Vol. X - No.4 Published by Students of Fairfield University, Fairfield, Conn. November 26, 1958 Mannion, Royston Down Brian Lawler and Geoffrey. G-eorgetownatBrownTourney Stokes Promoted on the Stag mid- Self-Censorship Rule of ~Stevas On Wednesday, November 12, the Bellarmine Lecture series was honored by the presence of the famoed English author and lecturer, Dr. Norman St. JohnStevas. "Censorship should be self imposed by the author, and it should not be forced upon him," was the argument Dr. St. John-Stevas presented. This central theme of the loecturer was then developed according to its effects. If the author fails to heed his personal morals, then a censorship board should be placed to check him, stated the speaker. The primary place of censorship, however, is in the artist's own convictions (Con'i on Page 4) "76 TROMBONES~~STRII(E UP ON OPENING NIGHT where he will receive news first hand, Lawler has the qualities of performing his office woell. Geoffrey Stokes ('61) will succeed Bill Lavery as Feature Editor. Most of us recall the very controversial article concerning last year's Mid-Winter Carnival which was w l' itt e n by Mr. Stokes. His able poen has also written the main feature article of the STAG-From This Corner for the past year; he has several future plans to add to the interest of this section of the paper.

The Glee Club under its able director, Mr. Simon Harak, will present an interesting program highlighted by a medley from "The Music Man" especially arranged for them by Emile· Cote. Included in this medley are such numbers as "SeventySix Trombones," "Lida Rose," and "Wells Fargo Wagon." In this year's program the club brings back its ever popular "Dry Bones" as well as Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever" which was enthusiastically received during their past season. Always known in the past for their unique interpretation of Negro spirituals, the club this year will present "Set Down Servant" along with "De Coppah Moon." Romberg's "Wanting You" from "The New Moon" and the sparkling Russian dance song "Dance My Comrades" round out their first concert program. This year the Campus Minstrels will continue in their traditional presentation of good music combined with the touch of comedy in their singing of the "Cider Song" and "Ballad of Hurry Up and Wait." The Bensonians will also be on hand with a fine selection of close harmony ballads. The eighty members of the St. Joseph's Glee Club directed by Doctor Douglass Green will join Fairfield in singing D'Artaga's "Hail Mary" and Schuman's "Holiday Song" to close out the program. This year's concert schedule is highlighted by a Glee Club Festival and Competition to be held at the University of Scranton on April 11 and 12. Competing against Fairfield will be such colleges as Holy Cross, Providence College, St. John's of Brooklyn, Kings College, and Lawler and Stokes confer with Editor Naedele on the outline the University of Scranton. of the December 10 issue.

The Bellarmine Debating Society of Fairfield University placed thirteenth out of twenty-five colleges and universities at the intercollegiate Debate Tournament at Brown University held on November 14 and 15 at Providence, Rhode Island. Debaters at the tournament represented schools from all over the east coast; participation in the tourney was by invitation. -------------~~ Fairfield sent a two-man affimative team and a two·man noegative team; Rev. Hugo W. Durst, S.J., also traveled to Brown as a tournament judge. Each team won and lost two debates, bringing the total point score to 588 as opposed to 693 for Barnard College, the winning school. Arthur Mannion '61 and David Royston '61 debated the negative for Fairfield on the National Topic. (Resolvoed: That the further development of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement.) Their victories were scored over Boston College and Georgetown University. The affirmative was argued by John F. X. Warburton '61 and Geoffrey S t 0 k e s '61. Good Counsel College and Morgan State University of Baltimore fell to defeat by Fairfield's affirmative team. Morgan Stare had held the lead in the tournament until the final round and were labeled as "the team to beat." The judges scored the teams (Con't on Page 4) Page Two THE STAG R. Cagnassola, R.

Several frosh· have asked ·that-I write an article on drinking, sex, and college life (but, fellows, this is a family newspaper). So, rather than write as I had planned (a snappy treatise on social outgrowths of the Crusades), I'll succumb to the demand. Here are some mild off-the-wall comments on area girls and where to go with them. College of New Rochelle: These girls are, in general, so wholesome and "typical teen" that they seem to belong in an Archie Andrews comic. They're nice enough but sweetness and light get sickening after a while. Handiest places are Glen Cove and The Barge. Should you find one of them that doesn't suffer under bright lights, try the Chicken Box (no dancing). Marymount: Good looking crop of dateable pseudo-sophisticates. Several expensive-type Scotch drinkers; The Cabin is handy and good. Avoid the Tea House like the Bubonic Plague. Some go for Tappen Hill, but different reason. Girls must be gotten in on time, but their curfew is reasonable on Saturday night. v Saint Vincent: Great for all you rock 'n' roll lovers. Biology majors who like to talk shop are happy here, as are zoology students who like to mix business with pleasure. Places in the area are scarce, but The Duke's is friendly. Good Counsel: Dances here are good, but end much too early for any reasonable purposes. Buddy Vennedy's and Michael's are close and good, but Vennedy's is not the place for Puritans. Manhattanville: Be prepared to drop names left and right. If you can take the effort to practice inane social chatter for the first few dates, the general run of girls is well worth it. Places to go in the area are numerous and fairly reasonable. The Cobble Stone is slow aCt best) in bringing back the change. At hints, the girls will become beer drinkers. Townies: I said this was a family newspaper, and I meant it.

Swanson PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR Art Funk This issue of the STAG does not carry any coverage of the dramat's work or a review of the play because the editor feels that a discussion of the work of the crews without a review of the play itself would be inappropriate at this date, and deadlines negated the publication of a review.

They are the Young Dems. ______----= :..- ~0 During the weeks before the November 4th elections these Young Dems gave the idea of 'positive action' a real meaning by their telephoning, stamping and mailing letters, ringing doorbells to deliver Democratic literature, providing rides to and from the polls on election day, and so many more things that make for success in a campaign. And in so doing they helped two Fairfield University graduates, Ed Caldwell and John Relihan, to win in their respective districts in Bridgeport; and within the near fu-ture these two men will be taking their seats in the state senate. This is the type of work that the Young Dems performed throughout Fairfield County. We saw their positive action in practice here during the time of your mock elections in the form of talks by U.S. Senator-elect Tom Dodd and U.S. Representative- elect Don Irwin and the campaign material that virtually blanketed the University. Look around you; you probably know some of these men: Bill Lavery, Walt Naedele, John Guman, Jerry O'Leary, Vin Carraflello, Geff Stokes, Bob O'Neil, Roger CapoBianco, Berney Lockhart, Mike Buckmir, Steve Habetz, Jim Grady. These and others of the YD. are just so many more reasons why Fairfield University can be proud of itself. Campus Personality By RAYMOND NALEWAJK The Sodality, Student Council, Dramatic Society, Knights of Columbus, and New Frontiers all carry the name of John Redgate. The flood gates of his talents are always open when they are needed. He is not only a worker doing his best; but a leader leading the best of Fairfield. His senior class presidency at Fairfield Prep to his future as a "platoon leader" in the Marines exemplify his ability to take the leading post. It's not activities for activities' sake for Jack, but it is a matter of natural, personal interest, personal development, and a desire to do something for Fairfield. He is not the head of any organization right now. However, his talents are being used in a more profitable way. Jack's ability to lead and his willingness to work make him more valuable in the several organizations to which he belongs. This spirited, friendly senior will leave Fairfield as a "miles insignis." The Rate of Profit Larger In the Larger Business? By PETER NEGRI One of the most important functions which profit should perform is to act as a natural selector, choosing for survival those for those business units which best serve the public interest. There are two questions which can be asked - here. One, does capital earn the higher return when invested in large business units or in small business units? Two, does the rate of profit favor the particular size of enterprises which is best for the economic welfare? Before answering the above questions there are a couple of 'points which must be made clear. It cannot be assumed that business profitability is a measure of productive efficiency, for in some cases a high profif may be due to a more or less monopol~ tic position of a few companies. Also, when statistical sur' veys were taken on this subject, the records of business profit were available for firms which have already met the test of survival, at least for a certain length of time. Without stating any statistical facts (found in BUSINESS SIZE and THE PUBLIC INTEREST published by the NAM), the conclusions reached will be sufficient. In general it may be said that big business is neither more nor less profitable than small business. Doesn't this destroy any justification for big business? No, presumably there are economic reasons for each firm to have assumed its present size. The statistical examination indicates that there is no relationship between the size and profitability of these existing firms. It does not prove that any given firm's profits would not be affected if it would either be reduced or increased in size. The conclusion, though it seems to deny any connection between size and profitability. is perfectly consistent with the view that in cases where large size is advantageous, large size has been reached, and in cases where small size is most profitable, the units tend to be small. Both economic theory and common sense teach that if the rate of return on both big and small businesses was not the same, the investors would reinvest their capital in the unit makingthe most profit and the other business size would go out of existence which, of course. is not so in our society. Thus the conclusion that there is no systematic connection between the size of business units and their profitability is one of many arguments in support of the present system of determining the size of business units by private rather than government decision. The conclusion that large and small businesses are about equally profitable shows an efficient functioning of the economic system. There are no grounds for suspecting that large business will grow at the expense of small business in the future, since one is about as attractive a field for investment as the other. The present division of the business structure as between large and small units seems to be a reasonable approach to the situation most conducive to the general public interest. It neither shields inefficiency nor permits monopolistic practices.

As this edition goes to press the frosh record reads thus: 7 and 0 with none to go.

Barry was fighting for the lead and his teammates were coming fast. Our entire squad finished before the Blue Devil's fifth can crossed the line, and before Adelphi's f 0 u l' t h man completed the course. Dick Urso was the first across the line for New Britain, and seven seconds later Fairfield's Jack Barry hit the mark. Robert McCarthy and Lou Ockey got fourth and fifth respectively, while Mike Medley took a seventh and Jack Doyle a tenth.

Three days later the frosh took to the rails on their home grounds against one of New York's best, St. John's. The Johnnies were ready to tomahawk the Stags, but it ended up just the other way around. In one of the most thrilling races ever seen here Tom Celandine of St. John's just managed to edge out John .Barry in a grueling battle that lasted through the whole race. Barry kicked with all that he had down the final straightaway but he just couldn't catch his opponent. McCarthy and Ockey took third and fourth while St. John's took fifth and sixth. Then Mike Medley took a seventh and a Johnnie took eighth. Each team now had four men across the finish line and all eyes were glued to 'the strailihtaway once again. There was one white jersey and a red one com i n g down the track. The pressure was on. All wondered who would take this spot and the meet.

Amid this bL'Sy schedule he still finds time ~o relax by playing a little basketball himself. According to the coach, this year's slate should be a rough one, since most of the games will be played on unfamiliar boards. He plans to use no set court style, adapting the team to man-to-man or zone defenses as the situation warrants it.

SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH GIFTS from HOWLAlND'S By LARRY LESSING Approximately 150 student and faculty members witnessed one of the most exciting sports events Fairfield will remember. a gruelling. hard-fought contest between the undefeated titans of the Intramural League. the "Garrity's" and the "Kelly·s". After an hour of "rock and sock 'em" football. the unblemished records of both clubs were only slightly jarred as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The game was highlighted by the fine defensive play of both clubs on the line as well as in the secondary. The hard charging lines forced the passer to hurry his heaves all afternoon. and each defensive backgeld intercepted 6 passes. The Kelly's were held to two first downs. a result of a pass interference call and an offside penalty. while the Garrity's were only able to pick up three via the air lanes. Offensively it was almost all Garrity's squad. as they continually had possession in Kelly territory. Time and again Garrity's "First Floor Chollies" threatened. only to be repulsed by Kelly's "Stalwart Soph" defense. Paced by the passing of Pete York. who completed 10 out of 36 passes. the Garrity's had many scoring opportunities. Late in the second half. York hit Tom Caragliano for what seemed to be the winning touchdown. only to have the play called back on an offensive holding penalty. A few plays later the last scoring opportunity was nullified. as Gene Purcell's interception of a Mike Kelly pass and subsequent runback to the enemy four was cancelled because of an offside penalty. Mike McDonald. who grabbed five passes. and Tom Caragliano. who caught four. were York's chief targets in this game. Gerry O'Keefe and Bob Ahearn were Mike Kelly's favorites. Defensively. both teams were just about equal. although a slight edge must be given to the Sophs for their fierce line play. Richie Loughlin and Joe Cannizaro were a fine addition to the Little Ea.p·s backfield. The fierce Soph line hit so hard on one play that both Joe Scanlon and Bart Panessa received injuries. Although he continued to play. Bart's injury was later determined to be a greenleaf fracture in his ankle. On another play. Sam Mowad received a bad sprain to his right wrist. Play was very rough throughout the game and most members of both teams received at least a slight memento of the afternoon. Both teams backfields played heads up ball. Mike Kelly led both squads with four interceptions. Pete Pistillo alertly grabbed three Kelly passes and led the Chollies in interceptions and Gene Purcell gathered in two errant tosses. Bob Ahearn picked off the other two York passes for the Sophs. whlie Pete himself retaliated with one interception. No individual could be picked out as the outstanding player. as this game showed real teamwork and team play. It was a fine example of the benefits to a school of a strong intramural program that is backed up by solid student int~rest.

"Censorship should be self imposed by the author, and it should not be forced upon him," was the argument Dr. St. John-Stevas presented. This central theme of the loecturer was then developed according to its effects. If the author fails to heed his personal morals, then a censorship board should be placed to check him, stated the speaker. The primary place of censorship, however, is in the artist's own convictions (Con'i on Page 4) "76 TROMBONES~~STRII(E UP ON OPENING NIGHT where he will receive news first hand, Lawler has the qualities of performing his office woell.

The Glee Club under its able director, Mr. Simon Harak, will present an interesting program highlighted by a medley from "The Music Man" especially arranged for them by Emile· Cote. Included in this medley are such numbers as "SeventySix Trombones," "Lida Rose," and "Wells Fargo Wagon." In this year's program the club brings back its ever popular "Dry Bones" as well as Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever" which was enthusiastically received during their past season. Always known in the past for their unique interpretation of Negro spirituals, the club this year will present "Set Down Servant" along with "De Coppah Moon." Romberg's "Wanting You" from "The New Moon" and the sparkling Russian dance song "Dance My Comrades" round out their first concert program. This year the Campus Minstrels will continue in their traditional presentation of good music combined with the touch of comedy in their singing of the "Cider Song" and "Ballad of Hurry Up and Wait." The Bensonians will also be on hand with a fine selection of close harmony ballads. The eighty members of the St. Joseph's Glee Club directed by Doctor Douglass Green will join Fairfield in singing D'Artaga's "Hail Mary" and Schuman's "Holiday Song" to close out the program. This year's concert schedule is highlighted by a Glee Club Festival and Competition to be held at the University of Scranton on April 11 and 12.

The Bellarmine Debating Society of Fairfield University placed thirteenth out of twenty-five colleges and universities at the intercollegiate Debate Tournament at Brown University held on November 14 and 15 at Providence, Rhode Island. Debaters at the tournament represented schools from all over the east coast; participation in the tourney was by invitation. -------------~~ Fairfield sent a two-man affimative team and a two·man noegative team; Rev. Hugo W. Durst, S.J., also traveled to Brown as a tournament judge. Each team won and lost two debates, bringing the total point score to 588 as opposed to 693 for Barnard College, the winning school. Arthur Mannion '61 and David Royston '61 debated the negative for Fairfield on the National Topic. (Resolvoed: That the further development of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement.) Their victories were scored over Boston College and Georgetown University. The affirmative was argued by John F. X. Warburton '61 and Geoffrey S t 0 k e s '61. Good Counsel College and Morgan State University of Baltimore fell to defeat by Fairfield's affirmative team.

Several frosh· have asked ·that-I write an article on drinking, sex, and college life (but, fellows, this is a family newspaper). So, rather than write as I had planned (a snappy treatise on social outgrowths of the Crusades), I'll succumb to the demand. Here are some mild off-the-wall comments on area girls and where to go with them. College of New Rochelle: These girls are, in general, so wholesome and "typical teen" that they seem to belong in an Archie Andrews comic. They're nice enough but sweetness and light get sickening after a while. Handiest places are Glen Cove and The Barge. Should you find one of them that doesn't suffer under bright lights, try the Chicken Box (no dancing). Marymount: Good looking crop of dateable pseudo-sophisticates. Several expensive-type Scotch drinkers; The Cabin is handy and good. Avoid the Tea House like the Bubonic Plague. Some go for Tappen Hill, but different reason. Girls must be gotten in on time, but their curfew is reasonable on Saturday night. v Saint Vincent: Great for all you rock 'n' roll lovers. Biology majors who like to talk shop are happy here, as are zoology students who like to mix business with pleasure. Places in the area are scarce, but The Duke's is friendly. Good Counsel: Dances here are good, but end much too early for any reasonable purposes. Buddy Vennedy's and Michael's are close and good, but Vennedy's is not the place for Puritans. Manhattanville: Be prepared to drop names left and right. If you can take the effort to practice inane social chatter for the first few dates, the general run of girls is well worth it. Places to go in the area are numerous and fairly reasonable. The Cobble Stone is slow aCt best) in bringing back the change. At hints, the girls will become beer drinkers. Townies: I said this was a family newspaper, and I meant it.

Swanson PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR Art Funk This issue of the STAG does not carry any coverage of the dramat's work or a review of the play because the editor feels that a discussion of the work of the crews without a review of the play itself would be inappropriate at this date, and deadlines negated the publication of a review.

Hot Off The Platter The New Haven Club will hold its second annual Thanksgiving dance at the Pietro Micca Society in West Haven on Thurday (Thanksgiving night), Nov. 27, from 9:00 to 1:00.

They are the Young Dems. ______----= :..- ~0 During the weeks before the November 4th elections these Young Dems gave the idea of 'positive action' a real meaning by their telephoning, stamping and mailing letters, ringing doorbells to deliver Democratic literature, providing rides to and from the polls on election day, and so many more things that make for success in a campaign. And in so doing they helped two Fairfield University graduates, Ed Caldwell and John Relihan, to win in their respective districts in Bridgeport; and within the near fu-ture these two men will be taking their seats in the state senate. This is the type of work that the Young Dems performed throughout Fairfield County. We saw their positive action in practice here during the time of your mock elections in the form of talks by U.S. Senator-elect Tom Dodd and U.S. Representative- elect Don Irwin and the campaign material that virtually blanketed the University. Look around you; you probably know some of these men: Bill Lavery, Walt Naedele, John Guman, Jerry O'Leary, Vin Carraflello, Geff Stokes, Bob O'Neil, Roger CapoBianco, Berney Lockhart, Mike Buckmir, Steve Habetz, Jim Grady. These and others of the YD. are just so many more reasons why Fairfield University can be proud of itself. Campus Personality By RAYMOND NALEWAJK The Sodality, Student Council, Dramatic Society, Knights of Columbus, and New Frontiers all carry the name of John Redgate. The flood gates of his talents are always open when they are needed. He is not only a worker doing his best; but a leader leading the best of Fairfield. His senior class presidency at Fairfield Prep to his future as a "platoon leader" in the Marines exemplify his ability to take the leading post. It's not activities for activities' sake for Jack, but it is a matter of natural, personal interest, personal development, and a desire to do something for Fairfield. He is not the head of any organization right now. However, his talents are being used in a more profitable way. Jack's ability to lead and his willingness to work make him more valuable in the several organizations to which he belongs. This spirited, friendly senior will leave Fairfield as a "miles insignis." The Rate of Profit Larger In the Larger Business? By PETER NEGRI One of the most important functions which profit should perform is to act as a natural selector, choosing for survival those for those business units which best serve the public interest. There are two questions which can be asked - here. One, does capital earn the higher return when invested in large business units or in small business units? Two, does the rate of profit favor the particular size of enterprises which is best for the economic welfare? Before answering the above questions there are a couple of 'points which must be made clear. It cannot be assumed that business profitability is a measure of productive efficiency, for in some cases a high profif may be due to a more or less monopol~ tic position of a few companies. Also, when statistical sur' veys were taken on this subject, the records of business profit were available for firms which have already met the test of survival, at least for a certain length of time. Without stating any statistical facts (found in BUSINESS SIZE and THE PUBLIC INTEREST published by the NAM), the conclusions reached will be sufficient. In general it may be said that big business is neither more nor less profitable than small business. Doesn't this destroy any justification for big business? No, presumably there are economic reasons for each firm to have assumed its present size. The statistical examination indicates that there is no relationship between the size and profitability of these existing firms. It does not prove that any given firm's profits would not be affected if it would either be reduced or increased in size. The conclusion, though it seems to deny any connection between size and profitability. is perfectly consistent with the view that in cases where large size is advantageous, large size has been reached, and in cases where small size is most profitable, the units tend to be small. Both economic theory and common sense teach that if the rate of return on both big and small businesses was not the same, the investors would reinvest their capital in the unit makingthe most profit and the other business size would go out of existence which, of course. is not so in our society. Thus the conclusion that there is no systematic connection between the size of business units and their profitability is one of many arguments in support of the present system of determining the size of business units by private rather than government decision. The conclusion that large and small businesses are about equally profitable shows an efficient functioning of the economic system. There are no grounds for suspecting that large business will grow at the expense of small business in the future, since one is about as attractive a field for investment as the other. The present division of the business structure as between large and small units seems to be a reasonable approach to the situation most conducive to the general public interest. It neither shields inefficiency nor permits monopolistic practices.

Our entire squad finished before the Blue Devil's fifth can crossed the line, and before Adelphi's f 0 u l' t h man completed the course. Dick Urso was the first across the line for New Britain, and seven seconds later Fairfield's Jack Barry hit the mark. Robert McCarthy and Lou Ockey got fourth and fifth respectively, while Mike Medley took a seventh and Jack Doyle a tenth.

Three days later the frosh took to the rails on their home grounds against one of New York's best, St. John's. The Johnnies were ready to tomahawk the Stags, but it ended up just the other way around. In one of the most thrilling races ever seen here Tom Celandine of St. John's just managed to edge out John .Barry in a grueling battle that lasted through the whole race. Barry kicked with all that he had down the final straightaway but he just couldn't catch his opponent. McCarthy and Ockey took third and fourth while St. John's took fifth and sixth. Then Mike Medley took a seventh and a Johnnie took eighth. Each team now had four men across the finish line and all eyes were glued to 'the strailihtaway once again.

Fairfield Lawyer Coach Tamashunas'> Yearlings Coaches Stag Five E d S W· h 7 0 R d By MICHAEL T. KIERNAN n cason It . ecor Coach George Bisacca, Fairfield's varsity basketball mentor, faces this year's rugged 23game schedule with six years of . highly successful coaching for the Prep behind him. The father of "four and one expe-eted" in private life is a prominent Fairfield lawyer. A native of Bridgeport, he attended Fairfield Prep before enter' ng Georgetown's Law School in Washington. D.C., where he played varsity ball as a guard. The youthful coach, who 'Jlans to better last year's 12-9 record, leads his team through two hours of rigorous practice sessions at the Bridgeport Armory every afternoon. Amid this bL'Sy schedule he still finds time ~o relax by playing a little basketball himself. According to the coach, this year's slate should be a rough one, since most of the games will be played on unfamiliar boards. He plans to use no set court style, adapting the team to man-to-man or zone defenses as the situation warrants it.

SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH GIFTS from HOWLAlND'S By LARRY LESSING Approximately 150 student and faculty members witnessed one of the most exciting sports events Fairfield will remember. a gruelling. hard-fought contest between the undefeated titans of the Intramural League. the "Garrity's" and the "Kelly·s". After an hour of "rock and sock 'em" football. the unblemished records of both clubs were only slightly jarred as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The game was highlighted by the fine defensive play of both clubs on the line as well as in the secondary. The hard charging lines forced the passer to hurry his heaves all afternoon. and each defensive backgeld intercepted 6 passes. The Kelly's were held to two first downs. a result of a pass interference call and an offside penalty. while the Garrity's were only able to pick up three via the air lanes. Offensively it was almost all Garrity's squad. as they continually had possession in Kelly territory. Time and again Garrity's "First Floor Chollies" threatened. only to be repulsed by Kelly's "Stalwart Soph" defense. Paced by the passing of Pete York. who completed 10 out of 36 passes. the Garrity's had many scoring opportunities. Late in the second half. York hit Tom Caragliano for what seemed to be the winning touchdown. only to have the play called back on an offensive holding penalty. A few plays later the last scoring opportunity was nullified. as Gene Purcell's interception of a Mike Kelly pass and subsequent runback to the enemy four was cancelled because of an offside penalty. Mike McDonald. who grabbed five passes. and Tom Caragliano. who caught four. were York's chief targets in this game. Gerry O'Keefe and Bob Ahearn were Mike Kelly's favorites. Defensively. both teams were just about equal. although a slight edge must be given to the Sophs for their fierce line play. Richie Loughlin and Joe Cannizaro were a fine addition to the Little Ea.p·s backfield. The fierce Soph line hit so hard on one play that both Joe Scanlon and Bart Panessa received injuries. Although he continued to play. Bart's injury was later determined to be a greenleaf fracture in his ankle. On another play. Sam Mowad received a bad sprain to his right wrist. Play was very rough throughout the game and most members of both teams received at least a slight memento of the afternoon. Both teams backfields played heads up ball. Mike Kelly led both squads with four interceptions. Pete Pistillo alertly grabbed three Kelly passes and led the Chollies in interceptions and Gene Purcell gathered in two errant tosses. Bob Ahearn picked off the other two York passes for the Sophs. whlie Pete himself retaliated with one interception. No individual could be picked out as the outstanding player. as this game showed real teamwork and team play. It was a fine example of the benefits to a school of a strong intramural program that is backed up by solid student int~rest.

Both Celandine and Barry broke the course record whict had been set by Barry in the last home meet.
