the symmetry of our mechanism, our rotary motion would have reduced to a sickening spurt. Imagine, a locomotive without coal! With these ideas foremost in our minds, we wrote Finis to Chapter IV, Volume 1, to which shall be added three succeeding books, the last in ' 55. The engine puffed triumphantly into its first stop-over yard, one-fourth of its journey complete. The yard has no turn-table, where we can return over the road we first rode. Tracks are clear, signals all green, wheels oiled, steam fizzing. . . Harold Link, 55. Pa e 89 e MUSKETEER.

The Sen ior Sodal ity B L ' L L E R Burke SCHWAH During this scholastic year of 1931-52 the Senior Sodality, one ot the oldest and most traditional organizations on the campus, had for its specific purpose the decided betterment of the spiritual activity of the student body. This was to be a banner year in so far as a religious spirit would be fostered; and with this aim in view the moderator, Father Gallagher, and the prefects, Elmer Buller, John Schwab and Bernard Burke, with the aid of the Central Committee which they tormed, set to worlt. The first problem which they attacked and solved was the matter of routine in services which readily lent itself to fostering distraction. Instead of reciting the Office of the Blessed Virgin habitually every week at the regular meeting various other pious exercises and prayers were substituted. This proved to be a great improvement. Services were better attended and Lle otion more sincere than previously. Next a plan for regular attendance at Holy Communion was considered. This was by no means a new idea, yet this year every means was to be extended in a great effort to realize a hundred per cent attendance at the University Communion Day which was to be the First Friday of the month. Confessions were arranged to be heard at times most convenient to the students, and the distribution of Holy Communion in hke manner. Every facility was sought. The result was gratifying and worthy of the efforts put forth. Page 94 ' yke, MUSKETEER. The third matter on which the Sodahty concentrated its attention was one concerning the inspiration ot true veneration for the Blessed Sacrament. Frequent visits to the chapel not only by the members ot the Sodahty, but also by the students at large were encouraged. In this way it was hoped that a love and respect ior the Blessed Sacrament would be implanted into the hearts oF all the stu Jents. By these means the Sodahty strove to accomplish the chief purpose of Its existence; namelv, the preparation ot young men to meet the temptations ot every day life and to combat them successtully. Everything else was laid aside in order to concentrate all efforts in this one direction. The task was not a gigantic one, yet the results cannot be measured. They consist in the establishment of an ideal which will be before the members of the organization for lite and will aid them through the difficult phases of a modern world which seems to have forgotten the existence of God. This ideal will impress upon them the necessity of leading a good Catholic lite thereby being an example to their tellowmen. The good which will result irom this is indeilnitely great. The Sodality could hope ior no more. The work ot the Sodality tor this year is over and those members who will meet with it no more part with a teeling of sadness. They appreciate the good they have derived from this organization and are determined to live up to that ideal which It has given them. Page 95 yfCe. MUSKETEE . The Junior Sodality Helmick HOGAN LiNDHORST The Junior Sndalit - consists ot the Freshman Chiss ol the College ot Liberal Arts and it is a division ot the Senior Sodality. Under the direction of Father Grace and the Prefects, Ambrose Lindhorst, Edward Hogan and Robert HelmicU, this organization has taken quite a prominent place in the spiritual activity ot the campus. Not content with merely improving their own spiritual welfare as has been the case with Freshman Sodalities in past years, this i roup has sought an outlet for their efforts in other fields ot endeavor. The chief outside work of this division is of a charitable nature under the direction ot a Social Service Committee. The Catholic Boy Scouts and the Big Brothers ' League have received very much attention and help. Also the Missions, both local and toreign, get aid from this group. Their work during the past year has met with great success and the Fresh- men t.leser ' e e ■ery praise tor the fine spirit they have displayed in carrying out this program. Pane 9b ytTa MUSKETEER. The niHin purpose ot the Junior Sodality has always been the fostering of a love and de- votion to the Blessed Virgin in the minds and hearts of the new members of the student body. Here they are taught the true meaning of the Sodality and learn what a great privilege it is to be a member of this organization. Here the spirit and traditions ot a society almost as old as the Uni -ersity itself are imbilied. The Freshmen have taken advantage ot the many opportunities placed at their disposal for their spiritual advancement during the past year and in so doing have been an inspiration to the entire student body. May they continue to do the same throughout their college careers and in doing so nothing but success can attend their endeavors. The Blessed Alother always aids those who show devotion and love for her. k Page 91 ■ !P CTfe MUSKETEER. Clef Club Richard O ' Dowd President John Castellini Director John Anton Vice-president The most important extra-curricnlar activities of any university are the cultural activities. The principles promulgated in the lecture hall must be supplemented in some tangible way it the fruits ot a liberal education are to be realized. Xavier University can be justly proud of her student organizations which are doing so much toward giving the undergraduate a better appreciation ot the finer thmgs of life. Probably, the Clet Club is the organization which has the best opportunity of coming before the larger majority of people and showing the cultural advantages offered by Xavier. Only the best pieces of classical and modern music form the programs of the Clet Club, and the renditions accorded these pieces has been universally accepted with favor. Every year the Clef Club extends its circle of friends and admirers wider. With each year the number ot concerts given increases. This year after the Clef Club had presented more than a dozen concerts in the environs of Cincinnati, the crowning achievement was reached when it presented a concert over station VVLW. In this concert the Clef Club sang before the largest audience ever assembled to hear it and the comments heard were most favorable. A great deal of credit must be given to lohn |. Castellini, the conductor, for the marvelous manner in which the club performed. Air. Castellini, besides his education m America, Page 98 C fe MUSKETEER.

The Dante Club Despite the prevailing business conditions ot the piist year the Dante Club, under the capable management ot its president, Elmer J. Buller, has enjoyed one ot the most active seasons it has ever experienced. Through the untiring efforts of the president many new places have been added to the program ot lectures, while the schools, convents and other organizations in Greater Cincinnati have all warmly received its highly entertaining and in- structive lectures. During the past year the Club made a number of tours through the South and East, and scored immediate success at e erv engagement. The Dante Club originally started its program with The Divine Comedy , an d took its name irom that most noble ot all Catholic classics, Dante ' s Divlna Commedia. The founders ot the Club jirepared a descriptive account of this great masterpiece, supplemented it with a collection ot slides based on Dore ' s tamous etchings and have left it to the Club as a popular lecture, as well as an incentive to tuture members to aspire to greater heights. Each year the Club has added a lecture to its repertoire and at the present time the list comprises eight appealing and interesting talks. Father John J. Wynne ' s book. The Jesuit Martyrs of North America, was maile the basis ot the second lecture, recounting the Ines aiitl accomjilishments ot the Jesuit missionaries m New York and Canada. This lecture won immediate ta ' or and has been retained throughout the interxening years. The popvilarity ot this stirring lecture was greatly increased by the canonization ot St. Isaac Jogues. St. John Brebeut, and their companions, in June, 1930. A third lecture was prepared and added during the season ot 1927-1928. This new pre- sentation, The Crusades. proved especially ajijiealing to students of history, since it ofteretl a graphic anil comprehensive view ot an interesting chajiter oi the past which is otten in- adequately considered by many historians. Yet its results antl effects are both interesting and signiticant. In the following year, club members turned again to more strictly literary fields and pro- duced the Shakespeare lecture. In this presentation the members endeavor to give a com- prehensive picture of the great bard, the story ot his lite, a brief account ot all his dramas, and a discussion of the influence that molded his life and his work. Again the Dante Club had produced another successful lecture, which is indeed a tribute to its authors. The season ot 1929-1950 saw another addition to the series, this time an account oi the simple and appealing story of Bernadette Soubirous. the little French girl who discovered the miraculous spring at Lourdes. under the direction ot the Blessed Virgin. The lecture closes with iin imaginary pilgrimage to the world-famous shrine. After this brief treatise on the history ot Lourdes, the recipients thereof are leit with a correct impression of the truth of the seeming mysteries of this shrine. In the following year, the Club presented St. John ot Arc , w-hich was enthusiastically received and proved an aid in overcoming many false opinions that have long vitiated the memory of the Alaid of Orleans. This true characterization of St. Joan of Arc. in all the spot- less humility and heroic courage that have made her the idol of a nation, and a canonized saint ot the Church, makes an especial appeal to the academic classes who see in this young Saint a worthy model after whom they may pattern their own lives. The most recent addition to the series of lectures is The Madonna in Art , which was produced during the past year. Alembers of the Club obtained a collection of slides from Paris and prepared a lecture on the Aladonnas by all the great masters. Immediate success also marked this presentation, and In all probability it will be retained. The Club, in concluding its yearly program, will lose through graduation, a large number ot its most active and capable members; but the men to whom they pass on their unfinished work, will endeavor to carry on in the efficient manner oi their predecessors.

By means of this body a closer union between faculty and student body is obtained directly and easily, and the students ' point of view receives weighty con- sideration through its activity. Under the direction of Reverend A. ). Gallagher, S. )., the Council has enjoyed a most successful and prosperous year, and has inauguratetl many new movements antl reforms tor the benefit of the University as a unit. Every member has been e.xceptionally active and conscientious in the performance ot the duties ol his office. The Student Council is a fine example of the spirit of cooperation and harmony which e.xists between the members of the faculty and the members of the student body. It represents the most effective channel for the presentation of the wishes of the students and the most inlluentiil medium for the promulgation ot the commanils oi the faculty. With the true spirit of The Three Musketeers the students have given hearty and whole- hearted support to every project of the Council, and this has in no small measure, been re- sponsible tor the success earned by the officers.

The lirst duty to be pertormed l v the members ot the Lavoisier Chemistrv Club durini; the past year was to attend Mass and receive HoK- Communion for the repose ot the soul ot Frank Brunner, our vice-president-elect, who was Uilled in an automobile accident last summer. During the past year our club has had Dr. Broeman, an .inalytical chemist, and Dr. O ' Flaherty, head ot the Tanners ' Research Laboratory at the University ot Cincinnati, address its members upon se ' eral different phases oi mdustrial chemistry. This club is an honorary society; only those students who have a high standing in then- studies of chemistry here at the University are admitted. The fact that this organization has maintained its e.xistence is a long stride in the right direction. At present the members are, ot course, trying to better it to the best of their ability, but primarily they are striving to keep it alive so that the future mav bring forth good fruit. Now. membership to this ckib means a reward lor studv, but think what it would mean to the students and to Xavier if this club had the lacilitics ot modern research lafioratories and the means to permit this work and to secure schtilarships ior stutltnts who have shown marked scientific ability. This may sound like a pleasant dream, but the scientific clubs at many of our renowned universities started just as did ours. Some day Xavier, too, a greater Xa ' ier, will ha ' e this type of department for ad ' anced work.

The call (or membership to the Masque Society was answered by about seventy-five aspir- ing applicants in addition to the dozen or so members who remained to form the nucleus of the society after last year ' s graduation. This display of enthusiasm was especially gratifying because it meant that the officers of the club would have a wider choice when a play was to be produced. The ambitious pro- gram of one-act plays which was begun so auspiciously last year, promised to be amplified in every way during the present scholastic year. The Masque Society not only affords an undergraduate the opportunity to act in plays, but under the new plan, he is permitted to direct, cast, paint scenery, in short, he has ample opportunity to learn all the fine points which are indigenous to the show game . Such a training is invaluable in later life. To state a concrete instance, Louis Feltlhaus. ' 52, wrote two ]ilays, So This Is Const.mce and Up A Tree . The latter play has been accepted for publication by a prominent eastern publishing firm. In this humble beginning, we can see future undergraduates of Xavier writing their own plays for production m the campus theatre. The destinies of the Alasque Society were guided during the year by Reverend Edward Carrlgan, S. T-. as moderator. Robert Maggini was the president and William Muehlen- kam[i the secretary-treasurer. 106 ytCa MUSKETEER. The M erma id T a vcrn Front Row — Murphy, Feluhaus, Rev. Paul Sweeney, s.j., Bkearton, Brink.

During the iirst year ot its existence, Xa ier ' s -Mermaid Tavern drew most oi its precedents and customs from its tamous London predecessor and namesake. But during its second (and present) year, it began to stand on its own literary feet. It harked back, as during the past, to the excellent literary and social precedents of the Alermaid Tavern that Jonson, Shakespeare, Keats and Noyes have immortalized in verse, but it did not spend all of its time doing this. Its frequenters began to page through their own scrap-book of endeavor and accomplishment, and seeing its growing bulk, its independence of spirit, and its excellence ot execution realized that they had something oi their own to leed on. They belonged, said they to themselves, most probably in dactyls, to a Mermaid Tavern which fhfj were in the process of immortalizing. And so they rose up on their own feet, or tilted back boldly in their chairs, as the case happened to be, and iound that they could actually stand on their own. And the resulting delight was a sensation that only a Taverner can experience. Presence at and participation in meetings is the best criterion ot a membership ' s interest, and by that criterion the Taverners had an exhilarating interest in the Tavern. It was most brilliantly evidenced at the climatic meeting of the year— a reunion of charter members, with John A. Bunker, honorary member, as honorary guest. What ' s done at Xavier ' s Tavern? Just what was done at Shakespeare ' s and Jonson ' s; on a lesser scale, some would add. but it ' s really an open question. Ranging from a Nonsense meeting (it being Lewis Carroll year), to a Sonnet meeting, the gamut of the literary styles and moods was exhausted during the I95I-I932 season. To summarize, as the orators say, the Alermaid Tavern is established as an important and unique part ot Xavier University life. The Host for the year was Louis Feldhaus, and the Drawer, John Snyder.

This society has for its purpose the growth and betterment of the University. The wonderful progress it has made is attested to by the group of splendid buildnigs which now grace the campus. This organization has been functioning since 1924, and it has been most zealous in pro- moting the welfare of Xavier. It is composed of some forty members. This membership is not limited to members of the Alumni alone, but it consists of those people. Alumni and friends of the institution who are most interested in seeing Xavier maintani her leading position amonii other institutions ot higher learnino;.

The Poland Ph i loped i a n Society Alvin Ostholthoff President Griffin Murphy Secretary The PolanJ Philopejlan Society, ioinnlfil liv the hite Rev. William F. Poland, S.J., is the official debating organization of Xavier University. Amongst its members are the ablest debaters in the student body, and membership is a requirement for admission to the Pi Alpha Mu honorary fraternity, and for participation in the Verkamp Debate and the Washington Oratorical Contest. The Society meets every Monday to discuss topics of interest. It has been the policy this past year to limit the discussions to questions having a direct and definite bearing upon the members of the organization. However, at times questions of national and international nature are debated. Four members debate a subject and a decision is given by a critic judge appointed from the audience. Following this the question is placed before the house and any member is entitled to give his opinion and to state arguments lor his convictions. At times the controversial atmosphere generated by the open forum is violent due to the diversity of beliefs held Viy the members. This year the Society enjoyed the benefit of being under the direction of Rev. Claude J. Pernin, S.I., who possesses a reputation as a public speaker, and who has done much to raise the standard of the Society to the highest possible degree. He was ably assisted ly a staff of competent officers: Alvin Ostholthoff, president; Elmer Buller, vice-president; Griffin Murphy, secretary; Paul Hllbert, treasurer, anil Elmer Glassmeyer, chairman oi the committee on debates.

Undeniably, to possess the art of speaking easily and naturally before an audience is a valuable asset tor anyone, and it is the aim of Xavier to equip everyone of her graduates with the best possible foundation to be olitained anywhere. The man prepared to convince the world ot his ideas is usually successful, and the ability to argue convincingly is a great advantage in this direction. Furthermore, this activity is of importance to those who intend to follow law as a profession, for the success of a lawyer depsnJs greatly upon his ability to address and persuade an audience. Any meeting of the Philopedian Society resembles a training ground tor future lawyers, and it is a known fact that many of Cincinnati ' s most distinguished members ot the legal profession attended and participated in the debates sponsored by the Philopedian Society. f Pa e in Ofe MUSKETEER.

The X Club IS an organization which is composed ot those men who have earned a letter in some branch oi athletics. It is a division of the X Association designed primarily for under- graduates and its purpose is to inspire school spirit throughout the student body by the par- ticipation on the part of its members in the various activities of the campus. It also lends its support to intramural athletics and along this line has accomplished great work in the past year. Due to the untiring efforts ot these men the various intramural sports ha ' e reached a height never betore attained and every member of the stiulent body is gi -en ample oppor- tunity of getting plenty of exercise. The ofticers of the club are Robert Sack, president; John Tracy, -ice-president ; Bernaril Wilhelm, secretary; Willard Taylor, treasurer, and Paul Beckwith, sergeant-at-arms. These men are responsible for a great deal ot the success that the club has enjoyed. By their fine e.xample of earnest effort they have urged the other letter-men to accomplish that purpose for which the club was organized. Xavier has profited greatly by the activity of the club and values highly the spirit it has inspired throughout the University. Pfl 7e J Ofe MUSKETEEr . Elet Hall 4,_ Rev. John I. Grace, s.j. Mr. John A. McEvoy, s.j. The scholastic year 1924-25 witnessed the inauguration oi a new policy at the College, that ot providing room and board lor students from out ot town. This policy met with the very greatest success in those first years until now the reward for the labor and effort is plainly evident. Smce that time the years have witnessed the growth of the number of students from various states. The success which crownetl the original effort was lar surpassetl this ear hall tilled to capacity, with men from lar and witle. ins, the Elet Hall IS an ultra-motlern residence hall which will accommodate one hundred and ten students. It is tully equipped with single and double rooms and all the modern conveniences of a home. It is almost centrally located on the campus with easy access to all of the athletic and scholastic features of which the University is proud to boast. The wondertul spirit ol goo .l-tellowship and fraternity is very much In evidence both in the hall and out of it. At arious times during the school year the monotony ot the class work is broken by the existence ot entertainments of all sorts which are held in the adjoining building, the College Union. Dances and other social activities are held during the winter months and affnrti much pleasure and cnjo ' mcnt to the resident students. The Hail IS under the able direction of Rev. John I.

Alumni Association )ACK WAl.SH Faitlilul Akimni are a prime requisite tor the ileveloiiment and growth oi a school. Most American colleges owe their phenomenal growth to the untiring efforts and unstinted generosity ot satisfied groups of former students. Xavier University has been most fortunate in this respect, as is evinced by the generous response ot alumni members when called upon tor aid. It has been due to alumni that the Poland Scholarship Fund was founded; that Xavier has a campus, buildings and equipment that are unsurpassed in any University and hnally that spirit of comradship found among all Xavier students may be traced to the Alumni. The purpose of the officers of this body has always been the advancement of Xavier and to this end no effort has been spared. It is the sincere wish ot the students and triends ot the school that this body will function in such a manner, that the amazing success which have crowned its efforts in the past will be duplicated in the future.

Under the pressure of a few devotees, the Chess Club was organized. That same year, a tournament was conducted, and the response was so gratitying as to make the Chess Club a permanent and growing h.xture in the University. Under the leadership of Robert Maggini as president of the club, the membership was almost doubled this year over the membership of last year. A tournament was held in which every player plays until he has met all other members in the tournament. As we go to press, the tournament is still in progress, with tour or five players in virtual ties for first and second place. In order to sponsor interest in chess at the University, the club presented lecturers who are prominent in the chess field. Thus the various Intricate prolilems of the methods employed by the various masters were clarified. The club also afforded the opportunit ' to students to learn to play chess from the very beginning.

By capturing sixth, seventh and eighth places the Musketeer penmen scored sufficient points to retain their university pre-eminence in the com- bined results ot the Latin and English contests. First in neither contest; yet best in both! This well-bespeaks the victors ' versatility as well as their ability. For the fifth consecutive year Xavier has outranked all oi her other opponents — an unbroken record extending from 1928 to the present day. John Winstel, ' 55. victor in the Latin Contest as a Freshman and Sophomore, won sixth place in this year ' s English contest. Louis Feldhaus, ' 52, who was tenth last year, hnished seventh. Vincent Eckstein, ' 55, was eighth, truly a rare honor tor a Freshman. The subject ot the 1952 contest was a challenging one. requiring a sound knowledge of economic, sociological and religious principles. Quadrageslmo Anno: How Can Catholic Students Apply Its Principles? The contestants had to familiarize themselves with Pope Pius XI ' s able encyclical, issued just a year ago, on the reconstruction of the social order. The success of th? Xavenans is a tribute to their wide research and clear analysis ot the question. Page 120 ZrtTa MUSKETEER.

From the numerous aspirants for honore in the local contest the papers of John Brink, ' 34, Louis Ginocchio, ' 55, and Bernard Menkhaus, ' 52, were selected as the most outstanding and were sent to St. Louis to compete in the Intercollegiate event. When the final results of the latter contest were announced John Brink was awarded third place while Louis Ginocchio finished fifth under the wire . All Xavier salutes these worthy knights of the pen and dictionary . Their efforts have done much to hold aloft the scholastic banner of their Alma Mater, the symViol ot the literary and cultural achievements of her sons tor more than a century. Nevertheless, in paying tribute to the successful contestant, it is also well to recall the man who was the motivating genius in their linguistic endeavors. For many years Rev. Gregory Derschug, S.J., professor of Latin, has worked quietly behind the scenes, training his men for this and other contests. The glory ot his proteges reflects back upon Father Derschug himself and upon the splendid training available to scholars at Xavier.

It read, Resolved, That college education be restricted to those of superior ability. To hear the pros and cons of this ve.xed question, a large gathering oi undergraduates and triends of the Unn ' ersity assembled in the Mary G.

The Verkamp Gold Medal, which is awarded to the best individual debater of the evening, was assigned to Robert W. Maggini. This award to Maggini was m keeping with his brilliant career of debating at the L nn ' ersity. Page 12 y yfTa MUSKETEER. Pi Alpha Mu Xavier University ' s only recognized fraternity is an honorary one, Pi Alpha A u. To provide recognition for those loyal sons of Alma Alater who have distinguished them- selves in fields other than athletic; to honor the men who are outstanding in scholastic and academic endeavors Pi Alpha iMu vvas established at Xavier University in March, 1926. From that day forward the infant organization grew with amazing rapidity; its popularity has be- come outstanding, especially among the upper-classmen; to be acclaimed one of its members is the coveted goal ol every campus leader. Eligibility rules lor entrance into this traternity are: (1) A minimum general average ot B maintained throughout the entire tour years ot college lite; (2) Enrollment in the Poland Phdopedian Society tor the same length ot time. Membership in Pi Alpha Mu is limited to undergraduates who have been active in college publications and literary work, who have been leaders of campus clubs and societies or who have won oratorical and debating medals under these categories are included: The Musketeer, The Xai ' t ' fian A ' fu ' .r, The Aihenaeiim. The Dante Club. Clef Club, The Masque Society, The Varsity Debating Team, The Washington Oratorical Contest, The Intercollegiate English and Latin Contests. With regard to the publications memberships must be extended over a period of at least two years; however, service of one year in the capacity of either editor- in-chief or business manager is especially acceptable. Students who have maintained an average of A are eligible ipso facto . These rigorous qualifications bear evidences as to the exclusive character of this organiza- tion. When, each year at commencement e.xercises, the successful candidate receives a gold key, his badge of membership, he is likewise receiving a tribute attesting to his outstanding ability and service. The staiulards of the fraternity being high, the members are correspondingly few in number. Previous to this year only thirty-five Xaverians have been enrolled in Pi Alpha Mu.

The Musketeer Band BILL HAAS Drum Major The Musketeer Band under the direction of Mr. Maurice King, a well-known Cincinnati musician, has attained great heights in the past year by reason of the colortul spectacle it has presented by its excellent playing and drilling at the various athletic contests. This organization has gained much prestige for the University through- out the entire state and thereby has definitely established itself as a very popular activity on the campus. The members ot the Band have proven themselves true Xavier men by participating in this activity which requires so much from them. It IS necessary that they make many sacrifices in order to reach the high degree of e.vcellence they have attained. For this fine display ot spirit they deserve unstinted praise and applau.se. The drum major. Bill Haas, can also claim his share of the applause. By his struting and haughty demeanor he has added much splendor to the Band. His marching down the field, wielding the baton in a truly grand manner, and his leading the Band through intricate formations has given to it that dash of pep which is of such importance in a collegiate organization of this kind. Xavier University is proud of its fine Band and appreciates all that it has given her — the fame it has spread abroad by the excell- ence of its musical renditions, the honor it has caused her to receive, and the color it has added to her campus acti ' ities. The Band is the equal of any in the State, both by reason of its achievements and by its excellent appearance. Xavier University boasts of no finer organization than this one.

Credit for the imagination and industry involved must go to its editors, Louis A. Feldhaus and Paul P. Desmond, of the Senior Class, and to Rev. Edward Carrigan, S.L. faculty moderator. According to custom there were three issues: fall, winter and spring; and in each were to be found features appropriate to the season in which it appeared. The contributions were up to a very high standard, an opinion confirmed by numerous personal and editorial expressions of approval. Moreover, an attractive variety was to be found in each issue. Fiction, poetry, one-act plays, essays, both formal and informal — all were to be found among the contents. Outstanding contributions were: .In Open- Air Theatre, an imaginative essay by Frank X. Brearton; Heed No JIan t Adi ' ice, a dramatic poem by John A. Brink; The Call oj the Open Road, a narrative by Paul Desmond, and So This Is Constance, a one-act play by Louis A. Feldhaus. It is interesting to note that in the course of the year letters of congratulation were re- ceived from such literary figures as John A. Bunker of Cincinnati, Rev. John LaFarge, S. J., of New York, and Alaurice Baring, English novelist. Page 127 fCa MUSKETEER. n N a verian iNews John Martin PUILIPP OVERBECK The Xai ' crian AVuv is the official organ ot Xavier University. Through this pubhcation the various undergraduate societies and organizations maintain contact with their conferees of the University and give both students and alumni a weekly review of events happening on the campus. In the past few years, the Na ' s has pursued a straightforward policy. The pohcy of its editors has been A Straightforward and Frank Publication of Facts . Toward this end the various staffs of the Ndi ' s have devoted their entire energies with a zeal which is truly heroic. In the first part of this scholastic year, John Martin, the editor, was fortunate in having an experienced staff with which to work. Messrs. Desmond, Nolan, Anton, Feldhaus, Powell and Maggini formed the nucleus around which Martin built his staff. The AVu ' .r was again fortunate In having Philip Overbeck as its business manager. By his untiring efforts, the Xiii ' crian AVvtM was circulated in all the leading institutions of learning throughout the nation. The high standing which the AVifj- enjoys is due in great part to the splendid work performed b3 ' Overbeck and his very efficient staff. With the advent of the second semester, the senior members resigned, as is the custom at the University. To fill the vacancy in the editorship, Francis Brearton was chosen, assisted by Robert Bueter as his associate. Maynard Renter was selected to serve as business man- ager. These men have gathered a promising array of workers to help them in carrying the high standards of the Xiwcrian Nckk ' s to greater heights in collegiate journalism. Paoe 128 ka MUSKETEER.

Lodge Reading Room, on the night of April 1, 1952, at the Annual Xavier University Junior Prom. This year marks the second anniversary of the Prom held on the campus. In previous years the Prom has been characterized by its sheer beauty, the lavishness of its arrangements, and the regal gathering of college people. However, this year all previous brilliance was far surpassed. The dancers weaved in and out and swayed to the appealing and fascinating music of WlUard Barnes and his orchestra. The patrons and patronesses who viewed the festivities from a distance, beheld smiling youth gliding in and out in a bewildering combination oi color. Particular attention was given to the selection of Prom lavors, which were presented to the ladles upon entering. The favors have always been a source of surprise and pleasure, and were this year very appealing. They consisted ot necklaces. The Grand March, begun shortly alter midnight, was letl by Mr. |oIin J. Nolan, president of the Senior Class, and his charming partner. Miss Mary Broeman. The members of the Junior Class who comprised the Prom Committee were Louis Aloeller- ing, chairman; Roland Ryan, Jack Hosty, Ralph Wilkiemeyer and Ed Nurre.

The Club Rooms were gorgeously decorated and adorned with banners signitying the spirit of Xavier and bearing the colors of the University. Several hundred couples swayed and glided softly to the appealing music of Dave Bernie and his orchestra. Flaming youth was resplendent in all its glory, and was revealed colorfully as the dim figures danced to and fro to the strains of the tantalizing music. Upon the stroke of twelve the Grand March was begun, and was led by iMiss Broeman accompanied by John Nolan, president ot the Senior Class. Then loUow-ed the entire assembly marching slowly to the mellow strains of familiar Xavier tunes. The favors, always looked upon as a source ot delight by the ladies, will this year be long remembered by their owners. They consisted of purses which were both attractive and useful. Phil Overbeck, chairman of the committee in charge ot this gorgeous affair, was assisted in the arrangements by Willard Taylor. Bernard Phelan, Charles Schmitt, Cliff Meiners and Elmer Glassmeyer. John Nohm served on the committee in an advisory capacity. These men are to be complimented for their efforts in making this year ' s Ball one of the most en- joyable and most successful in the history of the University. The Senior Ball is one of the most e.xceptional and outstanding social events ot the Uni- versity calendar, and this year proved to be a veritable success in every way.

The Homecoming Dance The Annual Xavier University Homecoming Dance was held Saturday evening, November 7, in the iMarie Antoinette Ballroom of the Hotel Alms, and was under the sole direction of the Undergraduate X Association, with the cooperation of Rev. Alfred J. Gallagher, S.J., the Club Moderator. The dance was the climax of the annual Homecoming Celebration, which lasted for several days. Arnold ScuU ' . chairman ot the committee in charge ot the arrangements, and the other men serving on his committee, left no stone unturned in order to make the dance a tremendous success. The ballroom was richly and gorgeously decorated with the University colors and Xavier shields and pennants were hung on the walls so as to add to the true college spirit, which was very much in evidence. The other men who assisted Mr. Scully in the preparations were Jack Hosty, Frank Mercurio and Paul Kelley. The music for the dance was furnished by Bob Ranter and his orchestra. His novel arrangement of popular and collegiate tunes won tor him the applause of the several hundred guests present. The Homecoming Dance this year was truly a great success in every respect, and the committee in charge of it should be highly complimented on the fine results which it attained. It was one of the foremost of Xavier ' s social functions this year, with the possible exception of the Junior Prom and the Senior Ball. Everyone in any way connected with making this dance a very successful one should be made to feel that they ha ' e accomplished something ' ery much worthwhile. WiLLl.AM S. POWELI,, ' 52.

Coach Meyer Each passing year ' s worth is measured by the progress made during that period. And the present high standing and wide recognition of Xavier University athletic teams is trace- able to a series ot progressi e mo ' es effected under the lead and guidance ol one individual, and had its beginning thirteen years ago. Joseph A. Meyer has just completed his thirteenth year as athletic director and head coach at Xavier. In the summer of 1920, Joe made his appearance at Xavier, whose campus then was quite devoid of the numerous facilities that now engrace and serve to beautify it. In- vigorated with the spirit of youth, for indeed as a matter of fact, Joe was for several years younger than some of the players that jilayed on some of the teams, he soon accompl ished the i:)rimarv steps of reorganization and what was to eventually culminate in the expansive athletic ilepartment we see on the campus today. The word coach, in the early years of his regime here, implied many meanings other than those given in the ordinary definition of the word. Joe besides ordinary coaching duties, often found himself engaged in the occupational duties of a carpenter: remodeling the dressing rooms, or engaged in the activities of civil engineer or surveyor: laying out the baseball diamond or football field or tennis courts, for indeed during these years the athletic fields underwent numerous changes as to site and general appearances, or again as plumber: fi.xing the showers. Diplomacy in handling men and in meeting situations plus economy in means and man- power have enabled Joe to remove innumerable obstacles that hindered his ambition to bring Xavier to the front in athletics. E. isting remnants of religious bias, or tear oi the newly rising prowess of the lusUeteer teams, or the natural aversion on the part ot most schools to compete either scholastically or athletically with schools having numerically smaller en- rollments, necessitated both sUill and patience on Joe ' s part in establishing desired athletic relations with worthwhile institutions. At present, however, the situation is somewhat re- versed, for manv of the schools that shunned in years past Xavier ' s requests tor athletic con- tests are most desirous of establishing such relations with the Musketeers. Fewness of men available for athletics, the natural result of a limited student body, Joe overcame by infusing a highly developed spirit of loyalty, a genuine desire to play, into his athletes, coupled with a system of play that denotes intelligence and sUill. At present, however, no sport suffers because of laclt of man-j)Ower. We will pass over the ordinary happenings of these years and concern ourselves with the highlights in Xavier ' s athletic annals which truly reflect as progress in that department. 1920: Joe Mever assumed the role of athletic director. Application made for entrance into the Ohio Conference. Haskell Indians defeated in football. Plan made for erecting a football stadium antl work begun. 1921: Dedication of first stadium on site of Cocoran Field. Intersectional football game plaved with Creighton University of Omaha, Neb. Freshman ineligiblity to participate in athletics invoked. As probationers, the football team scored victory over strong Ohio Northern University, an Ohio Conference member. 1922: Dedication of first stadium on site of Corcoran Field. Remarkable victory won in football over Ohio University at Athens, and a large crowd of rooters accompanied the team on the trip showing that the people were becoming conscious ot the civic worth ot a good football team. 1923: In both basketball and baseball, varsity representatives successfully played lengthy schedules. 1924: Basketball team proved to be one of the strongest in the state, and defeated some of the strongest members of the Ohio Conference in that sport. Tennis was relegated to the role of a major sport at Xavier with Doc Furste as coach. 1925: Baseball team was very good, in fact so good that every game played was attended by big league scouts. Boxing and track were initiated as major sports at this institution. 1926: Football team scored 348 points in season, winning nine games and losing one. Plans made for the new Memorial Field House. Walter Schmidt announced his intended donation. 1927: Football team scored 411 points in season, winning eight games, tieing one, and losing one, against very formidable and representative opposition — this total in points was one of the highest in the country. A record score of 132 points was made against Lee College. The new Walter Schmidt Memorial Field House was dedicated: one of the finest edifices for athletic purposes erected in the country. Basketball team was one of the best ever turned out at the school. 1928: Drive for the new stadium started. E.xpansive intramural program outlined. Golf innovated as a collegiate sport, Fa e 142 CTfe MUSKETEER, JOSEPH A. AlEYER, Director of Athletics 1929: New stadium dedicated.

Intersectional contest plaved with Loyola University from way down South in New Orleans. 1931: Football team took the longest trip ever taken by an athletic team of Xavier when they went to New Orleans to play Loyola University. Basketball team was admitted to be one of the strongest in the country. Page 143 Ofe MUSKETEER. Doc Furste An etlitor in glancing over a maUe-up copy ot the Annual and not (inding Doc ' s page in appearance would, we believe, almost intuitively tee! that something was missing. Doc IS running second only to Coach Meyer as regards consecutive appearances in Xavier Annuals. Doc has comjileted his seventh year as team physician, companion, and aide-de-camp to the athletic teams ot the school Furthermore, he is completing his seventh year as friend ot the school, not nominally, but actively. Far too lengthy, lor the available space, would be even a summarization of Doc ' s value and activity in behalf of athletics and other activities at Xavier during the past seven years. The thanks and admiration of the entire school are deservedly his. iMay he continue his good work in behalt of his adopted Alma Mater tor many a year. Page 144 CTfe MUSKETEER. i Du. WESLEY L.

Lack ot a sufilcient number of substitutes bearing enough poundage, however, was sti ll a problem, and hence speed and shiftiness were insisted upon rather than brawn and power in advancing the ball. All Joe ' s performers were capable men on defense — both as tacklers and as forward pass blockers. The blocking of the backs on offense was tar better than that exhibited on Corcoran Field for several seasons. In basketball, Joe also experienced unusual success. Napoleon once said an army marches upon its stomach , meaning that tood is essential to the well-being of an army. Well what lood is tt an army, in like manner is a good line in making touchdowns and in consequently making a good iootball team. Xavier was fortunate in having as line coach, Tim jMoynihan who played center on Rockne ' s Notre Dame Ramblers in 1929, and who also received All-American mention. Believing in the adage that a good offense is the best defense , Tim concentrated upon developing offensive play and was well rewarded, for his charges became both skilltul blockers and interterers, plus smart defenders and fierce tacklers. Innumerable comments were heard regarding the fine offensive play exhibited by the Musketeer line In the games played during the latter halt ot the season. Tim also aided Coach Meyers, during the early part of the season, in coaching the basketball team. iMark Schmidt, as Freshman coach needs no introduction to Musketeer followers. Schmidt, a former Xavier football star and All-Ohio Guard m 1924, has had previous connections as coach of Xavier teams. A well versed student of Notre Dame style of play as followed at Xavier, Schmidt was indeed ever well at ease on instructing the yearlings and in develop- ing material for the Musketeer teams of the future. His work of last season, we believe, will reflect itself gloriously in the football teams of the next three seasons. Page 148 Ofe MUSKETEER.

Football Captain BERNARD WILHELM Captain In football, the lion ' s share of the glory is generally awarded to the backfield men. It is admitted that the forward wall is the more important and does the greater amount of work. JVlindful of this, the Musketeer footliall team of 1930 elected Bernard W ' ilhelm to lead the Musketeers of ' 31. Barney is a former resident of Akron, where he played at St. Vincent ' s. As a freshman at Xavier he proved to be an immovable obstacle to the Varsity chargers. His sophomore year found him a regular tackle. In which position he e.xhibited remarkable prowess. Lack of adequate material for the end positions necessitated the shiftmg ot Barney to end. His senior year found him sufficiently drilled to give an excellent performance in either position. As a tackle, his defensive play was most laudable, but It was for playing the end position that he attained that singular glory that will cause his name to be long-remembered by Musketeer fans. During the past season he was the cause of the Musketeer ' s victory over the Indians. Barney proved to be a capable leader, both on the field and on the campus. His fighting spirit and constant alertness he augmented by setting an e.xample which all football men might well follow. In conclusion, we might add that both on the gridiron and about the campus, Barney ' ever conducted himself as a gentleman. The high esteem which his companions have for him was expressed when they conferred the captaincy- on him. Page 150 ' ykk, MUSKETEER. Football Captai n -Elect HAROLD McPHAIL Captain-Elect On a warm atternoon in September, 1929, a large, but youthful, individual made his ap- pearance upon the practice field as a member ol the Frosh football squad. Immediately his personality, coupled with apparent qualities of a good football player, won the admiration and triendship ot the other members. Later on in the season he was elected as Captain ot the Frosh . Because ot size, strength and mental dependability, this young man, nicknamed . lickey , was shitted Irom an end, at which position he had played for three years on Aquinas High School, to that ot fullback. In this new position he soon e. hibited his prowess. During the past two seasons as fullback on the ' arsity , and despite a troublesome shoulder, which from time to time has pre ented him trom practicing and playing, l lickey nevertheless has been a consistent gronnd-gainer an d an accurate forward passer. Especially did he dis- tinguish himselt. both in the Haskell game ol 1930. and more so in the Indian game of the past 1931 season. Nor does he confine all his athletic activity to the gridiron, for he is also a baseball player and has held the third base position tor the past two seasons on the Varsity nine. Now this same individual, Mickey McPhail, christened Harold, the big blonde fullback from Columbus, Ohio, was chosen at the annual tootball banquet to captain the 1932 Mus- keteers on the gridiron. A player more deser ' ing ot this honor than Alickey can hardlv be found on the Xavier squad. Suffice it is to say that we are confident that Alickey will have the honor to lead the ' 32 gridiron warriors ot Xavier to some spectacular victories and that he will ever conduct himself as an honor to Alma Mater . Page 151 yfra MUSKETEER. The Legion of Honor PAUL BECKWITH The highest honor that may be conferred upon an athlete at Xavier is the Musketeer Legion ot Honor Award , given tor outstanding pertormance on the gridiron. And indeed many of those who in the past have merited this award were comparable in football to the stars of any school in the country. This selection ot the individual worthy of this award is limited to those on the team who are in their Senior year. Careful consideration Is given to the relative merits of all players by a group ot men possessing equal knowledge of the game. Paul Beckwith. ' 52, Columbus, Ohio, was unanimously selected as the individual worthy of admission to that select group ot football players for having performed nobly tor Alma Mater on the gridiron. From Aquinas High School, in Columbus, Beckwith came to Xavier, where he soon found himself a fullback on the Freshman Team. As a sophomore, he alternated between fullback and halfback, and easily earned his letter. In his Junior year, scarcity ot backfleld material necessitated his alternating between fullback and halfback positions, where he ever gave a worthy exhibition. As a halfback in his Senior year, he soon rounded out into one of the best ball-toters in the State. Ever attentive and willing to follow instructions. Beckwith gave no trouble to his coaches. Powerful in build and ever in good physical condition, he was generally the key-man in the Musketeer offense, and the one who most delighted the spectators by his play. We might further add his friendly nature and clean play made him the friend, not only of his classmates and his companions, but of all who came in contact with him. In conclusion, we but say that players of Musketeer football teams of the future will tlo remarkably well if they are able to attain but some of the perfection in play that Beckwith exhibited. Page 152 Ofe MUSKETEER. Ch eer Lead ers Paul Desmond Ambrose Linuhohst A true boasted heritage of collegiate sportsdom is the cheer leader. In fact, no college game today is complete without these gaylv attired individuals who invite and incite the spectators to enjoy a certain active part in the game through organized cheering. This united ettort on the part ot the spectators has a purpose: to lend any possible moral encouragement to the players on the field. Furthermore, no one will deny the feeling of warmth, a tendency to friendliness, and unrealized unity amongst the spectators, not found at other games, that the college cheer leader effects. In this activity the Musketeers (of 1951-52 season) were well fortified during their sports campaigns. Paul Desmond, 52, Dayton, Ky., Ambrose Lindhorst, 52, Cincinnati, led the cheering squad. Voluminous indeed were the many yells they exhorted from the throats of thousands of the followers of the Musketeers . Immeasurable was the moral encouragement they brought to the boys playing for Alma Mater ; often, indeed, as players tell us, in closing quarters of an athletic game when they were tired and worn, the urgings of the spectators often served to urge them on to almost superhuman efforts. With the bright outlook for athletics at Xavier looming in the future, the intrinsic value of the cheer leader should become more in evidence. May the cheering corps of the coming years possess but the persistency of this group of yell leaders and they will reap in return from the spectators a like amount ot praise and success.

Student Managers The evident i-ise oi lootbnll during the last two decades of this twentieth century trom a campus pastime engaged in primarily for the sport ot the students and the entertainment of the alumni to a commercialized activity that is today deemed a necessary factor in develop- ment b ' most of the educational institutions throughout the country, has necessitated efficient organization and functioning of the athletic department. One of the units found necessary to the well being of college athletics is the department of Student Managers. They have but little or no share in the pageantry of the gridiron: rather they are the men behind the screens. In short, we can explain their position by saying that they serve as a contact point between the coaches or athletic heads and the players: serving also to some extent in this same capacity as regards the coaches and the public. The satis- fying of the players by doing every thing within their power to better the appearance and physical well being of these gladiators, plus co-operation and attentiveness to the athletic coaches, makes for satisfactory presentations to the audiences. The commendations of the Athletic Director and his aides regarding the work of this body this year was indeed very extraordinary and deserved. This year ' s staff tor football included three senior managers: John iMartin, ' 52, Cincinnati; Henry Aliller, ' 52, Newark, Ohio, and William Scanlon. ' 52, Cincinnati. Edward Nurre, ' 55, Cincinnati, and Roland Ryan, oZ, Cincinnati, were assistants.

WlLHELM McPhail Taylor TRANSYLVANIA In a veritable torrent of water that washed the stands and flooded the field, making it uncomfortable not onlv for the spectators, but also impossible for either ol the teams to exhibit any of the brilliancy which usually marks a football game, the Musketeer line gradually, as the game went on, forged its way through the lighter Transy linesmen for four touchdowns. Some forty members of the Musketeer squad were given a chance to waddle about in tlie mud on Corcoran Field. This game could hardly serve as a criterion of the true strength oi the ' 51 Xavier team, since they were unable to use any of their forward pass plays. Neither could the fleetness, agil- ity, nor shiftiness of the backfield men be determined, because of the treacherous footing. This was the seventh successive season that Transylvania served as the opening game opponent, and also the seventh successive win for the Musketeers over this Kentucky rival. p: , y BECKWITH CIRCLES END Pane 156 -yfCa MUSKETEER.

The Flyers, in whose possession this trophy has rested during the past two years by right of consecutive victories over Xavier, made a determined attempt to hold the Cup for another year by scoring in the opening minutes of the second quarter. But the brand of gridiron warfare shown in the second half by the AlusUeteers was in no way synonymous with or consolable to defeat, for they soon tied the score and were well on the way to a second touchdown when the final gun sounded.

This was an intersectional contest, and was, incidentally, the longest trip e er taken Ity a Xa -ier athletic team. Two points, registered in our favor early in the first quarter when one of the Wolf Pack ball carriers was tackled behind his own goal line, seemed, until almost the end of the contest, as though they would be a sufficient margin for a Alusketeer victory. But this was not to be. Two successive iorward passes hurled by the Loyola quarterback through the misty night air were successful and netted a touchdown in the final period. A Musketeer offense launched in this fourth quarter was seemingly unstoppable and determined to register in terms of a touchdown.

HASKELL Thanksgiving Dav, again brought to Corcoran Field our sturdiest and most colorful ol rivals, the Haskell Indians. Innumerable predictions and prophets heralded an easy victory, by virtue of their past record, for Rabbit Weller and his cohorts. And indeed the Indian attack of the first quarter of the game was deceptive and powerful, seemingly certain to often cross the Musketeer goal line ' ere the contest ended. In the second quarter, however, the Musketeers began to solve the Indian offense and successfully stopped the Redskin ballcarriers when scor- ing seemed inevitable. Thus ended the first halt without a score. Early in the third quarter, the Indian avalanche succeeded in scoring a touchdown. Dis- heartening indeed it was as the Indians by powerful advances started on their way down the field for a second touchdown. But that second Indian march came to an abrupt entling far from the goal, to the joy and contentment of the many thousand Xavier fans, by the in- terception of a Haskell forward pass, plus a brilliant run by the interceptor Mickey McPhail, and a brilliant display of blocking by the entire Musketeer team which netted a touchdown, evening the score. From then on the goddess of victory perched on the shoulders of the blue jerseyed Xavier boys. Launching an offense that was twice stopped within the shadows of the goalposts, the third assault in the final minutes of the game was successful and resulted in the secontl toiichdou ' n antl ictory tor the Musketeers.

Basketball Captains John Tracy Robert Sack y The success experienced In- Musketeer Basketball teams during the two seasons previous to the last season ot 1931-32 was due in a large part to the work ot two players, so iellow team- mates decided at the annual election last year. For Indeed they decided that Roliert Sack, ' 52, Cincinnati, forward and leading point scorer during the 20-3(1 and 50-31 seasons, and John Tracv, ' 32, Chicago, center, and ' ersatile offensi c star diirmg the same seasons, should lead the 31-32 Mus keteers on the harilwood as co-cajitams. Bobby Sack is perhaps the better known ol the two since he is a home grown product, having prepped at Xa ' ie Uni ' ersity Hi, where he was basketball captain. His ability in hitting the hoop was soon evidenced in college and he was elected Freshman basketball captain. The fact that he was generally the smallest man in stature on the lloor did not in the least handicap the playing of this curly-headed youth. In fact Bobby was comparatively one ot the smallest, yet outstanding, basketball players in the country. His record of points tallied bears sufficient e ' idence withtnit resorting to ' indicati e words. His lair play ami whole- hearted play on the basketball floor, plus his general cheerful nature antl personality about the camiTus will iiuleei.1 make him long remembered about the scho( l. John Tracy came down to Xavier from the Windy City, where he prepped at Loyola High Academy. In his days at Loyola, he was a football and baseball star as well as one of the most promising basketball stars ever developed at the school. Long and rangy, John ser ' ed as an excellent pi ' ot man in the Musketeer offense on the hartlwood. His uncanny ability to shoot for the basket from almost any position of the floor made him a hard man to guard. To his ckissmates and companions he is considered one of the quietest, yet one of the most interesting indn ' iduals on the campus. With such leaders as these it is no hard matter to account for the success experienced by the Musketeers tluring the past basketball season. Indeed, they ha -e set a standartl at which all future basketball aspirants may aim. Ma ' our basketball teams of the coming years never lack such leatlers as you ha e iiro ' etl -ourseK es to be.

FRANK MERCURIO Captain-Elect In sports it does not lollow that the man who always makes the most points is the most valuable man on the team, althou h generally undeservedly, it is he who gets the most pub- licity and praise. It is logical that all the men on a well balanced team cannot be the point scorers. The Xavier basketball team ot the 1951-52 season showed their ability to recognize individual worth when at the annual basketball banquet they elected Frank Mercurio, ' 35, Cin- cinnati, to lead the ' 52- ' 55 Musketeers. Alerk started his basketball career under the late Dan Savage at Xavier University High, where he was a regular guard tor two years. In football Alerk also was a star at Xavier High. During his iirst year on the Varsity squad Alerk , at the beginning ot the season, experienced some difliculty in breaking into the starting lineuji. But once having been given the opportunity, he soon proved his worth, and betore the end ot the season his team- mates lound it seemingly impossible to disloiige him. The brand ot basketball he e.xhibited during the past year was ever commendable and praiseworthy. The manner m which he stopped innumerable shots of the opjionents in mid air. might indeed make applicable to him the name ot the man ot a thousand arms . For indeed his arms seemed to come from nowhere to trustrate the enemy when goals seemed in- e itable. His alertness e er proved an asset to the team in jienetrating the various defenses ot the opposition. Off the hardwood, Alerk is an active lellow in school activities, a good mixer, and possesses a host ot triemls. With a feeling of coniidence in his ability, we most heartily wish to him and his tellow teammates of the coming ' 52- ' 55 season go od-luck and success. Page 169 Ofe MUSKETEER. Basketball WiLHELM Hl ' GHES Tracy y In past years, Xavier has been noted tor the high calibre ot its basketball teams. Blue clad quintets of tormer decades have astounded the sjiorting public bv startling leats ot stamina and prowess. Stars have come and gone, leaving their names carved in the golden niche reserved tor Musketeer athletic heroes. Despite this, it remained tor the season ot 1951-52 to turnish the greatest five ot them all and one that will be remembered at Xavier as long as the game itself exists. Faced by one ot the most ditTicult schedules ever arranged tor a Musketeer squad in anv sport, the team survived a series ot bad breaks to hand m the marvelous recortl ot ten victories and three deteats. Two ot the teams to gain an edge over Xavier were detected m later games at the Field House. This record was compiled in spite ot the tact that Bobby Sack, one ot the co-captains and high point scorers tor two years, withdrew trom school at the semester, break- ing up the smooth working, winning combination that Coach Aleyer had built up. Captain John Tracy kept the hoopmen together, however, and as soon as Jordan had gained the needed e.xperience, the team again clicked merrily along its devastating path. The Musketeer inaugurated the season by romping over Cedarville College to the tune of 56-12. With the high powered scoring combination of Sack and Tracy in action, goals were showered in trom all angles to the bewilderment of the up-staters. National spotlight was focused on the Big Blue in their next game, when they gained a well earned decision over the clever Carnegie Tech Tartans. The Pittsburgh quintet came to the Field House with an exceptional eari season record and were ta ' oreil to take the Musketeers with comparative ease. To the delight ot a large crowd. Sack and Tracy led their charges through a stubborn uphill battle that was climaxed when Kenny Ionian was inserted into the lineup and proceeded to run wild to tally seven points and put the tray on ice. The final score was 26-21. Following the Christmas holidays, the hoopsters returned to the wars with Centre College affording the opposition. The services of Sack were badly needed and the team played list- lessly in running up a 51-22 score on a team that they outclassed by thirty jiomts. The game was close until the waning minutes of the second halt, when Tracy and Mercuno slipped field goals through the net to place the Blue on top. The first road trip of the year ended disastrously tor Xavier. The team entrained for Michigan, where Michigan State and Detroit University were met on successive evenings. In the first game, the Alusketeers played a miserable first halt to trail 12-7. In the second period, they came to lite and outplayed and outscored the Spartans, only to be nosed out in the last tew second. The final score was 22-20. At Detroit, the team tell into a terrible slump which caused them to tlrop a contest to a club that simply was not in the same class PiU]e 170 CTfe MUSKETEER. Jordan Mekcurio ble was with the Musketeers. An overtime period was necessary for the Titans to eke out a 22-21 win. Everything went wrong for Xavier in this game and it may only be explained that it happened to be one of those very rare occasions when each man was off form, Bernie Wdhelm played well at Detroit, with Tracy and Corbett the shining lights at Michigan State. Back to the home court, the Blue netmen gave vent to their outraged feelings by administer- ing an unmerciful beating to the Dayton University Flyers. Every player had a field day, especially Dan Corbett, who scoretl thirteen points in the first half. The F lyers were una to score until late in the first halt, at one time the score standing at 22-0. The final score 46-12. The Washington and Lee Generals, members of the Southern Conference, were the next victims of the Xaverians. John Tracy placed the Musketeers in the lead early in the tilt and they held it all the way down to the final whistle. The score was 28-25. Tracy tallied sixteen points to lead all scorers. What may be considered at the highlight of the season, was the brilliant battle waged by the jMusketeers against Indiana University, one of the strong teams of the Western Conference. The Hoosiers. expecting little in the way of opposition, were surprised rutlely with the opening whistle, when Xavier hopped out into a lead of a few points. Their surprise turned to near panic when the Alusketeers clung tenaciously to the lead throughout the first half which ended 9-6. One of the greatest exhibitions ot smart ball playing was unfolded during the torridly contested second halt. The crowd went crazy as Indiana tied the score and the lead seesawed back and forth. With the score tied and twenty seconds remaining, an Indiana forward cut loose with a field goal to make the score 18-16. Xavier had no oppor- tunity to attempt a score as the timekeeper ' s gun ended activities for the evening. Revenge was the order of the day when the Titans of Detroit University met Xavier in a return game at the Field House. The visitors were soundly thumped and sent home with a 37-23 defeat tacked on them. lordan cut loose in one ot the most brilliant individual scoring rampages of the season ami dropped no less than nine field goals and a foul. The entire team played well in this sparkling effort. The annual game at the Dayton Coliseum pro ed to be more sad news for followers of the Dayton Fivers, as the Alusketecrs again crushed them this time by a 20-10 count. The team played sluggishly throughout the evening but their worst was still too good for the Flyers, who were never in the running. Corbett led the scoring with seven points. Two days later the Alumni threw a scare into the team and almost defeated them. The score was 25-23, with a last minute rally pulling the game out ot the fire. The Spartans of Michigan State met with the same fate as Detroit, when they faced the Musketeers for the second time. Xavier was set and prepared for them and in a systematic manner proceeded to administer a bitter, crushing defeat. State had defeated some of the best teams in the country, including the University ot Alichigan, but a determined blue clad Pa e 171 Ofe MUSKETEEI ■ - ■5 CORBETT li e plavetl flawless, dazzling basketball to completely snow them under a 31-24 score. Without a doubt, the Musketeers performed better in this tilt than in any other of the season and their efforts were rewarded with a well deserved victory. Kenny Jordan and John Tracy played well iind totalled most of Xa ier ' s points. The grand finale ot the year proved to bo one of the most interesting and thrilling battles ot all. Wittenberg College. Buckeye Conference nieml)ers and arch ri vals of Xavler in all sports, brought a very last quuitet to Cincinnati and lived up to advance reports by holding down scoring activities ot the Blue until the miildle of the last half when Mercurio sank two short shots to lengthen the scanty lead which Xavier held from the first half. Corbett added another and the game was sate. The final score was 26-21. Captain Tracy and Bernle Wilhelm closed their careers with the contest and both covered themselves with glory. Thus ended the most successful season ever enjoyed by a Xavier team on any field, floor or diamond. Many years will have passed before this record is ever equalled or surpassed. Prospects tor next year are very satisfactory. Coach Meyer will have Captain-elect Mercurio, Dan Corbett, Kenny Jordan, John Wiethe, Hal Pennington, Tommy Brannen, Jim Coleman and many sophomores, who are coming up. Another great record should be hung up with this array of talent available.

The first four are seniors and their absences «dl no doubt be felt ne. t spring. Glnocchlo is a junior and Moeller is a soph. Moeller is the only new member on the squad, the others having represented Xaxier on the courts before. The team is well balanced with only a shade of difference in ability being noticeable between the No. 1 man and the others. The schedule this year is rather difficult as the opponents also have veteran teams, but Xavler should at least breaU even in the matches .ind uph ild (he tennis laurels gained by those eminent tennis players a few years back, Tom and Bill Clines.

Xavler also will prob- ably be represented in the annual Ohio Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament held on the courts of Kenyon College, Gambler, Ohio. iMay they be successful. The 1952 Tennis Team has for its Captain, loe Scott of Covington, Kentucky, where his prowess on the clay courts is well known. Joe has had an abundance ot tennis experience and is one of these players who combines strategy and determination and skill to win. Many times Captain Scott has been seemingly beaten, but calling upon his reserve and aided by his confidence in himself, he has come from behind to win. His strokes are not brilliant, but steady and reliable; his service is not hard but always well ] laced and difficult to return; his net play is superb and perhaps better than that of any other member ot the team; in short he is a capable leader. foe has a veteran team to captain this year and, with the help ot a lair amount of breaks, he should enjoy a successful season on the courts for the third consecutive year as a Xa ' ier man.

Monty Farrell anil Joe Beckman. Only four of these men will be lost through graduation and Alusketeer tans are looking forward to a successful season ne.xt spring. The addition of a tew promising sophomores should su] ply the team with the necessary power to accomplish that. The baseball diamond at Corcoran Field was in excellent condition. The rough spots in the outfield had been smoothed out and the infield was in better shape than ever before. Paul Beckwith captained the iMusketeer liaseball team this season in a manner that demon- strated his talent for leadership and his ability to play ball. In his three years of play, Paul hit well over the 500 mark and could be relied upon in the pinches to come through with a hit. In his sophomore year he played the cniUield position; the following season foumi him at short- stop, and this year he played thiril base. Paul has proven himself to be a versatile player and won the atlmiration ol .ill who witnessetl his jierformances. Pac,e 180 yfra MUSKETEE . Baseball Squad V .i A ' ju — Brannen, Prieshoi ]•, Farrell, Hamilton, Kelly, Taylor. Second Roi — Coach Comello, Stadler, Reckman, Tracy, Beckwith. Third Row — Ewers, Phelan, McPhail, Steinka.mp, McDermott. The Musketeer Baseball team ol 1952 has not heen very successful in its engagements so far this season. The closing of the dormitory for twenty days, together with two weeks of inclement weather, delayed practice until just a few days before the opening game. To offset this disadvantage. Coach Tony Comello worked out his squad in the Field House. Due to its natural limitations the Field House offered little more than a place to limber up and get in condition. However, this did put the men in a position to begin real practice the first day out of doors. In the opening game of the season at Corcoran Field, Coach Tony Comello ' s team lo.st to Michigan State College by the score of 7 to 5. The Musketeers played good ball despite the fact that they had only a few days to prepare for this game. Indiana University proved just a little better than the iMusketeers and managed to take two in a row- from the Xavler team. In the first game the Hoosiers won by the score of 7 to 6. The ne.xt game went an e.xtra inning and Indiana again won out by one run, the score being 3 to 2. The pitching staff this year was better than in the past few seasons. John Hamilton, only veteran hurler of last year ' s squad, improved steadily during the season. Two sophomores, Farrell and Beckman, pitched good ball when called upon and with the e. perience of this year ' s play should hurl winning games for Xa ier in ' 5.3. Cancellation of two games with Dayton University, due to that school closing early, left a blank in Xavier ' s schedule between the Indiana games and the game with Miami University. The Oxford team left Corcoran Field with the Musketeers on the wrong end of a 7 to 6 score. The breaks of the game turned into defeat what should have been a a ier ictorv. Pane LSI Ikk MUSKETEER. BERNARD PHELAN, Intramural Director CTfe MUSKETEER. Intramural Athletics The schoListic vear oi 1951-3- marked oft the fifth season ol organized intramural activity. The difticLilties of schedule maUinii, organization of teams, promotion of interest and other factors which had been the chief obstacles in the formative years were easily surmounted bv Atliletic Director Joseph Meyer, and the capable director and assistants he appointed, namely, Bernard Phelan and Paul Beckwith. The absence of serious difViculties caused the directors to attempt the most extensive pro- gram of activities since the Introduction of intramural athletics; liowever, the enforced vaca- tion at Easter time interrupted the plans and the scarcity of time upon the students ' return caused the abandonment of two activities. Nevertheless, a most complete schedule of ac- ti ities resulted in the participation of almost 90 per cent of the student body in some form ot athletics during the year. A new activity, bowling, which made its initial bow this year, bids fair to rival basketball in undergraduate interest. Basketball, as usual, was the best represented sport in the curricu- lum and a season of close games and thrilling upsets was brought to a close the night of the W ' lttenberg-Xavier game when the Iroquois, Dorm League Champs, defeated the White Sox, Champs of the Day League, 21-17, in a hard-fought contest. The directors of the intramurals wish to thank all those who cooperated in the successful operation ot activities and particularly John Tracy and Frank Alercurio for their assistance m basketball, and Arnold Scully for his aid in the tennis meet. The winners in each sport will be awarded fitting emblems of their supremacy and the list of successful competitors to date is as follows: BASKETBALL The Iroquoiv — Chjrfipfon.
