. . . 

poor 

Men divested of self to put on Christ; men 

who conduct themselves in all circumstances 

as ministers of God, in much patience; 

in hardships, in labors, in sleepless 

nights; in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in 

unaffected love, in the word of truth 

men unknown and yet well known . . . 

yet enriching many. ..who themselves 

hasten with great strides to 

their Heavenly Fatherland, 

and by their aid and example 

encourage others to do the 

same, having always before 

their eyes God's Greater Glory. 

To a priest according to the mind of St. 

Paul, to a Jesuit with the spirit of St. Ignatius 

Loyola, to a teacher who somehow imparts 

to his pupils his own keen edge of 

mind and force of will, to an Alumnus of 

Regis whose love for his school is beyond 

acknowledgment, beyond praise, beyond 

admiration; to Father Joseph A. Ryan, of 

the Society of Jesus, we affectionately dedicate 

the 1950 RANGER.

All this we share at Regis, thanks to God and to our fleshly parents

The Regis faculty congratulates the members of the class of 1950 

and prays God's blessing on their lives and success in their future careers. 

The colleges and the universities of the country are graduating 

the largest number in their history. In consequence, it will be more difficult 

to find employment this year than it has been in the recent past. 

But difficulties should not rob you of your confidence. America is still the land 

of opportunity for the strong and the brave. 

Abundant success is 

within the reach of the energetic and the ambitious. There is, or there should be, 

comfort in the thought that excellence knows no hard times and that is 

merely a more elegant way of saying that there is always room at the top. 

I should like to remind you that success does not simply happen. It is made. 

It has always been, and it always will be the result of hard work and concentration 

on one's task, of eagerness to take new ideas 

and to cooperate with others, 

of interest and the initiative and courtesy. 

We confidently hope that all, Graduates and non-Graduates alike, 

will do their part in building up a better world, and your contribution cannot be

Dean of Regis College 

Louis (i. Mattione, S. J. 

Aloofness and stilted dignity have no part in the makeup of our Dean, Fr. Louis G. Mattione, S. J. On the 

contrary, Father is ever jovial, frank, and keenly interested in each student who approaches him. He is ever the 

priest and the man in the true Jesuit tradition. 

Evening Division 

Directors 

In its fourth year of existence the Night School 

has outgrown its cramped quarters downtown 

and has been permanently established on the 

Regis campus under the directorship of Fathers 

Edward Wintergalen and Joseph Ryan. Indicative 

of its expansion is the offering of new Associate 

in Science degrees and Business Certificates.

Have mercy on Thy servants, O Lord; bring them far from the

Thou and Thy Blessed Mother have woven for them a crown 

of ever enduring life. 

Jesus, kind! Thy souls release,

Grant that they may not languish in fruitless and unavailing 

grief, nor sorrow as those who have no hope, but through their 

tears look meekly up to Thee, the God of all consolation.

Lighten the weary trav'ler's load. 

Quickening steps his trek will end 

Around and just beyond the bend.

of Alumni mailing list in order to publish a monthly Alumni newspaper 

and organize the Regis Alumni Association; sponsor of annual basketball 

banquet, all-school picnic, and men's clothing booth at Regis Bazaar. The 

Delts actively supported college yearbook by soliciting over seven hundred 

dollars worth of advertising, and participated in intramural sports by entering 

a basketball team, two bowling teams and a Softball team.

In the Delta Sigma Fraternity, students 

in the fields of accounting, 

business, and economics find a 

profitable business-pleasure equilibrium. 

The purpose of the club is to 

promote interest in commerciaj subjects 

and to foster a spirit of sociability 

among its members. Those in

International Relations Club International 

Relations Club Moderator, 

Mr. Fred Van Valkenburg. 

One of the so-termed friendly relations organizations on the 

campus is the International Relations Club. It has done much 

to cement relations between Regis and other notable schools 

in the Rocky Mountain region. The organization inquires more 

closely into the policies of men and nations in world intercourse 

and participates in regional meetings with other I. R. Clubs in 

this area. 

:\ '% 

On their return from the regional 

convention at Logan, Utah, members 

of the I. R. C. stopped in to 

visit the Trappist Monastery at 

Huntsville, Utah. Left to right, 

members Andy Martelon, Len Rollins, 

Dick Hodges, Roland Martines 

and Bob Pattridge gaze from the 

surrounding fields back toward the 

community buildings. 

The I.R.C.ers, on their 

arrival, were conducted 

on a complete tour 

of the monastery by 

the guestmaster, 

Father Phillip. 

One of the biggest events sponsored by 

the I.R.C. during the year was the raffle 

of two Notre Dame-Southern California 

game and train tickets to raise money to 

finance their convention trips. Shown 

above is Mary Jane Kelly, I.R.C. candidate 

for queen of the Coronation Ball, 

drawing the winning ticket in the raffle.

Milwaukee 

Milwaukee Club Moderator, 

Fr. Harold Stansell, 

S.J. 

Young Schlitz boosters from the Milwaukee 

area were the first to form a 

sectional club on the campus. The organization 

was founded to encourage 

others from the famous city to attend 

Regis and to form the nucleus of a 

Regis Club in Milwaukee. The club 

primarily sponsors social affairs for its 

members. 

The Milwaukee Club's officers sit and 

dream of the day when they can once 

again roam the fair avenues of their 

home town. Left to right they are: Dick 

McCabe, vice-president; Buck Druding,

in the Milwaukee Club. Shown here is

"Yeah, Buster, I'm from Missouri, and I've got 

to be shown." So rest the sentiments of the 

Missouri Club. Members of this state organization 

have done much to add to the spirit of 

friendly rivalry on the Regis campus. Founded 

on a social basis and with the object of recruiting 

fellow "Show-Me-Staters" to enter the ranks 

of the Regis forlorn, the Missourians will continue 

to provide "the Crest of the West" with 

stalwart scholars and loyal boosters.

Nebraska Club 

The men from the rolling plains of Nebraska are organized 

into one of the three sectional clubs on the Regis 

campus. Their aims are social, having banded themselves 

together in a spirit of cooperation and good fellowship. 

These enthusiastic advocates of the tall corn may be referred 

to as the kernel of a great body of Nebraskans 

migrating to the hallowed halls of the Crest of the West 

who, they hope, will follow them in the future.

Spanish club moderator, Mr.

Los Caballeros has always been an active campus group. It holds joint

paramount in the minds of the likable Senors. We join them in their 

cries of "Viva Regis."

in the classrooms. Joint trips with Loretto to the mountains 

find all the ski areas cluttered with "snow-bunnies," "trailapes," 

and "schussboomers" of all manner and description. 

All you need is the determination, the boards, and a pair of 

strong underpinnings to become one of the arrived.

Our Lady's Sodality 

Sodality of Our Lady moderator, 

Fr. 

Harold Stansell, S.J. 

The Sodality of Our Lady combines spiritual, social, 

and intellectual activities to present a well-balanced 

program for the Regis College student. Two special 

groups of Sodalists, the Golden committee and the 

Sacred Heart committee, are engaged in instructing 

children in Catholic teachings and thought. Recitation 

of the Rosary, Masses, and periodic conferences are 

sponsored by the Sodality during the school year. As 

must be the case on a Catholic campus, the Sodality 

of Our Lady is an integral part of Regis life. 

To Help Others 

Through Mary. 

Devoted to the cause of Mary, Our Mother, 

these men led the Sodality for the school year 

of 1949-1950. They include: Dan Mahoney, 

Student Council representative; Clyde Thomas, 

secretary-treasurer; Father Stansell, Mike Malone, 

prefect; Andy Martelon, vice-prefect; and 

John Grove, Student Council alternate.

Mother Abbess Describes Life 

of Therese Neumann at Regis 

Two hours passed as a minute on Wednesday night, March 22. An eyewitness 

account of one of the most amazing stigmatics who ever lived 

was given by Mother Augustina, O.S.B., of the South Boulder Benedictine 

nuns to a large assemblage of faculty, students, and friends. Mother 

described the acute pain Therese Neumann of Konnersreuth goes through 

on the Fridays of Lent and especially on Good Friday, when the holy 

woman receives the torments and sufferings of the whole three-hour 

Passion. The intense feeling of Mother's description and her sincerity 

turned a long discourse into seemingly brief few comments upon the 

woman who lives only on the Body and Blood of Christ. Three weeks 

after her talk at Regis, Mother Augustina was elected Lady Abbess of 

St. Walbugas's abbey at Eichstaett, Bavaria, whenceher group of nuns 

came to escape the Hitlerian persecution in the 1930's. 

##t 

/ 

Mother Augustina, O.S.B., recently named 

Abbess of St. Walburga's Convent in Eichstaett, 

Bavaria, is shown displaying the 

blood-stained head covering of Therese 

Nieuman to over two hundred people who 

gathered at the Sodality's invitation on 

March 22, 1950, in the library reading room 

to hear of the personal experiences of the 

Benedictine nun from South Boulder concerning 

the German stigmatic. 

Sodality Stresses the Spiritual 

Side of College Activity 

Suffering—intense and indescribable— is suggested by the blood 

stains on this head veil worn by Therese Neumann during one of 

her Friday ecstasies of pain. 

Leaving the Regis chapel after one of 

their religious conferences are these 

Sodalists: From the left, Schaded, 

Hayden, Negele, McWilliams, Callahan, 

Sillstrop, Malone, and Monty. 

Revitalized under competent, energetic leadership, the Sodality of Our Lady has 

carried through a year's program of help to others through Mary. On December 9, 

1949, the Regis group held its own reception of a large number of aspiring sodalists. 

Formerly this was done in conjunction with Loretto Heights or other schools. 

At the Friday student Mass a collection has been taken up for the Jesuit missions. 

One of these was held out, however, to be sent to a priest in Utah who needed tires 

for his car to cover his widespread but very poor parish and missions. Another went 

to Mother Augustina in appreciation for her inspiring discussion of Therese Neuman. 

Throughout the school term the coke machine in Carroll Hall has been under 

the charge of the Sodality, with the proceeds going to the organ fund. In January 

a drive for canned goods, usable old clothes, and money was launched by Sodality 

members to aid Denver's Goat Hill mission. Two of the organization's committees, 

the Golden and the Sacred Heart, have taught religion at the State Industrial 

SchooJ for Boys at Golden and at various Catholic youth centers in Denver. Father 

Stansell and others of the faculty have given talks sponsored jointly by the Sodalists 

of Regis, Loretto, and the nurses' homes during the school year.

R 

As always, the athletic organization on the Regis College 

campus is an important club. "R" Club members have distinguished 

themselves in one or a number of athletic activities: 

tennis, baseball, golf, and basketball. Their clean 

sportsmanship in all phases of athletic life endeavors to 

elevate Regis to greater dignity and glory. 

The men who merit the distinction of wearing 

the "R" are interested in more than just 

basketball, tennis, golf, or baseball. This 

group of athletes participate in other fields 

of endeavor to advance the cause of Regis. 

Two such examples stand out during this 

school year. Forty orphans from St. Vincent's 

and St. Clara's Homes were the guests 

of the club on February 24 at the first 

Regis- Western State game in the Denver 

City Auditorium. During that same month, 

on the third, the "R" club sponsored the 

annual "Flunker's Frolic" at the Welshire 

Country Club. Jerry Coursey and Paul Villano 

were in charge of this very successful 

affair.

way of entertainment. This is all a part of bringing more spirit and good humor to the Regis

Since its post-war conception two years ago, the Ranger has 

progressed until it has become one of the -best yearbooks in the 

Rocky Mountain Region. It has expanded from 96 to 176 pages 

in this short two years, and shows all signs of being even better 

this year than anytime in the past. Offering opportunities in 

various fields of make-up, photography, typing, office work, and 

practical experience in many fields, the Ranger has come to rank 

among the more necessary and outstanding achievements on the 

campus.

Through its active National Student Association 

committee, Regis College has gained recognition 

throughout the Rocky Mountain region as a 

school producing leaders and clear thinkers. 

Special delegates, alternates, and observers 

from the committee are sent to all regional 

N.S.A. conventions and meetings during the 

school year and to the national convention in 

the summer. Problems of scholastic, domestic, 

and international scope are discussed and practical 

solutions are offered. 

Complementing N.S.A. in its work is the Joint Committee 

for Student Action. Delegates to regional, and 

national meetings of J.C.S.A., N.F.C.C.S., and U.S. N.S.A. 

are, as a rule, chosen from members of the campus 

J.C.S.A. committee. Membership in this committee 

affords a splendid opportunity for Catholic Action in 

the student sphere of life, for friendships with student 

leaders from other schools, and for personal training 

in public speaking and parliamentary procedure.

The largest list of candidates, twelve in number, the 

greatest interest ever generated in a Regis College election, 

85% of the student vote, and the greatest attendance, 

over 350 couples, all point to the huge success of 

the Fourth Annual Coronation Ball, sponsored this year 

by the Ranger staff on December 5, 1949.

Regis' annual St. Patrick's Day celebration 

was revived in 1947. For three years following 

this, the Irish softballers were frustrated by their 

All-Nations opponents on the field of athletic 

combat. This sad situation reached a bitter 

climax in last year's encounter when the Irish 

were slapped with a stinging 22-2 defeat. 

However, the fighting spirit of the Old Sod 

burned bright this year, and enabled the Sons 

of St. Patrick to down the All-Nations 10-7. 

For the first time, the underclassmen had their 

own battle. Here, however, the Irish did not 

fare so well, and absorbed an 11-7 loss. 

The day ended with the Student Council's

by John Follis' band, refreshments, and entertainment

Winter School of 

Bringing Christ to the Rockies" 

Regis College played host to thirteen schools of higher learning on 

the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in the first annual 

Winter School of Catholic Action from January 27 to 29, 1950. 

Intense and conscious of their responsibility in a world fast turning 

pagan, the delegates gathered to hear eight priests and three 

lay people advise and exhort them to act the part of true 

Christians at all times. 

From St. Louis and the Queen's Work, came Fathers Thomas 

Bowdern, S.J., and Robert Southard, S.J., to give their expert 

opinions on the social problems that confront the Catholic college 

student. Fathers William Faherty, S.J., Harold Stansell, S.J., and 

Christian Bonnet, S.J., from Regis conducted discussions on other 

questions concerning history and philosophy. Fathers Charles Forsythe, 

O.S.B., Colorado University Newman Club moderator, 

Charles Jones, and Robert Syrianey from the Denver Archdiocese 

explained the critical points of parish and secular college life for 

the Catholic student. Mr. James Madigan, instructor in Philosophy 

at Regis and Loretto Heights, and his wife, Mrs. Madigan, and 

Mr. and Mrs. John Downs gave invaluable information on ethics 

and Christian Marriage. 

105 students from 13 regional schools attended the first Winter School of Catholic Action sponsored by the Joint Committee for 

Student Action of the Rocky Mountain Region. A number of the delegates assembled on the steps of the Administration building 

for the official photo.

Before his deeply interested listeners during one 

of the main talks of the W.S.C.A., the Reverend 

Charles Jones of St. John's parish, Denver, urged 

a full understanding of the Mystical Body as the 

only means of bringing about the true spirit of 

Catholic Action. 

Newmanites from the secular schools 

represented in the W.S.C.A. meet with 

the Aquinas Academy of Regis College. 

'The Responsibility of the Catholic to his Protestant Neighbor" was the subject 

of this interesting discussion which was led by the Reverend Thomas Bowdern, 

S.J., of the Queen's Work of St. Louis, Mo. Those listening to a good point being 

put across are, from left to right: Miss Ruth Schauermann from St. Joseph's

She is here performing one of these compositions

Inanimate though it may be, the new organ will serve a very

For this reason it was blessed and dedicated to the "greater 

honor and glory of God" by the president of the College, Reverend

The Regis College Alumni Association was re-activated this year and has prospered greatly 

since its rejuvenation. A Board of Directors representing a great span of graduation classes 

was chosen after which this board elected the officers. Numerous activities and projects were 

planned and carried into operation. These men are advised of meetings and agenda by the 

Alumnus Review, a mimeographed newsletter put out on the campus by the Alpha Delta 

Gamma fraternity, and mailed monthly or mor£ often to the members of the association. 

Another function of the group is the formation of an employment bureau for students and 

graduates of the school. The formation of the Regis Alumni Association fills a sorely needed 

and integral part of Regis College, and with the enthusiasm and cooperation shown thus far 

will undoubtedly flourish.

C. McCarthy, S.J., John V. Coyne, and Aldo Notarianni. 

Sweater and letter awards were presented by the Reverend 

J. Clement Ryan, S.J., head of the board of athletics, 

to the varsity and freshmen cagers. Later the J. J. 

Cella memorial awards were given the varsity players by 

Jack Cella, Regis graduate. A trophy was also presented 

to the squad in appreciation for Regis' appearances at 

Fort Warren's annual polio fund game the last three 

years.

on his desk at Regis. 

Varnell Urges Basketball 

Be Given Back to Player 

Discussing the more recent trends in college coaching, Larry Lee 

Varnell, Regis college basketball mentor, declared to the gathering, 

''It becomes more apparent every year that a demanding 

public isn't interested in the building of men, but instead it is, 

'What Price Victory!' " Varnell made no apologies for the 

showing of the Regis cagers during the 1950 season. He said, 

however, that this year's quintet was a pioneer team, helping 

bring about a chanqe from the small time to the big time at 

Regis. At the right, Larry Varnell delivers his stirring challenge 

to the future Ranger basketball teams and coaches to think 

primarily of sportsmanship and then of the financial end of the 

sport. 

120

Oh! Raise the victor shoulder high 

Yes! Lift him, raise him to the sky; 

Fierce in the combat, fierce but fair 

The foe must yield to skill so rare.

Athletic 

Board 

Football, as an organized varsity sport, on the Regis college campus disappeared 

with the war and has not been revived. Basketball, therefore, 

has been given top billing in the athletic hopes on the "Crest of the 

West." Behind the expert tutelage of Larry Lee Varnell, the Rangers' 

cage prowess has seen rapid growth, reaching the culmination of success 

in last season's amazing 36-3 record. With bigger schools and faster 

company now taking an interest, Regis' athletic board arranged a longer, 

tougher schedule for this campaign. Two road trips, one to the east 

coast and the other to America's western shores, plus several important 

encounters at home, highlighted the lineup of real basketball competition. 

However, no sort of prominence could come to Regis without the efforts 

of the four men who see to it that others do take notice of the Rangers. 

To the aforementioned athletic board—Father J. Clement Ryan, Father 

Kenneth McKenney, Mr. John V. Coyne and Mr. Paul Cella—must go 

due credit for their solid program of bringing the "Buzz Boys" into the 

real "bigtime." From the beginning, Regis was a hard luck team in 1950. 

Close games that could have gone either way slipped from the grasp of 

the Rangers on many occasions, not through the lack of cage savvy nor 

the will to win. The breaks were just not with the ever-trying Jesuit 

collegians. Injuries, too, hampered their progress in other important 

matches. But win or lose, the Rangers remained always the true sportsmen 

and have set their eyes firmly upon next season's cage wars. 

These men control the athletics of Regis college. From the left are: 

Fr. Kenneth McKenney, Fr. J. Clement Ryan, and Mr. John V. Coyne. 

In the inset is Mr. Paul Cella.

Staff 

Larry Lee Varnell, head 

coach in basketball and 

baseball, has turned in a 

brilliant job of piloting 

Ranger teams for the 

past four years since his 

discharge from the navy. 

Harvey Moore, former 

Regis star in both basketball 

and baseball, directs 

the freshmen squads in 

both sports.

Pete Berney 

It's squatters' rights in this country, podner. An unidentified Regis player desperately 

clutches the ball on the floor with Denver's Dick Gray, 23, lunging for 

it. Those awaiting the outcome are Sid Ryen to the left, Jim Fennelly, 20, of 

Regis, John Griffin, 32, Dick Brown, 9, Regis, and Dale Toft, 14. 

Coach Larry Varnell opened the 1949-1950 basketball season 

faced with the most grueling schedule in the Rangers' history and 

minus the highly valuable Harvey Moore. In the main, however, 

the squad returned still intact, with All-Americans Bob Fisher and 

Bryce Heffley in the fore of the group which included Bob Wallace, 

Dick Petry, Jerry Coursey, Jerry Simon, Tom Waters, and Pete 

Berney. The Freshman crop proved to be very bountiful, with Tom 

Kavanaugh, Dick Brown, Pat O'Leary, and Jim Fennelly moving 

up to the varsity. 

B.Y.U. 53, Regis 37 

The wraps were pulled off this season's edition of the Rangers 

on December 8, 1949, at the Denver University arena against a 

touted Brigham Young quintet in the first annual preseason Skyline 

Six Tournament. Playing inspired ball in the first half, the Buzz 

Boys crept to a 28-27 halftime lead over the Cougars. The 

Utahans came back after the intermission to cool the torrid pace of 

the rapid-firing Rangers, and qualified for a second round tussle 

with a 53-37 victory over the Northsiders. 

Regis 42, Colorado A. and M. 34 

Striking back the next night after their Brigham Young loss, 

the Rangers turned loose their sharpshooting cagers against a 

hustling Colorado A. and M. team in the tourney's consolation 

bracket. Regis dominated the play throughout, and breezed to a 

42-34 win. 

Regis 50, Utah State 41 

On the third evening of the tourney the Brown and Gold 

made it two in a row over Skyline Six opposition, outpointing a 

good Utah State five, 50-41, to win fifth place in the eight-team 

tourney. Bob Wallace, through his all-around floor play, earned a 

place on the All-Tournament team. Big Bryce Heffley led the 

Regis scoring with 15 points. 

Hamline 63, Regis 40 

Hamline's Pied Pipers, on their December jaunt to the Hawaiian 

Islands, put skids on Regis' two-game winning streak, December 

12, with a 63-40 triumph over the hometowners. Displaying a 

smooth functioning combination of passing and shooting, the 

Minnesotans ran away with the game in the second half. Heffley 

and Petry were the bright spots in a losing effort. 

He is head and shoulders above any 

crowd. Tom Kavanaugh, 16, stands 

out in this mass of humanity as he 

demonstrates his long distance push 

shot to the Emporia State cagers. 

Regis men are Bryce Heffley and Tom 

Waters, 21. 

Dick Brown

Jerry Coursey 

Heads up, everybody—here it comes. Bobby Wallace, 22; Tom Kavanaugh, 

16; Bryce Heffley, 13, and Dick Brown, 9, await an Oklahoma City University 

shot from the side. 

Regis 64, W. Texas State 51 

After their Hamline loss, the Rangers traveled to Kansas City 

take part in the N.A.I.B. four-team invitational tournament. 

to 

In their first game on December 16, Regis encountered West 

Texas State. Jerry Simon turned in one of the finest bits of play 

in his collegiate career, with a 22-point splurge against the 

Texans, as the Brown and Gold copped the tilt, 64-5T. 

E. Illinois State 68, Regis 61 

In the final of the preview tourney, Eastern Illinois State 

slammed the brakes on the Buzz Boys with a close victory over 

the.Denverites, 68-61. Outjumped throughout by the taller boys 

from the Midwest, the Rangers tried in vain to keep up in the 

scoring, but faltered in the final minutes. 

Wisconsin State 64, Regis 52 

Back home, the Regis Rangers entertained the Wisconsin 

State Teachers, who were led by the nation's highest scorer, Nate 

DeLong. In the City Auditorium fracas on December 20, DeLong 

proved his usual form by potting 21 markers against the Rangers. 

The Teachers had little trouble in downing a cold Regis quintet, 

64-52. 

Oh, no! Don't let that fall on me. 

Bobby Wallace, 22, seems to be 

pleading as he raises his hands in the 

air. Above him, Bob Fisher seeks to 

block an attempted Hamline rebound. 

Regis 68, Emporia State 46 

The Rangers then took a breather on December 22, with an 

easy win over the Emporia State Teachers from Kansas in the 

Denver City Auditorium. Their uncanny accuracy and smooth 

ball control made the night's 68-46 triumph seem a rather simple 

matter. Heffley led the production with 18 points. 

Regis 49, Caterpillars 43 

Jim 

Fennelly 

After this, the Rangers launched an eastern road trip in an 

auspicious manner, conquering a previously unbeaten Caterpillar 

Tractor squad from Peoria, Illinois, 49-43, on December 28. Bob 

Wallace and Bryce Heffley led the team victory over the National 

Industrial League cagers. 

125

Jim Fennelly drives in for two points around the left side of a tough Hamline 

defense, while another Ranger and two Pipers follow him for the rebound. 

Baltimore Loyola 69, Regis 50 

In their second road encounter, the Rangers found it difficult 

to understand the whys and wherefores of eastern officiating, and 

the whole first squad, save Bob Wallace, exited from the game 

via the foul route, with a good portion of the second half yet to 

play against the Baltimore Loyolans in their home gym. The winners 

received ample revenge for the drubbing they suffered in 

1949 in the N.C.I.T. in Denver at the hands of the Rangers. The 

boys from Baltimore turned back the western invaders, 69-50. 

Regis 69, LeMoyne 57 

It was Regis all the way in the next game of their trip, with 

a 69-57 triumph over LeMoyne college at Syracuse, New York, on 

January 2. Big Bryce Heffley hooked in 29 points for the top 

individual total by any Regis player this year. 

Siena 57, Regis 38 

The next evening the Rangers traveled to nearby Albany to 

come out on the short end of a disastrous 57-38 count. The 

Denverites seemed to be suffering from frostbitten hands as they 

went down before an undefeated Siena five in the Albany Auditorium. 

The New Yorkers wee in the midst of their most successful 

season, and were in no mood to let the visitors deter them. 

St. Bonaventure 73, Regis 57 

Regis remained in a deep freeze in the last tilt of their farreaching 

swing. In a game of remarkable contrasts, the Rangers 

absorbed a decisive loss to a fine St. Bonaventure outfit. The 

contrast was chiefly in the percentage of shots made from the 

field in the first half. Regis connected for 7%, while the Bonnies 

were racking up a high total of 73% of theirs. The Brown and 

Gold rallied in the remaining minutes to close the gap, but suffered 

a 73-57 beating. 

Dick Petry, 1 5, was just about two 

steps ahead of this Emporia State defender 

in his fast break down the center 

of the floor. 

Bryce Heffley 

126

Tom Kavanaugh 

It went that a way, boys. Regis Bob Fisher, 17, Bobby Wallace, 22, and Bryce 

Heffley, in center of a group of Denver players, watch the ball fly out of 

bounds. Racing in from behind the action is Dick Petry, 1 5, to retrieve it. 

Denver men in the scramble are Dick Gray, 23, Dale Toft, next to Heffley, and 

Fred Howell. 

Regis 57, St. Mary's 45 

Taking a short rest from their 3,000-mile tour, the Rangers 

then launched an invasion of the west coast to play three games 

against opposition in that direction. In the first meeting, a game 

in the San Francisco Cow Palace, facing the Gaels of St. Mary's 

college, the Brown and Gold crushed them, 57-45. Petry and 

Heffley led the attack with 18 and 13 points apiece. 

Santa Clara 65, Regis 61 

The next night, January 14, Regis faced the Broncos of Santa 

Clara in the feature game of a twin bill in the Cow Palace, and 

emerged on the short end of a thrilling 65-61 overtime loss. Regis 

led until the final minutes, when the Broncos caught up with them 

and went into the overtime to win. Regis was acclaimed one of 

the best basketball teams to show on the west coast this year by 

the sportswriters of that area. 

This basketball is rough business. 

Diminutive Bobby Wallace puffs up 

his cheeks as he takes his bumps in 

this jam under the basket. Bryce 

Heffley, 1 3, moves in behind the St. 

Mary's player coming down off the 

board. Watching from the side is 

Dick Petry, 15. 

Pat 

O'Leary 

Nevada 69, Regis 50 

Homeward bound, the Rangers tackled the Nevada Wolfpack 

at Reno on January 16. Denver's Brown and Gold found the going 

rough and fell behind during the last few minutes to go down to 

defeat, 69-50. Bryce Heffley kept the Rangers' hopes alive, with 

a 24-point output. 

Regis 61, Colorado Mines 48 

Playing in the City Auditorium after their return from the last 

trip, the Rangers downed a scrappy Colorado School of Mines five 

on January 20. With ragged play on both sides, the Rangers 

outlasted the Orediggers, 61-48. Bryce Heffley hooked in 18 

markers, and was ably abetted by Dick Petry's 13.

Dick Petry 

Denver's Dale Toft, 14, gapes at the finesse of Jerry Simon, 23, who sai 

unobstructed for a shot from the side. Other players are John Griffin 32 and 

Dick Gray, 23. 

Denver University 57, Regis 50 

Primed for one of the two big games of the year on Regis' 

schedule, the January 28 meeting with Denver University, the 

Buzz Boys ran into an unexpected snag in the person of Denver's 

Paul Hickey. The lead changed hands with each successful basket 

in the first half, but during the second part of the game, the unheralded 

Hickey's 19 tallies practically won the game singlehanded 

for D.U. In the heartbreaking loss, the whole team acquitted 

themselves well. Bob Fisher turned in a particularly brilliant performance, 

scoring 13 points and being a thorn in the side of the 

Denver squad throughout the night. 

Regis 69, Ft. Warren 39 

Cheyenne, Wyoming, next saw the Regis Rangers in action 

against the soldiers from Fort Warren in a Polio benefit game. 

The Denverites had little trouble in walking to a 69-39 rout. 

Sophomore Dick Brown broke into the scoring spotlight with his 14 

points collected in 10 minutes. 

Oklahoma City 52, Regis 40 

a doubleheader at the Denver University arena on February 

In 

Regis 10, met the Chiefs from Oklahoma City in a slow moving 

contest. The Rangers fell victim to the excellent ball control 

tactics of the Oklahomans, 52-40. Combining their height with 

one little man, Farrell Craig, the visitors overcame the Regis crew, 

although Heffley led all scorers with 16 points. 

"It's all yours, boys," Dick Petry 

seems to be saying with a sweep of 

his arms. Bobby Wallace and Bryce 

Heffley strain for the ball coming off 

the backboard. 

Regis 78, Colorado Mines 48 

Colorado Mines again became the victims of the Rangers on 

February 1 1 , in the losers own fieldhouse. Never headed after the 

tip-off whistle, the Brown and Gold exploded to a halftime lead 

of 39-20, and mounted the total to a 78-48 game-ending score.

Bob Wallace 

Oh. how shocking. All those bad boys on that poor young man. Tom Waters, at 

the extreme right, looks askance at the scramble for the ball in the 

Emporia State game. Regis players fighting for the ball are Jim Fennelly, 20, 

Bryce Heffley, and Dick Petry, at the right. 

Regis 49, West Virginia State 44 

This was Bob Wallace's personal game of the season, as he 

led his mates to rousing overtime victory over West Virginia 

State, the National Negro Champions, in the Denver City Auditorium 

on February 13. Displaying great spirit against their speedy 

opponents, the entire team rose to the occasion. Wallace put on 

a sensational exhibition of ball hawking during the entire game 

from the taller West Virginians. Heffley's last second goal, which 

sent the game into overtime, and Tom Kavanaugh's alert play, 

were the deciding factors in the victory. 

Phillips Oilers 57, Regis 33 

The Phillips 66 Oilers from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, were the 

next set of opposition on the Regis schedule, at North Platte, 

Nebraska, on February 16. Expecting an easy time for the night, 

the Oilers found, to their dismay, that Bob Wallace had other 

ideas. He made the national A.A.U. Champions work hard for 

their victory. Phillips overpowered the Regis collegians, 57-33. 

Denver Chevrolets 64, Regis 43 

High in the air over the heads of three 

Denver University defenders goes Bobby 

Wallace, 22 (dark), for a beautifully 

executed layup shot. The D.U. 

players shown are Dick Gray, 23; Fred 

Howell, 10; and Ronnie Johnson, 22 

(light). 

Back home the next evening, the Regis Rangers faced another 

redoubtable foe in the impressive Denver Chevrolets. Experience 

and a heavier supply of manpower brought the downfall of the 

tired Northsiders in the City Auditorium clash. The home-town 

A.A.U. forces outlasted the Rangers, 64-43. 

Regis 67, Idaho State 39 

Idaho State journeyed to Denver from the north to come up 

against the Brown and Gold in the City Auditorium on February 

19. They went away the next day smarting from a 67-39 setback. 

Bryce Heffley and Tom Kavanaugh led the Regis explosion.

Jerry "Cork" Coursey 

Jerry is a four-year letter man, always a fiery between a win and a loss in many a close ball 

ballplayer and a spark on the Rangers. Cork game with his deadly one-handed set shot. The 

was never a starter, but the finest of clutch place Jerry held on the team as well as in the 

players, along with having a deadly eye. An hearts of his fellow students and many fans will 

outstanding reserve, he proved the difference be hard to fill, and both wish him the best of 

luck in his future life. 

Jerry Coursey 

Cork waits in vain for the 

rebound only to have it flit 

away into the waiting arms 

of one of the Emporia State 

cagers. 

Bob "Cat" Fisher 

/ \ 

Bob Fisher 

Bob's middle name could well be "first" for all of the 

honors he has gained under the spangles of Regis. 

First man from the Rocky Mountain region to be 

named All-American from the N.A.I.B. First to score 

300 points in a single season at Regis, first string for 

his four years on the "Buzz Boys." Cat will long be 

remembered for his fancy shooting, dazzling passing, 

and yeoman work on both back boards. "Fish" leaves 

with the respect and good wishes of all who have 

watched him play. 

"The Cat" flips one of his 

memorable push shots thru 

the nets for two points 

against an out-played Emporia 

State outfit.

The faces of Jim McDonald, 5, 

and Joe Hutton, Jr., 7, are taut 

with expectancy as Dick Petry, 15, 

drives in behind Hamline defenders 

Jim Fritsche, 20, and Lloyd

Fresh from their victory over Idaho State, the Buzz Boys made 

duck soup of an ineffective Western State squad two nights in a 

row. In their first evening's encounter, the Rangers eased by the 

invaders, 55-41, with Heffley potting 19 points. Bouncing back

the next night, the Brown and Gold toyed with the Westerners for 

another simple win. Heffley, Fisher, and Wallace combined their 

talents in the 45-37 waltz. 

Denver University 50, Regis 45 

February 28 was the second important date on the Regis 1 950 

basketball schedule—a return match with the Pioneers of Denver 

University. Losing by 14 big points at the intermission, the Buzz Hamline 74 ReQIS 66 

Boys came back to almost pull the game out of the fire near the 

end of the tilt. Again Bob Wallace was a demon on the floor with 

both his ball hawking and his scoring. He led the Regis attack 

with 15 tallies. However, the cross-town rivals once again had 

the upper hand at the closing gun, winning 50-45. 

Regis 77, Adams State 44 

Regis 63, Adams State 45 

Regis was invited to the N.A.I.B. in Kansas City again this 

year. In accepting the bid, the Rangers also stopped off at Hastings 

college in Nebraska to play a chapel benefit game. This 

meeting proved to be a successful warmup for the forthcoming 

action in Kansas City, as the Rangers overcame the hometowners, 

56-49. Heffley and Kavanaugh led the way for the visitors with 

16 and 12 markers apiece. 

"The luck of the draw" pitted Regis against the Pied Pipers 

of Hamline in a replay of the 1949 championship final. The outcome, 

too, was the same as last year's, as the defending titlists 

outlasted Regis by a 74-66 count. The Missouri fans and the boys 

from Hamline will not soon forget the great drive and spirit of the 

Rangers, who were led by Fisher, Heffley, Petry, and Wallace. 

Nelson Fuel Co. 62, Regis 53 

Even the second loss of the year to Denver could not dampen Regis closed their 1949-1950 cage season in the National 

the fight in the Rangers, as they came back for a two-night series A.A.U. Tournament in Denver against the Nelson Fuel Company 

against Adams State college in the City Auditorium on March 3 of Toledo, Ohio. Bryce Heffley, with 19 points, and Bob Wallace, 

and 4. Regis had it easy in turning back the Teachers both times, with 13, were the mainstays in the Regis attack. Again it was 

77-44 and 63-45. In the first game the bench was cleaned as experience and depth of the Toledo collegians, playing under the 

the whole squad, led by Bob Fisher, Bryce Heffley, and Jerry commercial banner, that overcame the Ranger efforts. With this 

Simon, ran up the second highest score of the year. The same defeat, the Rangers ended up with 17 victories and 16 defeats.

Regis which went to the finals 

of last year's tourney with Hamline, 

was supposed to bow quietly 

out of this year's event. But 

the Rangers ignpred all the dire 

forecasts. They were ready for 

Hamline. 

Early Regis Lead. 

Led by Bryce Heffley and 

Richard Petry, the Rangers took 

charge early and after twelve 

minutes they were on top, 13 to 

26, and going strong. 

But then a hunk of basketball 

fury named Hal Haskins broke 

loose. He drove in under the 

basket for a lay-up. He faked 

his man out of position and 

lobbed one in. He followed with 

a long set shot. And all this 

time the Rangers were going 

scoreless. 

Haskins didn't let up with 

these three spectacular shots. 

He dumped in three free throws 

before Regis cracked the scoring 

column again and ran his 

total to eleven straight points 

before Dave Hegna, teammate, 

broke up his streak with a 1-

Startling Haskins Percentage. 

In the first half, Haskins hit 

seven of twelve field goal attempts, 

ten of ten free throws 

and sunk his last eleven shots 

in a row. 

With four minutes to go the

Freshman in Second Year 

After spending three highly productive seasons on Regis cage 

teams, Harvey Moore, graduate manager of athletics, was given 

the opportunity of directing the Frosh hardwood hopes. Moore, in 

his first year of coaching, turned in a highly successful job of 

tutoring his youthful charges in the rudiments of college basketball. 

Sixteen victories against two setbacks prove that his ten 

squad members did not fail him. 

Regis Yearlings Cop First D. U. Tilt, 69-63 

Like a cold winter blanket of snow, Regis Freshmen cooled a hot 

shooting Denver University Frosh outfit at City Auditorium on January 

28. Regis maintained a slim margin throughout the game after 

coming from behind in the opening minutes. Tom Conlon was especially 

effective in getting his highest total of the season, 27 points. 

As usual, Ed Kohl also stood out for the victors. 

Ranger Frosh Repeat Over Denver, 41-37 

In a fiercely fought return engagement, the Regis Freshmen proved 

their mettle again in the Denver University arena. Featuring a new 

zone defense, the Brown and Gold slowed the high powered D.U. Yearlings 

to a crawl. The usual "boom-boom" attack was abandoned in 

favor of a more deliberate variety which paid off equally well in 

points. George Eckert, with 16, was the high man.

Medics Fall In Season Opener To Frosh, 54-24 

Regis College freshman basketball aggregation opened their 1950 

cage campaign against a weak Fitzsimons hospital quintet in the 

Fitz gym. In portent of what was to come, Ed Kohl and George 

Eckert were the scoring "hot shots" of a solid team victory. O'Connell 

and Robinson consistently swept the backboards. Although the 

offense was still in low gear, the frosh evidenced a great potentiality. 

Lanky John Conway shows how he 

lofts his shots over the defenders' 

heads. 

Ed Kohl, high scoring freshman, 

demonstrates his push shot artistry. 

Airmen Hand Frosh First Defeat, 57-45 

The Ranger yearlings absorbed their first setback of the young season 

at the hands of the Lowry Air Base Airmen in December. Playing the 

victors in the Lowry gym, the freshmen lost the lead and the ball 

game in the final two minutes. Regis showed some of the rough edge 

that was soon to be remedied. 

Sterling J. C. Downed By Freshmen, 79-62 

The young Rangers made a trip to Sterling very profitable on January 

1 1 by proving their cage abilities to the hometowners in a 79 to 62 

rout. The Junior college foes were led a merry chase by Ed Kohl, who 

was responsible for 28 of the Regis markers. 

Regis Routs Fitzsimons, 72-56 

Rewriting their earlier triumph over the Medics from Fitzsimons, the 

Regis yearlings showed the polish and offensive power they had acquired 

since the earlier part of the season. Pat O'Connell on the 

heavy work around the backboards and Ed Kohl in the scoring made it 

no contest after the first few minutes. 

Yearlings Crush Rockmont, 83-57 

With almost forty per cent of their shots swishing through the nets 

from all points of the court, the Regis freshmen crushed a game 

Rockmont College five in the winners' home gym. Led by Kohl and 

Eckert, the freshmen turned in their highest total of the season. 

Frosh Hit Pay Dirt; Uncover 67-56 Victory 

Tom Conlon broke into the scoring limelight with 22 points as the 

freshmen met the Colorado Mines frosh in the City Auditorium for 

their first tilt in that arena. Regis enjoyed a bulky edge throughout the 

contest, and marked down the Miners as their fourth victim in a row. 

Rockmont Swamped, 81-47 

Even the cramped confines of the Rockmont gymnasium failed to stop 

the explosive young Rangers. Playing with the invaluable George 

Eckert, the northsiders all broke into the scoring. Don Robinson hit 

13, his high for the year.

Freshmen Sink Pueblo, 64-46 

Victory's smile remained bright over the heads of the Regis freshmen 

in their journey to Pueblo to meet that city's Junior College basketbailers. 

A sound shellacking was administered to the junior collegians 

by virtue of smooth team play and dead-eye accuracy on the 

Rangers' part. Conlon demonstrated his floor work ability to the full 

while Pueblo was held to one point in the last eight minutes. 

Early Lowry Defeat Avenged in 76-67 Win 

Smarting from an earlier defeat, the Rangers started fast and didn't 

stop until the final gun to even a series with the Lowry Airmen in 

the City Auditorium. Both teams fired away at a terrific rate, and 

for the first time during the season an opponent topped the high Regis 

scorer. Lowry's Carey with 32 points led Ed Kohl who totaled 23. 

Nevertheless, the rampaging frosh made the aviators their ninth 

consecutive victim. 

Yearlings Strike Second Bonanza at Mines, 71-54 

It seemed to make small difference to the freshmen as to where they 

cavort; they kept on winning, even though only one game was decided 

on their home floor. Playing at Mines in a return encounter, 

they again trounced the junior Orediggers. 

Tom Conlon, St. Louis transfer, 

fires for two from the side. 

Lumbermen Chop Away; Regis Tumbles 60-54 

In an overtime tussle against the city recreation department's Naismith 

league's champs, the Strait Lumber Company, the Regis freshmen 

suffered their second and final loss of the season in City Auditorium. 

The company squad caught the Brown and Gold in the home 

stretch and played a blazing extra five minutes to cop the tilt. 

Western State Measured, 56-39 

In an Auditorium preliminary, the Ranger yearlings headed back to 

the victory trail with a resounding success over the Western State 

frosh. Playing their usual fast-passing, sharpshooting brand of ball, 

the freshmen were shown the way by Conlon, Eckert, and Kohl. 

Freshies Repeat Over Western, 71-49 

Up and over goes Don Robinson's 

one-handed push shot. 

Ed Kohl rode the high tide of his freshman scoring season as Regis 

trampled the Western Staters for the second successive evening. Kohl 

sank 32 points, setting a frosh scoring record. He was amply supported 

by Hett and O'Connell. Tom Conlon incurred a broken nose 

which sidelined him for the remainder of the season. 

Regis Trips Undefeated Adams State, 46-43 

The Brown and Gold tripped a previously undefeated Adams State 

quintet in another Auditorium curtain-raiser. Accuracy and shrewd 

ball control aided the frosh in their victory. The game was in doubt 

during the first half, but the Rangers built a commanding lead after 

the intermission and coasted to triumph. 

Frosh Make It Two Over Sterling, 57-39 

The 1950 edition of the younger Rangers closed their extremely successful 

season with a real team win over the Sterling Junior college 

cagers, thus making it two victories over that eastern Colorado 

school. As usual, the eagle-eyed Kohl was the scoring standout with 

27 tallies, while Robinson and Gentleman swept the boards and 

dominated the floor play. 

Flashy George Eckert maneuvers down 

the court to set up his mates for another 

two points.

The bench jockeys ride high against any disputed decision. Chick Rossi, standing, gives the old razz ma tazz to the umpire 

in the second Mines game. Others showing slighter degrees of disagreement are: Jerry Simon, Nick Palizzi, Len Capra, Jim 

Stromsoe, Jerry Lange, Jerry Monty, Jim Malone, Rossi, Vince O'Brien, Jack McCoy, Gene Costello, manager; Tom Crotty, 

Wally Mikos, and Bill Reedy.

Rangers Pelt Orediggers 

In Season Opener 15-8 

The Ranger nine opened their 1950 season in a 

game at Golden, facing the Orediggers of Colorado 

School of Mines on April 19. Unleashing their 

hitting power, the Rangers piled up an eleven-run 

lead in the first three innings. Jack Baxter, George 

Minot, Jerry Coursey, and Vince O'Brien led the 

onslaught against the Miners' pitching, collecting 

thirteen hits of the nineteen garnered by the Denverites. 

Pete Berney, Regis hurler, was able to hold 

down the Orediggers' bats in the clutches, and 

coasted to a 1 5-8 victory.

Buffs Display Power in 

Trouncing Regis 14-3 

In their first game away, the Rangers met Colorado 

University on their home field in Boulder. 

The Buffalo power at the plate and their defensive 

strength proved to be the downfall of the 

Regis men. Holding the Rangers scoreless until the 

seventh inning, C.U. piled up a ten-run lead before 

the Rangers pushed across three runs on a 

triple by shortstop Bob Burns with the bases loaded. 

The Buffalo hitting, which included three home 

runs, and their stellar pitching was more than 

Regis could match. The final score saw Colorado 

far in front by a 14-3 total.

only bright spot for Regis at the plate. He drove

Rangers Rally to Overcome 

Mines on Home Field 9-8 

Regis met Colorado Mines for the second time 

of the season at the Orediggers home field in 

Golden on May 3. The Miners pushed across 

four runs in the initial frame and apeared to be 

coasting to an easy victory throughout the first 

part of the game. Ranger power, however, 

broke loose in the sixth inning and shelled 

Mines pitching for six runs, chiefly on the stick 

work of Tee Alioto, Paul Villano, and Chick" 

Rossi. Colorado Mines rallied in the seventh 

and eighth to score four tallies and give them 

an 8-6 lead. Regis was not to be denied. The 

Ranger sluggers pounced on the Miner pitching 

for three runs in the top of the ninth and gained 

a hard-earned 9-8 win. Pete Berney went the 

route for the Brown and Gold to chalk up his 

second victory in two starts. 

Playing flawless first base, Jack Baxter 

makes it extremely difficult for enemy runners 

to get even farther. He is shown here

The Rangers went looking for their third win 

of the year at Fitzsimons Army Hospital on 

May 6. Jack Baxter, Regis hurler, had the Gl's 

handcuffed for seven innings and was riding 

high on a five-run lead piled up by the Ranger 

hitters. The soldiers nipped Baxter for two runs 

in the seventh and in the eighth frame lowered 

the boom for eight runs to ice the game. Fitzsimons 

copped the tilt, 10-5.

the Bantam Ben of the roost. In a 

tri-school meet between Regis, Colorado 

University, and Colorado college, 

"Dapper Dan" fired a par 71 

to take medalist honors for the competition. 

Since then, he has been at 

it in the remaining matches facing 

the team. Then, too, in making mention 

of Regis golfdom's greats, the 

name of Don Powers certainly cannot 

be excluded. On the thirteenth 

hole of the Willis Case links in Denver,

hole-in-one. The ball curved around 

some obstructing trees to sail 346 

yards to the cup. According to the

Even though the cheerleaders were not organized until extremely

the school in the games in which they performed. Regaled in 

gold sweaters, gray slacks, and white shoes, they hit their peak 

in the Denver University game which was played in the University 

Arena on February 28. With the spirit displayed this year, and 

an early start, the Rangers will undoubtedly have the support of

the champion. With the caliber of play on a 

much higher plane and the officiating on as

Although not the first time softball was played on the campus 

under the intramural committee's direction, the league this year 

was composed of a far greater number of teams than in the past 

and was marked by more frequent play. Games, which were 

played both at noon and in the evenings to accommodate 

boarder and day students, were of higher caliber and afforded a 

chance for students to find exercise and relaxation from their

Tom Crotty demonstrates his winning 

performance on the mound for his 

mates in the intramural softball 

league. Umpire Jim Malone prepares 

to make the call.

Intramural 

Ping Pong 

Jack Jagger gets set to swat the ball back across 

the net in some ping pong play in the Corral in 

Carroll Hall. 

John Adamson swishes the ball over the net in some intramural ping 

pong play against Bob Steffes. Watching from the side are Jim Abts, 

Chuck Gardner, and Dick McDermott. 

Jim Abts moves in close to the net to force his opponent 

back, in one of his intramural encounters.

Ooph ! Up and over goes the ball in this shot of some Regis intramural volleyball league action. Shown are Don Reuther, 

Tom Conlon, Dave McMahon, Jim Sherman, Jerry Monty, Charlie Chapman, and Sam Kearney. 

Intramural Volleyball 

One of the many new sports inaugurated 

in the expanded intramural 

program is volleyball. Already the 

competition has proven itself very 

keen, as the photo shows. Teams 

have been involved in the league 

action since early spring. 

It's cooperation that wins in the 

tough ones. Two fellow members of 

one of the intramural volleyball 

squads go high to bat the ball back 

into the opposition's territory. From 

the right they are: Jack Goodier, Jack 

Eckroat, Leo Kerker, Don Robinson, 

Rock Roche, Ned Peistrup, Leo Dolan, 

Al Gallegos, and Leo Kennedy.

Jean Carrica and George Eckert are snapped in some stiff play in the intramural handball proceedings. 

Intramural 

Handball 

It's not the back of his hand that Dick Brown is giving to Jerry Monty; Dick is just batting the old ball around in intramural 

handball competition. Watching at the right is Chuck Beatty.

Ringers were a dime a dozen in the intramural 

horseshoe competition. Buck Druding 

lets fly with a potential three points as Jerry 

Lange looks on. 

Ringers and leaners have become part of the everyday 

conversations on the Regis college campus this spring with 

the placing of horseshoes on the list of the expanded Student 

Council's intramural sports program. A tournament 

involving a score or more of the top horseshoe flingers 

around the Crest of the West has been in progress during 

the month of May. The winners will have their names engraved 

on the intramural championship plaque in the Student 

Council office. They will also receive little gold 

mementos of their prowess in the pits. 

Tom Conlon winds up for a pitch as Don 

Reuther prepares to add a ringer to his 

Watch that form. Jim Holahan tosses his offering in the horseshoe 

tournament. Bob Gentleman waits his turn at the pit.

AS CATHOLICS, we are grateful to Catholic 

education for the many advantages and 

blessings we have received. We are more 

grateful for the assistance and cooperation 

we have received in bringing up our children. 

Above all, we are grateful because 

in Catholic education, we see the nucleus 

around which the Spiritual Forces of the 

World can rally in the struggle against the 

ruthless forces of materialism.

To the many who so concerned themselves with the welfare of the 

Ranger, who inquired on innumerable occasions (whether appropriate or 

not) the number of weeks behind schedule the yearbook was running, 

and who feared the deadline far more than the editors themselves, we 

extend the 1950 Ranger. You will find all one hundred and seventy-six 

pages completed at long last. 

Extremely understanding counsel and guidance was rendered by the 

Rev. John J. Quirk, S.J., faculty moderator, who has endured the same 

trials admirably for two years, and by all the other members of the faculty 

who were the epitome of helpfulness and consideration. 

Henry Pohs again this year deserves mention for the adaptation on 

the fly-sheets and other sketches contained throughout the book. Moreover, 

without the expert advice and cooperation of The A. B. Hirschfeld 

Press in the persons of Edward Hirschfeld, Arthur Milano, Phil Levine, 

Glenn J. Church, Bill Handleman, and Earle Graves, an edition such as 

this would not have become a reality. To the Register System of Newspapers 

and to the Denver Post, we owe extreme gratitude for the use of 

certain of their pictures in our pages. And just a passing word of thanks 

and gratitude for the time and effort expended by members of the staff, 

all of whom were indispensable. 

Finally, no epilogue to a Ranger would be complete without mention 

of those who converted the Ranger desks and environs into a place of 

convocation and recreation, a library (but seldom), a "hell-box" and 

lunch room, a smoke shop and ash tray—who sat on our prints and ransacked 

our drawers for "previews," who piled our desks two or three feet 

high with miscellany, who observed the "no admittance" sign by applying 

it strictly to everyone but themselves, who wore out the new typewriter 

ribbons, "borrowed" the scissors, pushed the brush to the bottom 

of the glue container, and who offered their assistance but were busy 

when asked. At this late date then, when the final Ranger forms are 

going to press and our hearts are overflowing with indulgence for all humanity, 

we dispense with all of these contracted grievances with a smile 

and mumble something about the lives of Ranger editors being "just a 

little more complete and just a little happier" because of them. 

{LjulTIcu&^t 

Editor-in-Chief

As the awarding of the diploma signifies the commencement 

of the graduate's college life, the distribution of the 1950 

Ranger brings to a close another year in our attempt to record 

life "On the Crest of the West."
