Plant Manager Allen Dies
At Home Here
Chauncey Loomis Allen, who has served Alfred University since 1932 in the capacities of trustee, chairman of the finance committee, plant manager, and
C. Loomis Allen Passes
chairman of the student aid com- mittee, died at his home here Sun- day night, September 7.
After a brilliant career as a man- agement and public ' utility engineer which spanned nearly half a century, Mr. Allen returned to his Alma Mater, Alfred University, where he worked until his recent death.
During his active business life, he had become one of the most prominent and successful engineering executives in the country. He pioneered the de- velopment and management of street railways in many parts of the United States particularly in Northern New York, and later organized public util- ity management corporations, one of which he headed until 1932, when he sold out his holdings. Throughout his life, he was a highly public-spirited citizen, contributing generously and usefully to the social and civic wel- fare of his surroundings.
Native of Syracuse
Mr. Allen iwas born in Syracuse, January 16, 1870. He received the early part of his education in the public schools of his native city, com- pleted this part of his studies at Cicero, and then attended Alfred Uni- versity from 1886 to 1889. Later he matriculated at Syracuse University, where he was a student from 1889 to 1890.
He began his career in the engineer- ing department of the Norfolk and Western Railroad in 1890, and two years later resigned to organize and become a member of the civil engi- neering firm of Mather & Allen in Syracuse.
Achieved Outstanding Success In the years which followed, before his return to Alfred in 1932, Mr. Allen achieved outstanding success in his profession and his fame was widely recognized as an administrator. In 1906, he was named a vice-president | of the Utica and Mohawk Valley Rail- way Company. Until 1917, he ser- ved as chairman and director and president of man railway companies.
Shortly after the United States entered the World War, Mr. Allen was named transportation expert for the

Faculty Positions Filled As Fall Semester Opens For Schools This Week
Vacancies on the faculties of the Ag-Tech Institute, the Ceramio College and the Liberal Arts College have been filled ready for the opening of classes here at 8:00 o'clock Thursday morning.
Newly appointed members and brief sketches follow.
In the Agricultural and Technical Institute, Norman Newman, formerly of tlie1 Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, has been named to fill the post left vacant by the resignation of Robert Brooks.
Lauds Alumni For Interest In Placement Of Teachers
"Unemployment of A l f r e d Alumni in the field of teaching has been reduced in a far greater degree than either national un- employment or even general un- employment in the teaching pro- fession," stated Dr. Joseph Seidlin, head of the bureau of appoint- ments, in discussing teacher place- ment problems here this week for the October issue of the Alumni News.
"In part* it goes without saying,"
continued Dr. Seidlin, "that is due to the state of national emergency, but, in greater part, it is the result of the very finest interest and the very active cooperation of our alumni.
This year, it seems to me for the first time, the Bureau of Appointments has been far more the clearing-house of Alfred Alumni in teaching, than the usual college teacher's agency.
"It was with some glow of pardon- able satisfaction that several times in the last few weeks, we had to reply to inquiries by regretting that we are 'fresh out' of candidates in a particu- lar field," further commented Dr.
Seidlin.
In offering reasons tor this unusual activity, Dr. Seidlin suggested that a growing reputation has been acquired by Alfred alumni for quality teaching and administration.
In speaking of the iuture, Dr. Seid- lin said, "Aside from the small matter of the war, and the concomitant un- certainties of induction into or re- lease from military duty, we in New York State have the added question mark caused by the fifth year in teacher preparation. It may be, there- fore, that some time within the next two or three years, we shall be faced with a shortage of teachdrs. Then again, it is not at all improbable that we may still have a great surplus. I defy anybody to make a safer pre- diction. I defy anybody to make a prediction."
Dr. Seidlin's complete discussion of this subject will be found in the October issue of the Alumni News.
Regular Chapel Programs I Begin 11:00 A.M. Friday
Chapel services are conducted by Chaplain William H. Genn6, pastor of the Union University Church, each class day except Thursday at 11:00 o'clock in Kenyon Memorial Hall.
At various times throughout the year, members of the Alfred Chris- tian Fellowship and other students conduct the programs. Guest speakers are also often slated for these daily services.
Other programs for October and November are Hilfaker, who will speak on "Wild Life of the Beaver Ponds," on November 6; and two speakers, Joyce Barthelson and Nil- I kanth Chavre.
Prexy to Address Students
President J. Nelson Norwood has chosen for his opening address at the Convocation in Alumni Hall, Thurs- morning at 11:00 o'clock, the subject,
"I Believe in Wishful Thinking".
This will be the President's first verbal message to the entire student body this year.
National Defense Needs to Be Met by Mathematics Changes
In step with the present national emergency are the changes announced in the curricuum of the mathematics department for the coming year.
The changes which will affect all freshmen in the Ceramic Engineering School and some of the mathematics majors were instigated by a desire on the part of the department to improve the method of teaching and a desire to add to the mathematics courses material which would be of use in the present national emergency.
The freshman engineering course which for some years has been given as one five-point course will this year consist of two courses running simul- taneously. The first semester will ihave a two-point course in College Algebra and a three-point course in I Trigonometry. The second semester
will see the Algebra course continued and the Trigonometry replaced by Analytic Geometry.
In addition, the entering class has been segregated so that those fresh- men who have had solid geometry and trigonometry in high school will find themselves having a rapid review of plane trigonometry and then enter- ing upon the study of Spherical Trig- onometry. Dr. Lloyd L. Lowenstein, chairman of the department, states that the addition of Spherical Trig- onometry for those students qualified to study it is in accordance with the recommendation of the War Prepared ness Committee of the American Mathematical Society.
The course in Solid Geometry, re- quired of Mathematics majors, will also include the study of Spherical
j Trigonometry.
Mr. Newman will assume Mr.
Brooks' classes in air conditioning and refriegeration. He has been in Al- fred since last February working on the defense program. He is a gradu- ate of Rochester Mechanics Institutes and has taken work at the University of Rochester and also at Alfred Uni- versity, in addition to having had considerable experience in industry.
In the Ceramic College, the follow- ing appointments have been made:
Dr. T. L. Dunkelberger has been ap- pointed Assistant Professor of Chem- istry filling the position vacated by the resignation of Professor Harrison.
Dr. Dunkleberger graduated with highest honors from Dickenson Col- lege. He received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Pittsburgh ia 1937, serving as a graduate assistant at that institution while working for his Doctor's degree. He was Assis- tant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Idaho in 1937-38, and since 1938 has been Assistant Profes- sor of Chemistry at Duquesne Uni- versity. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi societies, and is co-author of a popular textbook on semi-micro qualitative analysis.
Dr. Dunkleberger will have charge of the courses in qualitative, quantitative and semi-micro qualitative analysis and epectroscopy.
Dr. J. Willard Sutton has been ap- \ pointed Assistant Professor of Ceramic Engineering and Research Chemist to fill the position vacated by Professor L. R. Shone, who had succeeded Pro- fessor F. E. Lobaugh when he resigned during the year. Dr. Sutton graduated from Alfred University in 1917, and received his Ph.D. degree at the Uni-1 versity of Pittsburgh in 1924. He has had additional advanced work at Cor- nell University, at the New York State College of Ceramics and at the Uni- versity of | Aix-Marseille, France.
While studying for his Ph.D. degree at the University of Pittsburgh, he ser- ved as a graduate assistant. Since 1924 he has had change of the chem- istry and ceramic work at Fukien Christian University, Foochow, China.
The war in China has made it neces- sary to discontinue the work that he was carrying on there, a situation which accounts for his availability to us at this time.
VanDerk Frechette has been ap- pointed graduate instructor in the Department of General Ceramic En- gineering. Mr. Frechette graduated from the New York State College of Ceramics in 1938, and since then has been doing graduate work at the Uni- versity of Illinois. He will assist in the Petrography and Enamels labora- tories.
T. S. Haile has been appointed graduate instructor in the Department of Industrial Ceramic Design. Mr.
Haile graduated from the Royal Col- lege of Art in London in 1935. He has taught art at the Leicester Col- lege of Art, the Kingston School, the Hammersmith School of Art and the Camberwell School of Art, all of Eng- land. More recently he has been con- nected with Cooper Union of New York City. He has exhibited his pro- ducts extensively in this country and abroad, where it has won high recogni- tion.
John G. Mohr has been appoint- ed graduate instructor in the Glass Technology Department. Mr. Mohr is a graduate of Penn State College. Dur- ing the past year he has been an as- sistant at this institution.
Dr. William J. Knapp has been ap- pointed to the North American Cement Corporation fellowship. Mr. Knapp graduated from the New York State College of Ceramics in 1938 and since then has completed the require- ments for a Ph.D. degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Milton Tuttle has been appoint- ed to the Orton Research Founda-

Welcome to All
To accept the invitation of the Editor of The Fiat Lux to pre- sent my welcome and greetings to you all as the University opens is a real pleasure.
To members of the faculties of all the schools, to administrative ameers, to office workers, and maintenance personnel, and to all students, my welcome, greetings, and good wishes.
The University opens for the third successive year with the svorld in tragic turmoil and with democracy and totalitarianism still locked in a desperate life and death conflict. With the defense program, the Selective Service Act, and the ever nearer approach of our country to actual war, we are all deeply involved in the un- certainties and distresses of the times. In this quiet valley perhaps we are as little involved in these world-shaking events as anywhere.
While we must not ignore them—indeed, we must do all that we can regarding them—our thoughts and activities will be chiefly con- cerned with other matters.
To you students 'especially, I express my welcome to a year of new growth in strength of body, mind, spirit, and skills. You who are enrolled for the first time I greet as you enter a new period of life potentially rich in new experiences in many and varied ways.
Alfred is a friendly college and its typical "hello" is universally used on the campus. This pleasant atmosphere is conducive to quiet concentration and hard work. Your first tasks as students have to do with your scholastic work. Everything else depends on this. No success in extra-curricular life is worth while if you fail academically. With class and laboratory work succeeding, you have a right to happy times in your athletics, dramatics, journalistic activities, fraternities and sororities, campus associations, and social programs. Plan participation in some phase of our religious activi- ties. For all of you who lead in and manage these varied student!
affairs, I bespeak a successful and satisfying year.
Alfred University begins this week its one hundred and sixth year as an educational institution. It has a long and honorable record. '
Again I welcome you all, students, faculty members, and em- ployees of whatever rank or service, to this new school year, and urge that all work together to make it the best in the history of Old A. U.
J. NELSON NORWOOD, President

Seriousness Needed
A serious note needs to be struck in the editorial columns of student newspapers throughout the nation as the fall semester opens in hundreds of college. This year there will be less and less room in the editorial columns of these papers for matters which are strict- ly of a local or student interest. Annual squabbles over campus affairs, or politics if you will, will be forgotten in the midst of more serious, sincere discussions of the bigger issues and problems which face not only the student population, but the world as a whole.
One might call this year the "hey-day" for college journalists, because of the unlimited opportunities which the international state of affairs sets up. This year college editors may experience that rare sensation of influencing readers in matters thaf really count.
For instance, the college generation of the present day will become the leaders in the solution of the many economic, social and political problems which will be a natural outgrowth of the current world upheaval. This college generation which is to play so important a part will read student papers and will, directly or indirectly, fall under the influence of what student editors will have to say in the coming year.
With this thought in mind then, we pledge ourselves to the serious tasks which are ahead of us.

HANOVER, N. H.—(ACP)—A man who never went to Dart- mouth has given the college $500,000 because he believes it a
"wholly masculine institution".
Emil Brommer, Brooklyn, N. Y., manufacturer, specified in his will that the funds may not be used for the "so-called dead languages"
or for maintenance of competitive athletics.
AMES, IOWA—(ACP)—"Midget chemistry" is providing lots of fun, as well as education, for Iowa State college freshmen. Test tubes are about the size of little fingers and liquids are measured with eye droppers. Besides proving an entertaining novelty for students, midget chemistry is said to be safer and more healthful as well as more economical.

Executive Committee Adopts Appreciation
An appreciation was adopted by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Alfred University here on September 11, for C.
Loomis Allen, whose death occurred at his home here on September 7. It follows:
CHAUNCEY LOOMIS ALLEN 1870-1941
An Appreciation
The Trustees of Alfred University are called upon again to mourn the loss of one of their number in the person of C. Loomis Allen, who passed away at his home in Alfred, September 7, 1941.
Born in Syracuse, New York, January 16, 1870, he obtained his edu- cation in the public schools of Syracuse and Cicero, and at Alfred University and Syracuse University. His Alfred years were 1886 to 1889.
He became a reedgnized and nationally known leader in the field of electric railway engineering, management and financing.
While his chief activities in this profession centered around Syracuse, Utica, and Oneida, New York, he was engaged at various time in similar wor(k in Ohio, Maryland, and Connecticut.
He was a past president of the American Electric Railway Associ- ation, and the New York State Railway Association. He was a mem- ber of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Mr. Allen was active in various civic and fraternal organizations, and because of his keen interest in historical reading and study be- came somewhat of an authority on certain phases of the American Civil War, 1861-65.
Since 1932, when he retired from business, Loomis, as he was familiarly called, has lived in Alfred serving the University as trustee (elected in 1909), Finance Committee chairman, plant manager and student aid committee head. In all of these services he has devoted himself loyally to the interests of his Alma Mater.
Alfred conferred on him the honorary degree of Master of Science in 1905, and both Alfred and Syracuse honored him with the degree of Doctor of Science in 1916.
The Trustees through their Executive Committee desire to express the deep appreciation of Mr. Allen's services during his long years on the Board; and especially of his devotion, loyalty, and untiring labors while employed by the University during these past nine years;
and their profound sense of loss at his death.

College Town -By The Editors
Not even the army has been able to separate two brothers who have been inseparable since childhood days.
Vincent and Thomas Ciampa of Cuba, who were both graduated from Alfred this June, are now in the med- ical corps stationed at Camp Lee, Va., and have bunks side by side in the barracks.
When Vincent was drafted in June, Thomas immediately volunteered.
Their requests to be allowed to re- main together in same camp were ans- wered and they are now in the re- placement center at Camp Lee for a 13-week preliminary period.
The brothers, who were graduated here with academic honors, have been honor students throughout their school life. They were graduated in 1937 from the Bolivar Central School as valedictorian and salutatorian of their class. They had resided in Boli- var until two years ago when their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Ciampa moved to Cuba.
Both boys are planning careers as doctors after the national emergency is over and they believe their training in the medical corps will be helpful in the realization of their ambitions.
Recipients of Honor Scholarships Named
Five freshmen have been selected as recipients of the honor scholar- ships established by the Board of Trustees several years ago.
They are Helen Dreher of Wells- ville, Phelps Crump of Pittsford, Betty Jane VanGorder of Hornell, Frederica Miller of Dunkirk and Esther Burdick of Leonardsville.
The five schoarships were establish- ed by the Board of Trustees to allow recognition to high school graduates who give promise of being outstand- ing, all-around citizens. Scholarship is essential, but contributions through extra-curricular activities, and high qualities of character and personality are recognized also.
To insure the use of the scholar- ship during the four-year course, the student must maintain a high scho- lastic average.

V. S. N. A. S.
Jacksonville, Fla.
Sept. 17, 1941 Editor, Fiat Lux:
The first step in becoming a Navy pilot is to pass a rigid physical ex- amination, which, although a little more lenient at the present time, is still passed by only one person out of eight. If the applicant can pass this examination, submit at least two years of college credit, and appear to have the necessary qualifications of an officer, he is accepted for fight training.
He is then sworn in as a Seaman 2nd Class, V-S, a rating created especi- ally for the present emergency. He repqrts for duty at one of the twelve elimination training bases throughout the country, where he is given ten hours of flight instruction and re- quired to pass two check flights and solo in order to be sent to one of the advanced training bases, all within one month's time.
That is the official version of t h e story, but it is not the complete story.
For example, it did not include the fact that we would spend two weeks as sentries, four solitary hours of guard duty interspersed with twelve hours rest, before we would even see an airplane. Nor did it include the fact that Seamen 2nd Class, V-S, receive only $36.00 a month, plus subsistence.
It also did not include the fact that, after being sent to an advanced train- ing base, we would have to wait there for a period of from four to nine weeks before being appointed as an Aviation Cadet, the real beginning of flight training.
These facts, when learned and ex- perienced by the students caused a sight morale problem. Thie was prob- ably because we expected so much and received so little.
However, on becoming Cadets, con- ditions greatly improve and we can go back to the story book life.
Students were sent here to the Re- ceiving Ship at Jacksonville, the name given to the group of students waiting for Cadet appointments, from all over the country. Usually, students living on the west coast are sent to Corpus Christi, Texas; students living in the middle west are sent to Pensacola, Florida; and students living on the east coast are sent here. However, New York students are found in Texas, and California students are found here, such is an example of the how the Navy does some things.
While in the Receiving Ship, we drilled, went to radio code class, and worked at the hangars. Other than that, we did nothing but produce rumors, and what rumors. I some- times wonder what actual warfare could produce.
All that is past now, thank heavens, but it seemed like a lifetime waiting those three months to become a Cadet.
In my next letter, I will describe the base here and its so-called "Lib- erty Town" Jacksonville, later on I will tell about the life of the Cadet.
Sincerely yours,
Mario C. A. Carota, Aviation Cadet, U. S. N. R.

Backfield Is In Test Against Rutgers In Opener
Short Shots
of
Sport Shots
By Bob Moebus
"Just where does the Frosh, man or woman, fit into the athletic picture here at Al- fred?" This writer has heard this question many times since arriving on the campus and since a column is due, felt it quite good copy for the opener.
In recent years the Frosh has been taught to more or less re- spect the prowess of a varsity man or a man sporting a varsity sweater. However, since the draft has removed some of the more prominent athletes from the Sax- on roster it has been found neces- sary for the various coaching staffs to seriously consider re- pealing the frosh rule concerning participation in varsity athletic competition. Finally it was de- cided to abandon it entirely inso- far as the football team was con- cerned. This opens a challenge to the aspiring Freshman football- er. He at last has his opportunity to be one of the highly-thought-of eleven. Since this opportunity has not been granted before, the class of '45 should welcome it, and its men should do their great- est to prove their worth to the campus. Eventually we will know the answer. Right now it is a challenge.
What about men who are not talented along football lines.
Frosh men have turned in remark- able performances in the compe- tition known as Cross country racing. Alfred has never had a weak squad of harriers. Alfred does not expect to have a weak squad of harriers for a time to come. Next year's varsity will outcrop from this year's Frosh.
Another challenge has been added to the list of athletic "dares".
As for the women on the camp- us, it is true that they don't have the wide range of intercollegiate competition granted to the men.
However, Alfred's sportswomen are recognized here and away for their ability in sports such as field hockey, archery, basketball, bad- minton and a host of others.
And for the man or woman not athletically inclined, your support Is wanted, needed, and expected.
A football team is inspired to do greater things when the crowd is with it. This is true of all sorts of competition, and when the crowd is "there," they are usually satisfied with the showing made by their favorites. Support costs nothing to give, and is such a great part of the battle for victory.
We who have been here know this and don't generally need to be reminded of it. The Frosh will learn it and they too won't have to be reminded of it. All Alfred is awaiting your answer Frosh!
Coe ' 3 0 Appointed To Teach History At AU Extension
A. James Coe '30 of Jamestown has been appointed successor to Dr. R. F.
Howes on the faculty of the Alfred University Extension School at James- town. Mr. Coe will teach history and social studies.
Mr. Coe graduated from Alfred Uni- versity with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. After gaining some teaching experience in Alfred High School, he went into graduate work earning the Master of Arts degree at Cornell Uni- versity in 1932. He filled various positions in the Jamestown education- al work teaching in night school and in the adult education programs. For two years he taught in the Emergency
•Collegiate Center at Jamestown, spon- sored by Aifred University.
He.has coached basketball and done other extra-curricular work. For a time he directed the Publicity Depart- ment of Alfred University. For the past two years at least he has been pursuing graduate studies at Cornell University in history and political science.
While at Cornell he benefltted by the War Memorial Graduate Scholar- ship provided by the alumni of Alfred University. Also at Cornell he had employment in a well-known £utoring school near the campus.
Football Team's Sugar Daddy- Is Moriatis
No one has ever stood in dis- pute as to the identity of Alfred's No. 1 gridiron fan. He's Nick Moriatis, proprietor of the Col- legiate Lunch.
Nick feeds the team every pre- season period for four weks, ply- ing hungry pigskin chasers with good substantial steaks and the like—and then tops off the season with a theatre party. It's getting to be an Alfred tradition, and this year has been no exception.
Friday night Nick placed the usual dinner before the squad, then announced that everyone was to pile into vehicles provided for the occasion, and the team journ- eyed to Hornejl. First they were guests of Mr. Peters of the Majestic Theater who announced that the show was on the house for the en- tire 30-man entourage. Then they adjourned to a restaurant where Nick sat in pride watching his charges-for-a-night eat again.
And if anyone is in doubt about the collective appetite that 30 foot- ball men can run up, Nick can personally testify that he's the No. 1 Saxon fan by displaying the bill.
Aspiring Netmen Asked to Register With Minnick
Although no definite time has been set, Coach Dan Minnick, new director of Intramural Athletics, has announced that a men's tennis tourney is being planned and that eliminations will start soon after the school year is begun.
All of Alfred's aspiring netmen are requested to register for the tourney with him in his office at the gym as soon as possible, thus facilitating an iarly opening of the round-robin play 'or the championship of Alfred Uni- versity's recquet wielders.

Saxons, Rivermen Meet In Rochester Practice
They were a bit mixed up for a while when Coach Dud DeGroot's backfield pulled its razzle-dazzle ball handling tactics, but after solving things by sharpening up their eye- sight a little Alfred Purple and Gold Gridmen took matters into their own hands and displayed a pretty good brand of football themselves Satur- day afternoon in a practice scrimmage with the University of Rochester at Rochester.
The Rivermen were able to do very little with Frank (Pike) Trigilio when he made up his mind to take a jaunt down field, and the 200 lb. Pike once outran the opposition for 40 yards off-tackle to score, tore off another dash of 65 yards before he was dump- ed, and was on the tossing end of two pass plays that went for touch- downs.
The practice was controlled, and was held mainly for the benefit of Coaches DeGroot and Yunevich, both of whom experimented all afternoon.
No official score was kept. Saxons who showed up well all afternoon were Trigilio, Big Mike Greene, easily the best lineman on the field; Jimmy Kehoe; John .Ledin, whose line play was excellent despite a broken bone in one hand; Andy Kulakowich, an artist at pass-snatching; Ed Chrzan, block- ing back; Guard Reggie Miner and End Bob Jolley, both of whom were There will be ten students permit- j consistently breaking plays up in the ted to enroll for the flight training Rochester backfield.
and 12 for the ground school training.
The extra two in the ground school group will act as alternates in event a student drops out of the flight training.
Principal qualifications for the course are the physical examination and the age limits. Applicants must have attained their 19th and not their 26th birthday by September 1, 1941.

Vacation Sends Four to Archery Camp in Vermont
Both teaching and learning have been among the activities of Alfred University archers this summer.
Attending the Teela-Wooket Archery School in Roxbury, Vermont, in June, were Mrs. Ray Wingate, Peggie Win- gate '42 and Phyllis Chamberlain '43.
Miss Wingate also took riding instruc- tion there,, while Miss Chamberlain won first place in the June, 1941 Teela- Wooket Archery School Tournament, Women's Section. June Chisholm '42 won this tournament in June, 1940.
At Archery School at Tella-Wooket this month was Grace Schlisman '43, the first of the Alfred archers to re- ceive a third class Teacher Rating Certificate. Only six third class rat- ings were given this month, and only four second class certificates. There were 56 archers at this session of th«
school.
Other Alfred archers who have at- tended this school in other years are Lois Creighton '43, June Chisholm '42, Peggy Wingate '42 and Eloise Bas- sett '42.
Two archers taught archery this summer. Miss Chisholm was archery counselor at Camp I-Wa-Su. Campfire Girls' Camp of this vicinity, at Lake Demmon. This position was held by Miss Bassett the previous summer.
Both later taught archery at the two summer religious conferences held here.

Football Mentor
Coach Alex Yunevich
Veteran Line Expected To Shine; Boasts Five Returning Lettermen
Saturday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock down in New Brunswick, N. J., three of Alfred University's football institutions will undergo heavy fire for sixty minutes when the Saxons pit themselves against a heavy Rutgers University team in the opening grid battle of the season for both squads.
Those three institutions include a line, a backfild, and a goal line un- crossed by the opposition for five con- secutive games.
Coach Alex Yunevich of the Purple and Gold squad has few worries about the first, his line, which looks to be even better than it was last year—
and only six points crossed Alfred's goal line last year. Big Mike Greene, left tackle; Reggie Miner, left guard;
Bill Hurly, center; Jerry Schwartz, right tackle; and Bob Jolley, right end, are all back in uniform with an- other year's experience behind them.
Only two spots are unknown quanti- ties, right guard and left end. Either Jim Aina, a freshman, or John Ledin, a veteran, will hold down the guard slot, with Andy Kulakowich, Bill Kopko, Red Fenton and Andy Cusi- mano waiting for the nod at left end.
Trigilio Is Triple-Threat Second on the list comes the back- field, built around the only one of last season's regulars, the colorful Frank (Pike) Trigilio, 200 pounds of triple- threat activity. Trigilio will do the bulk of the kicking, passing and run>- ning, holding down the left halfback post, and calling signals. Quarter- backing the outfit will be Ed Chrzan, who has seen service off and on fop two years as a reserve in that slot.
Probably starting at right half will be Bob Meyer, star of last year's fresh- man team, a fast, tricky runner. Jim- my Kehoe, another frosh, has been the outstanding fullback candidate and may start at that post. Reserves in- clude Cliff Clay, Julie Opacinch, Bill McKenna, Stan Fistik, John Barone, and Larry Scudder.
Line reserves are present in the per- sons of Don Rozumalski, Paul Kopko, Dutch Dutkowski, Tom Grove, Chuck Taylor and Bernie Horowitz.
Rutgers Outfit Unknown Little news has reached the Saxon camp concerning the Rutgers outfit.
Rumor has it that the charges of Har- vey Harmon have been hard hit by the draft, graduation and ineligibility, and!
that the squad is weaker than it has been in the past few years. Fore- casters predict an off season for the Grid Fathers. Rutgers will however, enter the game with the odda in their favor, thanks to a line that reputedly averages 191 pounds.
The squad will leave on Friday by- bus from the Atlantic filling station, will return Sunday, leaving New Brunswick at 9:00 o'clock in the morn- ning.
Frosh X-Country Candidates to Meet With Coach McLane
A call for all varsity and frosh cross country candidates has been is- sued by Coach James A. McLane, ath- letic director and harrier coach. All candidates are requested to report to him at the gym next Monday after noon at 3 o'clock or as soon after as is possible.
Three of last year's varsity squac are definitely returning with another trio on the questionable list. Return ing veterans include Dave Nordquist Ira Hall and Larry Caverley. Those in question are experience men in the per sons of Roger Marks, Larry Scudder and Heinz Rodies. Scudder is tied up with football obligations while Marks and Rodies are awaiting arrangemem of their schedules before definitely re porting for active work.
As usual the Frosh squad is of un known quantity, and probably will re main in the class of unknowns unti' their first outing against the- R. P. I greenies at Alfred on the eighteenth of October:
The Varsity Schedule:
Oct. 11—Army at West Point Oct. 18—R. P. I. at Alfred Oct. 25—Cornell at Alfred Oct. 31—Colgate at Alfred Nov. 8—Buffalo State at Alfred Nov. 17—1 C 4-A at New York Nov. 24—NCAA at East Lansing, Mich.

Frosh Football Men To Play Three-Game Schedule this Year
Freshman -football candidates are urged to report Monday afternoon at the field-house at Merrill Field to Coach Dan Minnick in order to get their togs and instructions for work- outs.
Contrary to rumor, the freshmen will field a squad and will play a three-game schedule, opening on the 25th of October against the Buffalo Frosh at Buffalo, and following on consecutive Saturdays against the U.
of Rochester Frosh at Rochester and Scranton-Keystone Junior College at LaPlume, Pa.
In accord with the waiving of the freshman rul, several frosh will be kept in reserve for the Varsity and will not play the freshman schedule unless cut from the Varsity. Last years freshman, playing the same schedule, failed to turn in a victory, tying Buffalo 6-6, and losing to both Rochester and Scranton-Keystone by a 6-0 count. This year the Greenies will be in the hands of Coach Dan Minnick, who succeeds Frank Lobaugh in that position, f Coach Lobaugh re- signed from the staff last year.
