In 1927 the publishing house of
Sheed and Ward was founded
by Mr. Sheed and his wife, the
well-known writer, Masie Ward,
in London. A New York office
was opened in 1933. Their aim
was to provide a medium of expression
for the whole Catholic
world, and they have done this
in an admirable manner. In spite
of the depression and the Nazi
blitz of London they continued
operations through the years.

School Spirit? We Have It!
Most Juniors and Seniors will remember the early
days at Fairfield when THE STAG was in its infancy.
Most will recall how the editors emphasized the lack
of school spirit at Fairfield, and urged the student body
to do something about it. The editors felt that this
apparent lack of spirit would be realized and missed
after graduation, and thus carried on an extensive campaign
in the attempt to instill the germ of school spirit
in the student body. Some thought we were too ex- A recent release by the Cathtensive

Coach Jim Hanrahan Maps Out His Strategy Which Led The STAGS To A 15-10 Record In His First Year At Fairfield
Addition To
Physics And
Math Dept.
The Dean of Fairfield Univerof
sity announced the appointment
of the Reverend Charles M.
Crowley to the Department of
Physics and Mathematics. Father
Crowley, a native of Dorchester,
Massachusetts, entered
the Society of Jesus immediately
after the termination of
his high school education. After
completing his course in philosophy,
Father Crowley joined the
staff of Boston College where he
taught physics for three years.
Returning to Weston College, he
pursued his theological studies
and in June, 1948 was ordained
a priest. One year later Father
Crowley enrolled in the University
of Detroit and received his
Master of Science degree last
February 6.
Father Crowley's most prevalent
interest at Fail'field University
is to instill i.n his students
the desire to learn ~nd to enjoy
learning. Unfodunately, 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.

Look! the ball is rolling freely
Down the court; time's almost
out!
Markovic then grabs it, shoots
it-
Swish; "We've won!" Just
hear them shout!
Bridgeport leading by one point
now,
Sixty seconds and tis done!
Fairfield rooters "going crazy";
D.B. feeling sure they'd won.
Fairfield rooters swarm the court
There's a scramble on the floor
now,
Jack Mullady in the fray;
Seconds fly with speed
comets,
What a game we've seen
day!
now,
Overjoyed with victory won;
And the mob, the team, the
coach - all,
And hail Markovic "Fairfield's
son!"
Now they're jumping o'er the
players,
Hugging them in sheer delight,
Shouts of victor are all blended
in
The chant. "We won the
fight!"
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.
"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!"
Every set-shot like a rainbow
Forms an arc of purple bold,
And to compliment its master,
Each sphere finds its pot of
gold.
Oh! The heckling followed
swiftly
And as U.B. racked up twice,
From the outraged crowd of
Fairfield
Voices chanted, "Two Blind
mice!"
Oh! our boys are doing nicely,
See? They're passing very
well.
Until Gabriel blows his trumpet
And with gusty voice he yells:
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,
All start clicking with the
ball.
Two men jumCJ 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-time was approaching
Closer, closer all the while.
Oh, the tally at the high-mark
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.
Men of Fairfield, gather 'round I No denying we want this one;
me It's the last game of the year.
There's ~ story to be told INow the crowd around me
Of our str~ng and stubborn quiets,
warnors,. And the game gets under way
Who dIsplayed theIr 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 our 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.
Sobn the battle was upon us
In that renowned Armory
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 affair.
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

Professor Keefe urged that if
it is possible a law student
should not be involved in outside
employment. But if 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).

Addresses Students
Office Of
The Director Of Athletics
Dear Students:
The basketball season has officially
ended here at Fairfield
University. "Thanks be to the
Lord," say 1. All things considered,
it was a very successful
season, but a bit on the hectic
and unpredictable side.
Before wrapping the team and
equipment in moth balls for
another year, I would like to
add a short post script to the
season's record. The record, by
the way, speaks for itself. Fifteen
wins, ten losses and a Tournament
bid constitutes a very
creditable showing for a school
as young as our using only bona
fide students on its team.

I would like to take this opportunity
to pay tribute to all
those who were responsible for
this splendid achievement.
To begin 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 is only as good as his
material." Jim took young, raw,
inexperienced 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. M'ay he
always remain with us and may
he always put forth teams of the
calibre of '50-'51.
.Next in line for accolades,
comes the team. Very shortly,
we shall present gold basketball
awards to each member of
the Varsity team. No team has
11=====:11 ever deserved them more. These
fine young students worked hard
day in and day out over the
course of many months in order
that Fairfield University might
be represented on the court by
a team capable of holding its
own with the very best. That
all the hard work and sacrifice
were not in vain-the season's
record bears eloquent testimony.
These men deserve their awards,
their glory and much more. To
those who will shortly depart
from our midst, the,.very best
of good fortune. May your future
endeavors all be undertaken
. with the same fine spirt which
you have displayed here at Fairfield.
To those who are, with
the help of God's grace and
. Uncle Sam's mercy, to remain
with us for the years to comeI
can only"say-carry on the
tradition, so nobly begun. With
you, FairfieW~~}~ture is bright.
Next I wOUld like to pay
tribute' to all those anonymous'

Off to a fast start in the second
half, an "on-form" Joe
Kehoe let go to score five points
to put the "Men in Red" in the
lead once again, this time for
the balance of the contest.
Of perhaps major import is
the fact that during the game a
STAG record was broken. Bobby
Markovic, whose right a l' m
seemed to be working wonders
for the team, wound up in top
position for the day with 28
points, breaking a team record
of 26 markers made previously
by Stan Suchenski.
Playing a brilliant game from
the floor, Kehoe was also there
for a good deal of support along
the lines of scoring rounding off
the game with an 18 point total.
Paul Frauenhofer, who plays a
consistently good floor game,
swished 11 points through the
cords to take up third position
in the scoring column.
Bill Samuelson was high on
deck for the opposition and
cored 15 points putting him in
top rank, while Gene Karpinki
played number two teacher
for the day with a game total of
12 points.

Stags Close Season With
Win Over NHST, Knights
By HARLEY BLACK
Fairfield's Red Stags closed the regular basketball
season with a pair of wins over Nutmeg state schools
to wind up with a record of 15 wins and 10 losses.
The Stags beat New Haven State Tea'chers College,
70-60, at the Goffe Street Armory, New Haven, and
closed the season in a thrilling 53-52 victory battle
against their neighboring rivals, Bridgeport University,
at the State Armory in Bridgeport.

The hooping and scoring of
Seaman and Labash failed to
take its toll as the STAGS came
from behind with a brilliant display
of cool ball playing in the
clinches as, bit by bit, they
chopped away at that seven
point deficit at the two minute
mark.
With a right-handed push
shot, Bobby Markovic tied up
the score at 51-all. In the excitement
which followed, Jack
Mullady was charged with a
technical foul for what the officials
claimed to be an attempt
to delay the contest. Dick Labash
took the free throw for the
opposition and made it count.

In the final seconds of the
game,' U.B. took the ball out at
center court but failed to retain
possession as Markovic scooped
up the sphere from a scramble
and let it drop through the
cords for a Fairfield victory.
It was the second time this
season that the "Men in Red"
defeated the "Park-siders," and
this time, as we all know, it
must really have hurt them. We
can, however, congratulate them
for being good sports . . . and
we can congratulate our team
as being the best ever.

Yabrosky
Baseball
Joe Yabrosky has been named
coach of Fairfield University's
first varsity baseball team according
to an announcement
this week by Reverend Gerald
A. Kinsella, S.J., Director of
Athletics.
A graduate of Holy Cross College
where he played both baseball
and football, Yabrosky
comes to the college as head
coach after three years as assistant
coach of Fairfield Prep's
diamond squad. During the season
of 1948 he was top mentor
when Fella Guintoff, now head
coach, was on a leave of absence
from the post for a year.
In addition to being assistant
baseball coach at the Prep, the
new coach has served as assistant
football coach to Guintoff
for the past four years, and has
been instrumental in turning out
many outstanding performers in
both sports.
A veteran of the United State~
Army, Yabrosky played baseball
and football with the 28th
Division in the European Theatre
of Operations, and performed
with many major league
stars, including Cecil Travis,
formerly with the Washington
Senators.
Fairfield with play a 12-team
schedule, mostly with colleges
from the Nutmeg state. Yabrosky
will issue first call for candidates
next Monday, and expects
to get practice under way
on a full scale when classes resume
after the Easter recess.

FAIRFIELD'S FAVORITE
NIGHT SPOT
Two friends of Fairfield University's
sports program changed
their positions lately. Bill McGuire,
guest at our Sports Night
earlier in the school year, has
left his job as Athletic Director
at St. Francis College in Brooklyn.
to go with Community
Counselling Service. Joe Weilert,
another guest that night,
former publicity director of St.

Intercollegiate Athletic Conference,
is now back on active duty
with the United States Coast
Guard. Joe holds a lieutenant's
commission.
Father Kinsella. our Athletic
Director. was a guest at the annual
Sports Dinner of the Algonquin
Club at the Stratfield
Hotel in Brilgeport recently.
Mel Allen. popular sports announcer.
was guest speaker.
Now that the basketball season
has officially closed, it is
time to go back over the records
and see how my pre-season predictions
fared. If you remember
correctly, I picked the varsity
to win 14 games and drop 11.
Although I didn't list each game
individually for all to view,
many of you did know how I
picked each game, and at various
times during the season
compared each other's predictions.
We had a lot of fun doing
so.
Well, I was one game out of
the way, and in being wrong, it
felt good to be wrong as long as
w~ won the game. The one contest
I missed up on was the
game with St. Anselm's at the
Bridgeport Armory. As you
know, we won, 45-42, and I
picked us to drop it.
I would like to know if there
is anyone in the school who
called all the games exactly. If
so, please let me know.
Congratulations to Stan Suchenski
on being selected on the
All Tournament team of the
New England N.A.I.B. Tournament.
He was the only freshman
so honored.
Joe Kehoe, in addition to being
named to Peterson's district
team, received additional honors
from the coaches in the area.
He was selected along with Ed
Brown and Frank McDermott of
Arnold and Lou Saccone and
Gus Seaman of Bridgeport on
the district team named by the
Bridgeport Herald, the state's
weekly paper. The coaches were
the men who selected the team.

At times, the
job of writing
sports brings
with it some
unpleasantness,
and just
that confronts
me now. I am
making reference
to the
column of Bill
Chambault, sports editor of The
Scribe. weekly paper of the
University of Bridgeport. Many
of you read the column when it
was posted on the bulletin
board, and upon doing so, wanted
to answer him directly. Others
felt that the best way to
answer him would be through
this column. So here goes.
First of all for those of you
who didn't ~ead the story in
question, I will briefly recapitulate
the part of it that referred
to Fairfield. Chambault refers to
the final game of the F.U.-U.B.
series which was won by the
former, 53-52. He calls the final
five minutes "haunting," states
that Fairfield got all the breaks,
and that we were apparently
aided by some unknown power.
He also adds that the defeat was
the hardest type that a team
can absorb.
About the only thing in his
statements that I agree with is
his final one. It was really a
tough game to lose. To answer
the other statements, the best
way might be by questions.
I am second guessing of course,
but why did Herb Glines, coach
of UB, help to make the final
five minutes so haunting by allowing
Lou Saccone to shoot the
second of two foul shots in the
final two minutes of play? Many
other fans at the game felt the
same way, and they were not
students of either school. Did
Fairfield get all the breaks when
the referee allowed the ball to
be put in play before Bobby
Markovic returned to his position
after fixing the net? Bridgeport
had a man free under the
basket, and he scored easily.
As for the unknown power,
who was it? I have a few answers
for that statement. It
could be Joe Miko who played a
bang-up game off the boards and
who came through with some
timely rebound scores. It might
have been Jack Mullady who,
like Miko, was playing the last
game of his college career (not
counting the Boston tournament
games) and who really played
a good defensive game. Others
feel it was Bobby Markovic who
not only scored the final and
winning basket, but who also
closed the gap in the final minutes.
Another answer might be that
it was the Man above who was
on our side. Coining a phrase
that has been used in religious
circles, let me say that "the
family who prays together,
stays together." After all, Fairfield
is just one big family, and
they certainly pray together,
team and students alike.

The contest was a close duel

only when there was an open-ing.

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 and the eliminations
are already well under
v.;ay. Because of the large number
of entrants, some participants
received first round byes,
and will meet the survivors of
the first round games.
During ihe early games, the
regular iable "habitants" went
thrcugh the rrst round practicany
without upset. Tony Fattibene,
last Y~':lrs champ, defeated
Tommy McCalla, and Ross Whelan
outlasted Rocky Forte: Others,
among them Bob Steele,
Harry Marmion, and Tom Flaherty
are progressing as was expected.
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 fact 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.
