THE AMBALAYA of tulane
*Jvrii.i;'
INTRODUCTION
•"t^^^
The American University today embodies no central
core, no soaring spirit. Whatever dominant symbol the historian of the future may select must
be artificially super-iniposed on the reality he cannot recapture. This does not imply a lack of the in-teresting
or worthwhile, but simply the absence of any magnetic essence.
Certainly our classes and assignments are not the focus. And not the athletics; here, now. No shared
goals, ideals, or dorm life embrace the student body.
This need not Ije condemnation. Viewed in terms of the diversity and diffusion of our era, a hodge-podge
or grab-tlie-brass-ring sort of education may l)e fundamentally sound. With the worship of sta-tistical
success, perliaps only the representative is to l)e desired. And this could justify the campus
•'•*!;?u,-;i,-;-rfc7',.-,..
leadership of the mediocre, the pusher and the pushed.
Yearbooks traditionally are ra-ra and sugar sweet. But this too is a distortion, so the
Jamb is composed of recurring motifs rather than one theme. Limited by our budget and the
powers that be, confined by our photographic resources
and our own imagination, we have rather
attempted to suggest some contrasting facets of
Tulane. Such a product to be meaningful must be
enriched by the attendant memories of each reader.

OUR UNIVERSITY
Mentor of the basketball team that has brought Tulane's
most enthusiastic throngs, Coach ClifE Wells has
amazingly improved the squad during his nine years in New
Orleans. Before his advent Greenie basketball was dismal,
showing the poorest record in the mediocre S.E.C.
Coach Wells has brought Tulane the most improved team in
the South, without adopting the victory-at-any-cost
attiude of many coaches.
DEDICATION
Spectator sports are always in the limelight. Results show an
external manner impossible to most facets of the modern
university. With none of the superficial braggadocio
of the huckster, Coach has been one of our most valuable
public relations men throughout the country. Showing
his resourcefulness, quiet integrity, and technical skill, Coach
Wells has performed his job in a manner to inspire the
spirit of Tulane students and alumni.
The chief purpose of educational institutions, in spite of the increased
enrollments and the demands of research, is attention to
the individual student. Tulane constantly seeks to strengthen its work
in support of this principle. More residence halls are
being constructed in order to enable more out-of-town students to live
on the campus. Counseling services have been developed
A MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT
within the residence halls and centralized in a Guidance Office at the
Student Center. Moreover, recreational and cultural programs
are being expanded in significant ways. I hope this Jambalaya may
portray the variety of services and activities which make the
life of the Tulane student rich in experience.

The School was organized in September of 1834 as the Medi-cal
College of Louisiana, the first medical college in the Deep
South or Southwest.
The School of Medicine offers the usual four-year program
leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Through its Division
of Graduate Medicine the School also offers programs leading to
the degrees of Master of Medical Science; Master of Public
Health; Master of Pu])lic Health (Tropical Medicine); and
Doctor of Public Health. A number of short courses and non-degree
programs of varying length are conducted in the different
specialties.

The primary objective of the College is to train students for
the practice of law in Louisiana, but this is by no means its
only objective. It is of advantage to all that the College remain
purposely prepared to train students from any part of the United
States and from any of the Latin American countries, and that
the student body always include a substantial number of repre-sentatives
of these last two groups. The unique legal history of
Louisiana, combined with the geographical position and Latin
culture of New Orleans, makes it particularly appropriate that the
College should attract and serve a diversity of groups with a
diversity of legal programs.

In 1886, Mrs. Josephine Louise Newcomb established New-comb
College as a memorial to her only daughter. This was the
first woman's college to function within the framework of a uni-versity,
a concept unique in the academic world at that time al-though
it has been copied in many institutions since. Because of
Mrs. Newcomb's wisdom and foresight, thousands of young women
have known the educational benefits of such an arrangement. On
their own campus they have had a full curriculum of Liberal
Arts. Music, and Fine Arts, a faculty keenly interested in them
as individuals, and their own self-government; whereas their as-sociation
with the university has provided those manifold academic
and social opportunities which blended to make their college
career a memorable one. And set as it is within the cultural milieu
of New Orleans, Newcomb is thus traditionally rich in its capac-ity
to offer a truly liberal education.

The purpose of the College is to assure every student an op-portunity
to receive a sound general education as well as a proper
basis for specialization in future activities. It is expected that
some students will wish to prepare themselves for entrance into
graduate or professional schools. Others will terminate their
formal education with the undergraduate degree and achieve
in a working situation whatever additional skills and knowledge
they may require for success. In any case, the College offers its
students preparation for positions of leadership and trust in their
communities.

The School of Architecture is primarily concerned with and
dedicated to the development of a living and vigorous native
architecture for the southern region.
The school in its teaching recognizes the dangers inherent
in an era of science and invention where there preoccupation with
the machine and the mechanical devices available for building
construction. We stress therefore the larger responsibility of
architecture, the creation of a satisfacory environment for human
beings. It naturally follows that the smallest complete unit is the
community, and in the larger sense the entire world.
In the larger sense we seek to integrate the archhect as a
social human being, a good citizen of his environment large or
small. Though first aims are for the south we feel that the student
should be equipped to adapt their word to any region.

COLLEGE
University College, evening and part-time division of the
University, derives its name from the fact that it offers courses
selected from the various fields of the arts, sciences and business
administration as represented in various colleges of the Univer-sity.
Although it is primarily an evening division of the Univer-sity,
many of its students take day courses as well. The faculty
includes some who teach full time in University College; some
members selected from the regular teaching staff of the other
Colleges of the University, and special lecturers who are recog-nized
authorities in their fields.
DEAN JOHN DYER
SUMMER
SCHOOL
Students enrolled in any Colleges of Tulane University or else-where
may find in the Summer School an opportunity to schedule
work which could not conveniently be fitted into their regular
programs; to supplement their programs with courses of par-ticular
personal interest ; to make up deficiencies or prerequisites
;
or to reduce the length of time required to qualify for a degree.
Courses offered in the Summer School may be applied toward
degrees in the undergraduate Schools and Colleges as well as
the Graduate Schools. They may likewise be credited toward
entrance requirements of the School of Medicine and the College
of Law.

The Newcomb Alumnae Association composed of all gradu-ates
and former students, is a means of channeling loyalties to
Newcomb. Its office is housed in the Tulane Alumni House where
files and pertinent information are kept. Made up of a national
group of officers and clubs located in leading cities in the United
States, its activities include thousands of women and cover a
wide range of interests.
Its two national meetings yearly are held, one at Homecoming
and the other at Commencement time. Its purpose is to fill col-lege
needs when they arise, to foster alumnae activities, and to
serve as a tie between future, present, and past students and the
college faculty and administrators.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Tulane Alumni Association was organized in
1898 devoted to the broad principles of devotion and
service to Tulane University. Since then Tulane alumni
have taken an active part in the progress of one of the
South's oldest and greatest educational institutions.
Through the Alumni Association the University main-tains
contacts with graduates and former students. The
Tulanian, alumni magazine, is sent free of charge to all
alumni.
Active Tulane alumni clubs exist in many parts of
the world. Each year the Association sponsors Home-coming,
a celebration which hrings graduates back to
the campus for reunions and other activities.
The Tulane Alumni Fund, organized eight years
ago by the alumni themselves, is conducted by Class
Agents, Area Representatives and other alumni. The
Fund has increased each year both in numbers of con-tributors
and money contributed. It has become a strong
financial support of the University and has been an-other
means of nurturing alumni interest.
The headquarters of the Association are located at
6319 Willow St. in the new Alumni House. The Alumni
House is constantly used as a gathering place for alumni
and other University groups.

THE
STUDENT
COUNCIL
PRESIDENT HAINON MILLER
Student government is among the most valuable system a student
body can possess. Each individual college has its body of officers, and
the various presidents, plus three officers elected by the student body,
form a Tulane University Student Council. The governments of the
colleges are thus unified, and work toward the common good of all
the students. As such a representative group, the Student Council
realizes its responsibility and aims high for the best in mature student
aovernment.

There are, of course, many routine, Ijut import-ant
matters which the council handles, such as all
student body elections, the United Fund Drive,
budgetary problems, and investigating student ac-tivities.
And there are larger problems. This year, the
council has worked with a committee of university
officials in attempting to solve the growing parking
problem on the campus. The Book Store Commit-tee
has worked toward a more practicable book-store
system.
Each year the Student Council selects ten stu-dents
who have been outstanding in their work
toward a better university, and the recipients of
Student Activity Keys are representative of the
most outstanding students at the University.
As time passes, the needs of the student body
change. In accordance this year the student council
has revised the constitution.

New Orleans (TU)—"Tulane journalists are saying more
nowadays—and being heard," Dr. Ima Critic said here yesterday.
Dr. Critic said this development has made itself most signifi-cantly
felt in The Hullabaloo, campus newspaper.
Speaking before a student group, Dr. Critic said that never
before had the paper aired such controversial material.
"Students, faculty, and administration all came in for their
share of comment, praise, and—yes—even criticism." Dr. Critic
said.
"And not only has The Hullabaloo raised questions, it has
initiated action," he noted.
"From early prodding on cockroaches that allegedly roamed
the halls of the McAlister dorms to a detailed report on a pro-posed
student activities budget
—
The Hullabaloo has given this
year's Tulane students on-the-spot news coverage and significant
comment and criticism.
"Hullabaloo comment even secured hooks for the men's room
of the History Building," Dr. Critic added.
S. C. Member, another guest speaker, said he was struck, and
sometimes shaken, by the increased political awareness shown by
this year's paper.
Cozy?
Sweet '?
He said that it not only covered campus
politics, it went on to debate the worth of
such national figures as Senator Joseph
R. McCarthy.
He said The Hullabaloo showed new in-itiative
in editorially supporting Tulane
faculty member Dr. Leon D. Hubert for
New Orleans District Attorney. Adding
that the Hullabaloo was to be compliment-ed
for the study it gave to Hubert's record
before supporting him—and for support-ing
him on the basis of his record and
qualifications ,not merely as a Tulane fac-ulty
member.
Member noted that other Hullabaloo
"firsts" this year included such efforts at
improved race relations as a feature story
and picture of a Tulane janitor who had
worked toward an M.A. during his sum-mers.
"A race relations editorial in The Hul-labaloo
brought widespread praise from
students, faculty members, and civic mind-ed
groups throughout New Orleans and
nation. " he said.
Note: Jamb policy itllows groups to ivrite
their oun copy. This article mas written by
the Hullabaloo, and represents his views.
HULLABALOO
Play and Work
"A Hullabaloo exchange of views with the Student
Council on the threat of newspaper censorship at Tu-lane
received nationwide recognition with top play in
the Associated Collegiate Press bulletin—and received
letters of support from interested alumni as far north
as Michigan."
"At times it praised what it deemed worthy adminis-tration
actions," he said, "but when a University Senate
committee referred a petitioning campus political organ-ization
back to the council partly because it was 'too
partisan,' The Hullabaloo expressed its disapproval.
"Meanwhile The Hullabaloo sports staff was not nap-ping."
"Sports editor Jimmy Cox censored the Citadel team
as a Greenie football foe." He commented on what he
considered an incorrect stand by a downtown columnist
on football referees—and top Hulla sports scribe Bob
Kriebel scooped the downtown dailies with his explana-tion

Kriebel later became sports editor when the press

"And The Hullabaloo covered the lighter side of the
campus news too!"
"A Freshman coed perched on a lap and guzzled milk
out of a baby bottle on one front page, and on another
two girls from Europe gave their opinions on American
males—'baby-faced'."
"The Engineering Eagles found their 'Blarney Stone'
uprooted—they put it back. Then the Commerce Kings
hid it behind Norman Mayer Memorial. The Engineers
took it home and anchored it in concrete, connecting it
with cables to underground pipes."
"Bookie operations were bared at Newcomb ( New-comb
Handbook, that is), and a Hulla columnist was
"killed" for a week."
"Meanwhile cartoonist Ronnie Kraemer, Murgatroyd,
and a half-wit character named Spiffy Magee satirized
and commented upon student life from their fortresses
on the editorial page."
"The column rules, precise make-up, more numerous
pictures, and larger headlines gave this year's Hullabaloo
a livelier appearance." Member said.
"But The Hullabaloo's 'new look' was more than typo-graphical—
it was toward a closer study of basic issues
in an effort to provoke deeper student-faculty thought
rather than mere surface controversy."

TULANE-NEWCOMB OPERA WORKSHOP
The Opera Workshop was started in the spring of 1953 to provide stu-dents
with an opportunity to perform in various phases of opera and lighter
music presentations. The initial performance was Vaughan Williams' Riders
to the Sea and Menotti's The Telephone, both chamber operas. The early fall
program of 1953 was An Evening oj Scenes from. Grand Opera including
scenes from // Trovatore, La Traviata, The Consul, Madame Butterfly, Cosi
fan tutte. Hansel and Gretel, and Don Giovanni. The big production in De-cember
was Offenbach's comic opera, La Vie Parisienne.
For the chamber operas and scenes, basic sets and costumes along with
accented lighting are used. The acting areas are set off by neutral screens
suggesting walls, doors, windows and space rather than realistic or stylistic
suggestion. The lighting is used to create the mood and environment of the
dramatic situation along with the basic costume of the period.
The members of the Workshop are from all departments of the University.
All members are introduced to the many and varied problems of backstage
work, making and setting up scenery, problems of lighting, designing and
making costumes, etc.
This Spring the Opera Workshop in conjunction with the A capella Choir
presented a Cantata-Opera program including Schutz, Seven Last Words
of Christ, Buxtehude, Jesu, Joy and Treasure, and Hindemith, In Praise of
Music, and a stage version of Debussy's L'Enfant Prodigue.
The Workshop is directed by Cardon Burnham, Director of Choral Ac-tivities.
All productions are given in Dixon Hall on the Newcomb Campus.

R.O.T.C.
No Time for Teetotalers
"The building with the gun out front," home of the Tulane Navy
R.O.T.C. Unit, has undergone considerable change this year.
Basically we refer to the "face lifting" campaign of the main deck,
office, and lounge spaces. It is here where the midshipmen clean
their rifles as well as relax, initial "infraction" reports or feel a
sense of pride after reading their names on the "merit" list, re-ceive
the good news of coming social events or reminders of an
overdue bill for the last one, are exposed to all that can possibly
be heaved at them pertaining to the whats, whys, and hows that
exist between the stems and sterns of our Navy's ships, and every
Winter and Summer
Friday at 1050 sharp hear the voice of the "Sarge"
yelling, "Allright let's clear out of here," as they
are prompted into ranks for drill.
In conjunction with the "face lifting" of the
building a "face changing" of the personnel as
exists on every ship and station, every year has
taken place. The Professor of Naval Science, sev-eral
of the officers and enlisted instructors, and
ninety-six freshmen effected this change. This in-sures
a continuous run of new ideas and new per-sonalities,
and starts the chain of service friendship
that is insurance to the prospective officer that
wherever he is ordered he will undoubtedly have a
friend or a friend's friend there to serve with.
The mission of the unit has not changed, how-ever.
To train men to be officers—Regular or Re-serve,
line or supply, or even marine!—is the goal.

Under the direction of Colonel Byron B. Webb the mission of

qualities of leadership and other attributes essential to the stu-dent's
progressive advancement leading to a commission in the
United States Air Force Reserve, and to prepare him for further
flying, technical and specialized training upon his entrance into
active duty, assignment to an Air Reserve or Air National Guard

These courses consist of general military

essentials for an Air Force Officer. A second phase,
that of summer camp, consists of four weeks at an
active Air Force Base between the cadets junior
and senior year. The primary purpose of summer
camp is to give each cadet a well-rounded indoc-trination
of a typical base in operation. During
the past, summer camp training for most Tulane
cadets was held at four Texas bases. Cadets were
able to observe operational, maintenance, com-munications,
administrative, training and recrea-tional
activities, in fact, all phases of operation
necessary for the base to accomplish its mission.

TULANE'S 1953 FOOTBALL SEASON
Any summation of the 1953 football season must
literally be a post mortem. In September. Greenie en-thusiasts
confidently expected to improve upon the even
split of '52. Hopes were high to justify our role as SEC
dark-horse and several forecasts placed the Wave in
the nation's Top Twenty-Five.
Heralded as the South's best brace of backs, the vet-erans
seemed to have a very solid first string line to
operate behind. But the opening weeks, with road games
against strong elevens in Athens and Ann Arbor, fol-lowed
immediately by the two 1953 Sugar Bowl teams,
proved an insurmountable hurdle; from which the team
could never—physically or morale-wise—completely re-vive.
Ironically, few before the season would dream of
satisfaction — much less the superb showing — arising
from our scoreless deadlock with Army. Our one con-ference
leader—McGee in kickoff return yardage—was
tawdry consolation, stemming directly from our defen-sive
weaknesses.
Yet fine showings were turned in against Army, Georgia
Tech, and in the first half at LSU. The play of Robelot,
Kennedy, Weidenbacher, Burnthorne, and Sardisco was
outstanding—when they were physically in one piece.

End of line
GREENIES
CLOBBER CADETS
Tulane's Greenies opened the 1953 season by breezing past
the Citadel 54-6. For the first time since the war, a game was
scheduled before classes began—and it was the first opening
game breather for a Tulane eleven since the 44-0 shellacking
of VMI in 1935. These conditions combined with the tepid
weather to keep the crowd below 18.000 although the Wave
would not play again in New Orleans for three weeks.
Never noted for impressive showings against minor opposition.
Tulane's ordinary exhibit compared well with those of other
Southeastern Conference teams in opening games—especially
after Mississippi Southern's stunner over Alabama, ultimate
loop champions.
Featuring scintillating long runs by Max McGee. Ronnie
Kent. Ray Hymel. and Tommy Warner, the Greenies showed a
well-coordinated regular team, and a promising group of fresh-men.
The massive total of 432 yards on 41 rushing plays set the
tone of the uneven contest.
After being briefly halted. Tulane reeled off three TD's in the
initial period. Bubsie Partridge sliced over from the four to
draw first blood in the embryo season. Then, in quick succession,
Kent raced 44 yards to tally, and McGee angled off tackle and
outran the Cadet secondary for 75 yards.
Hymel opened the second quarter by dashing 54 yards on a
pitchout and the tone for a merry romp seemed set. But the Wave
swiftly cooled off on offense and loosened up defensively. The
Citadel marched 68 yards. Quarterback Wofford Williams
sneaked over after hitting a wide-upon receiver on the 1-foot
line.
In the third quarter, McGee scored from the 5 and on a 57
yard Clement pass. The last period saw Warner scamper 58 yards
to score and another freshman Willie Hof, sweep wide for the
last eight yards.
Scatback Warner and Hymel averaged 42 and 19 yards re-spectively
and Tulane had a 60.5 punting average until a last
quarter blooper. Robelot and McGee—who gained 132 yards
—
lived up to their pre-season press clippings and all-star selec-tions.
But little was proved by such a game—and Charlie Pittman
and Tony Sardisco joined Les Kennedy and Bobby Saia on
the injury list.

Before our cheering throng
WAVE WASHED OUT
Next the Greenies hit the road for Athens. Ga., with the idea
of stopping ail-American "Zeke" Bratkowski's passing. Old Man
Weather took care of that. It rained. But the Greenies. whose last
rain-soaked win was against Georgia Tech in 1949. lost anyway.
The teams sloshed around in the mud and the outplayed
Bulldogs came out the winner in a 16-14 squeaker. A slippery
football was the villain. Four bad or hobbled center passes on
crucial kicking situations wrecked Tulane hopes for victory while
a hard-charging Georgia fullback. Bob Clemens, took to the
watery turf like a duck, wading through the Greenies for 86
yards in 18 carries.
A field goal by Georgia's Sam Mrvos proved the difference, and
it, too, came on a Greenie bobble. Equally damaging was the
Bulldog TD set up by a stray center pass in the last minute of
the half.
Bratkowski, fiercely rushed, junked his passing attack and
instead, kicked the Greenies into submission with booming punts.
He out-dueled Max McGee and Ray Weidenbacher with an as-tounding
48-yard punt average.
Both Tulane scores came on passes, one from Pete Clement
to Ed Bravo, and the other from a pair of sparkling subs—Ray
Weidenbacher to Ray Price. Weidenbacher relieved Clement in
the second half and turned in a brilliant performance, engineer-ing
a 64-yard touchdown drive.
The Greenies lost but Coach Wolf was able to salvage a smile
or two. For one thing, the line got a stiffer test and except for its
generosity toward Clemens, consistently out charged the heavier
Bulldogs. Robelot. Burnthorne. Sardisco. Price, and Cummins led
the stubborn Greenie forward wall in the muddy job of holding
the Bulldogs at bay.
It wasn't a day for ground gaining—but Weidenbacher man-aged
to squish through for 37 yards to lead the Wave ball-toters.
Kent smashed for 35 and Les Kennedy, in his first game, plodded
for 33 more.
Penalties weren't frequent, but one big one nearly broke the
Greenies' backs in the first half. McGee unloaded a 51-yard punt
which rolled dead on the Georgia one-foot line. But a Tulane
offside brought the play back.
It was a tough one to lose, but the Greenies beat themselves
with mistakes. There were no injuries this time, and the Wave
gridders were still gunning for a big year, with powerful Michi-gan
next on the list.

Come to the Sunny South
WOLVERINES WING WAVE
With a 1-1 record. Coach Wolf and his Greenies emplaned to
Ann Arbor for a visit to the Big Ten country and Michigan's
Wolverines, fresh from a 50-0 stunner over Washington and with
a number 3 national ranking.
Sunny skies and Louisiana temperatures weren't enough of
the comforts of home, however, and the Greenies came limping
back to the bayou country on the short end of a 26-7 score.
Ed Bravo, Al Robelot and Tony Sardisco bulwarked Tulane's
line while Pete Clement and Max McGee fought desperately to
start a Wave offense rolling.
Michigan rambled 67 yards in eight plays for a first-period
tally and led the rest of the way. A glittering sophomore. Tony
Branoff, charged over from the five-yard stripe and converted
for Michigan.
The Wolves added the clincher by twisting 75 yards in 15
plays in the second quarter. A dangerous gamble was the key
play. With fourth down and two to go on their own 33. Michigan
chose to run and picked up the needed yardage for the first down.
Thereafter, they reeled off a pair of long gains and the old
"Statue of Liberty' paid off from the seven-yard line.
Tulane came to life to dominate play throughout the third
period, generating two drives which stalled deep in Wolverine
territory. But with a minute remaining in the quarter. Michigan's
Ted Kress fumbled in his own end zone and alert Eddie Bravo
pounced on the ball for Tulane's only touchdown. Clement con-verted
and the Wave trailed by 13-7. Then the rain came and
the Greenies could not get rolling again.
With five minutes remaining. Michigan end Bob Topp blocked
a Les Kennedy punt and Michigan got it in the Wave end zone to
make it 20-7.
Kress added the insurance marker after intercepting a Clement
pass on his own 38. On the next play he slashed off tackle, churn-ing
62 yards to make it 26-7.
The Wave spirit remained high as a bewildering assortment
of plays and superb blocking from the single wing and team
speed brought the Mid-Westerners victory in a well-played game.

Next came Georgia Tech and the Greenies. trading knocks with
one of the nation's finest elevens, lost 27-13. Battling fiercely.
Tulane gave the Jackets a far better game than did West Vir-ginia
in a Sugar Bowl game as dull as had been expected. Only
Notre Dame, during the regular season, scored more against the
swift Tech line and alert pass defense.
A brilliant first quarter drive netted Tulane the first touch-down
scored against Tech in the 1953 season. Ray Weidenbacher
masterminded the attack. Fullback Ronnie Kent plunged over
from the one-yard line to make it 6-0. Upset talk drifted through
half-filled Tulane Stadium.
But after the slow, fumbling start, with five lost in the first
quarter, Tech gathered speed under the lash of quarterback Bill
Brigman's accurate throwing arm, then staved off a determined
last-period comeback by the injury-peppered Greenies.
Tech's sharp ankle-twisting line caused the most trouble. It
rushed Tulane's passers and kickers unmercifully, and handed
the Wave a fearful physical beating.
Meanwhile. Tech's freshman quarterback. Wade Mitchell, en-gineered
a 64-yard TD march after twenty minutes with Glenn
Turner, a bull-powered fullback, going over. Later Brigman
grabbed the reins, fired two touchdown passes and guided an-other
from the ground to pull the men from Georgia out of
danger.
Brigman heaved to halfback George Volkert to make it 14-6
with five seconds left in the half, and stormed back in the second
half to sew things up with a 13-yard TD pitch to end Bill Sennett
to run it 21-6.
Kent was sidelined with a broken hand and end Ray Price fol-lowed
with a broken foot. Both sat out the rest of the season.

Catch of the year UU.

Weidenbacher retired with a twisted knee in the last quarter and
Les Kennedy was removed with a sprained ankle.
Outmanned Tulane played the last half without its injured
starting backfield plus Clement and Chauvin, but untried re-serves
scrapped back to within one touchdown in the final min-utes.
Fullback Bob Saia rocketed through the middle to give the
Greenies their second marker. Clement converted to make it
21-13.
But Tech wasn't through yet. Brigman led the Engineers to
their final score with a 62-yard drive in the closing seconds.
Turner smashed over to make it 27-13.
Tech's power and the injury to key Greenies put the "kiss of
death" on Tulane hopes for a comeback, as the Greenies stumb-led
farther downhill.

not enough to charge up the Greenies for Miss Rebs as they drop-ped
their fourth game, 45-14.
Tulane recovered an Ole Miss fumble on the second play of the
game and drove 35 yards to score. Pete Clement passed to end
Ed Bravo to make it 6-0. Clement converted and for the second
successive week, upset talk buzzed the stands.
After that the injury-weakened and oulmanned Greenies
seemingly could do nothing right.
It was a battle of lines early in the game until a series of
decisive breaks and the sparkling quarterbacking of Herman
"Eagle" Day turned against the Greenies.
Bryan Burnthorne. Charlie Coates, Tony Sardisco and Jim
Shoultz matched the Rebel line power for a while, but the Rebs
gradually softened up the Greenie defenders and turned the
game into a rout.
Guard Crawford Mims. one of the oustanding linemen to
perform in Tulane Stadium in 1953, roared in to block a Max
McGee punt and the Rebs covered it for their first touchdown as
the quarter closed.
Mississippi roared on while the Greenies gradually slowed to
a halt. The Rebs tallied three times in a devastating second quar-ter.
Day grounded a Jim Partridge fumble on the Tulane 16 and
Rebel fullback Bobby McCool scampered the distance on the
next play to make it 13-7.
Later Day passed to halfback Earl Blair to make it 19-7 and
Ole Miss was off to the races. Substitute back Jimmy Patton
entered the game and proceeded to riddle the Greenies for four
touchdov/ns in the final half.
After Patton's third paydirt trip. Tulane came to liie enough
to send freshman fullback Ron Quillian over on a 10-yard smash.
Clement converted to make it 38-14 before Patton completed the
humiliating defeat of the Greenies with his fourth touchdown.
For the Rebs it was their third straight upset of Tulane. their
highest .score even recorded against the Greenie. and the Wave's
worst post-war defeat in the Stadium.

POWER PAST WAVE
A train trip to Mobile, Ala., produced little for the battered
Greenies to cheer about as they tumbled to their fifth straight
loss, this time to Auburn, 34-7. This was Tulane's first loss in
Ladd Stadium.
Quarterback Ray Weidenbacher missed the game because of
his knee injury in the Tech tussle. Ed Bravo, Bryan Burnthorne,
Al Robelot, Bill Spollen, George Cummins, and Paul Rushing
stood out in a badly overpowered Tulane line.
Starting slowly. Auburn began to roll late in the first period.
The Tigers put together a 59-yard drive late in the quarter with
fullback Charlie Hataway going over from the one-yard line.
A pass interception by Bobby Freeman opened the gates for
the second Tiger tally. Freeman grabbed Pete Clement's toss
away from the hands of Max McGee and streaked 33 yards to the
Tulane seven. Hataway scored in two plays and half-time ended
with Tulane behind, 13-0.
The Greenies threatened briefly in the third quarter when cen-ter
Rushing recovered McGee's goal-line fumble for the only
Wave touchdown. Pete Clement converted to pull the Greenies
to 13-7.
Then the Plainsmen went to work to run up the highest score
they've made in 51 years against Tulane. Bobby Duke snatched
a 26-yard deflected pass from Freeman to make it 20-7. Then,
in Tulane's most exciting play, Kennedy grabbed a lateral on
the ensuing kick-off at his own 6. and scampered 53 yards before
being nipped from behind. With this threat stalled, the Wave
was through.
In the final period Freeman sprinted seven yards around end
to make it 27-7 as the bewildered Greenies began to fade. Sub
Joe Davis clamped on the lid with a 22-yard dash off tackle late
in the game to make the final score 34-7.
Fortunately the Greenies escaped serious injury except for
routine bruises, as they began preparations for Homecoming and
the Black Knights of Army.

REVITALIZED WAVE
DROWNS OFFENSE
OF EAST'S BEST
A spirited homecoming crowd of 40,000 was treated to
one of the finest grid battles in years at Tulane Stadium,
as Coach 'Bear" Wolf worked his injury-weakened club
into a fever pitch.
Col. "Red" Blaik brought his Army Cadets to town for
a "breather" only to have the sky-high Greenies battle the
Cadets to a 0-0 tie.
Favored by two touchdowns, Army found Tulane's spirit
too much as it failed to score for the only time during the
season. Potent at midfield, the Cadets couldn't shatter the
Wave line or the Tulane spirit on crucial fourth-down plays.
It was a battle of stout lines all the way. Tulane's Ron
Senac, Tony Sardisco, Al Robelot, Ed Bravo, Bryan Burn-thorne
and the rest of the Green ie linesmen turned in a
magnificent performance. But Les Kennedy and Paul Rush-ing
were the top acts on Tulane's program, and between

It's McGee by a length
them they made or helped to make virtually every tackle
by the Greenies in the turf-tearing defensive battle.
The Cadets, however, matched Tulane's stingy line by
mixing a set of unorthodox defensive lineups to confuse
Greenie signal-callers.
Army's heralded Pete Vann-Fred Attaya combo didn't
materialize as the Greenies line smacked fullback Attaya
down and out of the game in the third quarter and pro-ceeded
to smother quarterback Vann's oifensive plans.

period on Vann's passing. Army's attack bogged down after

a penalty wiped out a would-be TD pass from Vann to end
Bob Mischak.
Vann's strong pitching arm lobbed artillery at the
Green ie defenders in the closing seconds only to have
Tulane's Pete Clement intercept one of the heaves with less
than two seconds left to insure the tie.
Tulane drove to the Cadet 8-yard line in the fourth period
where a Clement field goal attempt was blocked by Mischak.
Eight lost fumbles cancelled first-quarter drives by both
teams, as they settled down to a jolting line contest the rest
of the way.
But the brow-lifting tie was a costly one for the Greenies.
Get that Ref!
Weidenbacher, back in action after a two-week layoff be-cause
of injury, had to leave in the third period with a
shoulder ailment and Sardisco and Robelot were temporar-ily
shoved out of action.
Tulane hit the national airwaves, as Ted Husing and Bill
Stern described the tilt for New York and ABC listeners.
Husing declared that the Greenie line, which nested con-tinuously
in Army's backfield, was more successful than
any other team in bottling up the high-powered Cadets.

MAULED BY MAROONS
Nov. 7 was "hospital day" again for the battered Greenies.
Mississippi State hurt the Greenie pride with a 21-0 .stomping,
while Tulane"s Al Robelot, Les Kennedy and Pete Clement were
sidetracked with injuries.
Big Paul Rushing once again was Tulane's tower of strength
in the line along with Tony Sardisco. Jim Shoultz, Charlie
Coates and George Cummins. Meanwhile, the Greenie offense
could not pierce State's stubborn defenders.
Jack Parker. 1952's SEC scoring champ, and one of the most
dangerous quarterbacks the Greenies faced all season, was field
general for the Maroons. He passed for one touchdown, scored
another and guided the State eleven on the ground to its third
tally.
Tulane showed only flashes of the brilliant play that brought
a scoreless tie with Army the week before. It got the ball only
three times in the first quarter, fumbling it away twice.
State ground out 412 yards by rushing. Fullback Charles
Evans pounded over on a 37-yard blast to cap a 68-yard first

quarter drive that gave the Maroons a 7-0 lead. In the same
period, the Maroons were credited with 55 yards on a fumble
that looked like a soccer match! Tulane's Partridge iinally
trapped the bouncing pigskin.
Late in the second period Parker faked a pass and skirted right
end for the second State score, and it was 14-0 at halftime.
Late in the last period the Maroons added their final tally
when Parker tossed a 7-yard aerial to end John Katusa. Parker
converted all of State's touchdowns and it ended 21-0.
Tulane revealed a glaring weakness on pass defense against
Parker's pitches, as well as giving the mediocre Maroons their
generous supply of rushing yardage. With first stringers Ray
Weidenbacher and Max McGee out with injuries, combined
with injuries to Kennedy. Clement and Rohelot. the Greenies
limped off with their sixth loss in eight games.

STOPPED BY VANDY
Vanderbilt's Commodores closed out Tulane's home schedule
by handing the Greenies their seventh loss, 21-7. It was Vandy's
first SEC win over the Wave; in fact, their first since 1928!
Big Max McGee, back in action though slowed by injuries,
pleased the sparse crowd with some of his finest running of the
year, but the effort wasn't enough as the riddled Greenies fumbled
away scoring chances and continued to make defensive errors.
Max and the 3 Musketeers
Jim Shoultz. Al Robelot, Earl Burke, Charlie Camp, and Ron
Senac stopped up the holes torn by the Commodores' big forward
wall.
Fullback Bill Krietemeyer got the Vandy eleven off to a fast
start in the first period when he plowed six yards to climax a
75-yard march and added the point after touchdown.
The tilt then settled down to a punting duel between McGee
and Vandy's Charlie Horton for the rest of the first half.
In the second half the Greenies stormed back with a patched-up
lineup to tie the score at 7-7. Pete Clement ended a 59-yard
drive with a three-yard pass to McGee. Clement converted.
However. Vandy struck suddenly for two touchdowns in the
last five minutes as the Greenies fell to their most discouraging
loss.
The Commodores tallied on a 41-yard march with halfback
Danny Byers and quarterback Billy Holmes' passing chewing
up the most yardage. End Charlie Hawkins picked off Holmes'
pass for the second TD. Guard Bob Goodall converted to make
it 14-7.
Minutes later. Greenie halfback Les Kennedy who was sent
in despite a hobbling injury, fumbled on the Tulane six and
center Jim Cunningham recovered for Vandy. Holmes passed
to Hawkins again for the score to make it 20-7. Goodall con-verted.
No important injuries sprung up to worry the Greenies as they
headed into a two-week rest period for the LSD battle.

BEST NOVEMBER
GAME NOT ENOUGH
Slate-gray skies, brisk autumn weatlier and a wide-eyed
Louisiana State pass defense greeted tlie Greenies at Baton
Rouge.
Tulane lost, 32-13, despite iron-man efforts by backs E. J. Chau-vin,
Pete Clement. Les Kennedy, Tommy Warner, Ray Weiden-bacher
and Wayne Wall, and a hard-charging line which desper-ately
missed fiery Al Robelot who was out with injuries. Hard-running
Bubsie Partridge also missed "the big one" with a
broken hand.
Harold Hawkins, Ed McCool, and Paul Rushing, upheld the
stubborn Wave line but LSU's Jerry Marchand and alert defense
proved too much.
Five Tulane passes were intercepted by the sharp Tiger de-fenders,
one was returned for the deadening touchdown, and two
Greenie fumbles were covered by eager Tiger linemen to add io
Greenie woes.
After falling behind, 26-0, a pair of spirited last-quarter drives
netted touchdowns for the Greenies, with senior Wayne Wall
tallying the only six-pointer in his college career, and freshman
Pete Morere pounding over from the five-yard stripe for the
other.
But it was LSU's stocky fullback, Marchand, who riddled Tu-
Still waiting
lane for 99 yards by rushing and three touchdowns in his final
college game. He nabbed an Al Doggett flat pass for 60 yards
after three minutes of game time to set up the Bengals' first
score, then squirmed over from the one.
Rolling up over 100 yards in the initial period, the Greenies'
forwards consistently got the jump on the Bengals and marched
from deep in their own territory before bogging down. Late
in the second frame, Doggett picked off a desperate Weiden-bacher
pass and scored from Tulane's 26. LSU led at halftime,
12-0.
In the third period the Tigers rolled on as the battered Green-ies
reluctantly gave ground. Tiger guard Andy Alford inter-

cepted a Les Kennedy pass to set up the Tigers' third tally with
Marchand zipping over from the one.
Moments later Dogget returned a Tulane punt to the Greenie
28. then passed to halfback Charlie Oakley for the score. Doggett's
conversions made it 26-0 before the Greenies began to get up
steam.
Sharing honors with veterans in the first touchdown drive
covering 83 yards, freshman Tommy Warner caught two Clem-ent
passes and ripped off a nine-yard gain before Wall crossed
the goal from the one-foot line.
The Tigers stormed back for a 45-yard rally with Marchand
again doing the honors from the five to run the count to 32-6.
The Greenies wouldn't lay down, however, and freshmen Willie
Hof, Ron Quillian and Morere, working with Clement, slashed
goalward from the LSU 40 after Clement had returned LSU's
kickoff nearly forty yards. A fifteen-yard penalty helped the
Greenie cause before Morere plunged over and Clement con-verted
to make it 32-13.
The game was bitterly fought—like any Tulane-LSU battle
—
but the wornout warriors in Green and Gold exchanged hand-shakes
and called it a season.

LET'S DE-EMPHASIZE DE-EMPHASIS
Only 5 seasons ago in 1948, the Greenies blazed to a
scintillating 46-0 slaughter of LSU in Baton Rouge. A
fairly steady decline set in until this year, when Tulane
suffered its longest winless streak—and probably worst
football season in sixty years of the sport.
Our highly-heralded re-evaluation of intercollegiate ath-letics
was perhaps educationally valid. But apparently it
is athletically futile. Playing big-time schools in a mam-moth
stadium with professional publicity ( and treatment
of fans and students ) becomes incongruous with a simon-pure
attitude. With a well-liked coach, and some promis-ing,
colorful material—more was to be expected this year
in football. Injuries, attrition, and demoralization re-sulting
from successive defeats are hardly a sufficient
answer. Overall student and alumni spirit do not become
sublime simply because our teams are over-matched.
The so-called "minor" sports of tennis and basketball,
during the pigskin decline, have achieved a fine technical
proficiency and gained vital, enthusiastic fans. Intra-murals,
as played, cause more injuries than intercollegiate
sports.
Let's re-think our athletic program.
Pulling ten games out in the closing nerve-tingling
three minutes, the Greenies basketball team maneuvered
its way to a creditable 16-8 seasonal record and a tie
for third with Alabama in the SEC. Faced with serious
backboard and bench problems when the three probable
starters Fritz Schultz, Dick McGowan. and Clyde Cox,
withdrew from school. Coach Wells completely revised
Tulane's style of plav. No member of the 1952-53 SEC
runner-up had graduated, but these losses and a rougher
schedule made the improvement on last season's record
a worthy accomplishment for the squad.
Tulane showed sterling accuracy from the free-throw
line—especially in the clutch when the cat-and-mouse
drew fouls—and finished second nationally in the depart-ment.
With only three seniors—Pat Browne, Bob Kriebel,
and Harry Hobbs—the Greenies opened with close upsets
over Kansas, Wisconsin, and Oregon State before wildly
cheering crowds.
Throwing their traditional "fire-engine" fast break out
the window, the 1953-54 Greenies played it cool—slow
and deliberate but with plenty of hustle.
Final scores were lower than in previous years because
the Tulane control game made it that way. Thrillers were
a dime a dozen. The Greenies won nine of the close ones in
the closing minutes with a "cat and mouse" maneuver
which put four players in each corner clearing the floor for
one man to fake and drive for the basket.
Hal Cervini was leader of the "cat and mouse" attack.
He got strong support from two other dazzling guards,
Roy StoU, potentially the finest guard in Greenie history,
and sub Bob Delpit. These three along with a quintet of
1954 BASKETBALL
"underneath" men. Dick Brennan, Pat Browne. Jim Now-akowski,
Phil Wallace and Bob Kriebel, played most of the
ball. Always ready on the bench for "fill-in" assignments
were Harry Hobbs, Dean Tyner, Roland Wallace, Jim
Cothern, Tom Murphy and Stan Stumpf.
A pair of routine openers ushered in the season. The
Greenies pried oil the lid with a 68-44 conquest of the
,
Pensacola Navy fliers. Well-balanced scoring and a stingy
defense provided the first victory. A night later Louisiana
College became the second victim, behind Tulane's
racehorse fast break. It ended 87-47. Cervini arched in 19
points to lead the offense. Phil Wallace, a 6-6 stringbean
who transferred to Tulane from Millsaps College and Nowa-kowski,
a 6-9 giant who came down from Kent State (0.)
University began their season-long battle for the starting
center job. Wallace made the best showing early in the
season because "Big Jim" had undergone an appendec-tomy
in late October. Both looked promising in the two
opening "breathers."
THE 1954 SQUAD
THE GREENIES OF va.Wil
Front Row, left to right: Student Manager Dick Wells, Bob Delpit, Harry Hobbs, Captain Pat Browne, Dean Tyner, Roy StoU, Hal Cervini, Student Man-ager
Jim Brunner. Back Row: Trainer Earl Porche, Bub Kriebel, Tom Murphy, Phil Wallace, Jim Nowakowski, Stan Stumpf, Dick Brennan and Coach
Cliff Wells.
On Dec. 10 the team which came within one point of the
national collegiate title in 1953—Kansas—came to town.
The Greenies were suddenly playing in the big leagues.
Armed with ail-American center B. H. Born and all-Big
Seven forward Allan Kelley, the visiting Jayhawks ranked
third nationally, were heavy favorites over Tulane. But
Coach Wells and the fighting Greenies had different ideas.
Cervini sizzled for 20 points. Wallace was right behind
with 19 as the Wave hit for an amazing 47.2% from the
floor and beat Phog Allen's ball-hawkers at their own
game. Browne dominated the rebounds and the Greenies
upset Kansas before a howling crowd, 69-65. The jammed
Tulane gym housed a standing ovation for the Greenies
when it was over. Tulane was in the national limelight
after what may be the best basketball gaine a Wave team
ever played.
But the bubble quickly burst. On Dec. 14 a veteran
crew of Rice Owls flew into town. They were on their way
to a hardwood date in New York's Madison Square Garden
and they weren't iinpressed with Tulane's unblemished
record. Poor Tulane shooting in the first half put the
Owls far ahead at intermission, 33-17. After that, only
a ghost of a chance remained. But the Greenies fought
back to 56-49 when the gun sounded. A better start would
have produced a win for the Greenies, but the first eight
minutes of the game passed without a Wave field goal and
the deficit was too much to overtake.
With the season record now at 3-1 the Greenies enter-tained
a couple of Big Ten teams over the weekend of Dec.
19-21. Tulane edged Northwestern's Wildcats the first
night, 70-68. Four consecutive clutch foul shots by Cer-vini
handed Tulane the win. Cervini and Delpit each man-aged
15 points to share top scoring honors. The Greenies
were ragged throughout the game, blowing a 40-32 lead
and falling behind 53-48 before finding the range again.
Two nights later a strong gang of Wisconsin Badgers came
down from Baton Rouge where they walloped LSU, 82-
66. The Greenie players had the incentive and Wells fur-nished
the strategy—a tight zone defense arrangement
which completely befuddled the visitors. The game re-quired
an overtime period to complete, but the underdog
Greenies won, 57-55. Cervini's steel-nerved foul shooting
in the closing seconds brought the win to the Greenies.
Phil Wallace scored 12 points. Browne swept 18 rebounds
and Tulane's second Big Ten scalp was on the string.
Christmas vacation came next, and for the Greenies
84
AND THE ACTION
it meant a visit to Raleigh, N.C., and one of the nation's
best tournaments, the Dixie Classic. Competing in the
huge 12,000-seat Reynolds Coliseum with teams like North
Carolina State. Duke, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Navy,
Seton Hall and Oregon State, the Greenies saw and learned
plenty of top-drawer basketball. But the lesson was costly.
It meant one win and two losses on the season record.
In their first Classic game the Greenies hauled out
their zone defense, hoping to pull a "Wisconsin trick"
again. But Wake Forest was wise, and the Demon Deacons
dropped Tulane, 72-65. The Wave defense held Deacon
ail-American center Dick Hemric to the lowest total of
his college career, 13 points.
But a slender southpaw named "Lefty" Davis uncorked
25 points to riddle the Tulane defense. Cervini and Wal-lace
paced Tulane's offense. Oregon State's tall Beavers
became Tulane's next tourney foe. With the tallest player
in college history, 7-3 Wade Halbrook, and sporting the
national ranking of fourth to say nothing of a recent 16-
point lacing of Indiana's defending national champs, the
Beavers were figured to rebound from their Classic loss
to Duke by blasting the Greenies.
But Tulane hadn't read the papers. Holding Halbrook Gotcha!
85
"Cat and Mouse"
to four goals the Greenies pleased a Classic crowd of 12.-
000 with an upset 74-70 win. Cervini, Wallace and subs
Nowakowski and Kriebel provided the punch with a
spirited second half rally that overcame a 14-point Beaver
lead. Halbrook netted a Classic record of 15 free throws
but the hustling Wave would not quit. They outfought and
outshot the Beavers to earn the right to meet clever little
Seton Hall for the consolation trophy. Seton Hall's Pirates
used slick blocks and screens, amazing shooting (49%
accuracy) and a defensive iron curtain to knock off the
bewildered Greenies, 77-68. Cervini, Stoll and Nowakow-ski
all fouled out trying to stop the Pirates. Tulanes sea-son
mark now stood at six wins and three losses. Cervini
was picked on the all-Classic second team at guard as the
Greenies returned to New Orleans with a 14-game South-eastern
Conference schedule staring them in the face.
On Jan. 7 Phil Wallace sprained his left ankle and two
days later Florida's Gators opened the conference slate
for the Greenies in New Orleans. With Kriebel and Nowa-kowski
filling the center duties for the injured Wallace
the Greenies hammered out a convincing 86-64 win. Stoll
fired in 17 points to lead the attack while Cervini hit 15
and Kriebel added 14. Kriebel and Browne as usual do-minated
the rebounds.
Georgia visited Tulane next, and the Greenies slammed
the Bulldogs to the tune of 93-78. It was the highest point
total of the season for Tulane. Browne set a new Tulane in-dividual
scoring record by looping in 33 points, break-ing
the 29-point standard held by Mel Payton in 1950
and Don Holt in 1952. Cervini piled on 15 more and Krie-bel
hit for 14. Tulane started slowly, falling behind at one
state, 8-0. but stormed back to run off with their eighth
win against three losses.
Next came Kentucky. Coach Adolph Rupp's Wildcats
topped every collegiate poll and the Greenies quickly
found out why. Kentucky crushed Tulane 94-43 behind
All-Americans Frank Ramsey and Cliff Hagan who hit
for 26 and 24 points respectively while Lou Tsioropolous

86
Who wants it?
canned 22 for Kentucky. The Cats pulled ahead 26-8 in
the first quarter at halftime. The Wave was worn out from
a 36-hour trip because the plane could not land in Lex-ington.
Tulane couldn't score against Kentucky's aggres-sive
defense, couldn't rebound with the Wildcats' three
big men, and couldn't stop the thundering fast breaks
which the Cats threw at them.
Some teams would fold up and die after such drubbing.
But the Greenies came back with a vengeance. Playing
Tennessee in Knoxville. Tulane bounced back with a
thrilling 6.3-61 win over the Vols. Delpit performed some
last-second heroics to pull it out of the fire, hitting two
free throws with five seconds left for the victory. Nowa-kowski
tallied ten points and rebounded ruggedly to give
the crippled Greenies a big lift. Wallace was still out with
his ankie injury and Brennan twisted his knee in Kentucky
but the Greenies boosted their season mark to nine wins
and four losses with a nifty 3-1 conference record.
When exam time came around the Greenies didn't study
Strategy Badgers bounced
enough for their test in the midst of finals with Spring
Hill in Mobile, Ala., and they flunked. 60-57. A "little col-lege"
ail-American named "Happy" Mahfouz collected 22
points and hit a last-ditch goal to give the scrappy Badgers
an upset win over their "big time" foe. Wallace missed the
tilt and Brennan saw only spot service but it was Tulane's
inability to get "fired up" more than a lack of manpower.
The Greenies came home slightly red-faced with vengeful
gazes ahead in the direction of Mississippi.
And when the Mississippi schools came to New Orleans
the Greenies were ready. Cervini played his top game of
the year, scoring 28 points and turning in a brilliant de-fensive
game as Ole Miss battled but fell, 84-77. Browne
added 21 points and StoU punched in 13 as the Greenies
out-shined the heralded Denver Brackeen-Cob Jarvis scor-ing
combination of the Rebels. Tulane guards outscored
Ole Miss guards 43-8 in the thriller. That was only the
beginning. Two nights later the Wave clicked to near-perfection
in thumping Mississippi State, 79-56. Brennan
fired in 21 points and Browne followed with 15. But it
was Tulane's zone defense that clicked the loudest. Shift-ing
beautifully with each movement of the ball by State
Spectators
87
the Greenies frequently batted down attempted passes and
converted them into rumbling fast break assaults which
produced many easy goals.
The hot streak didn't last, however. In Baton Rouge the
following weekend the zone defense failed to halt Louis-iana
State's torrid outside shooting and the Greenies after
a 7-0 lead collapsed to a 66-47 defeat. LSU's ail-American
Bob Pettit was harnessed by the Wave defense until the
Bengals got a hefty lead and did not score a field goal in
the first half. 'I he defense eased up to stop the Tigers out-side—
so Pettit poured in 17 points in the last 15 minutes
of the game. StoU led Tulane's stifled attack with 14 mark-ers.
Brenna:i added 12. This brought Tulane's season
record to 11-6 with a 5-2 SEC mark.
The things done wrong at LSU were corrected the fol-lowing
week in Nashville, Tenn. Vanderbilt felt the sting
of the revenge-seeking Greenies to the tune of a 71-63
upset. Cervini performed in all-SEC fashion to tally 22
points and hold Vandy's high-scoring "Babe" Taylor to
zero. StoU added 15 more for Tulane. Vandy's Dan Finch
arched in 30 points but the Greenies had the poise to hold
the lead most of the way. Clever passes, rugged rebound-ing
and red-hot (46.8%) goal shooting were the outstand-ing
factors in Tulane's twelfth win. In Atlanta the Greenies
finished the two-game road trip by nearly blowing a close
one to winless Georgia Tech. It took a last-second basket
by Delpit after the Wave had "cat and moused" the last
three minutes of the game. Tech had a chance to take the
lead with less than a minute to go but missed two free
throw attempts. Tulane got the ball, gave it to Delpit and
came out with a 59-57 escape. Cervini scored 14 points and
Stoll tacked on 12.
After the successful road trip, the Greenies found them-selves
tied with Auburn for fourth place in the SEC. Ken-tucky,
LSU and Alabama were the league's front-runners
at this stage. But Alabama and Auburn came next for the
Greenies and the standing were shaken slightly. The
Greenies edged Alabama in a well-plaved 54-50 thriller,
using the zone defense and "cat and mouse" to take third
place in the league. Cervini scored 15 and Stoll hit for 14
to lead the careful-playing Wave. Taking only 50 shots,
Tulane hit 21 for a sizzling 42% report while reckless
'Bama fired 74 but hit only 22 for 30%. Tulane's next
foe was Auburn and the Greenies' stay in third place was
a short one when the Plainsmen snatched a 65-62 upset to
throw the SEC into a three-way tie for third. Tulane's
zone defense couldn't cope with sharpshooting guard Jack
Turner, who hit for 20 markers and three other Plains-men
who tallied in double figures. Browne tossed in 24
to lead the Wave attack with Stoll and Cervini adding 12
each. Auburn gained the lead for the first time in a 21-13
third quarter and held fast as the Wave repeatedly missed
good shots in the final minutes.
The Greenies bounced with a pair of well-earned wins
in Mississippi the following weekend to retake third place.
With calm ball control and dead-eye shooting by Tulane.
Ole Miss fell 66-57. The Rebs played without Jarvis and
Brackeen but made a good game of it until the final stanza
when Tulane pulled away. The "cat and mouse" scored
for the Greenies in the closing stages. Browne hit 22 while
a trio of Greenie guards contributed 40 points. Cervini
hit 14, Delpit and Stoll added 13 each. The Wave closed
its road season with a 59-53 triumph over Mississippi
State in Starkville. Cervini scorched the nets for 19 to
lead Tulane, meanwhile the Greenie zone defense kept the
Maroon shooters hustling to get shots. A cold third quarter
nearly cost Tulane the win as the Maroons held a six-point
bulge at one time. The final quarter saw Tulane fight back
Stre-e-etch
Get off, you cad
with Kriebel, Cervini and Delpit doing the scoring. Delpit
"cat and moused" the last five minutes and sunk four of
six free throws to keep the Greenies nudged ahead. The
win put Tulane back in third as both Auburn and Alabama
suffered losses to Kentucky. Tulane's season mark at this
point stood 16-7 with 10-3 in the SEC. LSU was the last
game.
The Tigers came to New Orleans needing a win to tie
Kentucky for the SEC title. They got their win. Tulane
gym was jammed to the rafters at tip-off time expecting
a tooth-and-nail struggle. But it never came off. Bengal ail-
American Bob Pettit was unstoppable and the Tigers
^.wished long shots from outside to race to a 40-20 lead be-fore
the Wave came to life. Tulane's zone defense was no
match for the smooth-working Tigers, so Coach Wells
changed plans. In the second half, trailing 41-24. the
Greenies came out with a man-for-man defense and stuck
Nowakowski under the basket on offense. The defense held
LSU to 22 points the poorly-officiated second half while
Nowakowski spearheaded Tulane's 32-point assault. The
Wave pulled to within seven points at .57-50 but the rattled
Tigers settled down, pulled away. Pettit popped in 26
points, 14 on free throws. Nowakowski led the Greenies
with 15 and Cervini got 13 to top McArdle in the personal
feud. It ended 63-52, bringing down the curtain on what
Coach Wells termed "my most satisfying season." The
record did not match earlier seasons, but neither did the
material.
Cervini snagged the biggest share of individual honors.
He was named to the all-Dixie second team. The Associated
Press put him on its all-SEC second team and International
News Service gave him honorable mention for all-Ameri-can.
He led the team in scoring with 339 points—a 14.8
pre-game pace and was the seventh Tulane player in his-tory
to score over 300 points in one season. His 133 free
throws also set a new school mark.
Stoll also made several all-SEC teams—primarily for
his exceptional defensive play, ball-hawking, and rebound-ing.

HAM RICHARDSON JOSE AGUERO HARMON COLLINS
.TENNIS
Tennis—pride and joy of Tulane athletics in recent
jears—came near being perfect in 1953 and figured
to be as good or better this year.
Paced by Sophomore Ham Richardson, Coach Em-mett
Fare's Wave netmen ran their string of dual vic-tories
to 25 without a loss! It was rare, in fact, when
an opponent scored against the power-packed Greenies.
New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, Texas and LSU each
managed one point. The Greenies blanked seven other
foes.
Richardson added the NCAA singles championship to
his ever-growing list of tennis triumphs. Ham is a three-time
Davis Cupper and currently ranks sixth among
American amateurs. He has yet to lose a set in inter-collegiate
competition.
But it took more than one man to do the job—and
Pare had the men. Al Wickersham. Don Merritt, Har-mon
Collins, Henry Jungle and Barney Donnelly won
nearly as often as Richardson, although perhaps not as
decisively. Evidence of Tulane's balance came when the
Wave netters swept every division championship in the
SEC meet held at the season's end. It was Tulane's llth
conference tennis title and third in a row.

Coach Pare lost only two members of the all-winning
'53 team, Wickersham and Merritt. In their places
sophomore Buddy Lomax and freshman Jose Aguero, a
19-year-old Brazilian Davis Cupper from Rio de Janeiro,
figured to step in making Tulane a strong favorite to
repeat its championship ways in 1954.

Lloyd's Homer
BASEBALL
With a late-season rush which produced three wins over LSU, Coach
Dennis Vinzant's Tulane baseballers compiled an 11-9 record for 1953.
In Southeastern Conference play the diamond Greenies finished second
in the Western Division with eight wins and seven losses. Rugged first
baseman Pete Vogt was Tulane's batting star for "53 and righthander
Jack Campione wound up with the best pitching mark.
Vogt pasted SEC pitching for a lusty .366 average and swatted .316
for the full season. He was selected to the all-SEC first team at first
base by an Associated Press coaches' poll.
Campione, who appeared both as a starter and relief man. blazed past
five conference foes without a loss for the top SEC pitching won-lost
record.
Another righthander, Ray Weidenbacher. was the workhorse of the
Wave hill staff. Drawing many of the tough assignments, Weidenbacher
rode out the season with a 2-2 record. Lefty Doug Regan posted a 3-3
mark.
Shortstop Milt Retif trailed Vogt in season batting marks with a .300
reading. Catcher Don Lloyd was next with .281.
Vogt, Campione, Retif and Lloyd joined a handful of returning letter-men
to form the nucleus for the 1954 edition of Vinzant's crew.
Other returnees were outfielders Wilbur Connelly, Carlos Leiva and
Les Kennedy (who missed the 1953 campaign with a fractured wrist) ;
infielders Bill Fleming, Jimmy Nissell and Ed Rubenstein.
Besides his holdovers, Coach Vinzant counted heavily on a crop of
freshmen candidates to strengthen his club into a division contender.
The opening lineup for 1954 leaned strongly toward the veterans with
Kennedy (If), Leiva (rf), Rubenstein (3b), Nissell (ss), Fleming (2b),
Vogt (lb), and Lloyd (c) virtual cinches for starting jobs. Every starter
had earned at least one letter. Tulane's pitching was also "Time-tested"
with lettermen Campione and Jim Weilbacher heading the list.

TRACK
COACH FORREST E. CAKES COACH JOHN OELKERS
FRANK DALFERES
The resurrection of track—long a "weak sister" of the Tulane athletic
department—was one of the bright spots of the 1953 sports story.
Strengthened by one of the largest pre-season turnouts in recent years
the Greenie field and cinder men represented Tulane in the Southern Relays,
the Southwestern Relays, the Southeastern Conference meet where the
Wave finished third and the Central collegiate outing as well as several dual
meets.
Though meet victories were few, there were many outstanding individual
performances turned in by Wave tracksters. Senior Hainon Miller established
a new school mark for the mile run of 4 minutes, 20 seconds. Big George
Cummins brought the SEC titles in both the shot put and javelin throw to
Tulane. He heaved the shot 49 feet. 8 inches and hurled the javelin 148 feet.
3 inches.
Cummins and Miller were the only major losses to the '54 squad, and
coaches "Fritz" Oakes and John Oelkers had high hopes of continuing the
improvement in Tulane's track fortunes.
Veteran distance man Mark McCoy headed the list of returnees. Art Ald-erson.
a brawny shot-putter also was expected to add points for the Greenies.
In other departments Oakes and Oelkers counted on Southern AAU javelin
champ Frank Dalferes. Otis Gilmore for middle-distance events; Harold
Hawkins also for the javelin; Willie Hof in the dashes; and Les Kennedy,
who was second-best in the SEC broad-jump event in '53. All but Dalferes,
Alderson and McCoy were Tulane footballers as well as standout trackmen.

Co-Captains Neal Hobson and Speed Bancroft
Tulane's 1953 golf squad notched only one victory, but
with the return of five letternien, Coach Innes Millar nursed
hopes for great improvement in 1954.
"Speed" Bancroft, Dick Lyle, Jerry Schenken, Stanton Schul-er,
and Neal Hobson comprise the returning Wave linksmen.
In addition to a 1953 slate of six dual meets. Coach Millar's
stroders sent Schuler, Hobson, and Lyle to Athens, Ga., for
a shot at the Southern Collegiate glitter. The competition was
too much, however, and the quartette came home with experi-ence—
but not much else.
The Greenies gral)bed tlieir only 1953 win from Spring
Hill, 10-8. Losses were to Spring Hill, 6-12; Pensacola Naval
Air Station, 8-10; Louisiana Tech, 4P/2-13Vi;; and twice to LSU,
8-19, and 2-25.

MISS PAULINE TULANE
Few would argue that girls are chosen for heauty courts on the basis of
their looks alone—or upon what constitutes beauty. Personality, sororities,
and all sorts of tangibles and intangibles play an important role in school
elections. Yet, no matter how important is the irrelevant, each voter likes to
think that his choice for so-called beauty, is—at her best—truly beautiful.
There were 92 nominees for Miss Pauline Tulane this year. All girls reg-ularly
enrolled in Tulane or Newcomb except freshmen and last year's re-turning
beauties—Mignon Paget, Carol Clark, Nancy Liljenstein, and Nancy
Lawson—were eligible. From the 15 finalists chosen by jAMB-stafI members
and other student leaders the student body elected to reign at the Pan-Hellenic

The Tulaue Pan-Hellenic Council, the regulating body for the seventeen
social fraternities on the campus, is composed of two members elected by
each of the member fraternities. The Council sponsors a diversified program
of inter-fraternity competition throughout the year, awarding a trophy for
each event and for the best overall yearly record.
Shortly after classes started, the Council held a welcoming banquet for
all fraternity pledges. Before initiation week the Council sponsored the
annual Greek Week, which consisted of a series of discussions among Chap-ter
officers and pledges and a convocation at which Dr. Fred H. Turner,
Dean of Students at the University of Illinois, spoke.
Greek Week was climaxed by the Pan-Hellenic Formal, at which the 1954
Jambalaya Beauty Court was presented.

Who says the KA's make lots of noise
Who says they are drinkers
Who says the are thinkers
Who says the KA's have any poise?
Who wants to "be their guest"
Who wants to "hear them jest"
Who wants to be fed
On "crazy said Red"
Who wants to agree they're best?

SIGMA CHAPTER
"A CHANGE" OR "GET WITH IT"
The Kappa Sigs have moved their stall
Much to the relief of all.
Into a larger place they went
Sad about the money they spent.
Now if they want to take their place
In the popularity race,
They better get some men in their frat.
Let's leave it at that!

LOUISIANA ALPHA CHAPTER OF
PHI DELTA RATERS
There's a big white house on State
Where they boys think they really rate
For Babes they're going gung-ho
But little do they know
The Shaft is really their fate.
There's a little bawdy blast in the spring
Where they all wear sarongs and sing
But when the lights go out,
Girls better watch out
Cause that's when the Phi Belt's really king.

Each dorm girls quickly pulls her shade

All wear a pin.
They'll all join in
When the members sin

Drinking whisky,
Being riskey.
And cards to win.

To them its go-go-go

All they did was sing

They still sing !

There was an old college known as TU
Who had so many sororities it didn't know what to do
;
There was Chi and Kappa. Phi Mu and ADPi,
Pi Phi, BSO, Delta Zeta, AOPi, AE Phi.
The activities bounded
By sororities surrounded,
And competition reigned
While new means were founded,
To better the campus, the sororities as well.
While plans in the making began to jell:
First there was Song Fest, where all joined in song
To collect money and to please the happy throng
Of mothers, fathers, faculty, and friend.
To discover the winner for which all did contend.
Later in the year an event known as Skit Night
Gave all a chance as new stars to shine bright;
While Derby Day took place one day in the
