For First 1947 DanceBill Hammersley and BandTo Play at Soph CotillionField House Scene of Traditional Affair; Orchestra

Prominent in Philadelphia District

Villanovans will dance to the music of Bill Hammersleyand his orchestra when the class of '49 presents the tradi-

tional Sophomore Cotillion in the Villanova Field House onSaturday, December 14. -

"

The dance, originally scheduled for October, was de-

layed because of the fact that

crowded^-^qou^itioDL .atJtUft -col-

lege necessitated the use of

the field house as a dormi-tory for resident students.These conditions have been suffi-

ciently alleviated to permit the uae

of the gym for social activities.

Tickets LimitedThe Cotillion will be an open, In-

.. formal dance, but the number of

tickets is limited. Phil Appleby has

been apoplnted chairman of the

ticket committee; several membersof the Sophomore class will assist

him in the sale and distribution of

tickets. Appleby has announced

» BUX HAMMEBSI.Y

that a list of agents will be placed

on bulletin boards at strategic

points throughout the campus. Stu-

dents are requested to buy tickets

In advance In order to avoid disap-

pointment.Bill Hammersley's aggregation,

Which will Supply the music is well

known in the Philadelphia area.

They have played for Chestnut Hill,

Pennsylvania, Princeton, Beaver,and many other colleges. This Is,

however, their first appearance atVillanova.Decorations on Christmas ThemeThe Tuletlde spirit will pervade

the field house for the occasion,

with holly wreaths and Christmastrees In abundance. The decora-

tions are being planned by Joe Gal-lagher, who hopes for a large turn-

out of Sophs on Saturday morningand afternoon in order to have the

f^m prepared for ' the evening's

dancing.The dance committee expects the

affair to be very successful, since

It is the first important social func-

tion of the year. Its proximity to

the Christmas holidays lends it afestive air. In spite of the fact

that the dance Is being held on veryshort notice, enthusiasm is runninghigh.The rapid organization of thiv

dance was possible because of

weeks of preliminary planning onthe part of the class officers andcommitteemen. The cooperation

being given by the class In general,

however, is the big factor that per-

mits of such hasty but efficient

preparation. Tickets for the danceare three dollars per couple.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 10, 1946

Not By Book AloneTwo schools of thought always seem to exist on the

question of extra-curricular activities in relation to school-

ing. One, unfortunately, is the biased opinion that a school

should be nothing more than an objective proposition in

which students are to get what they can out of books andthen graduate to find their way in the world; a cut anddried proposition on a "cAsh and carry" basis.

If such were the case, yearbooks, proms and wonderfultraditions would be no more than water over the dam —wasted effort — a lure for prospective students to attend;

Vilianova 's proud hundred years of existence would meannothing.

As abstract and ethereal as it may sound, the culture,

finish, and lasting friendship which can be found in college

is boundless in limits. Book knowledge, thank goodness, is

only half of what a college education presents.

Too many educators today are trying to make mennothing more than machines, robbing tihem of the beautywhich can be found in life. A college should offer more thanthat which can be calculated in cold, hard figures. A college

should make available to its students the opportunity of

meeting and mixing with each other, of working and cooper-

ating on school projects, and of practising citizenship andgood fellowship in the various extra-curricular endeavors.

The thrill of helping a team-mate make a touchdown,the excitement of putting a dance over through one's ownplans and ideas, yes, even publishing a campus newspapercan impart more to a college student than the study of a

hundred books. These things give something to the personal

make-up of a fellow which books cannot impart. They addto the character of a man who must take his place in aworld of turmoil.

The second idea of college inculcates these principles

and rightly so. The advocates of this plan would have us

become a man while becoming learned.

Primarily, a college is a place to gain knowledge frombooks, but college training shouldn't stop at this. The col-

lege owes it to a student to complete the job of training aman to meet the world.

We are not, by any means, trying tp belifUe the impor-

tance of study in college. No rational being would try to dothat. We are trying to show that given an education along

with the supplementary opportunity for extra-curricular

activities, in other words, a ''rounded" education, we possess

a priceless treasure, the most valuable thing a school can

give. We shall have the gift of balanced schooling and thus

we can meet and cope adequately with problems facing us

in the fields to which we will be scattered when we leave

the shelter of Vilianova.

By FBA^'OIS J. HANSSENS

It stems that one of the most ef-

fecti><e keys to success in thiii lit-

tle world of ours lies in a very sim-ple, unadorned phrase, namely,<"someone on the inside." If youask the local "bookie" to what heattributes his great success, he in-

variably will answer that it is be-

cause he knew "someone on the in-

side." Chances are that the youngfellows driving those beautiful '46

Buicks around the campus knew"someone on the inside" too. Infact, it seems to be a complete toss-

up as to who is the most promin«ntntan in the U.S. today, Kilroy orthe "man on the inside."

Be that as it may, with a little

thought on our part, we, as Catho-lics, will discover that ours is thegood fortune of being able to as-

sure ourselves of "someone on theinlside" who will aid us in the at-

tainment of the pinnacle of success;

the saving of our immortal souls.

The formula for getting thesefriends of ours on the "inside" is

quite a simple one, and the beautyof the whole set-up is that once weget our friends situated, they're

there for keeps. Sounds prettygood, doesn't it? And here's oneproposition that's just as good as

it sounds. The formula is the oft-

proven one of prayer, > and the

"friends" who are going to be pull-

ing for us are the Souls in Purga-tory, that is to say, the souls whowill have been in Purgatory before

we got to work putting them on the

"inside."

In the Souls in Purgatory, then,

we have a group of potential "in-

side" men who are just waiting for

the day when weo n earth will free

them from their suffering, a free-

dom that will mean not only the

gaining of the Beautiflc Vision for.

them, but also the advantage for

us of having someone close to Godwho will not forget his debt to us

in time of our temptation and trial,

and who will help us to attain

those graces we need for the lead-

ing of a good life. For, after all,

can we not expect as much fromthe soul who found, in our prayers,

the end to his suffering?

Thus it is that, through constantprayer for the Souls in Purgatory,

we find ourselves soon blessed withcountless allies in heaven throughwhose grateful intercession we canmake our gaining of heaven an "in-

side Job."

150 Years Well Done . . .

Throughout the historv of mankind we have st****-

great men dedicating their lives to teaching and leading

their fellowmen in the truths and in the paths of righteous-

ness.

Foremost among them are the men of the Augustinian

Order, who from the time of their founding in 388 A. D.

at Tagaste, Africa, by St. Augustine of Hippo, have been

relentless in their devotion and prayers, penance, teachings

and charity.

On Wednesday, December 11, the Order will be cele-

brating its One Hundred and Fiftieth anniversary of its

existence in these United States. For one hundred and fifty

years the good Fathers of St. Augustine have been goingabout these same endeavors in this country. They haveestablished a proud record.

On Wednesday, may we all remember in our prayersthis noble Order which stands for so much. May we all paylasting tribute to an Order of Great Men. May God bless

them and reward them eternally for their good works.

We were bending an elbow witha few plumbers at Ford's last nightand one of them asked us, quote," ?" Unq^ote.Now we well realize that this it

a very serious question and onowhich college students all over thecountry (and in the city, too) arearguing. Although we at Vilianovamight believe so, what about thestudents at Oshkosh? Or SlipperyRock? Or Harcum? Do they feel

the same way? MEN! Don't wasteyour college life by not thinkingabout this problem. Remember, youare the men who will have to facethis predicament in later years. Sodon't hesitate; tear off the top ofyour neighborhood grocer and sendhim in today!NEWS FLASH! Homann and

Having very little sales resistancewe're overly impressed by all ad-vertising slogans.

As they were typing ourblood (on a small portable type-writer) Mr. Dracula (Vice-Pres. inCharge of small loans) asked us afew questions about our life dur-ing the last 40 years.

to get a loan. No co-signers—norelatives or friends bothered, andbesides who wants to have two eyesanyway.Talking about sales resistance,

we noticed that a 104 year old man,in the Mid-West, just purchased acemetery lot. How's that for beingtough to sell.

Catholic Literature

Page ThW

By F. ANTHONY HOMANN JR.

What must be present in a book,a play, or a movie which will quali-fy it as Catholic literature? Surelythis question has come into theminds of many of those who are inany way Interested in Catholic letrters. Let us consider some of thenecessary requirements for such awork. Inasmuch as a full consider-ation of the principles used in eval-uating any literary effort would un-fortunately take more space thanla here allotted, we shall treat onlybriefly on this subject.

Obviously the most im.portant•haracteristic of a Catholic book or

play is the Cath-olicity of its

theme. Thismark can bebrought about in

a variety ofways. The cen-tral thoughtmay stress amoral truth, ex-pressed eitherinthe form of aparable, or ex-plicitly. A goodexample of the

former method may be found Inthe recent best-seller "BridesheadRevisited" by Evelyn Waugh. Thel^son of this story was God's nev-er-ending search for the soul ofman. Around this fnndamentaltruth Mr. Waugh masterfully wovethe story of the decay of the March-mains, a noble, English Catholic,manor family, and the individualreturn of the members of the fam-ily to the faith-of their forefathers.A hint for those who missed thethought behind this novel may begained by turning to the title ofBook n, and then turning to thebottom of page 220. Here we mightadd that, quite naturally, the* liter-ary stature of any book, Catholic orotherwise, depends a great dealupon the style of the author, hischaracter portrayal, historical anddoctrinal authenticity and so forth.For an example of the explicit

ttMjnner of teaching a moral truth,we may consider Francis Thomp-son's poetio masterpiece, "TheHound Of Heaven." Here, Thomp-son's central thought is the same asWaugh's — namely God's never-ending pursuit for the salvation ofmans' soul. However, Thompsonpresents this truth directly in his

poem, not hidden under the frameof a story as it was in "BridesheadRevisited." Both works, if prop-erly interpreted and appreciated,are equally forceful, and both areoutstanding examples of Catholicliterature.

iloingsI

InTof¥ii

A second method of achievingCatholicity of theme Is the accurateand unbiased portrayal of Catholiclife and principles. Splendid exam-ples of this may be found In therecent movies "Going My Way" andthe "Bells of St. Mary's." Likewise,the biographies of the saints, if

narrated with justice and veracity,can achieve this purpose. Excellentmodels of this method can be foundin our contemporary literaturewhere such books as "The Song ofBernadette" by Franz Werfel and"Edmund Campion" by EvelynWaugh, are a few of the many ex-amples.

Finally, a Catholic book cannotbe hypocritical — it cannot (like"many of our present day moviesand books do) follow the letter ofthe law, but not the law itself.

That is to say, a book Is not Cath-olic which paints sin temptingly fortwo hundred and ninety-nine pages,and on the three hundredth "out ofprinciple" punishes the offenders.The general impression gainedfrom the book is altered little by apunishment of the offenders at theend of the book. *

Such then are the methods forattaining the general requirementof Catholicity of theme. Let us nowturn our attention to the more dif.flcult and more subtle task of de-termining just what would makeany specific passage objectionable,and what effect objectionable pas-sages have on the whole book. Tothis task we may apply three gen-eral principles.

I—Parts which are objectionabledo- not necessarily condemn thewhole.

II—Sin must be recognized assuch.

Ill—There must be no temptingdescriptions of sin.

These are the three most import-ant rules to apply to any doubtfulpassage or book. In the next is-

sue, we shall devote some time toa fuller discussion of .these princi-ples, certainly not as fully as theycould be discussed, but enough togive the reader a fair idea of theprinciples of Catholic literature.

NROTCNotesBy JOE KENNEY

An important announcement byCaptain Thomas disclosed that nomore candidates for admission to

the Naval Reserve Officers Train-ing Corps will be accepted after

December 7 of the current schol-

astic year. As the only exceptions,

, five students from the freshman: class with previous experience asmembers of the NROTC or V-12unit will be accepted as contractstudents next semester. The Com-manding OflScer expressed the de-sire that all students interested inthe program act quickly in orderto receive the opportunities of suchtraining.

Eligible for AnnapolisA recent order from the Navy

Department in Washington, D. C.stated that only Contract studentsare eligible to compete for appoint-ments to the Naval Academy. How-ever, Captain Thomas discouragesthe idea of present NROTC menf:oing to the Naval Academy forhe primary reason of lost time asthe current training received bythe students attending Vilianovais closely related to the trainingreceived at Annapolis.

Secondly, he said that he believesthe graduates of Vilianova Collegeand other Colleges of similar stand-ing will be more than able to holdtheir own with the graduates ofthe Naval Academy.

Commandant to VisitVice Admiral Kauffman, Com-

mandant of the Fourth Naval Dis-trict, will visit the campus on De-cember 17, for an inspection ofthe NROTC unit. It Is also ex-{»ected that he will deliver a talko the Midshipmen at the Armorylocated in Alumni Hall.Captain Thomas expects to un-

dergo an eye operation in the nearfuture depending upon the resultsof consultation with physicians. Hehas been operated en before for thesame trouble and If another op-eration is necessary he will be hos-pitalized for a few weeks.

Joke of the WeekThe other day in Religion class

Jim Cahlll was asked what vowswere taken by a couple about to be'married. Jim promptly answered,"the vow of poverty." This waspromptly confirmed by the marriedmen of the class.

Mail ScarceDon Leyman received a letter

several days ago and upon openingit he found that it was a letterthat he had written to his motherthe day before and which he hadaddressed to himself. What somefellows won't do to get mail.Before we go this week we would

like to leave a bit of homespunlogic with our loyal readers . . . Re-member that some grow under re-sponsibility . . . Others merelyswell! (Wheels, please take note.)

page nine of an eight page issueThat edition was the same one

that was turned to and fro byeveryone so that they could readthe French, Latin and English wit-ticisms of John Kucha. Severalpeople have approached us andasked us for some informationabout "the Mad Columnist." Wehave nothing to say on the subjectexcept that said character is soconfident that he does crosswordpuzzles with a fountain pen, andthat he is so crooked he can sleepcomfortably on a corkscrew . . .

Well, they say it takes all kindsto make up the world . , ,

Korny KearneyThe Library Fund Dance on No-

vember 17th was really a swellaffair, despite the fact that themusic was punctuated occassion-ally by the snore of some slumber-ing frosh. This was perhaps thefirst time that those fellows werelulled to sleep by a band playingbeneath their balcony. Never letit be said that Vilianova doesn'ttreat its freshmen good.Matt Kearney tried, and we

might add succeeded, to snow thosepresent with corn. In other wordshe was the witty M. C. for theevening. More successful than hisjokes was his ability to give awaythousands of dollars. Harry Ed-wards we're told (by Harry) wouldbe satisfied if he could get themoney back he paid for tickets . . .

Bill Altenpohl was wearing a Bigsmile for he sold a ticket that wasgood for one hundred frogskins.

Seniors Turn OutThe Seniors were well represent-

ed that night right from presidentDan "it was my turn with Sue"Redmond down to Newt Ward whowas picking up spending money bycollecting at the door.Joe Brogan gave us a big "Hi

Ya." We only had to chase him forfive minutes. These seniors get moresociable every day . . . Larry Fallonhad a cute bundle of charm wtihhim for a change so he made surethat we spotted him . . . And afterthe dance we saw Tob Hanrattywandering all over the place look-ing for his date. We don't blamethe poor girl for walking home . . .

Other Classes RepresentedBiU Ambrogi was there putting

on a dance exhibition for some ofthe squares . . . Several othersthat we spied were Nell McGee, BillRooney, Jack Hellman, Syl Yamelll,Jim O'Brien, Jack Applegate andJoe Roberts. Incidentally Joe's carlooked like a fugitive from a fun-eral procession. It was the biggestthing that we saw all night, ex-cluding our dates. . . .

Thru the MillThe Mill seemed to be the popu-

lar place after the dance, and therewere two parties down there thatwere really having a go5d time.One of these parties consisted ofDick Livingston, Jim McNamara,Jim Lyons and Ed Fitzgerald. Theother party was made up of Jim"the crowd" Mullen (his blondehair a mass of waves), Bob Mani-fold and Frank McBride. Jim musthave been really on that night for

Adding to the novelty of theService number, which was dedi-cated to the Armed Forces, the ex-GI members of the band rose,ploying, as their band struck theirrespective service themes. Applausefrom the audience greeted eachgroup.The climax of the evening was

istration Training Otticer. Mr. Har-

ris, formerly bombardier with the

lege, but also at Haverford College

Mr. Harris may be contacted In

Room 111, Mendel Hall. He urges

veteran students to stop in and dis-

cuss their problems.From time to time Mr. Harris

wil,l reach the students through this

ing.

Capriotti Makes 1st Team AH Catholic-All America

By BOB McXAMABAWith the close of another

, football campaign the gigan-

tic task of selecting all star

aggregations is under way.Despite the fact that prac-

tically all Villanova's representa-tives turned in stellar performances

' throughout the season, they had to

content themselves with the cub'saihare of recognition.Pavaiko Receives Most HonorsGeorge Pavaiko was leading hon-

or the man on this year's team. He' received honorable mention onthe All Eastern squad andin doing so received more

' votes than Joe Steffy, Army'sbrilliant guard. For the supert^jobthat George turned in*against Mar-

' quette University he was voted theonly unanimous choice on the Hill-

topper's All Opponent team. Paval-ko's aggressive play received its

greatest recognition when he re-

ceived honorable mention on the> recently published Associated PressAll American team. This was in

great part due to the outstandingperformance that Pavaiko turnedIn against Holy Cross, that broughthim acclaim as the nation's out-

standing guard that week.Three Backs Named

Romeo Capriotti, Joe Rogers andBob Polidor also received honor-able mention on the AP's All Amer-ican.

When the ^annual North - Southclash tak«^ place in Dixieland the28th of this month, Villanova's cap-tain, Bill Sullivan, may be on handto help the North's cause. Bill hasnot as ye't announced his accept-ance or rejection of this invitation.

"Cap" Picked by Detroit CoachCharles Baer, coach of Detroit

University's fine football team, hasnominated Capriotti for the All

Catholic AU-American team. Al-

though the final selections have notbeen published, everything points

In Cap's favor for obtaining one of

the coveted berths on this starstudded squad.At this writing these are all the

published individual honors. How-ever, Marquetto Is the only schoolon our recently concluded schedulethat hM announced Its all op-ponent team, so when our otheropponents inaka public the best

they've faced, there is every reasonto believe that Villanova's gridmenwill be accorded the recognitionthey've truly earned.Villanova's best showing came

last Friday when Associated Pressreleased its All-Pennsylvania team.There was a wildcat nominated forevery position except tackle. AgainPavaiko showed the way holdingdown a first team berth. Capriottiwas voted the number 5 back beingshaded in the voting by Jack Criderof Muhlenberg. The members ofVillanova's team included in theHonorable Mention list were: Bill

Sullivan at end Milt Komarnickicenter and Joe Rogers back.Romeo Capriotti was given the ad-ditional honor of being selected to

the first team All Catholic AU-American. The other three backswere Johnny Lujak, Notre Dame;Herman Wedemeyer, St. Mary's;and Bob Hall, San Francisco. Villa-

nova was fourth in the nation'sCatholic schools, following NotreDame, Boston College and St.

Mary's.Tuesday evening, December 3. at

the annual football dinner, GeorgePavaiko and Romeo Capriotti wereeach recipients of awards, whileBill Sullivan received two muchdeserved honors.

Bill Sullivan, senior in the Com-merce and Finance School here at

football season. In addition to this

he alsq received the Alumni awardfor the senior who has done themoet for the football team this year,

Ross Beats Kelley

Foderick to Break

Nine Mile RecordBy PAT SPLANE

At 2:00 P. M., Thursday,

Nov. 28, a group of this hem-

isphere's greatest distance

runners started the Berwick

marathon. Browning Ross,Villanova's freshman track star, led

the field right from the start and

finished well out in front to take thefirst prize, which was a $200 dia-

mond ring set in a 14 k, gold band.On that day when most of the na-

tions sport fans were listening to

Of watching their favorite Thanks-giving Day football game, "Brown-ie" was setting a new record for

the nine-and-one-third mile mara-than in Berwick, Pennsylvania. Histime for this annual cross-country

meet was 48:35.

Outlasts Former WinnersRunning second to Ross was the

Canadian, Foderick, who had wonthis particular race for the last

three years in succession. Foderick',

who runs for the Gualt Athletic

Club of Canada, is the CanadianNational Cross-Country Champion.Another Canadian, who also runsfor the Gualt A. C, Scotty Rankin,placed fourth. Scotty is the manwho holds the record for winningthet Berwick marathon the mosnumber of timesl He has the en-

viable record of leading the field

across the finish line five consecu-

tive times.

Third place went to the milkmanfrom Boston, John Kelley. He hastaken many a marathon up NewEngland way and has quite a namefor himself as a distance runner.

John St. Clair, of Fort Dix, N. J.,

placed eighth in the race and had

the distinction of being the first

Pennsylvania man to finish the

race. Consequently, he won the

state prize which is the same as

the second, third, and fourth place

prizes, a $100 diamond ring set in

a 14 k. gold band.Crosses 150 Yards in Load

The long-winded competitors

started off in a group and stayed

bunched-up pretty well for the first

quarter of a mile. Browhy andFoderick took the lead and remain-ed together for most of the race.

Shortly behind them, a small group,

among them Kelley and Rankin,dogged the leaders; and then cameSt. Clair. The rest of the field wasstretched out with none of the run-

ners once challenging the pace-set-

ters. Ross managed to pull awayfrom the Canadian champ goinginto the last mile, and finished agood 150 yards ahead of him.

The set-shot accuracy of JohnBlong, Joe Lord, Shy Raiken,Brooks Ricca, Jim BunH, LeoWolf, Tom Sabol and Joe Behmermakes them excellent material for

this type of play, and probablestarters. All of the afore namedcan be expected to maintain better,

than a .333 average from "far out."

All of these players stand six foot

or above and are excellent In re-

covering the ball from the boards.The recovery and pivot work of

Brooks Ricca deserves special com-ment.

Lord ReadyCaptain Joe Lord appears to be

ready for another great year. Hehas the old "know how" and manyof the younger players are develop-ing this poise under his team lead-

ership. The team is definitely ateam; and, when their play tempor-arily becomes ragged, they call timeout to reorganize.

Leo Wolf is a scrappy player whofrequently steals the ball from op-

posing players. His play will make

47 count.This year might find a dif-

ferent finish. Coach TomLeyden will come to thecampus with a young, green, butinspired team. Of the starting five

announced by Coach Leyden, thereis just one who wore the Purpleand Gold last season, and he hoidsthe distinction of being one of thesmallest men in intercollegiatebasketball, towering 6' 1" above thefloorboards. Chuck Pallai makes upfor his deflciecy in height by bomb-ing the cords from the outside withhis deadly set shots. The remainderof the team is comprised of fourreturning veteran freshmen.

Coach Was All AmericanCoach Leyden, who incidentally,

was chosen the best guard in thecountry in 1936 while playing withthe University of Mississippi, alsohas his share of razzle dazzle onhand in Tom Black, his startingguard. Black is considered by hiscoach as the best ball handler on

4| the team. His running mate atguard will be 6' 2" George Hamer.Rounding out the quintet is Boydat center, and Bob Roedel at theother forward spot. The Rider re-

serves, although lacking in exper-ience are loaded with Talent. Amongthe more talented is Johnny Cot-trell, a 6' 1" freshman who hasshown promise, and Roger Packfrom Thomas Jefferson High Schoolin Newark, N. J., where he wasnamed all state in 1943.

Lauds Villanova's WolfLarry Smith, Art Piffath and

Joe Goeke, all of whom were team-mates of our Leo Wolf at TrentonCatholic, are also representingRider. Mr. Leyden was very em-phatic in his praise for Wolf whohe considers a fine all around ball

player. Much of the Rider talent

was developed by a Villanova alum-nus, Dick Gray, who played hereon the whirlwind teams of '41 and'42. -\-:'-'y..::J

The Record of Al

Severance in Ten

Years at Villanova

By DAN REDMONDWith the basketball opener

just around the corner it

Would seem appropriate to in-

troduce to the newcomers at

Villanova, Al Severance,coach of the Wildcat Basketeers.

Al is etartitig his eleventh seasonas varsity court mentor and prob-

ably the most spectacular way ofIntroducing him would be to pre-sent the record of his Villanovateams. From the time of his ap-pointment In 1936 until the con-clusion of the 1942-43 season (hislast all-civilian squad) his teamswon 122 games and lost only 32for a percentage of .792.

Lost Six In Eight YearsHis freshmen teams over an

eight-year period won over 100games while dropping only six—truly an amazing record. It wason the strength of his success withthe yearlings that he was appoint-ed varsity coach in 1936.Severance's best season as far

as precentage is concerned was1942-43 when co-captains BillyWoods and Bob Kelty paced theWildcats to 19 wins out of 21 en-gagements. Incidentally, Joe Lordand "Major" McDonnell of thisyear's team were members of thathigh-flying aggregation. «

Team Beaches NCAA FinalsHowever, when asked which of

his teams he considered the best,the vociferous coach blandly re-plied, "My 1938-39 club." Thatteam, captained by the lengthyJim Montgomery, knocked out 19opponents and lost to four, andas a result were invited to partici-pate in the NCAA tournament.They advanced to the finals of theEastern section only to lose toOhio State.

The Buckeyes were one of thefour mid-western teams to top Vil-lanova over the entire season; theothers being De Paul, Illinois andLoyola of Chicago. St. John's of

Brooklyn, was the only eastern five

able to do the trick.

Lord on "All Team"Some of the outstanding players

to perform under Coach Severanceat the Main Line School include:

Duke Duzminski, Johnny Krutulis,

and Montgomery from the '38-'39

team; Kelty and Woods from thi•42-'43 outfit; Art Spector and TedRepella who played in 1940-41;

Harry McNally of Severance's first

team and, of course, Joe Lord.

Herman "Chuck" Drlzen, a victim

of a Jap shell on Iwo Jima, within

a week after his decoration, comesin for praise in the coach's book

',

', as one of the best team players

;: to perform here in the last decade.At present, in addition to his

duties as basketball coach, Al Sev-

erance holds office as Justice of

• the Peace in around the Berwynsection of Chester County. "TheJudge" will hold forth in that ca-

pacity for five more years, his

six-year commission not expiring

until 1952.

The Judge Never LeftAl, as an undergraduate at Villa-

nova, performed on the varsity

basketball, boxing and track teams.

He was an Arts student and vale-

dictorian of the class of 1929. Upongraduation he was appointed As-sistant Graduate Manager of Ath-letics, a position which he held un-

til 1932.

In 1932, he was appointed Grad-/ uate Manager of Athletics, a job

which he withdrew from upon his

appointment as varsity basketball

coach In 1936. From 1930 until the

abandonment of Frosh basketball,

he served as Freshman basketball

coach.Although he has no hopes of

emulating the records of some of

his pre-war teams, the gray-thatch-

ed mentor does expect to surpass

the standards of his teams of the

past three years.

Then within the next three years,

he expects to have the Wildcatsright back where they were in the

ante-bellum days.

The 1946Football Team:Record and Highlights

A Review of a Season's Effort That Brought Three

Bowl Bids

By DAV£ RYANWhen Ralph Pasquarlello, Villa-

nova's hard driving fullback,

kicked off to Kings Point MerchantMarine Academy in mid-September,he started more than just a ball

game. He marked at the same timethe begiiihing of one of the zaniest,

most hectic and confusing seasonsthe sport has known. Punctuatedby record breaking of all sorts, up-sets, dark horse success and asurge of the small colleges to theheadlines, the season fulfilled prac-

tically of the experts' phophesies.What was the singularly out-

standing feature of the season is

a matter of conjecture. It remainsfor the Coal Stove League and theBanquet Circuit to argue upon thenational standing of Notre Dameand Army. The problem of the No.1 upset of the season, will have to

be thrashed out ' along with thequestion of just who decided to

turn the "all" selections into ajoke or else to use them as a ventfor their prejudices.

In all, then, the season gave to

the spectators and fans the coun-try over more than they woulddared ask for. In a word—it wasterrlfflc.

While It did not set the sportsworld on fire with an outstandingrecord—six wins, four losses

—

Villanova, In jumping far andabove its pre-war football normal-cy, did make the roar of the Wild-cat heard from Boston to Miami.From its opening game, which in-

agurated the country's collegiateseason, Villanova gave some bril-

liant performances. This, in viewof the fact tfcat the Wildcats tookon one of the most daring sched-ules in collegiate competition, is

indeed a tribute to some of theplayers individually and to theteam collewively. That they cameclose to victory in three of their

four defeats — seven points beingthe widest m8uj:in in these threegames—is proof enough that theWildcats were never outclassed,except by Army, in this harum-scarum season.

Flayers Consistently GoodA herculean task, indeed, it

would be to record more thansketchily the accomplishments ofthe team throughout the autumnand to give each individual his due.In v^pw of the fact, however, thatsome of the so-called football ex-perts seem to have forgotten thatVillanova fielded a team this yearand that Dan Brown, Frank Kane,Bill Lilienthal, Joe Rogers, RomeoCaprfotti, Andy Gordon and othersconsistently played good ball wefeel that It will not be amiss tome;/tion some of the facts for thebenefit of all concerned.No alibis have been offered, nor

will be he, we feel, for the fourdefeats. The fact that injurieshampered Lou Ferry, George GuidaRalph Pasquarlello, Mel Downey,John Sandusky, and sidelined BillySullivan, and Tom Smith, amongothers, for a part of the campaignis offset by the fact that Wildcatopponents suffered injuries too.That Villanova would have writtena better record if it had been atfull serength throughout the yearIs hardly doubted. Injuries throughthe course of a season are almoseas much a part of the game asare missed blocks and assignments—and we have yet to see the per-fect team in action.

Polidor Runs 109 Yds.In big, bold print the name of

Villanova, In the person of BobPolidor, will have to be logged In

the season's record bool^ For thesingularly outstanding and thrilling

effort of not only Vilanova's butthe entire country's football sea-son was Polidor's 109 yard returnof Miami's Harry Ghauls kickofT.

Taking the ball so deep in theend zone that is foot was nearlyover the line, Polidor, with a super-sonic burst of speed and aided bygood blocking, shot up the middleto the 20, then veered to his rightfor the sidelines and was off foraerials from Tucker and Davis,scored this year.

It was the first time In fifteen

years that such yardage had beenrecorded for one run. In scamper-ing the entire length of the field

plus, Polidor duplicated the featperformed by Edmund Jack Burkeof Mississippi in 1931.

Feature Service TeamsThe Main Liners opened their

53rd intercollegiate football seasonby engaging three service acade-mies on successive weekends. Tear-ing through an inferior MerchantMarine team, which had a sea-

son's record of seven defeats andfour wins, the Wildcats r.icked

up a, 40-6 victory In thelrJ first

outing. Defeats at the hands of

Army—35-0—and Navy—7-0 follow-

ed In that order on the followingtwo Saturdays.Coach Jordan Ollvar turned his

charges loose upon the Marinersbefore a Homecoming Day crowdof 12,000 and the result was, In-

deed, favorable to the Alumni pre-sent. Ollie used more than threeteams against the Invaders andscored in every period.Six touchdowns were produced

by the Wildcats, Joe Rogers tallied

twice and Ralph Pasquarlello,Romeo Caprlotti, Dan Brown andBill Zehler notched one apiece.Barker Successfully converted fourtimes.

Then came the Black Knights of

the Hudson!

'Cats Outplay Army Second TeamThe fact that Michie Stadium

probably hadn't seen so much rainsince Noah was hunting for MountArarat added considerably to thewoes of the Wildcats, for there is

good reason to believe that dryweather would have worked moreto Villanova's advantage than to

Army's. The Cadets, one of the fewteams in the country capable ofliving up to pre-game publicitynotices, just had "it" from startto finish, with barely a weaknessshowing In any position, and camethrough as was expected.Barney Poole scored twice on

aerials fronr Tucker and Daviss,and Fuson hit the line for six

points. Blanchard and Davis gotone each. Blanchard divided thepoint-after duties with Mackmullfor a perfect day at the crossbar.Villanova's deepest penetrations

were to the Cadet 27 and 29 yardlines. Caprlotti and Pasquarlellowere fairly well bottled up. Severalshort but hard runs by Rogers andSchrieber and a twenty yard gallopby Dost were the best Wildcatoffensive offerings of the day.Frank Kane, playing bis usual

rock'em-sock'em brand of ball,

blasted Arnold Tucker with asavage tackel after the former hadcaught one of Capriotti's punts in

the third period to give Villanovarooters one of their few joyfulmoments of the' afternoon.

Main Liners Lose On FumbleFrom the Hudson, the Wildcats

travelled to the Severn to meetthe third of the service academies,N^y. As far as most Villanovanswere concerned, this was the de-

feat that rankled most because:1) they felt that the Wildcatsshould have won by one, perhapstwo, touchdowns; 2) It loomedlarger with each successive Navydefeat and reached its peak in thepre-Army-Navy game publicity.

Wildcat misplays enabled theMiddies to ring up their one andonly victory of the season. Outof a total of six Villanova fumbles,four were recovered by Navy. Oneset up the first Middle touchdownand the others put the skids underBlue and White offensive thrusts.

Roy Russell, sub Navy end, grab-bed a Villanovo bobble on theWildcat 13 yard line. Jack Welsh,Villanova halfback in 1943, work-ing from the T, quarterbacked his

team across to paydirt within five

plays. Welsh himself took the ball

to the 18, From there he heaveda later as to Al McCuUy, whorunded end to the five.

Williams Soorefl

Pistol Pete Williams drove fromthere to the one foot line. Hawkinsslammed over for the six pointer.

E. Newbold Smith converted for

the point-after. That was all thescoring for the day.Constantly threatening, the Wild-

cats had all the air of being able

to explode with a scoring playat any time. The nearest to reality

this came, however, was in themiddle of the third period whenRomeo Caprlotti, on his first playof the ball game, burst off tackle

for 34 yards on a brilliant run to

carry to the Middies' 20 yard line.

The attack stalled there.

When the Middies and the Wild-cats put on their AIphonse-Gastonact in the early stages of the game,the latter did manage to gaintemporary possession of the ball onthe Navy 21. On the first play fol-

lowing Mel Downey's recovery of

William's bobble, the Wildcatsfumbled and Navy recovered to

put an abortive end to Villanovatochdown chanoes from that point.

'Cats Hit Strlcle

Having had their fill of the serv-

ice academies, Villanova took onfour Jesuit colleges in succession

themselves — the ones who really

knew what he was doing to their

team. George has also been chosenas the first string right guard onthe All-State team. Some sportscribes have compared this Wildcatfreshman to Villanova's ImmortalEddie Michaels. The two other

honors that he was voted Into bythe master-minds of football are:

honorable mention on the All-East

team, and honorable mention for

the A.P. Ail-American right guardposition. Both of these selections

were richly deserved.In a meeting shortly before the

banquet, the football team bymeans of a secret ballot, chose

the man they considered as the

most valuable player of the year.

The results of this vote remained asecret until the night of the ban-quet. There it was announced that

the most valuable player of the

year, In his teammates opinion, wasnone other than the man who hadbeen the brains of the team, andhad caused many a crowd to cometo their feet by his spectacular

runs, Romeo Caprlotti. In addition

to this Caprlotti also received the

distinction of landing the secondstring right halfback position oi\

the All-State team.Although Bill Sullivan will leave

Vlllanovas' campus at the culmina-^

tion of his studies this semester,both George Pavalko, who joinedthe team this year, and "(3ap" Cap-rlotti, who quarterbacked last

year's team from the right halfbackpost, will say "here" when nex^year's football roll is called.

The other members of the teamalso did their part in grabbingsome of the spotlight as the feature

of the evening at the banquet onTuesday evening. Tom Clavin le<\

his teammates In the singing of afew songs, and then played the partof "the substitute" in a little skit.

As a "benchwarmer" who wore him-self out warming up at the coach's

orders and then finally collapsed

from over-exhaustion when finally

told to "get in there and fight." Hemade quite a hit. ^

The Head Coach, Jordan Ollvar,

was the number one speaker of the

evening. After introducing each ofthe Wildcats to the guests present,

and handing out a few well deserv-

ed flowers, he bestowed his praia*

on the team as a team, for their

teamwork.

jIn The Sportlight

[.!, By JIM PLUNKETT i|»

FOOTBALL TEAMContinned • Psfe Serea

Before the sportlight shifts to

spot our basketball luminaries,

we'll let It focus on a man whoplayed inspired ball this year, his

last at Villanova.

Zig Gory—a New Englander whohails from Whitinville, Mass. —started his football career at North-bridge High School where he star-

red at center for three years. Be-cause of his superlative brand of

play and his team spirit, he waselected captain in his senior year

and led his team to an undefeat-

ed season.

In September 1941, he matriculat-

ed at the Villanova Commerce andFinance School. When candidates

for the Freshman football teamwere called, Zig was among the first

to answer. In pre-season scrim-

mages the fierce offensive and de-

fensive power he displayed won for

him a starting berth on the fresh-

man eleven.

The following year he played un-

der Clipper Smith and despite the

fact that Zig understudied ArtAlois, he saw a lot of action. In

1943f when Jordan Olivar took over

the coaching reins, Zig was the

bright spot in a rather dismal cam-paign. On more than one occa-

sion his sterling line play won the

praises of his opponents.

In late December of 1943 Zig en-

tered the Navy and after a short

period of preliminary training at

Asbury Park, he was sent to Mid-shipman's school at Columbia Uni-versity. Soon after the Initial foot-

ball call. Zig assured hinuielf of

a berth in the Lions' starting line-

up. After making a very goodshowing in the first four games. In-

juries kept him idle the remainderof the year.

Gory was commissioned in Feb-ruary of 1945, and extensive Atlan-tic duty on an LST followed be-

fore he received his discharge In

the spring of 1946.

He reentered Villanova in October

1946 and immediately set out to re*

gain his familiar pivot post. Hiij

long absence had its effects on Zig's

grid game and he was not used as

extensively In the early games as

his pre-war skill would have war-

ranted. However Zig went on un*

daunted, a^d his untiring efforts

paid dividends when towards th^

seasons' end, Zig began to show the

football savvy that marks him as aconsistently good performer. Irf

the Florida game he shook the last

of the war-infiicted kinks out of his

game and proved that he is really

a tough man backing up the line.

"* Like lightning, Villanova struckfor two scores in the openingminutes of the game. On the fi^th•play after Frank Kane returnedthe kickoff to the Blue and White28 Tom McCarthy swept around'end from the seven for a touch-down. Rogers' 47 yard run fea-tured this drive.

* Marquette fubled the followingkickoff and John Sandusky recover-ed for Villanova, on the visitors' 23.

'Capriotti's touchdown pass toKane and Barker's extra pointgave the Wildcats a 13-0 lead.•From 6:15 of the first period the

Barkei's Conversions HelpAl Barker's conversions were

.*the deciding polntts In Villanova'sfirst victory ovef Holy Cross. Thefinal score, 14-13, tells the story of'a hard fought and evenly contestedgame.The Crusaders scored first then

•the Wildcats evened things upearly in the second period. Latein that same period the Crusaders

'roared back for another touch-down, but failed to make the extrapoint, the ball hitting the cross-

-bar and bounding back on to thefield.

In the third period Andy Gordon'heaved a very wet ball to DanBrown, who gathered It In on theten and fought his way for the

• score.For their play at Worcester, the

Wildcats were highly commended' by many sports writers. GeorgePavalko was especially recognized,being selected as the outstandingguard In the country the week fol-lowing the Holy Cross game.

Rogers Scores Two• Although not facing the fierceand rugged competition of the pre-vious week, Villanova's 19-2 victory

*over Georgetown's Hoyas was,nonetheless, well deserved becauseinjuries either hampered or side-

• lined many of the Wildcats.Blocking, and tackling were at

their best and Brown and Kane• deserve special commendation forthe blocks they threw in the opento clear the way for Noe Rogers onhis touchdown jaunts.Rogers and Caprlotti chalked up

one each in the first period andf Rogers came back Tor another inthe final quarter.

Ghaul ScoresHarry Ghaul scored 14 points for

the Hurricanes and sparked the at-tack of the invaders throughoutthe contest. Billed as one of thecountry's outstanding punters,Ghaul proved himself, at leastagainst Villanova, to be even moreof a leading light among bail car-riers.

hurled back by Miami followingthe final tally of the ball game.Billy Sullivan and Bill Lilienthal,

along with Dan Brown and Polidorwere particularly outstanding forthe Wildcats.

Win Last TwoFor the final two games of the

season Villanova took to the road.<And apparently the travel in lateseason did nothing to harm thegood play of the Main Liners. Theyoverran Detroit, 23-6, and out-scored Florida, 27-20.

Detroit entered the game as thenation's third leading team in rush-ing offense, and for the first timethis season came out of the gametrailing the opposition in this de-partment.From al reports, the Wildcats

had to contend with the officialsas well as the Titans. In the finalanalysiss, though,h that made littledifference. In every phase of thegame hto Blue and White took thelead.

Pasquarlello ScoresOn the first play of the ball

game, Ralph Pasquarlello, drovedownfield for 69 yards. Thisseemed to have set the Titans reel-ing. At 2:10 of the opening periodVillanova had a 7-0 lead, Ralphhaving slammed over.Eight plays after the kickoff,

Detroit retaliated with a tochdown,but failed at the conversion.Pavalko and McCarthy teamed

up on Schmidt to dump him In theendzone for a safety in the secondperiod.

Polidor intercepted a pass andraced 28 yards for a score andPasquarlello slammed over fromthe one, following Zehler's 16 yaidrun, In the final quarter.

York and he was in time to catoha front seat on the Miller sky-rocket. For four years he roomedwith Glenn Miller and all Good-man's predictions came true In1942 Miller suggested that *Halstart band of his own. Seeing thatGlenn proved there's no limit tosuccess, he decic^d to give it atry, and so, the Hal Mclntyre bandwas formed.

The first date, late in 1941, wasat Glen Island Casino in Larch-mont, known then and today as the"cradle of great bands." From thereHal moved to the CommodoreHotel in New York and beganrecording for Victor. The recordsclicked and the Mclntyres went onto make four feature-length moviesat the Columbia studios.

While In Hollywood, he per-formed at the band mecca, thePalladium. He has since appearedat the Sherman in Chicago, theParamount and Strand Theatres onCity, and many others. Hal Mc-brook, the Cass Manana in CulverBroadway, Frank Dailey's Meadow-Intyre and his orchestra also star-red on a network commercial spon-sored by Everaharp. After a fewyearss, Hal began recording forCosmo, and became their tip band.

Birthday Ball BandOne honor Hal cherished was

his selection to play the President'sBirthday Ball in Washington,* D.C,. at which the late President andMrs. Roosevelt appeared.

When the late Glenn Miller died,his music didn't perish along withhim. Hal Mclntyre is one of themost noted disciples carrying onthe style of the great Miller. Sevenyears ago when Hal joined the Mil-ler band that was to become themost famous in the country hesparked the reed section that wasalways the outstanding character-istic of the Miller men.Hal considers the time he spent

with the Miller orchestra most val-uable. Miller's vision and keenmusical understanding, togetherwith his fine executive ability, madehim the perfect teacher. He learneda great deal from Miller and feelsthat he will always be indebted tohim.

Miller's InfluenceHal Mclntyre feels that Miller's

influence is the reason for his own !

desire to have a great all-aroundband. He feels that there is

happy medium in music and it ci

be styled to please both sweejlovers and hot-devotees. Hal coii

tends that the modern band muslplease the widest audience.To paraphrase a cliche, a ban(

leader's best friend is his recordlHal Mclntyre has a knack o\knocking out one record hit aftelanother. In the last few years i\

has been clearly demonstrated thaithefe is no Kuh-'"!- " • udsIn terms of reaching the iop of thii

musical ladoci. a.^.^....-^ .„ . . notime in getting on the recordingHit Parade. His band was just 4few months old when Victor, thtop company, signed him. He scorewith "Commando Serenade" am'hit the top with his recording o"Sentimental Journey." This recoiwas No. 1 nationally. . ,

Recently, the Mclntyre's switch*ed to Cosmo and was given th^premiere band position on its rost^er. He immediately came througliwith three top hits: "The Gypsyj**

"Cement Mixer" and "There's NoOne But You." With his knack o}fashioning wax hits, Hal Mclntyrahas little to worry about in hifl

climb to success.Unique Styling

Hal Mclntyre's music is in a clasgby itself. It's unique because McfIntyre has his own Ideas on bandand music. He holds that there i

no successful challenge to thsweet trend. He has been mixinismooth ballads with the loudeland faster numbers, but since th(public wants the sweet trend, hehas tried to hit upon the happj^medium.his calls for a higher standard ofarranging and a tendency toward amarriage of jazz and classical. Kihpecially towards the classical musi4of the great moderns like Shost^kovich, Sibelius and Debussey. Halhas been weaving this new classicalmodern flavor into his scores anQthe reaction on recbrds and in hUpersonal appearances ha« beenfor it.
