FTER trailing Albright College by one point throughout most of the first
half, a rejuvenated &son herd csme back in the second half and stampeded
up and down the field to roll up twelve first downs and seventeen points
to win the game 23 to 7.
I t was an altered Thundering Herd which swept down the field again and
Especially brllhant was the work of the Ime. For the first tune d-g
the
season the Lne functxoned perfectly on the offense, npp~ngopen wlde holes for the
backs, taking out the ends, and cleaning out the secondary defense. W l e , Priest,
Myers, and Vetter took advantage of the change and cbalked up a total of seventeen first downs.
Priest, Myers, and Hlnkle scored the touchdowns for the Snavelpnen. Hmkle
scored two out of three points after touchdown and kicked a perfect field goal.
Stonebreaker, Marez, James, Goodwin, Farina, and Fry left nothmg to be desired
BUCKNELL 0 TEMPLE 0
HE rwinhLng heels of Heydrich and the lightning-fast thinking of Whittock,
Bison and Owl quarterbacks, were the pnme factors m holdmg the score 1.
the annual Bucknell-Temple game to a 0-0 deadlocli in a thrill-packed night
game in the Owl's stadium before 30,000 spectators.
In the first quarcer Heydrich staved off a Temple score by downing Wlnow
on the &-yard line after a stirring nce over half the length of the field.
In the last seconds of the game Whirtock fumbled a bad pass from the Temple
center, and the ball rolled over the goal line. The quick thinking of the Owl
signal c d e r robbed the B~sonsof a safety and vlfmry when he picked up the ball
and threw i t blindly down the field.
Bucknell dominated the play throughout the greater part of the game, keeping
the ball m Temple territory most of the time. The B h gained ground cons i s t e d ~in punting, avenging a ten-yud gain on each exchange.
The entire BuckneU team came in for a lot of credit. Hinkle, Myers, and
Heydrich scintillated in the bacKeld, while every man who played on the line was
extremely effective in stopping the Tmple backs.
BUCKNELL 46
GETTYSBURG 0
ILOTED by Clark Hinkle, the Thundering Herd tore into Gettysburg College
before a large Fathers' Day crowd in Memorial Stadium with the result that
two touchdowns were scored in the first ten minutes, and the game soon became
a rout with Bucknell on the long end of a 46 to 0 score.
George Vetter led the attack with two touchdowns, the second score coming
on the kick-off immediately following his first touchdown. Vetter took the kickoff on his own two-yard line and raced ninety-eight yards down the sidelines for
Hinkle, in a new role as qslarterback, did not carry the ball once when the
Herd was in a scoring position, preferring to let the others make the touchdowns.
His punting was perfect, one of them going out of bounds on the one-foot line,
another on the nine-yard line, and a11 of them within the fifteen-yard line. He
showed splendid judgment in calling the plays, and was a star on the defense.
Nied, Dorman, Farina, Marter, Endler, and Stonebreaker were towers of
strength on the h e . Every man on the squad was in the game for a time. The
find backfield of Bean, Peters, Verhey, and Caravaglio ripped through for gains
which just fell short of another touchdown.
BUCKNELL 0 VILLANOVA 0
HE Bison of Bucknell and the Wildcat of Villanova met on the gridiron at
Scranton, and after an hour of hectic fighting in the mud and rain emerged
from the battle deadlocked at 0 to 0.
Everything that a football game can offer was given the spectators. The
crowd marvelled ar how any human wall could withstand the thrusts that these
two teams made. On more than one occasion only one man stood between the
runner and the goal l i e .
There was only one scoring play, a beautifully executed forward pass from
Hinkle to Myers who ran the hall across the goal, only to be called hack because
of an off-side penalty.
Statistics of the game show that the Thundering Herd, having nine f i s t
downs to three for the Wildcats, had more offensive power than Villanova, hut
the slippery field was against the Bisons.
Hinkle was again the star of the game with his daring offensive drives, his
passing and kicking, and deadly tackles.
BUCKNELL 10 W. sc J. 6
A
Bison team, which for the past thirty years had been jinxed by the Presidents
from Washington and Jefferson Callege, stampeded its way to a glorious
10-6 Homecoming Day victory before a crowd of 10,000 in the Memorial
Stadium.
"Tony" Mezza scored every point for the Snavelymen, and backed up the
line so well that the concerted efforts of the hailed "Stew" Wilson and Deacle
went for nought. Mezza scored a touchdown, kicked the goal after touchdown, and booted a seventeen-yard held goal from placement.
The Thundering Herd outplayed the Prexies in every department of the
game, scoring eight first downs to seven for W. 8 J., and those seven were so
scattered as to be ineffective.
The entire Bucknell team played brilliantly and showed more fight and spirit
than in any other game played up to that time.
"There were quite a number of Western Pennsylvania alumni who came out
to see Bucknell lose, but were glad to be disappointed. They had waited thirty
years t o have the opportunity to go home without a 'razzberry' awaiting them.
Thirty years is long enough to try the patience of any person, but he who laughs
last laughs best," so ran an item in the Burknellian the week following the game.
The heralded passing attack of the Red and Black was futile against alert
Bucknell linemen and backs, and only one gain via the aerial mute could be completed by them. For the Presidents, Wilson. Armstrong, and Rosso shone in the
backfield, while McNeil, Rigney, and Johnson played exceptionally well in the line.
BUCKNELL 1 4 FORDHAM 13
EVER in football history have spectators viewed a more aggressive, and a
more determined football team than the unbeaten Bison aggregation which
came back in the last minutes of the first half and again in the second half
to score two touchdowns and both extra points to down the great undefeated
Fordham Ram 14 to 13 in one of the outstanding upsets of the season at the
Polo Grounds in New York City before 21,000 fans.
With Fardham holding a 1 3 point lead in the closing minuter of the first
half, the Thundering Herd began a relentless drive that ended only after they had
crossed Fordham's line for seven points. Again in the third quarter Bucknell
began a sixty-yard drive which ended in a touchdown on a pass from Priest to
Fry. Mezza kicked the extra point which gave Bucknell a great victory, an undefeated team, and the championship of the East. Nine seniors played their last
game for Bucknell against the Fordham Ram: Captain Marter, Hinkle, Mezza,
Fry, Hoak, Goodwin, Crowe, Stonebreaker, and Trudnak.
A beautiful scene in memory of Christy Mathewson was enacted between the
halves, when the Bucknell band marched down t o one end of the field m d placed
a wreath of flowers over the memorial plaque bearing his name. Heads were
bared as a trumpeter played "taps," and a short speech was made. A touching
tribute to one of Alma Mater's favorite sons.
The New York Herald Tribune in a recent issue after the Fordham game
said, "The only unbeaten football team in the East playing a major schedule this
season rests at the top of the group designated as the New Sixteen, and thrown
together through the playing of mutual opponents. With its victory over Fordham last Saturday, Bucknell rose to the peak and completed its schedule with nix
victories, two ties, and no defeats against major Eastern teams."
Bucknell rooters after the game were rewarded with samples of the coveted
goal pasts from the old Polo Grounds. Hundreds of Bucknell students made
merry on the field while thousands of Fardham adherents stood in the stands and
watched.
Captain
"Cyi'
Marter
0 be the leader of a Bucknell football team is indeed an honor at any time,
but to be the leader of Bucknell's first undefeated team, the only undefeated
team in the East, a team that won for itself national recognition and esteem
during the past season, is the honor that was bestowed upon the broad shoulders
of Captain "Cy" Marter, varsity tackle for three years.
Never in faotball history have spectators viewed a more aggressive, a more
determined Bucknell team- a team that kept hammering away at a Fordham
13-13 lead until they had overcome that lead and humbled the great Ram, 14-13.
To "Cy" Marter goes the honor of captaining such a team and a large share
of the credit. A great player himself, "Cy" was an inspiring and aggressive
leader throughout a difficult schedule.
Marter is also a fine basketball player, having played varsity guard for two
years. H e is a member of the Druids and the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and
hails from Haddonfield, N. J.
Clark Hinkle,
"The
Lackawanna Express1'
0 Clark Hinkle, "The Lackawanna Express" as he is known ro sports writers,
West at San Francisco on New Year's Day, and the greatest player on the field
that day is the record hung up by the husky youth from Toronto, Ohio.
"Hink" played quarterback most of the past football season and seldom
carried the ball when BuckneU was in a scoring position, yet he was the best player
in every department of the sport in every game played. His favorite trick was to
drop back from the line, get off a quick kick and then get down the field in time
to make the tackle. He wrs second to none in the art of running and passing the
hall, and was on the receiving end of many passes.
Hinkle was the star of Stan in the East-West charity game played at San
Francisco on New Year's Day. Although he and "Reb" Russel of Northwestern
shared the fullback post during the game, Hinkle gained more ground than any
on the field. He carried the ball eleven times for a total of fiftyother
four yards, twenty-one more than his nearest rival. "Hink" also starred on the
defense with his breaking up of passes and in the manner in which he backed up
First and second places and honorable mentions on many of the "all" teams
were bestowed upon him galore.

Paralysis Hinders Frosh Season
Despite an epidemic of Infantile Paralysis among the members of the freshman football squad, which necessitated z cancellation of several games and a long
cessation of practice, the yearlings won three of the four games played. The team
won from the Western Maryland Frosh, Bellefonte Academy, and Wyoming
Seminary, laring only to the powerful Dickinson Seminary team.
The seasan might well be termed a success because of the great handicap
under which Coach Malcolm Musser developed his men, practice having to be
discontinued for a month because of the disease. The victory over Bellefonte war
the second in the history of Bucknell freshman teams, the other win being scored by
last year's undefeated team.

Bucknell's record on the basketball court, while it was not impressive m the
numbu of victories chalked up, was a slight improvement over the last few years.
Seven teams went down before the Plantmen, whde nine others succeeded in taktng the measure of the Bison quintet.
The season opned with two hdliint victories over "Map Musser's Troop G
team and Western Maryland College, only to follow with a low in the third by four
p i n t s to the strong Temple five in a close, exc~tinggame. The team came back
and then fell before Lafayette, Duqueme, Penn

Harry Fry, a varsity star of two years ago, reported for the team in midseason with Clark Hinkle The next game, with Dickinson, was a victory for
Bucknell, Chenoweth and Fry scoring enough points between them to win the
game. The team next travelled to Colgate where ~t recaved amther set hack, hut
came back to win from W. 8 J. Lebanon Valley won the next game, and then
the Bisons came hack to finish the home season with a victory over Juniata. The
team closed the season in Philadelphia where it lost to Temple and won from
Villanova in the last game of the season.
"Steam" Chenoweth was the scoring ace of the season w ~ t h141 pints, a1though he was hard pushed by Harry Fry. Hepler and Logan, the guard holdovers from last year played splendid ball all season. Hinkle, Eastbum, and MacKenzie alternated at forward with Chenowerb, and all could be counted upon to
fill the vacancies in a splendid manner.
John P h is to be congratulated in forming a team that could be taken over
so easily by "Mal" Musser when coach Plant became s~ck,and to "Mal" muse go
great creht for carrying on the work of coaching the team so well.
Captain Logan, Heeler, Williams. Chenoweth, Hinklc, Fry, Eastburn, MacKenzie, Vaughn, Smnh, Fisher, and manager Pmctor were awarded letters.

The Bucknell track team last season uncovered some very good performers
and gave promise of better things for Bucknell in the future.
Captain Coates turned out to be one of the best middle distance runners in
the Middle Atlantic states, gaining the title of champion in both the mile and
as well as breaking the
half-mile runs at the Central Pennsylvania Inter~olle~iater
Bucknell half-mile record which had staod for years. Coates won both of these
races in every meet during the entire season.
Norman MacKenzie, high jumper, broad jumper, and hurdler, was a consistent scorer all Season and won the high jump a t the championship meet. Captain-elect Sullivan took second in the pole vault in the Central Pennsylvania meet
and was a winner all season in hurdles. Harry Fry was the only weight man to
win his letter. Captain Coates, Captain-elect Sullivan, Charles E. Wells, Norman
D. MacKenzie, Harry G. Fry, Charles L. Titus, and Manager Charles M. Stump
were awarded letters.

Playing some of the best soccer teams in the East, Bucknell's bwters finished
their third season of intercollegiate competition with a record of one win and four
defeats. Three games were lost by one-point margins: Army, East Stroudsburg,
and Temple.
West Point was the first team to take the measure of the Bisons, the score
being 1-0. Lafayette College, enjoying a successful season, was beaten by Bucknell
in the fastest game of the year. Navy's fine team ran roughshod over the Orange
and Blue, and the Temple University hwters scored too many goals against a
starting second team on Homecoming Day to finish the season.
The play of Nathaniel Glazier, both on defense a d offense, was an inspiration
to the team. Stem, Bison goalie, was one of the best in the East. The coaches of
both the Army and Navy teams showered praises upon him for his fine playing.
The following men received varsity letters: Nathaniel Glazier, Samuel Stern,
William Parson, John Longstreth, Samuel Kempler, James Logan, Frank Esposito,

Winning four matches out of thirteen scheduled, Bucknell's vanity tennis
team enjoyed a fairly successful season on the courts. Rain interfered with the
playing of four of the matches, while the Bisonr were forced to yield to superior
foes in five ocher engagements.
Bucknell scored two victories over Susquehanna, while Gettysburg and
Bloomshurg State Teachers' College were the other victims. Fraddin and Marshall
scored two victories over the Bisons, and Penn State, Villanova, and Swarthmare
vanquished our racketeers in other engagements. Rain washed out the matches
scheduled with Villanova, Juniata, Carnegie Tech, and Gettysburg.
Bill Boger, '34 was the most consistent winner on the Bucknell squad. Bill
finished the season with a record of seven wins and two losses. He was the real
find of the season. Captain Englerth, Siede, and Halpern turned in some nice
victories for our netmen.
Chades Siede, '33 has been elected Captain of this year's team and will be
ably assisted by Englerth, Bager, Halpern, and Vaughn.

Only one defeat marred the record of the boxing team in its fifth season
of intercollegiate competition. The team came back from an early reverse at the
hands of West Virginia University to win from Washington and Jefferson, Catholic University, Duquesne, and Temple. One meet, with Carnegie Tech, war cancelled because of injuries and sickness among the members of the Tech team.
Aside from the long string of victories compiled by the team, five Bison boxers created enviable records for themselves. Captain Bwrner won the 121-pound
title in the Intercollegiate Boxing Matches held at Carnegie Tech, while Berley
and Kvbacki ezch received second place medals in the 141 and 161-pound classes
in the same meet.
Bucknell sent three of her boxers to the Olympic Boxing Trials a t Penn State.
Captain Boerner, Dill, in the 131-pound class, and Kliman, in the 141-pound class,
were the men selected by Coach Reno to try for the Olympic team.

The Bucknell freshmen had a poor season on the court, winning only three
games of the ten scheduled. The victories were regisrered over the Lewisburg high
school ourfit in the f i s t game of the season, and the Susquehanna University Reserves on two occasions. Wyoming Seminary and Keystone Academy each took
the measure of the Bisonettes twice, while Peddie, Dickinson Seminary, and the
Penn State freshmen each won one game from the yearlings.
Although the freshmen were weak as a team, several men showed promise of
developing into vanity material for future years. Hughes and Thompson were
the best of the forwards, while Leichliter should have no trouble breaking into
the varsity as a center.

The Bucknell freshman track team climbed to new heights last spring when
they won three out of four meets and won the medley relay for college freshman
teams at the Central Pennsylvania Intercollegiates held at Selinsgmve.
The yeadings started the season with a brilliant win over Susquehanna Frosh
and continued this streak throughout with the exception of a reverse from Wyoming Seminary's well-balanced team.
Simonsen, Safford, SzypuLki, and Deacon were the four men who composed
the medley relay team which for the second straight year won the race for college
freshman teams a t the intercollegiate meet. Forrest Priest, freshman football and
track srar, made a new university record in the javelin when he threw the stick
one hundred and eighty-five feet. Other men who will be of value to the varsity
for the next three years are: John Dempsey, Harold Endler, Edward Myers, Hubert
Verhey, John Jett, Roland Bean, and John Kubacki.

HE interest which has been developing for the last six years in intramural
athletics attained a new level this year with the addition of two new sports
to the already large schedule. The interfraternity track meet and the inwfraternity cross-country run were the new sports.
The interfraternity track meet, held last spring in the Memorial Stadium,
found the Sigma Chi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities deadlocked at 3 1 5 to
3 1 5, after a stirring one-mile relay had enabled the Sigma Chis to tie the score.
The indoor baseball league found the Sigma Chis again at the top with Sigma
Alpha Epsilon runner-up for the league cup. Each team was the leader of its
respective league.
The interfraternity cross-country run, held in the fall over the four-mile
course, was won by Delta Sigma fraternity, with Alpha Chi Mu second, and Kappa
Delta Rho third.
Sigma Chi fraternity took its third cup of the year in the soccer finals when
Theta Upsilon Omega was defeated two games in a row in night contests held
under the floodlights of Memorial Stadium. Phi Kappa Psi and Alpha Chi Mu
were beaten in the semi-hls.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon defeated Kappa Sigma in two consecutive games to win
the basketball championship for the sewnd successive year. The first game went
to Sigma Alpha Epsilon by a one-point margin. In the second game Sigma Alpha
Epsilon won'more handily due to the splendid work of its reserves in the last
few minutes of the game.
Interest and competition in intramural athletics was just as keen among the
women students as among the men. By virtue of an undefeated season, Alpha Chi
Omega won the hockey championship for the fifth successive year. Kappa Delta,
defeated only by the champions, finished second.
Kappa Delta defeated Delta Delta Delta sorority 19 to 18 in the final game
of the playofi to win the women's basketball cup. Kappa Delta lost only the second
game of the finals, ~ n n i n gup large scores on every team but the Tri-Delts.

Athletics
for
All
Following the policy of most modern universities, Bucknell seems well on the
road to accomplishing the worthwhile ideal of "athletics for all," by a splendid
system of intramural sports, both among the men's and the women's fraternities.
Although it is impossible to estimate the exact number of students who participate in interfraternity athletics, it is known that hundreds benefit from the
various contests, and with plans unde~wayfor interfraternity golf teams next
year, many more will be added to the already long list.
A t a late date this year volleyball was added to the interfraternity contests,
bringing a large number of new students into participation, and it does not seem
too much to hope for an organization of interfraternity boxing groups in the
near future.
Interfraternity Track M e e t
HE Sigma Chi mile relay team raced to victory in the final event of the second
annual interfraternity track and field meet held in Memorial Stadium in
the spring of '31 to tie the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team for f i n t honors by r
3 1% to 31 point score.
Throughout the meet the competition was very keen, with points being split
many daerent ways. N o team was able to amass enough points to feel safe at
any time during the afternoon. Although the events were run 08in a cold rain
which hampered the Greek performers, same very good performances were made.
Ken Miller, running for Sigma Chi in the century and furlong, came through t o
win the hundred yard dash from Verhey, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in the fast time of
10.4; while in the two-twenty the situation was reversed with Verhey leading
Miller to the tape in another fast race. Forrest Priest, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, threw
the javelin 170' 1" which lowered the University record by several feet.
Norman MacKenzie, competing for Phi Kappa Psi, was the high scorer for
the meet with a first in the high jump, first in the high hurdles, and a second in
the low hurdles. Henry Cottes, Demie captain of the varsicy track team, had
little trouble in disposing of nll opposition in the mile and half mile to give Delta
Sigma two first places. In the mile Coates wan as he pleased, while in the 880
Randall, Phi Kappa Psi, gave him more opposition.
The weight events found the S. A. E. team in complete control as Priest won
the javelin and Dempsey, Fry, and Priest finished first, second, and fourth in the
shot put. Sigma Chi piled up its total in the pole vault and broad jump when
Sullivan won the former and Wells tied for second. Myers and Bean were second
and third in the broad jump, &st place going to Strouse, Alpha Chi Mu. These
points brought the score, as far as the two leading teams were concerned t o 28%
for S. A. E., and 26 % for the Sigma Chis.
Then came the relay, the final event of the meet and the event which enabled
Sigma Chi to tie the score. Bean, running for the Sigma Chis, led Simonson,
Kappa Sigma, Vogt, S. A. E., and Rider, Theta Upsilon Omega. The Kappa Sigs
jumped into the lead at the pass of the baton when Williams took the stick from
Simonson. He was closely followed by Wells, Verhey, and Sberwmd. Sigma Chi
again t m k the lead when Wells passed Williams in the hack stretch and gave
Fenstemacher a comfortable lead. Kappa Sigma dropped the baton in passing i t
and Endler moved up into second place for the S. A. E. team. Fenstermacher
widened the gap and gave the baton to Miller who was never headed, and the meet
ended with the 31 % to 31 % tie.

one case among the squad.
