William Dunn has resigned and

respect.
"Focus" doesn't appear often

have been conspicuously absent,
as has been Mr. Bocchini. A President

in handling student complaints.
Legislative Secretary (philip Howe
has also been conscientious and
is now engaged. with the committee
to rewrite the Student

Some of the problems in the
Government can be rectified.
Other new problems are sure to
arise. But in the existing framework
the Student Government of
Fairfield University is just too
large fo.r the number of students
willing to do the work. Many
people start out eager to perform
their duties but get bogged down
and disappointed with the inactivity
around them.
With elections two months
away, serious consideration must
be given to other forms of representation.
Fairfield needs a
government designed to cope
with the situation at Fairfield,
whether this be a Student-Faculty
Senate, Tri-Partite Body, or some
other form that has worked well
in another school.
Chances are slim that there
will ever be enough interested
and hard-working people to make
the existing Student Government
work well. Maybe we will be
surprised-and we hope so. But
most likely, eager students will
again become disenchanted when
they find that there are just not
enough eager students.

As second semester approaches
we are prompted to look at Student
Government, now in its fourth
year at Fairfield. With the problems
that have arisen in its structure
and with the consideration
of possible new forms of representation
we are not as interested
in criticizing as in questioning
the feasibility of Student Govenrment.
Inactivity and lack of pride on
the part of the President and Executive
Board point up a need
for more "politicians" in the government:
eager men, wanting to
communicate. with the students
they are working for.
Treasurer James Magenheimer
has worked conscientiously to
keep finances in line. Likewise,
Vice-President Tom Colucci has
worked hard, and in terms of
procedure, this is the best legislature
to date. As for the legislators
themselves there is virtually
no contact with constituents, especially
in the area of their
opinions on financial bills.
The Social Committee has been
particularly stagnant. "Social Saturdays"
seem to be a forgotten
promise. 'The net result of preelection
promises for numerous
social Saturdays has been one
attempt that collapsed and a
Christmas dance that fizzled.
The Activities Fee is a potential
benefit. But it is easy to lose
interest in the Student Government,
officers and students alike.
The actual collection of the fee
has been a major stumbling block
-even some members of the Government
have not paid. There is no
way a student can be made to
pay it. Collecting the fee as part
of tuition still seems to be the
most feasible method, eve n
though this channel has been
tried and has met with failure in
the past.
The Fee is not legally defensible
despite court decisions, and
these decisions have caused the
greatest decline in the image of
the Student Court. Chief Justice

the Be game, insulted him with the
chant of "the ref is Cousy's bookie."
Ward continued by saying that the BC
fans shouted the chant down with cries
of "... bush ... bush," and that Coach
Bisacca was forced to apologize to
Cousy after the game for the behavior
of the Fairfield undergrads.
Though some of the referee's decisions
might indeed have been horrendous,
this did not give the Fairfield spectators
license tQ behave in a tasteless, "bush"
manner that would provide a columnist
in the nation's most widely circulated
newspaper. with an opportunity to paint
a tarnished picture of what Fairfield
represents. Perhaps someday Fairfield
students will realize that when any
number of them leave the campus they
represent Fairfield in the eyes of others
and should act accordingly. I find it incredible
that a student body that can be
so o:.ltspoken in its criticism of a "paternalistic"
faculty can so consistently show
itself to be deserving of nothing better.

The Tripartite Body would
provide a formal framework for
all three facets of the University
to present their opinions, discuss
all proposals and suggest possible
solutions. Each of the three
groups has an interest in the future

The joint policy statement on

Forum on Student-Administration
Relations, the STAG feels
that the rE!cently proposed Tripartite
Body should be seriously
considered. The advantages of
communication and participation
are obvious, and the pitfalls apparent
at the forum can be avoided.
A prime example of obstacles
that must be removed was the
discussion of dress regulations.
It is not our intent to discuss in
this editorial the pros and cons
of the present dress regulations,
but it is important to note that
all positions expressed were obscured
by rhetoric, misconceptions,
and dogmatism. Not only
did the students and administration
fail to present any enlightening
solutions, but there was no
attempt to provide the views of
the faculty.

began, a student's car has been

made a specific plea for lights in
this area, the fault now rests
heavily with the gross negligence
of the Administration. By refusing

Individual - Freedom Stressed for New Constitution
By COLIN KILEY
The formation of a Constitutional
Commission to draft
a new Student Government
Constitution has met with considerable
progress since its
creation last November with
the intent "to gain more rights
for t he individual and mOre
freedom to operate an efficient
Student Government." According
to Philip Howe, Committee
Chairman, nothing has as yet
been officially recorded, but
should be in the near future.
Four committees of the Constitutional
Commission work on
the legislative, judicial, executive,
and miscellaneous aspects
of the constitution. It was the
consensus of these committees
3S well as Mr. Howe's "that no
concrete information could be
given out to the public at this
time because it might -be mis-taken
for official documentation.
The Constitution is not
official until voted on by the
students and approved by the
administration."
More Liberal
Mr. Howe ntated that the
"new constitution would be nothing
like the old, being shorter,
far more liberal and more
powerful. If the student government
is to be anything, it must
have more power..The present
constitution is an abomination.
The administration doesn't want
to give power. I think that
what we want is reasonable in
that it concerns the day to day
welfare of the students and
eliminates the idea of a work
plant." The Legislature Secretary
expressed the desire to
discuss on a fair basis with the
administration since "we are
the governed." He stated in con-elusion
that "some regulations
are just too domineering and
paternalistic." When ask e d
when he expects the new constitution
to be completed, Mr.
Howe replied that it should be
done on or before March 15,
everything approved by the
administration and in effect
when electing a new government.
Legislative Draft
However, the Legislative
Committee headed by James
Reme has finished its draft of
the article on legislative powers
and it has been approved by
the members of the Legislative
Committee. There have been
several significant changes in
the proposed draft from the old
constitution. Several of the suggested
changes include the following:
"No person shall be a sena.-
tor who shaD not be a. member

of Fairfield University

Bridgeport shows a marked
change in this perception.
The study by the University's
business bureau was conduted
under Title I of the Higher Educations
Act of 1965 by Mr.
Robert O'Neil, then assistant
-professor of industrial management
at the University. Mr.
O'Neil has sinoo become a vicepresident
of Branson industries
in Stamford.
Study Sample
The study sample was derived
1:iy "four knowledgeable"
personalities who voted on a
previously chosen list of 102
"influential people in the
Bridgeport area. The names
checked most frequently were
those selected to be interviewed.
The final sample size was 25.
Of these, 12 are business lead-.
ers, one is a labor leader, four
are in the field of education,
five are lawyers or doctors, and
three are in social service work
or religion.
Other major findings of the
study, reported survey officials,
included one stating that the
majority of the respondents
said local communities perceive
a national company's headquarters
in its town as "not
being very interested."
Detrimental Effect
The interviewees said, "the
past decade's high number of
acquisitions and mergers in the
busines world is a trend which
has had a detrimental effect on
the area's progress. There is a
loss of involvement and concern
for local issues when a national
company absorbs a local one."

Administration to Identify the

~r1dgeport named Rev. William
C. Mcinnes, President, along
with Bishop Walter Curtis as
the fourth most influential
leaders in the area. Other re·
suits put Mayor Hugh C. Curran
at the top of the list.
Local Influence
The study also revealed that
political and educational institutions,
such as the city government
and universities, have
made marked inroads into the
traditionally strong domain of
influence held by business organizations
in urban centers.
National corporation personnel
are seen, for the most part,
as lacking in local influence
even though they are represented
on a number of committees
throughtout the city.
These findings, along with
the organizational shift from
business leadership, shows significant
differences from the
results of the similar, nowfamous
1953 urban study done
in Atlanta,_ Georgia, according
to Fairlield sociologist Mr.
Harry Fishman.
Marked Change
The sociologist pointed out
that Floyd Hunter's Atlanta
study showed that business organizations
and local officials of
national corporations were perceived
as the most influential
elements in urban communities
at that time. But 14 years
later, stated Mr. Fishman, the

Anyone wishing to suggest
students is bound to assure at
least minimal health standards.
This is a basic 'duty of the university,
and that this situation
should continue for this length
of time reveals a basic inability
of the structure to cope with
the problem.
It strikes' our fancy that a
university which prohibits certain
room decorations, and acts
so quickly upon the breaking
of these rules, acts so slowly
when breach of contract with
the student occurs. Perhaps if
the administration concerned
itself more with the students
than the university, both the
students and the university
would benefit.

Comparative Religion, Black
Power, and a four-part seminar
dealing with the contemporary
American political scene, including
LBJ, Right and Left in
America, the New Left and

of the situation, the nurse informed
the proper university
authorities, and told them the
three students were not to sleep
in their rooms until it had been
thoroughly fumegated and the
disease-carrying bedbugs exterminated.
This fumegation
was promised the next day.
The students were inconvenienced
by having to move to another
dormitory for the night.
However, the rapidly-reproductive
bedbug did not confine
itself to the room of the three
students. Within one day's time,
another room on the same corridor,
felt the wrath of the
"almighty bedbug." Three days
passed before any action was
taken. We feel that this situation
is hygenically harmful to
the student involved, and to
other students on the corridor.

minor. We feel that a university

Christmas and lunar new year holidays.
For the first time in quite a
while, the campus radio station
has taken an editorial policy.
Its statement, read over the air
earlier this week, is as follows:
The actions of the administration
in dealing in matters of
urgency have often been criticized.
We of the Executive
Board of WVOF Radio can, at
times, see a slight justification.
However, the instance to which
we now refer shows no justification
on the part of the administration
for their turtle-like
pace in order to take steps to
correct a matter of grave urgency.
On Wednesday, January 3,
three students living in a one

must face the inevitable. Sexten
is a soldier who never had
the desire to be one; he is too
sensitive. He is a dilettante and
a dreamer, with many interests
but no passions outside of Elvira.
· When the situation becomes
desperate he is dismayed
and disabled while Elvira is resigned
and competent. There is
in no sense, however, a division
between them; they are deeply
in love every moment we see
them and are defeated because
of external pressures.
The 19th century background
is excellently used to enhance
the essential simplicity of the
story without giving the impression
of a period piece which
would be anachronistic ina
later era. Due to the near perfect
exposition, especially regarding
dialogue, movement,
and pauses, the versatility and
impact of "Elvira Madigan"
never suffers. A piece of music
from Mozart is used continuously
to underscore the main
emotional theme of lilting tenderness.
This provides a perfect
polish to an already superior
creation.
The beauty of the color
camera work is matched only by
that of Elvira Madigan herself.
It is this last in the final an- .
alysis that makes the film credible.
Sexten naturally is hopeless
Iy in love with her; but so
is every man in the unromantic,
computer age, 20th century audience.
When warned by a good
friend that: lying close to the
ground, one blade of grass
seems to be the whole world,
Sexten answers: without that
one blade however, nothing else
is important. The fact is that
no one of any age would hesitate
to sacrifice everything for
Elvira Madigan.

'70 made one of the few comments
that stirred the crowd
of a little more than 100 by
saying "We have a bitter student

claimed Mr. Griffin.
Questions from the floor followed.
Replying to a question
concerning dress regulations
Fr. McInnes said that most of
the dress on campus is "imitative
of what it is on other campuses.
There's nothing original."
Mr. Griffin added that a
change in dress regulations

not want it recognized as an

It was pointed out that the
Bill of Rights could be a Fairfield
innovation since there is
no record of other schools having
one in the student government
files.
The goal of the Bill as stated
by Mr. Defronzo "is to destroy
what many people consider
childish restraints. The administration
should not be able to
legislate our morality. What our
conduct should be must be decided
by the individual himself."

"I wanted a job where I could stand out and move ahead
fast," says IBM's Bill Sherrard. (Bill graduated with a B.S.
in Math in 1965.) "And I sensed there was a better chance to
do that with IBM than with the other companies I interviewed.
"I got a desk full of responsibility right after I started.
This gave me the chance to show what I could do. And if you
deliver, age doesn't hold you back." (Bill is a Programming
Department Manager, supervising 13 systems analysts and
programmers.)
5,000 more managers
"One thing that's helped me is the fantastic growth rate of the
whole information processing industry. You can get an idea of
what this growth means by looking at IBM's need for managers.
There are over 5,000 more managers today than there were four
years ago. And they need more every day, so there's plenty of
room for growth.
"IBM also offers terrific opportunities for educational growth.
One plant and laboratory program even pays all tuition and

The performance of . this
year's squad has been as disappointing
to Bill as it has been
to fans. He expresses confidence
that the team is capable of
better results and states that
he looks forward to such upcoming
match,"s as Dayton and
Houston, where the Stags have
nothing to lose and everything
to gain.
Jones is an amazingly relaxed
person, never appearing
to be disheartened and always
seems loose and poised, even
when the chips are down, a
trait which can prove invaluable
in keeping this· young
team together. An economics
major, Bill states that he would
like nothing better than to continue
playing basketball next
year in the pros, saying that
he would hate to have his career
summed up as "three years
and that was it." It's obvious,
the man loves basketball, and
those who've grown to love
seeing him play won't soon forget
him.

J ones' performance against Villanova,
where he rallied his
team from an eight point deficit
to a one point win at the buzzer.
Bill's finest game career-wise
was probably last year's stunning
88-68 rout of St. Joe's
when he was credited with
dual game leader in total points.
American U. continued to
trade scores with Fairfield but
fouls spelled the ruin for the
Stags as AU slowly pulled away

the game. Art Beatty scored

THE STAG
Stags
faltered and took a slim 30-28
lead into the locker room.
At the thirteen minute mark
of the third quarter, Boston
began edging away from the
Stags. Steve Adleman hit on
several shots after Fairfield failed
to score, and the Stags were
frustrated in attempting to narrow
the four and five point margin.
With nine minutes remaining,
Boston began a surge that
lasted two minutes during
which time the Stags could not
score. This brought the Eagles'
margin to eleven points and
took the game out of reach as
Fairfield ran into foul trouble.
The Stags were not able to
combat the 27 point effort of
Adleman and the strong defensive
effort of Terry Driscoll.
By ROBERT SILLERY
Fairfield's basketball. tradition
is young, but it is already
rich. Mention a name like
Branch, Brown or Phillips and
you have tapped a treasury of
gratifying memories for any
Stag fan. But the name that
best sums up what Fairfield
basketball means is Bill Jones,
this year's captain.
Bill Jones is many things to
Fairfield fans. One pictures the
tall lanky senior with the incredible
snake-like arms swooping
up to pluck a rebound from
a taller, huskier opponent.
They think of Billy Jones dunking
one backwards to the cheers
of a thundering throng in the
Stag gym. They recall Jones
staring down an opponent with
that tight, pearly smile and
baleful" point-blank glare that
one knows must be working
some kind of voodoo. They
think of the amazing behindthe-
back and under-the-Iegs
passes bringing gasps from the
stands during the warmup
drills. They remember the versatility
that has enabled Jones
to play forward, guard and
center, and play them well.
Jones has seen the Stags hit
both. the high and low spots
which are inevitable for a team
which has climbed as far and
as fast as Fairfield. Throughout
the pulse·stopping victories and
the heart·breaking defeats, the
man who has been the heart
and the soul of the Stag team
is Bill Jones.
Easily J ones' finest game
this year was the 65-63 win
over Holy Cross, a victory the
Stags needed badly. With the
Crusaders on top by five late
in the second half, the slender
senior cashed in on six straight
more than the Stags, and won
by that same margin 83-72.
The Stags led at half-time
35-30, but at the opening of
the second half quickly lost
that lead when American U.
scored eight !'traight points.

game to beat Fairfield, 96-76.
Fairfield kept up with BC for
the first half, scoring on fast
breaks as well as on jump
shots, but the Eagles never
could not stop Georgetown from
scoring at the crucial times
when their lead was dwindling.
High scorers for the Stags
were Bill Jones with 16 points
and Frank Magaletta who totaled
20.

would have to be set up so that
no abuse of the general statements
would be made _by the
people implementing them.
Robert Ruddock, Chairman
of the Grievance Committee,
speaking for the Student Government
stated: "The opinion
of students has been made clear
to the administration; this is
consistent with Mr. Griffin's
statements on general rules for
student responsibility at a cer·
tain time and place. The Student
Government feels that the
students can show their good
will in this area by exhibiting
that they can dress neatly during
the upcoming exam period
when dress will be informal.
This is a time for observation
on the part of the administration,
and a time for the students
to prove themselves. The Student
Government feels that
there is a natural break in the
year at the beginning of the
second semester, and that this
would be an excellent time for
such a dress change."
To clarify the results of the
poll which he conducted, Mr.
Ruddock said: "Considering
that the students have been
polled three times in this area
(by the Student Action Movement,
by representative Mariani,
and by the Grievance Committee)
the overall results have
always been in favor of the
change. I would prefer not to
rest any case on the polls, but
rather on the vote of the student
legislature which was
overwhelming in favor of the
proposed dress change. The poll
conducted by my committee
was never 5ntended to supercede
this vote.';
The feeling of the students
concerning t.he present dress
regulations has. been clearly
shown. It is now up to the ad·
ministration to either take it
into consideration or ignore it.

then remain the same for the
entire year, with any changes
taking place at the beginning
of the next year." "I don't like
to have fast changes, when you
make a change you don't say
yes or no, you must discuss it,"
he stated further. "I would like
to stress, however, that just because
no change may be made
thi~; year that the efforts of the
Student Government have not
been forgotten. Last year there
was great 'liscussion over the
existing rules for having visitors
in the dorms. I didn't take
any action at that time, but I
kept the student opinion in mind
and a change was made over
the summer that exceeded student
requests in this area. Students
should be aware that
their concern has not been
ignored. The purpose and the
objective of wearing a jacket
and tie to dinner should be understood
by all the students.
The purpose is to develop respect
for yourself and respect
for others."
When questioned about the
overwhelming results of the
poll conducted by the Student
Government in the area of stu·
dent dress, Mr. Griffin stated:
"The poll doesn't seem that con·
clusive to me because only one
half of the boarding students·
participated ~n it. I don't know
why such a large number failed
to respond to the poll, but they
didn't."
Mr. Griffin went on to say
that he favored a major revamping
of the handbook with
general statements rather than
clear cut rules. He likened it too

night stick-it would be there
for him to use if necessary. He
admitted that some means
Fairfield traveled to Washington,
D.C. over the Christmas
holiday for a mini-tournament
which scheduled the Stags to
face Georgetown and American
Universities on two successive
nights. A double loss was in
store for Fairfield who had
come from two straight wins
the previous week.
Against Georgetown the Stags
faced a well drilled, fas\ ~oving
offense that could not be
matched. The final score was
78-61.
The game was decided in
the first half when Georgetown,
working the ball underneath
and shooting a deadly 58%
took a 44-27 lead over Fairfield,
who in turn shot 26%,
a figure that would repea.t itself
again versus Fordham.

There is a small, diseased group of students at Fairfield who
are threatening to contaminate the greater portion of the student
body, and whose irresponsible actions have already been of sufficient
gravity to taint the ideal that Fairfield stands for a& a
Christian academic community.
Like any disease which inhabits a body, its presence, no
matter how small, is ugly and harmful enough to damage the
healthier parts with diabolical effects.
The specific sickness being refered to is a social attitude
that has manifested itself in the form of a warped idea of sportsmanship
and fair play. It is. eating away at a basketball team of
stature enought to compete against the best in the country in major
basketball centers throughout the East.
Bluntly speaking, Fairfield fans are being largely represented
by a hard core group of losers; losers because they don't know
how to lose graciously. Rather than. acting like sportsmen and
exemplifying a spirit of pride in Fairfield, they have proved themselves
to be a clot of uncharitable selftsts.
The years that I have spent as a dedicated follower of Fairfield
basketball have been marred by a spotted history of incidents
indicative of the most fickle sense of loyalty. Two years ago N.I.T.
fever was used as an excuse for fans who viewed silently the defeat
of a team which was riding a thirteen game winning streak the
booing of Coach George Bisacca in the midst of Fairfield's gre~test
court achievements, and a shower of vulgarity and name calling
in a loss to Providence.
Last year team support alternated between minimal backing
on the road because the team was losing and unsportsmanlike
conduct at the Boston College, St. Peter's and St. Francis games.
This year this "dedicated" group of Stags have finally made
their mark. After tasting defeat at St. Peter's, during which they
were noticeably quiet in the second half, they traveled in mass
to Boston College, hungry for the upset victory. Their reaction
to impending defeat was· taken note of by syndicated columnist
Gene Ward in the Dec. 24th New York Sunday News. Ward
wrote about the illustrious career of former NBA immortal and
now RC. Coach Bob'Cousy, telling how he was cleared of alleged
connections with gangsters with the loyal support of fans across
the country. Then came his sad commentary on Fairfield:
"But for all the support, the votes of confidence from Boston
College and his various other connections, Bob Couay was a shg..ken
man. What was written in that one article sOO comes back to
haunt him as It did one night last week when his Eagles were
playing Fairfield U.
It was a close game through the early stages, then the
Eagles began to pull away with the Be student body chanting:
"We're No.1 ••. We're No.1." The visiting cheering section
began to concentrate on the referee after a couple of calls had
gone the way of the Eagles, and they began to chant: "The ref Is
Cousy's bookie . . . The ref Is Cousy's bookie."
Only a couple of chorWles were audible to the throng before
the members of the Eagles' Courtside Club, consisting of 1,5'75
ardent undergraduate basketball buffs, shouted them down with
cries of "Bush . • . Bush . . . Bush."
CROWD NOISES NEVER BOTHER HIM
But Bob Cousy was oblivious to the incident. "I never was
aware of the actions of the crowd as a player," he sald, "and It
stUl holds true as a coach."
It wasn't until the Fairfield coach came to the dressing room
and apoligized for the behavior of h1IJ school's undergraduates
that Bob knew anything had happened."
Merry Christmas fans.
As if this wasn't enough, these "children" went to work on
their lesson by ringing in the New Year at the Fordham game last
week. There the elite greeted the officials every move with cat
calls and heaped insults on Fordham Athletic Director and Coach
John Bach at every turn. Fairfield couldn't get into Madison
Square Garden now if it won every game by fifty points. Good
work "men." At least you're loyal. I can hear you at every game.
Isn't is about time that a stop be put to this selfish "What
can Fair,field do for me" attitude? It's easy to be brave, courteous,
cheerful and kind when you're a winner, but lasing takes more
character. Anyone who doesn't love our team because it is ours
win or lose, doesn't belong in the cheering section. St. Joseph's of
Philadelphia isn't having the kind of season it has enjoyed over
the past decade, but their spirit remains undaunted. Why can't
Fairfield do the same?
Those who really love our school and its team owe it to
themselves not to allow such mass immaturity any longer. Those
who think that their two dollar ticket gives them the freedom to
shout libel (as they did at B.C.) must be dealt with by a friend,
someone who is willing to show them how ridiculous they really
are.
A basketball team can be beaten by more than referees or
an opposing team. A team that stands alone in defeat is taking
more punishment than any opposition can dole Ollt. We have a good
team; men who are putting out in both victory and defeat. Their
stunning upset of Villanova and inspiried victory over Holy Cross
is proof that they can accept defeat in stride. Let's give them the
support they deserve and need ALL the time.
True loyalty is an intangible and priceless asset.

Four hundred41fty spectators
turned out for the first annual
Judo-Karate demonstration on
December 13 at the Fairfield
Gym. The various techniq~es of
Judo and Karate were displayed
by an array of performers.
Before the demonstration, Dr.
Tong of the Philosophy Department
spoke on the relationship
between the two oriental arts
and Philosophy. Fr. Devine,
club moderator, then explained
some of the basic techniques
of Judo and Karate.
The Judo exhibition took
place first and included example
throws, hold downs,
choking and strangling techniques,
free style sparring, and
practical defense. The free style
sparring was an application of
the first three events. Defense
was displayed versus throws,
holds, and weapons.
The Karate demonstration in·
cluded example techniques, offensive
and defensive techniques,
free style sparring,
weapons defense, and board
breaking. In the sparring, the
higher belts won in each
case. Black belt John Gagnon
easily defeated 3 green belts
and two white belts at once.
The apex of the demonstration
was the arrow defense.
Gagnon dodged and blocked
arrows shot directly at him.
The last event was the board
breaking contest between green
belt .Bob Koosa and Gagnon.
Gagnon attempted to break 8
boards. Instead, however, he
accomplished the rarer feat of
Chi. While failing to break the
top board, he broke boards 2
and 3.
In all it was an excellent
demonstration of both Judo and
Karate. Wide aspects of each
art Wllre displayed.

In the Fordham contest, Ram

unable to cope with the outside

After ripping off three consecutive
opening victories, the
Fairfield frosh have found the
going somewhat tougher recently,
dropping decisions by bilt

B. C. Game
The B.C. frosh handed the
baby Stags their first setback
as 6'7" center Frank Fitzgerald
poured in 30 points in
the Eagles' 89-74 win. The
game followed the pattern of the
varsity match as the frosh

half. B.C. gradually wore down

At the close of the third
quarter Holy Cross took a six
point lead when Fairfield failed
to score over a period of four
minutes. The cold streak ended
when Larry Cirina stole the ball
from Crusader's Chuck Mullane
and drove the length of the
court for a lay-up. This made
the score 54-50 with the Cross
in the lead, but the momentum
clearly changed as the Stags
began to press, a manuever that
caused the Crusaders to loose
the ball eleven times in the
second half. Led by the ball
handling of Sammy King, the
Stags came back and took a
one point lead 58-57 with five
minutes remaining in the game.
After a time out Frank Magaletta
blocked a shot by the
Crusaders and Bill Jones scored
on the ensuing play to put the
Stags three points ahead with

The Fairfield Stags finally
put their crumbling game together
against Holy Cross Saturday
night in the New Haven
Arena to whip the Crusaders,
65-63. The Stag ball-hawking
defense coupled with the most
impressive offensive hustle this
season captured the victory in
the closing minutes of play.
Crenshaw Hot
The first half lead continually
changed hands as both teams
were hot from the floor. Sol
Crenshaw scored from every
angle for the Stags, hitting 10
points before the half ended.
Bill Jones, also finding the range
scored 9 points, while Ed Siudut
tallied 13 points for Holy Cross.
The Crusaders wound up on
top at halftime 40-37, but the
best of the action was yet to
proficiency, scoring a total of
19 points. Fordham's shooting
was aided by Bill Langheld,
who came on strong, scoring
eight points in the last five
minutes of play.
Neither team had more than
a three or four point lead
throughout the second half, until
Fordham began to freeze the
ball with two and a half minutes
to go and leading by two points.
The Rams SUddenly passed
underneath to Langheld for a
quick bucket which proved to
be the winning score, as the
Stags could manage just ten
points in the fourth quarter.

less shots from the floor than
the Stags, and scored eight
points from the foul line compared
