252 The Notre Dame Alumnus June, 1937 Football Ticket Facts For 1937 It is very important for alumni to know these facts %rhich the ALUaiNUS has secured from the Athletic Association : 1. Ticket applications for the 1937 football games will be mailed July 20. SALE OF TICKETS OPENS AUGUST 1. 2. They will be mailed to all alumni on the ALUMNUS mailing list, at the address being used on that list. If you do not receive your blanks by August 1, advise the Alumni Office promptly. 3. They are printed, ALUMNI across one end, expressly for alumni, and are the only blanks received which get alumni preference. Use them for your application. 4. Alumni whose dues for 1937-38 (payable as of June 1, 1937) are paid, will receive preference in the allotment of tickets until September 1, OR UNTEL ALL TICKETS H.A.VE BEEN SOLD FOR A GIVEN GAME. (It is impossible to hold an indefinite Alumni Asain Urged to Place Orders Early section for alumni and at the same time reject applications from other interested patrons. But alumni preference will be extended to dues-paid alumni until September 1 or while the sale is open.) 5. With at least two games promising a sell-out before the season opens, alumni desiring preference are urged to apply for their alumni allotment as soon as the blanks are received. 6. Alumni may have general public application blanks upon request, or may send in the names of others desiring tickets, and blanks will be mailed to them for one or more games from the Athletic Ofiice. (The practice has saved many alumni time, money and general grief.) 7. Season ticket blanks for the home games have been mailed to alumni in the immediate area. Any others interested may secure the information by writing at once to the Athletic Association.

Lawlor, chaplain of the Knights and himself a popular and militant crusader in Catholic principles, comprised a most able group. Many of the alumni of Utica gathered after the meeting for a short session before our train time, led by the Hitzelbergers, father and son. Doc Kelley, Frank Donalty, Vin Fletcher, et al. Tribute to Club Officers When it is realized that during the year we held some forty meetings in the principal cities of the United States, practically all under the auspices of the various Notre Dame clubs of those cities, it must be appreciated that I have not the opportunity here to pay to the fine, able, aggressive officers of all those clubs the real tribute and praise which they so richly deserve. I wish to say to them, however, we have not overlooked our duties in reporting regularly their loyalty and their achievements on behalf of Notre Dame to Father O'Hara and I propose to leave as a part of the official records of the Alumni -A.ssociation a full, detailed account of the accomplishments of all these clubs and of the men who so ably directed their activities. The Notre Dame Spirit .A.nd now I shall pay final tribute, and I assure you it is from my heai-t, to one who has been my constant guide and counselor and associate in ev^ery activity of which I was a part during this past year—I" express my great personal obligation to James E. Armstrong, executive secretary of the National -Alumni .4.ssociation. Father O'Hara in his utmost desire to cooperate with me to the fullest extent permitted me to have Jim with me at everj' meeting that we held this year, and we traveled together from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I want to say to Father O'Hara and I want to say to the .41umni Association of Notre Dame that there is no Notre Dame man more true, loyal or more solicitous for the welfare and future of Notre Dame than is my good friend and your good friend, Jim Armstrong. I now bid you all. Adieu. I go back into the ranks cheerfully, for I want to tell you tinlhfully that I am most happy when I am there. Due to the great energy and the marvelous loyalty of hundreds and hundreds of Notre Dame men whom 1 have met this year I have learned anew the true definition of unselfish service. I now know and appreciate and shall always treasure the real meaning of the Noti-e Dame Spirit.
June. 1937 The Notre Dame Alumnus 253 ATHLETICS Last year at this time we told you about how Notre Dame athletes had compiled the most successful winning percentage in dual competition in Notre Dame history. No one expected the boys of 1936-37 to repeat what with graduation losses practically wiping out most of the teams. They didn't repeat, but the year waa one of which alumni, students, coaches, or players need not be ashamed. The basketball team held its own, winning 20 out of 23, to become the unofficial national champion and to set itself up as perhaps the greatest quintet in Notre Dame history. The football team slipped only slightly, losing one more game than it did in 193.5, when a senior team won 7, lost 1, and tied 1. The track team, undefeated in 1936 had a losing season, but it might have been a winning one except for the fact that at no time did Coach John Nicholson have full strength available. At that, Notre Dame won the indoor Central Intercollegiate conference title, and took third in the outdoor meet. The Irish were fourth outdoors last year. Coach Jake Kline placed a brand new team on the field in baseball, having lost seven of his eight 1936 regulars, excluding pitchers, and he came through with a .647 season. The golfers produced a .778 season, which is good enough considering everything, but it is still the worst season in percentages in Notre Dame golf history. This year's team couldn't help it, of course, that previous teams had been better, or that Purdue and Wisconsin both had their hottest rounds of the year to win. The tennis team improved to the extent of one added victory over last year. But more than that, the Irish looked much better in defeat with a sophomore-junior team than they have for several years. When Michigan State won an 8 to 1 decision, for example, the Irish forced them to three sets in seven matches, taking the first set in five matches. The fencing team, after two undefeated years, won five, lost 3, and experienced its only tie in the brief history of the sport on the campus. The percentages of the teams follow: W L T Pet.

Prospects, despite the loss of eight regulars by graduation, are slightly better than they were last year at this time. This slight ray of hope is largely offset by the increased stiffness of the schedule. The 1936 record follows: (Elsewhere you ^vill find an important note about tickets.) Notro Dame, 21: Carneffie Tech. 7. Notre Dame. 14 : Washington U., 6. NotrB Dame. 27: Wisconsin, 0. Notre D,-une, 0 : Pittshursh, 26. Notre Dame. 7: Ohio State. 2. Notre Dame, 0 : Navy, 3.

BASKETBALL • The only graduation losses suffered by the basketball team were John DeMots, reserve center; and Don (Ked) Allen, reser\'e guard. Capt. Ray Meyer was re-elected, and he will lead, from his forward position, a group containing such stars as Paul Nowak and Johnny Moir, all- American center and forward, respectively; Tommy Wukovits, Earl Brown, Ed Sadowski, and Mike Crowe.

FENCING The fencers lost Capt. Telmo de Landero and John McAuliffe by graduatico. Captain-Elect Jack Zerbst, Bob Seco, and Salvatore Scarlatta form the nucleus of the 1938 team. In addition to the record, which follows, the Irish took second in the middle-western foils championship of the Amateur Fencers League of America. Hermanson's Fencing club of Chicago took first honors. The Irish beat out Chicago, Northwestern, the Lake Shore A.C., and the Edgewater A.C. Notre Dame, 8; Northwestern, 9.

TRACK A look at the track record shows that the only meet in which Notre Dame was really outclassed was the first of the indoor season with Indiana. Drake won by four points while Dan Gibbs, star Irish pole vaulter, was nursing a pulled muscle. Harold Langton, another vaulter, who did 13 ft. 3 inches the next week, was unable to better 12 feet against the Bulldogs. The Irish completed their meet with Pittsburgh in a 63-all tie, when Coach Nicholson asked for a mile relay to settle the issue one way or the other. He did this knowing Pitt, with Art Thomas and Johnny Woodruff available, would probably win. And Pitt did win, thanks to Nick's sportsmanship and his dissatisfaction with ties in general. Had Greg Rice, sophomore mile sensation, not been laid up with a throat infection, had Eddie Boyle not fouled by half an
