Penders is voted New York Metropolitan Area Coach of the Year for 1981. Last year, utilizing nine different combinations because of Injuries, Penders' team finishes 18-11 and again goes to the NIT. ACT III Time: the present. Despite losing two starters and another top player, the Rams are ready to make a run at another winning season and another post season tournament. "We have a real goal this season," states fifth-year head coach Tom Pen- ders. "We want to become the first For-, dham team in history to go to three straight post-season tournaments." Can this year's edition of the Rams become the first Fordham team in a dozen years to make the national cham- pionships? With the NCAA Tournament expanding to 52 teams, that thought remains a distinct possibility. The team certainly seems to have the potential to Of do so. "I thought last year's team was an TonyMclntosh NCAA team," commented Penders. "If we can stay injury-free, we can be better than last year." Missing from last year's squad is 23 points and 10 rebounds per game worth Tentative Starting of production, in the form of Bill Calhoun, Tony Foust, and Dud Tongal, all of whom have been graduated. "We'll Line-up definitely miss all three," said the coach. "We'll miss Dud's intimidation, Tony's leadership, and Bill's versatility. We will be a different type of club without them, relying more on quickness and execution." The road leading to a winning season and an invitation to either the NIT or NCAA tournaments is filled with potholes though. Those potholes come 198 7 -82: Season Of UpsAnd Downs in the shape of some of the top players and best teams in the country. "We have a tough schedule," noted Penders.

Center-Forward Edward Bona arrived on the Rose Hill campus from Sudan, Africa, amid much fanfare in 1979. He was following in the footsteps of his much-publicized seven-foot cousin Dud Tongal, another African player who had joined the Rams the year before. "The only pressure I felt was my own desire to do well," said the 6'8" Bona. Bona was able to block out these distractions as he saw considerable playing time in his freshman year. As a starting forward, Bona averaged 8.8 Mike Cooper points a game in the Rams' 11-16 season.

by John Fox Fordham Law School is proud of its many distinguished alumni, and per- haps none is more famous than Irving Paul ("Swifty") Lazar, a literary and theatrical agent, Mr. Lazar was the guest speaker at the Law School's Moot Court room on November 9th. Law School Dean John Ferrick grandly intro- duced him as "the most extraordinary success story in the history of the U.S." Lazar offered his own evaluation of what makes a successful literary agent. The first thing to do, he says, is "to compromise." The seonc thing to do is "to grab the cash and take the first train out of town," he added, to much laughter from the crowd. Lazar emphasized that an ego is always useful when trying to achieve success. "Ego is a good thing for you to have," he explained, "because it transfers you from a little man to a big man.'' Another necessary factor is the foresight to tell when someone has the ability to write a novel. A recent situation of this kind arose when he asked Dominique La Pierre, an editor at Paris-Match magazine, and Larry Collins, the head of Newsweek's Paris bureau, to write Is Paris Bur- ning? (The title refers to the fact that Hitler often posed that question during World War II). In order for an agent to achieve that kind of deal, "Swifty" explained, "you have to like writers... Writers are not the easiest people, because they have their own idiosyncrasies. But they're the most rewarding people to work with." One such reward was working with Moss Hart, who directed the ori- ginal production of My Fair Lady. Lazar called Hart a "giant of the theater," and said that his work on My Fair Lady was the "highlight of my career." Another personal favorite of Lazar's was his work on the original pro- CATE FRANCAB duction of The Sound of Music. In addition to the fact that it was a great FRENCH STYLE INSTANT COFFEE BtVE musical, Lazar's efforts earned its writers 10% of the gross, which was the first time that the writers of a Broadway musical received such a large amount. They have since received over $32 million, due largely to the phenomenally successful movie version. '' In addition to these financial successes, Lazar has had more personal suc- cesses—for example, his friendships with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. In fact, it was Bogart who gave him the name "Swifty." Bogart bet him $ 1000 that he could not get three contracts by the end of the day. Within five hours, Lazar had gotten five completed contracts, and Bogart said to him, "Swifty, that's wonderful!" It was Lazar who encouraged Bacall to write Lauren Bacall By Myself. She was hesitant to do it, because "she was afraid it would be a kiss-and-tell book." However, it "turned out to be a very interesting book." Lazar offered some "swift" advice to people who are interested in becoming literary agents. He told them to "Stay in New York, because New York is stili the Mecca."

The Rams finished the season with a record 11-2-4, their best record ever. But something was missing. That something was an NCAA tournament bid. "If two of those ties had been vic- tories," said coach Frank Schnur, "we would have been in the NCAA picture." If an ECAC tournament had been held the Rams would have been insured a berth. No ECAC tournament will be held, though, and the Rams' 1982 season is history. The Rams took the three hour journey to Providence to face Rhode Island, a team also seeking an NCAA berth. "It was the last game for the seniors," said senior sweeper Mark Lugris, "so we really wanted this game." Scoreless at Half The first half was scoreless but it was by no means dull. Both teams played excellent soc- cer as the intensity level was tremendous. Things were looking up for the Rams as the second half got underway. But 15 minutes into the second half things didn't look so rosy. Ram senior goalkeeper Ernie Winhoffer was spiked and forced to leave the game. Into the fray went backup netminder Jim O'Donnell whose only previous action this season had been in the second half of the 13-0 romp over Pace. "It was unfortunate that we lost Ernie," commented Schnur, "because he had played Fourteen oz. glass mug for sale. It's the two-fisted so well over the last six or seven games."
