Sophomore Quandary
The Sophomore class counts one-hundred and five
members. From this number, less than fifty percent
were present at the first meeting of the year. Those
present displayed a general lack of interest in the seriousness
of their problems.
If the small attendance at the meeting was any indication
of class unity, we doubt that the sophomores
will have the drive necessary to accomplish their
objectives.
Paul' Tremont, class president, has announced a
proposed dance on October 31st at Albertus Magnus
College. This affair is for Fairfield Sophomores exclusively
and will be sponsored by the corresponding class
at Albertus: It is intended that this dance will strengthen
our rather frail relations with this school and it is
hoped that many of the Sophomores will attend. To a
financially conscious class, it should be noted that this
dance will involve no expenses.
This, then, is our answer to the question: we support
the freedom of each individual voter to express his
choice as he sees fit according to his conscience. We can
neither urge nor ask more from .any man.
Therefore, the financial outlook for this class is
rather glum. In less than three years they will have to
support their class year book. Unless they devise some
unique venture, it seems improbable that they will be
able to finance the more modest of their senior year
obligations.

The team appears to have
more all-around strength than
last year but will undoubtably
miss the flashy ball-handling of
Freddy Lane who is ineligible.
Rouche, 6-5, Suchenski, 6-4, and
Gerwein, 6-3 give the team exceptionally
fine rebounding talent.
Ed Hogan, 6-6 can also be
called on for the center spot.
Bobby Markovic, hampered by

most of the outside shooting.

Plains Tech
THE STAG
By DUTCH MACCHIA
The Cross Country team is to
open the season against White
Plains Tech, on October 30, on
our own course. The team will
depend on Al Purcell and Bill
Mecca to lead the squad. Both
are experienced runners who
have shown the way in previous
competition.
The Harriers will be trying to
erase last year's one and two
record, and hope to start the season
off with a decisive win.
To Meet New Britain
The team's second meet of the
season will be against New Britain
State Teachers College, on
November 12. Last year the
Teachers handed our club their
second loss of" the season. An
unofficial meet is to be scheduled
with the Prep squad sometime in
the near future, which will more
or less be a tune up for the
regular meets.
The other members of the
team who will perform this year
are Hank Higgins fro mthe Prep,
Bob Mazariz, Jack Buckley, Don
Delia, Frank Creighton and Pete
Rackiewizi.
The University basketball season got underway last
week at the Armory with Coach Jim Hanrahan having
a dual purpose in mind. First, he put his holdovers and
new candidates through a rigorous conditioning grind
in order to have his forces in shape for heavy practice
starting this week. Second, he conducted a tryout period
for some fifteen new aspirants to the varsity and
freshman squads.
Holdovers In Condition
The hold overs from last year
looked exceptionally good along
with several newcomers. Stan
Suchenski, rugged center the
past two years, and Bobby Gerwein
showed themselves to be
in fin.e condition along with
Jackie O'Connell. Suchenski, especially,
has been shooting and
rebounding in midseason form.
Several new boys have flashed
and have indicated they
will make strong bids for Varsity
berths. Among them, Ed Bush of
Bristol High and Jim Gallagher
of Simsbury have been most impressive.
Bush has shown himself
to be a fine all-around player,
while Gallagher, only 6-1, has
proven his ability to rebound
with the other taller centers. Jim
Roche, who is being groomed for
"Watch out for "K's Killers!" the starting center position, has
- a phrase heard quite often I-==---=-:=-=::::----~-----.:.--~--------------
in the halls these days, signifies
the intense interest in
the intramural football program.
The most hotly contested campaign
in the history of the school
is promised. Bob Markovic, Stan
Suchenski, Paul Frauhenhoffer
and Norbie Fahey-all members
of the varsity basketball team,
are expected to be the nucleus
of the team flying the banner of
"K's Killers." In addition to
all the athletic talent, it is
rumored that they're receiving
excellent coaching by Jesuit faculty
members in secret practice.
The defending champs, unbeaten
in last year's competition, being
men of "few words" had "no
comment" at press time. In the
meantime, though, Basketball
Coach Jim Hanrahan might
have a nervous breakdown worrying
about the health of his
squad.

MAYER
(Continued from Page 1)
filled this vacancy with another
member of the senior class. Roy
Ervin, a council candidate last
year, was the council's choice to
fill the nost. Mr. Ervin has participated
in many school activi~
ties: debating, Public Affairs
Club, and Manor Staff. His special
interest ,however, has been
in the Glee Club.
Procedure
In the case of a resignation
from a council post, it is the
usual procedure that the man
who received the next number
of votes be given the appointmerit.
The present situation,
however, was a little more complicated.
Mario Antignani, the
next man in line, was also under
an obligation that forced
him to decline the appointment.
Thus the council looked to third
position where it was found
that two men were eligible. By
an inter-council election, then,
Mr. Ervin was chosen, thus
solving the problem.
Father Lyons has succeeded in revamping the Student Ath.
etic AssoCiation. H~ certainly deserves a lot of credit because it
was a difficult job. This Association will surely help the Athletic
Department in the future.
The drive and dribble news is already developing. I recently
received a letter from the Sports Editor of the "St. Louis University
News." He has an idea for an All-Jesuit basketball team
o be chosen by the Jesuit colleges in the country. The idea
seems to be a good one-the only hitch being the actual selection
of the .team. For instance, we here at Fairfield will engage only
one Jesuit opponent, LeMoyne of Syracuse. Thus, our view of
the Jesuit athletes will be necessarily hampered. However, there
are several possible solutions to the problems. As soon as something
more definite developes I'll report it to you.
ON THE FOOTBALL FRONT - About three weeks ago I
saw two Jesuit rivals engage in a great game. I am speaking of
the Holy Cross, Fordham game, which the Cross won by the score
of 12-7. Talk about Southern Conference football, where the air
is usually fi-lled with footballs. This game resembled the proverbial
circus. A total of 81 passes were thrown, with 40 completions.
The running plays were so infrequent that the crowd cheered
every time the play stayed on the ground. The Cross will definitely
have trouble the rest of the year, especially against Boston
College. It's a good thing they have several breathers scheduled.
Again on the subject of football ... our neighborhood rivals,
Bridgeport U., certainly has its hands full. The football team
has brought home only one win in five starts. To be completely
fair, their schedule is a tough one. However, that is not the main
fault. The big difficulty is the apparent lack of school spirit which
the Seasiders have been forced to contend with. If things do not
change radically, then this could be the last football season for
the Purple Knights.
NAMES AND NOTES:
World Series certainly produced a good many heroes. The
biggest story of the series, to my mind, was the performance of
John Mize. The proverbial "old pro" came through with six hits;
three of them homers, and drove in six important runs. I imagine
that this performance will earn him another season as a pinch
hitter. He needs about a dozen more hits for the 2000 mark.
Three of the principals in the recent basketball fix have hit
Ihe news again. Sherman White of Long Island University, with
Ralph Beard and Alex Groza of the Kentucky Wildcats are trying
10 play professional basketball this season. They are attempting
10 play in. the American league, probably the second largest pro
league in the country. It operates, in Connecticut, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and New York.· This naturally will cause quite a
slir: but who or what can really stop them? If a court case was
made out of their inability to obtain work in their chosen profession
because of private intervention (meaning Ned Irish and
such characters), what would the verdict be?

the information to the office. He
cited the failure of the various
clubs and committees to transmit
such information, and he
said that this was the reason why
there seemed to be some lack of
publicity.
Cites Clubs
In proof of his point, McCormick
cited the publicity which
the business club and the glee
club received last year, and that
these groups were publicized because
they made available the'
necessary information.
Mr. Welch, of the Senior Class,
made the point that a posible
reason why information was not
given to the Public Relations
office, was that the students, as
a whole, had never been informed
that this step was necessary.
Mr. McCormick agreed.
Remedy
To remedy the situation, Mr.
Cro~in noted that Bob Murphy,
chaIrman of the Council Publicity
Committee, would handle all
council in form at ion requiring
publiciy in the future. He also
suggested that the Club secretaries
and the student body in
general be informed through the
STAG of the required procedure.
The steps as outlined by Mr.
McCormick are as follows:
1. whenever there is an event
which can be publicized - ,election,
dance, social, guest speakers,
etc., - the public relations
office should be given the pertinent
facts;
