DRY tells you WHY!

Rheingold is light but hearty —not bit­ ter, not sweet. Its quality of DRYNESS lets the clean, clear, real-beer flavor come through.

Also, notice Rheingold's pale, crystal- clear color. This paleness and sparkling ^amrCSeer clarity are additional symbols of the su­ perior quality brewers strive for.

FORDHAM'S

EDWARD F. DANOWSKI, Fordham, '34, who is beginning his first ceason as Ram gridiron coach, is no stranger to the Maroon's adherents. "Big Ed", as he came to be known, was one of a family of fifteen children and entered freshman year at Fordham in 1930, after establishing himself as an all-around ath­ lete at Riverhead High in Suffolk County, Long Island. After an abortive attempt at playing tackle, Ed's obvious ground-gaining talents soon caught the eye of the late Major Frank Cavanaugh and he became a backfield fixture after spearheading his freshman mates to an unbeaten season. Consistent and out­ standing play thereafter resulted in his captaincy of the 1933 eleven. In that same year he was the recipi­ ent of the first Madow Trophy, awarded annually to the most valuable player on the field in the Fordham- N.Y.U. game. Danowski won mention on several All-American teams and was invited to play in the 1933 East-West game. After graduation in 1934 Ed played with the N. Y. Giants Professional Football team until 1939. He established himself as one of the professional game's most successful forward passers—his six year record of 307 completions for 645 attempts still stands. Ed quit the professional game to become a coach- teacher, first at Fort Edward High School and later at Haverstraw High. Ed entered the Naval Pre-Flight program as a Lieutenant in 1942 and came out last Winter as a Lt. Commander. He is married, with a six year old son, Edward A., and makes his home at Riverhead. Is the first Fordham alumnus to hold the head coaching post since in 1926.

LOUIS DE FILIPPO, Fordham, '41, needs no in­ troduction to followers^ of Fordham's football for­ tunes. Regular center for three seasons, De Filippo was cast in the same mold as his famous predecessors in the pivot role—Wojciechowicz, Del Isola and Siano. Lou captained the Ram eleven in 1940 and was a standout in the Cotton Bowl classic of that season against Texas A & M. A native of West Haven, Conn., Lou, in addition to tutoring the Ram linemen, will be operating at center for the N. Y. Giants. A Naval Lieutenant dur­ ing the war, De Filippo was a player-coach at Purdue and Camp Peary and saw service in the Pacific.

Football belongs largely to speed, brawn, brain and the unending desire to approach perfection, with the goal line as its reward. Clothes by the modern Rogers Peet also express the approach to perfection. Indeed, perfection is always uppermost in the mind of Rogers Peet's Master-Designer— perfection in fabric, style, tailoring and fit- perfection in clothes for young men, and men who never grow old. # With our compliments!
