The purpose of the forum is
to give a general enlightenment
to the Vietnam problem. An
opening statement and a short
discussion by each panel mem­ber
will be followed by a ses­sion
of open floor discussion.
The three members of the panel

as to the Vietnam war but are
open to all opinions and feel­ings.
The personal opinions of the
three members of the panel
will. however, be presented. Mr.
Petry hopes to explore and ex­plain
his opinion that the war
"is a mistake." Dr, Abott and
Mr. O'Conor will also gh'e di­vergent
opinions.
The following planned dis­cussions
in this serie~ will dis­cuss
any topic brought up by
either faculty or studcnt groups
on any international, political or
university problems. The s e
other discussions will be pre­sented
by several faculty mem­bers
from different depart­ments.
All students are cordially in­vited
to express their opinions

relates that, "the informal con­cert
on Saturday evening will
encourage more people from the
area to attend, putting the em­phasis
on a date night and re­sulting
in a more comfortable
setting for a more reasonable
price."
Deposits on package deals for
the weekend will be taken the
week before Christmas vaca­tion
begins.
Mr. Sheils has asked for
"more active student participa­tion
in the organization of this
weekend, in particular from the
freshman an sophomore class."
The chairman adds that, "help­ful
suggestions from students,
faculty, or otherwise could be
placed in Box P at the Campus
Center mailroom and would be
gratefully appreciated by the
various conunittees to make

course cause a drop in the num­ber
of manuscripts available.
To remedy this, two very enter­prising
students went out and
got several prominent people,
such as Martin D'Arcy and
John Stevens Wade, to submit
material to the magazine. Be­cause
of this, New Frontiers

tivities to the stUdents, but they
were still being paid for. With
the dropping of New Frontiers,
the students were neither in­formed
or consulted. Fr. Bonn
feels that while he does not
have the right to know why
the magazine Is no longer in
operation, the students do, and
sees this as a "financial in·
justice".
There seems to be some stress
on communication and expres­sion
here at Fairfield, and Fr.
Bonn agreed that we are en­deavoring
to present an image
as an "intellectual community."
New Frontiers may have been
a step in the right direction.
Its policy was to be a Uni­ven,
ity magazine, not just a
mC'fary one. The difference is
that it would publish material
from all departments. It has
carried several mathematics
studies. papers in the fields or
science, and so forth. When Fr.
Bonn was serving on a com­mittee
for Governor Ribicoff,

Despite the fact that no form­al
announcement has been made
by the administration. New
Frontiers, the University maga­zine,
is under suspension. Fa­ther
John L. Bonn, S.J., it's
moderator, was able to inter­pret
the publication's demise
when it was not found in the
Official Student Handbook's list
of Student Organizations and
Clubs at the beginning of the
year. Also. the office it formally
occupied was given over to
someone else, and Mr. Arthur
Riel, who assisted in overseeing
the magazine, was appointed to
head the Debating Society.
In an mterview with Fr.
Bonn il was learned that even
he. its moderator since its con­ception
in 1954, was baffled.
"I think it would have been
profitable to investigate the
history and policy of New Fron­tiers
before it was dissolved".
said Fr. Bonn. "but they could
not have since I'm the only
source and no one ever con­sulted
me". 'They' refers to a
conunittee of faculty members
who have been studying all stu­dent
publications. but it can not
be determined if this committee
had anything to do with the
mystcrious "passing on" of New
Frontiers.
Fr. Bonn finds himself in the
precarious position of standing
between two obligations. First
is the obligation his superiors
don't owe to him to inform him
of anything they do. Second is
the personal responsibility he
feels toward the stUdent, who
in his words, " have a right to
know the truth". The back­ground
to the entire situation
is interesting and worthy of
note.
When the Reverand Joseph D.
FitzGerald, S.J., was President
in the middle 1950's he did
away with the "student tax"
and incorporated the budgetary
costs needed to run student or·

Letters To The Editor

To the Editor;
AflC!r reading the Editorial pertaining
to the Student Government Legislalure.
we, as responsible members of the Legis­lature,
!eel it is our duty to commenl
on lhe Editorial o! lhe October 26th
issue of the STAG.
We find this article highly inaccurate.
For example, the editorial writer says il
took forty minutes to bring lhe flrsl
bill to the floor. but he fails to tell the
students that in this time. the attend­ance
was taken, minutes were read in
their entirety, and the agenda read in
its entirety, not to mention the fact
thal the new Legislators were sworn in.
Secondly, the committee system, con·
trary to the editor's viewpoint, has been
working with greater efficiency than
ever before.
As for the statement on bills appear·
ing on the agenda "that were never
cleared by their committee". we find the
editor lacking an understanding of the
committee system. All bills are thorough·
ly In\·estigated by the committee, but
the chairman of the committee has the
right to withdraw a biD from the agenda
'"pending further investigation:'
However, we do agree with the editor
that there was confusion al some meet­ings
and that it was due to a small
minority, but did he realize that the
newly-elected and unexperienced Legis­lators
were present at the last meeting
for the first time?
To date. lhis "crippled" Legislalure
hIlS handled thirty-seven bills in four
meetings, Is it crippled? Is it "'manacl­ing
lhe major means the student body
hIlS of corrl:!cting the numerous prob­lems?"
We heartily agree that the Student
Legislature docs need improvement, but
like fine wine, it improves with age.
And students, please do attend the
next meeting of the Student Legislature,
Sincerely,
Thomu Moylan '69

The final blow was the suspen­sion
of funds by the administra­tion,
and dropping Frontiers from
all official club listings. Yet no
one in the administration felt it
his duty to tell either the mod­erator
or the editors of this action.
This swift and silent falling of
the financial ax can hardly be
justified regardless of the maga­zine's
difficulties. Such action un­doubtedly
leaves open the sus­picion
in the minds of those run­ning
other organizations that they
could be next.
A committee on publications
has been set up by the adminis­tration
to study all University
publications. We hope that some
answers will be forthcoming on
exactly what the university needs
and can afford.
In the meantime, howe.er, we
urge that the funda of New Fron.
tien be reatored to them 10 they
can continue in their attempt to
fill the now gapins .oid that their
auapenaion h.. left. Further, we
urge that the adminiatration seri.

We urge the editors of Fron­tiers
to prove themselves by estab·
Iishing an efficient organization
that will meet student needs of
the university.
Finally, we urge the committee
on publications to proceed as rap­idly
as possible in establishing
some ideas of what are the uni­versity's
needs as to publications.

campus affairs, a man for whom
moderating an activity would be
a chore, a teacher seen only as
he puts in his nine hours of class­room

tantly, they ha.e encouraged the
student to think for himaelf, to
borrow from the wiadom of oth­en
rather than aubstitute other
minds for his own.
Jt is this second type of teacher
that should be the only member
of the Fairfield faculty. And it is
in men of this caliber that we see
an initiative this week that should
be universal among the faculty.
We refer to the VJetnam Dia­logue,
a fitting example of the
sort of activity that students and
the factulty can jointly profit
from. The continuation of such
extracurricular programs will
hopefully compliment classroom
exercise while at the same time
helping to fill a void present on
the Fairfield campus for too long
now. We also hope that teachers
who could greatly improve their
classroom activity will find inspi­ration
in the initiative of Fr. Rous­seau,
President of the campus
chapter of the American Associa­tion
of University Professors, and
others.
The Last
The problem of a poverty of
worthwhile activity on the Fair­field
campus is so diverse it can
be discussed but one segment at
a time. One area of the problem
as we see it is a lack of interest
and initiative on the part of the
spokesmen of our intellectual life,
the faculty.
While a catalogue study of
their credentials is impressive
enough to have convinced many
students to select Fairfield Uni­versity,
it can be as deceptive as
the above quotation. Both in the
external affairs of the campus and
in the classroom itself a disintrest
prevails that explains in part the
dearth of activity among the stu­dent
body. Leadership of the sort
that should encourage thought
and action in the student is not
forthcoming.
Those most guilty of this are
legend among the student body:
the proverbial mediocre profes­sor,
an educator content merely
with having his notes fed back,
disinterested in how the student
relates his course material to the
goals the catalogue would have
New Frontien has ceased. A
conflict of aims, organiz.ational
difficulties, and suspenSIOn of
funds by the administration have
converged upon the publication
and brought the long impending
crisis to a head. Blame for this
failure lies in all three of these
areas.
The conflict of aims has long
existed. FrontieR had been try­ing
to be a literary magazine, an
inter-departmental journal, a fo­rum
for aspiring student writers
and a scholarly journal for out­side
contributors. In its attempt
to fulfill all of these functions it
has suffered. The primary duty
of the magazine should be to the
student body, providing students
with a forum for their work. At
times in the past it has been al­most
totally composed of outside
contributors. If further funds
were available a scholarly journal'
of this sort would be a good op­tion.
However, students must be
considered first. Until a decision
on departmental publications is
reached, the magazine should rep­resent
all departments, not be an
exclusive literary magazine.
In the last two years publica­tion
has been sporadic at best.
Last year, conflict between the
editor and moderator greatly
weakened the organization. The
hasty publication of two issues at
the end of the year attested to the
lack of efficiency. Some of the
results, however, have been im­pressive,
and the effort was far
from a total loss.

November '. "46
"A Man for AU Seasons" is a play set in England and written
b)' an Englishman - and when it plays in the Fairfield University
Playhouse Nov. 18 and 19 it will have a delinite English accent.
Four oC the people involved in the Westport-Weston Com­munity
Theatre's fall production were bom in England and arc
relative newcomers to the United States and to thig area.
Robin Wilson, director oC the play, began his long association
with community theatre while on the staff of a London bank. The
bank-sponsored dramatic group, "The Old Stages," performed Cor
audiences in hospitals, prisons and other institutions. As an an·
nual partlcip..·mt in the Canterbury Cricket Festival, where dra­matic
groups were invited to entertain, Wilson's troupe was the
only amateur theatre organization to be regularly reviewed by the
London Times. Wilson was also a member of The Strolling Players
In London, and Wl\S in corrununity theatre for four years in
Nassau before coming to Westport with his family four years ago.
Ian Wilson, no relation to Robin, is also from the London
area. He plays the role of Sir Thomas More in the current p~
duction, Whlle a student at Oxford University he acted in a num­ber
of productions and developed a deep inte~t in the theatre
that has led to a long association ,,'ith dramatic groups. He was
active in the theatre society at the London chemical com~'
where he first worked, appearing in a nwnbcr of shows in a
theatre in London's famed Drury Lane, Since moving to Westport
in 1954 he has acted in and directed a number of W!\Ver pro­ductions,
and was formerly a chairman of the organization's board
of directors,
Mollie Oliver, originally from Lancashire. England, will play
the role of Lady Alice More in the current play, She has appeared
in "Separate Tables," "The Lady's Not for Burning," (directed
by Ian Wilson), and "The Diary of Anne Frank." She Is a former
member of the United Nations Secretariat.
Margaret Rumford Is playing a dual role In "A Man for All
Seasons." She is appearing in the play and is also rel>ponsihle for
costuming herself and the other 13 members of the cast, A
former resident of the London area, and now a resident of South­port,
she has acted In several local productions, including two at
Fairfield University,
In addition to the University perfonnances, the play is being

through financial support can
the "station be an everyday
thing and the pulse-beat of the

station should."
These questions must be put
to the admlnlstratlon for an­swering,
because the station's
chief means of support must
eventually come from the ad­ministration.

Hook, last Wednesday in
his Bellarmlne Lecture, was the
fact that in one's pursuit of free­dom,
he may usurp the freedom
of someone else.
Professor Hook, who spoke
on "Intelligence and Civil
Rights," was introduced by
Father J. Dennis Crowley as
"the only American philosopher
being read today."
Presently a professor of
Philosophy at New York Uni­versity,
Dr. Hook admits to be­ing
a pragmatist and a socialist
democrat. He believes the only
way to achieve true democracy
is through socialism.
Professor Hook l! "impressed
and surprised by the openness
of Catholic institutions to opin­ion
from different quarters of
the compass,"
He clarified his observation
by saying that the mere request
to speak may be an indirect
request for the limitation of an­other
person's freedom.
Professor Hook enwneraled
three points as his concept of
freedom:
1. If you define freedom as
"do what you please," no ra­tional
person can agree. We
have to curb theft, murder, etc.
2. U we want freedom, wc
suppress someone else's frC(!­dom.
3. The freedoms we approve

make peace, you may have to
make war; enforcing justice
may cause a riot; a free press

New Fl'onUen has been silently and swiftly "suspended." Our
one attempt at literature and creativity in this university has been
pushed aside. But why this was done or why it was necessary
was not laid open to us.
In some office on this campus, arrogant precedent is being
set. This can be secn in the attitude concerning the destruction of
New Jo'rontlers. The administration is developing an abstract au­thoritarianism.
I cannot sing the praises of the late New }'rontiert;. I am not
properly qualified in literary criticism for a true appreciation.
\'Vbat I am angered and lnlJuited o\'cr Is the ILUthorltarlan silence
being taken by our admlnJslratlon; a. lUctatorlll.l attitude which
must be o\'ercome b)' us now - before pflOOflde.nce Is so rooted
that nothing ,,"e do would be l\ble to re"erse It.
We have a great responsibilIty in this matter to both OUl'­selves
and to those who shall follow. We must fight this attitude
which accompanied the suspension of New Frontiers in the name
of education. If we accept this dictatorial action apathetically, we
shall find that we have gained from this educational institution
an apathy which shall be eventually our moral and political down­fall.
We must take active interest in all tllat affects us - for if
we do not fight this dicatorial attitude, we shall be cultivating a
weakness which is the lowest form of disinterest.
Our tradition of political and social responsibility should be
applied to this situation. In our society, we must be aware, and
Ihus, realize that to permit this authoritarianism to find deep
roots - we are threatened, for all of our organizations shall be
continually on the soft sand of the administration's will.

A Chip On My Shoulder
by StepMa M.. .Jadd
Two weeks ago, Mr. Clayton Gengras appeared on this campus
to put before the student body his qualifications tor Governor of
the Slate of Connecticut. Mr. Gengras, a Republican, is seeking
to unseat the Democratic incumbent, John Dempsey.
I bad the pleasure of meeting Mr. Dempsey and Mrs. Gengras
at the studios or WICC before a broadcast on the same evening
that Mr. Gengras spoke at Fairfleld. Aeecpting all means of com·
munications as a fonun to expose their political beliefs and opin­ions,
both Mr. Gengras and l\1r. I>M1psey have spoken extensively
across the state. And so, Mr. Gcngras came to speak at Fairfield
and our cupboard was bare.
We drove up from the studio on Post Road and stopped
across the road from Gonzaga Auditorium. Mr. Gengras was dis·
cussing the merits of catching a cup of coffee betore delivering
his talk when one of our security Officers ordered Mr. Gengras'
chauffeur to move his limousine into the Campus Center's parking
lot. It was explained to the olflcer that Mr. Gengras was a guest
of the University and a distinguished citizen of the state aspiring
for its highest olTice. He didn't carc. "Orders was orders:'
This is a small incident llnd I don't think Mr. Gcngras was
aware of the discourtesy that was being paid. It was, however,
symptomatic of a small and unintelligent point of view. When
guests are invited to this University, every courtesy should be
extended to them. Thorough preparations should be made so that
there is no affront - Intended or otherwise - to the guest. Dis·
cretion and common sense should be the rule of thumb in such
cases, but I am sure that If Governor Dempsey drove on campus
today and parked In front or Gonzaga Hall he would have his car
ticketed. "Orders was orders."
The floral plantings in the Campus Center have all the warmth
of sheUac. They are rare Indeed, for they haven't grown an inch

misses the mark.
Basically - and this Is some­thing
which the boarder men­tality
as reflected In the STAG
fails to take into account _
lhe whole system is stacked.
against the commuter. To take
the STAG's own two editorial
examples, circulars may not be
placed In maliboxes: is this the
fault of the day-hop? or is it
the system'!' The snack bar has
become an almost exclusively
commuter meeting place, but
let's put the shoe on the other
foot; the larger and more lux­urious
upstairs dining hali Is
reserved completely and ex­clusively
for the boarders-and
the concession of a feasibility
study on meal tickets for only
lunch will be meaningless
unless it Is vigorously pursued
by the boarder-orlented slu­dent
government_. Most com­muters
would be glad to eat at
real tables if the system .....ould
let them.
Other examples of the 5)'S­tern:
student government dis­cussions
center largely on mat­ters
of no interest to the com­muter
or the Unh-ersity as a
whole, matters best treated in
a separate boarder council; in­tramural
sports are organized
for the boarder, not the day_
hop; special events and extra­curricular
activities, e.g. the
drama recording series and stu­dent
government meetings, are
scheduled at times which make
it difficult, if not impossible, for
the commuter to attend (where
is he to eat supper while wait­ing
for a 7:30 meeting'!'); the
STAG represents and servtces
the in-group of the boarders
(0b6et'\''ll yOW' present editorial:
"why can't the comuters be
It1Ol'e like us?"); a day.bop who
has an hour between classes
now - and let's not talk about
last year - has the choice of
the underlurnished snack bar,
the hard chait'S of the Library,
the rug of the Campus Center
mezzanine, some hallway, or,
if he is lucky enough to be in­vited,
the room of some boarder.
This, and much more. Is the
system the commuter faces, a
system which not too subtly
suggests to the day-hops that
he Is a second-class citizen, all
unwanted and barely tolerated
nobody. And one wonders why
the commuter does not partici_
pate.
This need not be so. There
are many successful strongly
commuter colleges in this coun­try
with active and unified
student bodies. These schools
I'ecognl~e that there are con­siderably
greater dift'erences
between high school and college
than simply getting away from
home, and they concentrate on
these differences which both
commuter and boarder share.
If we would turn our attention
to the common Interests and op­portuniUes
of both day-hop and
boarder rather than erecting a
system of separation, perhaps
we too might achieve that uni­ned
student body all consider
necessary.
Some small suggestions as a
start: all special events and
meetings, especially those of
student government and the
editorial board of the STAG, to
be held at 3 p.m., and not in
the evening; provis.lon of lounge
facilities which would not only
satisfy the commuter, but also
attract boarders out of their
dorms and into the liCe of Ute
Uni,'enity; organization of the
student body for student gov_
ernment representation and in·
tramural sports along lines of
class sections, majors, or any_
thing other than Ute boarder­commuter
dlcbotom,y. A little
imagination can add numerous
ways whereby, \\'ithln the exist­ing
.fonn 6f the University.. we
can all ~wk to",-ards a unified
and Partldpating student body.
It Is strongly urged that Ute
STAG use such imagination.

Soccer Reply
To the Editor:
In answer to Mr. Guy DI­Nocenza's
Jetter to the STAG
regarding the recent SHU-Fair­field
soccer game I would first
like to say that it was grossly
exaggerated and raUter pomp­ously
written for a letter or
criticism.
U Mr. DlNocenza knew any_
thing at all about soccer he
would have realized that the
"glorious, golden, wind-swept
afternoon" of which be so elo­quently
speaks was not in the
least a "delightful" day for soc­eer.
For the truUt is that the
wind was much too strong for
any effective long range kicking
and it also greatly aided. the five
goals thal were scored
In regards to the game itself,
.Mr. DiNocenza's description
leads me to believe that he baa
seen very few soccer games. As
a player for seven years I can
well assure him that soccer is a
contact game - witness Pele's
demise in the World Cup com­petition.
I wouldn't call the
game dirty nor would I call
Fairfield the "blatant transgres­sor."
Organized murder did not
take place Mr. DlNocenza _
witnessed by the faet that
.Moore bad to leave the field
because of an injury.
The Stags did not resort to
massacre, rather they played a
rough, hard game (believe me
there were no karate chops
thrown). Nor were we "un­yoked
savages bent on the de­struction
of the enemy with the
most ruthless fury Imaginable."
Come now, Mr. DL"iocem:a, let's
be realistic. U this were the
truth wouldn't It have bem U'Ue
that at least one· of SHU's
players would have lett the
game in some way c:rippled ?
And if the playing was so dirty
and vicious and one-sided do you
not think that more of the SHU
players would have made some
sort of visible protest!
As to the referees, If you had
taken the time to noUce you
would have realized that there
were an inordinate number or
touls called - ON BOTH
TEAMS. Fouls do not neces­sarily
mean dirty play either,
Mr. DiNocenza: rather they arc
the result of agg-resslve play by
individuals who are not totally
adl'pt in the game's finer points.
I can assure you that the "over­aggressiveness"
ot one of the
Stag ballplayers was not out of
malice, but rather out ot desire.
As to the uncalled for use of
abusive language I will agree
with you. But I don't agree to
the claim you make that SHU's
players piously k e p t their
mouths shut! For I can clearly
recall one incident where some
offensive words were said by
an SHU player that could be
heard by spectators way across
the Beld.
In closing I'd llke to say that
I as a student and a player do
not like being reproved by an
individual who apparently knows
littie or nothing about what
went on in the game and little
or nothing about the gamt! itself.
Sincerely,

William& of Hauaton. Tex...
Unlike the majority of his opponents thus far, the
"Big Cat" from Houston should prov,ide a formidable
test for the flamboyant champ. Williams is undoubtedly
the heaviest hitter in the division and since the early
1950's has fought all the best in his long road to a
title shot.
Alwaya known for hi. ability to take a man out

under the tutelage of hia lateat owner and manager,
Tex.. millionaire Hugh Benbow. Now hi. attack con.
,iab of tracking down hia man and unloading lethal
combinationa, which have put maDy a maD Uto aleep."
The big problem for the challenger will be whether
01' not he can get close el10ugh to the elusive Clay to do
any real damage. The champ will undoubtedly try to
stay out of Williams' range and be content to pile up
enough points for a decision. Trading punches with the
stronger "Cat" would be foolhardy and Clay wouldn't
want to get his pretty face messed, up. .
. Physically, both men are superb specimens and COIJ­sidered
big heavyweights. Clay is the fastest· 6' 3" 210
pounds of Sugar Ray Robinson going while the slower
Williams' 6' 3" 215-pound frame is a classic example
of muscular architecture.
For Clay, this is his first fight since he dumped his
old group of Louisville trustees. He is now owned by
the Black Muslims and his trainer is none other than
former football great Jim Brown. Insiders have been
impressed with Brown's take-charge attitude and Clay
has been heeding Jim's advice concerning the funda­mentals
of defense and added weight to bolster his
punch. Brown himself was an outstanding boxer at
Syracuse and was olfel'cd fantastic sums to become a
p)·ofessional.
The fight ibelf abould be an exciting .one and will
most likely go the diatance. Williams could aurpri&e
everybody and level the champ but he will have to do
it in the early going before he runa out of ateam. It',
pretty aafe to aay that Clay will bide hia time. letting
hi, atron$t'er opponent get alug$t'iah and then waltzing
away with the deciaion. Prediction - Clay in 15

Here at Fairneld Coach George Bisacca, embark­ing
on his ninth season as Stag mentor, is busy prepping
his charges for their December 3rd opener at Niagara
University.
This Saturday the Stags travel to ..Madison Square
Garden where they will meet Manhattan College in a
closed scrimmage. Bisacca is expected to go with his
starting team of Art Kenny, Bill Jones, both Juniors,
and Seniors Bill Boyd, Bill Pritz and Charlie Phillips.
New additions to the varsity include frosh standout
Hick Sanabria and teammates Jim Dennis, Tom Crow­ley
and Bob Pavia.
Last Saturday the team engaged in the first of
several workouts in the New Haven Arena after the
opening game between the New Haven Elms and the
Hartford Capitals.
Former Fairfield .tar Mike Branch &Cored twenty
point. and aparked a fourth quarter rally that brought
the Elma from a twent~point deficit to their initial win.
Getting back to this year's team, they will again
be facing some of the toughest opposition in the East,
including Boston College, St. Joseph's, Providence, St.
Bonaventure, Georgetowll and Holy Cross. Fairfield's
fine 19-5 record of last year makes it the target of
every team it plays and the majority of these games
will be played away, adding to the difficulty of carving
out another such sllccessful season.

The thrill of their first victory, the shadow of another defeat, and appeasement with a tie

The C's spotted Harvard a

them on even terms for the rest
of the 4rst half. The second
half was a different story, as
Fairfield completely dominated
the action.
Kevin McTernan got the Stags
rolling toward their firSt score.
Taking a pltchout on the Har­vard
30, he bobbed and weaved
his way to the one before being
brought down. On the next play

were all out with injuries.
Added to this was the fact that
Fairfield had never beaten HBS
before.
The C's however quickly dis­pelled
any pessimism. Their
powerful ground game and hard
tackling completely outclassed
the Crimson. The B's kept up
the pace but had to settle for
a tie when two apparent scores
were called back. Following the
trend of the day, the A's jumped
into a quick 3-point lead. Har­vard,
however, took advantage
of a pair of breaks to push
across two scores and salvage
their single victory.
"AU Game
Fine runs by Jay Kirwin and
Mike GriJI'in moved the Stags
into scoring position early in
the A contest. A Harvard off·
side penalty in this drive set
the stage for Allard's kick. Boot·
ing against the wind and from
a difficult angle, "Big Frank"
split the uprights from 15 yards
out.
Penalties Costly
Harvard countered with two
rapid fire scores. The first caml!
on a 2O-yard run, the second
on a spectacular 3O-yard drop
kick. Both scores were set up
by penalties.
The rest of the game was a
see saw battle with both clubs
having several good opportuni­ties
to score. Fairfield relied on
hard tackling to thwart Har­vard's
scoring opportunities.
Harvard used their superior
size on lineouts to get out of
dangerous situations.
"B" Came
The B game matched Falr­field's
running against Harvard's
kicking. Both clubs had several
opportunities to score in the
first half. The second half saw
Fairfield take control. Fine runs
by Denny Neenan and Jack
Doyle and some hard tackling
by Richie Gordon and John But­ler
kept the ball constantly in
Harvard territory.

The Stags did show improve­ment
in their passing game.
Brian Burke hit on six of eleven
attempts for sixty yards, de­spite
the fact that his prime
targets, Kevin Sullivan and
"Bullet" Devanney, were absent
due to injuries. The running at­tack
also jelled in the second
hall.

For most of the afternoon the battle of the unvlctorious shaped up as a lackluster affair.
Hampered by brisk, cold winds and sloppy field conditions neither team was able to execute the
key play in crucial situations.
