"I've grown to respect and admire this team, but they challenge and defy some of the basic principles of coaching . .. I've always said you play the way you practice, and this team is really not a good practice team .. but when the buzzer rings, they're ready."

- Coach Ed Bilik

The afternoon of the Assumption game, Ed Bilik '57 learned that his team had been ranked sixth in the nation among Division II teams.

Ray Lamont, a sportswriter for the Berkshire Eagle, summed the size situa­ tion up very nicely when he asked a rhetorical question prior to Springfield's game (58-5 7) at Williams College: "Couldn't you find any smaller guards?" "I made a statement the other day," reflected Bilik, "that this team reminds me of Springfield College itself: we're a good small basketball team and Springfield College is a good small col­ lege.

Pugh, Porter, Gam­ bardella, Lemieux and Jarvis all started at different times last year. I was op­ timistic because I saw the potential in some of our young freshmen from last year. That potential has definitely sur­ faced. Our bench has been a big factor in many of our victories. Chuck Ertel (Springfield, Ma.) Tom Collette (San­ ford, Me .) and Eddie Pryor (Plainsboro, N.J.) all played as freshmen last year.

However, we have chosen the team concept of play and David has contributed unselfishly to this style. I think the word 'unselfish' characterizes David very well. He's concerned about the team and not so much about himself. The players have this saying: lIit's not me, it's not you . . . it's us. " The team concept is evident when Coach Bilik discusses his other players. "Everybody on this team knows his strengths and weaknesses. David Porter is an excellent outside shooter. Against Assumption he threw in one basket for what would have been a three-poi nt-play in the old ABA. He's c~pitalized on his strength and he's been a very, very pleas­ ant surprise to our program. "Dan Jarvis is the middle man of our defense. When we win a big game it's largely because he's played a great defen­ sive game in the middle. Defense is something many people overlook. I don't! He takes a physical beating, but he knows he's our man in the middle. He blocks shots, he intimidates opponents. I've yet to see a good team which did not have that defense in the middle." Then there are the guards ... possibly the smallest backcourt tandem in the country. Don Lemieux is a fierce com­ petitor. He has a quick pair of hands which are capable of stripping an oppo­ nent, regardless of size, of the ball.

Dr. A. A. Kidess, a member of the Springfield College stal!since 1948, will retire injune following more than three decades ofservice to alma mater. 'Ted' as he is known to many, many Springfield alumni throughout the world, has filled a variety of positions - from Director of Intramurals to Administrative Assistant to the President; from Housing Director to Vice President ofthe College. However, Ted's real interest, his insatiable desire ifyou will, has been for international education. His contributions as Foreign Student Advisor and Director ofthe Doggett Memorial International Center on campus have been many and varied. His intense interest in the well -being ofthis College in 'the community ofthe world' has been documented within the pages ofthe Bulletin time after time. And so , on the occasion of his retirement, we asked Ted to reminisce on the years - his years - at Springfield (Editor J.

<) Swirsky Memorial Memorable By Theresa Giera

Tragedy always seems to strike when you least expect it. It is most unwelcome. The Springfield community was stunned with the news ofthe death ofMike Swirsky, a junior from Stratford, Ct., who died while swimming in lAke Massasoit last May - just two days before the end of the collegiate year. Mike was popular, very popular, and his loss was deeply felt by many students, faculty, and administrators. The following, reprinted with permission from the Springfield Union (Monday, November 14, 1977), graphically describes how Springfield students put their thoughts and feelings for Mike into a 'memorial' that was t1'1lly memorable. (Editor).

Amid sporadic snow flurries and winter-preview temperatures, 550 un­ daunted and devoted runners turned out on the Administration green at Springfield College to participate in the Mike Swirsky Memorial Road Race Sun­ day afternoon. It took two months of planning and a waterfall of love to get the event un­ derway, but it took less than an hour to complete. The first runner crossed the finish line at 26:24. Jack Mahurin, a physical education teacher at Springfield, led the pack. The field included young and old, experienced and beginners, teachers and students - anyone willing to enter. Robert Swirsky, Mike's father, was on hand to start the 5.3 mile race. "I got kind of choked up," he said. "I didn't think I could do it, but Mike always liked me to attend the sports he loved to play, so I knew he wouldn't mind us being here today." Michael Swirsky drowned in Mas­ sasoit Lake behind his dorm on May 24 of this year, just two days before he was scheduled to leave school for the sum­ mer vacation. "He loved this school so much," Mr. Swirsky said. "You always here about all the bad. kids and the terrible things they do," continued his wife, Molly. "This gives me faith that there is more good than bad in this world." lake Massasoit is clearly visible from the front of the Marsh Memorial Build­ ing where Mr. Swirsky stood with his wife. "We lost him in that lake right over there," he said as he pointed to the calm body of water to his right.

Many of the runners were students or faculty members at the school, but a few were old friends. Dr. Nathan Naci, a surgeon from the Swirsky's home town of Stratford, Conn., came to Springfield primarily to run in the race. Dr. Naci took Michael's tonsils out when he was 16-years old. Mary Naumchik was the first woman to cross the line. Mary placed 58th with a time of 33:38. "This was one of the best races I've ever run," she said. "I guess it's just the spirit of it. It makes you feel good." Matthew Chao, 23, is a first year You"g Alum"i News graduate student at Springfield who placed 151st. Matt's time wasn't im­ pressive and neither was his placement in the standings, but he was certainly the most outstanding member of the contestants. Matt is totally blind.

The Chiefs dropped games to some of the finest teams in New England and could have been the victors in many of them. SC lost one goal contests to Massachusetts, Yale, Southern Connecticut and national power, St. Louis. Four members of the team were selected to participate in the New England All-Star game.

13 A Coach Who Says Winning Isn't That Important

by T ay lor Bell The Chicago Daily News

Our thanks to Taylor Bell and The Chicago Daily News for "When I came to North Shore," recalls the 59-year old permission to reprint the following feature piece on 'Mac' McCarty McCarty, who also finds time to serve as athletic director '48, which appeared in the Daily News October 27, 1977 and teach daily classes in biology and physical education, (Editor), "somebody told me that it was a graveyard. Nobody would ever believe that you could coach at North Shore and go on to coach at a bigger school." Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler and Vince Lombardi Mac had several opportunities to leave but chose to simply wouldn't understand Martin Joseph (Mac) McCarty, stay. "The students are so very challenging," he says. "As a teacher, I could never find a greater challenge. If you make How could they relate to a football coach who won't scout a statement, you better be able to back it up. And the entire opponents, refuses to take game films or give pep talks, family is involved in the educational process - the doesn't bother to compute statistics and even launders his students, parents and teachers.

McCarty is the compassionate fellow McCarty developed his coaching philosophy from two who once ordered a 73-yard field goal attempt into a stiff good teachers - former Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson wind on second down in a charitable gesture to hold down and John Bunn, who once coached college basketball great the score against a thoroughly beaten opponent, When was Hank Luisetti' - during his days at Springfield College. the last time Woody or Bo did that against Northwestern? Somewhere between Springfield and Oklahoma, Wilkinson McCarty is unique. In 31 years at North Shore Country must· have had a change of heart. But Mac never bowed to Day School in Winnetka, Mac has won more games (163) the pressure to win, win, win. than any football coach in Illinois. And if his team wins "Football should be approached as an educational activ­ ity, an enjoyable one," he says. "You shouldn't push kids so another one, against De La Salle's junior varsity Saturday, it hard in spirit that they can't protect themselves. If they get will earn an at-large invitation to the Class I-A playoff. fired up too much, they'll get hurt. I want our kids to play "But winning isn't that important," insists Mac. "Sure, to the best of their ability but to play relaxed and without qualifying for the state playoff would be exciting for the any undue pressure. kids, but we've never thought about it. In fact, I didn't "The colleges, pros and even many high schools have intend to apply for the playoff. But before I could stop the taken the joy out of playing games.

But our kids play football because it's challenging. What manner of coach is McCarty? In three decades, They must use their intellect to understand the game. And he has coached football, basketball and baseball at North we want everyone to participate.

"We don't measure our the goal line or misses a tackle or blows a blocking assignment? "What irritates me most of all," he says, "is success on wins and losses," explains Mac, "but on whether when kids are mentally lazy, when they don't think, when or not the kids are happy with the season they are having, if they neglect to do what they know they have to do. they enjoy themselves." "If the players don't want to practice during the last week "I want my athletes to give 100 per cent on the field - of the season, I know I haven't done a good job. I haven't but no more than that.
