SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS

President Ed Murphy headed the class of '50 in its last year at USF. This was the class that saw the first great influx of returning servicemen swelling the ranks of the University. He was ably assisted by Dick O'Brien, vice- president; Jim Kenney, secretary-treasurer; and Jim Doherty and Tom Barron, representatives. JAMES KENNEY Among the many projects undertaken by the group Secretary-Treasurer were the arrangements for the Senior Ball and Senior Exclusive, and the organizing of a yearbook to replace class book previously published exclusively for the senior class. They also cooperated in planning the senior-junior picnic and the senior retreat. As members of the executive council, they represented their class in that body and helped formulate the student policies and assisted in the projects. The work of the class officers has been indicative in general of the outstanding year which has been one of athletic prominence, improved social activities, and academic attainments, all of which were permeated with true Christian ideals.

.' ':•:•: ".:,y: CLASS HISTORY

CAN YOU REMEMBER .. . the long lines of confusion as registration reached a new high of 2,045 that September in 1946? When Fr. O'Farrell's English classes memorized the Aims and Creed of the University? Dr. Fearon's Psych 2 course or Fr. Brolan's Logic? How the age span in one class varied from 17 to 32, but with just about everyone wearing suntans who could tell the difference between a vet and a high school graduate of that year except for an occasional grimace of pain on the face of a student whose subsistence check was late in arriving? How all attended the ninetieth student retreat in early November, which was resumed after a five year lapse, and read with interest that article in the Sat-evepost which rated us seventh in the nation, but which was overlooked as Forrest Hall became our Ail-American nominee? Or when the band played on both sides of the field during the Kansas State game, and we played Santa Clara again after four years? THE SCHOOL WAS GROWING THEN ... as Fr. Dunne broke the ground in the "red rock area" for the new huts . . . and Dr. Kessel was finishing up his work on the Fiat-Footed Fly ... as the many clubs reactivated themselves . . . the Alpha Sigma Nu, the Bio-Chems, the International Relations Club, the Scabbard and Blade, and the Marachis . . . and Art McCue's Glee Club (remember "The Irish of Old Notre Dame"?). THE FOGHORN, then as now, was the voice of the campus as it promoted such events as the Frosh Fandango on St. Pat's Day in the Colonial Room of the St. Francis, and the Frosh-Soph picnic ... as it featured such columnists as Joe Mouille's "Hilltop Lowdown," which itemized the doings on the Hilltop, including the weekly thermometer of USF affections, which left a certain nearby girls' college in the deep-freeze week after week . . . and Pat Cannon's San Franciscana . . . and reported the doings and quotations of Daniel O'Brien III the head exec, and of our class officers —Jack Riordan as prexy, Art Hall as his "veep," and Jack Reilly, Bud Jenkins and Frank Falls as assistant cogs . . . and how it plugged "Boss" Gill's plays, tops of which were "Joan of Lorraine" and "The Late George Apley" . . . and announced with a note of sadness the death of Col. Sanger of the History Department. THE ATHLETIC OFFICE SPENT A BUSY YEAR . . . announcing the several changes in football coaches, and the arrival of many new faces in the barracks . . . giving out the results of boxing, featuring such names as Roy "Tiger" Barni, Julien Miguel, John "Spider" Henessev, and others . . . learning how to spell the monikers of such Page Street performers as McNamee, Giesen, Rodrigues, Bennington and Giudice . . . trying to foster a crew on Lake Merced and getting nowhere . . . arranging transportation for the tennis team which bounced up with 13 wins against 2 losses . . . but failed to report that Fr. Dunne pitched his usual one inning on President's Day, and that the Class of '50 won the tug of war and the pie-eating contest.

THE GREEN AND GOLD ROOM ECHOES THE YEAR OF 1947 . . . with talk of such events as the Fathers and Sons Night and of Father Jim who "Duce'd" himself into the hearts of everyone there . . . when the ROTCadets willingly returned to the United States from Ft. Bliss . . . because it was an interesting semester with football victories and field-goal attempts from the 50 yard line, after-game dances at the Ariel Rowing Club, Danny Galvin the perennial yell leader, ably assisted by Bill Baldwin Jr. whose pop was our seasonal M.C. at the rallies . . . and the FOGHORN put out the "Bell Edition" to prove that we had THE Bell, thanks to Jim Ryan and Hal Jensen. THE TEMPO OF EDUCATION INCREASED TOO ... as Fr. Nagle assumed his duties of Dean of Men in a brand new, clean office (anyone been in there latelv?) . . . and Fr. Harney began formulating the Education Department, climaxed by the State Board issuing USF a license in February to give teachers' credentials . . . Dean Hall arrived and the Bus Ad School hasn't been the same since . . . registration increased to 2,602 and talk began about a new library ... a placement bureau was created to make sure no one rejoined the 52-20 club, a non-campus organization. Class officers were George Snyder and Jack Grealish as number one and number two men, assisted by Joe Truzzo- lino, Mike Egan and Dan Strazulo . . . the Soph Drag in October found the class at the Palace Hotel with Ray Hackett's music . . . tickets were issued for the Winter Carnival Express after a five year derailment . . . and Pete McCabe was starring in "Mary of Scotland" ... as the islanders and indigenes initiated the first "Philippine Night" in April. WHEN THE FOG LIFTED ONE COULD SEE . . . Harry Likas, Connie Catton, Harry Roche and others adding up the "net results" for the Dons as Likas copped the NCAA singles crown . . . Jim Raser, newly-appointed sports editor of the FOGHORN was commenting on the doings of Paul Schramka, Reno De Beneditti and Tom Butler as they filled the air with baseballs, or the events in the Cow Palace which opened that December . . . other members of the paper bending over their typewriters were Bob Morelli, Pete Sokolowski, Jack Poggi #nd Joe Gumina, aided and abetted by a good (?) cup of G&G Room brew . . . and Jack Coates was giving more blood than four other men and still managing to stay conscious long enough to pound out his "Inside Track" . . . and the "hams" in the radio shack sent out their first message "Has God Wrought This?" . . . and the BSC was found ordering one thousand new signs: "No Smoking in the Halls and Corridors." THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT . . . McKeever played Adm. Halsey and rode his white horse in front of Lone Mountain's portals after the St. Mary's game, and Mother Mejia was growing a little impatient and hoping that USF would have a long-term losing streak . . . everyone wanted to be student body president to replace Hal Jensen but the field narrowed itself to six, and Frank D'Atri took the title and Joe Truzzolino got himself a vote of confidence for v.p. . .. Don Farbstein was tried before a jury of Lone Mountain girls over a BSC parking ticket . . . Father Rossi had one pupil in his Portuguese class . . . the FOGHORN printed one of Shakespeare's sonnets under the name of one of the students, and no one, faculty included, noticed it. CLASS HISTORY (Continued)

REMEMBER IN THE JUNIOR YEAR . . . how the attendance at the first (and last) annual Santa Claus College boomed as Hal Dejulio, Tom Thatcher, Dick Gravelle and others learned to chuckle the official "ho ho ho" way? When Father Rossi published his 25th different edition of a Portuguese grammar which contained several chapters on how to rebuild an ROTC building without disturbing the activity within, and how to drive the USF truck (?) in traffic? When the radio club "hammed it up" on their new station W6CFB . . . and Dr. Sandri invited his classes—male and female—to his villa in Marin County for a day of picniking and barbecue? How Mr. Breier heaved a sigh of relief when the No. 5 streetcars were replaced with busses, and the hearing aids were removed from the classrooms along Fulton Street? That was the year that . . . thirty-five nurses were admitted to these sacred halls as USF's tradition of daylight exclusion was shattered, and the girls broke into print with their FOGHORN column, "Suture Selves," (de) composed by Helen Kleebauer, Dolores Lopez and Cecile Muschi . . . and the ROTC did themselves right proud in the St. Pat's Day parade . . . and a student christened Suen Jung gave the Math Club a few hints on how to add two and two on the abacus. THE UNIVERSITY . . . lost a great man and true Christian when, in February of 1949, death claimed the soul of James Gill, whose mark will long remain indelible in this school and its creed . . . and accepted reluctantly the resignation of Prof. Strickroth who had served as accounting instructor for twenty-eight years, from the "shirt factory" to the hilltop . . . patiently announced the construction of the Gleason Memorial Library which began in early summer . . . and saw registration soar to 2,996. FORTY-EIGHT AND FORTY-NINE were active years for such clubs as . . . Dr. Fearon's Psychology Club, which checked in at San Quentin prison for a one-day visit . . . and the College Players who reached new heights both in performance and publicity when they presented the West Coast premiere of "Command Decision" at the War Memo­ rial Theatre and dedicated it to the late "Boss" Gill . . . and the All-Intramural football team was chosen with Grealish and Slavich representing the Irish, Shields and Sweeter for the Foghorn, and Morenos and Kearney from the Sodality . . . while the Ski Club snowplowed its way to Kingsvale w'th 65 members . . . and the Sullivan Post of the Am Legion tossed the Nevada rally and gave away a television set, just in time for the lucky winner to see the Glee Club exposed during the premiere showing of KGO-TV. PERSONALITIES TO BE REMEMBERED INCLUDE. . . Coach Pete Newell and his "hard-bitten" towel . . . Jack Hanley's tattoos, haircut, and spirit . . . Ang Carmazzi and the Minestrone Four . . . Scrap-iron Young and his "ace" bandages . . . Don Euing, whose name was first on every mutilated signup list on the bulletin board, thanks to his buddies, and who even had a day dedicated to him—May 32. Don Eui^a Dav . . . Bill Nowak. as oft-appointed chair­ man of social doings . . . Don Lofgran's short, quick step . . . Norm Adler's 1948 campaign speech for Sec'y: "I can read and write; no other candidate has made this statement" . . . Dan Strazulo's original move to have school jackets . . . "Hopalong" Barni with his plaster of paris gimp . . . "Jahn" Bay, the perennial lover and Chesterfield rep who never had a smoke of his own. THINGS WERE BUZZIN' THAT YEAR ... at the dozen or so receptions both here and abroad ... the Juniors' pre-lenten effort at the St. Francis Hotel (again?) titled "Cupid's Capers" ... as the Philippine Club staged its second annual nite with Joaauin Arago, et al., and put on a "Tinikling" good sho"' . . . and the tennis tea mproved itself best on the Coast, and Art Larsen and Sam Match took team honors in the NCAA finals . . . when the basketball team swept thru four games in Madison Square Garden, finally dumping Loyola 48-47 to win the NIT, thanks to a barrage of telegrams from every civic official and follower in California and lots of skill and know-how . . . and the huge crowd of 3,000 at the airport to meet the Champs when they arrived and who followed them in the car parade thru downtown S.F. . . . but other titles were won too, when the Rifle team triggered themselves into the Sixth Army Championship, and Gus Donahue's soccermen nailed the Coast crown for the first time in 12 years.

SHADES OF '49 and our Senior year ... as 3,464 of us crowded into the Liberal Arts building, morning, noon and night . . . and Fr. Mootz's "ethical norms" became a thing of the present, and many wished that Mr. Uhr's Econ Theory was a thing of the past, or perhaps a bad dream . . . though hurt feelings were soothed when Fr. Peter Dunne cooed "Take an A" ... as the perennial exec council, almost issueless by now, was gavel-controlled by Larry Lawson; Bill Duffy assisted, Gil de la Mora "treasured," and Fred Behnke and Jack Merrill memoed . . . Ed "Mumbles" Murphy and Dick O'Brien were 1-2 as class officers, Jim Kenny was sec'y-treas. and CIC rep . . . Tom Barron and Jim Dohery were class reps. LOCKER-ROOM LOGIC . . . proved itself a winner in Kezar as the Dons added up a 7 & 3 season . . . highpointed by a 41-13 win over the Gaels, who were still recovering from the shock of having their sacred water-tower discolored the night before with Green paint, and allowing (?) the return of the 1939 Victory Bench . . . San Jose State even turned the lights off in their stadium, but lights or no lights, Ollie Matson was too much to stop that night and the Hill- toppers won in the waning seconds . . . but copping the glory at year's end was Coach Gus Donahue's soccermen, "bonnie lads all," who racked up their second straight Pacific Coast title and played Penn State at St. Louis on New Year's for the National Championship, only to be tied 2-2 in the last 15 seconds . . . Olifunmi Adekunle Osibogun from Africa nabbed a spot on the All-American second squad, but other key men were Steve Negoescu, Rich Baptisa, Ang Carmassi, et al. CLASS HISTORY (Continued)

Mutt and Jeff—Herrerias and Lofgran—made national headlines and sports-magazine covers as basketball season opened . . . Big Joe McNamee broke his wrist . . . Frankie Kuzara polished up his two-handed push shot from mid- court . . . and the men of Newell went on to win 19 out of 25 . . . Rene Herrerias refused to grow, and a TWA steward­ ess took him for the team mascot . . . which was OK, too, since Gil de la Mora, an expectorating image of the Mouse, was signing Rene's autographs for none-the-wiser kids after the St. Mary's football game. SIGHTEMS AND DATA FOR '49 and '50 included . . . Phil Gastineau's bruised, battered and scabbed nostrils . . . the Minestrone Four, the North Beach Vagabonds . . . Pancho, the mongrel mascot who may not have been the best of his kind, but surely was the only one of his kind . . . the announcement during the play, "Night of January 16," that a car on Fulton Street had fallen through a sewer, and the audience thought it was part of the show (what talent!) . . . the overflowing "Drag Section," much to the chagrin of "the boys" . . . the new mustard-dipped band uniforms . . . Sarge MacKenzie's ever-ready smile and hello . . . Mr. Schuler's corduroy coat and haircut (?) ... the unveiling of the new altar in St. Ignatius . . . and the cries of the insurance companies as steps were built down to Anna and Tony's Green and Gold room . . . the soft-spoken voice of the assistant librarian when she answered the phone . . . the night that Dons went from referees to chaperons, in top hats and tuxs, so that they could attend both the USC game at the Cow Palace and the Junior Prom at the Pen'nsula Country Club . . . the "chicken" smile (in) duced by our distaff year­ book photographer, for same . . . one of S.F.'s Finest, Jack Kerrigan, and his bad dreams of dead bodies which weren't, and the lack of sympathy from his comrades-in-arms Steve Spellman, Joe Kane, Jim Bohm and Tim Richardson . . . and the annual Christmas tree sales by "The Three Dons." THE SOCIAL CALENDAR listed such events as . . . Fathers and Sons Night in November . . . the Soph Drag at the St. Francis Hotel . . . the half dozen or so rallies, not the least of which was the one for the San Jose State basket­ ball game, which featured Slim Gaillard and his "mello-rooney voutness" . . . the Winter Carnival in January, and the traditional Frosh Fandango on March 17 . . . Philippine Night in April . . . receptions at Domincan, Holy Names, and "the Mountain" . . . climaxed by the Senior Ball in May and the Senior Exclusive at the Claremont Hotel on June first. CLUB ACTIVITY boomed that year, too . . . Joe Laharty headed un the College Players, and Hugh Visser the Sanctuary Society . . . the St. Ives Law Club was chancellored by Dick Gravelle and Joe Kucera was Foghorn Editor . . . Roy Barni was the capital letter in the Block Club . . . while Bill Knill focused the Camera Club on school happen­ ings . . . Bill Hughes relinquished his long-time position as Intramural Commissioner to Joe Mocha, and the Foghorn beat the Sodality for the football championship . . . O'Brieii, Slavich and Spellman were headliners for the journalists, while Kearney, Kilday and Rolandi were Sodality standouts . . . The Ski Club was again set up at Kingsvale, prexied by Bill (Knud) Walters . . . and the ROTC was showing weekly noon-hour movies . . . Harry Murphy's IRC was kept up to date on current world happenings by a series of guest speakers . . . and the Scabbard and Blade crossed swords in their yearly ball at the Presidio. 2130 FULTON STREET . . . was the scene for such guest speakers as Mortimer Adler, the thinker . . . Dean Prosser of Cal, the briefer . . . F. Joseph Donahue, the schemer . . . West Point cadets, debaters . . . and Judges Devine, Cronin, and van der Zee, "College Players" for the "Night of January 16th" . . . saw the beginning of a Fine Arts course, and Ron Miguel won the Luckman Oratorical Contest . . . and one of its history profs, Father McGloin, had his "Eloquent Indian" published by the Stanford Press . . . and fourteen nurses set precedent, as the first women graduates from the Day Division of the University. SPRING SPORTS . . . found the launching of a swimming team, while the golfers teed off at Lake Merced . . . Connie Catton and Harry Roche were top-seeded on the tennis team . . . John Dunn and Pete Maloney were doubling the opposition off at second base, while John Vick and Mike Scarpelli handled the "big-stick" work . . . Tom Pagee and Don Townsend were moundsmen of note . . . Ollie Matson and Joe Scudero were dashing USF thinclads, Merill Peacock hurdled, and Burl Toler handled the discus . . . Terry Healey hustled through the two-mile . . . while the old perennials, Alan Crowe and Tom Bendorf, were still 280-plus deadeyes on the Rifle team.

And so it is that we, the Class of 1950, take leave of our University, leaving behind many memories, many of which are pleasant, a few indifferent, but none discouraging. Ours have been the years of growth and development, of re­ adjustment, but just as we have profited from its ninety-odd classes of alumni, so too will future classes gain from us; but all will take from this University more than they can ever return. As we have profited, so will others, for the educational aims under which we have been guided will forever remain the same—"to mould manhood, to develop the entire man, mind and heart, body and soul." Such then is our heritage, and for this we thank you. Adios!

They gave their Alma Mater its Head Coach Joe Kuharich, now in the midst of a greatest grid team. The three losses, unlike beatings in sound and calculated building program, along with his other years, could easily have gone the other way, and assistants Pete Kmetovich and Bud Kerr issued no shouts the seven wins were all by a margin of two touchdowns of joy during the spring and early fall practice sessions. or more.

Among these jaysee very warm evening of September 17, 1949, awaiting the switchovers was one Ollie Matson, a six-foot-two, 207- start of the USF vs. College of Pacific football game.

This was the ball game. Against the same club who had humbled them 32-14 less than one year before, the Dons put up a fight that virtually skinned the Tiger who was to go on to an undefeated untied season. The Don sophomores amazed one ami all during the first quarter as they pushed the Bengals back repeatedly. Only once had Eddie LeBaron's "T" magic taken the Stocktonians near the Don goal. That happened early in the first period when the Tigers recovered a Don fumble on the latter's nineteen yard line. LeBaron's first shot was a pass that hit halfback Jim Price as he crossed the goal line, and il looked as if history was to repeal itself. But a holding penalty against the Tigers saved the Dons, and although the Tigers had a first down on the Don thirty-five, they were unable to get past the thirty. All through the first and pari of I lit- second period the Bengals started drives that usually ended up with the Dolls intercepting a pass or forcing C.O.P to kick. Early in the second stanza with I lit- ball on the Don thirty-seven as a result of Don Brown's thirteen yard runback of Ed Brown's punt, LeBaron faded and connected with Wilbur Sites who wasn't hauled down until he had reached the Don five yard line. It took everything the Tigers bad from there, and finally on last down Bruce Orvis made it over by inches. Bill McFarlohd booted the extra point as LeBaron held, and the Tigers led, 7-0. John Finney of the Dons took the ensuing kickoff and raced forty- two yards to the C.O.P. 48. With Roy Barni carrying for the most part, the Green shirts drove to the Tiger thirty, but at this point the drive fizzled. The Tigers however, couldn't make headway against the Kuharicb-concocted eight man line with two backer lips and a safety man. LeBaron was forced to kick, and Fullback Matson raced it back twenty-three yards before LeBaron. the kicker, made the stop. With Roy Barni carrying most of the mail, the Hilltoppers reached the thirteen yard line, but a fumble on first down was picked up b) the Bengals, and the Dons were once again thwarted. But once again the Kuharich defense froze LeBaron's hipper dipper spinning, and he once again punted. Matson e.i*-e again took it and this time returned thirty-six yards before the overworked LeBaron made the stop. With time running out, Jim Ryan started passing. Three went incomplete, but the last one found Kinney by himself in the flat. Il took a diving tackle from behind by the Tiger's little Eddie Macon on the ten to stop the Dons from scoring as the gun sounded ending the half. The final half was for the most part U.S.F. Twice they missed scoring opportunities, once they didn't. In the opening minutes of act four, Ryan bootlegged to his right, cut inside tackle and covered three yards for the first Don score of '49. Ed Brown's placement was wide and the score was 7-6, C.O.P. Once more the Dons drove, l>ul penalties forced them to Iry a field goal from the twenty that missed. Again they marched, llii* time to the Tiger one yard line where a third down fumble snuffed the life out of their last scoring spark. Il was the most encouraging loss the Dons ever suffered. Matson after shaking off bis first quarter nervousness, showed he could bi­ as useful on defense as on offense, and bis buddy Burl Toler backed the line with uncanny diagnostic skill. Roy Barni, John Finney, Ed Brown, and Vince Sakowski were impressive runners, and Dick Stanfel at guard, and Gino Marchelli al tackle were far and away the best linesmen. 1 ". ST.

What the Bonnies luck in recognition, they certainly made up for in size, and for the first half that Sunday in Kezar Stadium, il looked as if the brawn of the men from Orlean. New York, would pay off.

Coach Hugh De Yore's Brown Sbirls wasted no time in getting started. In the first quarter, five minutes ami fifty-five seconds into the game, halfback Leo llaggcrly smashed right tackle on a trap 11l;i\- and scooted 80 yards for the game's first score.

Bui defeat accompanied success as the rest of the Green and Gold­ men piled up a 41-14 victory over the Malson-minded Gaels. Thirty-eight thousands fans were in Kezar Stadium Ibal sunny afternoon to witness the shattering of three Hilltop records. For ibis was the first time in the school's history that five consecutive games were won, the Gaels bad been defeated for three straight years anil the Dons had scored the greatest amount of points over St. Mary's since the traditional classic was originated. It was a topsy-turvy affair in which the Moraga crew drew first blood on an 84-yard end zone sprint by halfback Frank Cassara. Ibe extra point by Packard Harrington made the score 7-0 al ibe ball. Preordained lo their destiny, the Hillloppers opened the gales of glory with a breath-taking second ball scoring spree which lell ball the crowd delirious with joy and the rest in a stale of bewilder­ ment. A St. Mary's fumble in the early minutes of ibe third quarter was recovered on the twenty-yard stripe and ibe rejuvenated Hilltop line opened the Gaels wide open as quarterback Gene Sweelers climaxed a drive by punching over from ibe one. The kick by Fd Brown bad the score lied. From here, the Dons were on their way. Another ibinl period score resulted from Sweeter's 19-yard pass lo Brown who eluded delending Dick Jarvis and sailed for 40 yards unmolested lo break the tie. With only IS minutes remaining for St. Mary's to pul themselves back in the game Dick Jarvis decided to gamble. Finding red shirled Glen Bell in the clear, Jarvis cocked bis arm and rilled ibe hide. Jarvis' pass seemed certain to lie up the score but defending Roy Giorgi raced from nowhere to pick up the pass and raced 12 yards down the sidelines for score number three. Had you missed ibis play, it was repealed in almost the exact fashion a lew minutes later. Only this lime Jarvis heaved to Cassara and again Giorgi was on band to gather up the pass and travel the remaining 34 yards down the sidelines. Between Giorgi's two interceptions, halfback Manny Braz slanted iff tackle and raced 47 yards, with ball the Gael squad behind him. or another six pointer. With only minutes remaining Gael tackle Al Williams gobbled ip a fumble on ibe USF*s 20 and a pass by Harry Atkinson gave M. Mary's their last touchdown. I be Dons clinched the final score as a result of Mat-on'- brilliant i8-yard gallop after accepting an aerial from Jim Ryan.

Bin it was the brilliant line performance which the Green and (Jolders staged that drew praise from all who saw the Sunday after­ noon slaughter. It was a consistent affair in which the rtenoiles saw green and while clad enemies in their back yard all day and guard Joe Wozniak climaxed the stellar line activities by snagging down a ill-fleeted pass ill the end zone for six points.

In some respects, it was a battle between two lines and 40,000 spectators watched coach Jot- Kuharich's forward men play the game in ibe Bronc's backyard. It looked, in the early minutes of tin- contest, as if file Dons were on their way lo an upset victory as quarterback Jim Ryan heaved a long one to Merrill Peacock on the eight-yard line. But an illegal shift, so to speak, cancelled the gain anil from then on the Dons were held scoreless until early in the fourth period. This lime the Dons were not lo be denied.

Twelve thousand soul- watched the Marquette lads lake ihe opening kickoff and drive down lo the Don 16 with a mixed ground game. But thai was ihe best they could tin until the score stood at 33-0 against llieni. The Dons scored in ihe first period as a result of a 84-yard ground ihrusl with Ollie Malson, John Finney ami Roy Barni doing most of the damage. From six yards out, halfback John Finney skirted around end behind a tremendous block put up by Ollie Malson anil sailed in lor the first score.

Whereas the Don quintet of 1948-49 was one that went from rags to riches with the help of a few breaks along the way, the Green and Gold casabists of the year just past had to fight every inch of the way to keep from going back to the rags they once wore. The difference? Last year's Dons won 19 games with­ out a break. It was a tough go, but the Dons made it, and were invited to return to Madison Square Garden to defend their National Invitational Tournament crown. March 11 in Madison Square Garden was neither the time nor place for the Dons to be playing. Perhaps if it had been the day before or the day after, or if the game was being played in Chicago Stadium or the Cow Palace, the Dons would have been all right. But March 11 in Madison Square Garden was neither the time nor place for USF. Pete Newell and his squad of twelve cagers left San Francisco with high hopes of repeating their effort of the year previous. They had brushed off the slam of not being seeded, and proceeded to work toward their first game with City College of New York—a darkhorse. What Nat Holman's City College team did to the Dons that day was terrible from a USF standpoint. They completely outclassed and rendered helpless the PETE NEWELL defending champs. While the Beavers were sinking Head Basketball Coach 24 out of 64 attempts from the floor, the Hilltoppers were suffering with only 16 out of 72. The final score read 65-46, and the Dons faced the long trip home with heavy hearts. When the ball club landed at Mill's Field, the eve­ ning of March 13, they received a pleasant surprise. A large gathering had turned out, along with a pep band, to give them a homecoming, to show them they were still the champions in the hearts of their faithful. That ended the season of 1949-50. A season that was marred by the loss in the tournament, but exactly one week after said loss, CCNY emerged as the winner of the NIT, and Dons everywhere remarked, "It took a champion to beat a champion." In many ways the season of '50 was the most exciting in USF history. Let's turn the calendar back to last November. Football season had just ended, and every­ one was anxiously looking forward to basketball. Before the first game, against San Jose State, the Dons received two bad breaks. All American forward Don Lofgran chipped his ankle in a practice, and just as he began to get back into shape, guard Rene Herrer­ ias broke a bone in bis hand. Things looked far from rosy, but a capacity house was on hand at Kezar Pa­ vilion to watcb the Dons in their opener against the Spartans. The Hilltoppers incurred their first loss of the sea­ son in that initial game. Paced by Stu Inman. Don McCaslin and Bob Wuestoff, the San Joseans clipped the NIT champs, 43-38. Exactly one week later against Nevada, the Hill- toppers came back to life. The Wolfpack, which was to go on to a successful season, took it on the chin 70- 54. The mark broke a Don scoring record, and it looked as though the Newellmen were on their way. On December 13, a weak Olympic Club team was annihilated bv the Dons- 80-26, and the scoring record set five days before was broken. December 17 marked the Dons coming out party, and the opponent was UCLA at the Cow Palace. The Bruins had been one of the teams that beat the Dons the year previous, and it was with vengeance that the men in Green and Gold swamped the Pacific Coast Conference champs, 53-40. Lofgran was superb as he held Alan Sawyer, top Bruin scorer, to six points, and while he was at it, he meshed 17 for himself. A good crowd of 6,342 watched this one. The Dons took their record of three wins and one

Lofgran once again netted 18, and the Dons, who had received their NIT bid that afternoon of March 4, concluded their regular season with 19 wins and 6 losses. The game also marked the return of Joe McNamee to the Don line up.

That was the season. A rough one that taxed a great coach and team to a point of near exhaustion. Game- riess triumphed over adversity as the Hilltoppers made the comeback of the year in winning 14 out of their last 16 games. They needed them, so they went out and got them.

Seven seniors bowed out in that last game, against CCNY in the tournament. Seven seniors who had led their team through the two greatest years in USF ath­ letic history. They emblazoned their Alma Mater's great name throughout the country. They made the sport's world USF conscious.

It is to them that this section of the Adios is dedi­ cated. To they who at times had so little to offer, but gave forth so magnanimously for the glory of their school.

The class of '50 will never forget its classmates who gave them so much to be proud of. Their hats are off to you—Don Lofgran, Don Giesen, Rene Herrerias, Frank Kuzara, Ross Giudice, Jack Hanley and Joe McNamee.

And in their praises, the class of '50 will always re­ serve an abundance of gratefulness to the man who made the Don success a reality. His tireless efforts to exact precision plav on the part of his team, paid off a hundred fold. Thanks always to you—Pete Newell.

Handicapped by the loss of veterans from last year's squad, the Don baseballers took it on the chin in their first three outings against Stanford, the St. Louis Browns' Rookies, and California. In their first game against the Indians, the Dons were subdued by the score of 9 to 4. The Hilltoppers were unable to do anything right and errors led to the differ­ ence in the score. The Brownie Rookies then came to town and pro­ ceeded to hand the Dons a 4 to 2 defeat. USF showed marked improvement in pitching, fielding and hitting, but were unable to put their hits together for the runs that win ball games. Don Townsend, a sophomore, toed the mound against the Bears and pitched a creditable ball game. However, it wasn't good enough with the result reading: Califor­ nia 10, USF 6. Unfortunately for the Don cause, Townsend was vic­ timized by five Hilltopper errors. Ed Rommel, the sopho­ more third baseman, was responsible for three of the miscues, all of which came in the second inning. An in­ ning which saw three Bears scoring on no hits, two walks, and three errors. Although he was touched for nine hits and allowed seven free passes, Mr. Townsend had the Cal batters swinging their bats as if they were waving white flags in striking out eight of them. Don was responsible for six earned runs, but proved to be the hitting sensation as he powered a 360-foot home run. In looking over the three past games, one can see that the Hilltoppers have not been able to put a complete ball game together in the past. The reason being that they were a young ball club and lacked experience which PETE NEWELL came to them after a few games. Head Baseball Coach They say that experience is the best teacher, and this adage was true in the case of the baseballers. Looking at the team through positions, it had a good potential. Hitting, fielding, and pitching had developed to the stage where they were effective.

Moving to Los Angeles the Dons met UCLA in a game which was billed as the game to determine the West Coast Collegiate soccer title. The Dons took the previously un­ beaten Bruins into camp and defeated them 3-1, and won undisputed possession of the title. The following day, the busy Dons met the leading professional team in the Los Angeles area, the Los Angeles Aztecs, and were tied, 2-2, after leading throughout the game.

In the final game before the St. Louis trip, the Dons took on the League All-Stars, composed of the best players from the other colleges. It took only the first ten minutes to convince the opposing players and spectators that USF would emerge the victors. Scoring four goals in these ten minutes the Hilltoppers then settled down to playing eighty minutes of defensive ball without allow­ ing a goal and won 4-0.
