The New York campaign, on the other hand, was a
black mark on the political annals of this nation. The
Republicans threw up any personal disqualifications
that they could dig out of the mud and the Democrats
were forced to shout "lies" and "slander" as ,their only
defense. If the Empire State ever recovers from this
debacle lit will be a wonder. If New York and the rest
of the states in the Union would use the Lodge-Ribicoff
campaign as ,a model for rfuture political races they
might erase a great deal of the mud from the pages of
history.

ST. JOHN'S - With all but one starter returning, the REDmen
should win, but not without an all out effort by The STAGS.
The score: 75-70.
KINGS POINT - The Mariners appear on the schedule for
the first time. The STAGS to rebound from St. John's loss by
winning, 65-57.
ST. MICHAEL'S - Boasting one of the strongest quintets in
New England, the Purple Knights shouldn't be bothered by a
foreign court as long as they have Bob Young. STAGS to lose,
70-63.
RIDER - The Jerseyites will fall to defeat as they did last I
year. The STAGS should walk a~ay, 65-52. I
I~NA - The loss of Ritchie Guerin should hinder the Gaels. I
We pIck the STAGS in an upset win, 65-62.
NEW YORK A.C. - Reappearing on the schedule after three
years, the New Yorkers will be given a bitter struggle. Stick-I
mg out our necks, we'll pick our side by 82-78.
ST. ANSELM'S - Bitter over last year's loss, the Stags to
continue the win streak, 68-60.
U.B. - Both teams are always up for this game but the
Knights lost too many men through graduation. The STAGS will
win to keep the Newman Trophy by a score of 78-65.
ST. FRANCIS - Game will be televised, but St. Francis will
be too powerful. The STAGS' win streak to be halted, losing by
76-65 count. .
MANHATTAN - The STAGS, still smarting from previous
loss, will not have enough to win this one. New Yorkers to
win, 75-64.
CORTLAND STATE TEACHERS - Annually one of the
top small college teams in the nation, the Teachers ought to be
just too much for the STAGS on their own court. We pick Court-land
to win by 82-70. I
LEMOYNE - Consistently a top flight ball club, the men
from Syracuse have always come out on top against our STAGS.
The STAGS have a good chance this year to win, but the nod
goes to LeMoyne, 65-59.

In the season's opener a powerful
St. John's University team
ran the Stags into the ground
as they won easily, 15-48. In
this meet, Jack Townsend, sensational
runner of the Redmen,
set a new course record with a
22 min. and 37.7 seconds time.
Westchester College edged
the Stags in the second meet by
the close score ·of 26-29. Westchester's
Riley took individual
honors with Fairfield's Jack
Smyth close behind.
In a triangular meet in New
York, the Stags lost to Brooklyn
Poly and Kings Point. In this
meet Fairfield had two runners
out in front when they became
lost. By the time they found
their way again it was too late
to catch up.
