Page 5 ''Vidit Mirabilia Magna! Those three Latin words are from the heraldic shield of Xavier University. Freely translated they state: He has seen great wonders. Tonight I want to tell you of a vision of great wonders that has endured for 125 years in the eyes of the men who beheld it." After reviewing the history of the Uni versity, Father O'Connor continued: "Why was this university founded .^^ Why have people supported it through the years .^ Why does it show great promise of ever growing service to the community and the Nation.?

In honor of Xavier University's 125th Anniversary, which actually occurred on October 17, commemorative events were scheduled throughout '56. Notable is the address delivered before the Newcomen Society in North America in April by the Very Rev. Paul L. O'Connor, S.J., Xavier's President. Father O'Connor began,

"For the answer, we must reflect on the un changing vision that has inspired its educa tional philosophy for 125 years. Bishop Fenwick, Bishop Purcell, President Elet, and all their successors who bridge the years be tween could step into a Xavier classroom to day, talk with a Xavier professor, quiz a Xavier student, and find that the super natural destiny of man is still the supreme fact around which all knowledge is ordered and oriented." After referring to changes in subjects taught at the University particularly in the sciences, Father O'Connor concluded: "Things tonight on the Xavier campus are as they were 125 years ago. Men with a desire to serve God and their fellowman— men with a dedication to the search for truth —men with a vision of supernatural things Page 6 their product will also possess virtue and character. Of each of their students they hope to say, as was said of the University's great patron, St. Francis Xavier, Vidit Mira bilia Magna. 'He has inquired into righteous ness and has seen great wonders'." In April, too, the University sponsored the national convention of the American Catholic Philosophical Association, of which a Xavier alumnus. Dr. Vincent Smith, professor of philosophy at Notre Dame University, was president. Shortly thereafter the Xavier University News published a large special issue given over to the school's 125th Anniversary. At the 1956 Commencement honorary de grees were conferred upon the Ambassador from Germany, Mr. Heinz Krekeler, and upon Cincinnati's Mr. Neil McElroy, chair man of President Eisenhower's White House Conference on Education. On October 17, the birthday of the Uni versity, undergraduates gathered in the Field- house for an anniversary convocation, which featured an address by the Most Rev. Clarence G. Issenmann, Auxiliary Bishop of Cincinnati. Mayor Charles P. Taft extended Bishop Issenmaiui addresses the Anniversary the city's congratulations, and the Rev. Convocation.

It wasn't until the last 54 seconds that the opening day crowd of 9,000 saw Roger Bertoia put the game on ice by a ten-yard flip to Steve Junker. Until then Xavier's fans had watched the Muskies, featuring a squad of 36 players, 18 of them sophomores, flounder around the field for three dismal quarters. In that time the visitors managed to push across one touchdown on a one yard sneak by quarterback Ralph Tite and pick up another two points on a safety. Their two other drives were stopped on the five and eight yard lines. But the fourth quarter was a different CO-CAPTAIN BILL MCCLOSKEY story.

Konkoly and the strong right arm of Roger Bertoia finally gave Xavier its win. Big Bob piled up a total of 104 yards in sixteen tries and hauled in a 19 yard pass from Bertoia in Xavier's final touchdown drive. Bertoia led the Muskies to two quick touchdowns in the last period, scoring the first himself. XAVIER 30 - MARSHALL 6 Needled to near perfection by the demands of Coach Connolly, the Muskies thumped their way to a decisive 30-6 victory over Marshall College. It was an all-out team effort that gave Xavier its eighth straight football victory, as the Muskies pushed over a score in every quarter. Iron-man Konkoly once again led the offensive drive as he bulled his way for 104 yards from scrimmage. He also kicked three points after touchdown and added a field goal from the eight yard line. A Ralph Lane pass to John Silvati ac counted for X's first touchdown. Not to be outdone by his understudy, Rog Bertoia flipped the next touchdown pass to end Bob Young.

Rog, beside eight game winning streak, as a tough Miami team won, 14-7. The Miami line was geared to one thing, and it did that. It stopped Konkoly. While Miami was bottling up Malone on the move. Xavier's running attack, Miami's quarter back, Tom Dimitroff, who has been a real three-season headache for Xavier, engineered two Redskin touchdowns. Xavier opened the scoring in the first quarter on a beautiful 37-yard pass from Rog Bertoia to Steve Junker. But from there on in, the Muskies couldn't manage to penetrate Miami's line. What ground Xavier did pick up through the air was nulli fied by the big Miami forward wall. Halfback George Scott and quarterback Tom Dimitroff teamed up to give Miami its two touchdowns. The combination worked twice in the second half, the first touchdown coming on a one-yard pitchout and the second on a 43-yard pass from Dimitroff. XAVIER 31 - OHIO 7 Capitalizing on three good breaks, a fumble, an errant pass, and a blocked kick, the oppor tunity-minded Muskies walloped Ohio Uni versity, 31 to 7. It was the Muskies' third win in four games. Rugged Russ Goings gave Xavier its first scoring chance. Russ pounced on a loose ball Page 118 long runs, distant passing strikes, savage blocking, and bone-bending tackles. Heroes blossomed by the dozen as Xavier rolled to victory. The biggest thrill of the game and the play that broke the Bearcats' back came when Terry Malone grabbed a U.C. kickoff and dashed 95 yards to paydirt. Terry's run came when the score was a close 21 to 14. Rog Bertoia, Xavier's tiny field general, once again played a brilliant game, picking up 48 yards in 13 carries and scoring two touchdowns. Steve Junker, Xavier's big end, played an outstanding game on defense. XAVIER 13 - QUANTICO 27 "It's mine!" The Quantico Marines, spewing gilt-edged talent all over Xavier Stadium, blitzed the Muskies with three first half touchdowns and then rolled on to a 27-13 win. The mighty calling a beautiftil game, ran for one touch Marines, featuring such big names as Ron down himself and passed for two more.

The second half was a different story as ^•^Si, the Aggies came out on the field a better team. They scored two touchdowns on a couple of passes from quarterback Walt Callahan. But Xavier's three touchdowns, plus another one added on a pass from Lane to Krebs, proved too much for the Aggies. XAVIER 34 - LOUISVILLE 14 The air-minded Musketeers, featuring two tremendous quarterbacks, stuck together three fumbles with four touchdown passes to come up with one of the most thorough wins of their campaign. The Muskies' two quar terbacks, Rog Bertoia and Ralph Lane, con nected for ten of 16 passes for a total of 180 yards. Xavier's first score, ironically enough, came on a four-yard run by Faust Coyle. Page 121 Frank Bachman Roger Bertoia Denny Davis Lane added Xavier's fifth score on a pass to Riley. Louisville, playing most of the second half against second and third stringers, managed to push across two touchdowns in the last half. XAVIER 0 - KENTUCKY 33 For the first time in nineteen games, the Muskies, who had unbelievably blitzed and outgained many opponents, went down to a Dave Josephic Steve Junker shutout defeat, 33 to 0. For four quarters, Xavier, led by Rog Bertoia, stormed every where possible on the field except over the goal line. Costly mistakes—fumbles, penal ties, intercepted passes—cost the Muskies when the blue chips were down. Bertoia, playing his last game for Xavier, along with eight other seniors, accounted for a total of 207 yards, to give him a record- breaking seasonal total of 1068. This topped the previous high of 1064, established by George Gilmartin in 1950. Kentucky, capitalizing on fumbles and intercepted passes, played brilliant football and moved through Xavier's defense at will. The final consensus was that Kentucky played good football and deserved to win— Bob Konkoly but not by 33 points.

A new sophomore developed in the person of jumping Corny Freeman. Xavier rooters, who had been hearing for over a year how good Corny was, saw the De Porres' jumping jack pull down 24 rebounds and make a total of 22 points. Two seniors, John Albrinck and Frank Tartaron, gave Freeman big assists. Albrinck hit for 16 points and "Tar" dropped in 12. The Muskies, playing their usual run, run, run game, were red hot from the field, hitting 38 out of 89 shots for a 43% average. XAVIER 111 - SPRING HILL 61 The Muskies were even hotter in their second game, as they hit the nets for a torrid 111 points—a new school record. It was a team victory for the speed demon Muskies, as six men hit in the double figures. Captain Jimmy Boothe, Xavier's candidate DONALD RUBERG, Freshman Coach CAPTAIN JIMMY BOOTHE Page 127 for All-American honors, led the scoring with 17 points.

At one point in the second half, Bellarmine John Albrinck played the Muskies off their feet and took a 37 to 32 lead. Then Xavier netted fifteen straight points to pull out of danger. Boothe was high man again, pouring in 24 points. The Muskies' shooting average was its lowest of the season, 30.1%.

XAVIER 88 - CINCINNATI 62 Before the biggest crowd of the year Ray Tomlin (12,901), the torrid Muskies played a tremen dous brand of basketball to administer one of the worst defeats on record to their cross- town rival, U.C. At one point in the second half, Xavier hit ten straight field goals, pouring the points in as fast as they could run up and down the floor. In the first half, the Bearcats looked as if they were going to put up a real fight. It was evident, however, from the start of the second half, that the Muskies weren't going Franny Stahl to let anyone beat them that night. Led by Boothe and Freeman, they poured in point after point. Freeman led the scoring with 21, Boothe had 20, and Hank Stein had 19.

Scoring honors for the night, however, went to Freeman, whom Wulk had moved into the center position. Corny hit for 21 points and pulled 19 rebounds. XAVIER 91 - CENTENARY 54 Playing their best defensive game of the year, the Muskies hopelessly outclassed and outfought a game Centenary team, 91 to 54. Six Muskies hit in the double figures with Stein and Freeman leading with 13 points each. The Muskies limited Centenary to 26 rebounds, while they pulled in 63. XAVIER 102 - LOYOLA, MD. 76 Once again the fighting Musketeers com pletely outclassed a weaker opponent as they swamped Loyola, 102 to 76. Five Muskies hit in the double figures. Calm and cool Viviano dropped in 19. Freeman had 18. Corny also pulled in 28 rebounds. XAVIER 84 - MIAMI 72 The Muskies outfought a strong Miami team on Miami's own floor—a feat that few teams achieved this year. The scheduled duel between Xavier's Freeman and Miami's Wayne Embry came off in great style. Corny outscored him 26 to 22 points and also out- Tomlin holds his own. Leave i t to Tartaron. go, and the Muskies losing by two points, Viviano, the steady sophomore star from Louisville, dashed down the floor and popped in a driving, almost impossible lay-up. Xavier fans went wild, especially when they heard a whistle on the play. But fate wasn't with the Muskies.

Tony Olberding, still holding on to his starting position, led the Muskies with 18 points. Stein was second with 16, and Boothe had 15. Freeman once again was the big man in rebounding, pulling down 22. Albrinck rises for two. Tartaron tips. Freeman is anxious. XAVIER 57 - CINCINNATI 69 The Muskies took one on the chin from the Bearcats. Everything went wrong for the Muskies as they hit for a meager 27% of their shots and scored a season's low of 57 points. U.C. played tremendous ball before their home crowd and deserved the win. They were particularly sharp on defense, which perhaps accounts for Xavier's low shooting percentage. Wayne Stevens and Connie Dierking had 17 points each for the Bearcats, while Stein led the Muskies with 13. XAVIER 69 - LOUISVILLE 87 The Musketeers reached the low point of their season as they suffered their second straight defeat at the hands of the Louisville Cardinals, 87 to 69. It was a story of just too much height and too good shooting that spelled defeat for the Muskies. With Charley Tyra (6-8) and Jerry DuPont (6-10) sweeping Page 131 the boards, the Cardinals offered too much opposition even for Freeman. To add to the Muskies' woes, Jim Morgan, sporting a 15.5 average got hot and tallied 38 points for the Cards. The only bright spot on the Muskies' side was the re-awakening of Frank Tartaron, who scored 23 points. The Muskies' record was a so-so 13 and 6, two tough games were coming up, and it looked as if they were just about ready to be counted out. XAVIER 69 - DAYTON 61 The Muskies roared back into the national spotlight by taking the Dayton Flyers, 69 to 61. Red-hot Hank Stein, playing the best game of his career to date, gave Xavier the win. Hank made 29 points, approximately one-third of Xavier's total. With time run Stein stands on air. ning out on them, the Flyers took to a full court press.

KJ XAVIER 77 - WESTERN KENTUCKY 71 Averting a near panic in the second half, the Muskies managed to hold on to a narrow lead and squeak past Western Kentucky, 77 to 71, in Western's citadel where visitors rarely win. Sensational scoring and defensive play by guards Stein, Boothe, and Stahl, plus a 28 rebound effort by Freeman gave the Muskies the win. Ahead at one point by a total of 18 markers, Xavier had to fight Page 132 terrific pressure by Western to hold its lead. Stein continued to play like an All-American guard, this time leading the Muskies with 18 points.

Freeman and Viviano accounted for 44 points and 35 rebounds between them. The Muskies came from behind in the last ten minutes to win. Brilliant play by Stahl and Courchaine had much to do with Xavier's win. Stahl came off the bench late in the first half to put the clamps on Guy Rogers, Temple's leading scorer. He also dropped in some timely baskets. Courchaine, subbing for Tartaron, dropped in ten points. XAVIER 64 - SAINT FRANCIS 69 The letdown had to come. After six straight victories over tough opponents, the high flying Muskies were upset by lightly-regarded Saint Francis College. It was the last regular game of the year and left the Muskies with a record of 19 and 7. The alert Frankies swept up Muskie mis takes and turned them into goals. Forwards Viviano and Freeman and Hank Stein at guard—three sophomores in Xavier's start ing lineup—supplied most of the scoring punch with 44 markers. Viviano had 17.
