' 7950 XAVIER UNIVERSITY CINCINNATI, OHIO VOL. XXIII CThe following statement was made by the Rev. Michael J. 0'Connor, S.J., president of St. Xavier College in 1900, to the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, with regard to the advent of the Twentieth Century.J PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, 1900 The dawning century! May it bring to humanity a measure of peace and happiness filled up and overflowing! May it be marked by clean, whole- some living of the individualsg by just and honor- able patriotism of citizens, by old-time uprightness and comity of nations! May the scope of the edu- cation universally sought for in our latter day be so directed that the marvelous increase of material wealth and resources, which the dying century leaves us, prove but new incentive to grateful homage to the Eternal King, who rules us lovingly, guards our interests tenderly, and so shapes the destinies of our land as to fill every American heart with exultation, as he meditates upon the splendid place among God's peoples evidently pre- pared for his country if it but cleave to the prin- ciples of truth, justice and fidelity to its God. ,, , 25' ta 7?

The mid-century year 1950 is a time fo looking through the past to 1900, and fo peering ahead through the as yet formless future to 2000. Balanced in the middle of a century, 1950 could well indicate what that future will bring. So it is that the Mid- Century Musketeer records the events of the year to indicate how assiduously the Xavier family has assimilated the lessons of the past in making the present a good preparation for a better future. Xavier's past is replete with more glory and traditions than any historian has yet ade- quately chronicled. In 1831, when the Athenaeum was founded, the Rev. James O. Van de Velde, S.J., later bishop of Chicago, called the buildings on Sycamore Street an imposing sight. After the Athenaeum had been turned over to the care of the Jesuit Fathers and renamed Saint Xavier College, a Pittsburgh newspaper commented in 1842: It is one of the most flourishing institutions for the education of youth in the western country and when its many advantages become more generally known it will be among the most popular colleges in the Union. On June 28, 1900, twenty students were graduated from the college at commencement exercises in the Grand Opera House. The opening of the Twentieth Century found Saint ST.

Its growth led to the move to the more adequate Evanston campus in 1920. In 1950, consolidation was taking place. The administration laid plans to keep Xavier a substantial force in the Cincinnati com- munity. This called for maintaining its high enrolhnent and enlarged curriculum, improv- ing physical facilities through a ten-step de- velopment program, and encouraging a faculty as alert as always to instill the principles of Christian living. , The year recorded in the Mid-Century Musketeer was one which undeniably ad- vanced the position of fthe University. The graduation rosters included the names of more than four hundred and fifty students, a far cry from the twenty who were awarded their diplomas fifty years earlier. The Mid- Century Musketeer records for all friends of Xavier, past, present, and future, the signi- ficant activities of 1949-50: academic, spiri- tual, co-curricular, and athletic. Some of the glory of Xavier's past is caught in the Mid-Century Musketeer in the words of alumni and others who have watched Xavier's work during the first half of the Twentieth Century. The spirit of the present CThe following statement was made by the Rev. James F' Maguire, S.-I., president of Xavier University, to The Mus- keteer, with regard to the approaching start of the second half of the Twentieth Centuryj PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, 1950 If we could be cynical about man, we would smile knowingly and shake our heads over Presi- dent O'Connor's message. How well We have shattered his dream with two of history's most destructive wars and untold human misery since the dawn of the Twentieth Century. American education has fed on the pragmatic and materialistic philosophers whose ideas brought men to turn the nation's resources to their own purposes and not to God's greater honor. As a result, the Twentieth Century has run up some staggering statistics about family break-downs, divorce rates, salacious enter- tainment, organized vice, and juvenile delinquency. Or was Father O'Connor wiser than would appear? I think so. He knew that cynicism about man in any century is an easy pose. He had faith in God and faith in the ultimate goodness of man. Those of this generation who hold, along with Father O'Connor, that the welfare of man hinges on the principles of truth, justice and fidelity to God, find encouragement as they look down the long vista of the years and see his bright torch of idealism burning aloft. As we place our new marker mid-century, our sights are still clearly, unshakably set on the goals of life that Father O'Connor sighted fifty years ago. We of the Twentieth Century still have time. There are still fifty years before us-to right our- selves, to purge ourselves of our sorry past by a new pledge to the ideals that flow from the Father- hood of God and the brotherhood of man. is evidenced in the comments of the seniors on what four years at Xavier has meant to them. The past and the'present speak re- assuringly for the future XAVIER UNIVERSITY, 20007 XAVIER UNIVERSITY, 1950 jfigufe , , I Rev. Michael I. O'Connor, S.-I. Rev. Albert A. Dierckes, S.j. Rev.

C1930-19345 ' C1934-19405 C1940-19492 To Xavier's past and the men who made it a stimulating example, the Musketeer pays tribute. The nine presidents who .guided the 'fortunes of the University during the first half of the Twentieth Century exemplify Xavier's past. As priests, educators, administrators, friends ofthe students, 'ands patrons of athleticsthey represent all that the school has been. Their policies guided growth and consolidation. The ideals that they enriched during their adminis- trations are part of the living tradition of Xavier, a sturdy Jesuit university. I leabcafion The Mid-Century Musketeer is dedicated to the future of the Xavier family. The Very Rev. James F. Maguire, S.J., president of the University, will exercise a paternal spirit over the Xaverians entrusted to his care as priest and educator during the early years of the -second half of the century beginning after 1950. That future necessarily includes continued contribu- tions to Cincinnati, to the nation, and to the world by the Xavier family in the spirit of President Maguire and the Society of Jesus, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. we pad! i Q 'I ' jj 5 I K fi? 1 , .. qq.uE,2.

Each building is associated particularly with some phase of university life. Science Hall, constructed in 1920, is the location of Xavier's administrative offices. The physical sciences building planned for the future would make it possible to remove the chemistry laboratories from Science Hall and use these rooms for other purposes. 2 9 O I F155 A ,:,s a 333- L SCIENCE HALL PLANNED PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION SCIENCES BUILDING 7950 SCIENCE HALL 0 0 b N . w KL ' 1: LA, r N, F j zgysf J'-f W my , D MSA mah I H 3 5 f ,Q M fi fm, V 'www ,Q M A K , ' gag- 0,-5.311 ,W 'rx 3W5Wf'i ,r.f-YT 41 W- .W i?,,,,f. 4,45 1 WBHMQ , MQ M - 1 .ms fi, W ig: ,ggi ENN ,532 2 ., .. why, M , fy- My V ff -fm ' 7?

His solicitude for the flock entrusted to his care was evidenced in many ways, but in a very particular manner in his interest in education as a training grounds for militant Catholics. He was a true friend of Xavier University. Requiescat in pace. en iam Xavier's mid-century senior class gathered in Albers Hall for its regular meetings under the guidance of John Hiltz, president. There they considered what their senior class gift would be, to enhance the beauty of the school.

Not only were most of them active in the numerous clubs to which they as indi- viduals belonged, but as a group they were called upon for the planning of the majority of the most important student affairs of the year. Practically every important student activity was planned, sponsored, or handled in some manner by the Council. The formal and in- formal dances, Homecoming, the fiery pep rallies before football and basketball games, the victory rallies, the student elections, and portions of the convocations were just a few of the Council's activities. As the representatives of the student body on school issues, the members had the diffi- cult assignment of pleasing all and antagoniz- ing none. A near impossibility, this goal was none the less achieved during most of the year, bringing harmony to the various student relationships. Council went through its first full year under the new constitution adopted in May, 1949, which provided for the right of referen- dum and, by a system of class meetings, afforded students an opportunity to voice their opinions about campus affairs. Meetings of the council were also open to all students for this purpose. Under the new constitution, Council's activi- ties were channeled into four boards, or standing committees, which made recom- mendations and suggestions to Council con- cerning legislation. These committees were the Social Committee, the Student Athletic Board, the Judicial Board, and the Campus Committee. Officers of the Student Council underwent a number of changes because of the January graduations. During the first semester the officers were James Charles, president, james McGann, secretary, john Stechschulte, trea- surer, Robert Robish, chairman of the Social Committee, Thomas McDermott, chief justice of the Judicial Board, john O'Leary, presi- dent of the Campus Committee, and Robert Drennan, chairman of the Student Athletic Board. During the second semester, new officers were John Glaser, president, Benjamin Allen, chairman of the Student Athletic Board, and Edward Nock, president of the Campus Com- mittee. Four years at Xavier have brought for me a new understanding of fellowship and life. V ' Robert Buse, '50 Bottom Row: Lauschke, Jacobs, 0'Leary, Nock, Zain, Lyons.

The Committee was organized in Septem- ber, 1947, to further the religious, intellectual, athletic, and social Welfare of the resident students. To further these aims during 1949-50, the Committee sponsored talks by prominent men in a number of different fields of endeavor, Weekly movies in South Hall, parties, smokers, dances, intramural sports, and other activities. The Committee aided the Dads Club in the work of renovating the snack bar in South Hall by installing knotty pine walls, a soda counter, and a television set. A strong influence was exercised by the Committee in the religious and intellectual life of the dormitory students. Daily Com- munion, daily recitation of the Rosary, and other habits of prayer were encouraged. During Lent the students were urged to ommiffee attend evening services in Bellarmine Chapel and in the chapels of Marion and Elet Halls. The Campus Committee, made up of repre- sentatives from each floor of Elet and Marion Halls, together with one student from each of the other dormitories, can be defined as a council within Student Council. In reality, though, the group has been more independent than the definition suggests. Since the time that the Student Council amended its constitution to allow the dorm council to make plans Without submitting their proposals for Council approval, the Campus Committeemen have been able to do more than ever for the out-of-town stu- dents. Officers of the Campus Committee were Edward Nock, president during the second semester, and john O'Leary, president, first semester, Robert Popp, secretary, Thomas Jacobs, treasurer, and Ferris Zain, judge advocate. The Rev. Lester Linz, S.-I., was advisor. lifter spending five years at Xavier, it has become to me the embodiment of the true basis oof'American' education. Xavier .gives equal opportunity to all to prepare themselves for their roles at the head, not in the pack, of humanity in their struggles through this material world and int their ascent to the eternal 1ife.

Meetings were addressed by speakers with up-to-date information on job opportunities, changes in industry, and other developments in the business world. The Club thereby offered many chances to the students of economics to meet and discuss current condi- tions in their field not only among themselves but also with prominent men in business and industry. Activity during the first semester centered on job placement considerations. Speakers prominent in vocational guidance and per- sonnel work addressed the club, outlining the procedures for procuring positions. Members gained valuable information, also, on what employers expect of college graduates. The second semester was devoted to a scrutiny of the problems of business and labor. Speakers from Washington and Cin- cinnati stimulated the interest of the club members in such phases of economics as labor relations, administration, and govern- mental influence on business. Officers were James Beatty, president, Bernard Loechtenfeldt, vic e-president g Francis Jacobs, secretary, and Michael Byrnes, trea- surer. Mr. Edward Murray was faculty con- sultant. CAM. CM The game that is countless decades old, that challenges the greatest of intellects to master its gambits, castles, and other moves, and that is noted for its extended character, found its loyal adherents at Xavier, as at other institutions of learning. The lure of the chess board brought to- gether a group of enthusiasts devoted to the science of logic and the art of patience. Xavier's Chess Club competed in the Mid- western Intercollegiate League, meeting such teams as Ohio State University, the Uni- versity of Cincinnati, the University of Ken- tucky, and the L. B. Harrison Club. , Myrtean11nates at Xavier have been swell. They really have that Musketeer spirit-one for all and all for one.

Members who staffed the bureau spoke before Catholic audiences on such topics as The Meaning of Fatima, The Duties of Capital and Labor, and What Is a just Strike? The society participated in the Buckeye Debate Tournament, the Purdue Invitational Tournament, the Wittenberg tour, and the regional debate tournament of the National Federation of Catholic College Students, in which it placed second. Individual debates also were held with a number of colleges and universities. Officers of the society were Paul O'Brien, president, Jerome Conrey, vice-president, William Parsley, recording secretary, Thomas McCoy, treasurer, Arthur Reid, correspond- ing secretary, and Lavrence Kane, chairman of debates.

The Bible, the Greek philosophers, St. Thomas Aquinas, and contemporary Catholic authors furnished the material for the dis- cussions of the members, whose interest was in penetrating more thoroughly to the truths of the great works relating to the Christian heritage. Not content merely with knowing the finest thought in Catholicism, the Trads carried on with renewed vigor their program of leading the hourl recitation of the Rosary in Bellar y -u mine Chapel, in conjunction with the Sodality.

Mo Ogg The high appreciation and enjoyment of biology experienced by the students in this field of science led to the establishment of the Biology Club in 1933, at which time it was devoted to sponsoring original investigation in the science. The club established one of the finest publications on the campus, the Xavier Science Bulletin, which carried in newspaper style the results of experimental researches made in biology by members of the club. The meetings of the group were not spent entirely upon formal lectures on various aspects of biology, however, but branched out to more informal discussions of various phases agnfernafiona Interested in the sweep of current world affairs and the contributions of the mid- century year 1950 to the ever-growing history of the earth, the International Relations Club conducted a full program of lectures and forums during the school year. m Row: King, Hiltz, Wobbe, Barron, Walsh.

Under the direction of the Rev. Joseph Peters, SJ., the members who origin- ally formed the Biology Club have been en- rolled in a Biology Seminar Course, which offers an opportunity to do research that otherwise might be neglected. Students receive credit for the course, and each man must prepare research papers to be read before the group. These men, chiefly juniors and seniors, have enjoyed notable success in the accomplishment of the aims of the original Biology Club. mfafionfi Mr. J.

Hessler, foreign analyst of the Cincinnati Enquirer and observer on the WLW World Front radio program, were two prominent speakers who addressed the IRC members on the con- temporary world picture. The Xavier club itself was instrumental in establishing a Regional International Rela- tions Commission in the National Federation of Catholic College Students, linking all such groups in the Cincinnati region.

Since the first Sodality was established by the Society of jesus in the Sixteenth Century, its primary purpose has been to foster devo- tion to the Mother of God and through her to her Divine Son. To Jesus, through Mary has been a Sodality watchword. The increased information on the appear- ances of the Blessed Virgin at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, has led in recent years to greater appreciation of the seriousness of the message which the Queen of Peace brought to the three small shepherd children during World War I. During the past year, the Sodality con- tributed in a number of ways to spreading knowledge of these apparitions and advocat- ing devotion to her who appeared. Displays of literature on Fatima, the hourly Rosary in Bellarmine chapel sponsored jointly with the Traditionists, and the annual May Day cele- bration were some of the particular ways in which this was done. But throughout all of its activities was the spirit of Our Lady. This was especially noticeable in the new Sodality newspaper, the Morning Star, which made its initial appearance during the year, announcing the Sodality program and pro- moting other religious activities. During the Christmas season, baskets of food were purchased and distributed to the poor throughout the city of Cincinnati. During Lent, a drive was conducted to gather Catholic magazines to be sent to India to combat com- munistic propaganda being disseminated there. The Sodality sponsored Victory Masses be- fore the important football a11d basketball games, Masses for seriously ill students and for other intentions, and a Triduum for the Holy Father in honor of the Immaculate Conception. Meetings were held weekly, and Com- munion Masses and breakfasts monthly. After each meeting there was group recitation of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin. The Sodality worked in conjunction with the national and regional Decent Literature, Liturgy, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, and Mariology Commissions of the National Federation of Catholic College Students. Officers were Robert Marquard, prefect, Herman Zimmermann, assistant prefect, Clar- ence Sadtler, secretary, and Robert Griffin, treasurer. The Rev. Frank Dietz, S. J., was spiritual director of the organization. Whether on the gridiron or in the classroom the Xavier spirit is evident . . . to give it all'you've got and trust in God.

A student activity in itself, the News main- tained close contact with every other school function, on or off campus, undergraduate, faculty, or alumni. In addition to its coverage of all subjects pertaining to Xavier, the News also gave its full support to every Catholic idea which would benefit from the support of a Catholic university publication. Students, alumni, and friends of the Uni- versity who were regular readers of the News recognized in its many departments a standard of excellence which often approached pro- fessional polish. As the end of each week neared, it became a custom for the students to look forward to the appearance of their newspaper. Comprehensive coverage, accurate report- ing, and interesting presentation have char- acterized the News since its first issue in 1916 as the Xaverian News. During 1949-50 the staff worked to uphold this tradition, and accomplished a number of improvements, particularly in makeup. Prob- ably the most striking feature of the News was its wide range of coverage. The weekly edition kept the Xavier readers informed on every phase of life on the Evanston and the Downtown campuses, on the doings of the alumni, and of other activities of interest to the student body.. As a student publication written and edited by students, many of whom came to it with aspirations of making the field of journalism their careers, the News served as a labora- tory and a proving ground for future gentle- men of the press. Once again the News served as the head- quarters for the Jesuit College Newspaper Association, furnishing news releases and picture material to more than twenty-five Jesuit educational institutions in the United States. The Association was under the direc- tion of W. Timothy Dowd, and Jerry Halloran was its business manager. The guiding staff of the News for the first semester consisted of Louis A. Bunning, editor, Jerry Halloran, business manager, W. Timothy Dowd, managing editor, James Keefe, sports editor, Lawrence Barker, Even- i11g College editor, Stanley Keller, chief photo- grapher, and Thomas Gallagher and Fred Newbill, associate editors. Daniel Schwert- man was named an associate editor for the second semester, and Donald Darbro took over the duties of chief photographer. Tom Gray served as cartoonist, the Rev. Victor C. Stechschulte, SJ., was editorial advisor, and Mr. Joseph Link, Jr., was faculty advisor.

They have brought with them a strong desire for learning and an equally vigorous pride in the best traditions of their homeland. It was only natural that a representative group of these Southern gentle- men should organize within the University a club that would identify them with their background. So the Louisville Club came into existence. Although the present Louisville Club is a young one on campus, the tradition behind it goes back to the time when the name of Xavier as an educational institution was new in Cincinnati. Early records of the University show that more than a century ago young men from the Louisville area traveled up the Ohio River to enroll at the school in the Queen City which had only recently been taken over and staffed by the Jesuits and had been changed in name from the Athe- naeum to Saint Xavier College. Officers of the Louisville Club during the first semester were Paul Thiemann, presi- dent, John Lechleiter, vice-president, Leo Droppelman, treasurer, and Robert Bronner, secretary. Second semester officers were John Lechleiter, president, Robert Bronner, vice-presidentg Chester Weis, secretary, and Lawrence Link, treasurer. lgkikdolokg Free discussion in round-table gatherings featured the meetings of the Philosophical Society during 1949-50.

The relationships of the two sciences are so close and so many that it was only natural that such a club should be formed. So it was that the club was first organized in the autumn of 1941, and has since grown in number of members and in strength of prestige. Prominent speakers addressed the group on subjects in their field, and enhanced their talks in many instances with practical demon- strations. Among these speakers were Dr. Robert A. Staniforth, director of research at the Atomic Energy Commission's Mound Laboratory, Miamisburg, Ohio, who spoke on The Development of Atomic Theory, Mr. Eugene Cordier, industrial physicist with the Ohio Department of Health, who talked on The Detection of Radiation Hazards in In- dustry, Mr. james Shea, chemist with the Battelle Research Institute, Mr. John Hart of the Mathematics Department, who dis- cussed The Atom, and the Rev. Victor C. Stechschulte, S.j., of the Physics Depart- ment, whose subject was Exploring the Earth. The society participated in many campus activities, notably the Homecoming celebra- tion, and held numerous meetings with other organizations. The group sponsored an annual dinner, a dance, and other social events. Officers of the club were Harry Hoerr, president, Thomas johnson, vice-president, Robert Hanson, secretary, and John Mc- Devitt and john O'Conne1l, directors. The Rev. Victor C. Stechschulte, SJ., was faculty advisor. laani:iA Los Caballeros de Javier, more commonly known as the Spanish Club, directed its pro- gram toward the Club's goal of a true under- standing of the culture and language of the Spanish-speaking countries. A highlight of the year was the Inter- national Night assembly. Over a hundred students heard the presidents of language clubs from four schools give talks in the languages they were studying. Mr. C. Glynn Fraser of the Xavier faculty spoke on the meaning of internationalism.

O Ai O if I if I L Q The tenth anniversary year of the founding of the ,Cincinnati Region of the National Federation of Catholic College Students was a notable one for Xavier, for the region, and for the national organization. Xavier held the regional press and the regional forensic commissions. The press commission established the first permanent regional filing system, published a monthly newsletter, and set up a publications office and record files for co-operating Xavier clubs. The forensic commission sponsored a debate tournament and presented a trophy to the winner, Our Lady of Cincinnati College. Other activities were the decent literature drive, annual May Day ceremonies, and the Holy Year Travel Program. Xavier's regional officers were John Vogel, vice-president and chairman of the Overseas Service Program, Jerome Conrey, chairman, forensic commission, John Brosnan, chair- man, press commission, Carl Englert, chair- man, Holy Year Travel Program, and Tom Lyons, publicity director. Jerome Conrey was senior delegate to the regional council, Lawrence Kane, jr., junior delegate, Robert Marquard, alternate, Kevin Gallagher, chairman, decent literature drive, and james Ryan, chairman, Overseas Service Program.

December marked the opening of the first full hour Saturday television show over WCPO-TV, Channel 7, in Cincinnati. The show was an immediate success, with Jerry Thole and his campus orchestra., the Four- Get-Me-Nots, and an array of campus talent not only from Xavier, but also from the Uni- versity of Dayton, Our Lady of Cincinnati College, the University of Cincinnati, Villa Madonna College, the Schuster-Martin School, Mount Saint Joseph College, the College of Music, and the Conservatory of Music. The show featured music, skits, dramatic presentations, interviews with celebrities, campus news and sportcasts, and comedy acts. Listener ratings and fan mail evidenced that the show was well received throughout southern Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. More than two hundred fifty students took part in the production of the show during the course of the season, and thereby gained valuable experience in television and radio Work. Walter Vester and Eugene Friedrnann handled much of the writing and directing of the shows. Mr. Joseph F. Link, jr., was faculty director and organist for the series.

Kkicago The Chicago Club was founded by Xavier students from the Windy City who believed that Horace Greeley had their home town in mind when he advised a protege, Go west, young man! At least, the members of the club are unanimous in trying to convince their fellow students from other cities that the big city on the shores of Lake Michigan is a Wonderful place to live. Similar to the other clubs formed by stu- dents from the cities which have sent large representations to Xavier for their education, the Chicago Club had as its purpose the aim to preserve among its members a warm spirit of comradeship through a common attachment for their home town. This spirit was kept alive by regular meetings of the group and by a varied social program, in which members and their friends participated. The club was founded in 1947 in the con- viction that the present students from Chicago can add to the records of alumni from that city who have achieved success in their chosen fields. During 1949-50 it attempted to strengthen the support of the students for the Xavier Alumni Club of Chicago. The club members elected John Wall presi- dent, Edward Cross, Vice-president, and Robert Dean, secretary-treasurer. The Rev. Paul O'Co1mor, S.J., dean of the Liberal Arts College, a native Chicagoan, served as moderator. Efforts of the Xavier Chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, Jesuit honor society, were cen- tered in the mid-century year upon reviving among alumni members the interest which had suffered a wartime hiatus. Alpha Sigma Nu gives recognition each year to seven upperclassmen who gain dis- tinction in scholarship, service, and loyalty to the school. It is an honor society established in the Jesuit colleges of the United States, aimed at banding together for life those men who seem to understand and best appreciate the ideals of Jesuit education. The Xavier Chapter is the modern counterpart of the Pi Alpha Mu Society formed at Xavier in 1926. In 1939, it replaced the Xavier honor society, Pro Ahna Matre. One of the primary purposes of Alpha Sigma Nu is the promotion of all of the activities of the school, not only as a group but also through the membership of those who form its ranks in other campus organizations. Appointments to the society are made by the President of the University, upon the recommendation of the members and the faculty. Presiding officer of Alpha Sigma Nu was Charles Hogan. The Rev. Paul J. O'Connor, S.J., was faculty consultant. The high ideals of athletic and acadeniic competition have made an easy task of following and absorb- ing the Xavier way of life.

Imaginative planning kept them eager for each succeeding meeting and for the other affairs held by the Club during the year. Programs of German folk music sung by the club's choral group were high points of the meetings. The annual Father-Son night proved suc- cessful again, and the Club sponsored several dances and a Christmas party to round out its social program. For the second year, the group entered a float in the Homecoming contest in November. In collaboration with the German Club of Our Lady of Cincinnati College, the Heidel- berg Club staged a one-act play in German. Members who took principal roles in Ei11 Amerikanisches Duell by Gustave von Moser were Paul Pahnisano, Philip Remmel, and Tom Way. The play was part of the Christmas party, which also included a reading of the Christmas gospel of St. Luke in German by Leroy Springman. Also on the group's schedule were joint meetings with the German clubs of other schools in the Cincinnati area, an Easter play, and the showing of German movies. Officers of the Club were Leroy Springman, president, Vincent Oliverio, vice-president, Ralph Feldhake, secretary, and Charles Ching, treasurer. Mr. Joseph E. Bourgeois was faculty advisor.

In addition to its regular meetings, at which students explored the problem of how to make marriages happy, the club carried on an increasing scope of outside activities. Xavier students who served as officers were Paul Bluemle, president, Vincent Dougherty, secretary, Jerome Wagner, discussion com- mittee chairmang and Betty Jane Griese, pre- Cana conference committee chairman.

One of the highlights of the club's year was the scheduling of a regional meeting of the eight colleges and universities in the Cin- cinnati area which hold affiliations with this scientific organization. In carrying out their search for greater knowledge in the field of chemistry, the club members toured the Procter and Gamble plant and the Burger Brewery, learning from the chemists and engineers there more about the controlled chemical processes necessary for the making of soap and beer. It was natural that a fellowship should spring from their mutual devotion to the chemical science, and this spirit manifested itself in the annual banquet held at the Mariemont Inn and the initiation of new members from the ranks of upperclassmen majoring in chemistry. Deserved honor was paid the club when it was awarded the second annual trophy for the winning float in the homecoming festivities at the Kentucky game November 5.

The story of an average American family of an earlier era was acted with the polish and naturalness of experienced professionals. The Society gave a lifelike semblance to the story of a typical American boy and his problems in growing up. The performance was one of a long-life of successes stretching back to the first produc- tion of the Three Arts Club 26 years ago. Theater had its beginning at Xavier on March 1, 1924, when the Three Arts Club presented Sir Arthur Sullivan's operetta Cox and Box at the Odeon of the College of Music. The following year, the name was changed to the Masque Society and the group launched into the field of dramatic presentations which has dominated its program since that time. Notable successes were scored over the years with The Merchant of Venice, The Comedy of Errors, Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, The Rivals, Samarkand, The First Legion, Father Malachy's Miracle, Whistling in the Dark, Libel, and Murder in the Cathe- dral. During the 1948-49 season, a new director, a new stage, and a revitalized club were re- sponsible for the first on-campus, extended- run productions in the illustrious history of the Masquers. Presented during the Silver Anniversary year were Maxwell Anderson's Mary of Scotland and Jean and Walter Kerr's Song of Bernadette. Through their efforts, the Masquers gained complimentary reviews in papers even outside the Cincinnati area, as well as the plaudits of the Queen City Press. Presenting theater in the true Catholic tradition of drama, the Society offered a chance for experience not only to young actors and actresses of the Evanston and Downtown campuses, but also to the amateur student technicians who are necessary backstage in any dramatic production. The Society's annual productions again offered an outlet for student talent in staging, lighting, management, promotion, costuming, makeup, and the other theater arts. For the benefit of many of the aspiring actors in its ranks, the Masque presented an evening of one-act plays during the winter season. Directors were chosen from among students taking courses in drama and the theater, and they were permitted to select their own play scenes, cast them, and perform all the duties of director. The result was laurels for the student-directors, applause for the better actors, and valuable experience for all. Officers of the Masque Society were Louis Bunning, president, Barbara Dilworth, vice- presidentg and Susan Fischer, secretary. Faculty director was Mr. Victor Dial, Mr. Glenn Goetz was technical advisor. My days at Xavier have been full ones. Much of my extra-curricular time Was spent in the Band.

JUQLFLJ gig The lure of the opportunity to talk about old times in the old home town proved fatal to the students from Cleveland attending Xavier during the year, and they decided to organize another of the city clubs at the university. Little more of a motive for organization was needed than the simple fact that the students from the Cleveland area desired the comrade- ship and fellowship possible only with those who hail from a familiar area. The awareness of their presence at the university was a con- siderable morale builder to the members, since they were able to recall the names of many others who came to Xavier from their home town and who distinguished themselves in one way or another. The antics of a Cleveland Indians' baseball fan who declared that he would remain perched atop a flagpole until the baseball team regained first place in the American League pennant race resulted in the Cleveland Club's acquisition of the nickname of the Flagpole Sitters, but their program was more serious than this jocular reference might imply. To help them carry out their first full year's program, the Cleveland Club members chose as officers Robert janca, president, Edward Kawana, vice-president, Robert Mar- quard, secretary, and Thomas Lautermilch, treasurer, and under their direction, the club enjoyed a highly successful inaugural year. CAQQPLQCJQP6 During the 1949-50 athletic season, Xavier was fortunate in having a small but very efficient band of cheerleaders. This sideline team became as familiar as the figures on the gridiron or those on the basketball court. just like the other teams, the cheerleaders de- veloped many new formations, using them at home or on the campuses of opposing uni- versities. From this small, well-organized band of spirit provokers resulted the unified cheering of the student section that demonstrated the support of the fans to the teams. This unity was particularly noticeable in the football and basketball games played against Xavier's archrival in sports, the University of Cin- cinnati, as well as in the basketball tilts with The past four years of study and play at Xavier have fulfilled all the dreams I had when I chose GX H ' as my school.

Q-T 8I'LCA Although Xavier has always offered many opportunities to undergraduates to increase their knowledge of foreign languages in the classroom, not until this year was a French Club formally established. Significantly, the official name of the club was chosen to be L'Equipe-the team. The title in French sug- gests not only an organized group working toward a common goal, but also the tradi- tional spirit of Xavier men: One for all, and all for one! The club held its meetings bi-monthly, dis- cussing the language, customs, and culture of the French people. Talks by student speakers were supplemented by French films. One of the highlights of the c1ub's year was the announcement of the establishment of an award to be given annually to the student who is most outstanding in advancing the French culture and language at Xavier. To be eligible for the award, a student must also have a qualifying mark in his French courses. The sponsor of the prize is M. Pierre Quedenet, Conseiller Cultural Adjoint, Service du Con- seiller Cultural, New York.

A switch from bi-monthly to weekly meet- ings permitted more frequent reading of the original literary compositions of the members.

The second objective in- volved a difficult decision, since it meant leaving out of the book itself the graduation ceremonies and all those other events which took place after March 15. Popular opinion seemed to favor a May issue date, however, so the staff set about its Work with this dead- line in view. Half a dozen suggested themes were sifted, and the idea of a Mid-Century Musketeer was finally decided upon in November, by which time the preliminary outline of the book had been made. November and December were spent in gathering material for the theme and working out schedules for the multitude of pictures to be taken for the annual. After Christmas, the seniors began sitting for their pictures, and the heaviest work on the book began. Activity pictures were taken in January, and those of the undergraduates in February. In the meantime the task of assembling information Was progressing, and culminated in the final writing job late in February. March was spent in editing and layout Work, as the copy poured in and the pictures were returned as engravings. After that, the book was in the hands of the printers. The staff was composed of Paul Bluemle, editor, and Robert Buse, John E. Davis, Donald Esper, james Glenn, jr., and jerry Weber. Dr. Charles F. Wheeler and Mr. Bernard L. Martin served as faculty advisors.

Uardify X When discussion is held on the past, present, or future greatness of a university, the conversation naturally tends to turn to- ward sports. The athletic teams are before the public eye perhaps more than is any other group within the school. The public is in- clined to look upon their prowess and spirit as indicative of the school as a Whole. For this reason, it is imperative that those men of the university who engage in inter- collegiate competition possess the qualities of leadership, comradeship, and sportsmanship which are essential to a pleasing athletic exhibition. Their actions represent their school, and almost always their actions have a direct bearing on the school. The Varsity X Club of Xavier was founded in 1921 to foster and maintain the high ideal of athletic competition that goes into the earning of a varsity letter and to offer a means of preserving the friendships made on the fields of sports. , Members automatically enter the Graduate X Club upon graduation, and through it assist in sponsoring such events as the Homecoming and the annual Jamboree. This practice strengthens the good fellowship of the student years and gives the graduates in later years worthwhile opportunities to continue their friendships. The Varsity X Club is rich in the tradition of the past, in the glories of the present, and in the promise of the future. Meeting with it as members of the Graduate X Club are the athletes of yesteryear who have carried out in their lives the principles that were strengthened in their studies at Xavier-the same principles that made them great athletes. Whenever the Varsity X men of the present gather, there is bound to be talk of the might of the Xavier teams of today, as well as reference to the prospects for maintaining the athletic heritage of the school in the future. It is true that within a university there is a strong bond of comradeship, one that in many ways and in many organizations be- comes still stronger. Yet the most common and the strongest union exists among those in the Varsity X Club, for they are joined not only as members of this group, but also as teammates on the gridiron, on the hardwood, on the diamond, and in the other sports. The source of this united Strength lies in the habits of teamwork and the spirit of unity that are essential and that prevail in the life of the Xavier man who espouses One for all and all for one. This is the ideal to which the Varsity X Club owes its very existence. This is the ideal upon which the future athletes of Xavier can build greater teams and greater spirit, if that be possible. Officers of the club in 1949-50 were Arthur Morthorst, presidentg and John O'Leary, secretary. My years at Xavier have been happy ones. I leave the University with regret, yet confident that Xavier has prepared me to be a leader in the business world, and to maintain those precepts which I learned while in school.

Over a hookup of nearly four hundred Mutual Broadcasting System stations through- out the country, the Club presented a half- hour program of such favorites as Dry Bones and Xavier Chimes. The list of concert appearances of the Club was not limited to the high schools and colleges of Cincinnati and Northern Ken- tucky. Trips to Louisville, where three per- formances were given, and to various Ohio cities were part of the season's schedule. For many residents of these cities, the Club's appearance was the only opportunity during the year to hear, in person, a well-organized choral group. The Clef Club was formally organized in November, 1926, with a membership of forty. Its first director was the celebrated Welsh tenor, Mr. David Davis. The Club made its first radio broadcasts that year over Stations WSAI and WKRC. Its first accompanist was Mr. Eugene Perazzo, who has since become widely known as an organizer and musical director for Station WLW and the National Broadcasting Company. The first faculty moderators were the Rev. john F. Walsh, S.J., and Mr. john King Mussio, instructor in English, who is now the Most Rev. john King Mussio, Bishop of Steubenville. On the eve of its twenty-fifth anniversary, the club boasted sixty members, under the direction of Mr. Franklin Bens, noted Cin- cinnati choir master and Professor of Vocal Music at the Conservatory of Music. The club has always worked as a single, well-organized unit, but standouts as soloists during the year were Edward Hess, pianist, Donald Steltenkamp, baritone, and Vincent Welsh, tenor. A quartet, the Four-Get-Me- Nots, gave excellent barbershop renditions of old songs and appeared independently before many assemblies and on the Xavier Presents television show. Members of the quartet are John Kyne, C. Gerard Keefe, Joseph Vor- mohr, and Frank Kurleman. Officers of the club were Edward Vetter, president, Robert E. McMahon, vice-presi- dent, Thomas Murray, treasurer, C. Gerard Keefe, secretary, Gene Driscoll, business manager, Robert Huber, assistant business manager, Donald Steltenkamp, librarian, and james Wood, assistant librarian. The Rev. john V. Usher, SJ., was faculty advisor. I feel that the time I spent at Xavier was the best possible investment I could have made in my future.

Organized in October, 1949, the Club brought together Xavier men from the states of the Eastern seaboard, including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Con- necticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia. Since it was still in the formative stage, it was only natural that the club should look more to the future than to the past, and for this reason its members felt that it could contribute a great deal to the future of Xavier. The organizers proposed to bring together a fraternal group of Xavier men from the Eastern states for promoting the name of the university in that area, as well as for enjoying the companionship of fellow students who also were distant from their homes. Plans for the future include the building of an alumni association in the East, similar to those which already exist in such Xavier strongholds as Louisville, Chicago, and the other cities which long have sent a large quota of students to the Evanston campus. This alumni association, it is planned, will sponsor an annual reunion, probably in New York City during the summer months, to bring together the old grads from that section of the country for some reminiscing and for some of the good fellowship they enjoyed during their college days. One of the most important aspects of the Club, the members hope, will be the estab- lishment of contact between present Xavier students from the East who are about to be graduated, and alumni in the East who are in a position to acquaint them with job op- gaafern .Staci ffl! portunities and openings in their home area. Already, the Eastern States Club has sent out queries to some eighty alumni in the East concerning job opportunities, and has received many favorable replies which indicate a good response among the alumni to this program. In this endeavor, the club has received the co-operation of the Xavier Alumni Association, as well as the university public relations office. Although its main program is necessarily projected for future years, the club was not lax in carrying out an adequate schedule of events for its members during its first year of operation on the Xavier campus. It joined heartily in the regularly scheduled school events, such as the Homecoming festivities. It contributed one of the outstanding floats in the parade. This float depicted Digger O'Kluska, mortician to the teams which Xavier buried during its successful gridiron season. The regular monthly meetings of the group were primarily concerned with drawing up plans for its future program among the alumni of the East, watching sports movies, and partaking of refreshments. The Club conducted a successful pre- Christmas party, and made Sports Night in South Hall one of its outstanding meetings of the year. Its spring program emphasized picnics and inter-club athletic rivalry. Officers of the Club were Thomas Mar- caccio, presidentg Emmanuel Bruton, vice- presidentg Peter Lerario, secretaryg and John Dean, treasurer. Mr. john Sullivan served as faculty director. Xavier's steadfast unyielding to the pragmatism which dominates American education today has pro- vided me with a solid background which will doubtless be of invaluable aid throughout life.

Perhaps it was the penetrating trumpets of the Musketeer Band that captivated the interest of some of the Xavier followersg or it may have been the rhythmic beat of the drums intermingled with the after-beat notes of the basses and horns which Won the favor of another part of the grandstand. There were those Musketeer supporters, too, who found themselves allured by the intricate saxophone and clarinet runs, backed up by the resonant counter melodies of the trom- bones, and 'complemented with the keen harmony of the flutes. Many fans were attracted by the novel marching band arrangements of current hit songs and their exploitation with supplemental props, under the supervision of Norbert Allgeyer, during the half-time shows. Con- siderable comment of a highly favorable nature was brought about by the contrivances of drum major Harry Buttlewerth, who, with his diminutive sister, Donna, and a capable staff of twirlers, often walked away with the show While performing the apparently im- possible with his gleaming batons. But whatever the prime point of interest may have been, the Mid-Century Music Makers as a unit established new marks in the field of entertainment during the course of the year. The membership was lower than that of the previous year, and many of the musicians who reported at the beginning of the school year were unacquainted with the style of the Xavier Band, but the painstaking efforts of the director, together with the en- deavor of the bandsmen themselves, produced a decided improvement in the quality of music presented for the adherents of Musketeer activities. Playing for all the home football games, both varsity and frosh, the men of the end zone also made two road trips to mai11tain the The various phases of study and co-curricular activities at Xavier have strengthened my deep appreciation of a Jesuit education. Walter Whalen, '50 high spirit displayed among the players and the fans during the brilliant season. Locki11g horns with the University of Kentucky Band, the best band in Dixie, and several other highly touted musical organizations, the Mus- keteer musicians proved competent in repre- senting the University against the most rigorous competition. Favorable reports which followed band performances during the foot- ball and basketball seasons led the director to plan for a concert schedule for those mem- bers who would be able to contribute the necessary time for practice. Official recognition of the band was dis- cernible in that the band headquarters had undergone major improvements during the vacation months. One of the large rooms in the Fieldhouse, a room formerly used by the R.O.T.C., was allocated to the band for needed locker and storage space, and the band room proper was rejuvenated with paint, varnish, and a considerable amount of manual labor, the latter donated by Cincinnati bands- men. Along with the increase in Band property was a new practice schedule which called for six full hours of rehearsal each week. A noteworthy Xavier school spirit was in evidence from the very first meeting, and plans were put forth for varied social events throughout the year by officers of the band. President Frank Kurleman, Vice-President Robert Seifert, and Secretary Richard Robin- son established a precedent in adding social functions to the band schedule, and their action resulted in a more unified group with ambitions toward perfection. Band parties were held in the fall and the winter at the Ludlow C.A.C., while dates were set for the spring picnic along with the spring banquetfin the Union House for presentation of J,-letter awards.

Hiltz, President of the Class of '50 Xavier R.O.T.C. Students in Summer Camp at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This year of 1950 not only marked the mid- point of the century but it also witnessed the return to more normal operating conditions of the Xavier R.O.T.C. For the first time si11ce World War II ended the corps was commanded by a non-veteran student. Cadet Colonel Lawrence Bogenschutz, a senior in the course, was appointed to this key position in the fall and ably commanded the regiment, assisted by the Regimental Staff composed of james Marck, William Byron, Donald Kaiser, and Robert Ellerhorst. Another important change was the addition of a third battalion to the regiment. Each of these battalions met at a different hour for formations except when they were combined for corps formations. The three battalion commanders were Cadet Lieutenant Colonels Donald Esper, Eugene Friedmann, and Ferd Hauser. These men together with their unit Left to Right: Lawrence Bogenschutz, Rita Mitchell, Betty Lang. staffs were responsible for battalion adminis- tration. Fine instruction and supervision were ren- dered by the military staff made up of the officers and men of the 2476 Army Service Unit. This unit was commanded by Colonel Sidney F. Dunn, F.A., who was aided by Captain Edward P. Downing, Captain james E. Aud, and Captain Jack Conard. Several experienced enlisted men filled out the roster of the staff. The use of Xavier's well-equipped, new armory was a great asset to operations of the R.O.T.C. The large drill hall sheltered the military drill of the units even during the most inclement weather, whereas in the past the corps had been forced to suspend drill in the winter season. The garage was utilized to house the trucks and heavy weapons of the units. The additional equipment thus pro- vided, enabled the military staff to give train- ing in field artillery technique to the second year of the basic course in addition to the advanced course men to whom it had been limited up until this time. The Armory furnished room for a large modern rifle range that was the scene of many rifle matches this past year, and pro- vided fine experience in marksmanship for the cadets and the Rifle Club. A terrain board adjoining the rifle range gave very realistic practice in conduct of fire for the men studying field artillery methods. At Xavier I have been enlightened with the knowledge of righteousness and goodness, the pre vailing factors of a successful life. . t . Benjamin Allen, '50 R.O.T.C. Students on the Line in the New Rifle Range in the Armory. Among R.O.T.C. social functions the one standout was the annual Military Ball, which was open to the entire University, and was considered by many to be the finest formal dance of the autumn season. This year it was held in the Hotel Gibson Roof Garden on November 18. Music was furnished by Barney Rapp's orchestra. The Ball was the occasion for the installation of the Honorary Cadet Colonel. Miss Rita Mitchell, a student at Xavier University Evening College, had been elected to her position at a tea dance held by the cadets earlier in the fall, and at the Ball she received her commission in the corps. She was also presented with a bouquet of roses by retiring Honorary Cadet Colonel Betty Lang. Another highlight of the Ball was the awarding of the Xavier Fourragere to several new members of the Xavier Order of Military Merit. Last year's Cadet Colonel, Eugene Koesters, was presented with the United States Field Artillery Association Medal by Colonel Sidney F. Dunn. This medal is pre- sented annually for military excellence in training with the R.O.T.C. An important event of the year was the summer camp held for the members of the advanced course. The camp in 1949 saw the heaviest attendance in Xavier history, with forty-five men reporting for training at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This camp gave the cadets an opportunity to put into practice the many lessons in theory they had received at the University. Xavier cadets were outstand- ing in merit with a record of thirty-seven men being appointed as Distinguished Military Students. Ferd Hauser, a Xavier senior, was Four years at X meant an opportunity to learn more fully the Catholic principles of life so as to live Catholic Action. Robert Helmes, '50 given a citation naming him as the Outstand- ing Cadet of the camp. This year, thirty-five men were to receive their commissions as reserve officers. Five seniors were offered commissions in the regular Army because of their fine R.O.T.C. records. These men were Lawrence Bogen- schutz, Eugene Friedmann, Ferd Hauser, James Marck, and Donald Schuerman. Featured drills scheduled by the Corps in- cluded an inspection by a team of officers from the Second Army Headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, and a formal review for Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, Wartime commander of the U. S. Sixth Army. Armed Forces Day was the signal for an open house, with display of equipment and facilities for training. In addition to receiving the formal instruc- tion of the R.O.T.C. program at Xavier, the cadets had several extra-curricular organiza- tions.

The year found the Military Band for the first time made up completely of members of the R.O.T.C. It was commanded by Cadet Captain Ralph Hollmeyer and was thirty-two men strong. These men were furnished uniforms and instruments by the Army, but they received no extra credit for their musical work. Officers of the organization were Vincent Oliverio and Raymond Riehle. Another important Xavier military club was the Rifle Club composed of seventy-three members from both the Advanced and Basic Courses. The purpose of the club was to pro- vide practice and instruction in the art of marksmanship. From this group were picked the men who represented Xavier in the inter- collegiate shooting matches held throughout the year. The officers of the club were Robert Franz in the office of president, Ralph Westrich as vice-president, and Richard Schuerman as secretary-treasurer. The faculty advisor was Captain Aud, and the actual firing was carried on under the experienced eye of Master Sergeant Albert Dail, who also was of great assistance to the club as an instructor and coach. The rifle team was picked from the mem- bers of the club, and this year was fourteen men strong. They fired in several important matches, among which were the Hearst Trophy Match, the Second Army Contest and the Illinois Invitational Tournament. A match with the University of Cincinnati also was fired. The team in all these contests PERSI-IING RIFLES Bottom Row: Seibert, Franz, Ryan, Hornback, Byron, Westrich, Resing, Schuermann.

A match between twenty-five competing schools at the University of Illinois on March 10, saw Captain Aud, Master Sergeant Dail, William Byron, Robert Franz, Thomas Moehringer, Richard Schuermarm, and Ralph Westrich turning in fine shooting scores. The organization at Xavier for the cadets of the R.O.T.C. Basic Course was Company B 1 of the Pershing Rifles, a national military organization founded at the University of Nebraska at the turn of the century by the then Lieutenant John Pershing, who later became Commander of the A.E.F. in the first World War. This club was for those members of the Basic Course who showed proficiency in drill and an interest in the military science. The elected officers of the Pershing Rifles were Lee Hornback, captain, William Byron, executive officer, and William Ryan, ad- ministrative officer. Faculty advisor was Captain Edward Downing. Naturally, there was not all work and no play for the P.R. members since they had several parties, dances, and picnics scattered throughout the year. The Advanced Course members had their own organization known as the Xavier Order of Military Merit. Membership was an award for superior performance in the corps, and gave recognition to the men who earned awards and decorations from the R.O.T.C. The purpose of the group was to promote the interests of the R.O.T.C. and to unite in various social functions. The officers were Richard Denning, president, and Ferd Hauser, vice-president. Captain James Aud was the faculty sponsor. X.O.M.M. Bottom Row: Bogenschutz, Hauser, Byron, Denning, Berger, Hornback, Ellerhorst.

Held in early September, the Jamboree was under the joint sponsorship of the Alumni, the Musketeer Club, the Dads Club, and the Varsity X Club. Golf, swimming, softball, and a meal fit for men of Xavier were among the highlights of the day. The quarterly meeting in October gave the alumni their first official chance to greet the Very Rev. James F. Maguire, S.J., Xavier's new president, who addressed the group. Following his talk, Father Maguire was pre- sented with a generous check by President Jack Mulvihill of the Association. The annual Homecoming attracted many alumni from other cities. Club Village at the Hotel Alms was crowded by class reunions after the afternoon football game, in which an unusually strong Kentucky team downed the Musketeers. The large turnout caused the board of governors to begin seeking roomier accommodations for the 1950 cele- bration. The December meeting featured a talk by Mr. John Gilligan of the University's English department on Xavier's Position in the Edu- cational World.

At the end of World War II the veteran, returning to his studies, brought with him additional years in age and in many cases a wife and family. These wives, who deserve a great deal of the credit for the scholastic showing of their husbands, banded together to form an organization that would unite women living under similar circumstances and having common interests. Meetings, held every third Sunday between September and june, featured lectures, movies, and social activities of various types. For the most part, they were strictly feminine affairs, but occasionally mixed parties were held with the husbands as honored guests. An activity that will be remembered by the members of the Musketeer Wives Club as the year's outstanding event was the pre- Christmas preparation of toys for the Catholic Charities. This truly Christian endeavor re- CM sulted in light hearts for many a child on Christmas day. The wives were truly helpers of Saint Nicholas. South Hall, rather than New Orleans, was the scene of a festive Mardi Gras celebra- tion in mid-February. The Xavier wives and their husbands entertained the married couples attending the University of Cincinnati, and a gay evening, true to the pre-Lenten spirit, featured square dancing, parlor games, and refreshments. The April meeting was by far the noisiest and happiest of the year. The members of the younger generation were entertained by their mothers, and did justice to the ice cream, cake, and soft drinks that so greatly appeal to the palates of youngsters. The May meeting was scheduled as a family picnic to climax a highly eventful year. Officers of the Musketeer Wives Club were Mrs. john Hart, president, Mrs. Eugene Gemperline, vice-president, Mrs. john Mun- roe, secretary, Mrs. Ralph Sommer, trea- surer, and Mrs. Robert Wallace, publicity chairman.

After a semester of preparation, the dads opened the Pioneer Room on February 2 with a gala three-day celebration featuring a faculty-student basketball game, an informal dance in the Armory, and an open house for the students in the new campus recreation room. The Pioneer Room, with its television, rustic knotty pine, and numerous other im- provements was a bright addition to the campus, and brought a hearty thanks from the student body to the dads who financed the room for the enjoyment of the men of Xavier. The Dads Club also planned further improvements for the Pioneer Room. New tables, chairs, and drapes were next on the agenda. The March meeting of the dads was the occasion for the annual Fathers-Sons Night. The members of two generations enjoyed three and a half hours of solid entertainment featuring a concert by the Xavier University band, a variety show of campus talent, movies of the Salad Bowl game narrated by Coach Ed Kluska, and talks by Xavier's President, the Very Rev. James F. Maguire, SJ., and President Jerry Feiertag of the Dads Club. Meetings of the club were held on the first Tuesday of each month, and had for their purpose co-operation with the administration in maintaining high standards of education, the support of co-curricular activities, social acquaintance among members of the club, and promotion of Xavier's general welfare. Officers for the years were Mr. Jerry Feiertag, president, Mr. William Shields, vice-president, Mr. John McCarty, secretary, and Mr. Edward Winter, treasurer. Trustees were: Messrs. Al Bechtold, Clarence Bechtold, Albert Cash, William Cos- grove, J. R. Driscoll, Jerry Feiertag, John Fischer, Thomas Gallagher, john Hardig, William Hogan, John McCarty, Leo Ober- Schmidt, William Shields, Louis Schroeder, and Edward Winter. The Rev. Lester A. Linz, SJ., served as faculty advisor. Xavier graduates have a solid foundation in the temporal and spiritual fields which can never be taken from them and which shall be treasured by each one throughout his lifetime.

Those attending left Hotel Alms with a desire to return for the next function of the organization, and the library fund was greatly enhanced. Officers for the year were Mrs. Jerome Feiertag, president, Mrs. John Gilligan and Mrs. August Olding, vice-presidents, Mrs. K. W. Morrissey, recording secretaryg Mrs. Joseph Lammers, corresponding secretary, Mrs. Stanley Tabeling, financial secretary, Mrs. Henrietta Hogan, treasurer, and Mrs. Charles Deye, auditor.

Joseph Loftus, S.J., served as consultant. .!4!fll'l'll'LCl,e Though feminine graduates of Xavier have been few in number, they have nevertheless made up their deficit in quantity by the quality of the work done by their Alumnae Association. In October, South Hall was the scene of the annual tea, which this year honored the Rev. James F. Maguire, S.J., new president of the University. The Christmas dinner was the next high- light of the social calendar. A large crowd enjoyed a fine meal in the pleasant surround- ings of the Hotel Gibson dining room. ' One of the leading activities of the alumnae was the sponsoring of their annual Easter egg hunt at the parish of Blessed Martin de Porres in Lincohi Heights. Officers for the year were Miss Julia Herbert, presidentg Miss Constance Holtel, vice-presidentg Mrs. Edwin W. Morrell, secre- taryg and Miss Kathryn Luskey, treasurer. Forming the Board of Governors were these officers, plus Mrs. Jerome Beckman, Miss Clara Chervenak, Miss Dorothy Lett, Miss Mary C. Schackmann, and Miss Margaret Strotman. The Rev.

MW 194 9-50 If the academic year ending ir1 1950 could be considered a barometer hung in the middle of a century to forecast coming conditions, the future of Xavier looms as bright as its illus- trious past. As an indicator of things to come, it would have foreshadowed athletic prowess, spiritual growth, academic accomplishment, and further accretions to a hallowed name flush already with the achievements of over a century in Cincinnati. Even before the scholastic year proper be- gan, there were important changes affecting the university. The Very Rev. Celestin J. Steiner, S.J., was replaced by the Very Rev. james F. Maguire, S.J., on August 21 as president of the university. Father Steiner, who had been chief administrator of Xavier for nine years, was then named President of the University of Detroit. In his honor, a farewell reception, attended by many stu- dents and prominent figures in Cincinnati life, was held in the Xavier Armory on Sep- tember 6. Co-curricular activities had been given a boost during the summer by the conversion of the third floor of the Union Building into freshly-painted offices for the use of organ- izations needing them. The Mermaid Tavern, deprived of permanent quarters since the war, returned to residence on the first floor of the Union Building. The band moved into enlarged quarters in the Fieldhouse. On the day of the farewell for Father Steiner, the seniors began the registration process for their last year of undergraduate study, and freshmen entered the orientation program. The latter was to acquaint them with the surroundings and practices which MR. GREENE, DR. MCCO .2 ' if . . .. rr A '. V - W ,M ,ff -A.

JU' -V' Ohio, for the annual football battle with Miami University and for a view of the first Musketeer victory over the Redskins in the modern era. After this game, the students began to realize that perhaps great things were in store for the Muskies this season, and their hopes were vindicated by the re- mainder of the grid campaign. The following Saturday, Xavier was the scene of a migration from the other colleges of the Cincinnati region of the National Federation of Catholic College Students when it played host to the annual regional workshop of that organization. Close to five-hundred students from six states converged on the Xavier campus to hear the opening address of President Maguire, the keynote talk by the Rev. A. G. Stritch, regional moderator, and the fea- tured speech of James Gilvary, chairman of the national Catholic Action commission. By this time the freshmen had gone through the complicated process of getting organized and conducting an election. They chose james Messina as their president, Daniel Solon, vice-presidentg Paul Sweeney, secretary, and William Charles, treasurer. Mr. James F. Greene, associate chief of the Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Affairs of the U. S. State Depart- ment, spoke to the entire student body during the observance of United Nations Week on the campus in mid-October. One of the biggest pep meetings of the year preceded the Musketeer invasion of Louisville, and the first big dance of the year was the Harvest Moon Frolic a few days later in the Fieldhouse, decorated in a I-Iallowe'en motif for the affair. Over the All Saints Day Holyday period, the out-of-town students made their annual retreat in the Fieldhouse. The Rev. john McEvoy, S.j., was retreat master. Miss Ann Sanker was announced as Xavier's homecoming queen at a dance in the Topper Club ballroom the evening before the alumni trooped back to Corcoran Field to see the traditional Xavier-University of Kentucky con- test November 5. The second annual float parade enlivened the wait before the game's start, with the Alchemists walking off with the trophy award for the best bit of creative work. The first gridiron defeat of the year did not completely dampen the spirits of the alumni and students, however, as they gathered at the Hotel Alms for the home- coming dance that climaxed a day packed with activity.

Two events which most of the student body had been awaiting occurred on the same day, when, on November 12, the Musketeers downed the University of Cincinnati, 20-14, for the city football championship, and the Masque Society opened a five-day run of Eugene O'Neil's Ah, Wilderness !-in the South Hall playhouse. Many were the private parties after the football thriller, and many there were who celebrated by attending the sparkling first performance of the Masquers' play. Near- capacity audiences crowded the little theater each of the following four evenings and went away praising Director Victor Dial and the cast for another notable success. The next major event at Xavier also con- cerned the theater at Xavier. It was a night of one-act plays presented on November 21 by members of the Play Production Work- shop under the direction of Mr. Dial. The student body returned from the Thanksgiving holiday to talk about the Salad Bowl bid that had been accepted by the foot- ball team, which annexed its ninth victory by a turkey day 14-7 triumph over valiant Marshall College at Huntington, West Vir- ginia. Basketball followed hard on the heels of the gridiron warriors as the cagers opened their season with a romp over Franklin College December 3, the same day that the Xavier Presents show went big-time and appeared before the television cameras. Seldom a Saturday passed after that during which a large group of students did not turn out to View the show, either in the studio or in front of the television receivers. The Hotel Gibson Roof Garden was the scene of the annual football banquet on December 13. Coach Paul Bryant of the University of Kentucky's football team was the principal speaker at the banquet, during which it was announced that James Liber had been elected captain of the 1950 football squad. Two days later, the Armory was trans- formed into a dance floor for the annual Christmas Ball. In the Victory Room of the Hotel Gibson, on the same night, an out- standing victory was won by a Xavier team of debaters from the Accounting Society who impressed numerous Cincinnati businessmen by a victory over a group of University of Cin- af Q., , .45 l Q 55, 5' an wQ 2 M fm- Xx L1 fax, if i I N ' -TL 14 . -x,.. ,A 9 x W Nw .v ' ,.-.uwias ' 'Nik' D' 'ji 5f,w'1J-.,r ww 53 mlywdfff Ae L -'W A - 1?SS'r 72411 , .xx- .H M Ak ,.Md.aLfHi'X' K I YV' M 5,1 '51 ,wi W' kixwn K Q 3 f in ,L ,A if - ,M w 'ff.rQfK-fit' FYGQZSLQQQIHQXHN jf dwg A 'QM' M' gm ' 'L Vw swfg, ggagegjifvv.-g Qs-gig sf' mv fgmf-,W ,Mega 2 has -H A Y E5 Qs w W Sfwfm' Q1 A sw QM?

One of the most important social events of the year took place on February 17 when the junior Prom was held at the Hotel Gibson Roof Garden. Mariann Holthaus reigned as queen of the prom, and she and Senior Class President John Hiltz, the prom king, were crowned by President Maguire. The king and queen then joined to lead the court in the Emperor's Waltz. In elections to fill class officer and student council vacancies created by mid-year grad- uations and other changes, John Glaser was elected president of Student Council and vice- president of the senior class, and Thomas Yash, secretary of the senior class. David Hils was elected president of the freshman class, and Benjamin Allen, chairman of the athletic board.

Or because they have learned the joy of exploring the various fields of the humanities -history, literature, philosophy, language, and introductory science . . . And because they like the spirit of the Downtown College. Serving as Dean of the Downtown College for the third year was the personable and friendly administrator, the Rev. Victor Nie- porte, SJ. His is no easy position. The dean of a school like the Downtown College must be alert, must recognize the needs of business and industry in the community, and must find the kind of men and women who are both competent and willing to teach their subjects an evening or two each week in accordance with the best educational tradi- tion. Such a man Father Nieporte has shown himself to be. And he has proved to be even more than that. He is always the pleasant and interested counselor of the students of the Downtown College when they come to dis- cuss their problems with him. Assisting Father Nieporte is the Secretary of the Downtown College, Miss Esther Spaeth, who sees to it that the multitudinous ad- ministrative details involved in conducting the school are looked after. And it is she who furnishes much of the power behind the numerous activities of the school. It seems only fitting to add an expression of tribute and of gratitude to the ladies and gentlemen who have served as the EC faculty during 1949-50. From the regular faculty of the University came the Revs. Thomas Conry, SJ., William Hetherington, S.j., Maurice Link, S.J., joseph Loftus, S.J., and Louis UhS FACULTY Nolan, F. Longano, G. P.

Downtown College life is not confined to classroom meetings alone. Consider the social and co-curricular program of the 1949- 50 school year as it is entered on the school records. Early in September the annual Play Day of the Downtown College was held on the Evanston campus of the University. Students and their friends thus came together to renew the acquaintances begun during the previous year. On the last Friday of the same month the first of the year's dances-a Get-Acquainted MISS ESTHER SPAETH Secretary, Downtown College Dance-took place in the Downtown College auditorium under the chairmanship of Harold Grome. The purpose of this dance was pri- marily to welcome the students who had registered at Xavier for the first time. Next on the program of active Downtown College men and women was the initiation of new members into the Boosters Club-the organization of those who have been at Xavier for at least a year. On Sunday, October 23, the members and the candidates gathered for Mass in the Chapel of Elet Hall on the Evanston campus. Breakfast followed in the Cafeteria. The initiation was conducted in the Xavier Armory for twenty-eight new- comers to the Boosters' ranks. The committee in charge of this feature consisted of Robert FIRST YEAR CLUB OFFICERS Left to Right: Frimming, Rolfes, Hollander, Knochelmann BOOSTERS CLUB Bottom Row: Crawford, Zimmer, Fisher, Mueller, Klocker, Medecke, Rolfes, Nicholson, Rennekamp.

Third Row: Behler, Siciliano, DeLuca, Wimmers, Barker, Stallo, McGee, Sanker, Bondick, Cummins, Gau. Calahan, Gerry Meyer, Patricia Fisher, and James Dugan-and a memorable affair they made it for the neophytes. Luncheon was served in the Cafeteria, and it was announced that the Boosters Club was making a gift of 35750.00 to Father Nieporte for improvements ir1 the Downtown College library and office. The Dean used this fund to install fluorescent lighting in these rooms. After the Musketeers succeeded in de- feating the Bearcats of the University of Cincinnati on Saturday, November 12, the Boosters gathered for a semi-formal dance in the Rookwood Room of the Hotel Sinton. Russ Weiler, the chairman for this occasion, saw to it that guests had a fine time i11 keep- ing with the afternoon's notable victory. Around Thanksgiving the annual election campaign of the Boosters Club was waged, and after the votes were counted, it was an- nounced that the following had won places: President, Joseph Sanker, vice-president, Larry Barker, corresponding secretary, Yvonne Gandert, recording secretary, Ruth Delaney, treasurer, Daniel Bondick, consultors in charge of social events, Patricia Fisher and Frank Stallo, consultors in charge of pub- licity, james Siciliano and Robert Calahan. A party to honor the newly elected officials was held on the last Friday of the month. The annual Downtown College Christmas Party was held on December 18 in the school auditorium. The candidates for office in the November contest served as the committee for this affair, at which gifts and money were collected for the children of Holy Trinity Parish. Approximately 3200.00 for this pur- pose was raised at this party. joseph Sanker, Larry Barker, and Gerry Meyer served as co- chairmen. After the holidays the semester examina- tions slowed down the social life of the Down- town College, but on February 10 the First Year Club sponsored a square dance in the auditorium for the pleasure of their own members and of the Boosters. It should be remarked that the First Year Club is comprised of students attending Xavier's Downtown College for the first time, they are ineligible, therefore, for the older organization, the Boosters. These yearling Xaverians met informally on a bi-weekly basis throughout the year. Some forty-five of them came to these gatherings, and some of them met also on Sunday afternoons for bowling at the Mergard Alleys. Officers of the Club were John Knochehnann, president, Joseph Rolfes, vice-president, Paul O'Con- nell, corresponding secretary, Glenn Hol- lander, recording secretary, and Henrietta Frimming, treasurer. During the second semester the latter two offices were filled by Ruth Meyer and Edwin Keefe, respectively. The annual Mardi Gras dance was held February 19 under the co-chairmanship of Patricia Fisher and Frank Stallo. During the Lenten season three notable events were- staged by the Boosters. The first was the winter playday, which was held at Lunken Playfield on Sunday, March 8, from five to eleven p.m. Boosters and their guests spent the hours with archery, table tennis, shuffleboard, and canasta contests. Another Lenten event was the three-day retreat conducted at the Downtown College from March 24 to 26. The Rev. James McCummiskey, S.-I., of Xavier's Department of Philosophy preached this retreat and left the Boosters and their friends much im- pressed. The annual retreat is now a well established practice at the school. The first conference is held on Friday evening after class. Conferences continue on Saturday afternoon and evening, and the exercises close with Mass, conferences, and the Papal Benediction on Sunday. Lastly, as a feature of the Lenten period the Boosters presented the Christopher motion picture, You Can Change the World, for the Downtown College students on March 31. Plans for the annual contest to select the Knight and Lady of the Downtown College at the annual Spring Dance were being formulated as The Musketeer went to press. The affair is scheduled for May 13. Other plans have to do with the traditional moon- light boatride and with the end-of-the-year or have-a-good-vacation or see-you-in-the- fall dance that brings the Boosters' program to a conclusion. There are other activities of the Down- town College. One is the discussion group from the student body. It has been meeting twice each month under the leadership of Dean Nieporte and the chairmanship of Mary Klocker. They have made the library on the third floor the scene of some lively discussions on many subjects. There also has been a dramatic group led by Mary Catherine Zimmer and Edward Goetz, who promised that a one-act play would be forthcoming before the end of the year. Other Downtown College students, of course, REGISTRATION AT THE DOWNTOWN COLLEGE are very active in the University's Masque Society and have had important roles in the Society's productions, which are related else- where in The Musketeer. Last but never least is Kappa Sigma Mu, the organization of men and women Xaverians of the Downtown College of the past as well as the present who come together to enjoy the comradeship of congenial associates. This year Kasimu's customary Hallowe'en Dance and its April Semi-Formal were held, and the initiation of new members and election of officers are scheduled for late in May. This being the Mid-Century Musketeer, memory returns to the men and women and the activities that have been a part of the Downtown College through the years. Accord- ing to the first announcement of the old Saint Xavier College of Commerce, Account- ing, and Finance Cdated September, 19115 Downtown College classes were instructed to meet for the first time on October 9, 1911. The bulletin bore the name of the President of the College, the Rev. F. Heiermann, SJ. It also was signed by a committee of alumni, whose names are still well known in the city: Messrs. Ernest DuBrul, Leo VanLahr, William Byrne, Charles Dupuis, William Geohegan, Edward Moulinier, and Denis Cash. The last three named also served on the faculty of the new department, as did also the Rev. john McCormick SJ., and Messrs. C. Louis Coffin, William Burns, and Frederick Leach. It is not feasible to record the names of the ninety-nine students who attended the new school. Those who completed their work and received their degrees of Bachelor of Science in Commerce some years later, how- ever, were Messrs. Alfred Brendel, Frank Hoenemeyer, Frank Crane, Joseph Grollig, Paul Heinrichsdorf, Edward Kennedy, Ed- D OWNTOWN COLLEGE LIBRARY ,,.-Z 1 KAPPA SIGMA MU Seated: Niehoff, Fahy, Berns, Klocker, Holtel.

Monthly lectures delivered by out- standing business men of those years were another activity of the Co-ops. It is also worth noting that today's Xavier University News was originally inaugurated by students of a class in journalism in the College of Commerce. In 1915 this class, taught by the late Mr. L. J. Blakely, published the first issue of The Xaverian News. During the thirty-nine years that the Down- town College has been in existence it has enjoyed the guidance of an able group of administrators. The University's Presidents are listed elsewhere in this edition of The Musketeer. More closely associated with the Downtown College, however, have been the Regents and the Deans, who have directed its course. The Regents were the Rev. Joseph Reiner, S.J., 1916-22g the Rev.

In setting this enviable mark, the '49-'50 squad gained the respect and admiration of all the great Xavier teams in the first half of this century as the great- ness of the past seemed to be molded into the magnificent Mid-Century Musketeers who rolled through ten victories, captured the Ohio Collegiate Championship, and became Salad Bowl Champions in the first post season bowl game ever entered by a Xavier team. The possibility of the Blue and White being nationally recognized became a reality as their supporters cheered them on to triumph in the Mid-Century year. Individual honors were achieved by Tito Carinci, Jim DeFranco, and Ray Stackhouse in the form of honorable mentions on the All- America team, and to Carinci, DeFranco, Tom Duff, Cliff Wilke, and Stackhouse as members of the 1949 All-Ohio team.

A jubilant Xavier team flew to Phoenix, Arizona, shortly after Christmas to play Ari- zona State in the Salad Bowl, marking the first time a Xavier grid team competed in a post season encounter. An equally jubilant Welcoming committee was on hand to greet the visitors from the midwest, who were lodged at the exclusive Johake Inn. Among the festivities preceding the coun- try's second largest post season charity game was a huge parade that stretched over three miles and included some thirty-seven bands and floats represent- Captain Ray Stackhouse brings the Salad Bowl Trophy back to Xavier. to overcome a first period touch- down the Sun Devils had racked up when their ace halfback, Whizzer White, scored on a pass from Coleman.

The Phoenix Union High School Band was the official Xavier band for the day and was given the honor of play- ing the Xavier Alma Mater before the game. With 18,500 fans watching, the Big Blue ran wild as they combined a series of aerial-ground attacks with heads-up-football to blast Arizona State 33-21 and earn possession of the Larry Grill Memorial Trophy. It was no bed of roses for the Blue, however, as they were forced ,QQ up 'iff Yrs its 'f l Wx X vs 'l A L-' Yx ,: ,I -.Q . . The game was evened up once again early in the third quarter when a Xavier fumble allowed Coleman to engineer his way across the double stripe. The Muske- teers used only five plays to cover sixty-one yards and regain the lead as O'Brien on an end around went thirty-three yards and Mc- Quade sneaked over from the one-foot line for his first score of the year. Bob Finnell scored the second T.D. of the quarter after another Hahn interception, and Bing Crowe climaxed the Xavier scoring after Tom Duff recovered an Arizona fumble. White scored the final Arizona touchdown. A rewarding banquet was held after the game for the victors, during which engraved watches were presented to the individual players and coaches as a token of gratitude from the Salad Bowl officials for the time and effort donated to the charity game. On hand to greet the victorious Mus- keteers at the airport in Cincin- nati were several hundredffriends and fans who swamped the team with praise and congratulations as they emerged from the plane with the trophy. we 1 v' ,, , .. w 0 Liga? 6 li sf 1 gm? :sr DF Luckafmv - F 4 soon NL PWCOLUABUS COACHES pLAYERS E swung 'I WMU!

WESLEYAN 0 XaVier's Mid-Century team started the season with a lop-sided 53-0 victory over West Virginia Wesleyan on September 16, setting a post-war scoring record. The regulars stayed in the game only long enough to run up a 13-0 margin while the remainder of the contest was played by the reserves. Touchdowns were scored by Dick Fennell, Roeckers CZD, Wilke, Finnell, Mussio, and Hahn CZD, with Gerry Keefe contributing five placements to the melee. The forward wall gave indications of its anticipated power by limiting the Bobcats to a mere fifty-three yards from rushing. XAVIER 21, DAYTON 7 A favored University of Dayton team pro- vided the Musketeers with the incentive BALLABAN BURESH GAINS ON PASS FROM MCQUADE IN FIRST DAYTON GAME ROECKERS SCORES AGAINST WEST VIRGINIA WESLEYAN needed to upset the Flyers on their own grid- iron by a 21-7 count. Once again it was the excellent line play that kept the highly rated U.D. backfield harassed throughout most of the game. One of those famous McQuade to DeFranco passes put the Big Blue in the lead after Squeri lugged the ball within striking range. A second T.D. was set up and carried out by Wilke when he intercepted a Dayton pass on the Flyer forty-three and ran it back to the thirteen. Several plays later the pile driving halfback hit pay dirt as he charged across from the one-yard line. The final Xavier score resulted a few minutes later through a Flyer fumble on their own seven which was recovered by Jack Hoffman. Wilke again smashed over and Gerry Keefe con- verted for his third extra point in as many tries. Leroy Ka-Ne provided Dayton with its only tally when, early in the third quarter, he took a pitchout from Zaleski and snaked his way through forty-five yards of Xavier terri- tory. Timely pass interceptions on the part of Finnell prevented later Flyer aerial threats from materializing while the defensive line kept the running plays in check. FINNELL PICKS UP YARDAGE AGAINST QUANTICO XAVIER 27, QUANTICO MARINES 7 The Musketeers returned to Corcoran Field to play host to the Quantico Marines who arrived in Cincinnati with a twenty-seven game win streak, their most recent victory being a 14-7 edging of V.M.I. A confident Xavier team, however, had a victory string of their own to extend, and their determina- tion was satisfied when the final score was a 27-7 win for the Blue. Bob McQuade tossed a short pass to DeFranco on the ten, and from there on the field was clear. Consistent Cliff Wilke drove through from the six-inch line on the first play of the second quarter to keep intact his touchdown-per-game spree. The Devil Dogs contributed two additional points to the Xavier cause when they attempted to run the ball out from behind their own goal. Carinci and Wilke teamed up to interrupt Marine Ben Moore's sweep while he was still deep in his end zone. A pass from Flores to Smith, good for sixteen yards and a T.D., proved to be the only retaliation the Marines could muster. Hugh O'Brien climbed aboard the scoring band wagon early in the fourth quarter when he garnered in a McQuade pass and completed the remainder of the forty-six yard jaunt unmolested. Wilke ended the day's scoring by pounding the pigskin across from five yards out. Coach Feldhaus' line restrained the Marine running attack to eighty yards and once again proved Xavier's superiority in their class. XAVIER 27, MIAMI 19 The Musketeers traveled to Oxford, Ohio, the following week to present Miami with a 27-19 set-back and to end a long series of Redskin victories over Xavier. Miami took advantage of the breaks to amass a twelve point lead in the first quarter but saw their lead disappear before the first half had been completed. A fired-up Xavier line overpowered the Redskin defenders as the backs moved the ball to the Miami nine-yard line Where Cliff Wilke took over to initiate the Xavier scoring. Bob Finnell kept the pace torrid by scampering through from the eight-yard line in his first attempt, and once again from the fifteen just as the first half began to fade. Charlie Squeri notched an additional T.D. in the third quarter after Saban set up the score with a pass interception on the Redskin thirty-seven. Miami maneuvered a final seven points in the closing frame when Beck- rest eluded the X defense, but this was to FINNELL SCORES XAVIER'S SECOND TOUC DOWN AGAINST MIAMI no avail as an inspired Musketeer eleven kept the rest of the game in cold storage. The triumph resulted from team co-ordina- tion, but it was the outstanding line play which contributed the greater share to Xavier's fourth consecutive victory. Defensive ends Martinkovic and Hoffman were brilliant in consistently smashing through the Redskin wall to bottle-up the highly touted Miami quarterback Mel Olix. XAVIER 21, JOHN CARROLL 7 On October 16 the Big Blue extended their winning ways to include John Carroll al- though the Streaks furnished competition more stubborn than had been expected. The passing arm of Bob McQuade together with the smooth running of Charlie Squeri played a heavy role in the 21-7 victory over the men from University Heights. A combination of aerials and line bucks churned up eighty-seven yards to put X in front by seven with Wilke plunging over right tackle for the T .D. A sensational pass from Schaffer to Conti soon had the Blue Streaks back on an equal foot- ing, however, as it netted them their only score of the day. Squeri entered the picture at this point to dash across the double stripe SQUERI RACKS UP YARDAGE AGAINST LOUISVILLE WILKE'S GAIN IS HALTED IN JOHN CARROLL GAME from five yards out on a play which climaxed a sixty-two yard drive. The johnnies fumbled on their own thirty and enabled the Mus- keteers to cap the scoring for the day with a seven yard toss from McQuade to Squeri while Keefe converted successfully for a per- fect afternoon at splitting the uprights. Tito Carinci looked very good in his defensive role, stopping many of the desperation passes of Kilfoyle and Schaffer in the closing moments of the game. XAVIER 19, LOUISVILLE 7 Ninety-five yards of penalties in the Louis- ville game on October 21 failed to slow down the onslaught as the Musketeers wrapped up their sixth straight win without a defeat to the tune of 19-7. Several Xavier T.D. drives failed just as they seemed ready to materialize into tallies, and this resulted in a score that in no way indicated the decisiveness of the X victory. A strong running attack, dis- played locally in previous games, was most instrumental in the win with Squeri exhibit- ing peak efficiency in scoring two touch- downs on two line bucks-one from the three and the other from the fifteen-yard line. DAVIS DOMANICO WILKE SNAGS PASS IN DAYTON GAME Louisville got things underway in the second quarter when a forty-yard pass and three line plunges sent the Fall City crew ahead with seven big points. Xavier followed this up with a fierce ground attack that terminated with the first of Squeri's two touchdowns, and the half-time score stood at seven all. The second half had hardly begun when the same touchdown play was called from the Louis- MCQUADE MAKES RARE RUNNING P AGAINST DAYTON ville fifteen, and Squeri, with the assistan of a key block by Tom Duff, was once aga across the Cardinal goal. After each te held the other to equal terms throughout t remainder of the second half, Cliff Wilke to the ball on a wide end sweep from the Loui ville seventeen and kept alive his feat scoring in every game by squeezing in T.D. as the gun sounded ending the game. XAVIER 14, DAYTON O Revenge was written all over the Universi of Dayton team that took the field for t second game of the home-and-home seri on October 30, but the final gun burst upon frustrated Flyer eleven and a star halfbac Ka-Ne, both held scoreless for the first time ' the middle-aged season. A 14-0 final sco convinced the Flyers that the sparkling Xavi line had even improved since the first e counter and that the backs were as alert ever when scoring opportunities appeare Opportunity number one arose in the secon quarter when Finnell returned a U.D. pu ABAN INTERCEPTS PARILLI PASS IN KENTUCKY GAME the Dayton forty-three and McQuade rialed to Wilke for twenty-one yards. Four ditional plays placed the pigskin on the o where Cliff Wilke took command to ore his tenth T.D. of the year. Jackie ahn's interception inaugurated opportunity mber two, and again it was Wilke on the oring end. Squeri alternated with Wilke handoffs which moved the Big Blue sixty- ur yards in eleven plays. Keefe converted ter both touchdowns. Much credit is due the magnificent line play, offensively and fensively, of the Musketeers as they demon- rated their talent for playing hard, bitter otball when the occasion required that pe game. XAVIER 7, KENTUCKY 21 Xavier's Homecoming Game on November with the highly-rated University of Ken- cky eleven proved to be the turning of the de for the Musketeer winning streak as the ildcats smashed over a 21-7 victory. Both ams displayed remarkable endurance in WILKE IS KNOCKED DOWN PASSING TO HOFFMAN IN I-IOMECOMING GAME sock-'em-and-rock-'em football, but a few bad breaks and lack of reserve strength finally teamed up to slap the Big Blue with their only defeat of the season. The Ken- tuckians were limited to a lone touchdown during the first three quarters as a determined Xavier squad squelched the steam roller attack of the U.K. power-house. Then early in the fourth period the Wildcats rolled Ha as FENNELL FINNELL GEARDING GLADE BACCI TACKLES JANSEN IN U. C. GAME through a tired and injury riddled X line for a pair of scores. By this time, the Mus- keteers, trailing 21-0, decided to risk the alert pass defense of U.K. and a duo of aerials from Wilke to Hoffman netted fifty-six yards to give the gallant Musketeers a chance to regain their scoring ability. Wilke readily battered across the goal line for his eleventh T.D. of the year, and Gerry Keefe made the most of the touchdown with an extra point conversion. John Saban and Tito Carinci shared the defensive highlights as they disrupted the Wildcat advance on numerous occasions, but the entire team displayed the courage needed in the face of overwhelming odds. XAVIER 20, CINCINNATI 14 With the pressure of a possible undefeated season abated, the Musketeers jumped back into the win column with renewed vigor when they met the University of Cincinnati in Nippert Stadium the following Saturday. Both teams were considered to be potential winners, but little doubt remained in the minds of the O'BRIEN KNOCKS PASS FROM GIBSON'S AR fans in the stand as to the greater of the two teams after the Big Blue returned to the Evanston campus with the City Champion- ship in the form of a 20-14 victory over U.C. Some 28,000 people jammed in the stadium saw Bob McQuade open the Xavier scoring with a pass from the five-yard line to the eager arms of Hugh O'Brien in the end zone. A second touchdown terminated a series of thirteen plays covering ninety yards and netted Bob Finnell six additional points, for his individual scoring account. A final T.D. was accumulated when Saban recovered a Bear- cat fumble on the U.C. two yard line, and Hammering Cliff Wilke carried the oval through the middle in his first attempt. Keefe converted for the second time. U.C. scored twice in the second half, but it was a matter of having too little too late as the Musketeers repeatedly offset any sizeable Bearcat ad- vances. The game was marked by the superb punting of Bernie Roeckers, brilliant running by Charlie Squeri, and the peerless line play of the Xavier forward wall. Head Coach Kluska master-minded a new type pass de- HAHN HAR DY HIPP HOFFMAN KEEFE MARTINKOVIC ERI GRINDS OUT YARDAGE AGAINST MARSHALL fense, which was carried out most success- fully by defensive ends Martinkovic, Hardy, Hipp, and DeFranco. They effectively stopped one of the nation's top passers, Tom O'Malley, and earned the acclaim poured on them, as did all 42 members of the '49-'50 football team. It was a team victory in every sense of the word. XAVIER 13, MARSHALL 7 The Big Blue closed their ten game schedule at Huntington, West Virginia, with a 13-7 win over an inspired Marshall College eleven. Although Xavier completely overpowered the Herd, the scoring was held to a minimum when rain made wide open football impossible during the final three quarters of the game. Squeri, who had been a key figure in the backfield all season, was injured in the second play of the game and did not return to action. The Xavier scoring was accomplished through the combined efforts of Finnell, Saban, and Wilke, who spearheaded drives deep into Marshall territory. McQuade flipped a short pass to Wilke which was good DEFRANCO REACHES FOR PASS IN MARSHALL GAME for a T.D., and Keefe found the mark in converting. Several other scoring threats in the second quarter were thwarted by penalties against the Blue, and the half-time score remained 7-0. A Xavier fumble on its own thirty-seven yard line was capitalized by Marshall to even the score as Fieldson used the aerial route with Gibson on the receiving end for their lone tally. But in the final stanza the Musketeers put on one of their by now famous over-land drives and, after sixty-four yards of excellent team play, john Saban crashed through center to complete the scor- ing in the game. One of the highlights of the game was the manner in which Big Bill Rankin filled in with the regulars after a season of comparative inactivity. This ended the regular football season for the Musketeers but their great prowess and very successful season were rewarded in the next few days when officials of the Salad Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona, invited X to play there on January 2, 1950, in a charity game with Arizona State College as their opponent.

The Blue and White plainly lacked the frontal attack to break through the final barriers to victory. Disregarding the tre- mendous odds they faced in the hand-picked material of the opposition, the frosh gave no indication of relinquishing without first making a real contest of the game even though there was an apparent futility in their ambitions. Coach Ned Wulk's proteges dropped a close opener to the Dayton Frosh as the Flyers eked out a 13-6 win under the lights at Corcoran Field. Although the frosh in- dicated power by overshadowing the Dayton team in many departments, the needed breaks were enjoyed by the opponents when scoring opportunities arose. A 21-7 loss at the hands of the Miami yearlings gave the little Musketeers their P26 l'I'lCLI'l second setback in as many outings. It was notably a one-man show as Boxcar Jim Bailey of Miami ripped his way around and through for sizeable gains at strategic points of the game. Xavier scored on an intercep- tion by end John O'Connor, who grabbed the pass on the Blue 45-yard line and completed the remaining distance in one long gallop. The U.C. Bearkittens threw everything in the book at the freshmen to push over a lop- sided win, 67-6, and to retaliate, in a small way, for the fate of their varsity team in an earlier encounter between the schools. Standouts in the tri-game season included Stan Schneider, Bob Judy, Tom Bamber, John O'Connor, John Skole, and Bill Schramm. These men, together with several others, should prove valuable to Coach Kluska as additional strength in the varsity line and backfield when the pigskin artists resume activities next season. Prognosticators have already indicated that key positions on the varsity team will be hotly contested 'for by these frosh until the positions are assigned. .fdfkificd ince f 900 Even at the start of the Twentieth Century, Xavier was well-represented in the three major sports, football, basketball, and base- ball. The athletic teams at the turn of the century were instilling respect in the hearts of their opponents for the name of Xavier, just as sports teams representing the school since that time have continued to do so. The foot- ball team, for example, has racked up an amazing record of 162 victories, 95 defeats, and 11 ties since 1918. In only seven years did the team fail to Win more games than it lost, and three of those could be attributed to World War II. In basketball, the Musketeer record has been equally as great. Since 1928, the Xavier cagers have won 210 games and lost 168. In only five years did they lose more games than they won, and three of those could also be attributed to World War II. With such an athletic heritage, it Was only natural that the Xavier athletic teams of the mid-century year should carve out niches for themselves in the archives of the school's tradition. The football team boasted a new season's record of ten victories and a lone defeat. The basketball team, though it did not compile a sensational season record, did play on nearly equal terms with such top flight teams as Holy Cross, Kentucky, and Western Kentucky, and pulled startling up- sets on Toledo and the University of Cin- cinnati. -E . , X . , ,liek Yew J' I : N 5 Wi' .7359 5? ., 3 :Y if figs W 'i?5f ' mi 1' . -v ' 1 ', ga ff 3 6 LQ , , ar, ' 1 'H A H sv '-f' '4v.' 3 W-5,3 ' 5 K Y E if .-. , A r ' 9 U J.

Q Rx Us Q - Q 4 L DEAN HITS FOR TWO POINTS AGAINST FRANKLIN H KORB DEAN Coach Lew Hirt unveiled sophomore sen- sation Gene Middie Smith, who set a sizzling pace by establishing an average of nearly sixteen points for each of the games he played. Win or lose, the mid-century basketball team was one that displayed the ideals and inspirations of Xavier University, and its true character was reflected in its clean play and ever-present sportsmanship. DEAN SCORES IN TOLEDO GAME XAVIER 72, FRANKLIN 47 Xavier's star center, Gene Smith, sparked the Big Blue to victory in the season's opener with the Grizzlies from Franklin College on December 3, 1949. The rangy center had full control over both backboards as well as the nets in Memorial Fieldhouse. Xavier went scoreless in the first five minutes of play, as the Grizzlies slipped in two baskets, but much vocal support from the bleachers spurred the Blue into action almost innnediately. Smith's twenty-three points led the two teams in the individual scoring column and paved the Way for the decisive win. XAVIER 66, GEORGETOWN CKYJ 42 Little let up could be noted in the hot pace set by Middie Smith when the Musketeers played the Georgetown Tigers the following Tuesday night in the Fieldhouse. Middie again made himself at home on both back- boards and tied the all-time l1igh scoring record with twenty-six points to lead the Blue to victory number two. . XAVIER 57, WESTERN KENTUCKY 59 Time On My Hands may well have been the tune running through the minds of the OFFER LOBS ONE IN AGAINST HOLY CROSS Battalion as they returned from the Cin- cinnati Garden with a defeat at the hands of Western Kentucky on December 10. Dis- cordant notes were heard from fans and players because an erratic timer allowed the game to go beyond the regulation period. But they were to no avail as the Hilltoppers had come from behind in the closing thirty seconds to win the game. XAVIER 68, YOUNGSTOWN 46 A five day respite in the schedule gave the Musketeers time to prepare for the game with the Youngstown College aggregation. The Penguins were merely five other men on the floor as far as the Battalion was concerned, and this they demonstrated by toying with the visitors until the last ten minutes of the game before opening up with a thirty point barrage. Dick Korb captured scoring honors. XAVIER 47, LOUSIVILLE 64 Saturday, December 17, was one of the days the Blue five were unable to get under- way, while the visiting Cardinals from Louis- ville were unable to miss. The second half was ahnost restricted to Louisville scoring as SMITH NETS TWO POINTS AGAINST FRANKLIN -I CA DY ALSTON the Musketeer attempts to hit the hoop brought naught but frustration. XAVIER 76, SANTA CLARA 41 A somewhat revamped Musketeer quintet took the floor against the Santa Clara Broncos in the Fieldhouse on December 21. Bill Hoffer, Gene Smith, and Dick Korb swished their way into the double digit column, as H-X-.Hg sl I KARTHOLL RUBERG they kept the Big Blue in a one-sided com- mand of the game. Leading 37-13 at the intermission, the Battalion had few worries, as they scored at will in the final period. XAVIER 51, HOLY CROSS 54 Undefeated Holy Cross, with All-American Bob Cousy in their midst, discovered a never- say-die Xavier five when the two teams met in the Fieldhouse on December 27. A 31-16 Crusader lead at half time melted away before the long looping fielders of Bobby Dean, and it was a tie game with less than a minute to go. This loss was a heart breaker to every member of the team since the Hirtmen had come within seconds of defeating the finest team in the nation. XAVIER 70, YOUNGSTOWN 59 Taking to the road for one game, the Bat- talion played a return match with Youngs- town on January 5. The Penguins were little more than helpless as they watched Smith, Dean, Morthorst, and Alston pump in shots for double digit results. Youngstown led 35-33 at the intermission, but a red-hot final period by the Blue was too scorching for the Penguins. XAVIER 86, LOYOLA CMARYLANDD 63 Home floor records went by the boards the following Friday when the Musketeers scored forty-six points in the first half, set a Xavier scoring record, and combined with the Loyola Greyhounds to set a new total score mark. XAVIER 72, LOUISVILLE 77 The Louisville Cardinals made it two straight over the Big Blue in the Jefferson County Armory at Louisville on January 7, after the Blue put up one of their best offen- sive exhibitions ofthe year. Smith, Morthorst, and Dean hit the hoop for the double figure column in totaling the highest losing score ever recorded by a Xavier five. XAVIER 51, WESTERN KENTUCKY 63 Remaining in the Blue Grass country, the Musketeers met the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky again on January 9 before a sell- out crowd of 5,000 and again found little con- solation in the advantages of the two minute rule as they dropped the game. Korb and Alston led the Blue scoring and helped in limiting All-American candidate Bob Lavoy to ten points. XAVIER 58, LAWRENCE TECH 52 A trip to the Motor City on January 13 afforded the Blue Battalion their seventh win of the season at the expense of the Lawrence Tech quintet, although the Blue Devils made it an uphill battle for the Musketeers through- out the game. Gene Smith again sparked the way with his brilliant accuracy in hitting the hoop, while Alston and Kartholl supplied the fans with a flourish of skillful ball handling. XAVIER 56, TOLEDO 65 The Musketeers stopped off at Toledo the following day to match baskets with the SMITH FROLICS AT CENTER IN LOYOLA Rockets before a crowd of 3,500. Red-hot basketball on the part of the Rockets netted them twenty points in the last eight minutes and put the Blue out of the running. XAVIER 55, DAYTON 65 A surprisingly adept University of Dayton five brought along a triphammer scoring com- bination and classy ball handlers when they greeted the road-weary Musketeers in the Memorial Fieldhouse on January 22. The scoring remained evenly matched during the first half, but the Flyers took complete com- mand in the first twelve minutes of the second stanza to give them a twenty-four point lead. XAVIER 47, KENTUCKY 58 Another Kentucky team added Xavier to its list of victims when the University of Kentucky Wildcats tacked on an eleven point victory in the Cincinnati Garden on january 28, before the largest collegiate gathering of the season. Forced to shoot from far out, the Musketeers were unable to connect with the hoop in the clutches even though they were able to overcome six-point margins twice in the first period to take the lead. The inter- mission score was knotted up at twenty-three ALSTON SHOOTS IN DAYTON GAME 1 at n f -if F' .- , il - 1 ' 1 5. A NIXON HOFFER apiece when Smith, who played a brilliant offensive and defensive game, made a free throw after the gun had sounded. XAVIER 59, MIAMI 60 Playing on the home floor the following Tuesday did not provide the needed incen- tive, and as a result the Musketeers were edged by an underdog Miami quintet. A comfortable intermission lead was cut down to one point during the disastrous ten minutes following the second half tip off, and from there on it was a see-saw battle with the Red- skins getting the most of it. Bob Alston and Don Ruberg led the Xavier scoring with the latter hitting the nets creditably on long fielders. XAVIER 50, INDIANA STATE 52 Cool, clear, Hoosier air appeared to be the factor needed by the Blue Battalion for victory as they ran up a 30-17 half time lead with ease over the Sycamores of Indiana State on February 3. However, the basketball addicts of Indiana applied the well worn second half jinx to the Musketeer attack and had the game evened up at the end of regulation play- ing time. The overtime was marked by an exchange of leads, but the Hoosiers finally remained on top as the Blue scoring punch went awry in the final seconds. XAVIER 47, SAN FRANCISCO 57 Procedure was reversed for the Big Blue in the encounter with the San Francisco Dons at Owensboro, Kentucky, five days later since the scoring jinx was cast over the Mus- keteers in the first ten minutes of the open- ing stanza. Bobby Dean and Dick Korb directed the Xavier scoring in the vain but gallant attempt to win over last year's N.I.T. champions. DEAN MAKES FIELDER AGAINST TOLEDO XAVIER 45, EVANSVILLE 36 Xavier reverted to the slow break style of basketball for their game with the Evansville Collegians February 10, and walked away with the team that had previously trampled over the University of Louisville and Western Kentucky. XAVIER 42, DAYTON 59 Erratic shooting by the Blue five marred their opportunity to even the count with the University of Dayton on February 13. Day- tonians were rather amazed to see the Mus- keteers connect for only twelve field goals as against the twenty-two amassed by the Flyers in their win. Bill Cady hit for five baskets and two charity tosses to lead the Xavier scorers. XAVIER 51, MIAMI 37 Sweet revenge was accomplished on Saint Valentine's Day when the Battalion dropped in on the Miami Redskins for their second meeting of the season. Bill Hoffer put his Whole heart into the game and netted himself A sf ,, Q92 shi Q . 5 , we - , , , GREVEY Mc QUADE eighteen points while keeping Xavier well out of danger from start to finish. XAVIER 63, MARSHALL 67 Extending their road trip to the hills of West Virginia, the Big Blue encountered a favored Marshall team four days later and made a determined effort to register an upset in the waning minutes of the game. Charity tosses made up the margin of victory as both teams dropped through twenty-four field goals. XAVIER 53, KENTUCKY 58 The Musketeers continued on to the den of the Kentucky Wildcats where visitors have failed to win since 1943. This string of eighty-two consecutive wins on the home court never came closer to an end than it did before the slow-breaking Hirtmen, who kept the Wildcats on the run during the entire forty minutes. Although Bill Hoffer pitched in twelve points to lead the Battalion, it was the combined drive of the Xavier team that gave the Wildcats reason for hustling over and above the normal Kentucky efforts in winning a game at Lexington. XAVIER 53, TOLEDO 48 Near upsets became a reality before 2,100 fans in Memorial Fieldhouse on February 25, when the Toledo Rockets, supposedly headed for the National Invitational, caught the full fury of a team that had been denied victory all too often. Warning signals were in evi- dence to all as the Musketeers had nearly dumped Kentucky two days previously, but the Rockets had to be convinced that Xavier could execute a major upset. The first half was uncertain until the Blue forged ahead 29-24 at the intermission. Xavier maintained their lead all through the second half. -..aft n1I Ih EMERSON WILKE XAVIER 51, DAYTON 59 The Midwest Catholic Collegiate Tourna- ment in Cleveland on March 2, was the scene of the next Xavier encounter, and they were matched with Dayton, a team that had taken the measure of the Blue twice before in regular season play. Musketeer hopefuls pinned their dreams on the old third time is a charm adage but woke up to the realiza- tion that it was truly an adage and nothing more. XAVIER 54, CINCINNATI 53 journeying once more to the Cincinnati Garden where they had been limited to one win in five starts, the Musketeers came face to face with the high and mighty University of Cincinnati Bearcats. One local statistics specialist had the Crosstowners slotted in the number eleven national position with Xavier some distance down the line, but the Cats were rated as merely a strong eight point favorite by the more practical oddsmakers. What the Musketeers had on the evening of March 9 was enough to make up for every previous loss and ten more if such had been the state of affairs, for they hung a curtain of silence over the pretentious heads of the pre- game dopesters by tripping the Cats before nearly 8,000 frenzied fans. Bill Hoffer flipped through nineteen- points to spearhead the Xavier drive and sent X into the lead time and time again, while Art Morthorst cinched the game with his winning field goal in the last two minutes. Both men played their best game of the season in scoring and on the defensive side, but credit must be given to the sparkling performance of Bobby Dean, Bob Alston, Dick Korb, Bill Cady, and Jim Kartholl, for the victory was the supreme exemplification of a team triumph. GENE MIDDIE SMITH Top Scorer, 1949-50 XAVIER 74, MORRIS-HARVEY 53 Cincinnati's Invitational Tournament, March 17-18, opened with Xavier playing Morris-Harvey in the first round. The Big Blue trimmed the visitors. Morris-Harvey jumped to a 9-2 lead in the first four minutes of the game, but it faded away when Bill Cady began his Saint Patrick's Day scoring spree. Thereafter the Gold Eagles could only watch the Blue increase the margin as Cady, Dean, and Alston hit for the double digits. XAVIER 48, CINCINNATI 59 History was repeated in the final game of the C.I.T. as the Bearcats once again de- feated the Musketeers ir1 tournament play after losing to Xavier during season play. About 5,500 fans journeyed out to the Cin- cinnati Garden to see the two teams play for the Cincinnati Invitational title. Xavier erased a 21-8 lead set up by the Bearcats in the first minutes of play and went on to lead 28-27 at the intermission. Bill I-Ioffer spurred the Big Blue into the lead by netting seven points in a three-minute splurge. A second half Cin- cinnati rally with eleven minutes remaining settled the outcome of the game. Left to Right: Hoey, Eichner, Deihl, Volle, Ryan, Schaefers, Spraul, Weber, Rolfes, Campbell, Wilton, Reid, Granse CManagerD. wimming Something old, somethi11g new, something borrowed, something blue, . . . thus was the mid-century swimming team brought about at Xavier. All these qualifications were met in the latest addition to the Musketeer sport- ing scene since the something old was featured in the spirit prevalent among all representatives of Xavier in athletic endeavorg the something new in that the team was new to the athletic roster, the something borrowed was fulfilled in the person of genial Paul Hartlaub, famed coach of the highly successful Coca Cola Cokes, who was asked to form a team from the material that was available and to give the team a solid founda- tion upon which future ones could be built, the something blue could be observed in the colors the swim team carried in their five meets. A somewhat diversified group of swimming aspirants answered the call in late November, since they ranged from the pure novice stage to that of the highly talented, but Coach Hart- laub was able to round out a good team in time to open the season with Wittenberg College in Springfield, Ohio, on January 11. The Fighting Lutherans offered their best only to be downed 40-35 by a comparative group of newcomers in the sport. Following this encouraging opener the Musketeer mer- men met the Indianapolis Athletic Club in Cincinnati on january 22, but were defeated 45-30 by the visitors. Other losses were to Louisville, 40-35, Indianapolis Athletic Club, 48-27, and Louisville, 43-32. KCIAQLCLK As The Musketeer went to press, Xavier's 1950 baseball team was just getting under way with strenuous limbering-up exercises in preparation for a heavy schedule that would keep them hustling until the vacation months intervene in June. Coach Ned Wulk, begin- ning his second year as pilot of the diamond luminaries, was looking forward to the season in the hope that the Musketeers could better their 1949 season which boasted eight wins and four losses for a .666 percentage. A well- balanced veteran team gave him every reason to believe that this goal would be within reach provided the pitching staff remained in top form. Mound assignments were scheduled for last season's top hurler, Don Ruberg, and for Don Kay and Bill Schaefer, with Jim Gib- bons, Don Frondorf, and Hal Franke still working for a berth. The catching staff listed hold-overs Tom Courtney and john Harmon, with newcomer Paul Grilliot also making a strong bid for the receiver spot. Infield positions were being scrambled for by Jim Mason and Luther Weaver at first base, Bob Lisicky and Bob Vollman in the hot corner, and Stan Scherpenberg and Tom Mussio in the slot, while Bernie Roeckers was enjoying a tentative location at second base. Other infielders keeping the competi- tion keen were Herman Rassel, second base, Andy Ching, second or third, and John jones, second or shortstop. Big Blue outfield assignments seemed to be in favor of Bill Hoffer in left field, Paul Deiters in center field, and Dave Russell in right field. Tom Moehringer, a junior, was also a candidate for one of the outfield positions. Heavy hitters Don Ruberg, Bill Hoffer, and Dave Russell were giving numer- ous indications that they would again set the pace as they were sending long line drives deep into the outfield during early batting drills. 306' Coach Ray Tilton called all track candi- dates to their first meeting on February 13, to determine the men available for develop- ment of a top flight organization. The turn- out was encouraging in that many of the 1949 highlighters were returning to give Coach Tilton hope of a good mid-century season. Such stars as Ben Allen, captain- elect for 1950, Joe Vormohr, John Leugers, jack Such, Lee Hornback, Don Steltenkamp, joe Hess, John Muldoon, Fred Nicoulin, Lou Mastropaolo, George Dasbach, and Jim Marck were expected to be the mainstay of the Musketeer track team, whose season opener was to be with Wilmington College on April 28. A complete schedule not yet released at Musketeer press time was to include meets with such rivals as the University of Cin- cinnati, Dayton, and Miami. The season windup was to be the state meet at Ohio Wesleyan in June. A pair of meets was set for May 3 and for May 18, with the Big Blue visiting U.C. and Dayton respectively on those dates. Allen, one of the best dash men seen at Xavier in several years, was elected captain of the mid-century track team at the close of the 1949 season. He Well deserved the honor, since he highlighted the Xavier team in every meet in 1949 and was being heavily counted upon for many point contributions during the 1950 schedule. The Ohio Association of Track Coaches awarded Allen a certificate of merit for his brilliant one hundred yard dash in ten and one-tenth seconds during a meet at U. C. in 1949. Bob Finnell, another fine dash man who applies his track talent to football during the fall months, was also being relied upon for support in that department. Most of the distance running was assigned to the long legs of John Leugers and jack Such in the 1949 track events and they were ready to begin where they left off, with even greater determination to bring the Blue and White over the finish line first. The Hess twins, Bill on the pole vault and Joe tossing the discus, were preparing to keep Xavier well stocked in points from those divisions, while joe Vormohr and Jim Marek were shaping their arms for their longest shot puts ever. George Dasbach was resuming the strenuous burden of leading the hurdlers to a greater number of firsts. QW! At press time members of the mid-century golf team were in the process of getting their woods and irons in shape for the first welcome sign of spring. Their putters had the shiny characteristic of having seen winter action on the heavy tufted surface of a living room carpet while the facings of the other clubs were, for the most part, freshly cleaned and polished. Avon Fields was ready and waiting, but the break in the weather had not ap- peared so Coach Ray Baldwin and his golfers were restricted to nineteenth hole discussions of avoiding slices and making the most of a hook shot on a long, flat fairway. The pleasant outlook of having four re- turnees from the 1949 team caused Coach Baldwin to bear an expression of joyful expectation. These four golfers were Captain Jim Pater, Vince Bamber, Danny Dell, and Terry Dean, all of whom were consistent in hitting the low seventies last year. This same foursome will be expected to keep the Blue in the lead with their powerful drives, hole-high approach shots, and potent putting. Coach Baldwin had lined up a thirteen game schedule which will send the Musketeer linksman against the University of Kentucky in Lexington on April 6, and against Dayton in the Gem City, April 10. The Blue will play host to the Marshall College aggregation on April 19. On April 28 the golfers will meet the Louisville Cardinals in the Falls City for the first match of a home-and-home series. The Dayton Flyers will be on hand on May 1, to give the Blue a run for their money in Cin- cinnati. A triangle match between Wayne University, the University of Cincinnati, and Xavier with the Musketeers in the role of host will be played the following day. May 5 and 6 will find the Xavier niblickers opposing Eastern Kentucky and Marshall on their re- spective courses. Xavier will find the Eastern Kentucky team hot on their heels as they return to Cincinnati, since the two teams pair off for a final match on May 9. Next up for the Blue will be Louisville on May ll in Cincinnati and then the final Musketeer home match will be played against the University of Kentucky one week later. The season will be wrapped up with a match against Miami at Oxford on May 19 and a return game at the University of Cincinnati on the twenty-second. ennifi Tennis at mid-century Xavier appeared to have all the prospects of a highly successful season with the return of the entire 1949 team in view. Because of their experience and the expectation of additional material from Xavier racqueteer hopefuls, there was every indication of a winning combination for the Musketeer courtmen. Though it was uncertain at the time of publication, it was expected that Coach jack Jeffre would again assume the duties of directing the Musketeers. His commend- able job of Working out good teams in the past gave him the number one nomination for tennis coach in the mid-century year. Returnees for the coming season were expected to be jerry Fagel, captain of the 1949 team, who will be completing his fourth year of Xavier tennis, together with veterans Clarence Charlie Wobbe, Frank Milostan, Dick Berning, John Barron, Ted Wilke, and john Krisko. Tentatively set for carrying the brunt of the attack in the singles division were Wobbe, Berning, Milostan, Fagel, and Wilke. The doubles sets team up Fagel and Wobbe who alternate with Milostan and Berning. All eyes will be turned on sopho- more Dick Berning for repeat performances of the form he used to capture the majority of his matches in his first year on the team. Milostan, head man in the singles division last season, will again hold down that spot, barring unforeseen complications. Wobbe, ace racqueteer and avid devotee of the game, will be making his final efforts for the Blue and White along with Fagel since both face graduation in june. ,911 fl Cl,Ifl'Llfll 6L 5 Intramural sports during the 1949-50 mid- century period were once again under the highly capable direction of Coach Bill Feld- haus. His around-the-year project had an element of universal appeal for those in- terested in athletics, for the program of activities varied from table tennis to the more complex system of the ball diamond. Coach Feldhaus was able to stimulate the interest of many students who would other- wise overlook Xavier University's ideals in developing a sound mind in a sound body. The intramural games were set aside for those students who were not members of the varsity teams but who had an interest in their preferred athletic activity. As a supplemental part of the physical education plan to develop the student's body, it afforded the spirit of competition and the sense of accomplishment as a member of a co-ordinated team to en- courage the individual student in attaining a sound body. Following the pattern set up by Coach Feld- haus in the previous year, sixteen basketball teams formed two leagues to give the pro- gram a rousing send off. League I was headed throughout the campaign by Barracks 14 with nine wins and no losses. Barracks 10 ran a close second with eight wins and one loss while Barracks 7 took the show slot with a six and three record. In League II the top spot was deadlocked between the Marion 3-A quintet and the Elet 2-B group with seven wins and two losses in both instances. Elet 2-A grabbed third place honors with six victories in nine starts. The basketball play-offs boiled down to a red hot finish with Elet 2-A dropping before the finesse of Barracks 10 on March 14. Barracks 14 eliminated Elet 2-B the same evening to make a clean sweep for the Bar- racks side of the campus. The championship was decided on March 15 in the Fieldhouse when Banacks 10 defeated Barracks 14 by a 43-38 count. Bill johannig- man led the winners with seventeen points while Carl Seiler also tallied seventeen for Barracks 14. Officials in the play-offs were Ed Cross, George Graff, Tom Ballaban, and Dick McQuade. The table tennis tournament was yet un- decided at press time as it had not progressed beyond the second round. Still in the running ACTION IN INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL at this time were Don Phillips vs. joseph Pohlkamp, John Kisella, Ed Brandenberg vs. Paul O'Brien, George Glandorf, Frank De- Francis vs. Robert Mountel, and Pete Fox. Phillips and Fox drew first round byes while Kisella and Glandorf eliminated Eugene Sado and Dick Pohlkamp respectively. Semi-finals were scheduled for March 30 with the cham- pionship match to be played on April 5. Handball, a fast game requiring an unusual amount of dexterity and energy, enjoyed quite a following in the intramural agenda for the mid-century year. A handball tournament had reached the second round on March 15, with the following matches to be played before going on to the quarter finals: J. Ahrnann vs. Don Werner, Tom Brown vs. Harry Freyerg Bob Schneider vs. Ronald Williams, Bing Crowe vs. Herman Wernkeg Paul Misali vs. Bob Redmon. Father Mooney had advanced to the quarter finals by trouncing Gene Sheridan and was to engage the winner of the Ahrnann-Werner game. Bill Rooney also progressed to the quarter final stage of the meet by defeating Ken Wong in a see-saw battle 21-20, 20-21, and 21-20. His next foe was to depend on the outcome of the Crowe- Wernke match. Semi-final play was to ter- minate on April 3 with the championship match on April 5. f L gms 4 L w ,f.., M ff 'E fn 'XV 4845, X, H--lug wg? - W : 7 3-'sm-. W 1 fz-2.
