To many, he stands as the per- sonihcation of the strength, dignity, generosity, and practicality that must characterize any definition of Yale. Mr. Buck represents a vital force which expresses itself at both the administrative and personal levels of university life, and which will continue to do so for a good time to come. lt is in these terms-and not merely in those of long and devoted servicev-that we think of Mr. Buck in this dedication. Out of respect and gratitude for his presence at Yale, the Board is proud to dedicate the 1953 Bllllllff to him. NORMAN SYDNEY BUCK EDITORIAL BOARD Stanford H. Brainerd Old CIIIIIIJIIX Williani li.

Its plan was simple: to investigate the nature of the Yale manis attitudes and activities in several phases of his life as an undergraduate. Chief among these phases were academic, social, athletic, and extra-curricular. An insight into his standards and ambitions was gained through the inclusion of several questions relating to his goals at Yale and in later life. The political poll aimed at ascertaining the character of, and the basis for, the Yale man's preferences and predictions in the recent presidential campaign. Incidental to the Survey, but perhaps most interesting of all, were correlations of the results from the point of view of the pollee's membership in any of several groups.,' The facts for this survey were collected from two polls of over seventy questions each. The first was taken in October, 1952, during the fervor and excitement of a great political campaign. The second poll was dis- tributed in January, 1953, containing questions of a personal nature relating primarily to Yale life. When the results were tabulated, considerable effort was taken to correlate the findings so as to gain an element of interdepend- ence between questions and discover factors contributing to various trends. Two groups of Yale undergraduates were selected at random for the poll. The results were tabulated and correlated by the use of IBM machines at the Department of Applied Physiology. Faculty experts examined the poll and judged it statistically sound. The results are within 3.7729 repre:enta- tive of the undergraduate student body. The Yale Banner staff is grateful to Mrs. P. B. Lettis and to Dr. Robert Strauss of the Department of Applied Physiology whose kind help facilitated tabulating the polls. Bradford P. Shaw, 1954, drew the cartoons in this sectiong the graphs were drawn by Philip P. Durand, 1955. 2' Q.-2 -axle . , -1f ' f 'fi .ag M ., -, Q .V-,saw 1 I,-45 , V- ai ,cy in fi' j 5 y. , .frtfxt , f ll The Yale Man In 1953: An Analysis They have called todayys college men and women The Silent Generation -a generation in which ambitions have shrunk, in which there is a feeling that it is neither desirable nor prac- tical to do things that are different from what the next fellow is doing,', a generation which, uperhaps more than any of its predecessors . . . wants a good secure job. This was the picture painted of the college-aged sector of the popula- tion, it was a picture of intellectual stagnation, of political apathy, a picture of restraint and tepidity and resignation. Lacking the zest for life and the studied abandon of The Jazz Age, lacking even the dramatic despondency of the Lost Generation, they seemed caught in a web of futility and aimlessness. Born in the shadow of an economic upheaval, growing to adolescence against a background of world conflict, maturing in the face of political and ideological cleavage at every turn, they were the disillusioned products of a disordered World. Their characteristic atti- tude was indifference, their shibbolerh, security. At Yale the indictment of the generation found strong support and fervent denial. Sheward Hag- erty wrote in his class history of 1952, l'We had failed our youth. In the institutions and pat- terns of thought and actions of his fellow students he found no response, no sound or fury. This was the charge with which the Yale man was faced as he stepped reluctantly into an uncertain future. The Banner Poll was conducted in an effort to study the Yale man as he lived and as he thought in 1953. What were the basic trends and mo- tivations in his life at Yale? Was he characteristic of his generation? How well did he carry out in reality the goals of his ideals? What were the problems which concerned him, and how did he meet them in his daily life? How true was the indictment against him? With these questions as a base of operationsf, the pollsters queried the student concerning subjects ranging from his studies, to his opinion concerning service in the armed forces, to his aspirations for the future. These pages represent his answers. Perhaps one of the most striking facts about the Yale man in 1953 was the diversity of his Twenly background. The days of an enrollment composed almost entirely of New Englanders has passed with the Yale Fence and the P0f-P0'lH'Yij from the cos- mopolitan atmosphere which permeated the Yale community as the Banner went to press, it seemed to be an era which would not return, The 1953 student body hailed from 47 states and 50 foreign countries. The geographical distribution was matched in its scope by the size of the communities in which these students made their homes. Almost a quarter of them lived in towns of less than 10,000 popu- lation, while approximately IOQQ made their residence in New York City. Income was likewise a widely varying item: one out of five Yale families earned from 520,000 to 550,000 annually, but an almost equal number had a yearly income of under S6,000. This pattern was some- what typical of Yale itself in 1953-an odd but apparently cohesive mixture of old traditions and new innovations. Sons of rich men still came to Yale, but almost a third of the student body had scholarships of one type or another. In the class of 1935, 7792? had entered Yale from private schools, in the 1945 class the figures had dropped to 68.1f??. The class of 1955 dis- 2873 found it easy to beat the game uemsusr r warresane Six or more movies per month played a similar tendency as the prep-school sector fell to a three-fifths dominancyg a steadily rising flux of high school trained applicants seemed to indicate a continual leveling-off process in the immediate future. HE THINKS AND DOES . Academic More and more the Yale man, like other mem- bers of the college generation, was usinghis edu- cation with the idea of a future career in mind. The search for some sort of future security was reflected in the increased enrollment in the spe- cialized coursesg in its centennial year the En- gineering School was engaged in the training of over one-fifth of the student body. The greatest number majored in history, in 1953 there was less of the attitude, so prevalent in recent years, of making a success in the world of business simply because one was a Yale graduate. Only SW had averages under 70W, and one-third were members of the intellectual elite -the dean's list. lnflated grades had sent the gentleman's averagel' sky-rocketingg but the mark-lowering policy which was soon to come into effect bode no good for borderline cases. In- tellectual curiosity seemed to be on the down- grade, as less than ten percent audited courses. The Yale man spent an average of five hours a week studying for each course, and found the greatest enemies to study noise in rooms and laziness. Only one in three polled felt that he studied sufiiciently, and almost as many answered uyesv when asked Do you Hnd it easy to 'beat the game' and receive marks higher than you think to yourself that you deserve? fReferring to cram- ming, etc.j,' Studies seemed to be declining in importance in the undergraduate's mind, and few found that consistent work produced any appreciable results: in no grading area were those who studied less than four hours per week per subject less concentrated than those who studied up to nine hours per week per subject. The mark- ing system seemed to place a premium on I.Q., and relatively little value on diligent study. Extra-Curricular The Yale man has a strong desire for balance, for proficiency in many things. Yale, always an activity-ridden school, was more blessed-or cursed-than ever in 19535 F. Scott Fitzgerald,s observation that Princeton was for the social- minded, Harvard for the intellectuals and indi- vidualists, and Yale for the ambitious seemed to be just as accurate now as it was in 1920. Less than 40? felt that extra-curricular activities occupied an amount of time out of proportion to the benefit received from them. Three of five Yale men thought that extra-curricular activities were a measure of success in later life. Only one-fourth of those asked had no opinion either pro or con concerning the question, Do you feel that the contributions of Torch and Aurelian justify their existence? reflecting, perhaps, a lack of awareness of, or interest in, the activities of the honor societies. Over half felt that senior societies should be allowed to continue in their present form. Some degree of dissatisfaetion was increasingly evident, but, in general, the apex of the Yale triangle of success remained unshaken by the Vitriolic at- tacks on the umumbo-jumbov behind which their activities were largely cloaked, and on the ancient tribal rites of Tap Day. Athletic Over 90170 feel that athletics at Yale are prop- erly emphasized, but considerably fewer partici- pate. The most striking increase in recent years has been in the interest in inter-college and intra- mural athletics: 7075 call them essential and im- portant activities. A substantial majority of Yale men are opposed to increasing intersectional games on the varsity athletic schedule. Most students seemed to realize Twenty-one X v , A is .Jo15nas. y .. i i fi! X .2 r a I 41? expected to derive little or no benefit from future military service that to bring back those happy, golden, bygone days of Yale's ascendancy on the gridiron and the other fields of athletic endeavor would neces- sitate a sacrificing of the traditionally amateur character of Yale's sports, most were unwilling to make such a sacrifice in the form of athletic scholarships. Social One of every four Yale men belongs to one of the nine social fraternities on campus. There seems to be general satisfaction with the fraternity sys- tem itself, particularly among the members them- selves: 85? of fraternity men believe that there are enough men in fraternities, 75622: that they would join the same fraternity if given the oppor- tunity again. The prestige value of these organi- zations is low: most Yale men f60Zj are never impressedv by a man's membership in a particular fraternity. The white buckv school of thought concern- ing proper dress is witnessing a sharp decline in Eastern collegiate circles, but a new synonym for in the know, the right guy, etc. has derived its name from this movement which has spas- modically swept the country. Only 4261 wear white buckskin shoes, only half that number feel that they are shoe, Two-thirds think that 10-30? of Yale men are shoe, but the percent who consider themselves members of this group estimate the figures higher. Twenty-two Colleges ' The most striking fact about the Yale manls reaction to his college is his passivity. Location is the largest 09705 single factor in determining choice of a collegeg four-fifths say a student's membership in a particular college never affects an estimate of him. This lessening importance of the college in university life is further manifested in the facts that: aj only 15? feel that acquaintances with the faculty member and fellows of the college is as great as desired: bj half the students feel that the social pro- gram provided by the colleges is inadequate cj only 43? feel that the colleges could suc- cessfully replace the fraternities. The general dissatisfaction with the college sys- tem as it is presently conceived infects administra- tion as well as students. How long will the colleges continue as glorified dormitories, the fraternities as glorified barsv? These were questions in which were to be found the seeds of discontent and the demand for reform. Many found neither colleges nor fraternities adequate, crying for a plague o' both your houses. Habits Half of Yale smokes, four-fifths drink. The figure for non-drinkers in 1948 was 13mg this decreased imbibing is perhaps attributable to the departing of the veteran sector from the Yale scene. Apparently the Yale influence does not tend to increase either smoking or drinking appreciably, only one quarter of the smokers and drinkers began indulging after entering Yale. Rarely does the Yale man have time to do everything he wants to do, or even a small part of it. His leisure time is, however, a sacred por- tion of his life-he manages to maximize the opportunity for leisure, to set it, in many cases, above academic or intellectual striving. He reads only four novels a year but sees almost as many movies every month. Only 1327 read more than twentyi novels a year, approximately the same percentage see 120 movies per year. Visual enter- tainment is very much a part of the Yale scene, whether it be the Blackbeard the Pirate at the Roger Sherman or the Marciano fight on the college TV set. When he does read, it is usually a magazine. As in previous polls, the Luce publications were most popular by a comfortable margin with Life somewhat more, popular than Time. Jerry the newsie's cry of New Life, New Time, New York- ii, . af! V 3 er seemed admirably suited to his customers' tastes. The pocket-sized sex chronicles l.kewise had a rapid turnover on the shelves at Liggetts. One of five owns an automobile, while only 14'Zp consider the possession of a car useful and necessaryf' Cross-correlations conclusively indi- cate that car ownership has no appreciable effect on grades. The question of dating was a dominant factor in the series of crises which seemed to char- acterize life at Yale. Women, liquor, and no lights, was the description the Radclife News gave to a Yale weekend, and there were few who would argue its validity. The majority had two dates a month, smokers and drinkers, adding a third vice, had slightly more extensive dating activity. Almost half favored a weekend in New Haven to a date at a girls' college or in New York or Boston. The parietal regulations were the object of some tight squeezes and some notable violations. Two of three Yale men prefer Smith or Vassar to any other women's college, and the Bermuda shorts, so conspicuous on York Street in the spring, testify eloquently to this popularity. Military Service Five years ago three in five Yale men were veterans, today this figure is between 1 and ZW. Almost half of all students are members of one of the three branches of R.O.T.C., with the Depart- ment of Air Science alone representing nearly one quarter. About 75? see a khaki-colored fu- ture, which, in light of the present situation, would seem to indicate a fundamental acceptance of reality. But the characteristic attitude seems to be one of desire to remain out of the service as long as possibleg this desire, perhaps, is less a lack of patriotism than a disillusionment with the world with which they are faced after graduation -a world in which Americans are fighting a limited war, but a war in which death and injury seem remarkably unlimited. Few have illusions about the service: 8512 think two years' service in the armed forces will be of moderate or of little or no value. At the same time more than two-thirds favor universal military training. The results of the questions on this subject are a strange mixture of acceptance of the world situation with all its implications, and a desire to forego the heavy responsibilities and obligations left to this generation by those who have gone before. In a sense, this confusion and uncertainty seems to be characteristic of much of the attitude of the Silent Generation. Goals There was little evidence of any clearly defined set of goals in the Yale man's plans for life after college. Work, advanced study, marriage, a family -these were uppermost in his mind, but, like many of his ambitions and his hopes, his plans and his projects, they were sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought. The impending danger of war and military service seemed to be throwing ice water on the traditionally impetuous and tempestu- ous aspirations of youth. More than a third were undecided on a future career. There was little romanticism, little of the rushing into marriage which had become almost an expected part of the American scene in war time. The pollees were asked: Assuming you are engaged before leaving college and expected to enter the service immediately thereafter, would you . . . g almost half checked the alternative wait until after your service was done. Only one Yale man in a hundred thought that the best time for a college man to marry was during college. His goals at Yale show a considerably greater degree of decision and definition, but the cleavage between what he wants and what he is willing to go out and get is striking. Almost one half think that studies will be, in later life, the most valuable aspect of the Yale experienceg the same Bacchus holds sway with Venus-Drinking men averaged more dates I I I- ' Q - 1 P I -X All J'-4-fi' 'T ,gg , affair. ,fi 1g..i if .5 'v E-Effrfzf j 2 ef. fffgavr-'Q-r 'P' f34a-ff , 1- '57 1153.--...Pl 11 pgy Twenty'-lbrve sm Km 'MZ 1 If you could join only one, which would you join? percentage would choose Phi Beta Kappa-far above fraternity, senior society, varsity team, or extra-curricular activity--if they could belong to only one while at Yale. Few, however, were willing to make an effort suilicient to achieve a measure of mastery of their studies. On Yale William Buckley's thesis that Yale is atheistic and Hcolleetivisticn was consistently denied by those polled in the Banner Survey. About 7026 found that their political opinions had remained approximately the same since coming to Yaleg whether the strong traditional conservatism here reflected is a product of Yale or of the homes of its students was undeterminable. The collectivist theory in particular met with little agreement, only ZW felt that Yale should teach only the American System , 6022 that she should teach all systems impartiallyf, Over 90f?Q felt that Yale does not foster radical ideas. The uatheisticu charge was somewhat less decisively contradicted: two-thirds believed that Yale does not foster agnosticism. The Banner Survey determined that half of all Yale men knew too little about the Ford Founda- tion program to estimate the extent of its success, and that there was a general dissatisfaction with a community of the size and type of New Haven as a site for Yale. Lastly, a majority think that Yale's general national prestige is higher than that of Twenly-four both Princeton and Harvard. If his faith in the wide, wide world was somewhat shaken, the Yale man of 195 3 could still turn to his own, somewhat more limited World to find the assurance and secur- ity he so desired. There Are Groups . . What was the influence of groups on life at Yale? What effect did a man's membership in a particular classification, in a particular organization, have on his approach to or digression from the Yale norm? Did these sepa- rate groups -whether based on a difference in status or a difference in role of their component members-have an equal or unequal prominence on the Yale scene? Did membership in them by definition mark a man as different from h.s fel- lows? If so, was it a pattern of distinction which was manifested in all his activities and attitudes? Or was it more a sort of differential adjustment to the Yale standards which the individual groups fostered or discouraged? These were the questions which the Banner sur- veyors sought to answer as they correlated, cross- correlated, back-correlated, and cursed. As the proper percentages began to fall in their proper places, a general thesis became increasingly self- evident: Groups at Yale are singularly important, and singularly unimportant. Some groups have no effect on a member's attitudes or drives, some have profound influence. To substantiate this theory certain groups were asked a selected number of questions from the personal survey, the answers were compared with the findings of Various other groups. These are the results: Small town vs. large town seems to be a mean- ingless conflict at Yale. If anything, Don from Dubuque adjusts better socially than does the Park Avenue cliff-dweller who lives across the hall. The percentage of small-town boys in fraternities is, surprisingly enough, greater than the Yale average, the boys from smaller communities apparently feel more keenly the need for social contact, are more anxious to establish a social tie,' of some recog- nized sort. The same slight increase gap from the Yale average is seen in the small-town seniors who know three-fourths or more of the members of their colleges, and it is again manifested in the figures on dating: boys from relatively smaller towns date relatively more. Is Yale democratic socially? The answers in the large-city, small-town, and Yale aver- age columns are almost exactly equal. The size of one's home town, it seems, does not materially alter the degree of social adaptation or of outlook on the Yale social system. This group, the Banner surveyors agreed, appeared to be one of the least significant from the point of view of creating friction and producing a basis for social distinction. Considerably more significant was the high- school in contrast to the prep-school man. Here was a group that was formed before coming to Yale, but one which was to be of lasting cohesion over the years. Marquand's gently chiding pictures of loyalty to the old school found' a living exam- ple in the Yale of 1953, in many cases feeling for the memories of prep-school days superseded senti- ments for Yale. The prep-school group has become a more compact, more uniform group as the per- centage of high-school applicants increased, and with this compression into a smaller, more tightly- knit set has come the establishment of a definite set of characteristics, a definite set of values. High-school-educated students study harder 46271 from five to six hours per week per subjectj , find considerably more difficult the trick of beat- ing the game, as the survey termed it. Prep-school experience gives the advantages not only of greater span and depth of curriculum, more stringent disci- plinary training and higher grade of instruction, but a certain knack of studying as well: the prep school man knows, from years of practice, how to maximize grades while minimizing effort. The re- sult is, frequently, an intelligent person doing lim- ited work and getting grades far above what he deserves for his effort but far under what he is capable of getting. Fewer high-schoolers smoke, considerably fewer drink-of those Who do, a larger percentage began after entering Yale than the overall average. A much smaller portion 114191 of high school men join fraternities than the Yale average QZSWQ, more money, a smaller number with scholarships, a large group of upperclassmen known from pre- Yale days-these are the basic factors underlying the prep-school domination of the fraternity mem- bership rolls. The preparatory school is thus a fundamental differentiating factor on the Yale scene. As the high school ratio continues to rise, as high school education continues to approach the quality offered by a prep-school training, will the Twenty-five lf gl lheflfififk ,J fi' f ' is fx V7 C J .

Or will the private schools con- tinue to develop distinct, aloof characteristics? These were questions which only the pendulum of admissions policy could determine. One of the most disturbing patterns was that of study-groups and grade-groups. The hard studiers and the Dean's Listers were shown to be basically the same as the easy studiers and non-Dean's Listersi' in attitudes and activities. As mentioned earlier, those who classified them- selves hard studiers were no more concentrated in any range of grades than were the self-designated easy studiers. The Deanis List actually showed a larger percentage of those who crammed in an effort to beat the game than of those who fol- lowed a consistent daily study routine! Membership in R.O.T.C. seemed to affect grades little, a smaller percentage were on the Dean's List, but the difference was insignificant. Only slightly more Dean's List students, and only slightly more hard studiers had decided on a career, only slightly fewer movies a month were seen by Dean's List men, only slightly fewer Dean's List men partici- pated in athletics-they were more active in inter- college athletics. The number of dates one has per month seems not to have the expected corresponding effect on grades, Dean's List men actually have more dates per month than their less-blessed classmates. Twenty-six The only really noticeable gap is in expectation concerning military service: Dean's List feel even more strongly than the Yale average about the slight value of two years in service. Forty percent do not expect to go into the armed services before or shortly after graduation. Fraternities continue to be an integral part of the Yale scene. Unlike other schools where fra- ternities wield considerable campus political power, or where fraternity members take up four years' residence in the house, the Greek-letter organiza- tions at Yale are merely more advanced forms of eating and drinking clubs. The results of the Banner Survey would seem to indicate that fraternity men, like prep-school men, have developed certain distinct and characteristic patterns of thought. In some cases these patterns are rejected by the rest of the Yale community, more frequently, however, the fraternity system sets the pace and the tone of life throughout the undergraduate sector of the university. The non-drinkers among fraternity men are less than half the abstaining portion of the Yale aver- age. Considerably more fraternity men than non- fraternity men know large numbers of their classmates. Almost half of all fraternity members have three or more dates per month, the Yale aver- age is less than 300721. The Smith-Vassar combina- tion receives an even larger degree of approval among fraternity men than in the overall picture: four-fifths voted for one of these two colleges as their favorite, with Vassar alone counting for 4872 of the total fraternity votes. Less than a third of the fraternity men wear white buckskin shoes. Reaction against being typed, against a previously accepted Yalie trademark, against the general disfavorable conno- tations which accompany immediate conformity to imposed standards-these seem to be the basic mo- tives behind the reverse trend in footwear. More significant than the problem of what a Yale man wears, however, is what he thinks. And here is the area in which the fraternity psychology makes itself strikingly clear. Almost half of all students would select Phi Beta Kappa for Tau Beta Pi, the engineering school's corresponding groupj if they were allowed to choose only one such honor or achievement while at Yale, the fra- ternity figures are less than a third. The question as to the aspect of Yale life which would prove of most value after college showed similar gaps: fraternity men valued studies less, valuable friend- ships much less, social experiencev much more. Fraternity men thus seem to deemphasize the importance of academic endeavors and, in the so- cial phase of Yale life, tend to emphasize scope and latitude of acquaintanceship rather than the depth of close friendships. Whether these tendencies were basic in the fraternity man's make-up, or whether they were fraternity sponsored or induced was diffi- cult to determine, but whatever the cause, the result was clear: a definite line of division between groups, a definite friction between conflicting sets of values. The small set at Yale which considers itself shoe fsee earlier discussion under social j is only slightly at variance with the Yale norm in most aspects of university life. In the few cases where there is a noticeable difference, the shoe group tends to follow fraternity activities and values. Inconsistency of cross-correlated findings would seem to indicate that white shoe is in most cases a misnomer. Socially, white shoe men have a few more cars, a few more dates per month, and see the same number of movies as do their brown shoe or black shoe classmates. Paradoxically, as pointed out earlier, the categories have little or no relation to the actual color of one's shoes. This set studies less, prefers Vassar girls somewhat more, and has usually identical reading habits with the rest of Yale. In general, then, the white shoe group is nebulous and shifting, but with a small compact core at the center-a core which cannot even agree what constitutes membership and why. How does the passing of time affect the student,s acceptance or rejection of Yale's standards? What effect does the aging process have upon the fresh- man as he moves forward and into his senior year? Is he mellowed-or hardened? A trend toward maturity is increasingly ap- parent, but at the same time it is clear that the senior shows a marked inability to profit from the errors of earlier experience. One-fifth more of the class of 1953 had decided on a career than in the class of 1956, but there was still a substantial sector in each group which was undecided. As the freshman became the senior he would smoke more -an increase of almost 200123, he would drink more--only 6'ffQ, of seniors, one-third of the freshman class do not drink. His dating would steadily increase: only VZ of the class of 1956 dated from three to five times a month, over half the senior class did so. The senior would study considerably less than the freshman, only half as many would study over six hours for a subject in a week's time. This de- emphasizing of studies was perhaps most clearly shown in the answers to two of the questions men- tioned earlier: If you could belong to only one during your Yale career, to which one of the fol- lowing would you most like to belong?,' and What aspect of your Yale experience will be most valuable to you in later life? A marked decrease in the weight given to academic striving and a decided rise in the value placed upon eXtra-cur- ricular activity and social experience-these were the signs of the times. The starry-eyed freshman, with high hopes for the bright college years to come, emerges from the Yale experience with an altered set of values, an altered view of life outside Yale. Once again ready to take the first halting steps in a new adventure, a new challenge, the class of 1953 seemed to have doubts, conflicts, little certainty as to the future. The freshman had come full circle. . . . But Is There a Yale Mann? The questions which were posed at the outset of this section are overwhelming ones: What were The 2173 who considered themselves shoe saw more movies, had more dates and cars, showed a marked preference for Vassar l WITH L f , . 133.1 ' pf e 7 X c XC C -Ag if' ,wr :rj , f,..i-f , f Twerzly-xeuerz the basic trends and motivations . . . what were the Yale man's problems . . . how did he meet them . . . how true was the indictment against him? These were issues far beyond the limited scope of a seventy-question survey, they were is- sues which could be determined and delineated only in the light of events yet to come, in the stark black words of headlines yet to be written. But even in the limited area of present condi- tions, even in the relatively narrow context of Yale itself, certain hypotheses began to take form. First among these were theories of the basic pat- terns in Yale life-what makes the Yale man tick. The drives and motivations which characterized the Yale man in 1953 seemed suited in some re- spects to the rest of his generation, in other areas there was a measure of dissimilarity. What were these drives, and what were their effects? First in importance, perhaps, was a drive for con- formity and uniformity. The Yale man felt an impelling need to do as others did, to think as others thoughtg he seemed to feel an aversion to any activity of the mind or of the body which smacked of the radical. To be different was to be queer. And no matter what the loss of indi- viduality it entailed, this was largely the pattern which the Yale man followed. The traditional ladder of success appeared to be a fundamental tenet in the Yale scheme of things. The president of the Political Union had acidly etched the Yale success story in terms of Green- wich born, Andover bred, Fence polished, Bones tapped. A few would rebel against the system, would make bitter attacks against what was de- nounced as a hypocritical and shallow com- munity, but the vast majority not only abided by it, but stood by it. To most Yale men it was almost a religion-a faith which, though other values, other institutions might fall or shift, would con- tinue to be valid and recognized. To those outside the Yale community it was a mark of immaturity, of school-boy symbolism and hero-worship. To those who lived under the standards and values it enforced, it was, for four brief years, a way of life. To the thoughtful observer, one of the most striking aspects of the Yale scene is the cleavage between the ideal and reality, the ever-widening chasm between what the Yale man wanted and valued and the action he was willing to take to achieve these goals. The prime example is in his academic work: with rare but notable exceptions, the Yale man values studies above the other phases of his life at Yale, with even rarer exception, he Twrufy-eigbt is unwilling to sacrifice his heavily-occupied leisure time, unwilling to drop his characteristic attitude of indifference to give his studies an amount of time and effort commensurate with the value he places on them. Yale as a university is dedicated to Lux et Veritas, to her students, these words are frequently only empty slogans on full highball glasses. What of the so-called uindictmentf, the charges of stagnation and apathy and sterility which were leveled not only at the Yale man, but at his entire generation? How is the validity of these accusations supported or denied by the Survey? The answer is one of complexity and, in many cases, of relativism. The cautious withdrawal from the demands of life, the dearth of creative work, the sparseness of outspoken individualism-these seem to give a degree of credence to the Wasteland-like picture of the generation presented by its critics. There is little doubt that this era is one of inarticulation, of quiet but ever-present skepticism, of intellectual numbness. Historians will have pains to find a hero among the members of the past generation. There were few Merriwells in 1953, fewer Stovers. But is the indictment thus completely supported by the picture of the Yale man? The defenders of the generation cry out a loud and resounding denial. The 1948 Banner Survey found that The most outstanding characteristic of the Yale politi- cal community was apathy. Its 1953 counterpart reflected a sharply contrasting picture: the high interest in the political campaign and the ardent support of both candidates among students fsee Political Survey followingj was in direct refutal of the charges of stagnation and indifference. Indeed, the entire poll seemed to indicate that within this generation there is much that is hope- ful, much which is ignored by its critics. Professor Richard B. Sewall, speaking to the class of 1952, said, There has been more productive discussion and good argument in your generation at Yale than in any I can remember. Perhaps herein we find a key to the hope which still exists for the intellectual survival of the so-called Silent Generation. They are silent because there are no voluble martyrs, no fire-eaters, no silver-tongued orators. But in the classroom there is not silence. There the genera- tion is, in the words of Thornton Wilder, fashion- ing Twentieth-Century Man. It is in this setting that the generation recognizes that the time is out of joint, and it is against this background that it realizes that it was born to set it right. -P.Z. fb l'ourtesy of the .Vcw Haven Register , NM,-.- Yale in om Election Year American politics seemed to have reached a new point of departure. For two decades the Demo- cratic party had held sway over a shifting political, social, and economic scene. The era had seen in the early thirties one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, and ill-nourished , it saw, twenty years later, the fulfillment of the American dream--full employment. On the domestic scene, it had felt the birth pangs of a new concept of American government. Beyond the national borders, it had heard the death rattle of an aspiring foreign trium- virateg but it had soon witnessed a new threat -Communism--arising to threaten American security. As the atmosphere of the political arena began to tighten with the impending clash, the Demo- crats claimed credit for bringing prosperity and peace to the country, the Republicans charged that twenty years of Democratic political supremacy had brought with it corruption and inefficiency. How did the Yale man view the candidates and the issues of the day? Are 'radicals' or 'reactionariesl the more dan- gerous to what you consider the American way of life?', Seventy per cent checked 'radical'-a strik- ing contrast to the figure of 48 i recorded in answer to the same question asked in the 1948 Banner. Five years had seen a marked trend back to conservatism, fear of Communism and inquisi- torial 'Qsubversive lists was reflected in Yale's re- nunciation of radical thought and action. The American mixed economic system of government control of monopoly plus individual ownership came in for a high degree of favor. Eighty-three per cent thought it the best eco- nomic system for America , all alternatives to the left received a total of only 351. This was a campaign which held more interest for the Yale man than had any political event in many years. Candidates for both nominations- Taft, Kefauver, and Harriman-were Yale men. Adlai Stevenson was a Princetonian whose ties to the east were apparentg Dwight Eisenhower was the president of Columbia. To the eastern college student then, it was an election whose appeal could hardly be denied. How would you describe the intensity of your interest in the campaign?', Three of five Uexpressed opinions freelyng the Hgure was slightly higher in the sector favoring Eisenhower. At Yale, as will be noted later, the fashionable choice was Eisenhower, and Stevenson supporters were infrequently vocal, when they did speak, however, it was with a fervor and a faith approaching idolatry.

Platforms, more than personalities, were de- terminants of Yale's preferences PREDICTIONS AND PREFERENCES The Banner Survey studied the Yale man's out- look as election day neared and found a parallel to the trend seen in the national public opinion polls. Sixty-nine per cent favored Eisenhower, and fifty-five per cent thought he would win the elec- tion, while Yale was more heavily Republican than the nation, her predictions were almost exactly correct. This prediction-preference pattern was re- peated throughout the poll. Those students whose families earned less than 510,000 annually were more thickly concentrated behind Stevenson than was Yale as a whole. The Democrats, campaigning and winning elections for twenty years on a prosperity-stylei' platform, thus held a substantial sector of the vote of Yale's lower economic strata. Fraternity men were considerably stronger for Eisenhower than was the average Yale man, reflecting, perhaps, a background of money and economic interests set off to a certain degree from the non-fraternity area of the student body. More significant than these relatively minor aberra- tions was the lack of sharply divided group characteristics. By and large, groups seemed to have little or no effect on the political atitudes on campus, most sentiments were apparently wide- spread and tended to cross the traditionally fric- tional lines of in-groups and out-groups. PERSONALITIES AND PLATFORMS The Survey asked Do you think the majority of Americals voters are swayed in their choice by platform, personalities, or emotional reaction? Few C1810 thought the voting public was inter- Thirty ested in the issues of the platforms, indeed the platforms were frequently so nearly identical as to make a choice based on such a factor virtually im- possible. But 682, of Yalemen thought the plat- form most influential in determining their own votes. The question of personalities Qwhich 407, said was most importantj was a complex one, the Eisenhower symbol and the Stevenson phenomenon have been and will be the subject of endless dis- cussion. The broad grin and infectious laugh of a conquering hero home from the wars, the charm and sincerity of a witty intellectual bred in the tradition of political service-these were qualities which endeared both candidates to wide and vary- ing sectors of the American public. Eisenhower's arms, upraised in the symbol of victory, Steven- son,s quiet smile and chiding quip-millions of Americans came to anticipate and to love these gestures and trademarks, millions came to identify themselves with each. What were the important issues of the day? Yale's answers are as interesting in many cases as are the preferences and the attitudes. When asked to check in the list below the issues you consider most important in the current campaign, the Yale man replied in this manner: 1. Corruption 2. Foreign policy 3. Inflation 4. Change of administration 5. Korean situation The answers of the Eisenhower and Stevenson supporters to this question were studied separately. With the exception of creeping socialism checked frequently by the Ike men and civil rights' by the Stevenson supporters, the results were substan- tially the same. Apparently the issues of the day were fairly widely accepted as such, party con- siderations seemed only infrequently to color the Yale observer's objectivity. This trend at Yale may be considered parallel to the widespread junking of traditional party-determined attitudes on election day. If Eisenhower is elected, do you think the pri- mary reason would be that people want a change? Three of four Yale men said yes. Thus, while only ten percent of the pollees themselves thought change of administration an important issue, a much greater portion thought this would be a fun- damental determinant in the final decision. Much of the weight given to the throw the rascals out sentiment can, of course, be traced to its basic inter-relation to virtually every other issue of the campaign. How did Yale feel about the outgoing president, Harry S. Truman? Only 3f72 called the man from Missouri great',g 2722 said above averagef, Ap- proximately one third termed Truman's presidency poor,', the remainder C36Wj said less than ade- quatef, Fraternity members differed little from this evaluation, as did those who thought them- selves well informedf' Notable group attitudes: of the Stevenson supporters, over three Hfths thought him great or above average. Only 16532 of the Eisenhower backers fell into these categories. Truman, one of the most controversial presidents in American history, thus came in for some wither- ing criticism and some new-found admiration on the Yale scene. A little man in a big jobf' he was called by his critics, guts and a sense of his- tory, said a Yale Daily News editorial, following a similar one in the New Yorker. Whatever the final evaluation of history, one fact remained un- contested: he had been faced with some of the most momentous decisions ever forced upon a single individual. The Secretary of State is traditionally under fire from many and varied sources, not supported by any lobby groups or pressure groups, he is pro- verbially the lightning rod, the scape goat for the administration. Dean Acheson was no excep- tiong the Republican National Convention saw both keynoter MacArthur and ex-president Hoover credit him with almost exclusive blame for a sub- stantial part of the woes of the world. The Yale community tended to be a good deal more favor- able to Yale-man Acheson: 7.8f4' thought his foreign policy excellent, 4S.72'f good, but im- perfect. Almost 4021 thought it poor, but only six per cent called it tantamount to treason, as McCarthy viewed it. As expected, Stevenson sup- porters were twice as concentrated in those cate- gories favoring his foreign policy. Ninety-eight per cent thought Stevenson's poli- cies as president would be 'gas good or better' than Truman'sg 4295 thought Truman's active cam- paigning for Stevenson would be detrimental to the success of the Illinois governor. The post-elec- tion analyses by national experts bore out this latter opinion to a certain degree. Many political second-guessers have put forth the theory that many of the 33 million Americans who voted for Eisenhower were in actuality registering protests against Truman. The Republican camp likewise had its share of personalities. Among the best known was Senator Robert A. Taft, one of Yale's most prominent sons. Eighty-five per cent thought Mr. Republi- can would have had less chance of election than did Eisenhower. For the first time in many years the Grand Old Party was attempting to push the Old Guard to the rear ranks, to show New Faces of 1952 to the American people. It was an ex- ceedingly successful policy. Less than a third of the pollees thought Ike's affiliation with Taft would be helpful to him. Disgust at the Morningside Heights embrace was apparentin certain sectors of the undergraduate body. Would the inheritance of important Senate chairmanships by Republicans of 'murderers' row, such as Taft, McCarthy, Jenner, and Capehart, be dangerous to the security and well-being of our country?

The replies are as follows: Yale Stevenson Eisenhower Average Supporters Supporters Much too much 265W 3.2'Z 38279 A bit wo much 37.9W new 41W About right 31.275 seek 1872 Not enough 4.4W 8.412 375 These flgures reflect an expectedly strong desire among Stevenson backers to retain the status quo, and a tendency among Eisenhower supporters to condemn the concept of strong federal government which blossomed during the early years of the New Deal and flourished through the Fair Deal era. The issues precipitated by the New and Fair Deal administrations met with varying response among those polled by the Survey. Seventy-one per cent considered these programs at least par- tially contrary to their concept of the American system of free enterprisef, Stevenson supporters were only about half so concentrated in these categories. Pollees were questioned considering nine basic tenets of the Fair Deal program. It was in this series of answers that one of the most interesting comments on the Yale political scene came to light. As noted above, the Yale man was overwhelmingly f69'Zyj for Eisenhower, and he considered the New and Fair Deal programs contrary to the con- cept of free enterprise. But the individual sec- tions of the Truman Fair Deal platform met with an amazing degree of favor. This paradox can be traced to inconsistency or to an ignorance of po- litical matters on the part of the Yale man. But the high degree of interest evinced, not only in the results of the Survey but in many phases of campus activity during the campaign, tends to belie so harsh a judgment. It would seem that the trend to castigate the New and Fair Deals, so fashionable at Yale, overweighted what was an actual approval of many of the individual pro- grams. Seventy-two per cent favored public power projects, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority. Ninety-four per cent of those who preferred Stevenson were in this group. The only sector of the pollees which did not overwhelmingly approve of such projects was the group which felt that issues of socialism and public power most impor- tantv in the campaign. Two-thirds approved of federal low-cost hous- ing and 6911 favored the current program of social security benefits. A similar percentage was in favor of rent controls, and an only slightly SOW thought that Eisenhower would be at least moderately controlled by the Old Guard wing of his party S 1:-pf , 'ififf ' ' L 125'-, - Q. , Qiiifffg J jg,-vzzv si!

Sixty-four per cent approved of the Fair Employment Practices Act. Cnly in the cases of parity support of farm prices,', federal ownership of offshore oil, and federal health insurance did the pollees display disapproval of Fair Deal programs. Strangely enough one of the issues, parity support of farm prices, was written into both the Democratic and Republican platforms.

The Yale man seemed to have adopted a rela- tively calm attitude toward Marxism. A new course on the subject, presenting a critical analy- sis of Marxism, was taught simultaneously as Philosophy 23b and Political Science SSb. This course, aimed at showing that the issues in question were not totally black and white, emphasized that the Lenin-Stalin execution of Communism was far removed from the system as conceived by Marx. Only HZ thought party-afhliated Communists and fellow-travelers should be executed as sub- Thirty-three versives and spies, a majority felt that the course of action should be investigation and watching, Three of four Yale men expected war with Russia, many felt that Joseph Stalin's death-which came in early March, after the poll was completed- would increase the chances of immediate conflict. Opinions were sharply divided as to where the primary blame lay for the loss of China to the N Communists. Forty-five per cent thought it un- avoidable due to the weakness of the Nationalist regime, but an almost equally large number found the fault in America's ignorance or stupidity. American entrance into Korea was given a much greater degree of backing, SSW affirmed this pol- icy when asked Did the United States take the proper action in 1950 by intervening when South Korea was invaded by the Communists? There was agreement on at least one other phase of American foreign policy. Two thirds thought strengthening the non-communist world mili- tarily the best means to assuring peace, and 63? favored continued high level of economic and military aid to Western Europe. CONCLUSIONS As shown earlier, platform and issues played a leading role in the political frame of mind of the Yale man in an election year. Personalities likewise seemed to have a decided eifectg of those who had changed their choice of candidates since September, 85? had switched from Eisenhower to Stevenson. a Republican, would you . . . Eighty-two per cent of Eisenhower supporters said switch to Stevensonf' Thus interplay of the Stevenson per- sonality and the Republican platform was evident. Crossing of traditional party lines was a common occurrence on both sides of the political fence, but the time for a change sentiment ulti- mately exerted the greater appeal. Despite the strength of this spirit, however, Stevenson seemed to emerge from his defeat undiminished in statureg rarely in American history had a candidate lost so magnificently, though so overwhelmingly. In general, pollees followed the choice of their fathers, on the occasion when there was a break from parental preference, it was in the direction of Stevenson. As noted in the personal poll, con- formity was a major element in Yale thought. Politically, too, there were few who would resist the tide of popular opinion. Yale perhaps had less confidence than the rest of America in Eisenhower the man, but as a symbol of political upheaval he received a high degree of approbation. At Yale the prevalent attitude seemed to be one which stemmed from and was conditioned by the combined effects of background, platform and per- sonalities, and a desire to conform. What was the single most dominant factor could be determined no more here than over the nationg each element played its part in the atmosphere of the climate of opinioni' which existed at Yale in 1952.

The Arnold Air Society The Arnold Air Society is a national, honorary organization of advanced students in the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps. It was conceived during the spring and summer of 1947 at the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. General H. H. Arnold au- thorized the use of his name in December of 1947 and the organization received official acceptance by the United States Air Force on April 6, 1948. During the year 1949, the Arnold Air Society be- came a national organization consisting of squad- rons at twenty universities and colleges. After the death of General Arnold, General James Doolittle became the National Honorary Commander. The first National Conclave was held at Cin- cinnati, Ohio on March 4, 1950 and has been fol- lowed annually by National Conclaves in various areas of the country. At present, there are six Arnold Air Society areas subordinate to the na- tional headquarters and squadrons at 147 colleges and universities throughout the country. The mem- Fifty-eight bers of the Arnold Air Society can be identified by the blue and gold fourragere which is worn on the left shoulder of the Air Force uniform. The Arnold Air Society chapter at Yale was founded last year by the senior Air Force ROTC students, who were then members of Cannon and Castle. They applied to and were granted a charter from the national headquarters, chose a name for the squadron, and elected the juniors to carry on the organization this year. The Yale Squadron is named in honor of Julian Cornell Biddle, the hrst Yaleman to be killed in an aircraft during war. This year, under the leadership of Charles Cu- lotta, its president, the squadron expanded to its present size of twenty senior and twelve junior members. The activities this year have been largely organizational and representatives attended both the Area Meeting at Cornell this fall and the National Conclave at Los Angeles over Thanks- giving vacation.

In 1732 he conveyed his farm to the College to establish graduate scholarships, and a valuable collection of books for the Col- lege Library. Standard Oil Gothic can produce , but in the last few years, we have shown a new characteristic, a 'real college spirit. Upon reviewing the activities and events of this year, it is amazing to see just how much went on in Uncle Tom's Cabin . Even last spring the in- coming sophomores began to realize what living in Berkeley would mean when they attended our College Weekend activities. Beginning with an old fashioned melodrama on Friday, and rapidly gather- ing momentum Saturday afternoon at Deer Lake Camp, the program ignored the drizzle and the dampness and finished with a rousing square dance Saturday evening. Keeping such social tradition up to par is no easy matter, but this fall the work was carried on THOMAS C. MENDENHALL II, Master by the extravaganza-planning concern of Craven and Zimmerman. There were well-attended dances on all big weekends, and an experimental milk punch party on Princeton weekend which also proved successful. This capable firm is responsible for supplying Berkeley's favorite combustible, Old Tennis Shoe Punchn. Even once in a while, the whole college is caught up in pursuing a common goal, and the Barkeley forces unite with the Boikeley boys to achieve some great end. There was Columbia weekend, when Fred Reichel and Weldon Smith led a high-spirited rally in the dining hall after the game. Again, the claims of Southern tradition united some of the members to celebrate Lee's birthday by hanging a large Con- federate flag from that benevolent elk's head that irreverent Northerners had named Robert E. ln a more serious vein, we anxiously listened for the reports of the condition of Dick Mears, when he was seriously hurt in an auto accident, and were all happy to see him back after Christmas. Like most colleges, Berkeley has a drama group, the Players',, but unlike most colleges this aggre- gation stages two plays each year. This year's Christmas production, Orlando Furioso , featured Bennet Wfood as the hero and Ted Hesser as his overripe lady, with Jim Loeb as a docile, green plastic dragon. Chief player, Russ Rhodes, worked hard on his cast for Volpone , the spring pres- entation, starring Bob Hock. The talent of this group assures it of a wildly enthusiastic audience at all performances. Eighty-one Even debate, which usually ranks just below stamp-collecting as a spectator sport, has captured a following. This surge of interest partly results from the practice of debating girls schools, so that debates have become interesting as well as educa- tional. Also, the showmanship of Berkeley speakers like Walt Stuhr and Lew Uhler has added thrills to the program. At the Silliman de- bate this year, feelings ran so high and tension was so great that one of our opponents fainted dead away during his own speech. Such a wide-open, free-for-all style has put Berkeley ahead in the contest for the Adams Trophy, symbol of oratorical superiority. As for the rest of the year, George Fayen, who is Grand Dragon of the home forces, predicts that the cause of Truth, i.e. Berkeley, will prevail. ' Youngest College Wfeekly' is the editorial boast of the High Street Herald. Appearing bi- weekly, the multi-paged newspaper investigated everything from Mr. Mendenhall's bulldog to olive consumption on ocean liners. Dave Toy, the poor but honest editor of this fearless publication, com- mands a staff of columnists and reporters like Don McCabe, Herb Stevenson, Walt Pease, and Lyn Bronson. Once we even had a short story from the files of Gene Q'Live-a-Little Prakapas. Although the paper is now multigraphed, the installation of an official looking press promised a real printed edition. In the meantime, the press was available for Berkeley men interested in making money. Comparing favorably with university singing groups, the Bishop's Devils had an active sched- ule throughout the winter. They were heard de- Iiigbly-luv scribing Anabelle Birbyn at the Princeton weekend dance, and since then the twelve Nelson Eddys have been practicing for appearances with the Apollo Glee Club and for some solo programs. Ed Rowell, who leads the group, and Bob Mitchell Qfirst pitch-pipej are responsible for training and lubricating the outfit. Our activities haven't been restricted to the col- lege alone, for the newly-organized Boy's Club has worked in one of New Havenis housing proj- ects. Club leaders l.ke Charlie Safford and Charlie Lanclefeld have organized groups meeting weekly at the project, while other members supervise YMCA recreation on Saturday. Chairman Bill Bertini has also arranged free trips to athletic events, which the leaders enjoy as much as the kids. Last November was election time, so John Single- ton, who runs the Berkeley Forum, prepared a program in which two of our fellows gave reasons for believing that their candidate would win. The climax was to be Professor Doob's prediction on the basis of public opinion research. Realizing that attendance at Woody I.ovejoy's snack bar would be cut on elec- tion night if everybody knew what the results would be, Pro- fessor Doob only gave indications and left us in suspense. Other Forum speakers were Professor Fesler, who spoke on Africa, and President Griswold, who met informally with us to discuss Yale problems. Lounging, listening to records, or studying had become top in- door sports since Berkeley's new music room opened. During the fall, Professor Southworth and Fred Lothrop planned and super- intended the conversion of the barracks into a comfortable room with high-Hdelity audio equip- ment that any engineering student could learn to operate in three weeks. The music room had al- ready become a rendezvous for the Poor Man's Metropolitan on Saturday afternoon, and was offer- ing open competition to wrestling on week nights. Evidently there was something to satisfy every taste in Berkeley, for if the organized activities and high-brow entertainment took too much time and effort, you could always stop and watch Chick Brott and John Varanese capturing tricks at the bridge table or maybe play a hand yourself. If you needed a little exercise, there was always the pool table, ping-pong, or the basketball hoop in squash court two. And if it was a Christmas or birthday present you were worried about, you just saw Dick Sylvester in the woodshop, and he would show you how to make that sawhorse for Aunt Minnie or that gunstoek for the girl at Vassar. Good colleges are old colleges, and old colleges have traditions. Therefore we've been busy growing all sorts of traditions. Newest of these is the musi- cal xoiree, an evening when talent from the col- lege, like the Bishop's Devils , combines with university groups and our own piping voices to render the old favorites. Although in its third year, the soiree couldn't compete with the venerable ath- letic contest which occurs each year in the north court. Here, after a small collation in the Menden- hall garden, the Berkeley crew competed with the Berkeley players in a rough-and-tumble game of croquet. Tempers were sometimes frayed by the last wicket, and only strict court etiquette could avoid scenes of violence. The rally before the Cal- houn football game has also become an institution, and in recent years our Clare College exchange student impersonated the Bishop in delivering a stirring plea for victory to the team. Each year of the eollege's existence has been marked by the celebration on March twelfth of Bishop Berkeley's birthday. Begun by an early- morning communion service, the day was climaxed by a dinner which was attended by all the fellows in their academic robes. Following the dinner, some noted speakers addressed the assembled college on topics of general interest. It was all quite im- pressive, and it looked very, very traditional. In order that the world might become aware of our excellence, various members have done their bit to spread our fame. Vassar learned about Berke- ley men from Jim Grange, whose portrayal of Earthquake McGoon was an unforgettable ex- perience. New Haven was aroused when its fire department came to protect us from the conflagra- tion in 613 that consumed one arm-chair. The campus learned to recognize us by the crutches that almost became standard equipment when Savard, Reid, Dickson, Wilson, and Neff were all hobbling around. New York and the Great West found out about us through the literary efforts of Dwight Bartholo- mew and the radio appearance of Bob Lundquist. The publication of Dwight's letter in the New Yorker showed us what may happen if those letters to our parents are foo interesting, while Bob's in- terview on Welcome Travelerv indicated the value of looking lost and hungry in a railway station. All told, Berkeley received a good deal of free publicity. Yet another facet of the college should receive some mention, and that is the group of Fellows who have lived in Berkeley a great deal longer than we have. Some of them, like Mr. Burchell and Mr. Heald, served as advisors to undergraduate groups. Others, such as Mr. Hemingway and Mr. Latour- ette, led informal seminars in subjects of special interest. Many more participated in the Forum, or helped with special projects. We realized that it was always difficult to improve faculty-student re- lations, so the efforts of our Fellows were gratefully recognized. Actually, the mainspring of a college is its mas- ter. He sets the pace and defines the goals for much of its activity. On his shoulders rests the responsi- bility for tying administration, faculty, and stu- dents together. If the previous statements about Berkeleyis spirit hold any truth, much of the credit for that spirit belongs to Mr. Mendenhall. His genuine interest in and enthusiasm for the college and its members have built a real foundation for the attitudes that characterize Berkeley for us. Lots of ideas have come from T. C. M., and many of them have proved enormously beneficial to the college. He is gleefully ready to listen to new schemes and often can make helpful, though some- times radical, suggestions. Anyone who wants to move Connecticut College to the Old Campus will find a sympathetic ear at the Berkeley Master's Office. Despite his duties as administrator, Mr. Mendenhall finds time to be a good host. The entry parties that the Mendenhalls supervise are always pleasant evenings and welcome excuses to relax for a while from study. Berkeley men are proud of their Master, whether he is clowning in a college play or reporting as the chairman of a university commission. Every college has its own marks of distinction, for in spite of all the Dean's Office can do, there are no two alike. Here in Berkeley we like our location, our wild life, our view, our tunnel, and our architecture, but we still claim that the im- portant feature of the college can only be seen at a Master's tea, a football game with the 'Houn, or a production by the Players. It's simply that there are plenty of Berkeley men there, interested in the activities of their college, participating themselves, and applauding their friends. Maybe the college system still has a long way to go, but for many of us, it has been responsible for three busy, happy years.-HUGH G. ANDERSON Efghfy-four . Berkeley College 0 again, for the third con- secutive year, was the proud holder of the Tyng Cup and, from the excellent record compiled thus far, are hopeful of claiming it again. The football team, led and coached by co-cap- tains Tom Neff and Bob Dickson, took honors in their division by winning the North League cham- pionship and then proceeded to subdue Branford for the intercollege title. Dick Reid, Don McCabe, Newman, Fritts, and Smith provided the offensive punch in the backfield, while Nat Hughes, Jim Grange, Stubbs, Stevenson, Busch, and Richman led a light but tough line which provided the necessary holes. The soccer team, led by Steve Wilson and Howie Hobson, also finished in the first division. Aiding the captains on defense were Bryce Schnell, Russ M .. R w , x. -. Rhodes, Jim Loeb, and Adam Kleppner, while ace booters on the line included Dick Copp, Mike Edes, and Francis Hoffmann. The Mitre touch team, employing an atomic attack, led by Tom Noyes and Stu Schaefer, suc- ceeded in putting Berkeley in third place. In indi- vidual sports, Bob McCollough came through with a win in the fall tennis tournament. With the opening of the winter season the Mitre men showed excellent form. The basketball team, captained by Glen Lipely and coached by Dick Reid, began their campaign in quest of their fourth consecutive championship with veterans XVahlers and Caplan along with newcomers Savard, Campbell, and Vojir seeing action. The BU squad, with Stu Schaefer at the helm, began the defense of its intercollcge title, paced by Fred Reichel. A confident quintet of John Coleman, Manny, Bartholomew, Nelson, and Workman aimed at the squash championship for the second year in a row. Co-captains Kean Block and Jim Brouwer put in their bid for the swimming championship backed by Priest and Hesser, with juniors Felenstein, West, and Willcox ably assisting. A revitalized handball team of Grange, Leete, MacCormac, and Minus eyed the season with title hopes. Herb Stevenson and Bob Dickson in wrestling, and Jesse Goodspeed and Marsh Waddell in boxing repeated their championship performances. The strongest hockey team the college has skated in many years provided a winning season for the sextet. Captains Bill Gray and Woody Lovejoy tcok great pride in their squad, sparked by Bob Winters and Vin McDonnell. The spring season again saw the Mitre men fielding the strong teams necessary for their retainment of the Tyng Cup. A title-seeking baseball squad featured the heavy hitting of Neff, Lipely, Lemire, and Parker. The potentially strong soft- X ball team was very ably captained by Jess Goodspeed. Commodore Menden- hall aided Captain Tom Stout in developing a powerful crew. With tennis and golf well manned from last year, the Battling Bishops had their goal in sight.-JAMES R. LOEB Eigfzfyfjfzx I All Branford is divided into three courts, but Magister Buck rules over all with the serenity and equanimity which comes from long years of sub- jugating recalcitrant freshmen. Under his guidance, ever livened and brightened by that institution of Warmth and humor known as Mrs. Buck, Branford in June of 1953 has survived the ravages of ice storm, the UnAmerican Activities Committee, and the genteel orgies of Dartmouth and College week- ends, and with some pride spews its four score seniors out into the waiting world. In the election year Branford was not left out- side the political ferment. The Tower Bulletinf' hitherto the bulwark of conservatism, took an NORMAN S. BUCK, Master Eigbly-six BRANPORD COLLEGE editorial plunge and found, on November 4th, that it was all wet. The reaction was shattering, how- ever. Dick Murphy, the boy with I Like Ike tattooed on his forehead, led the Branford Young Republicans in an attempt to bomb the pressroom, while the gargoyles on Harkness Tower publicly cancelled .their subscriptions. The Branford Debating Team, whipped into fighting trim under the rostrum-ruthless Steve Hosmer, climaxed a long winning skein by vic- toriously defending the negative side in a debate with Vassar on the subject: Resolved that cows should be made to wear bras. Unsupportable! bellowed Hosmer. Udder nonsense, chortled teammates Wormser and Saunders. Mountain Day brought vans of lusty wenches from the North to the gates of Branford, many of whom were turned away by clean-living Bran- ford men who suspected their motives. Paul Dietche, leader of the Purity Forever forces was quoted as declaring, Girls who come to Branford for reasons other than intellectual companionship and . BRAN FORD COLLEGE takes its name from the town where ten Connecticut Congregational ministers met in 1701, and founded the Collegiate School which became Yale. It comprises the buildings in the southern half of the Memorial Quadrangle. cultural exchange will be sadly disappointed. Bran- ford will not yield to the disintegrating forces of hard drink and other snares of the flesh. When questioned as to why his curtains were drawn on Mountain Day, Dietche maintained that he was merely showing his young lady friend his luminous wrist watch dial. Through a complete fracture of the separation of powers principle, Clark McConnell obtained a dangerous power monopoly by becoming both Chief Aide and President of the Branford Council. A member of the bread-and-circuses school of benevolent despotism, Clark and his council co- horts, Bjorn, Frank Smith, Holding, and Lombardi, were responsible for the very successful Dartmouth weekend activities and the organized aspects of the College Weekend bacclmnal. For his efforts in the latter event, McConnell awarded Hobart Mc- Whorter the l'Good Citizenship medal. McWhor- ter, it was learned, spent all Sunday at the Branford picnic trying to organize a game of stoop tag. Wilder Baker, formerly of Nedick's, has reported that business at the Milk Bar increased considerably when Stefanelli was forced to wear a shirt when 'P behind the counter. Among Branford's other subterranean activities is the carpentry shop which with the new power tools donated by the Fellows has been building a portable stage for the use of the Branford Dramatic Association. As for the progress of the Branford darkroom habitues, George Senn indicated that in- terest is developing, but he refused to enlarge upon this statement. Parent's Day brought droves of starry-eyed and hopelessly naive progenitors into Branford and the magic of it all. Campus guards were alerted in order to squelch any my-pa-can-lick-your-pa fights. The only mishap of the day, however, oc- curred when Chris Parker's parents surprised him in his room just as he snatched his bottle of gin from his young lady-friend. They didn't know he touched either! A Doug Graham is still scanning Variety for a review of the Branford Dramatic Association's presentation of The Lost Silk Hat, evidently not content with the tumult of guffaws with which the performance was greeted by the Branford au- diences. Dick Schrieber again excelled but many missed his grapefruit-bolstered voluptuous curves of the new legendary Androcles and the Lion. Dave Sell, we hear, is still turning away the stage- door johnnies. Princeton weekend at Branford took the theme of a moral victory as the launching point for the most frenzied series of alcoholic extravaganzas known to party-loving humanity. Members of the third court fabricated a huge Skin that Pussyn sign while Pete Smith, standing on a dining hall table that he might be seen above the crowd, lec- tured in the low roar of his native idiom on The Virtues of Imbibition Without Inhibition. Upon his acceptance of a Rhodes Scholarship, Bob Anthony received an ecstatic cablegram from Princess Margaret Rose, who promises Bob a warm welcome in her traditionally low-cut gown. Exemplifying Branford participation in the Yale scene, Dudley Coates set his suede-shoed foot down against a certain dean's encroachments on the fraternity system, while the Branford Coun- cil devised another of the famous Branford Plans, this time the genius of Dick Steadman. Bob Broussard, Paul Joseph and Bob Glass, un- daunted by the failure of the Clemency for the Rosenbergs' movement and always ready to come to the aid of the persecuted, founded the Clem- ency for Minot Jelken movement which enlisted the full sympathies of all clean-living, fun-loving Branford men. Rumors that they have been paid off in merchandise have proven to be totally er- roneous. Bill Rhangos, the most elected-to guy at Yale, averted near tragedy by beating down a breach of promise suit from an itinerant under- water strip tease artiste. She's all wet, Bill de- al ,n3 clared as his bathroom bass voice began another chorus of l'Asleep in the Deepf, Branford blinked its eyes in disbelief when the traditional parsimony of the dining hall manage- ment was repudiated by the introduction of Larger milk glasses. Although closer inspection has proven that the increase is almost an optical illusion, Bob Glass attributed his lightweight boxing champion- ship to just that added increment of nourishment. Merit was cited this fall when football captain Joe Mitinger was given a good sportsmanship award and a testimonial dinner for not seizing an opportunity to trample the Harvard fullback Clasby in the Yale-Harvard game. Recognition also is due to George Rapp, the civilized engineer, Whose devotion to the important office of senior counselor was above and beyond all duty. In the interests of culturally enlightening and accli- mating his proteges, George offered to properly qualified sophomores a seminar in Advanced Ken- tucky Gentlemanshipn and a series of lectures dealing with the problem of 'QHOW to Stir Mar- tinis With a Slide Rulef' Fashion news this year was almost made by Branford's Jack Page who threatened to appear at Commencement exercises in a specially tailored leopard-skin cap and gown. Jack has confided that his wardrobe, down to the very last dragon shirt, has been supplied to him free of charge by J. Press, Inc., who feel that it stimulates business. The beautiful Christmas dinner, with candle- light and Christmas music, once again filled the hearts of Branford men with the joy of the season, and their stomachs with turkey and plum pudding. While attempting to light a cigarette from his flaming pudding, Jerry Payne suffered a terrible loss in the rapid oxidation of his luxuriant mus- tache. Rising above the tragedy inherent in the situation, Payne sounded his rich tenor voice in sev- eral bars of Q'Brunhilde's Immolationf, Another sad accident occurred when Hugh Ravenscroft nearly electrocuted himself when the tape recorder with which he was recording his voice in the shower short-circuited. Fred McDougal spent a busy year writing auto- graphs for ambitious young ladies who pretended to have seen his starring performance in last yearis Branford movie. Willie Arndt, leaving no stone unturned, pounded the pavement selling the Newt, 75,' to New Haven high-schoolers with the dubi- ous assertion, Better than Mickey Spillaneli' In the world of sport, a whole entry was dis- Eigblj'-:lille abled by skiing disasters during the three day holi- day between terms. Apart from Al Wormser's broken leg, Ron Murray's sprained ankles, and Charley McKenney's first-try fracture, Bill Wal- dron laid the highest claim to glory as his bobsled capsized while rocketing down the stairway of Phil Gray's house in a pre-race trial run. In the squash ladder, Lloyd Thomas rose to preeminence by challenging those above him while they were in the shower, or just as they were about to go to Smith for the weekend. Default is all mine, confessed Thomas smugly. Branford took up a collection to persuade Don Taylor from bringing his luscious lady friend into the dining hall during exam period, but after a few days of visual celibacy took up another col- lection to bring her back again. Spring came and brought with it George Peterson's traditional mint julep garden parties in the moat, and Lachelier, Alexander, and Ram- berg held their first room cleaning orgy in four years. Under Ramberg's bed were excavated two lions couchant, a three color lithograph of Blue Boy, and several dusty old bottles of Sacco and Vanzetti, 1927. The joi df' Vivre of the season also struck the Branford members of the Wesley Foundation who, under the benign guidance of Norm Thomas, held a rollicking Easter egg hunt in the court. John Carr played the Easter Bunny while Ed Poitras and Dick Babcock lcd discussion groups on the topic: Jack Armstrong-The Man, The Legend? A realistic step toward social harmony was achieved in the segregation of certain elements of the Branford senior class into the notorous Suite Sixteen. An attempt to extend the spirit of the Benevolent Protective Order of Moose into the Yale scene, the action was jointly conceived by esoterites Engel, Kasischke, Penwell, Bright, O'Donnell, Sheldon, Brown, Jackson, Pearce, Martin, and McWhorter. They pooled furniture, carpets, and pornographic picture collections to transform the top floor suite of the Dwight entry into a super-luxurious penthouse pleasure palace, complete with TV set and murals by Diego Smith. lt's been a quieter year for the rest of us. This June, the departing Branford seniors smiled tolerantly upon their less fortunate class- mates who dwelt in other colleges. They knew that without actually living there it would be difficult to realize that Branford is the gentlemen's college. The privacy of the individual is respected. No Branford man need fear being yanked out of his arm chair to voluntarily participatev in a May-pole dance in the courtg no one takes muster at the Master's teas. Branford does not suffer under the responsibility of preserving a tradition of studied bacchanal, nor is it the haven of little knots of uelitesf' It represents an advanced transi- tional stage in the growth of the ideal College System in that for those who seek it, there is every opportunity for companionship, conviviality, and the fulfillment of possibly the pleasantest three years of a man's life.-THOMAS B. CONGDON, JR. Ninely f . i ' Branford's football . team under the expert tutelage of ex-varsity greats, Tom Pearce, Marty Kasischke, and Ray Bright had great hopes of copping the South League title. With a wealth of returning lcrtermen, some experienced sophomores, and Princeton's powerful single-wing offense, the Towermen edged a strong Calhoun team, 6-0. The Senators found their opponent's varied attack too difficult to master. Having more spirit than ability, Davenport finally succumbed to a last half surge, 19-0. Only a last second display of broken field running by Barry Seymour enabled Branford to squeak out a win, 6-0, over Pierson. The next hurdle was a big Saybrook team. Although they had lost to a powerful J.E., Saybrook scored first but Branford tied it quickly in a long pass play l'We played our best game at Smith. Branford's squash, handball, and swimming teams, with help from sophomores, found much- needed depth and recorded winning seasons. The squash team was capably led by Warren Ransom and George Spaeth, while coach Hob McWhorter was able to produce a powerful swimming team. The Towermen also continued their winning ways in hockey under the able leadership of John Knox. and the game ended in a 6-6 tie. The Towermen edged .I.E., winning the South League title with the dubious distinction of playing Berkeley, peren- nial powerhouse of the North League. Branford made it 7-O early in the game. Ace Barklay, Tower fullback, was caught behind his goal line for a safety. Berkcleyis T-formation attack was finally able to push over a touchdown in the late minutes with the final score reading 9-7, Berkeley. Branford dumped Dunster House 7-6 in the Yale-Harvard house contests. The team's attack was speared by Toots Tucker, Hob McWhorter, Ace Barclay, and the Tailback Twins, Doug and Barry Seymour, Lineplay of Capt. Bob Petsinger and Punch', Atterbury was noteworthy on of- fense and of Bob Johnson and George Fetherston on defense. The soccer team, after being doormats for many years, compiled an undefeated, twice tied record and walked away with the title. Walt Pincus cap- tained and coached the fine team, sparked by Jan Tumlir, Pete Cameron and Charlie McKenney. The touch team had its worst season in years, win- ning but one game, Captain Penwell remarking, In basketball the scene was again typical of Branford. The A team, led by Captain Jim Mc- Grath and record scorer Bevo Barton and such able players as Frank Smith, Ed Molloy, and Tony Srefanelli, showed excellent form. The B basket- ball team, captained by Pete Radulovic, was not to be outdone and turned in a winning record. The spring season brought both encouragement and spirit as the teams fielded in the hopes of Branford,s successful challenge of the Tyng Cup compiled impressive records. Stan Ruland and his baseball nine, smiling Pete Radulovic with his soft- ball squad, and the Tower crew, led by Hank Harper, all did their part toward this end. -DELOS PENWELL ,- n.wg'wn1FW , Wh, , M if iam , . 14 AI N ,, - ki, , - Z4 .

The fun was big, the surprises were big, everything but the amount of space allotted to each person in which to live was big. Ninety neophyte sophs appeared this fall and began to take over. They filtered in with the end of summer, found that their big-brother counselors and bigger-brother faculty advisors had forgotten, for the most part, who they were, but had good sense to make themselves known in a big hurry. Trolley Day-a holiday inaugurated by John C. Calhoun in one of his many visits to New Haven, no doubt-seemed as good an excuse as any for having a party to meet the sophomores, so Chief Woodsum took his rip-snorting aides, staff down into the catacombs for beer and pretzels. The Calhoun string band struck up. Sandy Spence, Jack Taylor, Al French, and Tim Prentice brought out their guitars and the court-yard really rang until it began to rain, but only clothes, not spirits, got dampened and we all stayed around to hear Bob fThe Oxj Talley deliver himself of some erudite and well-chosen words on Calhoun foot- ball. Then Bill Duncan, athletic secretary, gave forth for a spell, the big year was in full swing. It was partly the people who made it big. The first thing most of us discovered was the big switch in the Master,s Office. It was still Patty, all right, but this was a New-man, and she was the big smile. The Master's Office became the center of attraction and the aides' staff began to meet all its hours for the first time in years. Wertz and Ellis were constantly washing windows and Luxemburger, the wonder man, went on con- tinuous sprees of activity which left the maids, janitors, and aides open-mouthed. Gradually, how- ever, the college osmosed the intrusion and re- turned to even keel. But more was to come! The dining hall doors were finally pried open and there were new faces there, too. Miss French, the big sleuth, proved to be a gem and we've eaten like we have never eaten before. Miss French became the big sleuth in January when it was discovered that she'd been playing detective on the side. The next thing we knew, Bert Walker, the big hand, had sent out his money-men for the Chari- ties Drive, and Sandy Muir and his boys had the college under full-scale seige. It meant a slight tightening in the wallet, but an over-the-top showing for Calhoun. The squeeze cut us down to dinner dances on Cornell and Dartmouth week- ends, but both were great successes, proving to be even bigger squeezes. For all of us, it was the first time the football team had put together a win over either of them since we came to Yale. This alone was enough for celebration. Stan Brain- erd and his entertainment gang really did well by us. Everyone was there and rumor has it that even John Morley had a date. The Seven aug- mented the fun with some of their great singing. Prentice and Dick Barrett in the lead looked like they'd never had so much fun. Princeton weekend didn't reflect the disappoint- ment of the loss in the Bowl. The dance expanded to an all-evening affair in the dining hall, with a great orchestra and a happy, if smallish, group of the faithful. Pulchritude abounded among the Nindy-lbrre visitors. In one corner, for some unaccountable reason, could be found Bruce OBrien and Dr. Schroeder, Yale,s number one and two misogynists, plotting the publication of a compendium cn the stupidity of having anything to do with women. Meanwhile the Spizzwinks passed through and were applauded until they had exhausted their entire repertoire. Even Jim MacNider got a chance to solo. The year continued to pick up momentum. The boys over in Entry A rallied around the big manf, George Pisk, and began the All-College Invitational Bridge Tournament which will crown its winners with a brick-bat on graduation day. jim Wooten, too concerned with the tremendous responsibility of keeping WBIB on the air, just watched while Chris Pottle, the big wire, teamed up with Jerry Moffatt to keep the entire campus, Divinity and Nursing schools included, supplied with music on Saturday morning. The varsity football team supplied us with a big kick now and then, especially when room 476 scored all the points in the Brown game. Chief Woodsum just lay in bed on Sunday morning and listened to Pareells, Talley, and Deen read the paper out loud. Dick Polich, the big mari, joined with Charley Deen in making predictions about the games: Oh, welll take Navy all right- by about twof' Then there was a man named Yeager, who is supposed to have been lucky enough to have caught a pass during the Harvard game- which caused all kinds of trouble and piled to insignificance the fact that only three weeks before the college's two-to-one choice for the presi- iX'iz1rly-fm: 1' dency had won the election. Yeager was lauded by Time and Life, same as Ike, but he also had a rather vociferous and late-retiring group of serenaders, who chose the hour between three and four in the morning to add to their praises. And there were other people who made the year a big one. Christy Emerson, Bert Wfalker, and I-Iarvey Zarem seemed to have a monopoly on the Class Fund and the information on '53, And also out of the confines of E entry came a brand new face. It was mid-terms before msst of us found that Bill Emerson was really a Iiellow of the col- lege and not a sophomore. By that time he had helped to make the faculty-student relations the best ever in Calhoun. One of our outstanding men was stolen right from under our noses and shipped off to Timothy Dwight. It was Mr. Bergin, who signs his name El Supremo, who came up with the big appointment, and Calhoun had to see one of its best off. During Christmas vacation, Calhoun learned to its deep sorrow that it had seen another of its best friends off. Campus guard Bob Griffith had died, and Calhoun had lost a good friend. It was a sadness in which all of us participated. Winter had arrived, although the skiers were still a little unsure just where it was. With it came the big Christmas party. Few have forgotten it. Entry E, which has picked up the name cf the big marchf, because, according to some wag, its vicinity looks like the penguin cage at the Zoo on Thursday night about seven o'clock, produced a great oletime melo-dramer to start off the evening. As the men who were involved will firmly assert, there was only one actor in the play. That was big jawn Bush, who had found the opus, called The Drunkardf' somewhere in Texas last summer. Two months of practice established Bruce Bates, the prompter, as the star of the show. There were men serving beer throughout the audi- eneeg there was a gentleman holding up signs say- ing Applaud', or Hiss g there was a piano under Ted Torrance, who had tied pennies to most of the strings. Before the audience swept as brilliant a set of characters as has ever appeared on the stage. Kerry Donovan acted as Grandmother of pretty, Winsome, eight-year-old Horse Moran, who can't be more than six-feet-four even with his shoes on. Bert Walker played Mamma, in the gen- eration in between. Christy Emerson swept in and out in a long black cape, effectively drawing up forged wills and making things hard for hero John Bush, who spent most of the time in a some- what inebriated condition. It was svelte Jim Mersereau as The Crazy Sister who really carried along the action by finding the real will! With a great crescendo, the entire company then ambushed the villain as he sought to destroy the evidence, and there was nothing, after all, for him to do but to make a great speech explaining the plot to the bewildered audience and then be trundled eff to jail. Santa Claus arrived on the scene shortly after the thespians left. Santa Claus, helper, whose name was Long John Farrell, spent the time while most of the gifts were being distributed in wandering around the campus in search of an odd piece of the Yale fence. He found a loose one right in front of Dean Whiteman's oflice and brought it back for Santa to bestow upon Russ Reynolds, the big wheel, who was representing the Fence Club. All the old institutions, and a couple of new ones, also helped to make the year a big one. Slinker Sliney kept his lackeys at the milk bar dishing out late-bait to the crowd of evening theatre-goers who hovered about the television set holding the big watch each night. In the search for new diversion two sophs, Jules Cohen and Pete Phelps, established Calhoun's answer to the Bishojfs Devils and the Icfsiers. The singing group, better known as the big noise,,' found itself with a sad lack in the first tenor section, but Dick Hannegan and Chet Natunewicz gave it a try. The result was a bad case of laryngitis for both and the determina- tion on the part of the singing group to postpone their Vfoolsey Hall appearance until next year. Chet went back to being Calhoun's big brain, while Hannegan returned to captaining the fenc- ing team. The Calhoun debate team also threw a hat into the ring, Duane Malm acted as boss this year, while seniors Bill Guest, Jack Ross, and Charley Johnson struggled to duplicate last year's phe- nomenal record. All went well until the first de- bate, but a good time was had by all. After the debate team had left the Fellows' Lounge of an evening, the Calhoun Council would take over. Ed Wfoodsum emerged as Chairman of the august body, while Bruce O'Brien, better known as the big sleep, scribbled the notes in the corner. Jerry Turner, Ted Campbell, Wally Schiff, Bob Redpath, and Dick Polich functioned also. Tom Coleman got the college interested in opera and the Library Committee, with a new less-liquid but no less-amusing policy, supplied the library with opera by phonograph record. It was a big year. As always the biggest factor was the big heart, to be found in the Master's House. As always, the college found itself indebted to the big boss for most of what made it a big year. To Dr. and Mrs. Schroeder goes the credit for the great morale which characterized every facet of Calhoun life. This will be one of the strongest memories when the big handf' the big man, the big wiref' and all the other bigs think back to Calhoun College. -EDWARD F. CAMPBELL, JR. Ninety-six ' This year, as last, . the Calhoun warriors donned the traditional ,Houn armor of casuafness and set out in quest of the elusive Tyng Cup, missing for the past three years from the college dining hall. The Calhoun athletic program, managed by athletic secretary Bill Duncan and assistant Tom Swartz, had a strong start in the fall. In spite of the loss of such stalwarts as Bindy Banker and Ed Moran to the jayvee, Calhoun finished second only to Berkeley in football. Coached by Bob Talley, Tom Swartz and co-captain Jim Mersereau sparked the Calhoun offense while co-captain Lou Sinks, Dick Hughes, John Morley, and Dave Merrifield were stalwarts on defense. sum and Wally Sweet achieved recognition as consistent point-getters for the basketball A team, Dick Hughes and Bob Parcells proved instru- mental in projecting the Bn squad into the upper brackets. The 'Houn swimming team lost a heartbreaking decision to Timothy Dwight for its first defeat in two years, but finished in the runner-up posi- Out to avenge last year's scoreless eleven, the soccer team achieved its goal by winning six, losing two, and tying one. Captain Curt Wood, filling the center halfback slot, excelled both on the offense and defense while Neil Ransick and Carl Wolff fired the forward line and fullback Bill Duncan succeeded in booting everything on the field except the ball. Coach Tucker Warner tried hard to field a touch football team, but the going was rough as the varsity hockey squad appropriated such speedy men as Larry Noble and Dan Lufkin. As a result we finished uncomfortably near the cellar. The winter sports were very encouraging. While player-coach Tom Swartz together with Ed Wood- tion. Bob Wood and Jimmy Greenway were out- standing in the free-style events, Frank Henry and Curt Wood copped many points in the back- stroke and Zeke Grossmann and Bill Duncan out- swam most opposition in the breast-stroke. Captain Curt Wood led the squash team to the championship with ease, dropping only a few individual matches. Bert Lummus and Warren Seides won their share of the victory laurels. Coach Dan Lufkin and Captain Bruce Bates, ably assisted by Bill Mapel and Baird Brittingham, skated a strong, fast-playing hockey squad. The prospects for the spring season were very good. The baseball team fought hard with such gladiators as Ed Woodsum, Charlie Deen and Daw- son Shoemaker. Softball counted on such veterans as Tom Swartz, Bill Morse, and Harris Ashton. Jules Cohen and Si Spengler sported favorable proficiency in tennis while Bill Black and Larry Noble bore the weight of the ,Houn hopes in the golf matches. Crew coach Ted Fuger had a well- balanced eight including returning oarsmen Stan Brainerd, Russ Reynolds, and Bob Redpath. -WILLIAM Y. DUNCAN, III D VE PORT COLLEGE Q DAVENPORT COLLEGE commemo- rates the Reverend john Davenport, one of the founders of New Haven Colony in 1638 and a constant advocate of the es- tablishment of a college in the Colony. A change has come over Davenport this year. just what its extent may be is hard to say, yet it is certain that a new atmosphere pervades the college. The one really casual college on the Yale scene is not quite so casual anymore. The change may be due to the large increase in the number of scholars in the Sophomore class. The list of scholars of the first and second rank is most impressive, and four Sophomores, Jim Griffin, Eugene Haupt, Joe Hutner, and Eldred Mundth, were high enough to be honored by the Yale Club of New York at a special dinner. Or it may be that the change is due to a closer contact with the fellows than has heretofore been achieved. Barry Farrell and Lou Wiggin, executive fellows of the college, have shown considerable interest DAN1i1L MERRIMAN, Muxfvr in daily undergraduate activities. French and Rus- sian tables have been functioning admirably well in the dining hall. But it is probable that the new spirit in Davenport Cfor such we may call itj can be traced to the large increase of in-college activities. For the Hrst time in several years, the Hybrid Herald has seen regular publication dates. A new all-inclusive entertainment ticket for Davenport was instituted by Bob O'Connell's committee, which simplified the budget-making for college parties. Ted Sizer organized a new Davenport glee club to sing at the Christmas party. More and more tournaments, including one for bridge enthusiasts, have been held. A football rally preceded the Davenport-Saybrook game, a rally of considerable proportions. It was held in the late K -Q ' f ,K my in z 'P uw . U JA P ,,,.,1.,.,.-I g 7n '?

The annual dinner, the first week of the term, came off with its usual success, though unfortunately Mr. Merriman was kept away by unidentihed captors. Professor Pierson ofliciated with great aplomb, however, and all awards were duly presented. Tom Witherspoon and Cam DeVore received the john V. Farwell award, given for the first time this year. The Helen Davenport Fessenden Memorial scholarships were presented to Eugene Haupt, John Terry, and Bill Canby. Ted Sizer received the Emerson Tuttle Cup. The first week in October saw another traditional event- Smith Mountain Day. The Lower Court was filled with happy-go-lucky visitors, and several first- floor rooms provided beer. Frank Jewett's fiftieth- hand piano was moved out into the court for a press photographer to play, in spite of the loss of several piano wires. Even in the course of this annual event, however, a new tradition was begun, Jim Hamilton and other juniors had become re- sponsible for the elaborate beer party. Last year's party-givers had also been juniors, and therefore it looked like the junior class would be in charge of Smith-Mountain-Day arrangements in che future. A host of parties continued throughout the fall. The Cornell weekend saw the first of the year's in-college dances, a 6 to 9 dinner dance. A lively band of Wittstein's, and an unidentified red-head Qfrom Bard Collegej, contributed to a resounding success. The Lafayette weekend saw parents enjoy- ing themselves at a large open house given by Mr. and Mrs. Merriman after the game. And then came time for the big game, Princeton. Having carefully remained absent for the Dartmouth game fthe first time in three yearsj, the rain came in a deluge for the important one this year. The drooping spirits of D,porters were revived One bumlrml by another Qand superbj Wittstein performance, however, and even critics of the new ticket system for Princeton-club members had to admit that there was still room enough to do the Charleston. The Harvard game was sparked by Hovey Free- m a n ' s stop-in-Providence-omthe-way-to-the- gamew party. The Christmas party, highlighted by Professor Tinker's entertaining reading, was a fitting finale to the term. College Weekend in May was, as usual, quite an event. The college was invaded by Northamp- ton 'fvisitorsv on Thursday afternoon, and by Friday the long-anticipated festivities were well under way. The highlight was the dance Saturday night, though the band bore a remarkable simi- larity to previous Davenport ones. Sunday, pic- nickers congregated at the Sizerfs once more for a day in the country. It was a tired college that hit the books that night. The year has seen a number of activities of a less formal nature. Probably the best remembered were the long television evenings when the music room was crowded with avid campaign followers. Stevenson had appeared on the Green in early September, and the latter part of October saw Eisenhower put in an appearance. Excitement grew as the day of reckoning approached, all other activities were dropped on election night. The Bankers were understood to have celebrated the victory with champagne-the college had regis- tered its approval of Eisenhower in a News poll several weeks before. The common room was also busy this year. It was not uncommon for industri- ous Diporters C What's that, you say, Charlie?Uj on the way to the library to stumble into a fishing club flick. Under Mr. Merriman's tutelage, the club has grown by leaps and bounds, and techni- color flicks have been almost a weekly occurrence. In the fall it was widely rumored that the dis- covery of a pre-historic and extinct species of fish off the African coast had upset certain calcu- lations made by eminent authorities who were con- nected with the Bingham Oceanographic Lab, but Mr. Merriman was unfortunately not available for comment. D'porters also recalled the paper air-raid signs which greeted the eye in September. They were vaguely reminiscent of our worries about the draft during the past several years, but soon all thought of them disappeared. Full attention was given to the World Series games instead. Other changes have taken place. In the dining hall, hours of meals were extended, thereby re-insti- tuting the quiet, relaxed life of two years ago. No more hectic rushing to dinner on Monday nights, no more rising at the crack of dawn. And half-way through the first term, the dining hall established an even more pleasing system, milk glasses became almost large enough to satisfy everyone. In another sphere, the college has like- wise seen an overhauling, for it has not been un- common to see service-bureau employees stripping off damaged tiles, painting rooms, replacing bricks, and filling cracks with mortar. The incessant pounding early one morning caused one irate sleeper to berate the plumbing CHI thought it was the radiatorsuj. Several of our worthy cohorts fBob Wenzel, Ray Shainberg, and Peter Rosen- blattj found married life more to their liking, and though residing outside the college this year, their crestfallen condition soon became apparent to all. A pleasant time-honored custom was continued this year, Mr. Merriman's brandy parties for mem- bers of the college and fellows. Wednesday evenings saw the common room filled with the tinkling of glasses, and, in at least several cases, students struck up a real friendship with the fellows. Then of course we cannot overlook the Monday-night 415 Om' bzrrzilrwl nm' parties given by Mr. and Mrs. Merriman in their home, with a huge supply of assorted beverages on hand and yet the quiet, informal atmosphere which reflected the best in the old Davenport tradition. Miss D, who was responsible for the day-to-day administration of the college, knew more about us than we suspected, and except at those unfortunate times when she had to go out to put a nickel in the meter, she was always avail- able for consultation. In spite of the decrease in campus police, George and Joe still guarded the gate. A hot cup of coffee with them late at night was quite reviving. Bob Cowell Cchief aidej, Ed Meese Clibrarianj, and Bob Agman fathletic aidej were ably assisted by a number of juniors and sophomores. Pete Giesen and Bob Agman did an admirable job on the Hybrid Herald, and Leigh Quinn was elected to the Junior Prom committee. Dick Suisman led the college over-the-top in the Charities Drive in October. just preceding Ned Blake's successful blood drive. In the late fall, Bob Cowell fwith his tartan sport coat that resembled a Christmas treej became president of Davenport Debate. Yet it is the little things that we shall remember: the struggle between oflicialdom and Jim Porter over his parakeets, the Minnesota reunion in Weyer- hauser's room on Dartmouth weekend, the beer flowing downstairs after the Princeton game, the weekly Pink Pign parties in 1361, the snow in December and ice storm in January, Dick Devine and his Florida suntan, Alexander Kerensky dining with noted political science students, the im- promptu performance at the common-room piano in the winter, the State of the Union message, golf and paddle ball in the Lower Court Qand resulting window assessmentsj, jerry Jones, foot- ball, Mase Willrich,s soccer, Ed Meese on T.V., and Fowke,s performance in the Dramat. These and many more memories will stay with us as a reminder of a year in Davenport well spent. -ROLLIN M. WARNER, JR. Om' laumlreal two ' Upon the fields of . athletic e n d e a v o r , Davenport made its usual persistent effort to es- cape the darkness of the nether regions and, as the year progressed, there appeared to be substantial hope that this could be accomplished. The fall season was highlighted by a strong soccer team which, although permitting only four goals to be scored against it throughout the season, had to settle for second place behind Branford. Consistent performances by captain Frank Stanley, Rocky Bonsal, Reg Foster, Jack Joslyn, and Bernie Rogers helped to vanquish all rivals except Bran- ford and Berkeley. The football squads, tackle and touch, met with less success. Coached by Ed Ryan, co-captains Bob O'Connell and Paul Spadone shared the back- field duties with Brooks Robinson, Charlie Ferrari, Merv Haskel, and Nick Carter. Against j.E. and Branford the Hybrids showed little scoring punch, but the tilt was highlighted by some very tena- cious line play by Max Dickinson, Charlie Good- year, Jack Curtin, Charlie Coleman, and Jack Letts. Against Saybrook it took a last-second, fourth down end sweep to defeat Davenport, but the tide turned with a 25-O slaughter of T.D. The Pierson and Winthrop House fHarvardj struggles both ended in stalemates, as the Hybrids played consistently hard and usually effective ball. The touch team, led by jack Willett, closed out the season with a 2-6-1 for a 7th place league tie. Fred Frank, Jay Winokur, Bill Warfel, Hal Sand- ford, Win Carrick, Ned Fagen, and Dick Devine led the squad's attack throughout the season. The winter season was a relatively successful one with most of the Hybrid teams turning out consistently good performances. While the hockey squad tended to steal the sports spotlight, squash, handball, and basketball teams were strong enough to challenge and defeat many of the league's top teams. The swimming squad, composed mostly of sophomores, held its own against all competition. The teams included: basketball A, Winokur, Frank, Ryan, Polk, and Ed DeValoisg B, Pete Giesen, Dixie Bell, Val Weber, Ed Saltzstein, and Carrick, handball, the Maguire brothers, Rich Haskel, Ferrari, and Fellow Matt Walton, squash, Mace Willrich, Marty Whitmer, Dave Eldredge, Dave Banker, Al Englander, Murray Vernon, and Fellow Lew Wiggin. Although no championship spring teams were expected, Hybrid followers were not disappointed in the performances of their squads. Crew, led by Ty Coughlin, Pete Butler, cox Ed Meese, Brad Middlebrook, and Howie Fry, had a successful season as did the diamond teams. Reg Foster, Spa- done, Willett, Dick Harris, Ferrari, Tim Taylor, Sterling Tignor, and O'Connell were among the more distinguished members of the baseball and softball teams. Golf and tennis aggregations both turned in fine team records on the basis of con- sistently strong performances by Frank Hirsch, John Scully, John Cross, Jim Laughlin on the links, and Gil Kinney, George Bass, Frank Jewett, and Lew Lawrence on the tennis courts. -ROBERT S.

FRENCH, Maxfer jonathan Edwards was already bustling with activity when its lordly seniors put in their belated appearance. Everywhere, as far as one could crane his neck down a corridor, there was unpacking, heckling and jostling of last year's friends, the great manhunt for misplaced luggage, furniture, cartons, books and all the parapher- nalia that would convert blue, pink and dirty white cubicles into habitable haunts for the Aesthete, the Student and the chic young lovelies who'd shortly be Bulldog bound. More sensitive souls, like Dave if you'll sell, 1,11 buy it Wilkinson, seeing the fundamental similarity between their wall decor and a prison cell's added their own homespun tints. Before long green rooms, navy blue rooms, claret rooms, gin rooms . . . but we're digressing . . . a whole spectrum of rooms, in fact, had had their unveiling. Before we had said Jackie Robinson' the World Series was history, and we were already old boarders at the High Street Pension. Our attendance at classes assumed that leisurely regularity of time-ticket punching and the weekend bacchanalias and football games entrenched themselves in our calendars. Cornell Weekend saw the J.E. Common Roomls social season inaugurated with a jamboree, a gala songfest, featuring such diverse ensem- bles as the Vassar Gold-dusters and Messrs. Thomas, Norris, McDowell, XVerner, et al., of our own home-made jesters. The Uget happy' crusade was given added momen- tum by the Princeton melee, celebrated by a highly suc- cessful dance organized by the Common Room Commit- tee under the aegis of Al Soutar. ln this spiritual and zestful way football and fall ebbed into winter hiberna- Om' b14r1ili'rJfi1'f' tion and the season of foreign campaigns. Screened by protective fog banks rolling in from the bay, wave after wave of Vehicles, from Cadillac to jalopy to roller skate, would slip out of the metropolis bound for adventure unknown. Whatever the theatre of operation, be it Northampton, Pough- keepsie, New York, or points N, E, W, or S, J.E.'s Spiders would be there seeking out the female of the species. Loudest and largest of the weekenders were up and coming juniors Lewis, McClellan, McKown, Watson, Shepard, XVilliams, and friends. Falltime frivolity gave way to Yule-tide Cheer, as we mer- rily trooped into our Viking-like dining hall to relish the added Christmas Banquet rations while carolers filled the hall with song and mirth. XVe guzzled genteelly, mumbled Egg-Nog and I, and repaired to our homes in such farflung possessions as Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, or Stowe, Vt. for the holidays. In January, Mr. French, Chaucerian scholar jmr excellence in the eyes of Yale, country, and God, read the delightfully bawdy and middle- English brow Miller,s Tale' to an appreciative throng of connoisseurs. These same worthies had a chance of proving their sincerity of purpose only a fortnight later when Mid-Year Exams descended on all like a bleak, grey cloud. A full semester had tucked itself under our belts, but there was more. The spring offered a Gilbert and Sullivan extravaganza with Pooh-bah Dreiske and old trousers Stodghill, Brownell, Drayton, and Harris, College weekend and the all-day swim, One hundred six dance and booze-em-ups on the moonlit strands of the nearby Atlantic. The perennial beer parties came and went like here again, gone again Fin- negan, lubricating rusty brainsprings, raising morale and voices. Elsewhere, in more sedate quarters, blase bucks, bedecked in grey, young and old alike, sniffed and swizzled cocktails, passed on the weather and metaphysics with equal gravity and aplomb, and slipped off into oblivious tipsi- ness. For this, if for nothing else, we gladly gave thanks and kudos to gracious hosts Charley Weiss, Col. Sullivan and all the other uspeakeasyj' propri- etors who took drinking off the streets and made it respectable and above board. And yet there was another J.E., apparently driven underground at times, yet always having one more gasp of breath left in it. This was the element of the incandescent Mazdas, the bright and overnight young men, the Contemplators and the Active. In one way or another, grudgingly or gleefully, as undergraduates and draft deferees, we had no choice but to fall into one of the two bins. There was Frank Musinsky, the Heavenly Muse whose writings and amours made even the taciest and most daring take pause. A secret cult was even humored, and cronies Muldowny, Wil- liams, Swenson, and stragglers from more outlying colleges were always on hand to ogle and listen quizzically to the bard's offerings. In another corner of the bandbox Quad, Marv Deckoff, Min- now Robinson, and Hugh Friedman, who with Eddie the golden-larynxed Whiff Smith repre- sented J.E. on every committee, pow-wow, and underworld conclave in the University, meditated and raised unholy Heck. Michael Kitzmiller, an unheraldcd comet from the western wilderness, picked up dust and disciples in his trail, commented on Rendezvous with Destiny or Dentistry or some such poppycock, and generally kept his end of the dining hall in an uproar, by hook or crook. Adam Hess, editor and non-arachnid spinner of our Little Mag the Spiclefs Web, toiled tirelessly against rampant philistinism, Uapathyf, Ucompla- ceney, and inertia and got out some copy. Debaters Kingman, Starbird, Antler', Elk, Shufro, and Hess shouted out their lungs, threats in an effort to snag the J. Chester Adam Trophy which continued to elude our fingertips. Swenson was far and away the outstanding choice for college mascot. Renowned for his wit and sartorial splen- dour, the toast of every town from Manchester, N. H. to Concord, N. H., the Sweden proved once and for all that the backwoods of the North Country , might yet produce another Webster, if only in collegiate edition. This was not the sum total of our contemplative stock, for with the big Congressional Probe, with TV and klieg lights and make up and all sorts of gewgaws in the offing, most everyone was buttoning his lip and just contemplating. Nonetheless, there were gophers peering out of their holes. Lord knows how many fs Willielm was rapidly becoming the Poet Laureate of rainy New Haven County, Ken McDonald swallowed his pride and accepted the Reconf Chairmanship and was seen walking about street and most in conference with a shabby old white owl gurgling boot, hoot mon. Dennie Menton, Ted Sloan, and Eddie Smith were three of the Vyhiffenpoofs' seven serenading dwarfs plus five, while Henry Scherer sang a different tune as he dodged issues and verbal eggs and dynamically wielded the gavel of the PU presidency. Hale fellow well met Dorsey got his just desserts as he was tabbed as Senior Prom Chairman. Others attached different tags to Active and Contemplative. Howie Kane, who once went from rags to riches to nothing playing 'lDoukha- bourf' turned fashionplate, thus echoing the old adage that clothes make the man, etc., wh.le Bob Rubin, Fleet Flanders, Dave Swerdlow, and kib- bitzers made like the boys in the back room while trying their luck at Hearts, three handed or fthirty fingeredj Pinochle and other unmention- able udivertissementsf' Bill Flower also added character to the college, for with his handful of henchmen he establishtd and became the Czar of the famous Q'Club 71-V' about which strange tales of noises and other mys- terious phenomena were wont to spread. The or- ganization and purpose of this ring were a puzzle and an exasperation not only to fellow Spiders but also to Mr. French and the campus guards. One could continue spinning the gold fish bowl and picking out names until he was Yale blue in the face, but there is neither the time, nor the type, nor much sense to it. Everyone pitched ing some by silently generating interest and energy- 6 ,V ,Q- N Senior aide, Hugh Friedman, Staff Secretary, Staf- ford Wilson, Librarian, Dick Tschirchg workhorse, with laugh to match, Ralph Menapace, Athletic Aide, UAC delegate and prairie sage. The haute monde or class was provided by a shadowy group of seniors addressed variously as the High Table Committee, high there or just high.' Neither nursemaids, nor monitors, their function was one of umilkingi' and dining sophomore newcomers. Others won glory and letters on the University athletic fields-Tennis Captain Hank B'odget and his sidekick racqueteer Ben TenEyck, track heavy and captain, Phil Swett, who some said was smaller in his first incarnation as an elephant, Mal Gambill, the last of the Two Platoonersg while yet another, merman Dick Thoman, took to the tanks and became a watery all-time great. There were eggheaded double domes as well, who brought home the bacon and Phi Beta Kappa keys-Bigler, Rubin, Menapace, Vfilhelm-and a trio of Tau Beta Pi's-Tschirch, Wilson, and Dranoff. And so it went, with the warriors leaving their caves in the morning, trudging wearily back at night with their tinselled badges of success, and yet, there's been more to our communal experience in J.E. For if it is true that Yale is but a mirror of society at large, then it can be confidently stated that Jonathan Edwards, in reflecting Yale, is but a miniature of society. To be sure, it is a society with a more limited, though possibly more grandi- ose, purposeg that of fashioning Men from the raw material which annually enters its portals. Instrumental in the achievement of this goal has been the ever closer Fellow-Student rapport, stimulated in this past year by the introduction of the Sophomore seminar program. Let us hope that this device shall be more extensively exploited in the future and that each succeeding class shall leave with an ever increasing sense of college rsprit de corps. To guards Marty and Freddie we owe thanks for warding off evil spirits and evil women, Sec- retary Pat Reynolds commands our respect for warding off evil men, while to our gracious dieti- tian Miss Stockpole, we say: Moffituri, iv salu- fumus. It is only amazing that the popular ire against our Afro-American cuisine never flared into open Famine Riots. But in the final analysis a college record stands or falls on the personality of its master. And so it is to Mr. French and to his wife that we must turn and pay homage. This charming couple has piloted us through the years in the face of seem- ingly insurmountable odds O00 and some oddj and continue to do so with a perseverance which is truly extraordinary. We hail the Freriches, their Sunday teas and their hospitality, their indulgence and their resolve. The welcome mat awaits one and all, black shoe, brown shoe, white shoe, snow shoe, even the barefoot boy with cheek may enter Jonathan Edwards and sit out the seemingly endless dank and dampness, the glacial cold and the perpetual drizzle which pit-pat-pit-pats outside. -DON WALLACE, JR. Om' hu mlreal cigbl ' It doesn,t take abso- . lute numbers to win a championship. If it did, Jonathan Edwards would never stand a chance in intercollege athletics. Actually what it takes is spirit and interest-spirit in the college and interest in the sport. A com- bination of the two has given the Spiders a con- sistently high standing through the years and once again made them a strong competitor in the sports year 1952-1953. In football, j.E.'s South League title holders of last year figured to make it a tight race with co-favorites Branford and Saybrcok. Led by Bill Wilson, Marty Shea, and Dave Swerdlow, the Spiders recorded consecutive two-touchdown vic- tories over Davenport and the Saybrook Seals. Despite a plague of penalties and fumbles, stalemated Silliman and Pierson in their next two encounters. In the finale against Branford the team could have captured the title with a clutch wing but the Towermen were too strong, as bowed in a tight 6-0 decision. After finishing the season in third place, J.E. smashed Dudley House of Harvard in a post-season massacre, 47-7. The soccer team never stood a chance. Captain Al Foster led a pick-up team into battle, and when the smoke had cleared, the Spiders were mired in seventh place with a 3-6 record. In touch football J.E. broke even for the year with a 4-4-1 record as Captain Dave Webster led the Spiders to a surprising fourth place finish. The A basketball team, after three early season setbacks, settled down and earned a first division berth. Coach Bob Rubin's veteran quintet was led by Al Soutar, Dave Swerdlow, and sopho- more Hugh Guidotti. The Spider B was not as successful, the hoopsters, final standing was in the subterranean depths of the second division. The hockey team was the brightest light of the J.E. Winter Sports scene. Despite the loss of goalie Dick Whelan to the varsity, the veteran six, led by coach Dave Swenson, Manning, Good- win, and Hank Blodget, had an excellent year. The Spiders had little success in the other winter sports. John Stewart's handball team had only a fair season while the squash team and Jerry Ralph's swimming squad suffered losing seasons. Marv Deckoff was the Spiders' only boxer, Ted Schom- burg and Bob Dowling formed the formidable J.E. wrestling squad. Spring brought fresh hopes to the Spider. While tennis and crew headed for the second division, J.E.,s championship baseball and softball teams returned intact and were heavy favorites to re- peat as the champions. The golf team, which came in second last year, figured to take top honors, as it, too, returned intact for another year of giving-their-all-for-J.E.-ball. --RALPH C. NIENAPACIZ, JR. fr----'H - W -......k 0 PIERSQN COLLEGE bears the name of the Reverend Abraham Pierson of Kil- lingsworth, Connecticut, first rector of the Collegiate School Ql7Ol-75. PIERSON CULLEGE I GORDON S. HAIGHT, Master Every year seems to begin, and this one did too, in Pierson just as it did, presumably, in Ulan Bator. Except that it was probably colder in Ulan Bator and they have Mongols. Pierson does not have a single Mongol. There were not even any tin-foil fountains such as the one which some enterprising people constructed at the close of last year, nor any mermaids such as the ones which we did not quite manage to procure last year. But the fall term began anyway. When we all go home, the spring term will have ended, just as the scholastic year will have ended in Ulan Bator. Except that there the Mongols do not go home, they just sit in the cold and read Hegel. Yet during the nine months from September to June, a coalescence of the tra- ditional and the unique imparted to Pierson-un- like the Mongolian People's Republic-that d's- tinctive, impalpable quality which made it a home, and not merely a dormitory, for some three hundred and fifty students. On the tradition side of the Slave ledger, the Haighrs held their usual literary soirees, the parties for the winning . . . the losing . . . Pierson sports aggregations continued, we had a Christmas IICC which, as usual, looked as if it were suffering from acute malnutrition, and Mrs. Joyner con- fiscated the sugar bowls when someone borrowed a bowl for a rather unexpected use. The novelties were legion. We inherited Colonel Gimbel's Dick- ens collectiong one quiet day a horde of art stu- dents descended on Pierson to make a college of the courtyard where, for some totally unfathom- able reason, the light was good, a Slave ping pong team, boasting even Scholar of the House Hugh Stimson, brought that sport into the intercol- legiate athletic limelight, and, although this was probably not so unique as we might have wished, Mrs. Joyner was always running out of coffee. Yet perhaps it is the end of this academic year in Pierson, and not the beginning, that deserves top billing in this articleg for the close of the 1953 spring term marks the end of an era. After four turbulent years which encompassed the most significant of the post war changes at Yale and the end of the stream of Veterans attending college on the GI Bill of Rights, Gordon Haight, third master of the college, has resigned to devote him- self more fully to scholarly pursuits, particularly to completion of his works on George Eliot. He will take a sabbatical to England in the fall. The College has had the pleasure of welcoming back an old fellow this year, Professor Welles, who had been with the government for the past two years, two visiting professors, Messrs. Aaron of the Philosophy Department and Hubbard of the Om' lwzunlrrd l'Il'l'l'll History Department, have enriched our lunchtable conversationsg and Hauk Van Leeuwen, a Com- monwealth Scholar from Holland and a visiting associate fellow, has taken over the suite wh'ch Father Murray occupied last year. Hauk joined the Pierson married set during the interim be- tween terms, the ceremony being held only five days after his bride-to-be had arrived from Hol- land. The college married set is, incidentally, al- ready the largest-and quite probably the most flourishing-of which any residential college can boast, including Jim Beckwith, Bob Clark, Hank Christian Qotherwise distinguished by being a budding young writerj, Jerry Conway, Gaddis Smith, Bill Posey, and Doug Treat. The draft, the spector which seems to lurk in every corner of the university, made relatively small inroads against Pierson during last summer. A few faces were missing when the college met together this fall, but the draft had accounted for only one or two of the absences-although it Om' ljlllltlffd fu.'e1l'.' would seem at the moment that it might reap a better harvest this summer. During the football season, college activities never quite escaped the doldrums that inevitably accompany the quicken- ing of spirit on a university-wide level. The foot-- ball games and big weekends, with all the other confusion attendant upon them, kept the Slaves well scattered about the Yale scene. Nourishing the fires of extra-curricular life occupied the time of an inordinately large portion of the Pierson igarrison, as the college contributed oHicers to the News Cincluding Gaddis Smith, the incoming chairman, and Harvey Loomis, the out-going chair- manj, the Record, the Banner, the Lit fwhere We produced another chairmanj, WYBC, the PU fwhere Bob Weinberg served as presidentj, the NSA, the UAA, and a multitude of other thriving combines, denoted by such cryptic titles as EC--where the Slaves starred again, the UAC-in which Henry Baldwin preserved the honor of Pierson. Dick Valeri- ani, Tom Hopkins, Karl Honeystein, Erwin Hargrove, Pete Lousberg, Bill Palmer, Bill Troy, and Larry von Hake were among the leaders in extra-curricular life, but it seemed as if everyone in the college was oppressed with too much to do for too many organizations. Ed Crossman tripled in brass as varsity crew captain, president of the UAA, and the Slave Senior Prom representative, while all the time maintaining as active an interest in the intra-college activities as anyone in the class. Witli the Princeton Weekend Dance, however, the world began to return to a more even keel, and even the more cosmopolitan Slaves commenced to give larger quantities of their time to the col- lege. The first sign, perhaps, of a resurgence of x interest in Pierson activities came with the neat profit which Bob Barbee turned up on the Prince- ton Dance. In the interim, however, the Pierson ship had been far from becalmed. Ed Marshman and his politically minded brethren had been assiduously plotting Christian-Democratic schemes in ill-lit fourth floor garrets falmost inevitably with the assistance of Bob Pattersonjg the Wen- berg-Bettigole left of the center coalitions had been plotting away in other fourth floor garrets with an equal amount of success, the college had gained a television set from the fourteen O club-an organization, incidentally, that seems to function both day and night, and holidays, under the benevolent rule of Homer Babbidgeg Bob Todd, Ted Hoopes, and some others had imported a genuine, pedigreed Siamese cat Cwhich was eventu- ally evicted because, while everyone was willing to feed her, no one seemed very anxious to take care of the stable dutiesjg and John O'Hara came to inform us that even normal people could write books, and last, but not least, Dick Johnson, Stolzenberg, Myers, Kamps, and other stalwarts of the Slave Quarters vigorously upheld the reputa- tion of the Slave Quarters as the center of party life in the college. In the midst of this social and extra-curricular maelstrom, the Scholarly Man not only continued examine life within the college walls quite well, if a bit sporadically, and the college fellows scanned articles telling them to eat more often with the undergraduates, while the undergraduates read stories extolling the virtues of the fellows. The reborn debating team pushed its head above the ground, under the leadership of Mike Temin, and is performing admirably in intercollegiate competi- tion. The shops began to turn their wheels more rapidly, and the French and German tables func- tioned successfully. The milk bar, after a slow beginning, rolled in money after Pete Mott and Ed Joy took over its management. Sports activi- ties and a host of minor activities began to ac- celerate their pace. The college aide staff, under the general supervision of Joe Friend and with Dick Kamps as athletic aide, was kept on the march under the eagle eye of Miss Hickey-although the sophomores and juniors were looking forward apprehensively to the day when they might find themselves working as college guards, instead of as aides. Bill Nick and Buzz Tashjian turned in yeoman jobs in the shops, the record collection blossomed, and a substantial quantity of new books found their way into the college library under the regime of Fred Smith. The Advisory to exist within the walls of Pierson, but actually thrived. John Hall, Bill Hutchison, and Lou Drozda, Henry Blume, Louis Hammer, and Bob Weinberg held the fort in Phi Beta Kappa meetings for the Slaves. Hugh Stimson, as a Scholar of the House, peacefully continued to examine the Ch'in Dynasty and the Worltl of Li Po, between ping pong matches. The Pierson Slave, under the editorship of the two Bens, Hopkins and Hoffman, continued to Council, with Pete Van Doren acting as chairman and aided by much sage advice from Homer Babbidge, inaugurated a number of moves calcu- lated to benefit Pierson's 140-odd rooms. Plans for the Spring Weekend, always one of the high points of college life, were formulated in plenty of time to insure the success of the venture, and the an- nual Gilbert and Sullivan production, this year upder the direction of Dick Valeriani, took shape One lmnfiml lbirlven as the voice of rehearsing students re-echoed through the court yard at odd moments of the day and night. The college seemed to do even more than its share in the field of athletics, where the Slaves contributed Charlie Coudert to the varsity foot- ball team, Hank Blume, Charlie Culotta, Tom Hopkins, Harvey Loomis, Lee O'Nan, Pete Parker, Art King, John Roberts, and Ames Thompson to the ranks of the hockey, soccer, and lacrosse teams. Pete Packard represented Pierson on the polo field, Fred Smith worked out on the crew 1S0,s, Don Teare was on the varsity wrestling team. Teare and Hopkins were the Slave representatives on the Yale key, giving guided tours to the visitors against whom they and their confreres would compete. Yes, the Pierson Quadrangle was the home of people from all facets of university life. We had Ben Burt, who always seemed to prefer New York to the streets of New Haven, and there were the Whiffs, and Blair Murphy, who managed the Class Gift drive as well as captaining the varsity squash aggregation, Herb Kaiser returned to spend his last terms in Pierson after spending his junior year in France, J. T. Prendergast organized the only Wish You Were Here club in existence, and Hnally Rog Whitburne and John Stokdyk ran the student cleaning and student laundry agen- cies. We had just about everything in those 140 rooms called Pierson. As the year rounded the half-way mark, even the most socially minded of the Slaves settled down to a more sedentary way of life, new boards replaced old boards in the extra-curricular world, a few less people flicked out on Monday nights. The Slave seniors, with the shadow of compre- hensives hovering above them, retreated to their rooms in preparation for the final tests before Commencement. Life became more serious, more purposeful. The round of college beer parties was climaxed with the one annually given to welcome the incoming sophomores to the college, and the seniors, dismayed at this sudden influx of youth, finally realized that their time was running out. The college allocations, which always before had been just one more fact of spring at Yale, now became a milestone in the lives of the tired men of 1953. Looking back at four years-four years which never once seemed interminable, and now seem only a brief moment never quite utilized as it should have been-we of the class of 1953 owe a great debt to Pierson, to the Haights, to Miss Hickey and Homer Babbidge, to the classes below us . . . Pierson was the rock on which each of us built the house of his Yale career-diversified as these have been-and for this, we owe a great debt. -DAVID B. HARNED One hundred fourteen ' At the end of the . fall sports schedule, Pierson had a firm grip on eighth place in the Tyng Cup standings. But 50 of its 71 autumnal points had mounted up on a bi-weekly rate of touch football wins that snowballed into the university championship. The touchmen won eight without defeat, dropping a tie to Berkeley for its only blemish. Stokdyk captained that un- beaten six, with razzle being supplied by Brenner, Picard, Stonehill, Stolzenberg, and Solan, and dazzle provided by Carver, Friend, Scharff, Glowacki, and even some grit thrown in by Roseberry. Rough defensively and ready offensively, the touch team tied Dunster House, 6-6, in the Harvard competition, with Stokdyk carrying over the only Slave score.

Captain-elect Swisher received an all-South League berth in the line, with the VD twins earning second team recognition. Holme, Crowley, and Thompson excelled in the line, so did Krieger and Heymann in the backfield. The soccer team, which trained on beer, won one out of nine, managing to tie three. Kristiansen and O'Nan were chief guzzlers, ably aided and abetted by Coty, Rouse, Mendoza, Bannerot, Temin, Plummer, Prem, Myers, and nearly any- body else that could be impressed into eleventh hour service. Enthusiasm abounded about Pierson's Arena- house Five plus Goal, who also happened to be Smith, Poole, Glowacki, and Brinckerhoff, among others, capably carried the ball. An avalanche tumbled into the B line- ups, and that squad raced through its first games without defeat behind the sharpshooting leadership of Stokdyk. The squash courts spawned early Slave victories without a loss before exams descended upon us. Captain Parker, Loomis, Thayer, Prem, Cornell, and fellow George Dimock presented a formidable lineup. The swimming team had a record in direct con- trast with the racquetmen, 0-3, with Captain Prendergast, Temin, Bardeen, and Brower pro- ducing the points. Handball experienced some difficulties in getting enough men to play, but captain Moseley, Pratt, Cornell, Scharff, Brenner, and fellow John Hubbard all occasionally en- tered handball action to give Pierson representa- tion on the gym courts. The wrestlers meanwhile were conditioning for the grind ahead, Hutchison, Jones, Hill, Kamps, Dibbell and Kristiansen led the grapplers who were determined to capture points for the Slaves. -RICHARD G.

Newcomers are not long in realizing char the liellows are always ready for a chat, and many impromptu bull sessions talsc plaee over the hal- lowed tables of the dining hall. Some scones we never forget. Mr. Robley, with ever so slight a Q SAYBROOK COLLEGE, is named for the Connecticut town which was the seat of the Collegiate School until it was removed to New Haven in 1716. The college occupies the north- ern half of the Memorial Quadrangle. trace of a smirk, hearing the juniors of the En- gineering School bemoan their couiscs, while the Yale College seniors observe the proceedings with smirks a bit more obvious, Mr. Martz, leaving a noontime conversation, sans hat, to hurry to his afternoon class, Ma Taylor, surveying the debris of the annual Play, Tom Hines, the guard, stand- ing at the entrance with a greeting for all and a flushogram for some, the Master's punch parties, especially when Mrs. Henning succeeds in caus- ing ,Iim McLane to blush, Barty, conducting the Saybrook Chorus at the Christmas Party. To say merely that we shall be sorry to see Barry retire from the Yale scene this year would be failing to do justice to the love and respect he com- mands not only in Saybrook, but in the entire University. Never too busy to see anyone, pro- vided the called is a studentg congenial, and de- signer of the best whiskey sours ever mixed. Although unquestionably vital to the Saybrook existence, flicks, pool tables, and punchbowis are but part of the picture. There is moreover a com- mon, if well-sublimated, desire to pass exams and ultimately to leave Saybrook as far behind as possible. However the road leading out of the College is a devious one, and her inhabitants can be found working as one in planning such inter- esting detours as football weekends, the Quartet Concert, the Christmas Party, and the Founders' Day Weekend Show. Capably steering her united machinations are Chief Aide, Ned Bjornson, and College Council President, Paul Frankowski, who put in no end of worry and work to make the Brook more than books and bunks. We still have books and bunks, but these seem to be inevitable in any College. Mcst of us feel very close to our Chief of State, that distinguished habitue of the Master's Office, Mr. Basil Duke Henning, who requires but a few minutes' acquaintance to ingratfate himself with neophyte Brookmen. No Spring Weekend or BASIL D. HENNING, Master Quartet Concert is ever complete without his hilarious renditions of The Yankee General and Antoinette Birbyf, Mrs. Henning adds life and charm to the College, and more than one Brookman has her to thank for the hospitality shown his date. We have become fond of the Hennings' chil- dren, too: Morgan, who hates to practice the pianog Billy, who is constantly learning new wrestling holds from the Office Staff, and Cam- eron, the youngest, who is as yet unable to wreak any havoc on the members of the College. Then, too, there is Mrs. Wilmot, Secretary to Mr. Henning, whom everybody except the un- initiated sophomore calls Rena. Anyone capable One hundred seventeen of imparting a semblance of order to the chaos of goings-on in a typical Master,s Oiiice is indeed a remarkable person. Rena is just this and more. She's the vital cog who keeps the intricate works of the College in smooth operation. A wonderful gal to know, she possesses a truly formidable harem of male admirers. We can't pass by without mention of our Schol- ars of the House, Bob Bialek, Tom Enders, and Neil Rolde. Neil combined with Rog Redden to turn out the flick reviews for the News. This always provided some amusement, Rogis biting comments on the fruits of Hollywood labor were seldom anything less than riotous. Every once in a while we found sufficient time and material to publish an issue of the Saybrook Seal. To this end El Comins frequently was forced to put aside his more academic work in order to meet a somewhat fictitious deadline. Lee Miller con- tributed his scintillating wit, Herb Zohn his in- comparable cartoons, and Bob Brawn and others their heckling, which was often more humorous than the copy itself. The College debating team stepped into the shoes of last year's champs, and that they were not quite so successful in outgumming all op- ponents this year as last is certainly not the fault of Charley Donelan, who gave the group his capable and energetic leadership. The College Council had a busy year, and be- sides planning the usual social events, instituted the popular dinner time round tablesn with the twofold purpose of providing intellectual stimu- lation and fostering a closer rapport between the Fellows and the students. The members of the Council were Paul Frankowski, Dave Seeley, Ned Bjornson, John Hill, Charley Neave, Bill Prentiss, Paul Thompson, Dave Bodenberg, and Doug Adamson. This year saw the passing of the Saybrook Mon- ster, that veritable demon of crudeness, the epitome of the Dean's nightmares. It seems that no one was willing to take up the tremendous respon- sibility which the incumbent had imparted to the office. One timid sophomore was almost in- augurated, but backed out when he learned that he would have to grow a beard. The Brook is invariably a seat of activity. The attitude of the day was brilliantly typified by Len Marx, who, in the first week following Christmas vacation, set a pace of seven flicks, one love date, and a night of bridge. Other members of the castle tried to outdo his record, but the Dean's Office got wind of the proceedings and put an abrupt stop to the contest. Speaking of bridge, we thought that Bob Mar- tineau was the person who would play any time, but this year marked the arrival of a pair of sophomores who will be long remember- ed for their insatiable love of the game. Pool was a standard item, too. The only time one of us couldn't persuade Nick Peay to join a game was when Tony Escoda was already us- ing the table. It took r Nick a year and a half of studied effort to fi- nally beat Tom Barry and this year he suc- ceeded. The library was great- ly enriched by the addi- tion of a set of books by Mr. Edison Dick, class of 1922, Great Books of the Wfestern World. Members of the College have found these and other new volumes to be valuable sources of informa- tion. However, preference still runs to Thorne Smith, Erskine Caldwell, and Mickey Spillane. We are also fortunate enough to have added to our collection of phonograph records, a faction advo- cating the purchase of works by Louis Armstrong, Muggsy Spanier, and others, is as yet unable to pressure the Master's Oflice into favorable action. After long years of apathy toward our college darkroom, we began to put it in order. It seemed as if the truckloads of litter to be removed would never end, but when we saw the floor show through the overlay we took to heart and soon had that part of the job done. New equipment was purchased, old repaired, and before long- well, too long-it was ready for use. Saybrook had needed a singing group for par- ties ever since the graduation of her original Alley Cats, but it took Paul Thompson, a soph- omore, to organize one. He soon whipped an eight man ensemble into shape, and they began per- forming for our pleasure. With Paul and Walt Farrier taking care of the arranging, and Paul Stanley keeping the piano under control, the octet made its debut Princeton Weekend at the Brook dance. They sang at other engagements through- out the year, including the Quartet Concert and the College Weekend parties. Several times weekly the strains of their golden voices are confined to the tower of Killingworth Court, to which point of vantage members of the College have induced themselves to transfer their rehearsals. The hobby shop always provides a means for letting young men prove their pet theories about radio construction, the nature of glue, and so forth. Gene Zaborowski and Bill Boger coaxed considerable production from the assortment of tools in the basement of Willis Entry this year, contributing to the remodeling of the darkroom, record cabinets for the library, and several other carpentry jobs around the college which needed being done. Junior Prom, with its ballot on the type of bands to be selected, came and went. Those who lived in Tilden Entry were constantly inquiring of John Hill, our Prom committeeman, for the latest details. The race with Princeton in the big date scramble elicited no end of ingenious flushograms, but our hat is still off to the boy who persuaded a Tiger to our Prom, and then proceeded One hundred nineteen to bird-dog his date, leaving our New Jersey neighbor in the lurch. Still, for the most part, the year passed quietly. We smuggled our share of beer cans into the hockey games, and did our share of hissing and cheering our Ushootemupsf, The guards were a little perturbed, at times, by the methcd with which we used up our old firecrackers, and the coke bottle war did little to alleviate their feelings. Wle griped about New Haven weather and dining hall food, and welcomed the break between terms much like the rest of the University. A plan to have all members of the College transfer out one Sunday night, in protest of the food, fell through when it was discovered that six other colleges had identical menus. The ordeal of room inspection was looked upon as an ordeal to be tolerated, we all worried over exams and more than a few of us over the draft. The failure of the power system found one of our loyal undergraduates working like a beaver under a strectlight, and a few more by candles. All in all we were pretty much like everyone else. We have a lot of people to thank for making it such a great year. The Hennings, Rena, The Ofhce Staff, Ned Bjornson and Paul Frankowski, who performed so capably in the operation of the college functions, Jack Callander, the librarian, who kept our bookshelves and music platters in first class condition, Fred Graham, who turned out athletic teams that were a real credit to the Brook, the employees of the college, and countless others who contributed their time, expense, and effort to develop the social and academic life fcr which the College system was designed. And last, but far from least, we wish to offer our sincere thanks to the Fellows of the college, whose ex- ample of devotion and understanding we shall remember and try to follow all our lives. As we said, itls Saturday. But itls the wrong kind of Saturday. There are no parties, no one is headed for a flick, no games, no books to crack. It's been a great year, and we hate to leave. The seniors who leave now for good may look back on this and the three previous years and agree that they would never, given the choice, spend them in any other way. Next year and the year after there will be other seniors. But it's a safe guess that they, too, will feel the same way about the gloomy edifice on Elm Street which at times seems to mean so little, but in perspective comes to mean so muCh.-RODNEX' D. Wooo. One fm mlreaf lwcnty ' This year Saybrook . athletics continued in the tradition of the last few seasons, there was unusual strength in the major sports, but a lack of numerical support in the lesser activities handi- capped our Tyng Cup campaign. In football, tradi- tion got out of hand, as for the second straight year an upset by J.E. knocked us out of the league championship. Coach Art Kramer welded a single-wing powerhouse around co-captain Bill Berkeley, Charley Donelan, Ed Schmults, and a host of beefy linesmen, but early season injuries to linebaekers Bill Burt, Bob Ward, and co-captain Fred Graham softened the Seal's defense. The Berkeley-to-Schmults pass combination functioned for much of the Seal scoring as the Goldmen blanked Pierson 12-0, Davenport 6-0, Trumbu'l 19-0, and tied champion Branford 6-6. Extra offensive punch was aided by the pass receiving of Carl Van Winter and Gene Zaborowski, the running of Bill McKim, and the blocking and clever signal-calling of Charley Donelan. Mean- while the Saybrook Fireplugsf' Sinberg, Gunn, Dow, George, Demcak, Beatty, Ep'er, Boger, and Cook, were playfully smothering most of the opponents' attempts at retaliation. The season ended with a flourish as our cigar-smoking herois journeyed to Harvard and engineered a touchdown in the final thirty seconds of the Adams House fray to win, 13-7. Meanwhile the undermanned touch and soccer teams had their troubles. Despite the efforts of Jim Norton, Hank Heebner, jim Harrison, and others, the touch team could win only three con- testsg while soccermen Sam Insull, Jerry Danbury, A. Stone, Jim English, and Roger Redden were able to come out on top but once. Brook fortunes picked up during the winter. Ned Shera, Captain Ed Schmults, jeff Mills, Joe Gilfillan, and Stan Ebner paced the A basket- ball team, as HS. J. Berkeley again contended for league scoring honors. Hansen, Jenkins, Stan- ley, and Kuffel led the B's.,' Coach Hig Gouldls hockey team was sparked by Captain Donelan, Neave, Platt, Gunn, Stronge, and Logan to a successful season. Veteran squashmen Cardoza, Nash, and Franke improved on last year's record, and the handball team was the strongest in recent years. The foursome of Gignilliat, Martineau, Stronge, and O'Bryan outclassed most of its op- ponents. The swimming team had another tough year, although the participation of many sopho- mores gave hope for the future. Saybrook had sev- eral outstanding wrestlers, but our strength was too concentrated in the heavier weights to Win the championship. Len Doolan, Pim Epler, and Dick George were three outstanding big boys in the competition. Graduation swept away the entire championship boxing team of '52, but Ed Brigham emerged as the central figure on whom to rebuild the team. In the spring the baseball and softball teams proved to be our strong points. Veterans Paul Nash, Howie Kligerman, Marsh Ransom, Ned Shera, and Carl Van Winter joined with several sophomore newcomers to produce power-happy squads and rolled up creditable won-lost records. Racquetmen Berkeley, Cardoza, Franke and Stronge managed a respectable tennis season, and while our oarsmen failed to gain the crew cham- pionship, the races were exciting, and nobody drowned. -FRED P. GRAHAM X ,, ,.. ...iffy lf - E ..4. .. 2 SILLIMAN COLLEGE 1 W Q SILLIMAN COLLEGE carries the name of Benjamin Silliman, B.A. 1796, Profes- sor of Chemistry and Geology from 1802 to 1853. To form this college in 1940 the Vanderbilt-Scientific Halls and Byers Hall were remodeled and additions built. Y A Mander or not a Mander, that is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to ponder D U The slings and arrows of the problem college Or to throw self into a sea of liquors, And by imbibing end it all. Silliman is diversified. It has Collegiate Sym- phoniae, poker games, poets, athletes, journalists, and a scurrility scoreboard. It is the largest college and houses all forms of the Yale animal. 1952-S3 was a banner year for Yale's truest democracy. Professor Greene in his last of five dynamic years as master continued his crusade for student government. The college council hashed over the perennial back gate problem, procured a new television for the snack bar, and sold social cards at a new reduced price of 52.50. The latter admitted holders to a dinner dance Dartmouth weekend, a Princeton dance with free punch a-la-Nelson, a fall dixieland jazz concert, numer- ous college weekend events plus a score of other parties. Social chairman Saul Braun and sidekick Pete Flood saw to it that the Sals got their money's worth. Other Council members included President John Richardson, Treasurer Pete Cog- gins, Secretary Larry Miller, Geoff Nelson, John Cleary, Hovey Harris, and Frank Moore. The Judiciary Committee, set up by the coun- cil in 1951, continued to advise the master on disciplinary cases in the college. Chairman Raleigh D'Adamo and members Gil Dudley, Buddy Thomp- son, Fred Zeitvogel, and Don Lamm cleared up several problems with minimum embarrassment to the students involved. THEODORE M. GREENE, Master The Silliman Salamander, the oldest illegible college bi-monthlyf' impressed its readers with on-the-spot reporting, provoking editorials, and a hilarious parody of a rival publication. Editor Lamm's nimble pen decried the apathy in the college, while he and his staff put out a sparkling little paper which everyone read and enjoyed. Silliman Fellows had a vigorous year. They of- fered seminars in economics, classical civil'zation, physics, and English to sophomores. Mr. Baratz returned from the summer with a new bride, and Professor Robert Penn Warren got married in January. Monday night Workshop Talks con- tinued as usual With talks by Professors Volkart, Bateman, Nikam, and Mr. Pugsley, to name a few. One hundred twenty-three Seniors Bill Donaldson and Frank jedlicka led a campaign forum of students and fellows on November 3, after heated debate, the house voted overwhelmingly for Stevenson, despite vehement right-wing denouncements. Americanist Gecff Nelson threatened to call Senator McCarthy, but was calmed by liberal friends. Camille Follis, the college secretary, and her aide staff, headed by chief aide Keating and seniors Nelson, Lamm, and Garner performed myriad services for master and college alike. Camille was a friend to everyone in the college and graced lovesick Manders with consistently good advice. The annual Benjamin Silliman dinner was per- haps the top college event of the year. Charles H. Malik, UN delegate from Lebanon, gave a talk on the Near East and the West,s uinexcusable lialf-heartednessu in dealing with that area. Long known as the land of campus nonentities, Silliman flashed into the extra-curricular limelight this year with the most impressive list of organiza- tion heads in any college. The 1953 News board was dominated by Manders, including Chairman Jim Thomson, managing editor John Koch, busi- ness manager Bill Donaldson, assistant managing editor Wally Hopkins, and personnel manager Al Flynn. WYBC head Charlie Heard was a local boy as were Record Chairman Joe Carris and feature editor Saul Braun, and Buimer chfirman John Gray. Senior class gift chairman Bull Dur- ham and Junior Prom head Harry Benninghoff were also chosen from among us, and two of ncxt year's captains, Joe Fortunato Qfootballj and John Om' bumlrmf fweuly-four Cleary fcross countryj are Silliman men. Don Lamm, president of Phi Beta Kappa, and Dwight Hall co-Vice- Presidents Hank Keating and Doug Williams top the list of men who have put the Mander on the map. Silliman was the center of a powerful brain trust, as it boasted more Phi Betes than any other col- lege and as many Rhodes Scholars as Princeton Uni- versity. Pete Westermann organized and directed a Collegiate Symphonia of 18th century music for strings, reminis- cent of his Bachnereign of the year before. The common room was packed for the per- formance, and Pete was wildly acclaimed for his monumental effort. On the humorous side, residents of Entry M had language contests and rated each other on a uscurrility scoreboard. John Creatura was alleged to have had the highest quotient, although both Joe Albanese and Charlie Johnson made cour- ageous bids for top honors. An early leader, Ed Toohey found the competition too stiff and dropped out to become scorekeeper. During these 2 'A.M. scurrility contests, Charlie Heard claims he slept like a baby. The scourge of gambling enveloped Silliman this year and swept numerous innocent Salaman- ders into its ugly web. Eric Dohrmann, Hugh Mitchell, and Gordie Young formed the nucleus of the local syndicate. After the world series boom, the group settled down to nightly poker games, some of which were broken up by the janitor during his morning chores. The consistently superior Silliman cuisine fal- tered momentarily last fall, and eleven Manders were sent to the infirmary with G.I. upset. Cries of ptomaine were disputed by Miss van Cleve, who reasoned that more students would have been afflicted had the food been poisoned. Health department officials disagreed, but no further upsets were reported. Wick Godfrey was the most popular man in the college, for he gave everybody complimentary cigarettes. He was paid for it, too-ten dollars a week. Poor thing! His roommates, Denny Warner and Ed Nowaczek, guitar and banjo specialists, provided us with music at all hours. Tom Keefe got married, and Russ Shelton and Jack Upshur, who continued to paint, further established them- selves as masters of mid-twentieth century abstrac- tion. The afore-mentioned sextet threw a fabulous party Princeton weekend. They also started the Guppy fad. Guppies are exotic goldfish who have unusual, in fact, fascinating mating habits. By year's end, there were at least a dozen bowls of them in Silliman rooms. Captain-player-coach Frank Maloney kept the college going sportswise. He always encouraged Sal athletes to do better and persuaded many more to participate in Silliman sports. His roommate, Roger Williams, kept the political Union treasury financially solvent. The Mander was not without its practical jokers. Don Bradley and Jerry Griner took a vacuum cleaner and attached a hose to the exhaust. Next they collected all the cigarette butts they could find, allegedly from all the ash trays in entry G, and dumped them into the cleaner. Extending the hose into the window of the room below they turned on the machine. The result was a little dusty. Next day Griner went down to survey the damage, expressed his sympathy to the irate occupants of the room, and vowed he would find the culprits. Dwight uHumphrey', Townsend was a source of joy. His basso laugh was as contagious as the Hu that was going around in January. Perhaps the top social event of the year was the Silliman Valentine's Day dance, organized by sophomore Tom Irish. The event was well adver- tised with elaborate posters and special records which Tom played daily in the dining hall. And it was a real blast-Bill Faurot had an especially good time. The college snack bar, enriched by the addition of the new TV set, positively flourished. Money- bags Dolloff, along with counter-men Reiland and Curtiss, absorbed a neat profit from hungry Sals. The trio added hamburgers to the menu Om' l7lU1l17't'1, fzwfziy-fi: 4' during January exam period and the resulting boom was perhaps most ramified by the obvious luxury in which the three manipulators lived. Only one business venture backiired- charge accounts. Manders just wouldn't pay up. Once, Bill Reiland got an unsuspecting debtor so drunk that he paid his bill. But the idea was unsound, and credit privileges were suspended. Silliman residents were treated daily to various performances on the common room Steinway. Art Rosenzweig, Doug Williams, Roy Bivins, Ken Ives, and a score of others pounded out rendi- tions of everything from Bach to Bop, the latter of which was found most distasteful to Geoffrey Nelson, boy classicist. In February, Silliman was unofficially recognized as the social college of Yale. In a communication to University officials, a Barnard dance chairman requested that a limited number of New Haven's elite be invited to hop at the upper Manhattan college. The invitation was immediately forwarded to Silliman social wheel Gill Nightingale, who rolled into action and sent forty eager Manders to the big event. At the dance, Don Lamm was a little disturbed when a Barnard cutie told him, It is so pleasant to meet a boy from a college in the countryf, Long famous for its Yuletide spirit, the Mander, this year, threw one of the gamest Christmas parties ever. Joy and laughter prevailed as Dwight Townsend presented Grog, the college chef, with a shovel, and Cecile with an accurate time piece. Cecile had another vigorous year, checking trans- fer cards, warning delinquent Sals to behave in the dining hall, and, as usual, memorizing names. A visitor from Trumbull was amazed when she remembered his name and number the second time he ate in Silliman. But we will always remember her maternally watching over us. It was affec- tionately joked that her pet project was to see if Silliman's many Ford Scholars had washed behind their ears when they came to breakfast. And now a potpourri of incidentals . . . Buddy Thompson captained the Silliman portion of the Yale Charities Drive to 10621 of its original quota . . . Junior Ed Blair published a H116 volume of thirty original poems which many Sals bought enthusiastically . . . The annual Tang Cup races were held in May, and the Prexies, after being foiled in numerous attempts at foul play, went down in abysmal defeat . . . The Air Force moved out, and the Salamanders spread out . . . Hank Seney, Carlos Romero, and Larry Dolan were the envy of all as each had at least three dates a week . . . and, last of all, the pigeons left their usual problem under the arch. This year was Professor Greene's last as master of Silliman. An ardent proponent of student gov- ernment and activity on the residential college level, he has through his years as master helped Silliman approach his ideal of a free, friendly, democratic community. His successor, Professor Luther Noss, is one of Silliman's original fellows, and his annual direction of the Silliman Christmas Carollers has always been superb. Mr. Greene has given several punch parties for him and Mrs. Noss, which all in attendance have thoroughly enjoyed. --M. HOVEY HARRIS One lamzrlred twenty-six ' For several years Sil- . liman has lightly shrug- ged off its cellarly athletic position. The stock phrase was: Well, things always have to hit rock bottom before they can get better. We were quite fond of pointing out that Silliman had a large per- centage of engineers whose many afternoon labs almost wholly excluded them from athletics. We also liked to refer to the vast size of the college and explain that its competitive failure was due to the physical impossibility of obtaining a unified effort. sophomores as johnny Rhinelander, Stu Cragin, joe Johnson, and Dick Mayor, and proceeded to elicit respectful bows from many of his adversaries. Even with this added punch, the end of the fall season found us once again on the bottom rung of the ladder-but not without some consolation, for only 12M points separated the last four places. At the first ranking of the winter season we had risen to eighth place. Captains Bull Durham and Joe Fortunato of the swimming and handball teams, respectively, were supplying and evoking a great deal of zest for our climb. The basketball These alibis, of course, were merely rhetorical cover-ups for what was actually a lack of interest. For some time Silliman had not been fortunate enough to attract the sparks which would be the vital element in the ignition of our overly dry tinder. Perhaps it was because this year we hap- pened to inherit a sufficient number of necessary sparks that Silliman began to move. Or maybe it was just because we got plain tired of being pushed around and finally wanted to do something about it. At any rate, the beginning of the fall season showed promising signs of the return of the pendulum to the black side of the ledger. The football season saw sophomores Ted Flynn, B0 Foster, and Jim Johnston providing added impetus to such mainstays as Co-Captains Johnny Elliot and Don Lamm and All-League Ed Schmidt. Nevertheless, once again Silliman went scoreless. Our defense, however, was virtually impenetrable, and we gained several ties for a Hnal fourth-place ranking in our division. Soccer Captain Herb Dietz found occasional help when the football team was idle and managed to win two and tie two. Sir Frank Maloney, cap- tain of the gentlemen's game of touch football, was fortunately graced by the availability of such teams, headed by Harry Benninghoff and Frank Maloney, were off to a rather poor start but picked up considerably, and sophomore Dennie Brandt led the squash team through a successful season. In the spring, despite the losses suffered by graduation, captains Warren MacKenzie and Ted Foster of baseball and crew received enthusiastic support from a number of interested and capable sophomores and recorded good seasons. Slow in overcoming the inertia of many years of stagna- tion, Sillirnan was showing signs of developing into a real power. -JAMES F. GARNER ya... i.

For the most part, the pattern of years con- tinued in Timothy Dwight: the eleven o'clock beer at George and I-larry'sg the mid-week trip to the flicksg a few hands of bridge or gin rummy or a bull-session in the snack bar where one went Qhonestlyj only for something to eat and then back to studying. At the end of the week the variously named and unnamed Thank-God- it's-Friday groups gathered, enjoyed good com- pany and good spirits and then to the dining hall to salute Nancy with an abortive attempt at harmony. The questions, not peculiar to Timothy Dwight but certainly a part of it, Where are you going this weekend? or Got a date? or What are you doing after the game? were for- ever posed. All of it continued-a record of the past and, maybe, a forecast to the future. And all of it a part of what one tries to express when showing the spirit of Timothy Dwight. Yet the pattern was not static, not completely setg for influences came, both from inside and outside the walls, and broke into the record. Broke in, changed the pattern slightly, and changed in turn, and then finally were aborted. In its first issue, the Town Crier, under the guidance of editors Dick Chase, Tony Cooper, Dick Potter, and Bruce Wilner, welcomed the new sophomores and then on page two introduced a column by Paul Haerle, which was to run throughout the presidential campaign, commenting on its progress. The series ended with a prediction which turned out to be right. The new sopho- mores, with a year of groundwork in the ways of Yale behind them, came in and settled. Except for a brief period of getting used to the new faces on the part of the oldtimers and newcomers alike, CHARLES H. SAWYER, Masier and moving into new rooms and arranging furni- ture which during the summer somehow managed to get shifted about, there Was nothing that re- quired any adjusting. True, the usual beer was replaced by a Sophomore Dinner, preceded by cock- tail parties for the sophomores, Fellows, and certain of the upper classmen who could offer sage Words on T.D. activities. But this program caused no real change, the original ideas for the dinner were discussed and modified until suddenly it was realized that the sophomores had been there in idea all along and what was all this talk about anyway. But the election was something different. That required a change in schedule. Flicking was de- layed for some because they wanted to hear the very latest developments as broadcast in the seven oiclock news. The time taken for meals and in One bzzmlrml twenty-nine the rooms for talking was lengthened as the two sides argued the merits of their candidate and weaknesses of the opposition, the Eisenhower sup- porters having the larger backing, according to a Town Crier poll, of about three to one. The T.D. Forum headed by Paul Haerle and Steve Reiss brought in such men as Professors Dofb, Dahl and Potter throughout the campaign to diz- cuss the trends and the candidates' speeches and to answer questions. On election night lights burned late as groups gathered to hear the returns, some taking it extremely seriously and keeping elaborate charts and records, others just listening, and accepting the news philosophically or jubi- lantly. Even the excitement of the election could not compete with the football weekends and with the cocktail glasses washed and ready for action, two days each Week were devoted exclusively to dates and parties. The first floor of entry E was opened for one week's blast which was called Monsoon The excellent college support and careful planning by John Friauf's Social Activities Committee made the three college events highly successful. Soft lights and the music of the Yale Collegians, led by Skip Kelley, provided the atmosphere for the Council weekend dinner dance. Mixmaster Jack Holtzapple came up with a punch which was thought at first taste to be a lady's punch but whose after-effects belied the initial impression. At the milk punch party on Dartmouth weekend entertainment was provided by a ballad singer, the ever-popular Augmented Seven, and the piano artistry of Dan Payne. On Princeton weekend there was a late dance which was advertised well in advance by another of Tom Chase's clever posters. The only changes in the college social program were such as would make the parties and dances bigger and better, and this was easily ab- sorbed into the pattern. In fact, the improvements were probably expected as being in keeping with the T.D. tradition of having one of the best social programs at Yale. New things came from within the college too. The Student-Fellows Committee organized a series . ,gf gg W ,'i .X wg, sl 'K ' . .f 'Q efffv-.y Q ws ,.....f One lm 11 drecl thiriy of seminars led by the various Fellows of T.D. This program had a quiet beginning, but interest grew and the number of seminars was increased to meet the demand. Also introduced was the pro- gram of after-dinner coffee for the Fellows and the students on the nights of the Fellows' meetings. The Mott Woolley Council with Bud Neuman as chairman continued to function, opposed by the Town Crier on most issues. Elections were held and the campaigning maintained a dignified aspect. The referendum which was held to try to help in deciding the main project of the year revealed that the purchase of an ice machine was most desired. However, after due research, the project was found to be too costly, and instead the Council bought a pencil sharpener for the library and then gathered again to decide what else might be useful. In the middle of the routine the rumor that Mr. Sawyer was retiring was confirmed, and the inevitable question of Who's next? arose. Specu- lation ran high and the grapevine reported many names, some just an idea, others the official word. Then came the Christmas season. The aide staff took charge of decorating the Town Hall with wreaths and a Christmas treeg Mike Onofrio came over from the Drama School and directed the production of the Christmas play, Fenno Heath contributed time to form and rehearse a T.D. glee club, the pre-Christmas Dinner cocktail parties were organized, and all the little details arranged. On the night of the party, Dick Dillon's loud- speaker filled the courtyard with carols, an innova- tion which majority opinion seemed to favor carry- ing on in the future. The rarely-seen College china appeared at the dinner, and the lighting was supplied by candles. The mood was further established after dinner when the port was served. And then all could sit back and watch the T.D. Dramat's staging of Two Gentlemen from Sohoi' with Phil Lee, Bob Nangle, Dick Dillon, Jean Cattier, Dune Kidd, and Chad Christine as actors and Guy Calabresi, Dick Chase, and Dick Potter serving, for one evening only as actresses. Cos- tumes for the production were by the inimitable Mrs. Clay. To close the evening the glee club presented a program of Yale songs and Christmas music which convinced everyone that the glee club was a good addition to T.D. and should definitely be made a permanent part of it. The end of vacation also meant that the time before mid-term exams was very short. A bit of extra studying started for those who had sort of , st 2 I- '. AV .. , V' let things slide for a while, and for those who were fairly self-confident, extra time for other things. But one day in this part of the cycle, notices appeared on entry doorways saying that Mr. Sawyer would make an important announce- ment that evening. The guesses that this was for the naming of the new master were right, but the speculations as to who it might be went wide of the mark. At dinner the microphone was very much in evidence, and before too long Mr. Sawyer and President Griswold entered to announce that the Master-designate was Professor Thomas Bergin. At this eyebrows went up and people asked one another, What do you know about him? Two days later they had a chance to meet him and his wife, and the Bergins could look around and see what sort of place their home was going to be for the next few years. After it was over, the Om' bn iltfrvil lliiiify-0110 Prexies could say that even if it was a surprise, a good choice had been made. Another change had been taken in, and then the round continued. After exams the college settled down for the quiet period. Hockey and basketball games took up some of the time, but nothing to compare with the fall rush of football games and parties. The debating team with Ralph Moore, Dick Leather, Duncan Whitaker, jan Deutsch, and Fred Crews did well in the inter-collegiate competition. The Forum presented Professors Sirjamaki, Pierson and others, and featured a discussion between Professor Harper of the Law School and L. Brent Bozell. Mr. Edward Weeks, the first Chubb Fellow of the second term, also addressed the group. Then with the Junior Prom in sight, planning for more and bigger parties started with Vance Field, T.D.'s representative on the Prom Com- mittee, the guiding hand. The Social Activities Committee had its work cut out with prepara- tions for the dinner dance. When the weekend arrived, T.D. men did a good job in keeping the average number of dates per man up to a high level. The courtyard was infinitely brighter and livelier than it had been for many months. At the end of April the members of the College gathered in the dining hall for a farewell salute to the Royal Family. A gift of silver was presented to the Sawyers as an expression of the thanks and appreciation on the part of the College for all the things, tangible and intangible, the Sawyers had done. With the con1ing of warmer weather, Prexies began to appear in the courtyard for sun baths, bridge games, studying fhalf-heartedlyj, typing or just sleeping. The fence sitters once again gathered after dinner and spent the time talking. The Tang Trophy team began practicing for the annual bout with Silliman to be held on the College Weekend, and when the time came, competed with previous championship skill. The rest of the weekend was brightened by another production by the T.D. Dramat and the outing. The end of the term saw many of the seniors getting married, either just before or just after graduation. Others were preparing to set out on some new job, some were called by the draft or went on with further study. For the upper class- men it was a matter of packing up, saying good- byes for the summer or until thenf' and leaving. Another year over. Nothing particularly un- usual happened. And yet it was never dull. The new was taken up and made part of the old, and the result was pretty good.-RICHARD H. POTTER Om' lJ1z11iIrz-al lbirly-two 1 ' The year 1952-53 has . witnessed a remarkable brightening of the sports scene at Timothy Dwight. Occupying fourth place in the Tyng Trophy standings at the end of the first semester, she could look back with equanimity to the lean years in the past when T.D. struggled to keep out of the cellar, and hope that the present up- swing will persist in subsequent years. In the fall, the football team, with graduate student Bob Conover as coach, enjoyed only moderate success, finishing its season with a 1-2-2 record, which earned the Prexies third place in the North League standings. High point of the season was the 13-13 tie ground out against Berke- ley, present titleholder and perennial powerhouse. In the annual Harvard fracas, T.D. had the mis- fortune of drawing Leverett House, second-sceded among the Cantab intramural teams. The T.D. contingent didn,t fare too well, crashing to defeat by an 18-0 count. Mainstays of the team through- out the season were Ron Lamarre and Doug Putnam on the offense, and Bill Baskin and Dfck Scope on the defense. Both the soccer and touch football squads came through with relatively successful seasons, the former achieving a 4-5-0 record, the latter a 4-4-1 record. Eric Yavitz was the shining light on the soccer team, scoring close to half the team's total number of goals. Ted Benson also distin- guished himself as goalie. Both had field days in the traditional contest with Silliman. Yavitz pounded in four goals for T.D. while Benson was whitewashing the opposition. The game finally ended in a humiliating 6-0 defeat of the Sala- manders. The touch team accomplished nothing phe- nomenal on the credit side of the ledger but hit low point on the other side, losing to Pierson 60-12. Bill Farrissey counted both Prexie tallies in this game and generally sparked the team throughout the season. Winter sports found all of T.D.'s teams- A and B basketball, handball, squash, hozkey, and swimming-embarked, with one exception, on a successful but not extraordinary season. The ex- ception was the swimming team, which, after trouncing Calhoun, assured itself of an undefeated campaign. Perhaps the most outstanding performer of all the winter sports was Bob Krantz, high scorer on the A basketball team. Led by a large contingent of returning men in each sport, T.D. compiled a spring record in intramural athletics that was neither disap- pointing nor spectacularly successful. Bruce Sands led the baseball team, with capable support of veterans Ted Stamas, Bill Farrissey, and Dick Scope. Crew was perhaps the brightest spot in the spring sports picture, with captain Ham Griffin leading a squad built around returning stalwarts Martin Van Heuven and Doug Putnam. The soft- ball, tennis, and golf teams all performed credit- ably and helped round out a spring season that completed one of T.D.'s best years in intercollege SPOYfS.TJOHN L.

LA Q ' si 1 ' This year at Trumbull brought such a mixture of the old familiar items with many new develop- ments that a history of the year is almost impossi- ble if history is defined in such a way as to force the historian to make a connected and purposeful narrative. Since life in Yale's residential colleges is a subjective and almost nebulous experience in itself, perhaps the best way to characterize the year is simply to record in print a few impressions, hoping that they may later recall the feelings experienced this year. . A history of Trumbull would be impossible without a brief word about the Master. Mr. Nicholas has been associated with Trumbull since its erection with Harkness funds in the thirties, and anyone who has sought his aid on any problem knows how interested he is in the men of Trumbull, individually and collectively. Many a sophomore has noticed the powerful bass voice supporting the singing at different college functions, but they soon heard it as a matter of course, thinking no more about it. Perhaps the year might be said to have started last spring. This is certainly at least partly true, because spring brought the Trumbull Beer and Bike Race into being, one of the most unifying events that ever came to Trumbull. Conceived in the brain of Connie Norman, the race to Vassar was a resounding success, to some degree as an athletic event, and wholly as a social and college function. The sensation of finding that we knew everyone, if only by sight, made the dance at the Dells a real hit. This fall easy notoriety was gained by Finny on the way to Yale as he drove his car all the way from Seattle. To relieve the boredom of driv- ing all that way, Finny donned a mask and went past a woman of faint heart who noticed the mask and that his car bore no licence plates. She en- listed the aid of local police, and at the Housatonic River Bridge toll station Finny was taken. The few f R LLD. 1779, governor of Con- necticut during the War of the i t Baud Revolution. . TRUMBULL COLLEGE was erected from funds given by the trustees of the estate of John W. Sterling, B.A. 1864. Its name honors Jonathan Trumbull, Yale men that read the New Haven Register were amazed to find Masked Bandit headlines over an article on the apprehension of Norris Finlayson. As fall got colder, more and more football games brought more and more parties, which sometimes merged into sameness, although we wouldn't admit it. The organized type of cele- bration was represented by the dinner dance on Dartmouth weekend and the evening dance on Princeton weekend. On the less formal side were the room parties, which varied in size from two- somes to the enormous production numbers like the one Princeton weekend in entry H. The first floor featured Gil Beeman at the piano. The second, alas, was almost deserted, but the third was serv- ing fish and house punch. As usual the fourth floor served Burgundy punch, the three-year staple, and entertainment came from Benson's loudspeaker JOHN S. NICHOLAS, Master Om' ZJIIIIKIVFJ lbiriy-fi1'c and the Goodman 1938 Jazz Concert, which was played at full volume out the window fmarvelous echoes off the libraryj. To complete the picture was the fifth floorls combined refresh-and-enter- tain apparatus which served gin, but not even Essert knew quite why. After such early excitement the routine busi- ness of locating classes and getting used to sitting down for long periods took some time, but there were many things which absorbed our interest out- side the lecture rooms. Due to our late return from our summer vacation, the football team played its Grst game before the spectator-athletes had reg- istered. When the Navy game was discovered to be out of town, many adventurous Trumbullians went to Maryland, but more went to Smith. The Brown weekend, as the first home game, was nat- urally a loud one, and Columbia brought more parties-notably the first Trumbull dinner dance. Concurrent with the weekends was the regular day-to-day living, and by this time most of us had noticed that a new face was saying hello to us in the dining room. Miss Taylor certainly con- tributed to our comfort during the year, and few failed to comment on the improved fare this year. Jack Folsom, as editor of the Trumbullian, noticed a lack of information about daily goings-on and instituted the useful Tf1l171b1lII6'fiI1 to keep the Trumbull man posted on events in the college. This sheet appeared each month and may well be- come a permanent part of our journalistic output. It is quite evident that Yale is trying to do a bit more than give us lists of facts to memorize, and Trumbull's contributions to our enjoyment of the pleasanrcr things in life were seen in many places. One of the first of these was Mrs. Nick's Om' bzmdred ihirfy-six teas. Every Thursday a sign appeared on all the bulletin boards in Mrs. Sperling's careful print saying Tea Today, and those cold, hungry, and lonesome souls who sought out solace always found it at 100 High Street. Particularly popular tea-reading material was the new collection of Punch Cartoons. There were other occasions when we had to dress up just a bit more than usual. One Was the party for Jonathan Trumbull's 24-2nd birthday in October, when sherry in the lounge and steak in the dining hall made even this sacrifice of sar- torial effort worthwhile. This was a particularly festive occasion, and senior Bulls noticed how much more at ease President Griswold was at this time than when he helped celebrate our namesake's birthday two years ago. Another distinguished guest in attendance was Brigadier T. R. Heun, Senior Tutor at Saint Catherine's College, Cam- bridge. Through his and Dr. Nick's efforts Trum- bull has formed an alliance with the British college and may now consider St. Catherine's a sort of sister-college. The dining hall extended itself again for the Christmas party, during which not quite all of the glow in Trumbull faces came from Yuletide con- viviality. Besides this, Mrs. Nick also entertained at a Sunday Carol Sing, where the would-be musicians gathered for song and egg-no-g. It was about this time when Tom Helmick found that due to circumstances beyond his con- trol his draft board was inclined to send him on the path of Fred Hollister, who was drafted before the start of school. It was months before Tom could draw free breath, fairly sure of being able to graduate. Around Trumbull certain changes made little splash, such as the recovering of the pool table, which drew from retirement several of the older sharks. A new ping-pong table appeared, which was also sorely needed. Ubiquitous Mike Stuhl- dreher took time off from early swimming practice and a raft of other duties to repaint Potty, his traditional duty as chief aide, very early in the fall. Equally quiet was the work of Ev Crosby on the Trumbull night programs, which presented such items as football movies during the season and speakers on many topics later on. The snack bar continued to operate under Jerry Hawke, and the fact that now the College Council actually ran it seemed in no way detrimental to the quality of the food. Don Mell, as Council head, was more than slightly possible, having behind him the experience of running it with Fred Smith last year. Few people realized the vast amounts of time being spent by Bob Essert and his subterranean crew, who by mid-fall were able to broadcast the first television program produced at Yale, and apparently at any college. Three programs were offered to the viewing public in the Trumbull Lounge, growing in proficiency and polish with time. The third fall program featured the Mistress of Ceremonies of a professional New Haven station, songs by the Spizzwinks UQ, and a one-act play by the dramat. These television shows were produced by an increasingly large organization, which called itself XVTRU-TV. Their headquarters were in Trum- bull's number one squash court, and there was a marvelously informal manner about the produc- tion of each program. The audience in the lounge could, if it chose, descend to the studio and find out what was being done to produce these sights and sounds. However, this did increase the number of squash courts that were available. This would have been all right, but the basketball element, which later made itself articulate in the person of Tom Chase, athletic aide, caused a basket to be erected in the second squash court. This left only the last, single court for squash, and certain of the non-basketball, non-TV members of the squash team mentioned that this might be the cause of the none too powerful showing of the team in the Tyng Cup standings. After Christmas vacation had all-too-swiftly come to a close, there was hardly time to breathe before the term exams began. The seniors put on their perpetual blase mask, but the draft and other features made graduate school look like a very good idea for many, so these grades, as the last ones that most schools could see, became most im- portant. Perhaps that was why the beer party held only one day after the Christmas vacation was not as lively as the one held early in the fall. -..... 1.11-ft It might also have been the fact that the vacation had left us sadly in need of a rest. Where the earlier beer party was probably the noisiest and most interesting party in three years of Trumbull, with Houk, Doran, and Ingersoll playing and jok- ing to set the scene, the post-Christmas affair was most noted for the instruction of a female ac- cordionist. Following the lead of other Trumbull firsts, the post-exam period found Trumbull initiating a program of bursary aides who replaced the cam- pus guard during the day shift in an attempt at further economy. The News found many reasons for discontinuing the program, and Trumbull men watched-with some pride in being part of the experiment--to see the outcome. Many were relieved to read that President Griswold dd not expect the student guards to report any fellow- student for any rule infractions, and many won- dered what sort of purpose there was to having them there at all. This was answered when it developed that the regular guards would man their posts not only on the night shift, but on all weekend shifts. With the relaxing of the tension as the second and, for many of us, the last term, began, we had time to notice that we had many fellow Trumbull- ians who were active in university affairs. We sent George Watson to the Undergraduate Activities with the class book. Those walking on Elm Street at night almost always could see him at his desk, gathering and marking pictures and figuring lay- outs. His work on the News had ended by this time, and perhaps that was why he seemed to spend so much time on the classbook. Don Mell was our Senior Prom representative, and Franciscus our delegate to the Junior Prom. The up and down basketball team had Plecas and Labriola in uniform, and Mike Stuhldreher was al- ways Working out in the pool. On the less energetic extra-curricular side we had Jim Peterson of the debate squad, and John Potter of the Monday night Mory's Club fWhiffsj. Sherman and Zimmerman continued to spare the compliments when discussing New Haven theatre in the columns of the News. We had our many wheels, and the list includes many more than this, of course. Trumbull men were living up to Franciscus' statement that they lived in The Rising College at Yale. Many were active here and there, while many more men of Trumbull spent their last term in some delightfully relaxed moments, contemplating a very pleasant stay with bridge and chess, at Mory's, at the flicks, or even with a good book. Few knew, or would have cared had they known, that this was Trum- bull's nineteenth year as a Yale Residential Col- lege. This and other figures could show little or nothing about our subjective feelings for our niche at Yale for three years. 'WILLIAM E. HOBLITZELLE Om- lumdrcd thirty-eight ' During the fall sca- . son Trumbull had a football team that won when it scored Qoncej, a touch football team that lost only once, and a soccer team that started slowly and finished with a rush. The football team, under Captain Jack Zimmer- man, scored its lone touchdown against Silliman, winning six to nothing. A strong defensive con- tingent, lcd by A1 Novak and Paul Leserman and supported by Tom Eastman, Jim Carey, Jim Ostheimer, Prank Hudson, and George Sherman, allowed few touchdowns, but those were the margins of defeat. Art Peacock and Jack Zim- merman at the ends, Bob Katz at tackle, Paul searles at guard, and Mel Bedrick at center per- formed ably and spiritedly for the team, which was, to use an appropriate cliche, often dawn, but never out. The sparkling deception of the touch football team rated it the Trumbull sport,s spotlight, as the team won all its games except the initial encounter with Pierson. Captain Jay Selz engineered the highly successful season, while Art Doran was outstanding in his passing to ends Jim Raths and Jim Plecas. Dick Moran, Mead Ferguzon, and Johnnie Benjamin supplied a steadying influence on defense and helped supply the spark that made the team known as a comeback club. Again and again they turned a two-touchdown deficit into Q1 win. Soccer, with Captain Sid Bogardus at the wheel, started slowly but finished a much improved ball club, winning three of its last four games. Not particularly strong individually, the team,s balance showed after it had played a few games. Bogardus at full-back, Bob Davis at wing, Dean Temple at center, and Howie Walker at half-back were among the standouts who sparked the team throughout the season. Bill Lanoue, Tom Jacobs, Jim Haynes, Bill Howland, Art Fransisco, and Bill Usher rounded out the fighting unit. The winter season saw the A basketball team and the hockey squad turn in Hne performances. BU basketball, handball, squash, and swimming all did their part in gathering points toward the Tyng Trophy. Norris Finlayson led the AH squad through a good season with a nucleus of Collins and Rusnak and a solid sopho- more delegation of Barker, ' 4 Guzeman, and Elliot. Raths, Bulkley, and Chase offered good bench support. Ned Gal- lun had a good list of hold- overs to work with in hockey: Heist, Temple, Beadle, Tread- way, Wiitson, and Dilworth- and, as was hoped, they had an excellent season on the ice. Spring prospects, better than they had been during the fall and winter seasons, produced a fighting baseball team led by Jim Raths and Rusty Peacock as well as strong teams in tennis, saft- ball, and golf. Tom Helmick and George Watson also stroked the crew through a good season. Perhaps the climax of spring was the annual fsecondj bike race to Vassar. Here many a Bull man saw the need of some athletic training. -TH1-ionoan H. CHASE Buff: rou'-Hogan-Shaidali, Starbird, Kingman, W'hitaker, Meese, Congdon, Cowell.

Yale Inter-College Debate League The purpose of the Yale Inter College Debate League was to provide experience in debating and public speaking and to encourage excellence in the forensic activities of the Yale residential collegesf' Professor John Adams, Director of Debating and Public Speaking, initiated the idea of the Debate League in 1946. The first Debate Club was organ- ized in Jonathan Edwards College by Professor Rollin G. Osterweis, who later succeeded Professor Adams as director of university debating. By the Spring of 1948, each of the ten residential colleges had its own debating club, complete with faculty advisors, officers and regular meetings. Paralleling the organizational lines of inter-col- lege athletics, the League was composed of the individual debating clubs in each of the ten col- leges. There were four Tournament Rounds held during the course of the academic year. The two colleges which finished the Tournament Rounds with the best records met in a final debate to deter- mine the winner of the League. The college win- ning the final debate was awarded the John Chester Adams Cup. In addition to the four Tournament One hundred forty Rounds, each college club participated from time to time in non-Tournament inter-college debates, as well as debates with other New England col- leges. Debates with girls' schools achieved con- siderable popularity. The meetings of the Debate Clubs and the debates proper, generally started with sherry and dinner, afford occasions of con- genial discussion of topics of current interest. The Inter College Debate Council was composed of two representatives from each of the College Debate Clubs. The assistant to the Director of De- bating and Public Speaking worked closely with the Council as advisor. The Council met regularly during the academic year to choose subjects to be debated in the Tournament, to oversee and encour- age the Tournament and non-Tournament activi- ties of the League, and to make rules and regula- tions for the government of inter-college debating. The inter-college debate program has flourished amid a widespread interest in developing the art of public speaking and debating and currently in- cludes some 250 participants. The program now stands as a major inter-college activity.

Yeager, 1953 Coach: Jordan Olivar It was a cold, bleak day at Soldier's Field, Cam- bridge. Yale had just connected for a touchdown, and some 38,000 shivering fans cast off their blankets as they jockeycd for position to watch Parcells attempt the extra point. The ball was snapped. Parcells moved forward. Then suddenly Molloy took the ball, dashed to the right, picked out his man and passed complete. The score stood at 41-7. As the fans settled back onto their seats, wrapped themselves in their blankets once again, and began looking through their programs to find who the receiver had been, they found to their amazement that the number 99 wasn't listed. Conjecture soared! The captain of the Jayvees? Some new sophomore end? But it was not until some time later, as the loudspeaker blared out its account of the play, that all understood. Charlie Yeager, in accounting for the final Yale point of the game, had become the first football manager in Yale gridiron history to score a point in a varsity game, and brought to a close one of Yale's most brilliantly exciting seasons in many a year. As the fans retired to the various parties, clubs, and dances that evening, they could well look with pride at the job the team had done over the past ten weeks, a pride that could only be heightened by the realization that this team, which finished a hair's- breadth behind second-place Princeton in the Ivy League race, had a mere two and a half months before been selected by sports scribes as having the best chance for the League cellar-and with no little reason. A scant two weeks before the season opener, Early action in the Columbia game 'E ew Om' b11r1zfrc'd forty-fou 1' Herman Hickman, who had coached the team for four years, had found that the Alumni, kept sullen for his entire term here, had at last grown mutinous. The place left open by his resignation was filled by Jordan Olivar, a brilliant coach, as the season was to prove, but one who had no idea of the material with which he had to work. The University of Connecticut was the first school to try this new combination of coach and team. They came to New Haven with high hopes of taking home their first victory in the seven- year-old series. But the weeks of hard work dur- ing the early fall practice paid off by giving Yale a commanding lead early in the game and allow- ing Coach Olivar to give some much needed experience to his surprisingly smooth-working reserves. An attack that could roll with equal ease, either on the ground or in the air, proved too much for the Huskies, and Yale emerged vic- torious, 48-14. On the following Saturday, the team travelled to Baltimore to meet a powerful Navy squad in what proved to be the most disastrous game of the season. Nothing seemed to go right for the Elis. While Navy, with its fierce ground attack and, at times, rocket-like aerials, rolled up a total net offense of 356 yards, Yale managed to squeeze out only six yards net gain on the ground. The air attack was little better as two intercepted Yale passes were turned into Navy TD's. To be sure, there were bright spots in this discouragingly gloomy picture, such as linebacker Joe Fortunato's interception and 32-yard runback of a Navy aerial and a smattering of completed forward passes. But the day was undisputedly Navy's, and their 31-0 triumph served to dampen Eli hopes. When Brown arrived in the Bowl on the next weekend, they found the Yale spirit unmarred by the Navy bruising, however, and a much improved Bulldog offense rolled to 340 yards both on the ground and through the air, while the hard- hitting defense held their opponents to 130 yards net. Molloy to Woodsum was the pass-word of the day. The shifty end hauled in six passes, going all the way with three. Then in the fourth quar- ter, a Brown safety-man fumbled a high Pruett Top-loner 019: tackle scorer through a faorde of eovzlorted Darlmouth defefzfemezz.

Fight and Fliglatf Co1'nell's plight punt and the ball rolled into the end zone where it was recovered by Woodsum for his fourth TD of the day. But Brown wasn,t out of the game yet. On the kickoff, Sandy Kessaris took the ball on his own eight yard line and raced up the left side line. Then came one of the most beautiful individual defensive plays of the year. Dick Polich, the only man between Kessaris and pay- dirt, stalked his prey for some twenty yards, maneuvered through the two Bruins intent upon his removal and nailed the runner on Yale's fifteen. Brownls scoring hopes were ended. Final score: 28-0. Mitch Price and company provided the Elis with one of their most exciting games of the year. Passing with deadly accuracy, Price gave his team a 14 point lead early in the second quarter, after two Yale bids had been side-tracked by a fumble and a penalty. But the Bulldogs came roaring back, utilizing their balanced attack to cover 71 yards in ten plays. Molloy accounted for the last 18 as he darted through the huge hole Brittingham and Polich created in the center of the Columbia forward wall and crossed the goal line standing up. At halftime, the score stood 14-7. Midway through the third quarter, Yale started another combined ground and air attack, with Molloy passing to Poole and Wfoodsum and handing off to Armstrong and Jones, the Elis covered 72 yards to knot the score at 14-14. Price's long pass to Mercier restored Columbia's lead within three plays, and the Bulldogs had to settle down to another sustained attempt. Just when things looked as if the Blue might be stalled with fourth down on the Lion's 22, Smith made a diving snag of a low Molloy pass, falling inches over the first down marker, Jones crashed through the Columbia line and the score was tied at 21-21. But once again Price hit Mercier. With less than five minutes remaining in the game, the Lions lcd by seven. But Yale wasn't to be counted out yet. Moving behind the superior play of the bulldozer-like Blue line, the Elis struck the pay-dirt with 2:40 left to play. Then came the first real break of the day. Mercier fumbled the kickoff on his own 23. Phillips dove. And the Elis had a chance for the winning score. Once again Jones' legs and Molloyls arm moved in beautifully. Poole took a pass on the 16 and dodged his way to the 10. Two plays later Molloy hit Poole on the 2-yard line. Amid a roaring din, so loud that the ofhcials had to ask for quiet in order that the signals could be heard, Jones crashed into the end zone. Columbia's des- peration aerials failed as the clock ran out, and Yale won 35-28, for the highest winning score of the twenty-four year old series. Following up their tremendous show of spirit and power of the previous week, the Bulldogs pol- ished off a Cornell eleven that couldn't seem to get Wire ben' to score again ,pm 7' ...ff -'gif qu- - V ,va 1. .- sf, r' ' far L., 4 V. : 5 ig., K A ,qgggx 31,26 , sf : , fi. ,..

Yale took an early lead on TD's by Molloy and Arm- strong, and from then on the game took on the aspect of a combined offensive-defensive Yale scrimmage. Though the Elis couldn,t push the ball across the goal in the second half, most of the game was played within the Cornell 40. Tension never had a chance to develop, as the Blue had possession of the ball for forty of the sixty min- utes. Capt. joe Mitinger led the defensive team in a brilliant show of power, holding the Big Red to a net gain of 108 yards and making Yalefs first victory over Cornell in five years a 13-0 shut-out. Lafayette proved spirited, but ineffective, and provided Yale with a breather. The Elis almost broke their first-period jinx, scoring in 0:04 of the second quarter. Molloy to Woodsum was the scor- ing combination on a twenty-eight-yard pass. It was a double score: the first of seven TD's for Yale, and the shattering of Larry Kelley's record for total yards gained by pass receiving in his col- lege career by Woodsum. Forty-five one-sided minutes later the scoreboard read 47-0, as the Bulldogs ehalked up number five. According to the forecasters, Dartmouth came into the Bowl to give the Elis their roughest game since Navy. But the talented passing of Molloy, the explosive running of Jones, the steam-rolling forward line, and the stone wall set up by the defensive platoon proved too much for the In- dians. Brock Martin,s fifty yard punt return straight upfield behind scythe-like blocking that gave him an open path provided the longest Yale run of the day. Yale's defensive stalwarts held the Green to only S9 yards gained on the ground -54 of which came in the first period-and 164 through the air. Despite a broken nose, suffered in the starting minutes of the game, Molloy was able to complete 13 of 23 passes for a total of 168 yards. After the first quarter Dartmouth One blzndred forly-fix dwindled as an offensive threat and Yale went on to end a Hve year drouth with victory over the Green, 21-7. All eyes were now on Princeton, defending Big Three Champion and another five-time winner over the Blue. As the game got under way before a packed Bowl of 71,000, a slow drizzle began to fall which kept up intermittently throughout the game, putting a serious crimp in Yale's passing attack. In the Bowl that day the top-rated offense and the second place defense in the East met the second-rated offense and the top-rated defense. And that is about the way the game worked out. It was a gruelling, hard-fought contest, with each team rushing up the field only to be ultimately stopped before it could reach pay-dirt. There were seven exceptions to this characterization, four for Princeton and three for Yale. But for most part, the game seemed to be a contest between an irresistible force and an immovable object. A long run by Smith, a beautiful fifty yard punt return by Unger, and a pass from Unger to McPhee pro- vided Princeton with a 27-21 edge in a game that kept practically every fan in his seat right up to the final gun, despite the fact that many had no raincoats and even those who did found it impossible to keep dry. Though the game will go down in the record books with a six-point advan- tage for the Tigers, the Elis left the Bowl that afternoon with the satisfaction of knowing that they had been the only unit all season to outgain Princeton in net yards. Molloy, Armstrong, Pruett. Smith, Brittingham, Wfoodsum-thc whole team played a game of which Yale men will be talking for years to come. The last game of the season threw a powerful and well-balanced Yale offense against a fighting, but unequal, Harvard squad. From the very start, the game belonged to the Elis. jones broke through the center of the Harvard line, going 37 yards for the score after having a 56-yard TD run nullified by a penalty. Then Molloy and XVood- sum swung into action, completing nine of thir- teen passes, with three going for touchdowns. Even after Coach Olivar had cleared the bench, Harvard was able to amass only 14 points. Yale moved with the beautiful precision teamwork that had characterized their play all season. Despite the valiant efforts of Dick Clasby and his team- mates, the Blue rolled up the greatest number of points it has scored over its traditional rival since 1884. Added proof of the strength of the 1952 Bull- dog squad are the four records, two Yale and two Ivy League, that fell to them. Wfoodsum accounted for three of them in the pass-catching department. By snaring 11 TD passes this year, he established a new Yale record for touchdown passes caught by one player in a single season. At the same time, he raised his three-year total to 17, also a Yale record. His third record-breaking performance came as he amassed a total of 634 yards by pass receiving in one season-an Ivy League record. Molloy set a new record for passes completed in one season for both Yale and the Ivy League as he threw his ninety-third completed pass to Chuck Yeager for the Hnal point of the Harvard game.

Prospects seemed dim indeed with only three returning lettermen, but untried sophomores and former junior varsity men Hllcd the gaps, and swept to a record of nine wins and two ties, before dropping the finale to Harvard. Navy, a perennial power, proved sub-par and Yale found no trouble in garnering a 6-2 de- cision. Sophomore wing Bill Lee led the scorers with four goals, while Whit MacQuarrie and Hank Blodget, forming the terrific one-two Eli scoring punch, each hammered in their first goals of the season. Continuing the rampage, MacQuarrie picked up four and Blodget three in the 7-1 massacre of Brown. The University of Connecticut provided the Blue with their first real opposition of the season. Play was sloppy during the Hrst half, and Yale left the field trailing by a single tally at halftime. Reviving in the third period, the team improved Captain: Paul C. Dietche, 1953 Manager: J. Lee O'Nan 1953 Coach: John Marshall its passing attack and MacQuarrie fired the win- ning shot in the fourth period. 1-Iampered by the loss of Lee, the team next took on CCNY, sup- posedly a metropolitan power. They proved vastly overrated, however, and fell before an eight-goal barrage. Blodget equaled the season's scoring record with his four goals, and the defense was almost impenetrable. Captain Paul Dietche provided the spark as the Elis scored an impressive 4-0 victory over Cornell. Assigned by coach Marshall to cover All-American George Boateng of the Red, Dietche outplayed and outfought the North African star, delivering the coup de grzice with a goal of his own.

Ev Rose, Don Mell, and Mase Willrich turned back successive Cornell attack waves, and goalie Pete Parker came up with a superb shutout job-his first in the nets. Complacency and an unbeaten Springfield team finally caught up with the Blue, and the result was a double overtime 1-1 tie. The visitors took an early lead and were the aggressors throughout most of the game, however, in the fourth period a tre- mendous Yale rally pushed the ball into Spring- field territory, and MacQuarrie compensated for a missed penalty shot with the tying goal. One bllfltffftf fiflj' The Wesleyan game saw another overtime neces- sary, but this time it ended in a 3-2 Yale victory. Hutchinson and Stewart combined for a brace of goals, but Wesleyan forced the game into extra periods with a fourth-quarter goal. A penalty kick by Stewart preserved the Blue's seven-game un- defeated skein. Scoring once in the second and twice more in the third periods, the team turned back a deter- mined but impotent Alumni aggregation. Man- ager Lee O'Nan made his debut as a player, and the Alumni were aided by several varsity sub- stitutes. All available manpower was needed in the con- test with Trinity, possessor of that rare phenom- enon, an undefeated and unscored-upon team. Action was packed into the second period as the Elis gained a lead, lost it, and took it again on goals by MacQuarrie and Blodget. Despite the cold, windy day, play was fast and excellent with Parker turning in a remarkable job as goalie. The string of victories was momentarily halted by Pennsylvania, whose defense kept the team off balance. Stewart and Yarnell exchanged early rallies, but a spotty offense left scoring oppor- tunities few in the second half. In undisputed first place in the NESL, Yale next took on Princeton and Harvard in defense of her Big Three title. Off to a 3-0 lead in the first period against the Tigers, the team could not hold on, and lapsed into a 3-3 tie with 50 seconds to go. Rallying with characteristic spirit in the overtime, the Blue put on the equivalent of an all-court press, Blodget finally got the winning marker with a shot through a wild melee in front of the goal. With a record of nine wins, two ties, and no losses, the team looked forward to closing with a win over previously-unimpressive Harvard. What- ever the cause, they were rudely dumped by the host Crimson squad in a stunning 3-2 upset. Trail- ing for one of the few times during the season, Yale made it a 2-2 contest on Blodget's 18th goal of the year in the fourth period. But a questionable roughing penalty on fullback Willrich produced the penalty shot which marred the undefeated season and sent the Big Three title into a tie. For their outstanding performances over the season, Dietche, MacQuarrie, Blodget, Parker and Lee were invited to play against Bermuda for an all-star collegiate group. Dietche, Parker, and al- ternate Bart Laehelier made the trip, campaigning with some success against the islanders. Cross Country alrrzerf efwlt Halrwvl V61 in elbm onallf Coach Bob Giegengack's pre-season hopes for a - - f f ff 'f successful campaign were based on the return of four lettermen and some excellent freshman pros- pects. These hopes were realized as the Elis com- piled an impressive 6-2 record in dual meets. On September 25, the Blue harriers encountered Navy and upset the Midshipmen, 26-295 the inaugural win at Annapolis was paced by Mike Stanley, Bob Stevens, and John Cleary. At the next outing, running on the new Yale course at the golf course, Coach Giegengack's men easily out- distanced the Brown harriers, 20-43. Brown's Molineaux sprinted past Stevens to capture first place honors, but the Blue team copped the next nine places to win handily. After Jack Meader and Stevens had led the runners to a 21-40 trouncing of Columbia, Cornell encountered the Elis. Despite a record-breaking performance by Stanley and fine running by Cap- tain Rollie Garofalo, the Big Red defeated the Blue, 24-31. Rebounding from the loss, Yale's powerful middle strength crushed Massachusetts. 23-38, the home side placed with Stanley, Martin Meeks, Stevens, Cleary, and Garofalo. The Bulldog next defeated the Fordham Rams, 25-32. Eli depth was again the big difference as Stevens, Cleary. Captain: Roland J. Garofalo, 1953 Mamzgrr: Otis P. Pearsall, 1953 Coarla: Robert Giegengack and Stanley placed high. The defending Elis Went to Boston with dreams of retaining the Big Three Championship and the Main Trophy. The fast-starting Cantabs quickly put an end to such aspirations as they Came in first, Yale hnishing second. In dual scoring Har- vard defeated Yale, 24-31, and the Elis vanquished Princeton, 23-38. The Bulldogs were disappointing in their last two meets. Fond hopes for a second place in the Heptagonal meet were crushed as Army, Cornell, and Navy came in ahead of the Blue harriers. The Elis avenged their Big Three defeat, however, by beating Harvard in this meet. Stevens placed thirteenth, and Stanley came in fourteenth. Joe Albanese, Seiff, and Garofalo also scored for Yale. Yale finished fourteenth in a Held of twenty-two teams in the 1C4A meet. Mike Stanley placed twenty-sixth in 26:12, the fastest time of the year.

Weber, 1953 Managrfr: Howard A. Levine, 1953 Coach: Howard Hobson The 1952-5 3 Eli quintet was plagued throughout 1 the season by its inability to protect first half leads, and as a result lost several games after having been in front at the end of one canto of play. The Bull- dogs' offense was often inconsistent, and easy layups missed, such as in the second Dartmouth game, sometimes meant the difference between victory and defeat. On the other hand, Yale was capable of coming through in the pinch, as in the first Harvard game, and in spite of providing Coach Howard Hobson with his first losing season, the team performed well against some of the top quin- tets in the country in compiling a 10-15 record for the season. The season opener at Providence against Brown proved successful as Yale, minus the services of Captain John Weber due to an ankle injury, whipped the Bruins 64-57 on the basis of Jerry Labriola's long one-handers. Unfortunately, the University of Connecticut spoiled the Elis' home debut by a score of 76-68. A late Blue rally produced a 48-48 tie at the end of the third period, but the Connecticut defense thenceforth proved impenetrable. A red hot unbeaten Navy team stopped Yale in a high scoring 88-73 contest. Captain John Weber, showing the form which made him last year's high scorer, led the Elis with twenty-three points. N.Y.U. slapped a third consecutive loss on the Yale five, downing the Blue in a free fouling affair 87-72. Le Roy and Weber led the Eli scorers again as N.Y.U. won by virtue of its thirty-one foul conversions. Coach Hobson's lineup changes brought a change of fortune when thirteen players Two for Three Cmfm' of Aifrm 11011 UConn Up combined to produce a 79-59 victory over Hofstra at Hempstead, Long Island. At Kansas City, Mis- souri, in the Big Seven Tournament, Yale startled the experts with a 56-54 upset of Colorado, then nationally ranked. A spectacular Eli defense com- bined with the steady point production of Le Roy, Wfeber, and Spence Schnaitter gave the Blue one of its most gratifying wins of the season. Top- ranking Kansas State ended Yale's short winning streak, 79-70 with Weber and Kansas State's All- American, Dick Knostman, both scoring twenty points. Missouri won thc consolation finals with a two point 57-S5 verdict. The Blue defense was outstanding once again, but it wasnyt enough to produce another upset. W'ith the end of the Christmas vacation and the period of trial and error over, Yale settled down to the important business of the season, in which twelve out of the remaining sixteen games were with Ivy League opponents. Although led by All- American Ernie Beck, the Pennsylvania Quakers, favored in the Ivy race, never came closer than ten points to a dead-eye Eli five. Frank Demeak, Dave Sears, and Shep Smith held down high-scoring Beck to help produce the 76-64 Blue win. The tables were turned at the return match, however, in which Yale was able to sink only three out of thirty-eight shots in the first half. Beck,s twenty- five points kept the Quakers out of reach and Yale suffered its seventh defeat. The final four non-Ivy games provided little Ove bznzdrezf fffty-fum' TWUIJN' S1100 fs help in the win columnn. Army beat the injury- ridden Elis at W'est Point 70-67. Rebounding with one of their best games of the year, Coach Hob- sonls cagers swamped Colgate, 82-72. Ed Dodd of Colgate took scoring honors followed by Labriola and Le Roy for Yale. After exams, the Blue dropped close games to two of the top teams in the East, Fordham and Holy Cross. Playing possession ball, Yale led down to the last few minutes of both games but couldn't survive the frantic finishes. A home and away series with Cornell put Yale back in the win column with double upsets, spill- ing Cornell out of Ivy contention. Led by Schnait- ter, the Blue overcame a nine-point deficit and hung on to their lead with possession tactics in the last period to win 72-66. On the home floor, using a combination of fast break when points were needed and possession when a lead was built up the Blue again upended Cornell, S6-47. Two away games proved disastrous as the Princeton Tiger snapped Yale's modest winning streak with a 66-59 upset over the favored Bull- dogs. Le Roy, Jay Dishnow, and XVally Schiff stole the ball time and again in the fourth period, but the Elis couldn't sink their shots and never came closer than four points. In the second game with Columbia, Yale played vastly better ball, but couldn,t stop high-scoring Jack Molinas and com- pany from gaining a 71-64 victory. It looked like a repeat performance when, with four minutes to play, Princeton was again leading Yale by nine points, but a docile Eli quintet sud- denly came to life and exploded for twelve points to nip the Tiger 67-64. Dave Hobson stole the ball several times and scored six of the final twelve points, Bob Hairding out-rebounded Princet0n's Foster Cooper, and Le Roy coolly sank two foul shots with twenty-five seconds remaining, to pro- vide the Blue with the margin necessary for victory. Hard fought contests were the rule for the last few games, as the Elis fought see-saw battles with both Harvard and Dartmouth. In an overtime game at Cambridge, Jim Plecas sank two foul shots to tie the game up and then lofted the ball in from thirty feet out as the buzzer sounded to defeat the Cantabs 70-68. The story was slightly different against Dartmouth. Leading by fourteen points early in the game, the Blue managed to lose the lead and found themselves behind by eight points with flve minutes to play. Led by Plecas' jump shots and defensive rebounds, Yale pulled up within one point with thirty seconds remaining. Le Roy stole the ball, but shots by Weber, Labriola, and Plecas were off the mark, and Dartmouth dropped in a foul and a layup as the buzzer sounded to take the contest 64-60. The final game with Harvard was won by Yale, giving them the Big Three title and a tie for third in the E.I.B.L. Even though the season record was a relatively poor ten wins and fifteen losses, Yale showed very well in Ivy competition, winning three out of their last four games to produce the strong finish characteristic of Yale basketball teams in past yC31'S.

One faznm'1'edy5fly-fi1'e Hockey Hockey Team Fails in Final Stretch Vive Murray Murdock's 1953 sextet began the year with high hopes of winning its second Pentagonal League championship in a row along with a possi- ble NCAA bid, but a fatal letdown in the last three games against Princeton and Harvard de- prived them of the first, and possibly the second. As it was, the Eli puck chasers, always a power in Eastern hockey circles, finished out the season with a very creditable 13-8 record. Northeastern University provided the opposi- tion in the opener, which saw the somewhat dis- organized Bulldogs on the short end of a 5-3 score. Gil Colgate, Hrst of a platoon to be tried in the nets, was handicapped by a sloppy defense and was unable to cope with the fast-skating invaders, despite tallies by John Scully, Leigh Quinn, and Captain Larry Noble. Boston College, next on the list, resulted in defeat number two. Bob Kloppen- burg paced thc Eli attack with two goals, and Joe Hudson made a total of 41 saves, but again a Captain: Lawrence M. Noble, Jr., 1953 Manager: John A. Morgan, 1953 Coach: Murray Murdoch faulty defense and a lack of coordinated passing proved fatal. Dick Whelan, whose previous experience was limited to intercollege hockey, opened in the goal against powerhouse Boston University, and great was the surprise when he turned back the Ter- riers, 4-1. Dan Lufkin and Wally Kilrea each banged home two goals as the Blue scored an im- portant and unexpected win. The alumni, despite an impressive roster, proved little more than an opportunity to clear the bench, while Noble picked up a hat trick out of the 11-3 debris.

Frou! row-Colgate, Scully, Smith, Kilrea, Noble QCaptainj, Lufkin, Kloppenburg, Culotta, Quinn, Whalen. One lanndred fifty-fix three at R.P.I. In a preview of things to come, the Elis were defeated by Princeton, 4-2, and St. Patrick's by a S-4 count. Although improvement was noticeable, the Blue could only salvage a 4-2 win over host R.P.I., who, significantly enough, was chosen at the end of the season along with BU as eastern representatives to the NCAA,s at Colorado Springs. Several important items were recorded as Yale returned to regular season play with the Pentag- onal League opener against Brown. The first was the establishment of the Elis as a third period team, the second, the tightening of the defense which allowed only 16 shots at nettender Whelan. An outburst of four third period goals clinched the affair, as Noble, Kilrea, and Quinn again lead the scorers. A week later hapless Dartmouth proved no match for the Blue, succumbing 4-2, and Brown again proved generous, allowing nine Eli shots to hit the nets. Quinn set a new season's record with 4 goals in the Providence contest, a game which saw hot tempers, flying sticks, and liberal penal- Sezfona' Line in Aciion ties. St. Lawrence again proved a thorn in the Blue side scoring a 4-3 win. Another melee was in progress, this time a deluge of beer cans which threatened to delay the game until Captain Noble called for order. Despite the interruption, the hockey was fast, exciting, and excellent, Lufkin scored unassisted and Kloppenburg banged one in to cut the deficit to one goal in the third period, but a penalty ruined a desperate Eli drive with only seconds remaining. Turning on the heat, the Blue scored four suc- cessive wins, including Pentagonal Laegue tri- umphs over Dartmouth and Princeton. Whelan turned in his first shutout against the Green, but his performance was overshadowed by Dart- mouthis Russell, who went over, under, and around Yale's attack to make the phenomenal total of S1 saves. In the next contest, Clarkson's sextet took a 2-1 second period lead, but paid for their fun with a barrage of 7 Eli goals in the third period. In a Monday night contest at Princeton, the sextet hit the high point of the season, edging the Torrey Saves for Primtvfozz One hundred fifly-Jefezz Tigers in a close and exciting contest, 2-1. With the Elis trailing by one goal in the third period, Dan Lufkin knotted the score, and play seesawed back and forth until Kilrea hammered in the win- ning goal with only a few seconds remaining. An interesting feature of the contest was the Prince- ton goal, scored by star center and Captain Hank Bothfeld on a solo ten seconds after the game began. Bolstered by their fifth straight Pentagonal vic- tory, the Elis slaughtered Army 10-0, behind a roaring attack bolstered by an enthusiastic home crowd. Kilrea, with three goals, led the assault on the seemingly dazed Army goalie, while almost everyone else, including the second defense, got into the scoring act also. But this was the zenith as far as Yale was con- cerned, for the Elis next dropped their all impor- tant second game to Princeton, and both contests with Harvard. At the top of the Penragonal stand- 0 Brief Moment of Glory 0 A Busy Night for Russell 0 K10j1jJf'r1b1n'g Slips Om' Tbroiigla One lvumireil fifly-eight ings with 5 wins and no losses, a win over second place Princeton would have made Yale almost a certainty for top honors. In the home game of the series, however, the Blue dropped a 3-2 heart- breaker after leading by two goals in the first period. Reversing their usual form, Yale started as if to make a runaway of the game. Hig Gould opened the scoring on a power shot from the blue line and less than two minutes later, with the Tigers a man short on a penalty, Kloppenburg slapped in a pass from Chet Dann. But Princeton, paced by the Hank Bothfeld-Pete Gall duo, and with Blair Torrey in the nets turning back suc- cessive waves of Blue attackers, tied it up in the second period and went on to score the clincher early in the third. Yale, alternating linemen be- cause of an injury, could not Hnd their early spark, and a six man attack was turned back as the game ended before a shot could be taken. A.I.C. provided a supposed breather before the hrst Harvard game, but they proved to be tougher than estimated, taking an early lead before yield- ing, 3-1. Ten of the fourteen man Aces squad were from New Haven, but familiarity with the Arena was no help as the Blue skated to their llth win. The combination of Hubbard and Coolidge proved too hot to handle at Boston, the Johnnies virtually crushed Yale's Pentagonal and Big 3 hopes with a S-2 defeat. Scoreless for one period, Harvard broke away in the second, and goals by Quinn and Kilrea proved not enough to stop the hard-checking Cambridge squad. The Eli hopes, dimmed by the defeat, were brightened again against Middlebury as the Blue took a 5-2 decision, while in Boston the same night Harvard knocked off Princeton, throwing Yale and the Tigers back into a tie for the Pentagonal League leadership, each with a S-2 record. The second Harvard con- Roberfson Assixlfd by KI!2f7!7Cl1Z7ll7'g test emerged as all important, but again Yale could not win when the chips were down, and dropped a 4-2 decision. Playing before a howling Junior Prom audience, the Elis held a short advantage, and tension mounted as a 2-2 score prevailed into the Hnal period. Clasby and company proved too much, however, the Johnnies driving home 2 goals in the last four minutes to end the Yale bid for a repeat of their ,52 championship. Final standing showed Princeton the leader with a 6-2 record, followed by Harvard and the unhappy Bulldogs with identi- cal 5-3 slates. In the season's windup, the Blue took on their favorite sparring partners, Dartmouth, in a benefit game, proceeds from which were to go for an artificial ice unit at Hanover. Statistically and financially the game was a successg Yale emerged a 5-1 winner, and Dartmouth's defeat was consider- ably softened by the large gate receipts. In reviewing the season as a whole, one inter- esting fact about the team's play might be noted. Although the Elis were at the start of the season noticeably a third period team, the reverse became true near its close. In both the crucial second games with Princeton and Harvard, the Bulldogs scored two quick goals in the first period and there- after remained powerless. The Bulldogs were hampered somewhat by the lack of a high scoring center to match the efforts of Dan Lufkin and Larry Noble on the first line. John Scully held the position most of the year, with Turk Smith playing a little in the final games. However, Wzllly Kilrea took scoring honors for the year with a total of 33 points on 19 goals and 14 assists. He was followed by Captain Noble with 28 points and Lufkin with 25. Noble also had the dubious honor of accumu- lating the greatest number of penalties, eight in all. Unb! One laufzdred Hip'-nine Swimming Swimmers' Sleein Reaches Century Mark Submerging all fifteen of their opponents, the Yale varsity swimming team powered their way through another brilliant season to extend their winning streak, begun in 1945, past the century mark. Using every man on the squad at one time or other, Bob K1phuth's natators were never se- verely pressed, winning five meets by at least forty points and never allowing their opponents to come within less than ten. From the starting gun of the sole pre-Christmas contest, the Elis took complete control, allowing the University of Pennsylvania only one first place and two seconds. Jim Norton, the sole senior to swim that day, garnered a first in the backstroke followed by Arnie Green. Ken Welch put on a beautiful exhibition in diving to capture the three- meter event with 110.6 points. By sweeping every event with the exception of the 200-yard breast- stroke and the 220-yard freestyle, the Bulldogs accumulated 69 points to Penn's 15. Returning from vacation, the Elis met and subdued Fordham to the tune of 60-24. Wayne Moore swam his first race of the year, winning the 440-yard freestyle event in 4:35. Joe Burnett, who won the 150- yard individual medley against Penn, proved his versatility by taking the 220-yard freestyle, while Wfhitfield Won the three-meter dive. The sole Ram victories came in the 300-yard medley relay and the 100-yard freestyle event. Dartmouth was able to provide Yale's mermen with the stiffest competition that they had met so far, winning three events and placing second in four, but the Eli strength proved too great and the Indians were ducked 49-35. Kerry Donovan and Don Sheff turned in nice performances in the Cajrfuin Moore One hundred .1 ixty 50-yard Q23.1j and 100-yard C51.3j freestyle events respectively. Next to visit the Yale Pool was Springfield. Though they were able to capture half the first place positions, the Eli depth kept the Springfield swimmers from moving into enough seconds, and the final tally read 47-56 in favor of the Bulldogs. Perhaps the outstanding performance of the meet was turned in by Thoman, S. Smith, and Donovan, who sped over the 300-yard medley relay course in a very respectable time of 2:51.6. Travelling to N. Y. U., the Elis countered their 90th consecutive win with a score of 51-33, taking six of the ten Hrst places and seven seconds. Two days later an undefeated Army squad arrived on the campus in high hopes of repeating their upset victory of 1945, but all such aspirations were soon dampened by the splash of the Elis as they moved into all but one first and two second places. Arrayed against the Black Knights of the Hudson were all but three of the first line Yale The Flying Mc'rn1r'11 mermen. Dick Thoman, Dennis O,Connor, and Kerry Donovan all turned in splendid perform- ances in the 300-yard medley relay, while XVayne Moore, Jim McLane, and Don Sheff did equally Well in their specialties. The result of such power was seen in the 63-21 difference in score at the close of the final race. Perhaps the most surprisingly stiff competition offered to the Elis this year came from the XVes- leyan natators, who met the Bulldogs in their own pool. Inspired by their competition the men from Middletown broke several of their own pool records before Yale finally rallied with the aid of Captain Wayne Moore to sink its adversary 48-36. Swimming UConn and Columbia on consecu- tive nights, the Elis proved once again the strength of their entire squad. Using only a few of his men in both meets, Bob Kiphuth subdued the opposing mermen by totals of 64-20 and 62-22 respectively. Two Columbia pool records were smashed in the process, Wayne Moore lowering the 220-yard freestyle mark by two-tenths of a second with a time of 2:10, and Marty Smith covering the 440-yard freestyle in 4:45.3, 2.8 seconds better than the existing record. Captain Wayne Moore added two more record times to his train as he smashed two Navy pool marks, in the 220- and 440-yard freestyle events. This backed by Dick Thoman's 1:35.6 in the 150- yard individual medley, enabled the Elis to gain an easy 50-34 victory over the Middies. In the closest race of the day, Navy's Gil Rindahl out- touched the Bulldog's John Schaefer and Ken Abbe in the 50-yard freestyle, but all three were clocked within two-tenths of a second of one another. Colgate was the next team to encounter the Elis, but their efforts proved no more successful than that of their predecessors, as they bowed 55-29. Holding their opponents to two firsts, the Yale mermen had little trouble in taking com- Culbfnin: XVayne R. Moore, 1953 Manager: Alphonsus S. V. Giglio, Jr., 1953 Couch: Robert J. Kiphuth plete control of the contest and the issue was never in doubt. Unleashing more power than he had hitherto used, Coach Bob Kiphuth started preparing his first line swimmers for their big meets at the close of the season as the Bulldogs moved into Providence to take on Brown. McLane, Sheff, Welch, Norton, S. Smith, and Moore all captured first places and Don- ovan swam a 22.8 in the 50-yard freestyle event. Highlighting the Princeton meet, Dick Thoman set a new world's record in the 100-yard back- stroke, as he was clocked at 56.4 in his leg of the 300-yard medley relay. Following his exam- ple, the Elis swept all but three events, allowing the Tigers a victory only in the 440-yard relay. Final score: Yale 57-Princeton 27. In the final dual contest of the season, the Elis travelled into the land of the undefeated Cantabs, who had hopes of securing their first Ivy League Championship in many years. Breaking or tying every meet record with the exception of the breaststroke, the Elis placed first in all but two events. Dick Thoman, Dennis O'Connor, and Frank Chamberlain started the record-smashing by clipping almost three seconds off a fifteen-year- Om' hlIl1lfl't'LI six ty-one ixgsmlb irlwi, lf- eg 5 ' Lvl -jaw? ij, of 5 r ip?

Harvard's only other victory came in the 200-yard breaststroke as Ralph Zani and Emerson succeeded in relegating Yaleis Dick Curtiss to a third place position.

Skiing Lezele of Lettermen The 1953 Yale Ski Team can be characterized by a comparative strength in the alpine events- downhill and slalom, but a decided weakness in the nordic events-jumping and cross country. Only two letter-men, Captain Brooks Kelley and junior Burr Dodd, who led the team this year in alpine events, returned, the remainder of the team being made up of sophomores, in an attempt to build a stronger team for next year. The first meet of the year was the Eastern Intercollegiate Skiing Association Class B cham- pionship held at Lyndonville, Vermont, which Bowdoin won and Harvard took second. The team had a sixth place in both downhill and sla- lom, but dropped to last place on the basis of the nordic events. The second meet of the year was the Williams Winter Carnival where Yale com- peted with the best college ski teams in the coun- try. The meet was won by Dartmouth with Middlebury second, both teams having men on Capfain: Brooks M. Kelley, 19 S 3 Manager: Theodore H. Fuger Jr., 19 S 3 H indent Blue Skiers 7' V 'V . . 1 ' ' . Q.

The annual Giant Slalom competition with Harvard at Brom- ley was called off due to poor snow conditions. The last scheduled meet of the year is the Yale- Harvard Slalom which is held at Tuckerman's Ravine during Spring Vacation. Princeton also competes, making the meet the Big Three cham- pionship which Yale has won for the past three years. Second row-Bofse, Frish, Gray.

The fact that the team was composed at the end of the season entirely of juniors and sophomores augurs well for the future. In the opening meet of the season, Yale unmer- eifully crushed Rutgers 27-3. Downey at 177 lbs., and Jerry Jacobi at heavyweight both pinned their opponents, as did Rollie Molinet at 137 lbs. Theri- ault, Mead, Abdelnoor, and Hawkins all took decisions as the Eli matmen made their debut an auspicious one. Against Springfield, however, the greenness of the Bulldogs showed, as they dropped a close 14-12 decision to their more experienced rivals. Each team won 4 matches, but Spring- f1eld's man pinned Dave Dibbell at 130 lbs., and that was the difference. In another close meet with Columbia, in which there were no falls, the Elis almost came out on top, but had to be satis- fied with a 12-12 deadlock when Dick Polich lost a close decision at heavyweight. Wliite, Abdel- noor, Hawkins, and Downey all took decisions. In the following contest with Hofstra, which was billed as a Long Island versus Long Island match with five members of the Yale team coming from thereabouts, Bob Theriault set the pace at 123 lbs. with a pin in 2:30 of round 1, and Mead, Molinet, and Kousi all won by decision Capfain: William F.

Against perennial powerhouse Army, however, Yale fared not as well, and came out on the short end of a 16-10 count. In the feature match of the day, Downey kept his undefeated string intact by holding last year's intercollegiate champion Al Paulekas to a draw. Theriault and Balch both took 1 point decisions, and Bob Mead gained a draw at 130 lbs., but Bill Hawkins, wrestling at heavyweight against a man 40 lbs. heavier, lost a close decision, and the match went to the Cadets. The following weekend 2,200 partisan fans at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania watched Lehigh's power- ful Engineers pin a devastating 27-5 defeat on the Bulldogs. Bill Downey pinned his man at 177 lbs. with a half nelson and body press, but by this time the Elis were hopelessly behind. Bill Hawkins again gamely wrestled heavyweight against a man vastly outweighing him. Yale bounced back against Penn, dropping only one decision at .137 lbs. to score a 23-3 triumph. Cap- tain Downey at 177 lbs. again led the Eli parade with the only pin of the afternoon in 2:25 of the first period. Theriault, Mead, White, Balch, Kousi, and Polich, who spotted his man 20 lbs. at heavy- weight, all won decisions. The Bulldogs stayed on the winning track against Brown, squeezing out a tight 14-12 triumph. Downey again pinned his man with a half nelson and crotch hold to break a 9-9 deadlock and ice the match for Yale. Theri- ault, Mead, and Balch also contributed victories to the Eli cause. At Princeton the team was ham- pered by various injuries, with John Kousi being forced to default at 167 lbs., and so suffered a 26-7 setback. Downey won his fourth straight Horseplay You Lose Your Charm When You Raise Your Arm pin with a half nelson and bar hold in the final round, but Theriaultis draw at 123 lbs. provided Yale with its only other points. National cham- pion Brad Glass continued his winning ways by pinning Dick Polich to give the Tigers a large margin of comfort. The team closed out the season in grand style, however, with a 15-9 trounc- ing of Harvard. Captain Lee decisioned Theriault at 123 lbs., but Mead equalled the count at 130 lbs. jack White lost a close decision at 137, but Bob White again evened it up in the 147 bracket. Again the Cantabs went ahead, raking the 157 lbs. match, but John Kousi, wrestling with an injured shoulder, took his match to even it up for the third time. Captain Downey then closed out an undefeated season by decisioning his opponent 8-1, and Dick Polich followed suit to put the team over the .500 mark as the season ended.

Zarem, 1953 Coach: John Skillman Murphy and Coach One hundred Jixty-Jix Seeking their sixth National Intercollegiate Championship in seven years, the varsity squash team began its season in early December with a S-2 victory over McGill of Montreal. Most of the team played well, but Captain Blair Murphy had yet to gain top form and was defeated. Ten days later with Murphy in form the Blue squad swept by an undermanned Amherst team 9-0. Continuing on the vic- tory path, Yale easily conquered Dartmouth 8-1. Then Fordham and Pennsylvania both fell by identical 9-0 scores. January found Yale facing Army, which had been the only team to beat the Elis the year before. Yale gained sweet revenge as they shut out the Black Knights 9-0. The Eli racquetmen remained undefeated in their next match as they defeated Williams 8-1. On January 14 Yale faced one of its strongest opponents of the year in a powerful Navy team. Navy had not beaten the Elis in over twenty years, but unfortunately this was the year. Murphy and Lachelier won, but reliable Bob Dewey lost and Navy took the match 6-3. Wesleyan was crushed 9-0, and a strong Princeton team went down to defeat 6-3, as did M.I.T. 9-0. Hopes were high as Yale met the Cantabs, but due to the brilliant play of Charlie Ufford, who was later to win the National Intercollegiate Singles Championship, and his team- mates, Harvard won a decisive 7-2 victory. Bart Lachelier Won his match and became the only Yale player to remain undefeated all season, as the Elis finished their dual season with an 1 1-2 record. In the National Intercollegiate Teams Championship, Yale made a fine showing. Both Murphy and Dewey reached the semi- finals before being defeated. Fencing J 'ei 4 p.

Fencem er orm Well nder ew ouch A victory over Harvard enabled the Yale fencers to complete a winning season with a dual meet record of four wins and three losses. After splitting two pre-Christmas unofficial meets with Rhodes Academy and the Newark Fencing Club, the team got back from vacation barely in time to absorb an 18-9 loss at the hands of Pennsylvania. Yale bounced back against C.C.N.Y. the next week to win, 18-9, and embellished the record with an easy 23-4 win over Bradford Durfee Tech. Despite heroics by the foil team, led by Captain Dick Hannegan and Dawson Shoemaker, Columbia narrowly defeated the Blue, 15-12. Rutgers then suc- cumbed 18-9, as All-American epee man George Jacoby, among others, won his bout. The Pentagonals in New York were next, and the team per- formed creditably, taking second place behind a strong Navy team but ahead of Princeton, Army, and Harvard. Bill Goering and Jim Addiss took the third and fourth place honors respec- tively in individual sabre, while Tom Solan took fourth in epee. However, the Elis suffered a relapse the following week against Princeton, and were edged 15-12, despite Goering,s three sabre victories. Appropriately enough, the three seniors, Joe Bodner, Captain Hannegan and Solan, led the way to a 14-13 win over Harvard, victory was assured with five bouts to go, but the substitutes failed to win. Sophomores Jules Cohen and John Sutton fenced well in their Hrst season as varsity regulars, Jim Drass, Frank Moore, Kris Keggi, John Haesler, Lew Ford, and Gray Williams showed fine support for the team throughout the season.

Yale tied Farmington 9-9, and then went on to score wins over Mt. Carmel 9-5, Squadron A 21-13, and Princeton 19-2. The weekend before the National Intercol- legiates found virtually an all Yale lineup in the finals of the Sherman Five Goal Handicap tourna- ment in New York. Butterworth, Marenholz, and Miller, in a tightly fought all-Yale battle, downed XVallop, Long, and Packard 15-14 to gain the indoor five-goal title. Prineeton's default from the quarter finals of the NCAA tourney placed the Blue in the semi-final round against Colorado AZSCM, newcomers to college polo. Yale's regular starters. Captain Hannah, XWallop, and Miller downed Colorado 18-6 with Hannah stroking in S goals. The starters were replaced in the final period by W'elch, Long, and Paclsard at 1. 2. and 3 respectively. Both XVelch and Packard tallied once. Cornell, having overcome New Mexico Military Institute 6-3 in the semi-finals, faced the Elis for the Championship. Despite determined effort, the Ithaeans found themselves at the short end of a 6-3 score at halftime. The Big Red trio rallied strongly in the second half, but they were unable to cope with the hard-riding Elis. Aided by the excellent defense work of Miller and Hannah,s five goals, Yale won 9-8, thereby gaining its first Intercollegiate polo crown since 1942. Capfaifl: James A.

Leach Haumzlv Rider Again i l art' O' 'foliage 1952 Crew Eli Crew Upsets Cezntezbf in Centennial On August 3, 1852 two shells raced on a small lake in New Hampshire in a very informal contest. One was a Yale shell, the other was manned by a Harvard crew. Last year, when Yale raced Har- vard in the annual renewal of this ancient rivalry, it was a much more formal affair. It marked the 100th anniversary of the oldest intercollegiate rowing contest in America. Yale's win in the 1952 race came as a double prize, first because of the historical interest and second because of the odds against Yale at the outset. For the 74th occasion, the crews of the two schools converged on training camps facing the winding Thames River for the 100th anniversary. Before an estimated crowd of 30,000 on hand for the colorful yacht regatta, on the river banks, in the railroad observation cars or other vantage points, Yale rowed to the biggest upset in the regatta history. From the early preparatory sessions that started in the fall of the previous year, and resumed again on the wintry Housatonic in late February, the expectations of those concerned with the for- mation of the various boats were high for a most successful completion of a tough schedule. The optimism was based mainly in the early stages on a host of veteran candidates, ranging from the experienced varsity to the 150-pound classifica- tions, and bolstered by the promise of talented oarsmen competing for places on the frosh boats. From the beginning, the blending together of individual talent into a cohesive team unit, more One hundred seventy Capfain: Courtland M. Schmidt, 1952 Manager: H. Lee Gendler, 1952 C0aelJ: James Rathschmidt essential in rowing than in any other athletic competition, was the main problem. Each new combination, in the early stages necessitated by illness and later by striving to Ht the right tempo in the rowing machine, brought about the ex- pected improvement. The final cementing of co- ordinated effort culminated in Yale's now historic win over a highly-favored Harvard crew in the 100th rowing of the ancient rivalry on the Thames River at New London in June. The varsity win in the regatta was matched by an equally stirring display of courage and fortitude on the part of the junior varsity shell. Working under the guidance of Coach Jim Rathschmidt for the second year, the varsity met what was to become the nation's best in the opening event held on April 19 over the two-mile Housatonic River course. The opposition was from the oarsmen of the United States Naval Academy, who showed mid-season form to out-distance the Blue shell right from the one-quarter mile mark through to the finish. This same Navy shell was to go on to represent the United States in the Olympic Games at Helsinki, where they won. For the inaugural of the Yale rowing season, veteran coxswain By Stevens returned to steer the Yale combination. Another senior, Nordy Stevens, was given the pace setting assignment at stroke, with Phil Grover moved to the starboard number seven oar, from his previous assignment in 1951 on the port side. Captain Court Schmidt worked the number six slot, a late shift necessitated by the illness of Karl Heilman. Schmidt had previ- ously occupied the number four seat. Dave Beebe took over for Schmidt, and Charles Wiglit settled in number hve, with veterans John Hincks and the 1953 captain-elect Ed Crossman at number three and bow respectively. Jim Campbell, a junior the Carnegie Cup Regatta. Dom jomo replaced Stevens at stroke for the event, and Don MacNary spelled Grover at number seven. The remaining competitors were the same as for the Blackwell Cup. In the one and three-quarter mile competition on Lake Carnegie at Princeton, the Elis finished two seconds behind the winneris time of 9:08, and Cornell brought up the finish in 9:11.5. Still striving for the right combination of co- ordination that would propel the Yale shell to a greater degree, Parks Shipley was moved up from the jayvee boat to the varsity number Hve oar, and Ken Reynolds was assigned to the number two slot Burging in Har' bullrusfars Poriage who developed rapidly in pre-season preparation, took over the second oar. Navy's power-laden boat started the race with a 34-stroke, to Yale's 38, and both settled down four counts by the end of the Hrst minute. The boats leveled off at 32, but Navy's tremendous stroke spelled the difference right from the first quarter-mile as the shell pulled into a lead that was steadily increased by the sailors to win in the time of 10:21. Yale finished at 10:40. Heilman returned to competition for Yale,s de- fense of the 1951 winning of the Blackwell Cup title, and occupied his customary number six slot. Schmidt returned to four, and Beebe moved back to two. Over the one and five-tenths mile distance of the Harlem River in New York, Yale carried a stroke of 33, upping to 36 at the quarter-mile, then to 38 and a Hnish beat of 40 to Hnish second to Pennsylvania. The winner was timed at 7:30.6, Yale at 7:31.4, and Columbia at 7:38.6. Second place went to Yale behind Princeton in One hundred xwefzly -one for the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges' sprint championships on Lake Carnegie. Over the 2,000 meter distance, Harvard elimi- nated Yale by a boat deck in the second heat, going the distance in 6:10.4, to the Blue's time of 6:11.7. Yale defeated Columbia by three seconds in the same sprint. Navy won the finals in 6:03.7, with Wisconsin second at 6:09.3. Harvard Hn- ished third in the same time rowed by Yale in the elimination heat. Harvard entered the starting lane with a record for the season of two wins in five meets, while Yale had yet to cross the finish line first in the 1952 campaign. The Elis on June 2 had moved into the Gales Ferry training camp, with spirit high, and worked hard, usually under adverse weather conditions. But as the weather would have it, the water surface for the race was rough for the first half of the race, but a ten to twelve mile northwest headwind abated in the final two miles. Still striving to find the right combination that had eluded the Yale camp throughout the season, Yale went into the Hnal week of pre-regatta preparations by switching Charles Wight to the number seven seat from the junior varsity. The race got under way, with cox By Stevens at the helm, and Don Jomo at stroke. From the start, Yale moved into an early advantage and was never headed. The stroke settled for the Elis hitting 31-32-33 to Harvardis main beat of 29-30-31. With a half-mile to go, the count for the Yale shell went up to a 33-34-35. Yale held a two- length lead at the three and one-half mile point. Harvard pushed up to a 39 as the finish neared, but rowing a steady 36, Yale held the margin, finish- ing a length in front of the Crimson. Yale's time was 22:49.0 and Harvard 22:52.8. The race was the second Yale win over Harvard since 1935, and the 41st in the regatta history. The Yale varsity oarsmen remained in training for the post-season trials for the XV Olympiad held at Lake Quinsagamond, Worcester, Mass., during the fourth of July weekend. The Elis lost out in the early heats in a program that witnessed Navy's undefeated shell continue undefeated to represent the United States at the Olympics.

But the dire prophesies con- cerning the squad's future were dispelled by the appearance on the scene of Mr. Waldo Johnston, despite his duties as Secretary of the Alumni Board, Mr. Johnston generously offered his coach- ing services and proved of invaluable aid to the liglitweights. The veteran squad, depleted by only one grad- uation, opened the season in an auspicious manner. The first race was the traditional Kent meet at Derby. Despite its usual fine crew, Kent was unable to weather the varsity eight and Yale won by open water: the Flis covered the mile in 5:15. The crew next met Dartmouth, again at Derby, the jayvees encountered the Brown heavyweight freshmen. Both squads won handily, finishing in times of 5:10 and 5:15 respectively. Following an open weekend the liglitweights traveled to Princeton for the traditional Gold- thwaite Cup race with Harvard and Princeton. After a bad start in which both rival crews gained .1 lead of over a length, the 150's rowed hard and well to overtake and beat Princeton soundly. Un- Capfain: Arthur L. Moseley Jr., 1952 Mamzger: J.

The junior varsity and freshman squads also took sec- onds, with Harvard winning the former and the Tigers garnering the decision in the yearling matches. The following week the 150's again journeyed to Princeton, this time for the EARC regatta, with eight crews in elimination trials. The morn- ing heat saw all three Blue entries qualify by plac- ing second, the varsity and jayvees to the Crimson and the freshmen to Princeton. ln the final heat a great Pennsylvania crew upset the Yale applecartg the Quakers maintained a high 38 beat for the first quarter-mile and never settled below 11 34 to win the Henle in a sizzling 6:57 time. Harvard finished second, with the Elis a clcse third. Om' fillllifwil' .wi Pllfi-fZH'1'L' 1952 Track Tmekmen Extend Indoor nal Meet Sleezn Captain: Richard T. MacDougal, 1952 Manager: Alfred C. Phillips, 1952 Coach: Robert Giegengack Yale's 1952 indoor track squad successfully ex- tended its string of unbroken victories in indoor dual meets to 21, although it met with varying success in other meets over the course of the sea- son. The Elis' unofficial 1952 debut came on january 19 at the Knights of Columbus meet at Boston Garden. Sparked by Frank Ef1nger's great running, the two-mile relay team defeated Provi- dence College in 7:56.4. The Eli one-mile relay combination of McDougal, Meader, Stanley, and Lewis also won the Ivy Group event in 3:24.9. In the opening dual meet of the season against Brown February 2, the Bulldogs successfully pre- served their skein of victories with a convincing 69-30 triumph in the Coxe Cage. Tod Lewis paced the Elis with a double victory, the only one of the afternoon, in the 60-yard dash and broad jump. Mike Stanley and George Dole also helped the cause with respective triumphs in the 1000- yard run and the two-mile. Against a star-studded NYAC field on Febru- Brief Interchange ary 9, Yale never had much of a chance. The Bull- dogs took third in a mile relay field of four, but George Hipple was the only Eli to distinguish him- self with a fourth in the high jump competition at 6'3 . However, the following week, Yale bounced back with a well-earned 69 2f3-39 1f3 victory over Harvard in the Cage. Mike Stanley turned in his outstanding performance of the sea- son in winning the 1000-yard run and the mile, which he had never run before in competition, in the excellent time of 4:22.8. In addition, Stanley anchored the victorious two-mile relay quartet. Tod Lewis again annexed both the 60-yard dash and the broad jump, and Dole in the two-mile, Ross in the weight throw, and George Hipple in the high jump also won their respective events to in- crease the margin of victory. In the 31st annual IC4-A indoor meet, held in Madison Square Garden, Yale finished 10th in a field of 42 colleges. The Elis were paced by Joe Chadbourne, who made his longest toss of the season, 56'5 M , to take third in the 35-lb. weight throw. Mike Stanley also took a third in the 1000- yard run, and George Hipple tied for Hfth in the high jump, but otherwise Yale did not fare well in the stiff competition. Again Yale bounced back the following week to take a close second to Army in the annual I-Ieptagonal championships at the 168th Street Armory in New York. With two events remaining, less than a point separated Yale, Princeton, and the Cadets. In the two-mile relay, the Elis won handily, and needed a third in the final event of the evening, the mile relay, to de- throne Army. However, the Cadets finished Hrst, and Yale never managed to come close to the third it needed so badly. The Bulldogs closed out their indoor season March 15, with a 61 1f3-47 2f3 trouncing of Dartmouth. Again, Tod Lewis led the Elis with victories in the broad jump and 60-yard dash. Joe Albanese and Mike Stanley alternated first and second in the mile and 1000-yard events, as Yale kept its record of consecutive victories unblem- ished for another season. The Southern Relays in Birmingham provided the setting for the outdoor squad's opener, but Tod Lewis and the two-mile relay team were the only winners for the Blue. The versatile Lewis set a new Southern broad jump record at 23'11M and placed third in the 100-yard dash, while the relay team breezed to an easy 8:01.6 clocking. the year, the Elis were edged by Princeton in a meet that Went down to the final relay. Chad- bourne led a strong performance in the field events with a new Yale-Princeton record in the hammer throw, Lewis won both dashes and tied the 100- yard record in 9.7, and a sweep of the high jump gave the Blue an early lead, but Albie Rauch wrapped up the meet for the Tigers with an im- pressive anchor leg in the mile relay. A not-too- welcome sidelight from the Yale point of view was Buzz Taylor's 25-foot broad jump, the equivalent of a golfing hole-in-one. Harvard, offering little solace to the victory- starved Elis, sent them reeling off with an 83-57 defeat. Mike Stanley's double win and Chad- bourneis weekly record in the hammer, this time at 179'8 , were the only bright spots, as an inspired Cantab squad, led by Bob Twitchell, revenged themselves for past massacres. 'af MTV i I e .4L. 'A Stanley leads Princettm Dole's third place in the two-mile run left Yale in fifth place in the unofficial team battle. Two weeks later, at Annapolis, sophomore Mike Stanley became the Hrst double winner of the sea- son, capturing both the mile and the 880. Three firsts and numerous seconds fell to the Blue, but Navy's depth torpedoed Yale by twenty points. Rain, mud, and a top field proved disastrous at the Penn Relays, and the team finished out of the money again. The mile relay team of Joe Albanese, Frank Efinger, John Meader, and Stanley, was third, but Tod Lewis proved the biggest surprise with a similar finish in the top flight invitational dash field.

An injury to Lewis left Stanley as the only threat in the run- ning eventsg he came on strongly to place second in the 880 and fifth in the mile. Chadbourne and Aloe Ross were the expected one-two, but the Hip- ple twins contributed the only other points of the day in the high jump. The countryls best were just too good for an outclassed Blue at the lC4A's, the climax of the outdoor season.

He predicted a bad year for Yale, and his prediction was accurate. The Eli nine experienced one of the worst seasons in its his- tory, compiling a record of ten wins and twenty- two defeats. It was a season brightened by occa- sional feats of pitching brilliance and sparked by the hitting of a few individual standouts. But hot and cold batting and sloppy Helding made the year one of disappointment and unfulfilled promise. The traditional spring vacation trip to the depths of Dixie left the Yale batsmen with a dis- tinct distaste for Southern hospitality. After lead- ing Fort Meade by a 10-4 score, the Bulldogs found themselves on the short end of a 13-12 count. Bob Di.wlpP0z'nti1fzg Semon Brownis homer highlighted the team's first victory of the season, a 5-2 win over the University of Richmond. Next on the agenda for Yale was the annual round-robin tournament in Chapel Hill, N. C. Two double-headers, against North Caro- lina and Michigan State, saw the nine drop all four games, the last loss, a tense pitcher's duel, was a 1-0 extra-inning setback by the Spartans. At Durham, ace Dick Groat led Duke to twin victories over the Blue, but the Southern trip ended on a triumphant note as the Elis blasted out a 12-hit, 8-6 victory over the University of Virginia. Captain Eddie McHugh, making his Hrst appearance of the season, singled home two win- ning runs to defeat the Cavaliers.

Scoring three runs in the top of the tenth frame, Fordham edged the Elis by a score of 5-3. In a desperation rally in the bottom of the last stanza, the Yale batsmen sud- denly turned coldg with the bases loaded and none out, the team tallied but once. Leaving ten men stranded, the Blue displayed the inability to hir in the clutch which was to characterize later con- tests. A juggling of the line-up, a three-hit per- formance by John Bjorn, and a sparkling relief job by Skeeter Ellis failed to stem the tide of defeats as Springfield quelled a feeble Yale nine by a 2-1 count. Walk softly but carry a big stick Om' lmmlrezl scwniy-eight Captain: Edward J. McHugh, 1952 Manager: Donald F. Devine, 1952 Coach: Ethan Allen Relentlessly the skein of losses extended itself. At Providence, in the Hrst Eastern Intercollegiate League game, Brown swept both ends of a twin- bill, 5-4 and 9-3. A late rally fell just short of achieving victory in the opener, Dave Reed's three- for-four in the first game and the hitless relief pitching of Chuck Pease were among the only gleams of hope in an otherwise gloomy afternoon. Two errors, a double and a single gave the Univer- sity of Connecticut an 8-6 edge as three runs blasted across in the ninth inning. In a pouring rain Christy Emerson pitched inspired baseball and John Kingsley hit the first home run of the regular season for Yale, but all efforts were in vain as the Huskies fashioned the sixth straight loss for their It'll only hurt for a minute traditional rivals. West Point,s Cadets lowered the Elis further into the mire of the Northern Division cellar, as the Blue experienced a 4-3 defeat. Spirits soared as Skeeter Ellis, Varmint Ball shut out Lafayette, 2-O. In taming the Leopards for Yale,s first regular season win, Ellis allowed only four hits while striking out seven. Tiny Tony Aguiar, up from the junior varsity, played flaw- lessly at the keystone corner, while Dave Reed drove in both runs with a double and a triple. A double-header with Harvard resulted in a split, Harvard winning the 16-hit opener, 11-7, and Yale triumphing in the night-cap, 2-0. The first game was a wild and Wooly affair, eight Cantabs crossing the plate in the last inning. In striking contrast, Chris Emerson required only seventy-five pitches to master the Crimsons in the abbreviated finale. A vicious 19-hit barrage downed Columbia, 9-4g Bill Saunders' four hits and Jim Plecas' sack-clear- ing double in the second inning were prominent features of the aroused Yale attack. McHugh, hitting safely in eight of his last ten trips, was the leading batter in the Eastern Intercollegiate League at this point. Traveling to Hanover, the Elis met Dartmouth and halved a twin-bill with the Green. Yale scored all its runs in the opening frame of the Hrst game on a walk to John Scinto, Brown,s double, Mickey Chasanoff's single, Reedis grounder and Bill Mc- Dermottis stolen base. Dartmouth dropped the opener, 3-2, but bounced back to take the second game, S-1. In a right 2-1 contest, Colgate up- ended the high-flying Blue, with only three hits to their credit, and leaving eight stranded, the Elis seemed to be reverting to earlier habits. Exams apparently intensified this downswing. The Upsala game saw Yale blow an early S-O lead to lose, 9-5. In the Holy Cross thriller, Merriwellis men twice came from behind to knot the score, but a rally gave the Crusaders an 8-4 decision. Princeton's Dave Sisler bowed out of collegiate baseball with an impressive gesture: retiring fifteen men in a row, the talented Tiger gave up only one hit in shutting out the Blue, 1-0. Against Wfest- over Air Force Base, Yale, chafing under three post- exam defeats in as many attempts, chalked up Warllz up eleven runs in the first inning, Skeeter Ellis had the situation well in hand as the Elis recorded a 17-3 victory. Down to Old Nassau went Yale-and came back on the wrong end of a 4-2 count. In the an- nual commencement game, fireman Emerson put out a Harvard blaze in the seventh frame to win, 4-2. The second game of the series saw Emerson notch his third victory over Harvard as a McHugh- sparked Blue built up a 6-1 lead, then weathered a Cantab rally to down the Johnnies, 8-7. News of a different type was that Dick Tettel- bach, 1950 baseball captain, was named the West- ern Association Rookie of the Year. Captain Eddie McHugh elimaxed a brilliant career at Yale by signing a contract with the Boston Braves. Mc- Hugh, also a captain of the basketball team, led the nine in batting, doubles, and triples, hitting .500 in EIBL competition.

Captain Dave Prince, defenseman extraordinary, led the stickmen to a season's mark of nine wins in twelve contests- assuring Coach Bill Harkness' proteges of a promi- nent national rating. The Bulldogs opened the season with a nine-day Spring vacation jaunt through the South. The year's first game saw the Elis trounce an out- classed University of North Carolina squad to the tune of 23-1. Paul Casey and Dick Gifford, with five goals apiece, were Yale's big guns in the Battle of Chapel Hill. In a game highlighted by strong, well-knit offen- Crlpfailz: David D.

Top scorers were Aldy Warner and Ames Thompson, each rallying three goals. Play- ing in ankle-deep mud, the lacrossemen won their third tilt in as many days, triumphing over Penn- sylvania. A hot and cold Yale team, trailing 4-3 at half-time, scored ten times in the last half to over- come the Quakers, 13-5. The high-flying stickmen took their fourth straight at the expense of hapless Adelphi, 16-3. Maintaining an eleven year tradition, Army's perennially powerful Black Knights downed a somewhat toothless Bulldog. Despite a stellar per- formance on the part of midfielder Bill Duncan, the Cadets triumphed, 9-6, Hugh Young's open- ing goal, recorded after forty-eight seconds of the first quarter, set a pace which never lagged as Yale routed C.C.N.Y., 20-2. Two days later the Blue turned back Williams, 11-35 Casey, with five goals, took scoring honors. Dartmouth unwrapped a strong offense, but goalie Pete Parker made an im- pressive number of timely saves to thwart the Indians as the stickmen swept to their seventh win, 7-5. R.P.I., however, overwhelmed Yale, 8-2, in Om' bzzmlri-il viglaly Wb11,s the joker in ibn' crowd? the squadis second defeat of the year. The Engineers met a determined Blue attack with experience and speed which the Elis could not match. Rebounding from the defeat, the team swamped Hofstra, 10-4, but were in turn edged by a powerful Princeton aggregation, 10-7. Ted Torrance, 1953 captain-elect, played a leading role in the Yale scoring with two unassisted goals. The highlight of the season, however, was yet to come. In the Harvard game, the Elis clustered six goals in the first period, going on to crush the Cantabs, 12-3. The sparkling play of Casey and White was Left-Dick Reid goes if alone Below-Bulldogs on fbe allude particularly notable in the traditional finale. In the post-season North-South All-Star game at the Polo Grounds, Yale was amply represented.

Its 1951 counterpart had been ranked second in the East, sixth nationally. But only three veterans re- turned from that power-packed crew, the breach left by graduation was never adequately filled. Coach Johnny Skillman's fourth season saw his squad post a disappointing 4-5 record. The Spring vacation trip was unsuccessful, but enjoyable. Two encounters with nationally top- ranked Miami resulted in twin losses, but a tri- umph over Concordia brightened the picture. In the Palm Beach Invitational Tournament, Yale,s John Bush and Nick Brady upset Miami's doubles team. The season's first three matches produced three satisfying wins. Against Fordham, the netmen swept the singles, triumphing 7-2. Navy presented a more formidable foe, but Captain Al Schwartz posted singles and doubles victories to lead the team to a 6-3 win. Columbia fell 7-2, as the Blue took its third straight. Then calamity struck, in rapid succession Am- herst, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Davidson low- ered their respective booms on a game but falter- ing Eli aggregation. The Amherst tilt, which Yale dropped 6-3, was a severe blow to the squad, Schwartz, leading in his match with Ed Wesley, sprained his ankle and was subsequently defeated. Dartmouth then routed the Bulldogs, 6-3, and a strong Princeton team took its thirty-Hrst con- Schwartz secutive triumph, this time by a count of 8-1. The identical score was posted the next day by David- son, as Ted Wood tallied the lone victory. The Brown match saw the Elis vent their wrath on the Bruins by a resounding 9-0 score. But Har- vard turned back the Blue, 8-1. The 1952 squad had considerable talent, excellent coaching, and undiminished spirit.

Led by Captain Line Roden, one of the outstanding golfers in the East, the sophomore- packed squad was defeated only by Princeton, and captured fourth spot in the E. I. C. A. champion- ships. Following their annual spring sortie to Pine- hurst, the Blue opened with a 6-1 conquest of Wesleyan. Wide margins were the order of the day, as Roden took a 7-6 win and Doug Stevens eased to an 8-7 victory. UConn fell by a similar margin, while outmanned Sienna was blanked in becoming Yale's third straight victim. A two-year, eleven-match winning streak was shattered as Princeton played host to the visiting Elis. Roden, at number one, met his nemesis in Nassau captain Bill Ragland and bowed to the Tiger's birdie on the eighteenth. Sophomore stars Murray Vernon and Wally Kilrea split their matches, but superior depth left Princeton with a 4-3 margin. Reversing their Tigertown performance, the Blue knocked off powerful Holy Cross, 4-3. Coach Joe Sullivan's strategy in moving Vernon to the number one slot paid offg his loss to Crusader Paul Harney was balanced by the easy wins of Kilrea, Rcden, and Wislar at 2, 3, and 4. Harvard pro- vided the next opposition, but the Cantabs were crushed, 7-0, Kilrea leading the way with a spar- kling 8-7 win. Defending champions in the Eastern Intercol- legiates at Annapolis, Yale was shunted to fourth position in the team race behind Virginia, Prince- ton, and Navy. Roden, however, evened his score with Ragland before bowing, one down, in the individual finals. Ending the season against Amherst, the team swept to its sixth win and third shutout.

In keeping with its resolution last year to in- crease in efficiency and service, several concrete steps were made toward this goal.

Furthermore, in an attempt to be of service to the visiting spectators, an information booth was provided in the railroad station on the Princeton weekend. In addition Loew's Inc. was quite generous in providing a means of entertain- ing all rivals who cared to relax before going on-stage themselves, not to mention the whole- hearted support and cooperation of the fraternities with the Key on weekends. But all was not work for members. Compensa- tion for their labors came in the form of a lavish buffet dinner last spring and several beer parties during the fall and winter. A trio of able direc- tors was elected in January in the person of Ed Thornton, Dudley Shepard, and Jim Anthony, and the Key is looking forward to another year of expansion in its services and devotion to the Yale athletic scene.

H i I N I --Q-...,.,,,, -. x -Q N rn-N S 1 Yale Banner Publications Call it reaction, call it individualism, call it the American way-1953 brought a resurgence of capitalism, and found the Yale Banner Publica- tions at the forefront. We were capitalists all, it was in our blood, and We didn't mind a bit. We were fiercely proud of our vigor and merit. The Banner was at a new peak of strength and, we felt, service. There was no prospect of backward evolution. And when the profits were divided up at the end of the year, that would be nice, too. Sporting a fluorescent I Like Ikev button, Chairman John Gray fostered the concept and atmosphere of board of directors for our meet- ings, an approach which served only to heighten enthusiasm for the magic of it all. Gradually a new but very viable formula, of conservatism along with uninhibited joi de Vivre, permeated our group. Paul Oshirak reflected this by proving him- self to be that rarity among business managers who can effect economy without being tagged an ogreg Paul was noted equally for graphs and laughs. Managing Editor Anthony sought to conceal the facts surrounding his conspiracy to produce a 1953 Yale Banner by opening with his standard gambit: Let's live it upf' Living up to dead- lines proved somewhat harder-if indeed less im- portant-than the guudeumus postulate, however, and multifarious forms of coercion were employed to extort the requisite man hours from heelers and junior editors. Indeed, Marx must have had healers in mind when he formulated his theory of surplus value. Having smacked the class of 1956 in the teeth with its first taste of Yale life in the form of the Eli Book, Bill Hoblitzelle spent the remainder of the year supplying us with glimpses of his pretty dates, and joining Vice-Chairman Dick Devine in multi toasts to hastily contrived ideals at senior board meetings. The line was drawn on idea-man Devine when he suggested moving the Banner offices to Poughkeepsie. Stan Brainerd con- tinued the Aristotelian tradition of pleasant casualness so long a characteristic of Old Campus editors, but his plot to use all old cuts in the albums met with some resistance among the fresh- man class. Treasurer Theodore Hall Fuger Jr., et al, D.B.A., exhibited extraordinary legal apti- tude by spellbinding the jury and emerging vic- torious in Yale Banner Publications vs. Tontine's Ajlizza, setting countless precedents. Bob Fox received unanimous backing of the sophomores for his extensive party plans, which generally carried the day. As if the bacchanalia of the Dartmouth and Princeton parties weren't vast enough for him, Fox finally was able to give full vent to his booze-procuring propensities over the Prom weekend, on the occasion of Oshirak's absence. Neither the supply of liquor, the dates, nor the ubiquitous Del Beeman,s songs were in the least inhibited, at what proved to be one of the merriest of the year's blasts. Ed Dear, only known human to successfully combine the spirit of the arfistr' with that of One bzmdred eighly-seven Machiavelli, midwifed the monthly '56 through a year of excellent coverage of freshman activities. Known for his dex- terity with the stick of an airplane as well as with an editor's ruler, Dear could disport on topics raging from Swiss type faces to baby alligators. After conducting and correlating the Banner Surzfey, pollster Rog Robbins felt confident that he knew the Yale man sufficiently in profile to publish a complete volume of his findings. Bill Coke, reputed to be a gentle man on the heelers, showed opposite traits by expropriating the expropriators in extracting ads from numerous and varied accounts. The new piano elicited a wide range of talent from both expected and unexpected quarters. Each of J. J. Stoll's Dixie numbers had a story to it, which would be fully related on the least provocation. Except when De-wa-de-boom Bill Waldron was singing over his activities section, his keyboard version of Gumbai-papav could be counted upon to set up sympathetic vibrations among all others in proximity. The only thing Anthony seemed to know was Greensleeves,', a lack compensated for by the fact that he played it in every key. The bulk of the junior board descended on Phil Gray's house in Vermont during ski seasong Ron Murray, having boomed when he should have schussed, proved to be the only lwrs dz' combat. Murray was punished for his absence from the oHice during the subsequent week being made to write IO Point Lino Garamond on 12, 17 picas a thousand times. He agreed that it was a healthy thing for the production manager to know these things. Intent on the highest form of perfection in his college section, Chris Parker used bis ski poles to prod recalcitrant contribu- tors, and recommended the technique to his successor. Mike Linburn met with similarly signal results, in his job of shoring up the financial end of ,56, by building fires under intransigent advertisers. MI-Iere may the fires of friendship burn, quod Mike. After calming his initial disillusionment caused by thinking he was through heeling when his comp was over, Phil Zeidman was saddled with one of the most involved and imposing assign- ments given a sophomore in some time: writing the Bazzzzvi' SIH'l'l'vj'. Building on Robbins' carefully articulated and cross-filed information, Zeidman turned in a four de force that added much to the present volume. To quote a heeler-somewhat high--giving a speech atop a chair at his election party, It was 11 lot of fun, and some of it was unfunf' We tried to leave the unfun part to the heelers, and suc- ceeded. Tom Dee even made a game of circulation, and it can never be said that men like John Little, Bob Kipka, Jack Sherman or Tony Mayer suffered the pall of a serious mien, while nevertheless pro- ducing prodigiously. Jim Haynes introduced the device of horizontal drinking contests to quell revolt at heelers' parties. Chairman Gray provided strong direction throughout the year, and reinforced the organiza- tion within and without. His seemingly invisible hand left salutary effects on every end of the BLIIIIIUV, from capital accumulation to heelers, parties. There were those who tried to throw revolutionist bombshells against the fabric of our established publications line, but Gray and Oshi- rak, smiling confedetatedly in front of the ledger, dispatched these folk according to the law of in- creasing misery. XVe continued a vital, expanding organization. XVe were dynamic and virile. We introduced a new Banner necktie whose four stripes we IIQIICZL' would lend added meaning and strength to our motto Esfo Pc'rj1z'fz1a. And while of a possibly more ephemeral nature, the new variety of Bun- ner niatchbooks were certain to spread our fame -with dignity-far and wide. XVe perhaps weren't denting the inhnite scheme of the cosmos, but we knew we had done well, which is, after all, what counts. Bark Row-Foster, Zeidman, Sherman, Allen, Mayer, Hunter, Gray.

With this as the environ- ment, Chairman Heard and his board found the necessity of following the growing interest which the campus took in world affairs, with a growth in both the scope and the physical capacities of Yale's radio station. With the advent of the Junior Prom, WYBC brought to New Haven its date for the Promen- ade. Heralded only by frequent and silent trips to New York by Karl Honeystein, WYBC prepared to escort Peggy Lee to the annual Payne Whitney festivities, an event which took on national pro- portions by receiving a coast-to-coast mention by Miss Lee herself on her CBS program. After a tour de force of the highspots of the city and the mule blast in Hendrie Hall, Miss Lee flanked by Heard and Honeystein made a memorable appearance during Prom intermission time, when she regaled sardined Yalemen with wonderful song. The spring, which usually went unnoticed, ex- cept for Bob Broussard's complaints about faster melting ice cubes, was this year heralded by a challenge flung to the OCD in the field of softball. After much debate the joust was set for Ham- monasset weekend, and when beer and rain has ceased drenching the athletes, Dick Gilder's men strode off the field with a still contested 2-1 vic- tory over the sad Old Lady of York Street. The spring however brought a more permanent and memorable effort into the light. When it was re- leased in the fall, Yale Sings represented a year's efforts on the part of Joe Tartaglino, Charlie Heard, Pete Dunckel, Jim Ritchey and Dave Ellis. Recorded by WYBC and pressed by Colum- bia, it was to be one of the most unique and successful anthologies of songs by Yale's singing groups. The 12-inch LP, which was to be sold at every woman,s college in the East with great The Brewery belies , One hundred ninety-one He sweeps the south success, was made up of the choice selections from tapes accumulated from the recordings WYBC made at concerts, jamborees, and in its studios. The problem of interior growth was laid in the hands of Technical Director Pete Dunckel and his men from down under. Pete produced immediate and startling results, which left some of the old- er alumni who returned to the fold with the im- pression that they had never entered the studios before. With an energy worthy of an October revolution the Tech department entered the Con- trol Room, and for a few hectic days some of the more conservative members wondered if things would ever be the same. And they weren't. Silently and very surely, Pete and his crew revamped the control room,s looks and its versatility. A new The man-on-the-street approach Om' hundred nirlety-iwo patch panel was installed which enabled an engineer, by one very simple operation, to put practically anything on the air. A Magnacord tape recorder was perma- nently installed which allowed NWYBC to :nake more extensive and wider use of tapes. Finally, to allow the engineer the unhampered use of both drinking hands, a remote control unit was created which through the mere press of a button set everything, including Jim Mac- donald's typewriter, in motion. Program Director Karl Honeystein, although somewhat vague about the op- portunities which a soldering iron offered, found its by-products .1 springboard for increasing the stature of programming. Through his efforts and those of Carl Loucks, RCA presented XWYBC with a series of classical music shows which soon rivaled Symphony Hall in popularity. The purchase of a portable tape re- corder found member and heeler alike tracking down a likely prospect for an interview. Prominent among these was Bob Crosby and his News Department. who brought to College News the Voices of everyone from planet of Commons to UN THE AI Peggy and Cbzzirmau Hearn' WilIl'fJ1'l1 amf friwidx The flIlII'V' workings O11 flu' uir Janet Stack of Maid in the Ozarks. The news coverage however did not confine itself to New Haven. As the eventful night of November 4th approached, XVYBC made provisions to give the na- tional elections the fullest and INOSI up to the minute coverage possible. Studio Q Three assumed a new face as large spotter boards covered its walls and the names of senators, govern- ors and representatives became bywords. Wliile Joe Tartaglino was left in charge of the operation at the home base, Honeystein, Mickey Roth, Pete Dunckel and Dick Gilder journeyed to New York and set up their headquarters in the Hotel Com- modore, the National Headquarters for the Re- publican Party. Through the portable tape machine and some brilliant timing, they were able to re- cord and subsequently relay back to New Haven the voices of Arthur Sommerfield, May Craig and Ike himself. XVhile this lucky quartet was im- bibing the bourbon freely dispensed by the winning party, Bob Crosby and Bill Troy took on the more For llaosfvrify s sake One bumlred ninrly-frmr , l grueling task of bringing to the listener a running commentary of the scores in every race, which at times outdistanced the network station reports by as much as ten minutes. Although not as heralded as the election broad- cast, the voice of the Sports Department made itself heard whenever Yale engaged in an athletic contest, and despite the engineer who found him- self in Boston minus mike cords, the undergraduate body was to receive a full and comprehensive coverage of Yale athletics. Football found Mickey Roth in Boston and Baltimore, while the winter saw him at the gym, or accompanied by Neil lflanagin, in the upper spheres of the Arena. Wheia Yale,s bid came to play in the NCAA tournament in Colorado Springs, WYBC stretched a long arm out into the West. Witlm the support of Charlie Morss' Business Depart- ment, the hockey teamls play and a few personal messages to Tim Thomas were brought to Yale men. Between trips to the gym, Joe Tartaglino was girding his loins with a Psych major and giving birth to a series of schemes designed to publicize the more unusual of WYBC's efforts. For this was the year of the Rheingold girls' appearance on the campus, as a result of which Frank 12,422 .. Tell' 42 iefr' Sinatra's recording of Nancy,' gained meteoric popularity on Sunday night Stardust, the year in which Charlie Heard smiled, if only briefly, at the appearance of Miss America. And while these events presented suitable excuses for recurrent blasts, Vice-Chairman Doug McKelvy let no plausible excuse pass by to tear himself from his role of weeping wall for the heeling hordes and promote our brew producing sponsor. Memorable was the party staged at Christmas, during which a tangible mark of cheer was left on the walls of Studio Three in the form of inscriptions of it The rz'r'm'4f of flu' year wide wit and variety, prime among which stood the immortal cry Let,s live a littlef, This has been a year of growth, both in the physical aspects and in the scope of achievement. New fields have been entered, new ventures under- taken, new enterprises endorsed. The 1953 board has been one which approached the daily problems with a new focus on WYBC's position in relation to its audience, and which has been able to provide, because of its desire for the new, a larger field for WYBC's potential as an organization in the service of the Yale community.

Van Dorcn Jr. AARON ROOS SCHARE JR., Pl.70f0gl'!IlIl7iL' Ezfifor Om' lmmfrm' rziurly-six Our board's foundation was harmony, its key- stone was excellence. From the Inseparable Three on down through the ranks a rare and warm spirit pervaded the Old Lady of York Street. Split by the Fall Campaign, intensely concerned with Seventy-Five, harried by the crises of a daily newspaper, the Old Lady had yet rarely seen such a happy blend. We mixed ability with humor, in- tensity with tolerance. To counter the daily Stev- enson blasts from the floor above, the Ike men on the board set up the General's posters Cinclud- ing a giant picturej in the business ofiice. We had two headquarters politically. We were divided jock and scholar, intellectual and social. But we cohered. How and why perhaps can be discovered in the men spotlighted in the following story. Looking ineongruously healthy in a job designed to induce a deep-seated anxiety, Business Manager Bill Donaldson breathed his high good spirits and firm assurance throughout the first floor office. The News prospered handsomely, as editorial men howled when ads filled at times a good 60 percent of the News. But all were mollified by the liberal improvements policy set by Bill, who plowed profits back into beer-stocked iceboxes and a fancy new photo lab-and a round of on-the-house News parties for newsies, faculty, and visiting dignitaries. Throughout it all the twin spirits of good humor and confident ability dominated the Donaldson regime downstairs. Gil Kinney as number two business mogul con- tinued in the tradition-a clean-sleeved, gentle- His words were quoted His was u profitable Seventy-Fifth man's approach to business, this time punctuated by a genial reserve and quiet charity. As chief ad-man for the News, his was the specific credit for her well filled inside pages. Norm Rosenblatt as Feature Manager planned and executed the many money-making special projects of the News, occupying himself mostly with the lucrative Seventy-Five. Dave Wilkinson plied up ever- higher totals as News Circulation Manager, while Al Flynn kept tabs on people as Personnel Man- ager. Together these made up the staff which enabled the upstairs men to print what they wrote from day to day. Jim Thomson moved with a self-contained ease through two realms a chairman inhibits-the world of news and Comment, and the interior world of the News. In quiet, sometimes unctuous, often eloquent sentences, not unlike those of his candidate-hero, the Governor, our York Street Qracle daily recommended his deep-searching answers to the day,s perplexities and turmoil. But not all his readers were pleased, for beneath the smooth and thoughtful sentences lay an errant liberalism which struck with intransigency the strong desire of most undergraduates to return to the GOP. Daily the battle ensued, between editorial and communications, until one morning there appeared a full page edit spread entitled, The Time, the Place, and the Mann -a frontal attack in force, a summa eonfra Eisenhower, and a declaration of the liberal faith. Stevenson supporters throughout the country seized it upg twenty thousand copies were printed for One laumlred ninety-se1'en vt. x , ' - -., I VQKTSYF ' . X ' - - cw X'-9' ff ' ' W-f.

L.. distribution in Connecticut, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, among other papers only slightly less important, reprinted it in full. The Governor him- self wrote in appreciation. The Eisenhower victory had not been unopposed. Nor was the crusading restricted to the national scene. With an edit beginning, With the blunders of a dean and the trepidation of four undergrad- uates, Thomson struck out at Whiteman and the PU for barring a speech by far-left-winger Howard Fast Qwhose position Jim disavowed, but whose right to speak he defendedj. . . . When the man with the unpopular view has been turned away from the university platform, then is the light of free inquiry extinguishedf, The opposition knuckled. Within the News the Chairman resided within a somewhat enigmatic, occasionally Buddha-like, reserve. It was not without effect that Jim had spent much of his younger life in China. For the most part, though, his role was a Confucian one, doing well the proper, fitting acts that held the News' diverse and hectic parts together. His humor, and wise comment reached here and there to smooth ruffled feathers and puncture swollen importances. Neither reserve nor action held forth inside the Managing Editor's office, where a harried, cough- hacked, chain-smoking John Koch carried on in the finest tradition of The Front Page. John brought a professional grasp to his job, as daily he would distill from the random, chaotic events a tight, accurate-and vitally interesting- news- paper. At times this over-worked man would growl, and heelers scurry away frightened, but come in time to gauge by this the lateness of deadlines the night before. By a policy of never making up the paper till most of the news had happened, and then staying around to check its reporting, our man- aging editor was able to pull coup upon coup-the running skirmish with an uppity UAC which had decided it could bar its meetings to- the press, the Howard Fast affair, the virtually minute-by-minute coverage of the Yale-for-Stevenson drive fThe Eisenhower people simply didn't bother to make news on the Yale scenej. An interest in social crusading on the front page betrayed an intellectual concern un- expected in the man some had considered a party boy. In the closest har- mony with John's poli- cies was Assistant ME Wally Hopkins, who occupied the desk a couple of nights a week or more. A sharp wit, a consistent flow of top quality reporting jobs, and Sally-these were Wally's additional contri- butions. Two of the busiest men on the News were Dick Valeriani and Doug DeForest. Sports Editor Valer- iani turned out ream after ream of colorful, un- strained sports prose. This was the year Yale had a football team. The News had not been sorry to see Herman go, and now was jubilant to see a spirited season. Between Dick and Doug, the Sports Department came through with an equally spirited coverage. It wrote at least a third of the average News. DeForest as assistant sports editor took turn about with Valeriani in making up this vital section of the paper, meanwhile writing in copious quantity. Helping Jim, as Vice-Chairman, was Harvey Loomis, who balanced the chairman,s pondering liberalism with a conservative bent politically and a light-hearted view toward the Yale scene.

Secretary Wesley Wray ran the heeling comps, his arduous task that of compiling, Counting, and checking points. Columnists included a zany S. Robertson Cather. His Miss Bella Thumbtwitch gave Tibetan belly dances before wildly enthusiastic audiences in the Trumbull Common Room. Gray MacArthur carried on his brother's tradition by mastering the Ogden Nash sort of comic verse, and described the Uploysu by which a virgin excels in her art. Peter Stansky hailed each new week with an urbane and sophisticated analysis of its calendared events. Among the ECO's-the men who once a week risked putting the News to bed at daybreak- were George Writson, a man of solid substance whose job Qwith Tony Escodaj was also to red- line each dayis issue. The redoubtable Tony, be- sides 'credliningu and frequent ECO-ing, special- ized in interviewing the visiting firemen. Pete Parker, Dick McDonough, Art King, Sam Keating, Chris Carter, and George Vick made up the full roster of Editors in Charge of Issues. Bill Cowles excelled in selling Sc'i'e11ly-lfive, while Pete Van Doren upheld the massive job of proofreading this volume. Wfare Adams completed our list. Though the people have been displayed, the Book has not. Sr'L'r'11fy-File was the biggest single thing done by the board-Yale's most famous alumni were procured to write, its theme was set: NVhence had the college man come in the last twenty-five years, where was he now, where would he go? Amazingly enough, the famous alumni wrote well, convincingly, produced no potpourri, but a timely, cogent answer to the Time indict- ment fusilent generation j which had evoked this theme. ln her seventy-fifth year, the Old Lady was far from silent. She was alive, integrated, suffused with well-being. Perhaps the reasons have not come out, will remain indefinable, content to be indicated only by the fact that we felt able to raise our ancient, boastful slogan, and straightfacedly call ourselves, The best fraternity on fraternity row.

Whipple It was the evening of the farewell party to the Old Board, and we were all in the office reminiscing while we waited for the Old Owl to arrive. The German band had stopped playing a few moments and were at the punch bowl, drinking pousse-cafes from pewter mugs, and chatting with Managing Editor. Looking out the window, one could see that the backyard of the Elizabethan Club needed mowing, and that most of the cars had left the Hendrie Hall parking lot, a melancholy wisp of smoke rose from the kitchen fan at the back of George and Harry's. I was talking with the mayor of Sioux Falls, whom we had invited for the occa- sion. It's not the heat, it's the humidity, the mayor commented, wiping his forehead with a silk hand- kerchief. I nodded, and excusing myself, walked over to the punch bowl. It was crowded, but the tuba player moved aside, and Advertising Manager care- fully ladled out a drink for me.

Well, we beat Smith and Briarcliff, anyway. Advertising Manager replied, putting another block of ice in the punch bowl, Still, field hockey isn't what it used to be. I walked over by the piano which someone was playing. Several members were singing something about dogs love most, an old lampost, but you're my cup of tea. I stepped over a heeler lying on the floor, and approached Publicity Manager, who was watching the singing too. Cigarette? I asked him. He took one. Where's Old Cwl?,' he asked.

Wunsch il' '2 .Q:.aB tw ill., VZ. .57 . . The 1952-53 season of the Yale Dramat was marked by a change in policy as to the type of shows produced and by the development of a new writing board, which successfully directed a one- act play prize competition and wrote a springtime musical concerned with Yale. Departing from the past practice of presenting warmed-over Broadway musicals and comedies, the Dramat produced three shows designed to provide both fine entertainment for the audiences and good training in all facets of theater for the members and actors. The first show done under the new board in May was Walter Kerr's adaptation of Aristophanes' The Birds, which was presented as a joint effort with the Yale Glee Club for Yale's two-hundred Yale Dramatic Association and fiftieth anniversary. Broadway songstress Bibi Osterwald lent her inimitable talent and indomita- ble spirit to the entire crew when she immortalized the part of Iris in the spring presentation. The glowing review and extensive publicity campaign for the May performance attracted Lift' and an independent television producer to cover the Com- mencement weekend renewal when Fenno Heath's original music was recorded for posterity. The tre- mendous success of The Binfs was a great boon to the excellent subscription campaign run early last autumn by the business department. Princeton weekend was greatly enlivened by a challenge to all its QDramat,sj future endeavorsf' Luigi Pirandello's Six Cbararfers in Scarrb of A11 Final scene The Binlsy' Treo l11nziI'rezf trereiz The lawyer CBN!

Although the production department de- scribed it as the most difficult no set,' show it had ever seen, the reviewers showered ecstatic praise on everyone. just before Christmas vacation, the first accom- plishments of the writing board were oHered for criticism with the Freshman Dramat's presentation of three undergraduate-written one-act plays. Se- lected for production from sixteen entries were The Great Arlrelzfzzre, The Iueurables and The Dirty OM Beard, which were written by Walter Varenka, Robert Hock and Saul Braun, respective- ly, and directed by Dramat members. Dramat President Michael Mackay described the circuitous, trans-oceanic route by means of which the petition for rights to present the American premiere of Jean Anouilhis Colomhe was granted. After overcoming the difficulties of overseas tele- phone conversations, as in merfias res change of male leads and Ll two-day on-stage rehearsal period, Colomhe delighted both Freshman and Junior Prom weekend audiences. The first yearis work of the writing department came to a successful conclusion with the May and Commencement performances of The Yale Ani- mal, the first undergraduate-written musical since 1951 and since the dissolution of all non-Dramat musical societies which had stirred up strong con- troversy in the preceding year.

Yale Scientific Magazine Under the sparkling leadership of its chairman, Hugo Beit, the Yale Scientific Magazine has ma- tured into one of the finest of undergraduate pub- lications. Assisted by his very able and fiery managing editor, John Robinson, the' Scientific Magazine got off to a great start last October with an issue celebrating the centennial of Yale Engi- neering. Following this with issues which became bigger and even better than before Cat least they thought soj, Robinson insured his future reputa- tion as one of their better managing editors. The business manager, Barry Crown, was kept very busy during the year keeping track of their ac- counts, though at times they wondered about those party bills. Rounding off the big fourv was vice- chairman Werner Klee, who played havoc with their public relations in an effort to keep the magazine in the public eye. As Yale's represent- ative to the Eastern Colleges Science Conference at New York State Teachers College in Albany, Two bumfrefi ten Wferner was faced with the chore of keeping up their relations with the fair sex. Stan Katz was in charge of keeping up our world-wide and Yale Station circulation. In the Senior editor positions were Jim Feibel, in charge of extracting blood money from advertisers, Bob Upton as the cog of the articles department, Harold Douglass as the hound of the Yale scene in charge of features, Ken Philip in charge of produc- tion, and Jim Russel as their ever reliable special editorial editor. Rounding out the rogues gallery which may be found on the title page of every issue were Bill Byrant, John Dunlop, Mead Fer- guson, Julian Fleischman, Bob Hoffman, Earl Mac- Cormac, Duane Malm, Peter Phelps, Art Sekerak, Malcolm Shalet, Ed Socolow, and Bill Swanstrom. Clarence Salzer helped out admirably whenever they needed anything done of an artistic nature. Thus it was that the Scienfific Magazine enjoyed one of its most successful years in recent history.

Shea Richard Sassoon Yale Literary Magazine The 116th year of the Lit's career marked many changes back to traditional practices, a direction not altogether out of keeping with some contem- porary trends. Soon after taking over as the new Chairman, John Hunter was somewhat chagrined to discover that the old lady had neglected the debit sheet to the tune of many dollars. So, the board decided that they had better settle down to the ugly business of making money. The magazine returned to a ten by seven rough paper format. Business talent was culled from the outside. The few teeth in the heeling system were sharpened and the board began to expand. Even the alumni responded with board members from as far back as the turn of the century offering what help they Could. In addition to six regular issues a year, a series of special issues were outlined which would fea- ture such items as freshman writing, poetry and anthologies of past Lit writing. The regular issues attempted to represent the current trends in under- graduate writing in Hction, verse and critical es- says. Interviews with personalities of the literary world were included and the End Papersv section was revived. Undergraduate drama and music were reviewed as well as numerous books and records. In the fall the Lit ran a symposium with con- tributions from both undergraduates and members of the faculty. The subject was Is The Yale Environment Conducive To The Creative Mind?', The answers covered all aspects of the question with varying degrees of intensity and created more than passive interest on campus. In creative writing the general quality of the fiction seemed to be consistently better than that of the poetry. Paul Brodkorbt won the Francis Bergen prize for his story The Spec ls The Opening Procession. Russell Thomas submitted the best work, publishing five poems in the first three is- sues. Jan Tumlir, a Czech student, translated two of his own poems that he had published abroad in a volume of first poetry. As poetry editor, J. J. Wilhelm published some fine original verse and some translations of Baudelaire. The chores of rebuilding the business board fell upon Ed Stone, Nat Spear and Barry Good. Stone juggled the books and seduced local advertisers while Spear worked minor miracles with New York advertising accounts. The circulation department took on new shape under Good's guidance. As the work increased, the board expanded with new talent. Dick Gilder and Jack Levin were enlisted. Ed Shufro was borrowed from the editorial board to help with organization. Soon affairs took on a brighter complexion and the board found them- selves approaching solvency. Thus the Lit finished another year as America's oldest monthly magazine in sound condition and with high hopes for the future, continuing to publish the best in undergraduate writing.

Yale Political Union Tn u XIIIIIZIITII flL'l'll'l' Weinberg, Cowell, Nlarxhman. A presidential candidate, America's most well-known news- paper publisher, and the only United States Senator who still wears a frocli coat were three of the controversial personalities that the Political Union brought to the campus this year. And, as always, these three, as well as all the other guest speakers, shared in the give-and-take which has characterized the debates in Yale,s largest undergraduate organization since its inception. The driving force behind the Unionls activities in the fall term was its exceptionally capable president, Robert I.. Wfein- berg ,53. Under his leadership the Union heard about and debated the issues of a national election and its immediate aftermath. Finding it impossible to get candidates Eisenhower or Stevenson to take time off from their campaigns, the Union was able to play host to the Socialist Party candidate, Darling- ton Hoopes, who, in a four-sided debate, presented his often under-publicized case for the presidency. Earlier in the term the Union had heard a debate on the relative merits of the two major parties between a former Union president, L. Brent Bozell '50 and Allard K. Lowenstein ,5S, national chairman of Students for Stevenson. But there were other issues beside the election which held the attention of politically-aware Yale. Colonel Robert R. McCormick came back to his alma mater to discuss the need for a realignment of parties before a packed hall in Linsly-Chitten- den. Senator Clyde R. Hoey QD., N. CJ came to defend the filibuster and, to the astonishment of many northern liberals, did an extraordinarily good jobg the Senator won many friends at Yale. The eternal question of academic freedom was fought over for the hundreth time as two chairmen of the Yale Daily News argued about its value. The annual meeting with Vassar proved to be amusing, if not always successful. Mrs. India Ed- wards, Vice-Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, provided a brief for more extensive participation by women in politics. A four year old habit Qwhich will one day be a traditionj is the selection of a P.U. Man of the Year. Previous winners have been Ralph Bunche, Warren Austin, and Dean Acheson. This year's winner was U.N. Secretary-General Trygve Lie, who edged Adlai Stevenson by three votes. The term came to a climax of a sort when the Political Union elections took place. The battle for the presidency, which attracted more attention from the Daily News than from the Union mem- bership, resulted in a nine vote victory for Henry S. Scherer, Jr. ,53. The outgoing president, Mr. Weinberg, received accolades from all corners for his remarkable job. The senior senator from West Virginia was on hand for the spring term organizational meeting. Harley M. Kilgore told the Union that Tidelands Oil belongs rightfully to all the people and not to certain states. An old friend of the Political Union was the next guest speaker. Professor Fow- ler Harper spoke for the repeal of the McCarran- Wfalter Immigration Act of 1952 and carried the day by a smashing majority. A few words might be said about the Union as it has developed over the four years just past: It is less a place for a few orators to hold forth in bi-weekly taffy-pullsg the old heroes and their admirers are gone. The new Union is an organi- zation more widely participated in by its members 1367: Fall, 1952j and far more beneficial to them. The party strength has moved from left to right, and now signs are appearing that a swing back towards the middle is impending. One never can tell about such things in the Union--the only thing one can be sure of is its unflagging desire to bring men and ideas of all Varieties to the Yale campus-on the theory that only through knowl- edge of different ideas can one most ideally deter- mine his own. Tu'o hundred lbirlrvn l The Church of Christ in Yale Undergraduate Deacons The service of Protestant Christian worship and spiritual guidance is offered and maintained by the Church of Christ in Yale University. The University Church is Congregational in its policy while non-denominational in its membership, offering a Student Membership which does not impair prior connections with a home church. The Rev. Sidney Lovett, Chaplain of the Uni- versity, and the Rev. Burton A. MacLean, Asso- ciate Chaplain, are the ministers who direct and lead the Church and its activities. Mr. Lovett and Mr. MacLean are assisted in this task by a board of Faculty Deacons and a board of Under- graduate Deacons. The Undergraduate Deacons are elected in the spring of their junior year, and serve the Univer- sity for their entire senior year. The Student Deacons are primarily concerned with the Church and its relationship to the students, and the most recognized of their duties is to officiate as ushers on Sunday morning throughout the school year. The Deacons also assist in the leading of the daily Noonday Service at Dwight Hall Chapel and during the Christian Mission each year assist the Mission Committee. With Dwight Hall carrying on the work element the Deacons represent the worship element of the Christian life. University Choir During term time, fifty-six men of the under- graduate and graduate schools joined together in Battell Chapel to form the University Choir. Un- der the direction of Professor Luther Noss, Uni- versity Organist, they presented two anthems each Sunday, besides lending hearty support to the congregational singing of hymns. Since rehearsal time was limited to an hour and fifteen minutes a week, the choir was necessarily restricted to sing- ers with musical training and ability. The repertoire represented a survey of choral singing throughout the signiicant periods of musi- cal history. Late Gothic compositions were partic- ularly well adapted to men's voices, but modern Two hundred fourieen settings of Yale's famous collection of Early Amer- ican hymns were a specialty of the choir. As it has done for a number of years, the choir presented a special service of music in Battell Chapel in May, consisting of six anthems in place of the regular two. Following a tradition started last year, the Uni- versity Choir presented a service of music at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York in Novem- ber. This outstanding service was attended by our many Yale alumni in the New York area. A smaller group from the choir sang at the daily services in Dwight Memorial Chapel under the direction of Professor H. Frank Bozyan.

Yale is a place of learning and growth. It is yet a University instilled with the belief and dedicated to the task of teaching its students something of the rich cultural heritage that lies beneath the brittle surface of this present age of professional- ism. Yale and her elms still preserve the spirit of the ancient Lyceum though at times for matters of expediency, through carelessness, or because of misguided intention the reaches of professionalism enmesh with our undergraduate lives. Dwight Hall as the Yale University Young Men's Christian Association was guided by a philos- ophy concurrent with that of the University. It did not pretend to be a professional social agency nor did it assume the position of being an official church. Rather it was an organization that offered the opportunity for men to learn and to grow through a challenging introspection of their own Christian faith and the expression of that faith in service. President Ted Campbell did much to initiate the creative programs of the year, ably assisted by Doug NVilliams, as Chairman of the Campus Council, and Henry Keating, Chairman of the Community Council. These groups, made up of men with many diverse interests and back- grounds, with various degrees of Christian faith and commitment, necessarily were rather loose in organizational unity. Nevertheless it was this vast wealth of individual and personal witness to the Christian faith which dened definition that was the intrinsic strength of Dwight Hall. lt was this membership with its strength and ability that fostered the fall lecture series that were so successful, 'iWhat ls W'orth Saving in W'estern Civilizationf' It was this membership with its willingness to learn while doing, that conceived and carried out the printing of the new house organ, Criterion, These men, who with the Church of Christ at Yale organized and were re- sponsible for the functioning of the University Christian Mission, found a grozclli in their own Christian faith through the words of Dr. lilton Trueblocd. Over the year these men who worked quietly and consistently in the Boys' Clubs and the Hope Mission came to know the meaning of serv- ice. Dwight Hall aimed to lead a man forward rather than push him through a mechanical heel- ing process, and, through it all, the factors of growth and learning maintained the primary con- sideration.

The Hillel Foundation A combination of majority rule and laissez-faire characterized the mode in which the Yale Hillel Foundation was conducted. That is, while general policy decisions were determined by majority vote, there was a maximum allowance for individual expression. Hence the diversity of activities that flourishes in Hillel. On the religious side, an innovating experiment was undertaken by Religious Co-chairmen Chuck Kroloff and Joel Joseph who believed that the Sabbath Service in the largest part could be effectively conducted by students. This refreshing trend of departure from custom extended beyond the Service into the Oneg Shabat Qa period of fellowship following the Servicej. A social highlight was the fall dance for which there was an unprecedented turnout of nearly three hundred people. Social Chairman Art Moss and his staff deserved most of the laurels for engineering this milestone in Hillel's career. The educational aspect of Hillel was in part rep- Tzzfo hundred eighteen resented by the Forum. Thanks to Myron Cono- vitz, presidential successor to Don Sheff, a selection of interesting speakers appeared before the forums in Dwight Hall. Among the fall lecturers were Professors Weiss and Goodenough, and eagerly awaited was the appearance of the controversial Will Herberg. After a period of lapse the Ra1n's Horn, Hillel's ofhcial publication, was revived with vigorous new blood in the persons of Arthur Tobias and Leonard Levy, who started from scratch and built up a going concern. Rounding out the Hillel educa- tional program were Rabbi Gumbiner's classes in Hebrew and his seminar on the great books of Judaism. Yale Hillel and similar organizations in colleges all over America owe their existence to the Na- tional B,nai B'rith Society and Rabbi Gumbiner has, as Jewish Chaplain and Adviser and as Direc- tor of Hillel, made important contributions to jewish life at Yale.

O'Brien, 1931, as chaplain, served as the center of Catholic activity for undergraduates at Yale. Special attention was given to the religious devel- opment of Catholic students. Confessions were heard and Mass was celebrated daily at the Saint Thomas More Chapel on Park Street. The third Mass on Sundays was sung by the student choir in polyphonic music and Gregorian chant. To help students make the necessary adjustment of religion to their secular knowledge, the Club held weekly discussion groups in the individual colleges and periodically had guest speakers lecture in the Chapel auditorium. To supplement this, a splendid library was available to the students at More House. Each year a retreat is held under the direction of outstanding preachers to recall to student minds the richness of their religious life and to revive their religious zeal and fervor. Social gatherings were held throughout the year, providing opportu- nity for broadening college friendships. Instruc- tions in Church liturgy were given in special classes and sermons to enrich the religious growth of the student. Conference with the individual students was a major part of the work at More House. In a word, the work of the More Club was to integrate faith with secular knowledge to produce the Chris- tian gentleman. Two hundred nineteen Burk row-Head, Lang, Meacham, Ellis, Aull, Bell.

Formerly known as the Budget Drive, it might be called Yale's version of a com- munity chest. It was started in 1922 as a modest effort to coordinate several local charity appeals. From 1922 to 1952, it has grown to a position where it is now generally recognized as one of the largest and most respected charity appeals among colleges and universities throughout the United States. The Yale Charities Drive is organized and administrated entirely by undergraduates. The 1952 Drive was successful in every respect. The goal was set at S37,000, and the final total exceeded the goal by more than S2,500. 355,000 of the total sum raised was the product of the Yale Divinity School Drive. The money was al- lotted to eleven beneficiaries grouped under five headings: International Student Welfare, Negro Education, Foreign Students at Yale, Community Wfelfare, and Religious Organizations. The theme of this year's appeal was 'KWith Op- portunity Goes Responsibilityf, Most of the pub- licity was keyed to this theme. The Drive com- Two hundred twenty menced under the favorable auspices of Charles Spofford, former Chairman of the North Atlantic Council of Deputies. Mr. Spofford was the chief speaker at the annual Banquet. The administrative machinery of the Drive con- sisted of an executive committee of twelve, ten college captains, and ten freshman captains. In addition there were more than 300 solicitors who combed the campus from Timothy Dwight to Pier- son College with an enthusiasm and energy which spoke well of their community spirit. The 1953 Committee made three major con- tributions to the Charities Drive organization. The first was the creation of two new positions, those of Captain Coordinator and Oiiice Manager, to in- crease the efficiency of the administration. The sec- ond contribution was adoption of by-laws to govern the election process. The third was the procurement of a professional auditor. But above all, the 1952 Charities was a success, and its success answered eloquently those who might doubt the sense of obligation and Commu- nity spirit of Yale in 1952-53.

The credit for this success- ful record goes to the able coaching of Professor Rollin G. Osterweis, Director of Debating and Public Speaking at Yale. In directing the debating program, Mr. Osterweis has achieved a two-fold objective: first, to afford widespread opportunity for debating participation throughout the Univer- sity, as shown by the large number of men engaged in varsity, freshman and intercollege debating, second, to insure the able representation of Yale against its forensic opponents, as revealed by the team's impressive record of victories. The officers of the Debating Association for 1952-53 were: Ed Meese, president, Robert Cowell, vice-president, Robert Tullis, member-at-large, Herman Kohl- meyer, secretary, and Bryce Schnell, manager. The varsity debate squad of twenty-nine men twice defeated Harvard, Brown and Columbia, while losing once to Amherst, Wesleyan and to a British Universities combined team. In the Boston Invitational Tournament the team scored four wins and two losses. The single tie in the team record, perhaps the first in Yale debating history, came in the humorous debate against Princeton. One judge voted for Yale, a second for Princeton. The third judge, noting that the topic concerned the role of good women,', cast one-half vote for Smith and one-half vote for Vassar, causing a deadlock. Once again women succeeded in upsetting the destinies of men. The freshman debate squad was coached by As- sistant Director Stuart Law. During the year the Association was saddened by the death of its Director Emeritus, Professor John Chester Adams. The important place of de- bating and public speaking at Yale today will stand as a tribute to Professor Adams' long and distinguished service to the University in the organization and development of forensic activity.

Yale Glee Club Since its inception over a century ago the Yale Glee Club has been directed by only four men. The year 1953 was an important one for the club historically because it marked the end of a thirty- two year period during which Yale men have been enjoying the true fellowship of song under the leadership of Marshall Bartholomew, known to thousands for the past three decades as Barty,'. Under his direction, the Yale Glee Club has grown to international fame. This year was a memorable one, for yet another reason, as it marked the be- ginning of a career for the fifth director in the club's history, Fenno Heath, former Associate Di- rector of the Club and for five years director of the Apollo Club. The singing season started early for the sixty- six carefully culled members of the club as they performed at the exercises marking the one hun- Tu u lmmlrwl luwzlj'-four dredth anniversary of the Engineering School. Subsequent concerts in Stamford, Port Chester, Plainneld, and Hartford combined with the tradi- tional Harvard and Princeton joint concerts rounded out their fall season. The Hartford con- cert was notable because it raised a record breaking 515,000 for Yale scholarships. A Christmas trip which included New York, Erie, Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee climaxed the Hrst half of the year. Early in the second term the Club sang to its largest audience, as the featured attraction of the Telephone Hour. Concerts in Milford, Scarsdale, and Queens preceded the ever-popular Junior Prem Concert. In March the Club joined forces with the Connecticut College Choir, the University Orchestra and professional soloists to perform Ho- negger's sacred oratorio King David.

As a fitting tribute to the retiring and succeeding directors, Barty Apollo Robert Braxvley has in this year, his second as director of the Apollo Glee Club, very successfully maintained the Club's traditional high standards of spirit and song. ln addition to performances in XVallingford, Orange, Norwalk and South Salem, New York, the sixty-eight chosen men of the Apollo earned a good name for themselves by singing informal concerts at several residential Fresh man An exceptionally large turn-out of candidates for the Freshman Glee Club greeted Arthur Frantz last fall.

Combining social and vocal pleasures in a delightful blend, the Club also held joint per- formances with thc glee clubs of Briarcliff and Bradford Junior Colleges and with Miss Porter's School. During the spring term the Club sang at the Jamboree and ambitiously extended its field of activities, providing the choral music for the Dra- matis production of K'The Yale Animalu, Glee Club Alumni Day Exercises and their own sell-out Fresh- man Prom Concert. Trips to The Dwight School, Smith, Rosemary Hall, Chapin and XVestover pro- vided a pleasant background for the Freshman singer's spring activities, which concluded with the annual Jamboree Concert.

The Yale University Band In line with its tradition of doing bigger and better things every year, the Yale Band added a new member to its staff this year with the ap- pointment of Robert Cecil as assistant conductor. Both he and Keith Wilson, the bandls conductor, then launched the organization on one of its most successful seasons. The football season started earlier than usual this year with a game the week before school started, but a contingent of the band was present nonetheless to provide music for the Connecticut game. At the Brown game the season was started at full strength, and such highlights as the St, Louis Blues March and a Yale Medleyf' written for the Yale Band by Mel Powell, filled the football season. The band also turned actor for the tele- vised Cornell game and put on an exhibition of precision marching. The prospect of an election year couldn't escape, so the conflict between IKE and AD was finally solved by the election of POGO, the people's choice. Nor could they over- look the Harvard trip, which was the climax of an improved season, both band and football-wise. At the close of the football season the concert band took over Hendrie Hall and began rehearsing for the annual Woolsey Hall Concert. The fea- tured work for that concert was Hindemith's Symphony for Bandf, the first time that work had been performed in New Haven. At the end of the concert it could be said that the perform- ance Was one of the band's best. With the coming of the spring season the band once again took to the outdoors for its twilight concerts on the Cross Campus. They had three of these concerts this year, and negotiations were in progress for a twilight concert at Vassar to be followed by a dance. This had received enthusiastic support from both sides. Both Keith Wilson and Robert Cecil have worked hard to make this year a successful one and were ably assisted in their work by the efforts of the band oH'icers: Arthur Kelly, Presidentg Her- bert Ellingwood, Business Manager, and John Parker, Publicity Manager. The band will end its season by playing at the Commencement exer- cises of the University.

This unity was first apparent during their pre-season warm-up at He's Keresey's bungalow on Long Island and was evident through an autumn of football week- ends and dances, a winter of engagements in the Midwest, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, New England and Bermuda, and a spring of pen- sive thoughts and numerous going-away parties, twelve testimonial banquets and one wake. Patient and understanding have been Popo and Q'Pitchpipe g theirs was a labor of love. A word must be said about the Whiifenpoofs' two patron Saints, Saint Harry and Saint Gilbert An senior, without whose enthusiasm and air- plane the year might never have attained fruition. Fortunately, unlike most of their predecessors, . , s.E51f,'i,l X ' , 4 'El-b theirs has been a studious group. They seriously applied themselves to getting the full measure of satisfaction that only close harmony and Whiffen- poof friendship can give. The time element, how- ever, called upon many of them to make great sacrifices such as Phi Beta Kappa . . . well perhaps the Deanis List. The year has seen a few tragedies fnothing per- sonal Sou',j but they have managed to survive, though Excre still stormed out of the room when the Croquet tournament was mentioned. Did anyone see a gray felt hat somewhere between Grosse Pointe and the Chicago station?

He was only a Crazy Goony Guy but Vodsak, he knew how to party and he was big .... Amen, Two lazmdrezf lwefzlyfrzine For twelve years the gods have witnessed their mystical fraternity's strivings toward achieving the consummate blending of Orphic and Bacchic endeavor here in their secular surroundings. Once again the dichotomy was not fully resolved, but no one of the O and B's is complaining. The year's prime task was assimilation of ten new members and weaning them from the bottle to the pitchpipe. Remarkably enough, the Conver- sion was accomplished relatively smoothly. They had their domesticated tenor, their leads with predilection for atonality, their full share of spices homo jockiensisv and their forgetful basses. And as usual, they had the supplest diaphragms and biggest larynxes at Yale. Their activities were bounded by the W'aldorf The Society of rpheus and Bacchus Starlight Roof and Jane Pickens on the south, Bennett Junior College on the west, Alumnae Hall, Wellesley, Mass. on the north, and Long Island Sound on the east. Debutantes, undergradu- ates, alumni, and patient bartenders throughout this region were most tolerant of their efforts. They were forced to decline innumerable requests to sing the Vfhiffenpoof Song, but they did add the Norwegian National Anthem as their counter- part to Aj Lucka Lucka. With the emergence of a new arranger on the scene, John Ingersoll, Orpheus, Bacchus, and Prometheus agree with the other Olympian deities that the future is indeed bright: more ambrosial cups will be emptied and more decibels should 611 the ether than ever before. limb mufliohertsliaw, Doran, Meilagg, Brown A., Ingersoll, Stein, Barilwlmnew.

Two lmndreil Ilrirly The Spizzvvinks Their fortieth anniversary found the Spizz- winks Q?j perpetuating in their own inimitable style the traditional and, of course, modern har- monies for which they have been especially noted. Fortunately for Hank and jim, last year's left- overs, John Evans, John Clark, Charlie Neave, Bruce Meacham and Jim MacNider were on hand come fall to get things under way with a bang at Vassar's junior party. Subsequent highlights of the season, which led the group to travel well over 2000 miles, were the Best in the East concert at Amherst and the Connecticut College Songfest in mid-winter. Appearances with the Night Owls and the Smithenpoofs gave the 'Winks OJ the opportunity to revive a few dormant joint num- bers, and I Get a Kick Out of Youn and All the Things You Are made their first appearance in several years. Also on top were the rhythm pair Crazy and Faseinatin, S'Wonderful, Ben- ny's From Heaven and, of course, Persian Kit- tenf' X T-5C,.

Things looked dim for the Dozen as the year started. Heavy inroads had been made on the mem- bership by graduation and by the XVhiffenpoofs, but these places were quickly filled by 11 mass of onrushing sophomores and some wizened seniors. Dave Ellis, the new doughnut, found he had such able men as Bill Porter to work out new arrange- ments and men like Ash Gulliver, Geoff Kimball, Harry Stewart, Jim Monde, and Bob Bullard to sing them. Things began to take shape quickly as the warped humor of Jim Hannah was applied to some of the songs, and by late October the group was ready for its first public appearance at the J.E. Jamboree. After this the schedule settled down to the usual round of fraternity and college engagements. The Baker's Dozen Tivo fmndrml fbirlj -lu 0 By January the group was getting Ll'CLl to sing- ing together and it began to tackle the many new numbers that were being turned out by various musicians. Such gems as Gr! Ollf of Herr' and Les Trois Clorlnex appeared in the groupis repertoire along with the old favorites Li11Jbei'gb and Riza- sian Ro11lc'ff1'. On the whole the arrangements became more varied as the ability of the new members blossomed into full bloom. lt was a year that brought a variation of per- formances. Wontlerful trips to Bridgeport and Wlieaton were balanced by such terror-producing fiascoes as the Pops Concert in Branford where they were expected to produce a two hour concert with forty minutes of music. The Dozen sang every song ever written that night. As spring approached the prospects brightened with hopes for the Sweet Briar Prom, a television performance in New York, and a possible jaunt to Florida during the vacation. The year has been successful in that it strengthened the Dozen for the years ahead. The crisis of losing the last of the founders was gone, the patient recovered, and should be in excellent health for many years to come. liarfz mu'-Rose, Barrett, Prentice, Vfheeler, Morgan. lfrorzf rou'4Milroy, Thorne, Williams, Peay, Thomas. With all nine lettermen returning for .mother season of mirth and song, the Augmented Seven decided to augment still further, Ending untold depth in Jim Mondeis voice. From there the group started giving forth with the old stand-bys along with the new numbers as fast as those ar- rangers of tortured harmony Ceuphemistically labeled modernj, Don Willigims and Oak Thorne, could turn them off the press. Continuing the fad set last year, Dick Barrett and Tim Prentice tuned up their guitars to the background of Out De Fire and Man's Smart, Woman's Smarter. Otherwise, the repertoire of the Seven consisted of every style from Adios', and I Wanna Get Marriedv to Moaniri' Lord. After WYBC put out the record l'Yale Singsf' the Augmented Seven decided to make a recording alone with 24 selections. This record was consid- ered in some quarters to be the crowning achieve- ment of the group which nominated Kinsey for Presidentf' Singing the usual rounds of colleges and fra- ternities on the football weekends, the group man- aged to do much singing and still hold on to their weary dates. The annual sojourn to sing with the University Glee Club of New York came off in fine style with a copious supply of wine, mixed with L1 few women and even fewer songs. The new year started out with a performance for the New Haven Chamber of Commerce, water-logged ren- ditions at the Annual Water Carnival, and the entertaining at President Griswold's Ball. The group finished out the year with visits to Briar- cliff and Sarah Lawrence, for a peek at the distaff side. Good luck is in order for next year's group, chosen to continue the sometimes hectic, but al- ways interesting and full of fun, life and times of the Augmented Seven. Entrusted to them is a fine heritage of social gathering for the purpose of drink, good fellowship, and an occasional song. The Augmented Seven Tivo hundred thirty-three The Alley Cats Verily, music is the most innocent of pleasures, especially when combined with a little judicious debauchery. The Alley Cats proclaim themselves Apollo's votaries. Although lineage, it must be admitted, is very important to a singing group, they have no more than any alley cat, except traces of a few nebulous strays who have left their tracks across the pages of Yale history at various times, renowned, however, for their independent vigor and general accomplished drink-singmanship. Independence, indeed, has remained the motto of the Alley Cats, manifest in the many extraordi- nary incidents which have ever livened the atmos- phere of their rehearsals and concerts. In a world which seems bound to hold in contempt the conventions of the past, whatever their merits, they stand convinced of the greatness and timeless- ness of barber shop harmony. They admit the de- sirability of some change, but they insist that any change be effected so that, in the words of the great Edmund Burke, nothing is entirely new, nothing entirely obsolete. They have raised their voices in song in front of people, behind people, in spite of people, and in the absence of people. There have been parties, unforgettable for one reason or another, and there will be many more, but what is perhaps best, they have known a sin- cere fellowship, which is, in their opinion, the greatest satisfaction attainable. They have drunk freely of the heavenly and not so heavenly liquors of life, and they have sung, and sung, and sung.

Two humlred lbirty-four i The Mad Hatters, a solid group of respectable citizens devoted to bringing fine harmony to the Yale campus, started their sixth year with every effort to live up to the motto Carry On or We can do a bell of u lot better than last yc'ur's group if we work at it. The Hatters, long noted for their crowd stirring exhibitions, hit their high spot last spring when their inspired chords, Hltering into one of the better bars in Vassartown, gave cause to mayhem on the few dissenting critics, eventually resulting in expulsion of said critics, a vindication marred only by the fact that the singing group was simi- larly treated. Early in the season, the mad ones sang before a wildly enthusiastic party at the Waverly Inn. After he had stopped applauding, the group gracefully bowed out, continuing their excellent form of the evening at a local spaghetti establishment. Throughout the fall the Mad Hatters diligently practiced once or twice a month resulting in stampeding demands for their services at the football fraternity dances, Trumbull, Branford, The Mad Hatters and other high class social institutions on and about the campus. At the same time, via a natural process of osmosis, contacts were opened up in stimulating quarters, so that, with the spring, Skidmore, Smith, Vassar, and other fortunates clamored to hear the octet and a half. The Hat- ters vigorously prosecuted a commercial group for infringing on their copyrighted trade name and successfully closed the season with a cocktail muddler from Rahar's, a small bill from Mory's, and several unanswered letters in the treasury. Next year's group will try to Carry On. Bark row-Hille, O'Gorman, L, Miller, Hendrick, Hudson, Stcggall. Frou! mu'--O. Miller, Patton, Anderson, Benson, Nelson, Specht. Two lwlzrzdwal lbirfy-j iL'e As was the case with most of their Eli con- temporaries, the jEsters first saw the light of day as a small group dedicated to the proposition that all chords are created singable and that all harmony is endowed with a certain inalienable beauty. Unlike its contemporaries, however, this embryo of twelve, which graduated talent into the ranks of such organizations as the Spizzwinks UQ and the Wlaiffenpoofs, spent its informal adolescence in relative seclusion, restricting its activities to Jonathan Edwards weekends and beer- inspired nights of moon-worship. ln this, the JEsters' third year of being, they set out to officially face the world, twelve-strong and armed with a group character fully justifying their baptismal name. They augmented the seven- eighths of their last year's nucleus with five initiates and appointed Brooks Thomas as capable and neces- sary whip-wielder. Under the pitch-pipemanship of Bob Lee, whose inveterate musical genius and constant enthusiasm provided them with a for- midable supply of arrangements, they developed a repertoire and a chronic aversion for 10:00 P.M. rehearsals. Their official debut was made at the fall IE. Jamboree. Several local engagements and fall trips to The IEsters Vassar and Smith succeeded in developing their reputation as well as a Hendrick flair for casual- ness, as attested to by a dinner at Smith during which he obliviously and liberally spiced Brown- ell's datels salad with cigarette ashes. Backed by the necessary experience and self- confidence, they went into high-gear in the second term. Despite constant war with conflicting schedules and the traditional spring flu, they were able to reschedule Smith and Vassar and to under- take a more extensive local itinerary, winding up the season in a bacehanalian blaze of glory at the Kirkbride home. In retrospect the year was a success. and with the probable return of all but one or two of their number, next year should reali7e the potentials and goals established by the '53 pioneers.

This was, perhaps, the most eventful year which Yale Aviation has experienced since its pOSt-War reorganization. With the Piper J-3 having to be replaced after heavy summer use, an Aeronca was bought for members wishing to practice for their private ratings. Another J-3 was also purchased and sent away to be completely rebuilt. In the annual elections, Al Dempsey was re- tained as president, while Bill Day became vice- president, Dave Acton, treasurer, and Dave In- galls, secretary. The year's activity included a ground school for prospective commercial pilots in the fall, the filming of club flying in technicolorg an intensified membership drive, and last but not least, a flight to Florida during spring vacation by ex-treasurer George McKinney. Also, there were members un- dergoing usual flight training for their tickets. In order to help the right instructing schedule at the Municipal airport, both Al Dempsey and George McKinney qualified for instructors' rat- ings, giving instruction to club fledglings. At the end of the active season, testifying to its success, the engine in the Cessna had to be replaced. Two bu mired tbirly- nine The Cougars Once again in this its 100th season, the Yale Cougars kept their record unblemished and con- tinued their unbeaten string to 200 games. Un- daunted by such foes as the Colby Varsity and the Yale Yaks, the Cougars rolled up victory after victory to complete one of their most successful seasons. Without the services of such stalwarts as Pineeone Connolly, Turku Smith, Peavee Scully, and Kid Zero Hudson who were farmed out to the varsity for further seasoning, the Cou- gars amassed a record seldom seen in hockey cir- cles. Early in March, many rumors were circulat- ing that the Cougars were a shoe in for the NCAA bid. This is easy to understand after the superla- tive performances seen throughout their campaign, but Cougar spokesmen, in their usual modesty, re- frained from commenting on this information. Perhaps the greatest highlight of the season was the Cougars' tremendous sojourn to the Maine woods where they were the main attraction at the Colby Winter Carnival. Needless to say, the Cou- Two hundred forty gars were once again victorious in a 4-1 victory with Handy Manny netting two tallies. Playing before capacity crowds on every occa- sion, Iceland,s Globetrotters, possessing a high- scoring aggregation, were feared by all comers. This is only too well evidenced by the fact that the Cougars humbled their traditional rivals, the Yale Yaks, by a 10-2 score with Hairless Harris leading the way with four goals.

XVith diversity the keynote for this year, the Outing Club expanded the scope and number of its activities. The old timers began the year camp- ing on Mt. Katahdin, and as the fall progressed, they picked up new members to go along on trips to the Club's cabin near Norfolk, Connecticut, for camping, to Lake George, New York, for canoeing, and to Vassar for square dancing. Crow- ell set his neophytes trail blazing on the Connec- ticut Blue Trails and readying the cabin for the coming ski season to fulfill their work require- ments and become members. With the winter came plans to inaugurate the YOC's Hrst IOCA ski carnival at Pico Peak, Rut- land, Vermont. Groups from eight clubs partici- pated with downhill, slalom and obstacle races for the skiers, a shovel race for the high-top boot crowd, and a banquet and square dance for all. During Spring Vacation, the last of the die- hard skiers wearily climbed the sides of Mt. Wash- ington, while others laid plans for canoeing. bicycle hikes and Engineering Camp Jamboree that were to follow. With summer fast approaching, Moffatt picked up his crook and departed, thereby depriving us of his spiritual and financial leadership. Singleton forgot the often insurmountable transportation problems and the ever unpredictable hearse. Hill dug to the bottom of his voluminous cash box to pay for Lundquist's last postcards and the rest of the Blueshirts suddenly found themselves eating Wednesday dinners in their own colleges. 3 Tzvo hundred forty-one Suite 16 - Illegitimi Non Cmfborundum R. John Beach P P. Christian Dietche R. Easton Bright jr. R. Press Engel R. Glenn Brown D. Dwight Foster D. Wilkins Coates P. Monroe Jackson Gathering its members from the limited ranks of the intellectual and well-rounded, the Suite 16 was solely dedicated to the proposition that within the framework of a University such as Yale there should exist a means of inculcating in each under- graduate a mature sense of values in addition to an enlightened moral code. The group therefore at- tempted to establish an organization which might enable its members in some part to obtain the ability to meet and successfully master the various crises which arise on the Yale scene. During the week regulated study rooms and informal discus- M. Wfycoffe Kasischke T. McCallum Pearce A. Brockelman Martin D. Los Penwell H. Amory McWhorter R. George Sheldon S. Barnes O'Donnell P. George Smith sions gave the student ample opportunities to over- come the obstacles of the Yale education. The weekends were generally spent in personal intro- spection or in observing and evaluating other as- pects of American culture. The year passed very pleasantly, and the Suite 16 must admit that despite the serious nature of their organization, they have all had to smile at the folly of themselves and others. Occasionally, however, they did feel that in smiling they were learning something of the humor of modern life, which after all was part of it you know.

The Bored Irving Lee Carver Jr. Yves Michel Coty Harold joseph Fallon Daniel Arthur Holme Frank Richard Kamps Lawrence Cutler Kristiansen Peter Herman Lousberg Robert Sawbridge McCormick John Lee O'Nan II Frank Wentxvorth Plummer William Wynne Sullivan Organized in 1951, the Bored is an organization dedicated to conviviality and comradeship. Its ranks are composed exclusively of Pierson men, chosen on the basis of nothing but a negative atti- tude and conformity to the demands of the gentle life. Its history is both brief and scattered. The patriarchs of this society incorporated as a group for the lack of something better to do and since that time have contented themselves with the search, or rather avoidance of anything worthy of their talents. In the early stages of its existence, the members of this organization were faced with two imposing problems. First of all, a name was needed, a name that was not only representative but at the same time distinctive. A solution was never reached by the members as such, but rather by their associates who branded, rather than named this collection. Secondly, a habitat deserving of the Bored's noble goals was in immediate demand. After care- fully weighing the offers of many local proprietors, a sanctuary was finally selected. And so, it came to pass that the Bored conducted their gather- ings in a setting of Old Heidelberg tradition and cheer. Its meetings are held weekly with attendance far from mandatory. The day of the flocking is usually decided upon with an eye toward breaking up the mid-week monotony of studied ease. The individualism of its members and the lack of a common denominator among them preclude the nced of officers or disciplinarians.

The weekly meetings have featured racing movies and lectures by some of Amer- ica's foremost motoring authorities, and several weekend events have been staged, including rallies in the Connecticut area, a trip to Vassar and a run to the Hartford Autorama. The Club hopes to hold joint meets with similar clubs at M.l.T., Harvard and Princeton.

S Q - 4 - 3 4 2 5 W 2 p th class Courtesy of the Nut Iluz U1 Iiegiilei 'I956 On a sunny fall afternoon in mid-September They Came, with Wonder in their faces and the dirt of travel on their shoes. The shoes told a lot. Here were the white bucks, now grey, which had been tinged light green on the grass in the spring of a hundred prep school campuses. Above them wereithe spanking new grey flannels and sport coats, moving jauntily, cocksurely across the Old Campus, seeing with their eyes the smoke- darkened buildings of the Old Campus and their rooms in Bingham and Vanderbilt, which f'1'f'r3'- one had said were the best a Freshman could get for his first year, and with their minds the more distant vistas of Fence Club and the Senior soci- eties. Here, too, were the more nondescript shoes of all sorts, leftovers from high school fads in local communities all over the country, treading a bit more uneasily in their bravado, belonging to young men clad often in sport shirts and tropical weave slacks, who talked of baseball and the ap- proaching football season and weren't going to be taken by the suave upper-classmen at the sales booths. And in contrast to these two groups of hard- shelled young men Haunting the Yale noun, there was a smaller element from each group, filled with a sense of wonder at what they saw and at where they found themselves. This element, being quieter and less obtrusive, went generally un- noticed, although it was larger than in years past. Yet, being larger, it made itself felt to a greater degree than in years past, for the freshman year is traditionally a time for getting to know the extra-curricular interests, general habits, and tol- erances to liquor of one's classmates. And their sense of wonder and curiosity per- vaded the Old Campus during the year. Far less in evidence than in past years were the rioting drunks Two lunzrlml fifty-lbrce and the healthy baboons with old football letters on their sweaters. Perhaps the threat of increasing conscription of college students kept noses to in- dividual grindstones-however it might be ac- counted for, the poor showing cf the freshman football team was taken in stride and the Prom Committee elected a quiet, thoughtful chzirman rather than a boisterous, old-school executive type. The claw: fzzgurw sound-and-fury wailers might eall such an attitude apathetic, but such a charge could be easily refuted, for spirited per- formances by the soccer, basketball, and swimming teams gave the freshmen an aura of athletic suc- cess, and the festivities on Brown weekend with its warm reception of Smith and Vassar, Prince- ton weekend with a history-making blast that rocked Lawrance, frequent jam sessions in Dwight Hall, and the Prom itself. For mzzny, the Prom high-pointed the year, a two-day aura of gaiety, now boisterous to a fast Charleston, now subdued to XVittstein's violin in Woolsey Hall and the two fraternities, now formal in the stateliness of dinner jackets. now casual in afternoon cocktail parties and an abundance of beer. And this was followed by the gaiety of spring weekends, warmed by the sun and cooled by the perennial water-guns. Yet the sense of wonder remained. And to those who so often before had shaken their heads, there was a glow of hope that this freshman year was something more than merely a study in the gentle or brutal art of filling in time.

'aj x y '5 J k f ATHLETIC Football The 1956 Freshman football team, lacking the power and depth necessary for a winning team, and hampered by injuries to key men throughout the season, was unable to equal the record of the previous year, but still managed to show a great potential. Their record of five losses and two ties fails to show accurately a picture of the season and the team. Even though the necessary touch- downs didn't appear, the group included many individually good players ably led by captain Bill Lovejoy. The yearlings were played to a tie by both Columbia, 14-14, and Chesire, 13-13, having led early in the game, but failed to hold their op- ponents in the last half. This was typical of the entire season, as the Yale team proved itself strictly a first half ball club. In the Dartmouth contest, the score was 7-7 at the half, but the Freshmen were unable to hold Dartmouth in the second half. In the Cornell game, Yale was behind by only a touchdown going into the second half, but the margin had widened considerably by the termina- tion of play. The Brown game was similar, as Yale entered the second half again trailing by only one touchdown, but unable to muster the further necessary drive to overcome their opponents. The traditional rivals, Princeton and Harvard, provided excellent competition, with the second half of the Princeton game showing the great potential of some of the individual yearlings. The record of Gib Holgate's freshmen should be passed over lightly, but the play of such men as Captain Bill Lovejoy, Terry Malloy, Phil Tar- asovic, and Joe Wennick will stand out as one of the bright features of this season. These four players were coach Gib Holgate's sixty second men, playing on both offense and defense, in an effort to make up for lack of depth. Terry Malloy proved invaluable at offensive center, and coupled Two bnnclrra' fifly-six -3 , K .- A 1 M :assay ,wav MNA Q with Phil Tarasovic at the end on defense and Bill Lovejoy at tackle, provided the needed spark for a fighting line. Joe Wennick's sound play in the backfield, aided by hard driving backs Bill Peniston and Ray Foote, gave the yearlings their offensive punch. Coach Olivar and his staff have high hopes for quite a few of these boys next fall and expect them to bolster his ranks. 4 V 4 , 1 Q a ii- 'K ,,, :., .s l-,.,3,,g3s3',, ,L K,- 'Z'Y' ,fi, :f l ., t A 'A iii 5 l Track and Cross- .

Having some strong runners, but lacking depth, Bob Giegengack's freshman cross country team produced a mediocre record for the fall season. The squad managed to salvage two wins in five dual meets by beating Princeton and Brown. In their other meets the harriers lost to Fordham and Brooklyn Prep by two point margins, and were overcome by Harvard, 23-25 in the final contest of the year. Outstanding for the hill-and-dale squad was Lyall Crary who placed highly in every meet, taking two first places. Other dependable runners were Paul Huber and Richard Boynton. The freshman winter track squad produced some promising cindermen, but displayed a lack of reserves. In the first meet of the year, the frosh turned in poor performances as they were trounced by Andover, 61-43. The team was especially weak in the hurdles and high jump, but had some capable men in the other departments. Excelling thus far in the season were Phil Tarasovic in the shot-put and discus, Jack Daniels in the 600 yard run, Pete Kohler in the 1000, George Stoddart in the broad jump, jack Hafner in the dashes, and Frank Laidlaw in the heavy weights. ,Y WM., 3' 4 , Q U U' is F6 is 24 19 f P 51 y P3 5'- A .asp ,AS Q 47 1921 SBW W QTXQM5 he ill?

Soccer Backed by an almost impregnable defense and sparked by a fast-breaking offensive battery, the Yale freshman soccer team compiled a successful 7-2-1 season's record. After a two game initiation period, the team, lcd by Captain Ed Barlow, built up a skein of six victories before dropping a hard- fought decision to Princeton, 1-0. The Hrst scheduled game of the season found the newly coordinated Cubs pitted against the Exeter varsity. In a thrilling contest the Blue visitors battled their prep-school opponents to a 1-1 standstill, the tying goal being punched in by the Elis' Charlie Omana in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter. While unable to overcome a seven-year losing jinx, the Bullpups were greatly abetted by goalie Francis Oil-Iara, who beautifully blocked a penalty kick that would have meant victory for Exeter. Following a 2-0 disaster against a bettcr-func- tioning University of Connecticut eleven, the Cubs began to exhibit the mettle that carried them to a string of six successive victories by downing Andover, 3-1. Goals were registered by Barlow Two ZIIIVILIITII fifly-rigfvf and Dave Macky in the second period and by season high-scorer Bob Dennen in the third. After blanking Cheshire, 2-0, the squad went against the Springfield jayvees. Combining a fine passing attack with a close-knit and hard-playing defense, the Bullpups came out at the long end of a 3-1 score. With a victory by the same margin over the Wesleyan freshmen and a 12-0 pasting of Wilbur Cross High adding new lustre to their crown of victories, the team, led by the scoring power of Larry Guthrie, Barlow, Dennen, and Omana, stretched their credit further with a 4-0 count over Choate. Tiger captain Derrick Driemeier stopped the wheel of progress, however, as he placed one by the boards to give Princeton a 1-0 edge over the battling Elis. Temporarily unhinged but not daunted, the Cubs retaliated in their last game by handling the previously once-beaten Har- vard freshmen a 1-0 setback. When the smoke of battle cleared from the windy playing fields of Cambridge, the Cubs cheered the loudest, victory coming on a penalty shot taken by right halfback Alex Taylor in the second period. l TER PORT Basketball Playing a colorful, racehorse style of basketball, the freshman cagers compiled a creditable record of seven wins and four losses, while several games, including Princeton and Harvard, remained on the schedule. Under Coach Tom Vogt, the team faced a serious problem in lack of height. However, with guards Ellsworth Morgan and Chuck Ross leading the attack, the Blue outran and outshot most of the opposition, averaging almost 70 points a game. Pete Bartlett, 6'2 former Andover captain, and Bill Tatlock opened at the forwards, with rangy 6'3 Captain Chuck West in the pivot. Opening the season with a 76-74 victory over Brown, the team dropped an overtime decision to Connecticut. Trinity, N.Y.U., and Horace Mann fell by wide margins, but Army resulted in a three point loss. After wins over weak Flatbush and Hartford squads, the main trend of the season began to appear, in an overtime loss to Holy Cross, 78-74. The Yearlings were strong in the last quar- ter, but against a tall and talented team they simply could not get enough rebounds to win. Andover provided a chance to clear the bench and an interlude in the disappointing four-point losses, but the pattern reasserted itself as Columbia upset the Blue by a narrow margin. With no outstanding defensive player on the team, Coach Vogt attempted to solve the de- fensive problem with various presses, and a couple of hatchet men to hold down the opposition before fouling out. Frequently in action in this capacity and as substitute was 6'5 Ed Wall. Fourllw row-Iinsley, Bartlett, Ready, Abramson. Tbiml row-Lang, Johnson, Letts, Pruett, Tatlock, Logan, Vogt QCoachj.

Springheld suffered a 9-4 trouncing from the Bullpups, but they were beaten, 2-1, by Hamden High in the closing seconds. Despite good team play, lack of fast skaters prevented a phenomenal record. Captain Dave Ingalls, flanked by Dave Horton and Jack Akers, turned in a creditable performance on the first line. Standouts on defense were Ken MacKenzie and Bob Catlin. The second line consisted of Angus XVurtele, Jeff Parsons, and Gerry Corwin, the second defense of Herb MacLaughlin and Tiff Bingham.

Fenton Wsrestlhag The freshman wrestling team started the 1953 season in good form, downing a highly-rated Columbia squad, 21-9, and defeating prep school rival Andover, 21-3. Standouts for the Blue were Dick Mansell at 137 lb., Rog Hinkson at 167 lb., and Pete Cone in the unlimited class. Rounding out the talented squad were Marshall Masterson, weighing 123, Dick Yoder at 130, Don Riley at 177, Jack Meader at 147, Jim Kern at 130, and Worth David at 157. Witli four more opponents, including Taft, Brown, Princeton, and Harvard still to be dealt with, the Bullpups promised to have a very successful season, and a good one for George Graveson, in his first year as coach.

Squash Led by standouts Warren Zimmermann and cap- tain Ned Vare, the Freshman squash team won the season's first game by taking eight out of nine matches against Amherst. Other top men included Stoddard Platt, Jerry Manges, George Unhoch, and Hamilton Southworth. The racquetmen showed considerable promise by subsequently defeating Choate 8-1 and tying Haverford 4-4. A 75-man squash ladder gave coach John Skillman oppor- tunity to build a smoothly functioning squad. Daily challenge matches gave every man on the ladder the opportunity to compete for a place in intercollegiate competition. The team was able to improve greatly as the season progressed. Fencing Freshman fencing, under Coach Albert Grasson, showed great promise early in the season with a squad of many who had never fenced before, but who were later to display dazzling dexterity and speed. The season's opener saw the team out- fencing Hopkins as Don Fong and Les Zucker- man led the team with three wins apiece. Against Riverdale the fencers showed strength in epee men Ray Carlson and Steve Ocko, but finally lost, 20-7. Columbia upheld its reputation for the high- est in fencing ability by defeating the Eli swords- men, 20-7, as Yalc's epee team was the only winning threesome. Grasson retained high hopes for winning the remaining matches. 'I' If I r if r 11 za --Langworthy QManagerj, Cuddy, Daly, Leppelmeier, NVilliams, Diasio, Grasson QCoachj .

Swimming In the pre-Christmas warmup period, Harry Burke's freshman swimmers tangled with some of the local high schools, displaying their power- house potential. First to fall before the 1956 mer- men was Hamden High, 50-16. Sandy Gideonse, the sensational Lawrenceville prep school cham- pion, swam the 50-yard freestyle in 22.6, smashing the former freshman record of Kerry Donovan. The brightest stars of the meet were Mark Tho- man, 100-yard freestyle ace, and Eli's diving combination of Peck Hayne and Gene Robinson. Using as many of the roster as possible, the Bullpups slaughtered their across-the-street rivals, Hillhouse High, 55-11. Gicleonse showed ver- satility by swimming the 100-yard freestyle in 51.3. The deSola-Merritt-Smith combination took the medley relay with Sabin Robbins replacing Gideonse in the 50. The Cubs swamped East Haven High School, 51-15, as Gideonse churned past all opposition in 22.9 and John Phair raced through the 200-yard freestyle in 2:05.6, beating his teammate John Fleming by a hair, while Thoman, closely followed by Mike Breton, splashed to victory in the 100- yard freestyle. Peck in his third consecutive victory won the one-meter dive.

With Gideonse crushing all challengers in the 100-yard breaststroke and the individual med- ley, and jim Rae taking an Eli first in the 50-yard freestyle, the Cub mermen forged ahead. Yale dropped the grueling 200-yard freestyle to Arm- strong, Hill's brightest star, who again displayed his talents by leaving a swift Blue foursome in his wake as he anchored the 200-yard freestyle relay. Ralston won the 100-yard backstroke handily for Yale while the Eli medley trio of Niles, Merv Ber- enblum, and Sabin Robbins turned in an excep- tional clocking. The Cub mermen finished the triangular contest on top with Hill second and Hotchkiss at the bottom. Nearing the hundredth mark in consecutive vic- tories, the freshmen submerged Springfield, 59-16, with Fleming taking a first in the 200 and Rae in the 50. Yale won easily. At Andover the frosh splashed to an easy win, 46-29, shattering existing pool records and win- ning., every event except the freestyle relay. Phair easily triumphed in the 200 with a fast 2100.6 while his roommate Thoman won the 100-yard freestyle event. Gideonse turned in a 1:O6.2, his fastest clocking for the breaststroke.
