The floor is then opened for discussion of the candidatesby all committee members. Once the candidates have been presented forconsideration, the floor is closed and no other candidates will be consideredfor that year.The Selection Committee then proceeds through a series of confidential,handwritten votes under the direction of the Chair. The Chair requeststhat the committee members vote for their top candidates in each round ofvoting. The objective of each round is to narrow the field of candidates in afair and equitable manner. Candidates that poll the highest in a given roundremain in consideration, while candidates that receive few or no votes in agiven round are subject to elimination from consideration. Discussion andadditional review of each candidate’s qualifications may be entertained aftereach round. The goal is to select the eight (8) most qualified candidates forinduction to the Hall of Fame each year.The Hall of Fame Club was established in 1990.

2008 INDUCTEEBOB BP -- File name: B72040_BC_32pg_Txt.pdf Made on Sep 16, 2008 at 7:02:58 PM, Page 5 of 36 pages. Trim is 8.5 x 11.0 --STEVE LANGONE ‘00BaseballMo Maloney, who coached Steve Langone as afreshman and sophomore at Boston College,states flatly, “Steve is the greatest all-aroundplayer in the modern era of Boston Collegebaseball.”As a superb pitcher who was also such agood hitter that his team couldn’t afford tohave him out of the lineup, Steve Langone is aworthy heir to another baseball tradition inBoston. You’ve heard of the fellow who establishedthat tradition – a guy by the name ofGeorge Herman Ruth.“A lot of players can do both - pitch andhit,” Maloney went on. “But the thing aboutSteve is that he excelled at both.”Nice compliment indeed. But imagine ifLangone had gotten to wield his bat more thanfour times in his freshman season of 1997?How much better would his BC career totalsbe? He is seventh all time in hits (191) andruns batted in (117) as well as third in runsscored (151) and second in home runs (30).Steve’s pitching record is even moreimpressive. He made 39 starts in college andcompleted 22 games. He is first all-time inwins with 24; third in strikeouts with 230;and he holds the lowest earned run average fora single season with 1.54. That mark, set inhis senior season of 2000, led the nation.Maloney had recruited Steve out ofReading High, where he went 29-3 in fouryears. He was already an accomplished collegepitcher when his rookie year at the Heightswas drawing to a close. He had started ninegames, compiling a respectable 4-4 record. Butuntil Maloney inserted him into the lineup latein a game against Northeastern, Steve had onlybeen to the batter’s box three times.Langone’s career trajectory changed thatday with one swing of the bat. “I got a fastballand hit a bomb. I absolutely crushed it,” hebeams. “That opened the eyes of the coaches.And I give Mo Maloney a lot of credit, becausehe gave me the opportunity to combine my hittingand my pitching. I had a good fall seasonwhen I was a sophomore, and I was able tobreak into the lineup.”Steve’s one home run in high school was aground ball between the outfielders that rolledfar enough for him to leg it all the way aroundthe bases. He had never hit for power, and asa pitcher he was neither fast nor intimidating.But as Reading coach Pete Moscariello puts it,“Steve taught us as much as we taughthim. He really knew how to pitch. He threwhard for a high school kid and was a great controlpitcher. He was very intelligent and a greatstudent of the game. He worked very hard, andby that I mean he truly cared about what hewas doing. Even in the off season he’d be hittingand taking ground balls…at practice andon his own he’d do things like making sure hehad the right spin on his curve ball to get itinto the proper location.”Steve and cousins Mark Langone and EricPrevite were, it seemed, always together onthe ballfields of their youth. Their ten-manAAU team, the Reading Red Sox, finished thirdout of 35 squads at a national tournament inCocoa Beach, Florida when they were 16.When they weren’t playing or practicing withtheir team, they’d hit the local park for battingand fielding practice.It paid off handsomely. All three played ballin college – Eric at Merrimack and Mark atStonehill – and Steve got to know all about hisstrengths, limitations, and potential as a player.Had a series on injuries not befallen himafter college, he would have had a legitimateshot at major league baseball.From sophomore year on at BC, Steveplayed in every game. When he wasn’t pitchinghe was usually the designated hitter,though he played first and third base as well.5As a sophomore, he batted .401, hit ninehomers, and had a 4-5 pitching record. Injunior year he batted .332 and had 13 homeruns, and in senior year his average was .338.He finished up with a .356 batting overageover four years.Steve had always worked diligently on hispitching repertoire. Starting back in highschool, he developed a befuddling array ofmotions that confounded enemy hitters. Hehad always hated to bat against sidearm pitchers,so he came up with a full sidearm deliveryand a three-quarter angle throw as well as astraight overhand.“Batters would sometimes tell me afterthe game that they thought I had 12 differentpitches. I only had four, but it might havelooked like more because I threw from threedifferent angles,” he explained.Steve fashioned himself after GregMaddux, who relied on pinpoint control andability to outwit hitters rather than on rawspeed and power. “I tried to get ahead of battersand make them expand their strike zones.I’d vary my arm angles and throw a lot ofcurveballs and changeups. If I fell behind inthe count, then they weren’t going to chaseany pitches,” he continued.After leading the nation in ERA and earningsecond-team All-America honors, Stevewas drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers andsent to Yakima, Washington. The followingyear he played at the A level in Vero Beach,then moved up to Jacksonville in AA.He missed half of the 2002 season with ashoulder injury, but bounced back and madethe AA all-stars. In 2003 he rose to AAA withthe Dodger organization, but elbow problemscropped up and he required Tommy Johnsurgery. The lengthy rehab made him miss allof 2004.The Red Sox picked him up that winterand sent him to Wilmington, Delaware.Released again, he caught on with the Phillies’AA team in Reading, Pennsylvania. Anothershoulder injury finally ended Steve’s professionalcareer. Over six seasons as a pro, hewas an impressive and promising pitcherwhen healthy. He pitched in 108 games,struck out 295 batters while walking 54, andhad an ERA of 2.69.Since his retirement, Steve scouts andrecruits for an agents’ group, tutors individualplayers, and is a second baseman forWakefield of the Inter-City League.

Fourteen years in themaking, the chapel in the Abbey’s youth centerhonors the parents of Brother Joseph Iarrobino,a peerless golfer and one of the most courageousathletes ever to wear the Maroon andGold.Edmund V. Iarrobino ’53 took BrotherJoseph for his religious name when he joinedthe Order of Saint Benedict 30 years ago. Hehas lived at the Abbey in the foothills of the SanGabriel Mountains since that time. His primaryduty for more than a decade has been raisingmoney for the chapel.“Perseverance and prayer. That’s why thechapel is almost ready. It’s a lot like golf. You’vegot to have perseverance if you’re going to succeed,”said Brother Joseph, who has knownand experienced both the rewards of perseveranceand the power of prayer.The Iarrobino family lived near the BostonCollege campus on Suffolk Road, where Eddie’sfather worked as a chauffeur. Eddie caught thegolf bug when he was only five years old. Hewould chip the ball around the back yard andputt it into buried tin cans for up to six hoursat a time. He’d also sneak over to the BC footballfield on the Dust Bowl and practice untilFather Maurice Dullea, the faculty moderator ofathletics, showed up to shoo him away.As soon as he was old enough, Eddiebecame a caddy. At age 14 he won his firstcompetitive tournament, the New EnglandOpen Championship at Albemarle CountryClub in Newton.In August 1948, he and future Eagle Hall ofFamer Fordie Pitts battled to a draw in the statecaddy championship, each shooting 152 for 36holes. Pitts, who weighed 109 pounds toIarrobino’s 110, prevailed by a stroke in an 18-hole playoff. In his story about the match, theBoston Globe’s Ernie Roberts dubbed the wispyIarrobino “The Thin Man,” after the 1934detective movie starring William Powell andMyrna Loy.A few weeks later, Eddie tried to help hisfather start the family’s 1938 Plymouth. Hewas pouring gas into the carburetor when anengine spark ignited the fuel, causing an explosionthat engulfed the lad in a sheet of flame.He was bedridden for three months andendured four skin grafts for third-degree burns.Doctors at Newton Wellesley Hospital toldIarrobino that he would never play golf again.But four months after that grim diagnosis, inJanuary 1949, he strode onto theCommonwealth Golf Club course and beganhis comeback, gamely swinging driver andirons despite the thick scar tissue that coveredhis right arm and side.He graduated BC High with his class andstill managed to captain the golf team thatspring. A final surgical procedure, in the shapeof the letter “Z,” excised more scar tissue andrestored sufficient range of motion for him toagain drive the ball sharply off the tee. Thedetermined Iarrobino was set to launch hisBoston College career.That was the golden age of BC golf. Five ofthe seven linksmen enshrined in the Hall Fameprior to Iarrobino played between 1950 and1956. Eddie arrived at the school with his reputationfor consistency and deadly accuracyalready established. Hall of Famers Harry Ernst,Dick Kinchla, and Bob Crowley had just graduated,but Iarrobino and classmate Leo Gracemoved in and kept the Eagles at the top of collegiatecompetition under coach John “Snooks”Kelley.The team was undefeated in regular seasonplay during Eddie’s three varsity years from1951 through 1953, and they won the NewEngland Intercollegiate Team Championship in1952. Iarrobino compiled a sparkling record of16-2. In every match except one, he played in11the number one slot against the opposition’sbest player. One of his losses was by the scoreof 3 and 2 to Holy Cross immortal Paul Harney,who went on to win seven PGA Tour events.As Kinchla puts it, the diminutiveIarrobino “could thread a needle” from anywhereon the course. “He was very accurateand straight as an arrow off the tee,” said Dick.Crowley adds “Eddie didn’t have a lot ofrange. But he was a very steady player and hada great reputation, both locally and while hewas at BC.”“The secret of golf for me was really in theshort game. I was at my best when putting,”said Iarrobino. He credits Ernst with helping todevelop his grip and swing; Harry helped himmoved from a baseball-style grip to the interlockingmethod and eventually to an overlappinggrip.Though Eddie seldom drove the ball a greatdistance, he usually made it to the green intwo strokes. He’s especially proud of the threeholes-in-one he has shot during his career – atNatick and Nashawtuc in Massachusetts and atBraemar Country Club near Los Angeles.Eddie majored in economics and minoredin accounting. He had always aspired to religiouslife, and after graduation he entered theCarmelite order. But the meatless diet did notagree with him, and he had to return homeafter six months.Drafted into the Army, Iarrobino trained asa postal clerk and shipped off for a tour of dutyin Korea in 1954. He won the Eighth ArmyForward golf tournament on the Seoul CountryClub course, where bomb craters and combatscars still pocked the fairways.After his discharge in 1956, Eddie workedfor General Electric, Carling Brewing, andAmerican Tobacco. He also stuck with golf,winning club championships at Natick in 1960and Wampatuck in 1965.But Eddie still felt the call to religious life.Feeling that his time as a Carmelite had notfully tested his vocation, he joined the order ofSaint John of God at age 37. Eight years later,seeking a more contemplative way, he becamea Benedictine and took his religious name inhonor of Saint Joseph the Worker.Up until a few years ago, in his fund raisingfor the order, he frequently had the opportunityto play golf with friends and benefactors.“You can learn a lot about people by playing18 holes with them,” he says.

Or, rather, squealing with delightand pointing to the television set as Romaniangymnast Nadia Comaneci enthralled fans withher athletic artistry on bars, beam, and floor.Andrea Melton wanted to be Nadia. Susieenrolled her in gymnastics classes at the age offour. She bought Comaneci posters for the bedroom.Thus began an athletic career thatbrought accolades, championships, and hall offame honors – in the sport of track and field.Up through freshman year Columbia HighSchool in Maplewood, New Jersey, Andrea’ssport was gymnastics. She also had a passionfor dancing, and like gymnastics it preparedher both physically and mentally for thedemanding and deceptively complex hurdleevents in track and field.Columbia track coach Lenard Klepack sawAndrea in a gymnastics event one day. He setabout recruiting her, stopping by her lockerfrequently and even visiting her home to pitchMrs. Melton on letting Andrea prove that gymnastsmake good hurdlers.“She had quick legs and was very fast, andshe had a tremendous ‘pop off’” said Klepack.“She won the Group Four state championshipin the long jump when she was a sophomore.And she was very serious and disciplined, inaddition to being a good student.”It takes a while to master hurdling, whichdemands a combination of rhythm, balance,and speed. Experienced gymnasts already havethe rhythm and the balance. Melton explainshow she worked to improve her speed by honingher “quick feet pattern.”“You take three steps between hurdles.The issue is, how fast are each of those threesteps. You’ve got to train your body to be onthe ground as little as possible.”In other words, the more a hurdler is inthe air, the faster are her times. That is wherethe gymnastics training pays off, according toKlepack.“It means hanging in the air, and having nofear of staying there. Andrea didn’t have thatfear of being in the air that most kids had,” hesaid.Andrea stayed with gymnastics in additionto running track and putting in two periods aday in the special dance program. She oftendidn’t get a chance to begin homework before8:30 in the evening, but she never seemed tocontend with physical or mental fatigue. As faras she was concerned, each activity reinforcedthe others; all three demanded balancing andcentering oneself.She set school records in high hurdles,long jump, and the shuttle hurdle relay. Shewas team captain, an all-state selection, andthe Eastern indoor champ in both 100 meterhurdles and the long jump. Then the recruitingletters began to arrive.Andrea had scholarship offers from FloridaState and LSU, but Klepack counseled thatBoston College and its academics were thebest fit. Additionally, the Meltons had movedto Jersey from Dorchester when Andrea wasthree, and many extended family memberswere still in and around Boston.Melton kept maturing physically andreached her peak as a BC junior when she setfour school records – the indoor and outdoorlong jump, the indoor 55 meter hurdles andthe outdoor 100 meter hurdles. She also ran aleg of the school’s best 400 meter outdoorrelay and indoor distance medley relay.Tiffany Young, BC Hall of Fame memberwho was two years ahead of Melton, took thebaton from Melton and ran anchor on that400-meter relay unit. She believes thatAndrea’s junior and senior campaigns, in particular,show just how formidable and dedicateda competitor that Melton was.“The squad wasn’t deep in sprinters forher final two years. A number of us had graduated.If you’re going to be the best you canbe, then you need the people to train against.So all that time Andrea spent at practice in132008 INDUCTEEthose years really points to her character, andshows how much drive and desire she had.”Melton’s sprint coach Walter Curry recallsthat the turning point in Andrea’s career wasa hurdle event at the ECACs late in sophomoreyear. “She came close to or broke theschool record that day, and that seemed toconvince her that she had the ability to dovery well. She was always an outstandingcompetitor, very focused and determined,” hesaid.Melton also gave Curry and head coachRandy Thomas a case of heartburn when sheput in a football season on the cheerleadingsquad as a junior. Curry said, “She was a flyer– she’s on the small side and they were alwaystossing her in the air. The cheerleaders workhard and do some dangerous things. We wereconcerned that she was going to get hurt.”During the summers she worked on “gymcraftics”with Jeff Robins of Air TimeAthletics, an affiliate of USA Track and Field.Gymcraftics emphasizes balance, strength,and continuation of motion. It is ideal trainingfor performers both in track and field and inchoreographed entertainment as in Cirque duSoleil. Its trampoline practices also help trackathletes explode off the starting blocks.Robins said, “Andrea did a lot of workwith us to reduce her time between hurdles.She was a very creative dancer also. She’s versatile,was always encouraging others and hadan incredibly positive philosophy of life.”Andrea earned All-America honors in the100 Meter High Hurdles in 1995 and wasnamed Eagle of the Year in 1996. She took ashot at the 1996 Olympic team in the 100meter high hurdles and missed qualifying forthe trials by a tenth of a second.After graduation Andrea coached track atNewton South High for two years, thenreturned to Boston College to coach jumpersand pole vaulters while she earned a master’sdegree in marketing and launched a career inthe business of retail apparel.In 2001 Andrea moved to the New Yorkarea and continued up the corporate ladder.Since 2003 she has been a general managerwith Banana Republic stores in New Jersey.Earlier this year she became a certified imageconsultant and stylist.“I love the work. Every day you’ve got asmile on your face and you meet new people.It’s like being a makeup artist, but withclothes,” she says.

2008 INDUCTEEBILL TOOF ‘69SkiingBOB BP -- File name: B72040_BC_32pg_Txt.pdf Made on Sep 16, 2008 at 7:02:58 PM, Page 15 of 36 pages. Trim is 8.5 x 11.0 --It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Bill Tooflearned to ski almost before he learned to walk.His father Hermon – whose nickname was Bill– brought his son to the slopes in Vermontwhen the lad was just one year old.What is somewhat surprising, however, isthat the 5-7, 170 pound Toof, who holds theBoston College record for most ski racing winsin a career, was also a both a college-caliber footballplayer and baseball star. He was a defensiveback under Jim Miller for two seasons, and heplayed second base for Eddie Pellagrini’s diamondcontingent.But like his father, who also starred in a differentsport when growing up, Bill was destinedfor a life in skiing, both as a performer and as aleader and mentor to others.He may also be the only Boston College student-athletewho was also coach of a varsitysport; Bill was still a member of the baseballteam after being appointed ski coach.Bill’s father was an excellent hockey player,tending goal for Brown University in his nativeRhode Island back in the 1930s. College sportsback then were not quite as intensive or timeconsumingas they are now, so the elder Toofhad plenty of time to take up skiing at the family’splace in West Dover, Vermont near MountSnow. He fell in love with the sport and eventuallybecame a member of the National SkiPatrol.The Toof family moved from Rhode Island toVermont when Bill was 12 years old. They sentthe lad to Cranwell Prep, the Jesuit school inLenox, Massachusetts. Bill was a quarterbackand receiver during the fall and an infielder inthe spring, but in the winter he took to theBerkshires every chance he got.Cranwell’s club skiers did not enjoy officialteam status, so Toof sold them on the idea ofmaking it a varsity sport. When he got to BostonCollege, Bill saw that the ski club had a lengthyhistory but that there was no varsity teameither. He approached athletic director BillFlynn and successfully pitched him, using thesame arguments that Flynn had employed severalyears earlier when he established football atCranwell.It didn’t take Toof long to start winningraces in the Eastern Collegiate Ski Conference.He astonished himself by finishing first by1/100th of a second - in a meet at MiddleburyCollege his first time out. He narrowly bestedthe heavy favorite, Colin Garstang of UMass, asenior who had dominated competition out inNancy, Bill, Bo, and Shaun at Waterville Valleythe Berkshires during Toof’s secondary schooldays.That maiden voyage was a harbinger ofthings to come. Bill placed second in the ECSCchampionships as a freshman, then won theconference title in his sophomore and junioryears. Also in his rookie year of 1966, he finishedsecond in the slalom at the NorthAmerican Alpine Championships. Bill was amember of the ECSC all-conference squad forfour years and was all-first team as a senior.In addition to most races won with 14, Bill’scareer records at Boston College include themost points scored in a regular season, when heposted 249 of a possible 250 in 1968; and mostpoints scored in a career with 810. The winnerof a college race earns 25 points. In most meetsamong New England schools, six racers fromeach team compete; the top four times count inthe team’s scoring.Bill takes much more pride in helpingyounger people reach their potential as skiersthan he ever felt about his own accomplishments.When his four years of skiing weredone, he immediately became the Eagles’ varsityski coach. He also taught math at Medfield,Massachusetts High School for seven yearsbefore returning to Boston College full time in1978. In the 29 years from 1970 to 1999,Boston College skiers won 16 ECSC15Conference Championships. Bill coached over40 All–Americans and three national titlists.Bill’s men’s team made 20 straight appearancesat the National Championship meet, aU.S. Collegiate Skiing Association record. Theyfinished in the top ten every time and took secondplace once and third place twice. Thewomen’s team also holds a USCSA record with18 straight appearances. They were twice thenational runner-up and finished third fourtimes.Bill’s son Shaun lettered as a football receiverand graduated in 2002. Shaun and his brotherBo, class of 2004, assisted their parents atEagle ski meets as youngsters. They would ridethe chairlifts up with the competitors and skiback down carrying the athlete’s parkas andwarm gear. Both were also ball boys for Eaglefootball teams before they enrolled as students.Bill and his wife Nancy (Walker) were marriedon skis the day after Valentine’s Day 1979on Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton, Maine. Ontheir 25th anniversary, they renewed vows onskis up at Steve Plausteiner’s Mount AscutneyResort in Vermont, where Bill still helps out hisformer All-American with Ascutney’s youth racingprogram.Nancy had been on skis just twice when shemoved from New Jersey to Vermont in the early70s to get a job, learn the sport, and carry on afamily tradition. Her uncle Richard had been inthe 10th Mountain Division in World War II.She was introduced to Bill by his sister Andreawhen Bill was competing in an event sponsoredby Benson and Hedges Tobacco at Mount Snow.Nancy eventually became the first women’steam coach at the Heights when a separatesquad was established in 1978. Before that, theEagle women competed with the men.“As far as Bill was concerned, if you wantedto ski and you had the work ethic, there was aplace for you,” said Nancy.Coach Bill made good use of his eight-millimetermotion picture camera, instructing hischarges in form and style as they sought the perfectbalance between breakneck downhill speedand control through turns and gates. That pioneeringexperience with camera equipmentpaved the way for Bill’s present duties as headvideo analyst with the Eagle football team. Billand his staff of six assistants put in long days,taping every play of every game and practicefrom several perspectives, then packaging andsequencing the tapes for review and analysis bythe coaching staff.

Trim is 8.5 x 11.0 --CHARLIE SMITH ‘66Football“The perfect college experience.”That’s how Charlie Smith describes hisfootball days. Captain of the 1965 team andmainstay of three Boston College squads thatposted a combined record of 18-10, Charlieplayed in an era when the game rules wereevolving back to two-platoon football.“During the time I was at BC we wentfrom almost no substitution to free substitution.In my sophomore year everybody playedboth ways. By the time I was a senior, itbecame the way it is now. It was fun for us asplayers – you’d have Larry Marzetti, our quarterback,throwing one of the biggest touchdownpasses in BC history, then for the nexttwo years he was one of our best defensivebacks,” said Charlie.“I don’t know which way is better. It’sprobably more fun for the fans now, when youhave the players best suited to play a singleposition. But I got to play through all threephases of the transition.”That pass from Marzetti to Bill Cronin wasthe original Hail Mary, every bit as big and dramaticas Doug Flutie’s heave against Miami 20seasons later. The final play of the 1964 seasonopener, it gave the Eagles a 21-14 victory overSyracuse, which did not lose again until theOrange Bowl.Unfortunately, BC dropped its next twogames to powerful opponents, 19-13 at Armyand 16-14 at Tennessee. Blatant Southern officiatingbias defeated the Eagles in Knoxville, agame in which they held Tennessee to 110yards of offense. As Smith relates it, the refereesallowed the winning touchdown eventhough a clipping penalty had occurred. Theyclaimed that the ball carrier had alreadycrossed the goal line; films later showed thathe was still ten yards from the end zone.The final record in 1964 was 6-3, the sameas it was in Smith’s sophomore campaign of1963. Another win in either year would haveput the Eagles into serious consideration forone of the eight post-season games of thatblack-and-white television era. But it was notto be, and perhaps that makes it easy to overlookjust how good those Eagle teams of thesixties were.Charlie Smith personified everything in astudent athlete. Standing just over six feet tall,he played both offensive and defensive end. Asa sophomore he went both ways but “loved tochase quarterbacks” from his defensive position.In junior year he also played both sidesof the ball but more frequently as a defender.Then as a senior and captain, he led the teamin pass receiving with 18 catches. He got twofree-agent shots with the Boston Patriots andsurvived until the final roster cut.But figures and statistics never tell the realstory. As his high school team mate DickCremin states, you have to look back atCharlie’s early youth to understand the fullmeasure of his accomplishments.The second oldest of eight kids growing upin Owings Mills, Maryland, Charlie was nineyears of age when his father passed away. Hismother Ann somehow kept her husband’swholesale paper business running until theyounger kids were in school, then returned toher former employer, the Social SecurityAdministration. Money was always scarce, butthere was abundance, both of family solidarityin support of the remarkable Mrs. Smith and oflove for Catholic education.Charlie attended the Little Flower grammarschool in nearby Woodstock. Three nunsstaffed the school and taught its eight grades.Along the way he met several of the Jesuitfathers from the theological center in thetown, and that sold Charlie on going to LoyolaHigh in Towson, some 15 miles distant.Charlie’s athletic career quickly blossomedat Loyola. He was twice an all-state pick infootball. The 750-student school won a pair ofstate titles under coach Tracy Mehr, who leftLoyola to join Jim Miller’s staff at BC afterSmith’s senior season.19The prospect of playing for his highschool coach at the college level helped sellCharlie on The Heights, although Cremin’senthusiastic recruiting was also a factor.“We had to have Charlie at BC. I knowhe was a class person and would be a greatasset,” said Cremin, who was a year aheadof Smith. “He didn’t have great speed, butthere was no stopping him on the line ofscrimmage. He could get free at any timeand run any pass pattern. He excelled atdefensive end, but I think his greatest assetwas his blocking. He was a true all-aroundfootball player at BC, and there weren’t toomany of them anywhere.”Classmate Dick Capp, who played ontwo Green Bay Packer Super Bowl teams forVince Lombardi, most remembers Smith’sleadership both on and off the field.“With Charlie, it was all work ethic. Hereminded me of Ray Nitschke on Green Bay,who had a lot of enthusiasm and would leadboth by example and by getting in your face.Charlie was a talker – he called himself‘Brassius Brad, the Mouth of the South’ –but I don’t remember him ever yelling atanyone. He was always very positive, andeverybody respected him and bought rightinto it.”Capp also remembers Charlie as a sharpdresser who wore Bostonian wingtip shoeson his summer construction job. That’strue, Charlie says, but a Banlon shirt andwingtips were the clothes he wore everyday, so why go out and spend good money onwork duds just because you’re going to beoperating a jackhammer?After graduation and his shot at pro football,Charlie picked up an MBA at LoyolaUniversity and went into the investmentbusiness. He started off as a retail broker butfound his niche as a fund manager with T.Rowe Price in Baltimore. He is now retiredafter an eminently successful 26-year careerwith Price. Charlie and his wife Bitsy, theformer Elizabeth Kelly ’67, have establisheda family foundation that supports BC athleticsin memory of their granddaughterCarolyn Lombardi.Charlie was the only Eagle in his immediatefamily, but he and Bitsy have sent allfour of their children to the Heights: daughtersJacqueline (Lombardi) ’91; Marybeth(O’Malley) ’92; Kathleen (Spalla) ’93; andson Charlie ’97, a three-year football lettermanat defensive back.

Trim is 8.5 x 11.0 --It’s a good thing that Leo Sybertz, who coachedfootball at West Roxbury High in Boston for 32years, is a persistent sort. He’s the man who spiedRon Stone in the school corridors and relentlesslybadgered the lad into becoming a football player.“I think he came out just to get me off his back.I used to bug him all the time. He finally did jointhe team when he was a junior, and some of thekids laughed about it – they thought he’d neverlast,” said Sybertz.The sight of any young man who stands 6-4and weighs north of 250 pounds will make a highschool football coach salivate. Give the kid a helmetand shoulder pads, put him in the line, and he’ll doreasonably well. But even though Stoney had neverplayed organized football, he had an eerie knack forthe intricacies of offensive line play.“He has the personality of an offensive lineman.He’s a technician. I never saw Ron Stone losea confrontation with a defensive player. Not once,”said Sybertz.The Miami Dolphins’ Mike Maser, whocoached Stone at Boston College, recalls that sameuncanny aptitude in Ron.“The great thing about Ronny was his ability tovisualize and conceptualize things very quickly. Iwas amazed that at his ability to understand everythingthat that we were talking about because hehadn’t played that much football at all,” said Mike.Ron grew up in the Franklin Hill Projects inDorchester. He played a lot of pickup basketball onthe local streets and playgrounds. But that was theextent of his sporting participation until he yieldedto Coach Sybertz’s entreaties.He was a starter on the offensive line by thethird game, then played both ways as a senior. Histeams never tasted defeat, racking up 11-0 seasonsand winning a pair of divisional Super Bowls. At theend of Ron’s high school football days, Sybertz hada heart-to-heart talk with his young protégé.“I told him that four years from now, if heworked at it, he could be buying his mother a nicehouse someplace,” said the coach.Boston College, looking to rebuild after a coupleof losing seasons, was interested and willing tobring Stone aboard as a Proposition 48 recruit. Histest scores and GPA were a few points below thecutoff mandated by Prop 48, so he was not eligiblefor varsity play as a freshman.Jack Bicknell and his staff installed Stone on thedefensive line for the 1990 season. He was animmediate hit, totaling nine tackles in early gamesagainst Ohio State and Pittsburgh. A broken fingersidelined him for three games, but Ron seemed tobe on his way to a successful college career as adefensive lineman.The Eagles went 4-7 that year and the nextunder Tom Coughlin, who had succeeded Bicknellas head coach. Stoney made 49 tackles and blockeda pair of kicks in his junior season. Then a bunchThe Stones of San Joseof offensive linemen graduated, and Coughlin andMaser tapped Ron to make the switch to the morecomplicated position of offensive tackle.“It was a sad day for the defense when theytook Ron,” cracked linebacker Steve Boyd, a Hall ofFamer who was two years behind Stone in school.“Ron was a very gifted athlete who had outstandingfeet,” said Coughlin recently. “We felt hisbest position was offensive tackle, and when wetalked to him about playing there, I told him that itwould be his best pro position.”The Eagles rebounded onto the nationalscene, running up a 7-0-1 record before the debacleat Notre Dame. They finished 8-3-1 and playedon New Year’s Day against Tennessee.“The worst memory of my career was goinginto Notre Dame and getting beat like that. I don’tknow what happened to us. But the best part wasfinally getting back to a bowl game that year. Weturned things around for BC football,” Ron saidStone agrees that playing on the offensive lineis as cerebral as it is physical, but he never foundthe game difficult to master at any level.“All you’ve got to do is know the plays. Thereare a lot of things you’ve got to remember, butonce you know your playbook, then you don’thave to think about technique out there. You justdo what the coaches tell you.”Stone was drafted in the fourth round by theDallas Cowboys. He enjoyed an ideal professionalapprenticeship under line coach Hudson Houck.The Cowboys were loaded with Pro Bowl-caliberoffensive linemen. Ron backed up every positionon the line except center.23After three years, Ron signed a restricted freeagent deal with the New York Giants, where hispostgraduate football education paid off handsomely.From 1995 to 2001 as a Giant regular, hemade the Pro Bowl twice at offensive guard. Hethen moved to the 49ers for two seasons, earninga third Pro Bowl slot, and for two more with theRaiders.In 13 years in professional football, Ron Stoneplayed in 173 games, including two Super Bowls,and started 142 of them. Not bad for a kid whodidn’t even don shoulder pads until he was ajunior in high school, and who played only oneyear on the offensive line in college. Yes, LeoSybertz knew what he was doing those manyyears ago, incessantly pestering the big kid fromDorchester to come out and play high school football.Since his retirement at age 34, Stone has keptbusy in football and with his flourishing partnershipwith Wingstop Restaurants. He owns fourfranchises in California and will soon be a businesspartner for the company in the Boston area.Ron and his wife Roxanne, who grew up inHolbrook, Massachusetts, now live in San Jose,California with their five children – Dé Ja, age 19;Ronnie, 14; Ronna, 11; Ronika, 10, and R.J., 8. Hecoaches both flag football for young kids and highschool ball at Valley Christian High in San Jose.“I’m just trying to give back now. It’s a blast,”he says. “A lot of people looked out for me. NowI’m talking to kids, trying to tell them what it willtake to get to the next step.”

Then again, firstimpressions are usually the ones that meanthe most and last the longest.Sarah Powell just looked like a defender.She had never played that soccer position. Butto the newly arrived Boston College coachAlison (Foley) Kulik, who’d never seen Sarahplay, the freshman was a natural – the way shemoved across the practice field, the way shechanged direction, the way she booted long,accurate passes with her left foot.“I remember that first practice session onShea Field. She passed well. She defendedwell. Sarah is so unassuming. She didn’t evenknow she could play Division One soccer,”said Kulik, who’d just taken over the headcoaching position at the Heights.Mike LaVigne, now director of socceroperations, knew Sarah from her club soccerand high school days in Natick,Massachusetts. “He phoned me and said ‘Thekid’s walking on, but she’s pretty good,’” saidKulik.Powell was willing to make the switch tothe backfield. She quickly realized that justmaybe she could do quite well at it.“I felt very comfortable in the position. Ienjoyed the responsibility and I like playingcenter back, having everyone out there infront of me,” she said“I was always just good enough to play formy teams when I was growing up, and I neverthought I’d be playing in college. I was theone whose father was always the coach,” saysBell. “It wasn’t until I made the transition tocollegiate soccer that I felt I could be a reallygood player.”Sarah’s father Peter had played the gameat Moravian College in Pennsylvania. Hecoached or helped out with Sarah’s youthteams in Natick, where she started playing atage five. He saw her potential for stardomeven then, stating that her lateral movementand quickness were usually well above thoseof her peers.Sarah also took up gymnastics at a youngage, and was good enough to make a nationaljunior elite squad when she was eight. But itwas the team play of soccer and eventually thechallenges of warding off attackers that wonout over the solitary discipline of gymnastics.She quit gymnastics as a ninth grader, returningonly for a final season when Natick Highlaunched a gymnastics program. .Sarah was twice all-state and all-NewEngland at Natick, and was Player of the Yearin her division of the Bay State League. She isthe school’s all-time leading soccer scorerwith 43 career goals. She also lettered fouryears in track and was a vice president of theschool chapter of Students Against DrunkDriving, and she played for the Charles RiverUnited club soccer team under LaVigne andRick Copeland.When she arrived at Boston College to tryout, Sarah was better prepared for the collegeSarah, Aidan, and Doug Bellgame than she’d ever imagined. She was alsoready to become a star defensive player, justas Kulik saw on that first day of practice.“I especially like the sheer physicalness ofit,” Sarah continued. “I think my best qualityis to stand people up and not let them get byme. You can’t check people, but there areways you can bring them down – go toground, tackle the ball, and so on.“I can’t say enough about Alison as mycoach. Her one-on-one encouragement, herstyle…she made me believe I could play atthat level and be the best player on the field.”Sarah started every game in her four yearsat the Heights. In her freshman season,Kulik’s rebuilding squad posted a 9-6-2 recordafter going 4-8-3 the prior year. The followingyear the team improved to 12-6-3. With Sarahroaming the backfield, Kulik was able to usethree defenders rather than four.“Sarah covered so much ground that wecould use a 3-5-2 formation rather than a 4-4-2. Her long-ball distribution with her left footwas one of her great strengths. She was alsoincredible in the air, so she was our target forall set pieces,” said the coach.Goaltender Courtney (Schaeffer) Scuderiagrees, pointing out, “Her vertical jump wastremendous. She could win a ball in the air.She’d be the first one to touch it and direct itto a team mate.”Sarah was the quiet one who led by examplewhile Courtney, her roommate, was theboisterous, on-field general who directed traffic.“Most of my defending was out of fear ofher,” cracked Sarah.“It was my personality to be vocal,”replied Courtney. “I’d tell her when to clearballs and when to challenge. We each couldread what the other was going to do. I knew25her boundaries, and she knew my boundaries.She could control the flow of the game.”Whenever a talented attacker had to beshut down, Sarah got the assignment. Hermost memorable feat there was in her juniorseason of 1999 when she held Seton Hall’sKelly Smith, the country’s leading scorer, totwo shots on free kick opportunities in a 4-0BC victory.“Kelly was the most feared forward in thecountry. I told Sarah ‘We’ll win if you containher.’ That was the best one-versus-one battleI’ve ever seen in soccer,” says Kulik.Sarah’s junior year was especially memorable.She earned the McElroy MemorialScholarship for leadership on and off the field.The team went 16-7-1 and made the NCAATournament for the first time in 14 seasons.They advanced to the Sweet 16 and knockedoff Harvard 2-1 in the playoffs before bowingout to UConn.BC’s defense, led by Powell at sweeper andSchaffer in goal, posted 12 shutouts and finishedamong the nation’s leaders with 0.97goals against per game. Sarah was a first teamRegional All-America pick that year. In 2000,her senior campaign, she was team captainand a second team All-American.Sarah was drafted by the Boston Breakersof the Women’s United Soccer Association andplayed in the league’s inaugural season whilefinishing up her degree requirements. Shestayed with the Breakers through March of2002 and coached young players in local clinicsas well.Sarah and her husband Doug Bell live inMillis with their 18-month-old daughterAidan. She works as a transportation and logisticsspecialist for C.H. Powell of Canton, herfamily’s international freight forwarding firm.

Trim is 8.5 x 11.0 --CHRIS HAMBLIN ‘01SoccerGiovanni Caboto - John Cabot in historybooks – set sail from Bristol, England in 1497and became the first European since LeifErickson to lay eyes on the mainland of theNew World. Exactly five hundred years later,Christopher Hamblin swallowed his misgivingsand set out from his home town ofBristol for North America. Like the renownednavigator, Hamblin made history too.Chris became the first Boston College soccerplayer to be named a first team AllAmerican. He also was the leader of the soccerClass of 2001 class that reversed a fouryearlosing skein and returned Boston Collegemen’s soccer to the national stage.In the fall of the year 2000, the Eagleswere the surprise of the Big East. They went12-7-1 overall and tied top-rankedConnecticut 1-1 in double overtime duringthe regular season. They knocked off favoredRutgers 1-0 and Seton Hall 2-1 to take theconference playoff crown and earn BostonCollege its first trip to the NCAA tournamentin ten years.As he had been throughout his career,Hamblin was immense in the net that season.Boston College had the eighth-stingiestdefense in the country, giving up just 17 goalsin 20 games. The acrobatic, undersized goaltenderhad an 0.84 goals-against averageoverall, and a mark of 0.44 in conferenceplay.Coach Ed Kelly states “Chris Hamblin’saccomplishments, making a first-team All-America while standing all of 5-8 or 5-9, arevery unusual. If he had been 6-3 or so, hewould have been a professional goalie andnever gone to college.“But he made up for his size by his workethic and his understanding of the game.He was quick, agile, had good decisioningand positioning. His reading of the game wasone of his keys to success.”Classmate Kevin Boyd, the team’s co-captainand the central defender, said ofHamblin, “His reflexes were so quick. Andhis distribution…he was the best and mostaccurate kicker on the team. As soon as hegot the ball I would break away from mydefender and head upfield.”Hamblin prefers to credit the entiresenior class with their career-capping successand Big East title. He points out that a largecontingent had arrived four years previously,and seven of them were starters as seniors.They had previously gone 5-9-2, 5-10-2, and6-9-2, and few people took them seriously.But they were a tightly knit and spiritedbunch, and with Chris once again the finalline of defense, they exited their collegecareers with a flourish.College soccer was not Hamblin’s initialchoice. In his youth he had hoped to be a professionalgoaltender. But despite his obvioustalent and intimate knowledge of the game’spsychology and nuances, he had no chance torealize that dream. The problem – he justwasn’t tall enough.In England, one either plays sports orgoes to university. But a friend who’d attendedFlorida Atlantic University told Chris thatin America he could play topnotch soccer andget an education too. That started Christhinking, and in short order a number ofserendipitous events came his way.A lady from Des Moines, Iowa namedRamona Barber, who just happened to be ahigh school guidance counselor, took a vacationtrip to England. She met a friend of theHamblin family and heard of Chris’s interestin coming to school in America. Thoughshe’d never met him, Mrs. Barber beganadvising Chris on all aspects of college admissions.– what tests to take, how to preparefor them, evaluate potential schools, and sellhimself to athletic recruiters.Chris sent a highlight videotape to soccercoaches at ten schools. Boston College wasnot on that list, but one of the tapes found itsway to Kelly at a coaches’ convention. Edneeded a goaltender, and he offered Chris a27scholarship after watching the film.Meanwhile, Hamblin had been acceptedto a UK university and began having secondthoughts about moving so far away. His fatherPaul urged him to take the BC offer, tellinghim that he might be saying “what if” formany years afterwards if he didn’t.So it was that Chris Hamblin journeyedfrom Bristol to Boston, steered to America bya guidance counselor he’d never met to bethe goaltender for a coach who’d never seenhim play. Serendipity it was, indeed.Chris loved the responsibility of mindingthe net. “Goal is a unique position. You’repart of a team, but it’s different. You’ve got ahero-villain situation going on there. You’vegot to work on the fundamentals, and thetechniques to push yourself to be the best youcan. I had to work on lateral movement a lot,and in our drills I hated to get beat,” he said.“It’s as much psychological as it is physical,”he says. “Playing the angles is a big partof it. You can position yourself to make thegoal look smaller than it actually is.Communication with your defenders isimportant too – you need to tell them to moveand shift, to close up the lanes.”Tim O’Halloran was another goaltender inthe Class of 2001 and an important influenceon Hamblin’s development. They spent agreat deal of time together, practicing andpushing each other to do better. Tim said,“Chris was extraordinarily gifted, with hisreaction saves and reflexes. He was remarkablein reacting to prevent headers anddeflections. He used to describe himself as a“cat on hot tiles.’”Chris still holds Boston College’s all-timerecord for minutes played in goal, logging6319 in 68 games. He is third in career saveswith 322 and second in shutouts with 24.Chris was an early and enthusiastic participantin community service during his studentdays, taking part in the HEAR programand coaching local youth teams. Among hismany accolades was the Brian D.A. HallLeadership Award, the university’s highestleadership honor.After graduation, Chris played professionallywith the Boston Bulldogs and joined thecoaching staff of Boston College Women’sSoccer, where he now is associate headcoach. He’s also a Region I OlympicDevelopment Program member. When Chrisand his wife, the former Elizabeth Baird,were married last year in Castle Combe,England, seven of his former teammates flewto England for the ceremony.
