W s t u d e n t When w e f irst appeared, in February, 1947, w e e x -B pressed the hope t h a t w e could, in s o m e smal l measure, re-f f leet t h e needs and desires t h a t y o u yourselves made s o

evident. T o u greeted our appearance, and offered us wel­come support a t every small and large cris is w e went through during the past f ew years .

In essence, the tri-weekly Observatioa P e s t i s a tr ibute t o you .

This three page document was compiled at the College during the spring term last year. It's filled'with those little pieces ot miscellaneous information that make Math 63 students wring their bands in dismay.

Take this fajtpnatlng fact: 30% of our students come to school by bus, 55% by subway, and 7% by car. (7# are lucky enough to live near enough to walk). Then there are the lr/e who come to school by other means.' It is rumored that*some membe<s of the OP Managing Board fly to school by pogo stick.

times weekly. Among the most widely-used brands of shaving cream are Colgate (24*/), Palm-olive (15%), and those perennials, soap (11%) and dry shave (137<). To slice his whiskers, the average male student prefers the Gillette blade (39.5^) and the Schick in­jector (16.5%).

The average male student must be a very calculating person. When he shops he has to t e care­ful With his expenditures, be­cause he has only $5il0 weekly to spend for items other than lunches or carfare. If he works, he earns $15 per week. He must save enough for 1.8 suits, 4.4 shirts, and 22 pairs of shoes p^r year.

The figures also show that the average Jane Doe buys 40 pairs of stockings, and 4.5 pairs of shoes per year.

"We expect to do well against local competition." says Coach Jack Rider of his '4S-50 swim­ming team, "inA our out-of-town opponents will give us trouble.' The schedule shows; however, that the mermen meet only one non-metropolitan school all year, Seton Hall, in the season's opener Saturday, Dec 8, so taking Rid er's word for it, there's smooth splashing ahead.

Making, life difficult for the team is the problem of where to practice. The contemplated dos­ing of the College pool Dec. 15 means that the boys will havb to scramble for trial runs in oppo-sitkm ta»»%T

With only one man lost from last year's squad, the Lavender has a good chance of returning to its Met titlist ways of 1917-48. The schedule consists of eight dual meets and the Metropolitan Championships March 4.

On Saturday afternoon. Nov. 19. a memorable, moment in the College's athletic history was recorded on the Lewisohn Stadium gridiron. There were no ceremonies, no heart-touching speeches, no twenty-one gun salutes, but even so, every onlooker at that City-NYU football game witnessed the climax of the college career of the most remarkable football performer ever to participate for the Lavender, "Mr. FootbalT of the Beavers, Leo Wagner.

Leo's story is an oft-told one; that of a freshman who bad never. played high school football stepping into the lineup dL a college' eleven and blazing a record which is unequalled in the annals of City College football history.

The amazing Mr. Wagner, who led the team in ground gaining; passing, kicking and scoring in 1947 and 1948, once again copped all honors in his senior year. Leo, who has been honored by recognition • in the recent MWho's Who in the Colleges," has been a grid superman

.35 far as Beaver football is concerned. .'! . Aftually, we realize that no one man makes up a team. No mat-'.

tor bow exceptional a runner may be, he'll go nowhere without blocking. No matter how good a passer may be, hell have very little success without adequate receivers. But even with this in mind we still must tout Leo highly. Many other men have played. for the Beavers, but as for individual standouts, there are very few, if any, who have readied his heights. Last year, even as a member. of a losing team Leo compiled 980 yards un total offense, making'. him the fourth ranking back in the entire EH* A- Another item to his credit is that in this day of assembly line substitution, he has been good for an entire game; equally adept at defense as on the attack. [

Now that Wagner has ended his brilliant exploits at the Colleee. the OP staff wodd like to take Has opportunity- to congratulate a fine ball player on his outstanding record. We believe that during;. his four years here Leo has shown superlative ability and deserves' recognition b£ being selected to the Little-All-American team which is chosen at the. conclMien of each season. .Trying to show our appreciatioa in the way we know best, OP has forwarded a letter to the seteethm codtmittee giving our support to Leo Wagner.

We sincerely hepe that be receives the credit and glory which he deserves. -There couldnt be a finer fellow to bestow the honor on.
