For the first time in nine ye.irs of play, Drexcl's finest soccer team has won the Middle Atlantic Championship. The ten times victorious hooters rose to the top by dumping Rutgers, 4'3, the most excitinj^ j^ame ever played hy the Blue and Gold. Not to he nci^iected in con- tributinj' to the victory were seven carloads of Drexelites who drove to New Brunswick.
All the scoring in the regular game came in the first and third quarters. Four inches of mud in front of one goal greatly helped the

Of course, i t ’s widely kno w n tha t a t Drexel th e team has to hold m a ny la te pract ices and in between all these ac t iv i ties E ddie has to w ork ou t th e schedule for the next game. This involves first, going over the movie of the preceding w e e k ’s g am e maybe tw en ty times so t h a t each p layer is checked in each play.
T hen the coach reviews movies of last y e a r ’s game. Final ly , a f t e r c ons ide r ing advance in fo rm at ion f rom the scouts, Eddie can begin p lan n in g the plays.
W i th such a rugged schedule you can see why the head of the Allen house d oesn ’t see much of h is family d u r in g footba ll season. H owever , Margy, E d d ie ’s a t t r a c t ive wife, and his four tow-headed boys, Ted, CJeorge, Dave and Mike, e n t e r into the sp i r it of th ings and s u p p o r t th e i r Dad and Drexel all the way.

Margy packs eleven-year -old Ted and his whole gan g in to the s t a t ion w agon every gam e day and th is yea r they a t ten d ed every one b u t Lycoming. Ted, a le ft end for th e six th g rade team, de l ights his l)arents by p laying the ‘‘Drexel F ig h t S ong” by ea r on the piano.
George, a typical, ta lka t ive , t i r e less, th i rd - g ra d e r can spiel off the na m e s of every m an on D rexe l’s te am. He also gets a la rge charge ou t of te l l ing anyone w h o ’ll l i sten a b o u t the rou gh t imes he and Ted gave th e te am when they vis ited the team ou t a t Drexel Lodge. It seems E dd ie le ts th e boys stay o ve rn igh t th e last week-end of football camp.

for a better-tasting cigarette when all you have to do is
Ught up a Lucky? Luckies taste better, first, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is
TOASTED to taste better. So light up a Lucky. It’s the

Dragon Courtmen Set Out For Third Straight Title

This year , Drexel, M.A.C. C ham pions for the past two years, will a t t e m p t to m ake it th ree in a row. Compet it ion for the honor of being p a r t of the s t a r t in g five in this team endeavor is fa r from over. Posi tions, o the r than those of Seniors H ar ley and Loomis and J u n ior Rob Ruckley, a re being hotly con tes ted and it is possible Sam Cozen will not m ak e his final decision un ti l J a n u a r y 4. On this date Drexel’s Dragons will t ravel to L ebanon V’alley to open th e i r 19 56 season.
Lead ing the pack of twelve p layers will be Co-captains Rill Har ley and Jo hn Loomis. Tog e th e r these two tine ball players p resen t an im posing pic tu re of what makes a team click.

J o h n Loomis, in his second year w i th the Dragons since his t r a n s fer from D elaware has ta k e n over th e o th e r co-captain position. He and H ar ley will w ork to ge the r in b r ing ing the ball into scor ing posit ion, and J o h n ’s deadly scoring eye will go fa r in keeping D.LT. on the w inning side of the ledger. Las t yea r J o h n ’s ball st ea ling abi l i ty caused a g re a t deal of pleasant co m m en t and Drexel is looking fo rw ard to an o th e r “ Now you see it, now you d o n ’t ” season from its versa t i le co-captain.

by Helen Callas
The mighty Dragon footba ll team th a t won over every team they played th is year , t inally met a team they cou ld n ’t beat— yes, Drexel’s own vars ity hockey team. This hilar ious game was played on Wednesday on the local field and a f t e r quite a ba t tle wound up In a 2-2 deadlock.
Helen Callas opened the scoring for the speedy gir ls on a penal ty bully. A bit of shady tact ics occu rred when Vidas and P le t rzak double-teamed Callas, for which Helen was aw arded the penal ty shot. This so en raged the u n d e r dog male eleven th a t they s to rm ed hack with two quick goals. Del Campo and Zador, all-city fo rw ards from Little Flower, counted qu ic k ly on a “ do w n-and-ou t” and a “ flatten L e n d e rm a n ” play.
Already quite ou t of shape, the foo tballe rs were forced to reso r t to more unethica l procedures . Sharp-eyed Susie I .amb was quick to spot these infrac t ions and a w ard .Miss Callas a n o th e r pana l ty shot. She scored to even the count .

and went 4:i ya rds for ou r first TD. I .a te r Rob Miller blocked his th i rd punt of the yea r and Ron Kleppinger caught the ball in the ai r and went 20 yards for the second TD. F ra n k Russo went for 22 yards and a TD on a handoff. This 20-G win es tabli shed a new record and the tlrst undefea ted season in Drexel his tory.

Rill Mar tin , and o th e rs did much to Insp ire our team by the i r p resence at home and pa r t icu la r ly a t away games. My th a n k s to the a d m in is t ra t ion for Its confidence and t rus t, th ro tigh difficulties as well as tr i t imphs .
And now at last we come to the football p layers themse lves! It is Impossible to comple tely express In mere words the pra ise and comm enda t ion which these boys of mine deserve. They a re as nea r perfect in a lmost every way that one could ask for. The most im p o r t a n t Ing red ien ts of a great football team were present In a b u n d ance. They might he explained as follows:
T h e Magic of n e l lev lng We all had the u tm o s t confidence in each o th e r and in ourselves, and in the even tua l ou tcom e of each game.
M a tu re .Xttltude^ We were never dem ora l ized hy any bad breaks . If one p layer m ade a mis take . the team as a whole would absorb tha t e r r o r and fight all the h a rde r . Fo r exam ple , In the Lycoming game, the score was close early in the game.
We fumbled a pu n t on ou r 15- yd. line, which could easily have tu rne d into a score for Lycoming if we had let down. However, th e re was an obvious su rg e of team spir it and effort which pushed Lycoming in fou r plays back on the .‘{5-yd. line, w here we took over.
Top IMiyslcal ( 'o nd l t lon The hoys w orked ha rd , and while many te am s were very tough , we were able to out- flght and ou t- las t them all in o u r s tam ina . W’e were never headed in any game. T h ree or fo u r t imes , ou r opponen ts pulled the score up even, but we always su rged ahead . W'e were especially fo r tu n a t e in the m a t t e r of in juries . Tom C a l lahan suffe red a b roken co l la rbone a t cam p bu t we did not
have a real ser ious In ju ry a f te r - w-ard.
In te lHgcnt IMaying My hoys this yea r were the s m a r t e s t d iag nost ic ians and the qu ickes t and ca lmest in a d ju s t in g to opposing tact ics of any g roup I have had at Drexel. T here were c o m p a ra tively few busted ass ignments . Each man le arned his job well.
Ou ts tan t l lng L eadersh ip Ev (Jest and Art DeR'anipo were the finest le aders jiossible. They held the team solidly to g e th e r and ta lked th ings over ca lmly and logically at all t imes. One might say they played and led th e i r team with he a r t s of fire and nerves of steel,
Kun in IMaying We never got so serlotis about th e m ou n t in g pressu re tha t we fo rgo t tha t football is a gam e w here one should en joy h im self and have a lot of fun. This paid off in sh a rp e r , c l ea re r minds , and re su l ted in playing with a l igh t -hea r ted viciousness.
In te res t in T eam .Surress At no t ime d u r ing the en t i r e season was th e re even a h in t of selfishness. We played to g e th e r except ional ly well and cons tan t ly encouraged each o the r , never cri t i c iz ing one ano the r . Everyone was proud to be a p a r t of the te am and the en t i re team was genuine ly happy about the recogni tion an d publicity accorded any one of Its members . Natura l ly , many boys w an ted to play more th a n they did. My only regret of the season Is t h a t I could not play everyone as much as I would have liked.
We must pay special t r ib u te to ou r 1955 f r e sh m an te am, who, in th e i r roles of u n su n g he roes , every W ednesday a f t e rn o o n pursu ed with g re a t zest and skill the necessary and helpfu l job of op e ra t in g otir next o p p o n e n t ’s defenses versus the Varsi ty. A n a tu ra l love for football con tac t was ev idenced hy the sha rp crack of le a the r in these contes ts .
We a re proud of the fine spi rit of the en t i r e s(iuad, par t icu la r ly the unselfish efforts of Rill Alter, Andy Reronich, Ron Kidd, Tony DaGrosa , Rob DeColll , Ed Schmidt, Dave Richie, and Sal (Jambone. To these and th e en t i re f r e sh m a n squad, all we have to say besides, “ T h a n k s a lo t” Is “ Hit those old books ju s t as ha rd and be a ro u n d next f a l l ! ! ”
