FOREWORD
Each year the Jambalaya Editor and his staff are faced with the rather difficult task of creating some-thing
original and satisfying within the narrow limits of what a yearbook must be by definition. They also
realize that since the yearbook will be read by all segments of the student population, the format must be
designed so as to appeal in as many directions as possible. The 1959 Jambalaya has ijeen composed
with these two problems constantly in mind. The staff has attempted to balance a wide photographic
coverage of events with professional art, sophistication with humor, informal layouts with the more formal,
and straight copy with that of a fanciful nature. Also, an increased amount of color was used throughout
the various sections as accent.
There is no dominant theme ruiming through this book. The separate sections are related only in that
they pertain to the same suljject—Tulane 1959. This year has been an important one in the history of
Tulane; the physical plant has been greatly expanded and many far-reaching decisions affecting policy
have been made. Yet, in most respects, it has been a year like most others. The staff hopes that they have
captured both facets in this 1959 yearbook. Our measure of success will be determined by the pleasure you
derive now and in the future from your Jambalaya.

DEDICATION
/ /
The 1959 Jambalaya was dedicated from the moment that work first
began. It is for you—the students of Tulane and Newcomb—that this year-book
is composed and published as your record of 1959; it is your
activities and interests that have been pictured here; it is your satisfaction
and enjoyment that the StafF has kept constantly in mind. Now, the Staff
wishes to acknowledge what has been its purpose from the beginning
in formally dedicating this 1959 Jambalaya to you, our readers.

The events of the year have made a Httle clearer
and a little sharper the unresolved issues and prob-lems
of our time. Members of the Class of 1959
soon will reach the day when these matters will be
theirs to meet. No one will expect them to possess
all the wisdom necessary to answer them, but they
should be expected to employ the liberated and
trained mental qualities necessary to meet new and
even harsh realities as they emerge. Fortunately for
mankind they do not come all at once nor in irrevoc-able
form. University men and women are now
filled with greater concern for world needs as well
as their own than ever before. This is substantially
the best hope of America—that her future may
reside largely in the judgment which should come
from the unspoiled and vigorous young people
who day by day are being prepared and tempered
in the universities. They will increasingly include. I
hope, most of the leaders of government, as well as
of business and the professions.
When those who graduate in 1959 return to this
campus, they will find Tulane living with a new
generation, dealing with new problems and pre-paring
new workmen for the future. This is the way
unity in life and time and purpose is served and
preserved. So it has been always and so it must
be if Tulane is to be significant. I hope this year-book
may bring bright memories of your good
years here.

body occupy a very essential part in the life of Tulane, and
it is through their dedicated work that the student life
at Tulane runs so smoothly.

DIVISION
OF STUDENT LIFE
JOHN H. STIBBS
As we close this year, we close an era in Tulane student life—the period
during which the Student Center on Freret Street has been the seat of Tulane
student government, the home of this Jambalaya, the center for student
services, and the scene of countless receptions, club meetings, and parties.
This Student Center was built in 1940 from funds donated by alumni and
friends of the University. At that time, it was a welcome addition to our
campus, and since then, many student presidents, many editors, many student
councils and other groujis have worked faithfully in this building for the
benefit of a generation of Tulanians.
But now, as our campus life has developed, we find this Student Center no
longer adequate for our growing needs. Next year, as once before, we will
again welcome the opening of a new home for student activties on the campus.
We are confident that the dedication of those students and staff members who
worked in the old building can be achieved again in our new University
Center, and that the new facilities will inspire the continuing development of
a richer campus life.

DEAN JOHN E. DINWIDDIE
School of Archileclure
The School of Architecture, through its five year program,
strives to integrate the architect as a social human being,
a good citizen of his environment large or small. Although
the School is primarily concerned with and dedicated to the
development of a living and vigorous native architecture
for the southern region, it feels that the students should be
equipped to adapt their work to any region.
DR. T. T. EARLE
Summer School
Summer school may be attended by students enrolled in
any College of Tulane University or any other university.
Courses offered are used toward undergraduate and grad-uate
degrees. Summer school offers an opportunity to sup-plement
programs with courses of particular interest, make
up deficiencies of prerequisites, and to reduce the length
of time required to qualify for a degree.
STUDENT
TOM McKAY
Student Body President
Under the Constitution of the Associated Student Body of
Tulane University the power of student government are
vested in the Student Council which meets twice monthly
during the school year. Delegates are from the ten colleges
and schools of the university.
The principal duties of the Student Council are to repre-sent
the Student Body in all matters of student government;
to provide for proper hearing for parties interested in any
proposed action : to recommend recognition of student or-ganizations
and activities; to exercise financial control over
the organizations and activities which receive University
funds; and to revoke the charter of any student organiza-tion
which fails to fulfill its objectives.
The Student Council shares many of the duties with its
operating Boards, the Publications Board, the Student Ac-tivities
Board, the University Honor Council and the newly
formed Student Union Board.
During the past year the Council has worked on commit-tees
with faculty members and administers to alleviate cam-pus
problems. The spirit of cooperation developed has con-tributed
much to the improvement of campus life and has
resulted in the student body assuming a more responsible
citizenship.
Some of the projects undertaken by the Student Council
were: the planning of the administration and program of the
new Union Building, the relaxation of the cut system, the
revision of the financial operations of the Student Publica-tions,
the sponsoring of popular entertainment in the con-cert
series, the conducting of the United Fund Drive, the
implementation of the University-wide Honor System, and
the general improvement of athletic affairs.

TULANE
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Tulane Alumni Association was incorporated in
1898, dedicated to the broad principles of loyalty and serv-ice
to the University and its Alumni. During the past sixty
years it has grown from a few local Alumni to a world-wide
organization of 30,000 members living in each of the forty-nine
states and in many foreign countries.
The Alumni Fund, inaugurated twelve years ago, has
provided $1,353,154 for needs of the University.
The Association's contributions to higher education have
been equally important. Alumni clubs provide scholarships
to deserving students in their areas. The annual Tulane Con-ferences,
presented by the Association and Alumni clubs,
bring to many Southern cities programs in the specialized
fields of science, the humanities, law. medicine, engineering,
social work, etc.
Much of the growth and success of the Association can
be attributed to the organizational leadership of the presi-dents
and secretaries (directors) who have guided Alumni
activities through the years.

Each year it is the pleasant task of the Jambalaya staff to
select sixteen finalists from among the many girls nom-inated
for the Jambalaya Beauty Court. These sixteen girls
are then presented to the University, and Miss Pauline Tu-lane
and her Beauty Court are chosen by majority vote.
Any girl who is regularlv enrolled at Newconih or Tulane
may be nominated to appear at the Beauty Court Tea, ex-cepting
Freshmen and those who have served in previous
Courts. The Jambalaya staff is very proud of both the finalists
and the 1959 Jambalaya Beauty Court.
There are several girls in school this year who have
served in past Jambalaya Beauty Courts. They are: Lee
Andry, Barbara Burdin. and Virginia Jones.

THE 1958 HOMECOMING
Queen Pat and President Tom McCay
prepare for the presentation.
MISS PAT VAN SCOY
Tulane's 1958 Homecoming Queen
Excitement ran high during the
days preceding Tulane's 1958
Homecoming. Pep rallies, antici-pation
over meeting Ole Miss on
the field, preparations for decora-tions,
plans for parties, and the
announcement that Pat Van Scoy
would reign at the Homecoming
Game and Dance as 1958 Home-coming
Queen all contributed to
the high spirits even before the
week-end began. The student body
was extremely proud of the out-come
of the Homecoming Court
election. Pat and the members of
her Court—Emily Andry, Barbara
Burdin, Barbara Hammond, Kay
Hecker, Sarah Quinn, and Sandra
Shainock—had a special share in
the general excitement.
The returning alumni were first
welcomed at the Alumni Dance on
Friday night at which the Queen
and Court were presented to them
and on Saturday by the lavish dec-orations
constructed by the frater-nities,
sororities, and dormitories.
Many grads visited their old frat
houses where they enjoyed the
"blasts" which lasted almost until
game time.
The Homecoming Game, played
under the lights for the second
year, was a close one. The ex-citement
of the game and the pag-eantry
of the half-time ceremony
had everyone in the mood for fun
when the annual Homecoming
Dance sponsored by Lagniappes
began at the Municipal Audito-rium.
Queen Pat presided over the
gala event, and it is safe to say
that '"a good time was had by all."

Students from approximately 600 colleges and universi-ties
are nominated and recognized in Who's Who each year.
Campus nominating committees are instructed, in making
their decisions, to consider the student's scholarship: his
cooperation in leadership in academic and extra-curricular
activities; his service and citizenship to the schools; and
his promise of future usefulness. Recognition by Who's.
Who means that the student was first officially recommended
from the university or college he attends and then accepted
by the organization. These are the Tulane students who
have been selected for Who's Who this year.

PUBLICATIONS
The 1959 JAMBALAYA staff is proud, happy, and must
relieved to be able to present to you the culmination of a
year's efforts. The work necessary to publish a modern col-lege
yearbook is beyond the comprehension of the unitiated.
Plans, designs, and layouts are made early in the summer,
and when school begins the staff must plod on day after day
and month after month with no apparent results—a condi-tion
itself which often hinders work, for apathy and bore-dom
can quickly replace interest and drive when countless
hours produce no immediate tangible rewards.
It is the people whose names and pictures appear on these
pages who have maintained, their interest and hard work
and who are mainly responsible for this yearbook. They
have sacrificed many leisure and study hours to type copy,
file pictures, write captions, and deal with the tremendous
amount of frequently tedious and repetitious material, know-ing
the finished product would come only in the distant fu-ture.
It is they who have participated in the roundtable
discussing and/or cussing of new layouts, punctuation of
sentences, copy style, selection of pictures, and headlining
of insignificant pictures—often with the depressing realiza-tion
that their work would go unnoticed for the most part
by casual readers. They have also suffered the frayed temper
and brow-beating of the Editor as the deadline for their
sections fell due.
However, it has not been all pain for those that managed
to climb the stairs to the little green attic garret nearly
every day. Along with the work, there was a lot of fun and
many laughs. Everyone took part in the favorite staff game
of "cut and slash," the object of which was to undermine
the ego of anyone present—especially the Editor. Also re-membered
will be the long joke sessions, the innumerable
Cokes and cigarettes consumed, the office love affairs that
bloomed and died, and the infamous night work sessions.
Appreciation is expressed to all those who helped who for
some reason are not listed here, to the fine photographic
staff who managed to make most of their appointments on
time, and to Mr. Dan Eadie of Benson Printing Company
whose personal guidance and "brink of disaster" letters
pulled the Jamb through.

More pages and a lower advertising lineage gave the
1958-1959 Hullabaloo a chance to make several additions to
the fact-filled news sheet it was in the past. New columns
were introduced, more features and pictures were used,
and Sports Editor Craig Forshner found that he had almost
twice as much space to fill whether he had twice as much
to write about or not.
Although confusion and chaos reigned supreme with
"It'U-all-work-out-all-right"' Adams at the helm, friction re-mained
at an all-time low. thanks to clear-headed, fast-thinking
Managing Editor Max McCombs.
Visitors to the office were amazed at how the paper ever
got published at all. let alone on time every week. But.
thanks to conscientious Tuesday night workers, patient
printers, and Feature Editor Steve Goldware s realization
that if he didn't meet his deadline he wouldn't get paid, the
paper never quite failed.
The editorial page did its usual share of griping and
moralizing and called for such changes as a Dead Week
and the abolishment of the cut system. Sharp-tongued, sar-castic
Clyde Buzzard never shied from controversv and
was well-read if not well-loved by the Administration.

CARNIVAL
CARNIVAL is a creative writing and general in-terest
magazine published quarterly by students.
Once a part of the Glendy Burke Society and de-voted
exclusively to creative writing, CARNIVAL
underwent complete reorganization and now stands
as an independent publication and organization. The
aim of the new CARNIVAL is to provide an outlet,
not only for the creative writers on campus, but for
those interested in photography, magazine art and
layout, sports and fashion writing, in short, all of
the varied journalistic, editorial, or creative aspects
involved in publishing a magazine. It is designed
to appeal to as broad a segment of the student body

LAW REVIEW
The TULANE LAW REVIEW, a professional
legal journal published in quarterly issues, is the
oldest journal of its kind in Louisiana. It is pub-lished
by the students and faculty of the School of
Law and emphasizes the study of comparative law.
The REVIEW contains scholarly articles by lead-ing
members of the legal profession and a student
section, prepared by members of the Student Board
of Editors, which deals with current legal problems.

The Tulane Interfaith Council is the official channel of com-munication
between the various religious organizations and
the University. Composed of two representatives and an
adviser from each religious organization on campus, it is de-signed
to carry out certain functions for the benefit of these
groups and the University. It has proven to be the place for
the exchange of practical ideas and experiences in such areas
as provision of accurate, adequate news coverage of the activ-ities
of the various groups in the Hullabaloo and other papers;
facilitation of cooperative endeavors of adult advisers and
youth leaders in planning joint religious programs, including
the Fall Orientation program and religious dorm discussions;
and the provision of denominational preference cards.

ARMY R. O. T. C.
The Reserve Officers Training Corps of the United States
Army exists for the purpose of developing officers—leaders
of men. It offers a course of instruction leading to a com-mission
as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve
or a Regular Army commission to those who can qualify.
The young college student can prepare now, during his
academic days, through ROTC training, to utilize the mil-itary
service as a means of self-development and to integrate
its requirements into his future.
Support of our nation's Reserve Forces is a basic require-ment
of good citizenship. Thus, the ROTC offers an oppor-tunity
to make one's military service a more substantial con-tribution
to our security. To some it provides entree to a
distinguished life-time career of service to the nation. In
both cases, America benefits from the service of young men
training in our eminent system of higher education.
The ROTC curriculum offers subjects common to all
branches of the Army including psychology of leadership,
personnel management. Army administration, American
military history, map and aerial photograph reading, mil-itary
operations and logistics, teaching methods, weapons
and their employment, and command and staff proceedures.
In addition, the curriculum of the Army ROTC unit at
Tulane offers training and transportation subjects which
prepare the students for a commission in the Transportation
Corps.
There are various national military societies represented
on the campus whose active members are selected from
ROTC students, such as The Pershing Rifles founded in
1891 and Scabbard and Blade originally organized in 1905.
At Tulane the Annual Military Ball is one of the outstanding
campus social events of the year. The ROTC Rifle Team
participates annually for the William Randolph Hearst Tro-phy
and other awards. Many awards to outstanding ROTC
cadets are offered by various military and civic organiza-tions,
as well as by interested individuals.

CAPTAIN R. V. GREGORY
Commander of the NROTC Unit
This year the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit
celebrated its twentieth anniversary on the Tulane campus.
Under the direction of Captain R. V. Gregory, the unit
once again pursued its mission of supplementing the United
States Naval Academy in providing officers for service in
the Navy and the Marine Corps.
The NROTC students are enrolled under one of two pro-grams,
either the Regular or the Contract Program. The
Regular Program received candidates from a national exam-ination
conducted on a competitive basis in each state. Upon
receipt of an academic degree, the Regular midshipmen are
commissioned, and enter upon a four-year tour of active
duty.
The Contract Program receives qualified students who
enter into mutual contract with the Navy Department. These
students are selected by the Unit Commanding Officer from
those who apply in their freshman year. Contract midship-men
serve as commissioned officers on active duty for two
years, upon completion of their university curriculum and
acquisition of their degree.
Academic training for both Regular and Contract mid-shipmen
is supplemented by summer training cruises aboard
Navy ships, and by training at Naval Bases or Marine Corps
schools.
The NROTC Unit sponsors many activities each year, in-cluding
several military organizations and social events. The
Navy, participating in all areas of intramural athletics, has
proven to be a perennial contender for the intramural cham-pionship.
The blue-shirted "middies" are familiar sights
when tournament finals are played.

AIR FORCE R. O. T. C.
The Air Force ROTC Cadet of 1959 has a serious mission,
and not an easy one. Starting with the Basic Course, consist-ing
of the Freshman and Sophomore years, he receives four
years of mihtary training in preparation for his future role
as a USAF Officer dedicated to the defense of his country.
The Basic Course introduces the Cadet to the elements of
Aerial Warfare, and acquaints him with his mission as a
member of the Air Force and as a citizen of the Air Age.
At the end of the Sophomore year, those Cadets who have
shown a serious and mature interest in the program and
those who have best qualified academically and physically
are admitted into the Advanced Course.
The Advanced Course completes the job of producing a
capable officer started in the first two years. The Advanced
Cadet receives more intense academic instruction and holds
a command position on the Drill Field and in the Detach-ment
itself, running the machinery of the Group under the
supervision of the Commissioned Officers.
To round out their military education, the men of the
Advanced Program undergo training at an Air Base during
the summer separating the last two years of school.
However, despite the serious nature of the program, there
are many light moments during the year, social and athletic
events in which both Basic and Advanced Cadets participate
plus a number of official activities which often turn out to
be as enjoyable as they are educational.
Several Cadets distinguished themselves this year, six be-ing
initiated into Scabbard and Blade, national ROTC Honor
Society, and two more were selected for membership in
Omicron Delta Kappa. National Leadership Fraternity.
Detachment 320 has been under the command of Col.
Charles Sommers since 1954 and from that time to the
present has enjoyed progressive achievement. It is with
regret that this detachment says goodbye to Col. Sommers,
who retires in July after a varied and successful career
in the Air Force.

1958
Richie Petitbon. Tulane Green Wave's 200 pound. 6-4
quarterback, first earned recognition as a top flight ball
player after pushing the Greenies to a startling 14 to 6 up-set
over the United States Naval Academy midway in the
1958 football season.
After that thrilling ball game, Petty was named the "Back
of the Week" by the United Press International and "Co-
Back of the Week" by the Associated Press. He also received
the Sports Illustrated National Back of the Week Award
after his brilliant play against the Middies.
Petitbon's final statistics are the highest achieved by a
Tulane football player since AU-American Eddie Price
played in the Sugar Bowl Stadium. Richie finished third in
the SEC in total offense with 943 yards. His passing was
tops in the conference, completing 66 out of 125 passes for
3 TD's and 728 yards. Richie gained 213 yards rushing to
complete his offensive record. Not shown in the statistics, but
easily seen in the game, was his outstanding defensive work.
Petitbon played both offensive and defensive this year and
excelled in both.
He ended the year making First Team Quarterback on the
UPI All SEC Team and Second Team Quarterback on the
AP All SEC Team. He was the second round draft choice
of the Chicago Bears of the National Football League where
he will be used mainly as a defensive halfback.

FOOTBALL
The Green Wave completed their 1958 season with a 3-7
record. However, this record cannot possibly include all of
the superb performances of individual players, the many
anxious moments of a game, the heartbreak of losses, and
the feelings of Tulane's loyal rooters.
In Tulane's opener, first game jitters and inexperience
played a major role in the 34-14 loss to Florida. However,
the revitalized Wave outplayed the Gators the entire second
half.
The Texas game was a heartbreaker. The Wave played
excellently, but the Texans always managed to keep one
step ahead: Final score 21-20.
A couple of breaks equalized Tulanes outstanding de-fensive
play and Georgia Tech, availing itself of these op-portunities,
defeated the Greenies 14-0.
Ole Miss proved too powerful to contain in the second
half, and Tulanes undermanned team again went down
fighting to the tune of 19-8.
A bright spot in an otherwise gloomy season was the
Navy upset. It proved that Tulane could rise to the occasion
on any given Saturday and handle any first rate college
team in the country.
Fresh from the Navy win. the overconfident Greenies ran
into a surprising offense and an air tight defense. They
bowed to the Kansas Jayhawkers 14-9.
Tulane, bouncing back from the Kansas defeat, rode rough
shod over Texas Tech the following week: Final score 27-0.
The Wave continued on their winning ways as they
downed a tough Alabama eleven in a desperately fought
game 13-7.
Vandy, however, put an end to Tulane's short lived suc-cess
as the Commodores ripped the game wide open in the
fourth quarter with an intercepted Tulane forward pitchout.
In Tulane's final game, they were completely outgunned
and outmanned by their arch rivals from Baton Rouge. The
Wave played a superb first half, but lack of reserves finally
took its toll.
The Green Wave was strongest in the backfield where
players like Richie Petitbon, "Boo" Mason, Connie Andrews.
Percy Colon and Eddie Dunn proved they could do the job.
Up front in the line the Wave was bolstered by experienced
players in Pete Abadie, Leo Young, Jimmy Blount, John
DiVietro, Neal Jones. Don Lockwood, Bill Clements and Dan
Egan, plus newcomers Pat McLean, Joe LeSage, Bernard
Darre, and Bill Brabham.
Graduation will bring few losses to the Wave and with so
many experienced lettermen returning and several top pros-pects
from the frosh expected to fill key positions, Tulane
can well look forward to a bright football future. HEAD COACH ANDY PILNEY

14 TULANE . FLORIDA 34
The Tulane Green Wave, unable to recover from a dam-aging
first half, dropped the season's opener to the Florida
Gators 34-14. First game jitters and inexperience played a
big role in the game's first half as the veteran Gators pushed
over three touchdowns. The Greenies showed very little on
oifense. Their two touchdowns came in the fourth quarter
following a series of passes by Carlton Sweeney and Phil
Nugent. Tulane tried 41 passes and completed 20 for 191
yards. Tulane scored their first touchdown as the fourth
quarter opened after being contained for three periods by
Florida's strong defensive line. Carlton Sweeney threw an in-tended
pass for Leo Young, but there was a penalty for in-terference
and the ball was placed on the Florida 3. Tommy
Mason fumbled as he drove to the Florida goal line and
Percv Colon fell on the ball in the end zone for the Tulane
touchdown. The Wave's final score came on a series of Nu-gent
passes. The speedv little quarterback passed to \oung
for 18 yards and a first down on the Gator 17. A Nugent
aerial to "Boo" Mason moved the ball to the Florida 5 and
another first down. Nugent then hit Abadie for the TD.

Though losing 21-20. Tulane gave its supporters many
thrilling moments up to the final seconds when the Greenies
sailed through the air nearly 80 yards for their last touch-down
and Carlton Sweeney scooted around end for the two
points. The game was a thrilling offensive contest. In the
first half, hard running, Petitbon's splendid pitching, and
pass patterns which left Tulane receivers in the clear time
and again, carried the Greenies to a score of 7-6 at half time.
The Wave outgained the Longhorns in all phases, but finally
that old malady, "fumble-itis," sank Tulane. The Wave ground
out 204 net yards to Texas' 201. and in the air Tulane passed
for 172 yards as opposed to the Longhorns' 36. Shining for
the Greenwave in the line were Phil Heffington at left end,

Jones at center. Leo Young and George McLean at righf

Tulane bowed to an aggressive Georgia Tech team before

they made the most of them. Despite the loss. Tulane played
exceptionally fine ball on defense and particularlv on a goal
line stand in the closing minute of the contest. They stopped
a 65 yard Tech march by holding them for 4 downs from
the 1 yard line. The Greenies moved the ball well, but they
couldn't keep a drive going. Tech failed to score a
third time on two diiferent occasions because of Tulane's
strong line play. The Yellow Jackets worked the ball down
to the Wave 5. but they failed to go over for the score. With
one minute left to play, the Tech men were again knocking
on Tulane's back door. The Yellow Jackets put on a drive
that carried them to the Tulane 1 yard marker, where the
Greenies put on a brilliant goal line stand to prevent a touch-down.
Tulane's line play was outstanding. Dan Egan was the
defensive star for the Greenies. Other defensive stalwarts
were Don Lockwood. Billy Clements. John DiVietro, Jimmy
Blount. Neal Jones, and Dave Painter.

An anxious moment
A spirited Tulane eleven put up a gallant fight, but the
Rebels proved too powerful to contain, and the Wave went
down, 19-8. The game featured electrifying play by both
teams, but it was Richie Petitbon, Tulane quarterback, who
made the most spectacular run. He took a Rebel kickoif late
in the fourth quarter and sprinted 75 yards, eluding every
Ole Miss defender, before stumbling on the Mississippi 14.
The second-round draft choice of the Chicago Bears played
his finest game since coming to Tulane. He scored the Wave's
only touchdown on a quarterback sneak, and it was his ex-ceptionally
good passing that put the team in a scoring
position. Spiro Cosse, who made his first start as a Tulane
linebacker, led the Greenies in tackles with 6 solos and 4
assists. He was followed by Billy Clements, who had 6 and
3 assists. However, the whole Tulane line again put on their
usual good show. Petitbon completed 10 passes out of 18
tries for 9.5 yards. The Ole Miss defense was too much for
Tulane's running attack, and Tom McClellan. the Wave's
best gainer, rushed for only 27 yards.

Playing their finest game of the 1958 season and mixing
a strong running game with Hmited passes. Tulane sank the
favored Navy eleven, 14-6, in the colorful Oyster Bowl Clas-sic.
With Richie Petitbon playing his best game, particularly
in the running department, the Greenies made two touch-down
marches, the first covering 83 yards and the second
netting 66. Petitbon scored both touchdowns, and on the
strength of his play- both on offense and defense, was voted
the outstanding player. Tulane on the ground outgained the
"Middies" 214 yards to 79. The Greenies tried only 5 passes,
completing 2 for 24 yards. Navy tried 24 passes, completing 14
for 165 yards. Head mentor. Andy Pilney, was well pleased
with the Greenies' fine showing. He praised Petitbon for his
selection of plays, and gave much credit to Tom McClellan,
Percy Colon, and "Boo" Mason for their performances. The
Tulane line also played well. Bill Clements being the stand-out.
Dan Egan played one of his better games while Billy
Brabham, among the newcomers, was outstanding on de-fense.

Colon and Young halt Jayhawker after short gain
Tulane's Greenies ran into a buzz-saw defense coupled
with a surprisingly strong offense, and. despite desperate
running and passing attempts, found their ears pinned back
by the Kansas Jayhawkers, 14-9. Tulane, plagued by fum-bles,
penalties, and intercepted passes couldn't penetrate
the stone wall built around them by the determined men from
the plains of Kansas. The alertness and brilliant running of
the "Hawkers' " star quarterback, Bill Crank, kept the Wave
guessing on every play. The inspired Jayhawkers deserved
their victory in every sense of the word. First downs were
equal. 12 to 12. Kansas outrushed Tulane 171 yards to 112,
and though Tulane outpassed the enemy. 130 to 65. the 96
yards gained from pass interceptions by Kansas left its mark.
Kansas was laying for Petitbon, who found his every move
anticipated. He picked up 18 yards in 9 carries and com-pleted
6 passes out of 17, for short gains. Nugent, playing
one of his better games of the season, completed 4 passes
out of 7 for 64 yards, and Tom McClellan led the Wave
rushing with 53 yards in 14 attempts.
