Wicked Professor Gammons (Rev. pretty damn good. portrayed with collegiate poise by James Project, made me laugh. I hope 1 get to see it Dennis Moran, S.J.) wants tenure and the Maria Fitzgerald plays Roxanne, heroine, Devlin. The part of Wendi's brother, Peter, is undertaken by Michael Zampelli, S.J., in a role that shows one guy who has one hell of a bad day. You see, Peter finds the murdered Fr. Keene (Edward Maloney). What the dearly departed cleric does is leave the Jesuit scholastic with the Poe Papers. Accidentally, Peter gets his new briefcase mixed up with Lester's, and the fun begins. Meanwhile, Roxanne needs a new job and gets help from her hip British pal Azzie (Hugh Welsh). Rox must meet Guy Lewis (Bobby Fitzsimmons) and his stooges at The Lantern about a horse race. But, before the deal can go down, the Scarsdale boys (Michael Springer, John Macaluso) and John Donson (David W. Callahan) come in looking for trouble. There's a fight and then an escape and a subsequent chase scene that makes the Keystone Kops look like rookies. Lewis, his moll Angelina (Janine Sanginari), and the Lombardo Brothers (Aranus Apanavicious and Dana Jones) are utterly ridiculous trying to catch Roxanne, who has Peter's briefcase instead of Lester's, and they had me.in tears. Bravo here to some ; excellent cameraf work, keeping up with a sliding Fitzsimmons, a fleet-footed Jones on crutches, a high-stepping Sanginari, and a battered and overly-bruised Apanavicious. Chris, Lester, Peter, Wendi, and Carrie are looking for Roxanne, too, and therefore get in on some of the fun as well. Roxanne gets away but she and Azzie are caught by Professor Gammons. And he takes them to The Big Guy. Father O'Hare, in his acting debut, plays himself and does it better than any character actor could. He's unbelievably funny thanks to a relaxed delivery and some classic Fordham comedy. Roxanne throws the papers out the window but they are ultimately retrieved. The Real Thing?

"If we play the way we're capable of playing, we can go a long way," Gallagher said. Let's hope so. It's been a long time since people have gotten excited about Fordham baseball.

Outfielder Rob McLaughlin was named MA AC Player-of-the-Week last week. McLaughlin, a senior, batted .480 for the week to raise his season average to .393. He was seven for 11 over the weekend against Fairfield to help the Rams sweep Fairfield in a three-game set.

They killed us.1 We were as good or better than every one of our oppo- nents." It was revealed that the Rams have been invited to join the Knickerbocker League, a Division III league, in two years. The league consists of Dowling College, Pace, Stevens Tech, Kings Point, Kean, Stonybrook, Manhattanville, and Fort Schuyler. At the present time it seems as though Fordham will make the jump to the Division III level in lacrosse at that time, as the university has given its approval to the invitation.
