All Holy Name men in the ciry rake parr in this popular celebration, including facu lty members a nd students of rhe University. The feast of Christ the King occurs on the last Sunday in October. It was instituted to give public homage ro Christ, the Ruler of the world, by Pope Pius XI in 1925. Every year, on this day, is renewed the consecration of the world to the Sacred Heart. The Vercelli Medal was presented to Mr. Collins early in January by the Most Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle, Arch­ bishop of Washington, before a distinguished audience.

The past few months saw the advent of three new head coaches on the Georgerown scene, all distinguished by their youth and ability. Briefly, here are some jottings about your Georgerown coaches. Bob Margarita's rwenty-eighr years have been alive with football associations. He was a great scholastic back at Med­ ford High in Ma~sachusetts, displaying at an early age the ~gi lir y and pigskin knowledge which was co polish. him Into a brilliant performer with Brown and the Ch1cago Bears. He attended prep school at Scarborough before· going ro Brown in 1940, where he was among the cop New Eng­ land halfbacks in 1941 and 1942. His years with the Chicago Bears were highlighted in 1945 when he made the all-pro ream. Playing in a star­ scudded backfield that included Sid Luckman, George McAfee and Gary Famiglietti, Bob piled up a ground gain­ ing average of considerable potency and field-generalled the Halasmen on numerous occasions. Luckman co this day credits Margarita for much of the Bears' backfield success. Jack Prendergast, end coach, is welcomed to Hilltop by Bob "Bob was all over rhe field," the ex-Columbia passing whiz Margarita will tell you. "He was great, willing, smart and aggressive. He will be one of the wp college coaches in time." He became perhaps the greatest ballhandler in Georgerown Bob followed his stay with the Bears by assisting Dick 111Srory, sparked the great clubs in 1941 and 1942, and won Harlow at Harvard (after picking up his war-delayed de­ a high place in the All-America ratings. gree at Brown in 1945.
