1934

The foliage was beautiful in Hanover and environs for the Penn game, but the results of the game were even more beautiful. Because of the lapse of time in the printing of this stuff, it might be unwise to make any further editorial comment on the strength of the Big Green, for some team from U-Who-U might just come along and beat out their brains.

Due to the necessity of a one-day stand and the complications arising from having a boy at Dartmouth and a girl in nurses' training at Mary Hitchcock, most of the day on either side of the game itself is spent in trying to find them first and feeding them afterwards. We did, however, see Dick Emerson at a distance in the stands and daughter Carol who will be a reliable scout on the Hanover scene. She reported that Jake Edwards and Jocko Stangle were in town the night before although she, being bashful like her father, had hesitated to speak to them.

We also had a chance to spend a little time with Chick Evans who has retired, of course, but still looks about the same as he did when he tried to teach most of us a little something about various brands of athletics.

Our local scout also reports that among the entering freshmen are Al Cotton's boy, Al Jr., and Dr. Art Ward's boy, Steve. There are more, for sure, but we won't catch up to that until the mills grind a little smaller up there in the Ad Building.

It's hard to believe, but there are fellows wandering around Hanover nowadays wearing hats on which is imprinted 1964. Which means that it was 30 YEARS AGO that North Mass freshmen, dressed as Oriental sultan and harem, won the Delta Alpha prize ... that Commander Byrd received a tumultuous reception in Hanover ... and frosh captains were Michelet, football; Cook, crosscountry ... when the first snow of the year fell on October 25, during which storm 1934 beat Roxbury 6-0 ... and Dick Bell and other newly arrived southern brethren were consulting timetables to the deep, warm southland ... when Prof. Brown lectured to a full house on "paradoxes in Scoring of Athletic Events" ... and, in spite of paradoxes, the '34 team wound up an unbeaten football season.

NAMES IN THE NEWS this month is a little thin.... Aluminum Company of America has announced the appointment of Richard C. Benedict as manager of its Louisville branch sales office. Dick was previously resident manager of the company's Phoenix (Ariz.) office. Dick joined Alcoa as a laboratory assistant in Cleveland in 1935. He later became safety director, and then assistant director of industrial relations at the Cleveland works. In 1945, Dick transferred to the sales department at Cleveland, and, a year later, moved to the Akron branch office. In 1952, he was assigned to the Los Angeles sales office, and in 1958, was named resident manager of the Phoenix office.

Henry Rosen has been made a full professor at Bridgewater State College, Bridgewater, Mass. A member of the faculty since 1952, he is director of the college's audio-visual education and public relations, and also serves as tennis coach. Henry is a member of the American Association of University Professors, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic Coaches, and several other educational groups. He was awarded a doctor's degree in education from Boston University this year, the same school from which he received a master's degree in 1941.

The address changes this month give us a few tips ... for instance, Rus Smart has returned from India to his professorship at University of Rhode Island.... The old fireballer, Red Aiken, is director of industrial relations for Commercial Motor Freight in Columbus, Ohio Jack Banks is now in Oklahoma City Bob Terhune, after a Texas sojourn, is now located in Peoria, Ill ...and Bob Offenbach is now merchandise manager of H. P. Selman Co. in Louisville.

Which is about all. Buster Snow's famous "tear bag" now seems to have become the permanent possession of ye sec and we'll don it once more to admit that the usual complications of having to work for a living have made this month a rough one and this column a short one.
