Buffalo Passing Looks Tough
By DON HALBERSTADT
This Saturday, Villanova will
travel to New York to meet the
University of Buffalo Bulls. Coach
Doc. Urlch's Bulls defeated Delaware
last Saturday while Villa
nova was defeated by Boston Col-
lege.
Receiving is Buffalo's strong
point with senior split- end Dick
Ashley returning after missing the
1967 season with a leg injury.
Ashley already owns career records
for receptions, yardage and
touchdowns. Chuck Drankoski
moves to flanker and there are
two lettermen tight ends, Paul
Lang and Terry Endress.
The running attack is led by
tailback, Pat Patterson, who broke
the single season rushing mark
(666 yards) last year playing part
time. Joining Patterson in the
backfield will be speedy halfback

I am not in a position to comment
upon the plight of the black
student in his academic or athletic
endeavors but I must correct
some mistaken concepts concerning
his social opportunities.
There are four social fraternities
on'Villanova's campus which
do not discriminate against any
interested student because of his
color. I know several and perhaps
all of the fraternities have
had several black brothers in past
years. We all participate in an
open rush program to which all
students are welcome to come.
Few if any black students have
bothered to come to any of the
rush functions.
If we went out and recruited
one or two black students, we
would probably be accused of "token
integration'* and trying to
look liberal. Fraternities will
discriminate neither in favor or
against a black student. The black

Quarterbacking the Bulls will be
Denny Mason who, in the last three
games, has broken his own record
for pass completicms. In Buffalo's
opener against Iowa State, Mason
set a school record with 15 completions
and the following week
threw 17 against Massachusetts.
Then in a losing cause at Boston
College, his 19 completions es-
tablished another new high.
Offensively, the Bulls' weakest
point is their hands. Urich's backfield
has fumbled 15 times and
lost possession on six occasions.
All six bobbles have cost the Bulls
a potential score or have set up
the opposition. In 1967, the Bulls
fumbled 20 times in ten games.
students have just as much chance
as any white student of taking part
in the best social life available
at Villanova, all he has to do is
show a little interest. The opportunity
is there, I invite him to
accept it or reject it as he wishes,
but don't blame anyone but him-
self if he rejects it.

Defensively, the Bulls have one
of the t(^ Unebacking corps in the
reerion featuring All -East linebacker,
Mike Luzny, a junior from
South Bend, Indiana. Luzny was
not able to play In the first three
games because of a summer knee
operation. In his first start of the
season against Boston College,
Luzny was given the green light
in the fourth quarter and made five
unassisted tackles. He will be
calling the Bulls' defensive sig-
nals against Villanova.
The defensive secondary, a weak
spot in '67, is completely revamped.
Syracuse transfer, Nick
Kish, and sophomore Len Nixon,
appear to have won starting halfback
positions while Dick Horn
and quick Tom Elliot are battling
for the starting slot at safety.
bringing those people who are
interested in a similar field into
closer contact with each other
both on the academic and the social
levels and that organizations such
as ours are necessary for a proper
university atmosphere.
We further decry the shocking
lack of communication between
various segments of the university
which brought about the situation
in question and, besides asking
for the re-instatement of the activities
hour, we urge the adminis-
tration to continue its effort to
improve communication not only
between the administration and the
student body, but also between the
segments of the administration
itself.
We find it singularly significant
that no one in the administration
took note earlier than Monday,
September 9, 1968 of the possi-
bility of a problem in relation to
the cafeteria when such a problem
seemed eminently obvious to the
members of the student body. We
further interpret the short notice
given to the people affected by
the recent change as a lack not
only of courtesy but also of a
willingness to discuss the problem
with those involved.
In short, we desire that some
solution other than the one recently
put into effect be found which will
be compatible with the academic
goals of the university as well
as with the interests of our organizations
who share those goals,
and we offer our assistance in
finding such a solution,

To the Editor:
The VILLANOVAN should be
lauded for printing both sides of the
major issues of the day. On one
page you print a scathing editorial
denouncing George Wallace, and on
the next we see a large ad exhort-
ing us to join the Youth for Wallace.
You can air the views of what
appears to be a majority of the student
body with regard to reforms In
campus and academic life, while
also publishing articles condemning
change. (ie. "Femmes
Fatales")
Why can't the university follow
this policy when choosing speakers
to address the student body? Conservatives
will be in ecstasy when
William F. Buckley speaks this
Spring here at Villanova. Will this
be the definitive statement on the
subject? Should those of us who
stand somewhat to the left of Mr.
Buckley admit defeat? Why not invite
Gore Vidal, Gene McCarthy,
or George Mc Govern to speak
here? Going a little further, it
might not be a bad idea to invite
Black Panther Minister Eldrldge
Cleaver to lecture on law and
order. Mayor Daley might then
follow with his somewhat controversial
concepts of how to keep
the peace.
Irregardless of how contro-
versial the speaker or the subject.

shouldn't the mature student be

the only voice we'll hear this year

Could it be that this is the only

Past-failures
To the Editor:
Recently a group of students,
possibly representing SGA., in a
meeting with the Academic Vice
Pres., Fr, DriscoU, proposed,
among other things, a "pass-failure"
system for elective courses.
I am aware of the fact that such
considerations had been entertained
at previous administrative
level meetings. No changes from
the present norm could be estab-
lished.
I propose two ideas for your
consideraticm that appear palatable.
First, and as widely as
possible, during the first two years
of one's "general" non-elective,
non-major, curriculum, institute
a pass/fiiilure system. The student
either passes or must repeat
specific 100 level courses.
Examples of such pass/fBiilure
courses in the Arts area could
be History (Wes. Civ.)., English
(Grammar and Composition), Modem
Languages, Theology, Philosophy,
Sciences, etc. We all know
these courses to be non -elective,
non-major, generally required
courses. We all know that in
graduate studies beyond the bachelor
level, whether in the Arts,
Sciences or Business fields, admission
is gained by one's cumulative
average with the emphasis
placed upon the student's performance
in his major field. I doubt
if a "C" in History 133 will
keep the "A" student in Biol(^y
out of Medical school. Precisely;
because the reverse IS TRUE,
it would be necessary to retain,
a grading system on the elective
-major curriculum.
Second, Junior/ Senior upper
classmen should be permitted to
audit for credit a specific number
of credit hours. The student
would elect the course, pay for
it as an audit, get credit for it
as an audit in his course hour
cumulative total.

Mr. John Moritz, Villanova
Placement Director, made special
note of the fact that there has been
a larger enrollment of Seniors than
In previous years. This is excellent,
since there are more firms
recruiting on Villanova campus

This Could Be The Year
Ever since the Wally t^ones,
By JOE lACOVITTl J
Jim Washington era
at Villanova, Jack Kraft has been transforming .500
basketball teams into tournament teams. Give him
one solid offensive threat and a bunch of hustling
kids and Kraft will come up with a winner.
Three years ago a frail, little guy named Mel-
finals. For the past two years Johnny Jones has had
to bear the brunt of the scoring load. But these two
players are only part of the Kraft success formula.
Wildcat teams always play that tough defense, a defense
which demands alert, concentrated play.
In this age of run and shoot basketball, Kraft has
somehow made his players think defense. The use
of a deliberate, patterned offense has undoubtedly
forced the players to think along these lines. They
realize that most Villanova games are decided by less
than ten points, and you have to put out at both ends
of the court to win.
But Pm sure the coach is wondering how Howard
Porter and the other newcomers will respond to his
style of play. If they can adapt themselves quickly
and overcome those Sophomore jitters, this could be
Kraft's greatest team.
With Howard Porter and Johnny Jones bombing
from either corner, the Cats will score more points
this year. Add to this the rebounding strength of
Sam Sims, the playmaking of Frank Gillen and the
defensive brilliance of Bob Melchionni and the Cats
appear unstoppable.
But of the five players I mentioned, only Porter,
Jones and Gillen appear assured of a job. The
Wildcats will have tremendous depth and versatility
this year. With only Joe Crews graduating the Cats
will have nine returning veterans battling five legitimate
Sophomore prospects for berths on the team.
Take a guy like Clarence Smith who is equipped
to play both guard and forward. He appears to be a
better offensive threat than Melchionni or Sims, but
must learn how to play Kraft's defense. If Smith
or Hal Watson play forward, Porteir will move into
the pivot.
Against teams like St. Bonaventure and U,C.L,A,
the Cats may go with 6* 7" Jim Mcintosh in the
middle. A frontcourt of Mcintosh, Porter and Jones
should be able to neutralize people like Lanier and
Alcindor.
If the Cats inside game is somehow stymied,
Kraft will probably call on Soph Tom Fox or Junior
Fran O'Hanlon. Both of these players are streaky
type shooters, who can light a fire under a sagging
offense.
It seems coach Kraft has personnel for every conceivable
situation. The fact that I haven't even mentioned
names like Frank McCall, George May, Leon
Wojnowski and Joe Walters bear this feet out.
At this point about the only thing wrong with
the basketball picture at Villanova is that the experts
claim we're the fourth best team in the nation.
Considering how reliable these pre- season polls
generally are, Fd much rather see us unranked.
But it says here that this is one time when the
polls will almost be right. This Cat team can play
with anybody in the country, including that famed
aggregation on the West Coast,
Rugby Wins 24-0
The Villanova Rugby team made
it three in a row with a convincing
win over Temple Medical
School as six men contributed to
the 24-0 score. The game played
last Saturday at Villanova.

after three minutes. Temple could
not mount a scoring threat as Villanova
kept on the offensive. Cap-
tain Jerry Donovan, a 9.9 sprinter,
took a pass at the 45, cut to the
sideline, then back to the middle
and went in untouched. Cassidy
made the kick and the score stood
10-0. With the first half almost
over, 6', 200 lb. left wing Terry
Betten scored from in close for
his first tally since coming back
from the injured ranks. The kick
was missed and V.U. led at halftime
13-0. Villanova had been
forced to play with only 14 men for
much of the first half as fiyhalf
Steve Daunis was injured and
had to leave the game.
Forwards Dominate
The second half began with Cassidy
having moved from his wingforward
position to fly-half to fill
in for Daunis.
This half saw scores by the
forwards only as Brian MacMamara,
playing very well at hooker,
scored the first try of his career,
and Don Guerrierri and Jack Cassidy
each scored once. Guerrierri
knocked the last man over at the
goal line in John Sodaski fashion,
Cassidy made one of three kicks
and Villanova had its final 24-0
victory margin.
The B-team lost to Old Blue

will be lost for an undisclosed
period of time because of a
shoulder injury.

individual tackles and assisted on
two more while achieving a hi^

Rich played oi^)oslte Bill Bouley,
a highly rated offensive tackle,
and in the opinion of several pro
scouts, handled him very well.
The thing that pleased Coach Gregory
and his staff the most, however,
was the great improvement
Rich has shown since the first game
against Toledo. He has received
some unduly harsh criticism from
many people who seem to expect
miracles from him every week.
Any of this criticism which mig^t

To the Editor:
As members of the undergraduate
body at Villanova, we would
like to express a complaint which
we feel should be of interest and
concern to all those associated
with the University.
Just last week, we were informed
by the Financial Aid Office that the
University has exhausted the flnan-
cail assistance funds for the first
six months of 1969. We were informed
that this was due to the
fact that the University had enrolled
an extremely large freshfhen
class and that there had been
a drainage of funds to the building
drive.
What this all adds up to is that

This week's choice as offen-
sive player of the week goes to
Frank Boal, senior halfback and
CO -captain of the Wildcats. Frank
has not seen as much action this
year as in the past but Saturday
he showed that breakaway speed
for which he is noted. The 5'9"
speedster took the ball on his
own 28 and angled towards the
open side of the field. When he
had the whole B.C. kickolf team
going that way he quickly reversed
field and scampered down the sidelines
untouched for the score.
Earlier in the same period Frank
had nearly broken loose on a kick-
off return. He moved the ball
from his own 14 to the B.C. 36
before the last man l)etween him
and the paydirt brought him down.
It was this electrifying run that
lit the fire under the Cats'
