Joseph D. Miko Scrapbook

Scrapbook
Joe Miko, Class of 1951, scored the first ever basket in the history of
Fairfield University Varsity Basketball. He was inducted into the Fair-field
University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989 for his contributions to the
sports of Basketball, Cross Country, and Track. In 2008, he loaned the
University Archives his college scrapbook so that some of these great
memories could be made available in digital form. The following pages
contain scanned images of newspaper clippings, tickets and programs
from his years as a top athlete at Fairfield University.
Joe Miko graduated in 1951, the first year that Fairfield University conferred undergraduate degrees.
As a member of the fledgling "Red Stags" in track, cross country and basketball, Miko made a name for
himself as one of the most versatile athletes on campus. Miko excelled in track. Weekly, the campus
newspaper, The Stag, chronicled his exploits on the gravel oval, in the pole vault, and over the high
jump bar. Long-legged and springy, Miko set the school records in pole vault and the high jump. His
long kick also made him an invaluable member of the relay team. Joe was also a three-year cross
country performer at Fairfield, earning kudos as a miler.
In a career of firsts, Joe Miko played a large part in what some consider a fine tradition in the East.
Basketball at Fairfield began on an intramural level during the 1947-48 season, and made the jump to
varsity the following year. On December 1, 1948, the Red Stags travelled to Brooklyn College for their
first varsity game. It was Joe Miko who started that first game at center. It was Joe Miko who grabbed
that first rebound. And it was Joe Miko who scored those first points on a reverse lay-up. During Joe
Miko's time at Fairfield, he played against many of the top teams in the East, including a visit with Bob
Cousy and the national power of Holy Cross.
On a personal note, Miko’s Fairfield University degree in economics led him to a career in banking,
becoming vice-president for Citytrust in Bridgeport. A longtime resident of Stratford, Miko has con-tributed
to a variety of community groups, such as the Bridgeport Men's Garden Club, the Lions Club
and the American Red Cross.
Joseph D. Miko, Class of 1951
a brief biography
Fr. Leeber [then Mr. Leeber, a scholastic] was a very influential
friend. He started the first cross country team as well as the first
track team. We also started basketball and baseball in ’48, so we
had a number of athletic programs. People went out for them for
social reasons as well as for the sheer enjoyment of sport. Our first
oficial basketball game was against Brooklyn College and I hap-pened
to be the center. One of the guys threw a bounce pass to me
and I was right under the basket. This big guy in back of me, 6’8”,
was crowding me and sort of pushed me. But I fell away, threw the
ball up, and it went in. The cheers that went up from the crowd
were just fantastic. And those were Fairfield’s first two points.

Representative
Of Connecticut
Law School Here
On Tuesday, March 6. Profes­sor
Thomas L. Archibald, Dean
of Admission at the Connecticut
Law School in Hartford, visited
the Fairfield campus with two
!members of the law school fac­ulty.
Due to difficulties encount­ered
on their journey here the
three representatives arrived too
late to speak to prospective law
students. However, they did con­verse
with the Dean, Fr. Lang­guth.
and Reverend Francis A.
Small, the newly appointed ad­visor
for the prospective law­yers.
Professor Archibald stressed
the importance of knowing how
to write English correctly and
accurately as a step in prepar­ing
for studies in a law school.
History and Political Sciences
are also important for prepared­ness,

made no comment as to which

Coach Jim Hanrahan Maps Out His Strategy Which Led The STAGS To A 15-10 Record In His First Year At Fair field
Men of Fairfield, aather 'round No denying we want this one;
me "' lt's the last game of the year.
There's ~ story to be told I Now the crowd around me
Of our stl'~ng and stubborn quiets,
":'arnors, . And the game gets under way
Who displayed thetr courage As the Referee blows his whistle,
bold. And the ball is put in play.
It all started at a rally
Just about two weeks ago.
Where the coach and all the
hoopsters
Swore we'd beat ow· burly
foe.
How we laughed and how we
shouted
Epitaphs at Bridgeport U.
We were good and boy, we
knew it,
But our rivals knew it too.
Soon the battle was upon us
In that renowned Annory
Where young faces filled all
places
And sang loud in harmony.
"Hurrah! Hurrah! A cheer for
Fairfield!"
Voices echoed in the air,
Again, "Hurrah!"-A cheer for
Bridgeport,
A real bipartisan affail·.
Just a minute before game­time
As I look to see who's here,
Many friends, familiar faces,
Many lovelies, dark and fair.
On the wall the clock says ready,
Look! Our boys are knelt in
prayer.
rwo m~n .ium~ for its possession
And then, as the story goes,
Our men fought for every
basket,
But the fouls brought us
woes ..
Then how suddenly we realized
That our rivals would be
tough,
Yet, we had to win this ball
game,
Though the going might be
rough.
How the seconds and the min­utes
Slipped away in rapid style,
Until half-tit:ne was approaching
Closer, closer all the while.
Oh, the tally at the high-mat'k
Was enough to make us blue;
For we led our keen opponents
By the slender score of two.
How we wondered at the respite
What the final score would be;
Could we keep the lead forever
And thus bring home victory?
Now we're back in our places,
All eyes pointed to the floor.
Now the seconds start a'ticking
And we're in the game once
more.
Oh! our boys are doing nicely.
See? They're passing very
well.
Until Gabriel blows his trumpet
And with gusty voice he yells:
"I am sorry, my good fellows,
By the oath of Kaniky.
But I am bound to call a foul,
Slight as it may seem to be!"
Oh! The heckling followed
swiftly
And as U.B. racked up twice.
From the outraged crowd of
Fairfield
Voices chanted, "Two Blind
mice!"
Now our Stags are getting tired
As they trot across the floor,
But the Purple takes a tonic
And they bolt up to the fore.
Every set-shot like a rainbow
Forms an arc of purple bold,
And to compliment its master,
Each sphere finds its pot of
gold.
Now the game is almost over,
And the Stags are down by
ten.
Oh! the future seems so hopeless
As our dreams of "might have
been."
But 'tis here that unsung glory
Soars above this narrow hall,
As Mullady, Kehoe, Miko,
AU start clicking with the
ball.
Bridgeport leading by one point
now,
Sixty seconds and tis done!
Fairfield rooters "going crazy";
U.B. feeling sure they'd won.

Father Crowley's most preva­lent
interest at Fairfield Univer­sity
is to instill in his students
the desire to learn and to enjoy
learning. Unfor tunately, Father
Crowley has not had sufficient
time to form an opinion of Fair-field
University. However, he
does admit that he finds the stu­dents
and the locality extremely
agreeable.

Professor Keefe urged that if
it is possible a law student
should not be involved in out­side
employment. But H it is
necessary he implores that he
be allowed to place the student
in a law firm. This will also
tend to help the student with
his studies. The wages usually
range from $2,000 (for day stu­dents
to $4,000 for night stu­dents).

to pay t.l'ibute to all
those who were responsible for
this splendid achievement.
To beatn with. I think the
major share of credit should go
to Coach Jim Hanrahan. During
the past season Coach Hanra­han
has disproved the old adage
"a coach ts only as good as his
matenal." Jim took young, raw,
inexpcrtenced boys and by dint
of hard work, inspirational
teaching, and undaunted spirit,
molded them into as fine a team
as has ever been seen in these
parts. In Jim Hanrahan, Fairfield
University has one of the best
coaches in the country. May he
always remain with us and may
he always .9ut forth teams of the
calibre of '50-'51.
Next in line for accolades,
comes the team. Very shortly,

These men deserve their awards,

those who w11l shortly depart

of good fortune. May your fu­ture

you have displaved here at Fair­field.

Eliminations Begin
In Table Tennis
Monday, March 5th, saw the
fourth annual mid-winter Ping
Pong Tourney get under way.
A record number of 50 entrants
got away fast anct the elimina­tions
are already well under
way. Because of the large num­ber
of entrants, some partici­pants
received first round byes,
and will meet the survivors of
the first round games.
Du~·i ng the early games, the
rl:!g ular table "habitants" went
thrcugh the f-rst round practic­ally
without upset. Tony Fatti­bcne,
last years champ, defeated
Tommy McCalla, and Ross Whe­lan
outlasted Rocky Forte. Oth­ers,
among them Bob Steele,
Harry Marmion, and Tom Fla­herty

In the most exciting and easily
the best played match in the
tournament thus far, Steele, the
first year's champ, came back
strong against Don Saltus after
losing the opening game, and
won the last two games to come
out on top.
In the tourney thus far, the
most outstanding fa'ct is that the
student spectators are getting
larger and nosier, and it seems
that the game has caught on in
the school. The finals should
bring a large crowd to the con­fines
of Xavier Hall.

Jayvees Lose
Final Games
The Junior Varsity wound up
the '50-'51 season with a 5 won
and 4 lost record, dropping their
last two outings to the U.B.
Freshmen and the Junior Col­lege
of Commerce of New Ha­ven.
Fairfield had defeated both
of these teams earlier in the sea­son.
In the prelim at the Armory
on March 2, the Jayvees bowed
to U:B. by a 43-38 sc01·e. The
STAGS were on top of a 16-11
count at the intermission after
a slow and rough first half.
Bridgeport employed a fast
break late in the third · 'l'iod
and took a 1~ whlch it ·Jever
relinquished.
Besides playing his usually
fine floor game, Bill Smith pour­ed
in 10 points while Dick In­certo,
George Boser, and Don
Burns chipped in eight, seven,
and six respectively.
Fairfield traveled to New Ha­ven
for an afternoon game on
March 5, losing to .the Junior
College of Commerce of the
Elm City by the score of 63-44.
New Haven· took command in
the second period and held a
34 to 22 advantage at half-time.
The "Red Men" had trouble stay­ing
within 15 points of the New
Haven Club in the second stanza.
Patsy Paglia1·ulo and Boser hit
for 11 and 8, while Bill Meehan,
Harry Marmion, and Bill Smith
looked good on rebound work,
as well as contributing seven,
six and six points in that order.
The Junior Varsity won all
but one game at the Armory,
dropping three out of four on
the road. Fairfield averaged 42.8
~oints at home and 46.5 on for­eign
court~. 'The opp~i~10n was
held to an average of 35.4 at the
Al·mory and averaged 60.2 at

large sized lead until three min­utes
were left to go. At this
point, Fairfield saw a 20-17
deficit increase to 26-17 as Jim
Mullaney and Don Goodwin, the
one-two punch of Tufts, scored
six points between them. Paul
Frauenhofer connected with a
foul shot and Goodwin matched
it" seconds later. After this, Stan
Suchenski dunked a basket and
a pair of fouls, and Joe Kehoe
added a two-pointer to close the
gap to 26-24 as the half ended.
The charges of Jim Hanrahan
tied the count at the start of
the final 20 minutes of play, as
Kehoe tallied a basket to make
it 26-all. Marvin Schenfeld anrl
Jimmy Homa exchanged mark­ers.
Schenfeld converted a foul
shot, and Bobby Markovic pour­ed
a push shot through the nets
to give Fairfield a 30-29 lead.
Lowell Greenbet·g and Homa
were in on the exchange of bas­kets
after this, and Al Bennett
gave Tufts the lead a~ain with
a long set to make it Tufts, 33,
F.U. 32.
They never lost the lead after
this, and with 12 minutes l'e­maining,
went on a scoring spree
that saw them gain 15 markers
while the Nutmeggers added
only two. With 10 minutes left,
the count was 51-38, a gap the
STAGS were never able to
close.
Suchenski paced the offensive
attack of Fairfield, tallying 18
points, while Markovic added
10. Tufts had four men in double
figures. Schenfeld led the way
with 18, followed by Goodwin
with 15, Mullaney with 14 and
Greenberg with 12.
Upset Hawks For Second Time
In the consolation game for
third place, Fairfield staged its
second straight win over St.
Anselm's who went into the
tourney the favorite to make the
trip to Kansas.
The first 20 minutes of play
saw Billy O'Connor put on a
one-man show, as he meshed 20
points, mostly from underneath.
Suchenski and Markovic match­ed
this total, as they tallied 10
each.
The contest was a close duel
throughout, and in the final half,
Fairfield played a very deliber­ate
style of ball, taking shots
only when there was an open­ing.
Markovic set the offensive
attack, garnering 14 points.
O'Connor was held to five in the
second half.
The lead changed hands sev­eral
times, and it wasn't until
there were seven minutes left
that the STAGS gained a lead
they never relinquished. Trail­ing
57-56, Suchenski scored on
a pivot to make it 58-56. From
then on the scoring was di­vided
amongst Markovic who
scored four points and Jack
Mullady who scored a like num­ber
and Suchenski who scored
two points, while St. A's were
litnHI:!d to Bart Lavin's two sets
and Bill Williams' drive-in and
foul shot.
O'Connor was top scorer for
the game with 25, while Marko­vic
was next in line with 24.
Lavin added 11 and Williams
added 13 for St. A's. Suchenski
was runner-up in scoring laurels
for the STAGS with 15 while
Frauenhofer connected for 12.
As a fitting climax to a pair
of good performances, Suchen­ski
was named to the all-tourna­ment
team that also included

Holy Cross, Saturday, March 18,
before a capacity crowd of 3,000
at Worcester Auditorium. Fair­field
was drubbed 89-43. Cousy
et al were simply too good for
the Stags.
The fans of course were Holy
Cross rooters, but out of the par­tisan
crowd, there was a familiar
cheer. The Cross' fans stopped
for a moment while 50 to 100
Fairfielders gave a .loyal and
heart-warming shout for the
definitely overpowered Stags.
All American Bob Cousy was
the star.- dropping in a cool 27
points while Sullivan and Ke­hoe
hit 12 and 10 respectively
for Fairfield. Special honors,
however, go to Joe Miko. 'Jump­ing
Joe' looked especially well
in clearing the boards, a feature
the fans did not miss nor did
Matty Forman.
Autograph hounds were prev­alent
at the auditorium. One
small fry mistook Davey Roach
for a highly popular Cross play­er.
Neither Davey nor the fan
had a pencil.
All the boys stayed overnight
at the Alumni Hall on the
campus where everyone enjoyed
a quiet and restful evening.

Reception Day Is Great Success
The first Reception Day for
Freshmen, last Fl-idoay, Septem­ber
23, proved to be a great suc­cess.
The program was planned.
coordinated and carried ou-t by
the Junior Class. After the Mess
of the Holy Ghost, the student
body assembled at the cafe<teria
in Xavier Hall where decorated
booths of ·the various clubs and
organizations were situated.
Originally scheduled to take
pla·ce at the newly built outdoor
basketball cout'ts, plans were
changed at the last moment due
to inclement weather. However,
it did not alter the success of the
Reception Day.
Not only did the freshmen
benefit from their introduction
to the activities in the school,
for sophomores and juniors also
showed interest in many of the
clubs which had information
•a:bout their organizations at their
booths.
The Day promises to become
a yearly event at school. Nothing
but pi'Iaise has been h~rd con­cerning
the affair from bO'th

Special pr.a:ise goes io Al Bown

the whole success. Bown headed

F. U. Meets Arnold
Placing but one man in the
first five finishers, Fairfield Uni­versity's
cross country team lost
its opening dual meet of the sea­son
last Friday, as White Plains
Technical Institute carried off a
16-39 victory. The Red and
White harriers will engage Ar­nold
College of nearby Milford
on Saturday in an attempt to
post their first win of the early
season.
The invading New York
school swept the first fow· places
on Friday, as Vin De Buono
crossed the tape first, registering
a good time of 19:05 for the
course. Teammates Bob Sulli­van,
Pete Melujck and Tom
Kelley followed close behind,
with Bart Stuart closing out the
victors scoring, as he finished
sixth.
Joe Miko, registering fifth,
was the first to register points
for the Red Stags, with Ed Dowl­ing,
Geo1·ge Boser and the Stern­chak
brothers, Connie and

to round out the scoring for the

Staging a brilliant second half
scoring rush Fairfield University
opened its basketball season by
crushing Brooklyn PolyteJ:hnic In­stitute,
68 to 40, in the Armory last
night. The Red Stags were behind,
26 to 25, at halftime.
Coach Jim ¥anrab,an, new mentor
of the Red Stags used a two-team
system to good advantage.
J oe Kehoe Stars
The big gun in Fairfield's initial
triumph was Joe Kehoe who was
easily the' outstanding performer on
the court with his 22 point output.
All of Kehoe's points wet·e scored
from action. Bobby Markovic, high­ly-
touted high school star, and Jack
Moffett w e: r e tied for runnerup
honors with 11 points each. Lead­ing
point-getter for Brooklyn Poly
' was Jerry Rosep who hit the mesh­es
for a total of 13 markers.
From the opening whistle it look­ed
aa though the Fairfield lads
were going to be in for a rough
evening as the visitors quickly
jumped off to a 3-0 lead and ran
it up to 18-9 in the early minutes
of play. But the Red Stags bega n
tn 'lllll>ittle down the margin and
came within a point of a tie as the
half ended.
Fairfield looked like a new team
when the second halt got undl'r·
way with a remarkable display -of
s hooting, ball handling and spirit.
A near drive-in shot by Jack Sulli­van
got the Stags rolling and they
never stopped. Kehoe was the main
sparkplug in the second half drive
and he received considerable aid
from Joe Miko, Moffett and Mar­kovic.
Others who starred in the
victory were Paul Frauenhofer.
Roget· Blaine, Joe Regensburger
and Sullivan.
Wednesday evening Fail·field Un­iversity
will seek its second straight
victory when It travels to Brooklyn
to oppose a strong Brooklyn Col·
lege quintet.
In a hotly contested preliminary
game the Fairfield Jayvees edged
the Orcutt Seniors. 48 to 46. Harry
Marmion topped the winners with
a 13-point total while Bob Packar
led the loser:;~ with 16 markers.

a highly successful season

over Arnold College and
As this writer stated several
weeks ago, the Fairfield Uni­versity
Track Team has come
through a tough schedule with
heads held high. The "win'' col­umn
over-balances t he "lost,"
and the whole team is to be con­gratulated
for its excellent
showing.
One of the most regular con­tributors
to the success of the
team this year, as in the two
preceeding years, was the team
Captain, Ed Conroy. This week,
Ed Conroy is the "Track Man
of the Week."
White Plains Tech. The two
victories boosted the track
team's season records to six
wins and three losses.
The Stags edged Arnold, 57-
56, in a close battle all the way,
and walloped White Plains 75lh
to 37Jh. The Terriers from Ar­nold
tried hard, but could not
muster enough push to beat the
Stags. Fairfield had no trouble
with Tech, walking away with
a victory.
Joe Miko and Ed Conroy, two
of the track team's most consist­ent
point getters this season,
led the point scorers in both
meets. Miko tallied 14 points
against Tech and 12 against the

formances are a good bit more L=~~- -~---­deserving
than a few hackneyed

that Captain Ed Conroy is one
of our best. Judge him by Jris
accomplishments.
On the personal side, Ed is 22,
married, in the class of 1951,
and is in the Social Science Divi­sion.
His quiet, extrovertial per­sonallty
is strikingly pleasant.
One of his noticeable qualities
is bis willingness to help his
fe llow team-mates and class­mates.
Ed is a credit to the school
which he represents. His sports­manship,
scholarship, and polite

To Ed Conroy we dedicate this
column, in the hope that in the
future he continues to eat no
one's dust.

New York Squad
joe Miko, Tom LoRicco and
Ed Conroy were the outstanding
competitors when Fairfield Uni­versity's
track team scored their
first victory of the season by a
76 to 42 margin against the
C.C.N.Y. Evening ,School Squad
on April 15th in New York city.
Miko took first in the high jump,
tied with teammate John Bigley
in the pole vault and helped on
another victory for the once de­feated
half mile relay team. Tom
LoRicco placed in five events,
taking a first place in the hun­
·dred with Ed Conroy hot on his
heels. Ed placed in four events,
winning the 220 as LoRicco
drove him on to a 23.5.
The C.C.N.Y. squad made its
best showing in the quarter mile
run, taking all three places. Fair­field
won an the points in the
discus and the javelin events,
Long and Krolikowski taking
first places respectively.
On April 8th at St. Peter's
College in J ersey City the Red
Stags were defeated 66 to 47,
while suffering from the absence
of a few of the expected lumin­aries.
However, the squad made
a splendid showing capturing the
220, the high jump, shot javelin
events. Again leading in points
were Miko and LoRicco who
scored 19 out of the 47.
Other Fairfielders who scored
points were: Ed Comoy, third in
the 100-yard dash and in the
broad jump; Ed Dowling, second
in the two mile run and third in
the 880; Joe Kehoe, second in
the high jump; Fogarty, second
in the 440; Giangrasso, third in
the shot put; Long, third in the
discus, and Ringrose, third in the
javelin.
Track's Who's Who
In choosing a track man Oi
the week, we come at last to f.
man who has been so lon~
neglected that I almost fee
ashamed of many people, to<
numerous to mention. Joe Miko
the best thing this school's trad
team has seen to date is thE
"Track Man of the Week," anc
as tar as I am concerned, he':
the track man of the month.
I have heard rumors to thE
effect that Joe has played bas·
ketball now for two years, dis·
liking it all the way. I don'·
have to go into a long disserta·
tion on school spirit to point ou1
to you what kind of spirit THA1
takes. On top of that, the is om
of the best basketball player!
we have.
But let's get back to track
Ever since Joe Miko has been
on the track team, he has regu­larly
compiled points which
have helped us to win many a
meet. His versatility is one of
the most talked--about wonders
among track-followers. His high
jumping has yet to be bettered
by anyone in this school. His
handiness at the pole-vault is a
result of the fact that he real­ized
we needed pole-vaulters in
a bad way. So :he took that up
as a side-line. Our h:llf mile re­lay
team is the pride of the track
team. Joe does his part in that
as if he were being chased by a
mad dog. Every once in a while
Joe decides to run a quarter. I
don't know how one man can
be good at so many things!
Last year Joe received a letter
for his running, and no one
earned one more fully.
I could go on and on telling
you all about Joe Miko. No
matter how much I say I can't
say enough. Joe has spirit
energy, plenty of talent, and lo
of guts. And I mean Guts'
wish we bad about a dozen
The next meet on the schedule
as announced by the Rev. Mr.
Leeber, S.J. will be with Bryant
College from Providence, R. I.
on April 22nd, here at Alumni Joe Mikos.
