The youth of America today have a challenge in the opportunity to serve the nation as officers in the fighting fleet of the U.S. Navy.

Qualified graduates of the NROTC Unit at the University of Illinois will be com- missioned in the Navy or Marine Corps, and will join the Fleet as well-trained Junior officers.

The Navy council, a coordinative com- mittee which is composed of midshipmen and regular Navy officers, is designed to promote better officer-men relationships.

Phalanx is a National Honorary and Pro- fessional fraternity which was established at Illinois in 1925. Members are chosen by invitation only from the Army, Navy, and Air Force R.O.T.C. students in the advanced course.

As stated in its constitution, "The pur- pose of this fraternity shall be to promote the interest of military training, to foster the spirit of fellowship among military men, to aid in the preparedness of this country, to implant in its members the discipline so necessary, not only in a military enterprise, but in every walk of life."

Phalanx has become the leading military fraternity on every campus on which it is located because it participates in and leads most of the military activities and projects on their campuses. It also honors advanced corps cadets who show interest in military science affairs.

The purpose of Scabbard and Blade, na- tional military honorary fraternity, is to raise the standard of military education in Ameri- can universities. Scabbard and Blade encour- ages good qualities in officers and promotes friendship among the cadet officers.

Organized at the University of Illinois in 1909, Company F was the fifth company to join the organization. Today the society has 110 companies organized into nine regiments with a total membership of over 55,000. Members are chosen yearly from the Ad- vanced Corps of the Army, Air Force and Naval ROTC. They are selected on the basis of their all around ability.

National officers are elected, petitions for new companies are voted upon, and future policies are discussed at national conventions which are held annually.

Company C of the Third Regiment of Pershing Rifles is one of fifty-seven com- panies all over the nation. It is the only national military society that basic ROTC students may join. This organization was founded by John J. Pershing in 1893. From that time, Pershing Rifles has spread over the nation promoting the ideals of leadership and efficiency in military tactics.

In 1931, Pershing Rifles established a com- pany at this University. This company has provided color guards for all ROTC battalion and regimental parades and for all home Uni- versity football and basketball games.

Pershing Rifles' main function is drill. For the last two consecutive years, members of Pershing Rifles have won the best drilled sophomore award on Honors Day.

The size of this company has varied over the years. Its membership is now approxi- mately one hundred and fifty cadets.

The Arnold Air Society began its activities on the University of Illinois campus in 1949. It was then known as the Arnold Society of Air Cadets. In March, 1950, the society merged with two other national organiza- tions to become the Arnold Air Society, an honorary, fraternal organization for ad- vanced AFROTC cadets.

This society furthers the mission of the United States Air Force. To accomplish this, the society promoted a better understanding of the Air Force, closer contact between AFROTC cadets and staff officers.

To aid in this mission, a varied program of speakers, movies, and discussions is pre- sented. By the accomplishment of its mis- sion, the Arnold Air Society aids the Air Force in procuring only the officers of highest caliber.

Honoraries

On nearly every college campus honoraries play an important role through their recognition of students who are outstanding in their respective fields. The various honoraries of the University recognize students who have attained high schol- arship and made notable achievements in a par- ticular field.

Bringing together students of like interests, some of these societies are chapters of national organizations, while others are local societies springing from the University itself. Among the purposes of the honoraries are to encourage schol-

arship, cooperation, friendship, and achievement and to promote leadership, service, research, greater understanding of the subject, and high professional ideals.

In addition to furthering the interest and de- velopment of specific vocations, the University honoraries also provide closer social and profes- sional companionship for their members. These professional associations provide opportunities for application of practical experiences in the respec- tive fields and personal friendships which prove valuable in post-college endeavor.

Religious Organizations

The religious organizations represent some of the most important groups on the campus. Their primary purpose is to fulfill the spiritual needs of the students. Each foundation strives to instill religious values by conducting services, maintain- ing libraries of religious writings, and giving credit courses in religion.

These organizations also serve as cultural cen- ters for the students. Choral groups, forums, dra- matic groups, lectures, and discussion groups all

contribute to the development of the well rounded personality.

Social activities also are furthered by the re- ligious groups. Coffee hours, picnics, dances, and mixers are examples of the many social events sponsored by these organizations.

In the following pages of the Illio appear the religious foundations on campus which represent many religious denominations.

Nebraska

Illinois started the season with a 21 to 21 tie against Nebraska. The Fighting Illini started fast as they received the opening kickoff and marched 73 yards for the first touchdown. Nebraska then came back in the second quarter with two touch- downs and scored again in the early part of the fourth quarter. Then J. C. Caroline broke away for a 73 yard run, and Mickey Bates bulled over for the final tying touchdown.

A lesson in flying by J. C. Caroline

In their first meeting since the 1952 Rose Bowl game, Illinois downed Stanford again by a 33 to 21 score. Stanford struck first on a sixteen yard pass from All-American Bob Garret to end Sam Morley. In the third quarter Illinois tied the score at 14-14 on an eleven-yard pass to Ryan. Stanford took the lead for the last time on a four yard plunge by full- back Jarvis Watson. In the fourth quarter Illinois went on a rampage and scored 19 points to win the game.

Ohio State

At the offset of the game, it was not a question who was going to win, but by what margin Ohio would beat us. Illinois not only won, but beat Ohio State 41 to 20 for its worst defeat of the year.

Kicking to the Ohio State six yard line, the Illini held them for downs. On the fourth play after the punt Bates carried the ball across the goal line. Illinois again kicked off. Shortly there- after Rocky Ryan intercepted a pass on the Ohio State forty-six yard line; only two plays later Bates was again in paydirt after a 41 yard run. Late in the first quarter J. C. Caroline broke away for a

64 yard trot to make the score 21 to at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter the Illini didn't fare so well. Ohio racked up three touchdowns to almost tie the score by the half time, but the Fighting Illini came back in the second half. Bauer inter- cepted a pass and ran it back 27 yards. At this point Mickey Bates took over and cracked over for another score. Illinois next put on a sustained drive of 70 yards. For the last score, Wallace inter- cepted Bolton's pass, and Bates made his fourth score.

Minnesota

Bates and Caroline led the Illini to their fourth victory. In twenty-one carries Caroline averaged 9.8 yards. One carry was for 49 yards and a touchdown. The game was a hard fought battle with the Illinois defense holding Geil to one out of ten passes completed. Bates showed his versa- tility by catching a 26 yard pass for one touch- down, and galloping 16 yards for another. Wallace, too, kept up with the pace by breaking through the secondary for a 22 yard touchdown run. The only Minnesota score was by Cappelleti very early in the first quarter. Illinois was now a contender for the Big Ten Championship.

Syracuse

Syracuse proved to be one of the toughest non- conference opponents Illinois faced this season. It wasn't until the final gun went off that Illinois was assured of the victory. The big Syracuse line held our sophomore backs to small gains. Elry Falkenstein had to take to the air and did so with good results.

Early in the second quarter, Syracuse put on a sustained drive for 71 yards to score the first touch- down. Since the Syracuse line had held our run- ning attack, Falkenstein took to the air and connected with Ryan for a 51 yard scoring play;

the kick for the extra point was good and Illinois led 7 to 6.

On the first play of the second half Illinois fumbled with Syracuse recovering and scoring on the next play. Stan Wallace, to the great delight of the fans, ran 55 yards for a touchdown. The con- version was good and the one point lead looked good, although a little shaky. Then Stan Wallace, who played a great game of ball the entire after- noon, broke away again for a 45 yard ramble and the clinching touchdown.

Purdue

The first quarter found both teams tough on defense. Purdue was able to hold the Illini to little or no gains at all. It was a close game and the ball exchanged hands several times via fumbles. Purdue looked very much like the team which humbled Michigan State the week before 6-0.

Early in the second quarter Purdue was set back to their four yard line on a clipping penalty. Their punt carried out to the Boilermaker 35 yard line where Illinois took over. Bates took a hand off, ran around left end, reversed his field and raced

the 35 yards for the score. Miller's conversion was good and the Illini led 7-0.

Illinois received in the second half and started to roll. Purdue got only five plays in the third quarter, but Illinois still failed to score. The fourth quarter was about the same except that Illinois capitalized on the breaks and scored two more touchdowns to put the game on ice. The first was set up by J. C. Caroline with three running plays which put the ball on the one. Elry Falken- stein carried it over from there. The last score came on a 39 yard pass from Lindbeck to Nosek which again put the ball on the one yard line. Lindbeck pushed it across and the game ended soon after, 21-0.

Michigan

Michigan scored early in the first quarter when they moved to Illinois territory and Lou Baldacci booted a 35 yard field goal.

Illinois then started their long drive from their own 25 yard line. Caroline taking the ball nine of eleven times advanced the ball to the Michigan 17 yard line. Two plays later Bates went around right end for the score. Illinois' other scores came on a 95 yard drive in the second quarter and a 44 yard drive late in the third period. Bates cracked the line from the four to score. Final tally showed the Illini on top, 19-3.

Illinois started with a 73 yard drive, climaxed by Ken Miller blasting his way over the goal for a touchdown. From then on it was Wisconsin's Alan Ameche, who set up touchdown after touchdown. The Wisconsin defense, keyed up for this game, held the Illini to short gains the entire game.

Wisconsin quarterback, Jim Miller, and half- backs Carl Witt, and Lamphere scored the touchdowns. This defeat ruined Illinois' chances for an undefeated season.

Northwestern

J. C. tries to shake a tackier loose

The Big Ten Championship was at stake with this game. Illinois, fighting the Northwestern jinx, came through with a 39 to 14 victory. This win gave the Illini a tie for the Big Ten Champion- ship, although they lost the Bose Bowl trip to a strong Michigan State team.

The Illini recovered a Northwestern fumble in the first minutes but lost the ball on penalties. Then, when three downs later Northwestern tried to punt, the Illini blocked their first punt of the year and By an fell on it in the end zone. In fact the Illinois defense was so tough the first half that Northwestern got only 15 yards in rushing.

Wallace then showed that his performance in the Syracuse game was no accident by racing 46 yards for a touchdown. Ken Miller got two touch- downs. Byan scored again, and Caroline as usual put on the finishing touches by two 30 yards runs and then cracking over from the 10 yard line.

Illinois teams coached by Eliot have given op- ponents trouble ever since genial Ray took over in 1942. His 1946 team won the Big Ten and then trounced UCLA, 45-14 in the Rose Bowl. Again in 1951 the Illini won the Conference and com-

pleted an undefeated season by beating Stanford 40-7 in the Rose Bowl.

Last season Eliot did a fine job when he coached Illinois, overlooked in pre-season forecasts, to a share of the Big Ten crown.

Eliot is assisted in his coaching duties by line coaches Burt Ingwersen and Lou Agase; end coach Bob King; backfield coaches Chuck Purvis and Ralph Fletcher; freshman coach Mel Brewer; and Leo Johnson, who serves as head scout and back- field coach.

Illinois turns cartwheels

Illinois wound up its 1953-54 season by almost beating Indiana, N.C.A.A. defending champions, on their home court. Had they won, the Big Ten would have had a three-way tie for first place. As it was, the three-point loss to Indiana put the Illini into a tie for third place with Minnesota.

Before 11,000 rabid Hoosier fans, the Illini tied the game up with only a minute remaining. Then Ail-American Bobby Leonard drew two fouls and iced the game for Indiana on four charities. It was a hard game for Illinois to lose after having come up from a twelve-point deficit in the first half.

Previously, the season had progressed as ex- pected, with Indiana, the powerhouse of the Big Ten, closely pursued by Iowa's sophomores and a fighting Minnesota five.

Illinois meanwhile, with only one returning regular from last year's team, had trouble get- ting started, losing early season games to Min- nesota at Champaign and to Michigan State at East Lansing. The Illini cagers seemed to blow hot and cold, never really hitting their stride at the beginning of the campaign.

However, after losing to Iowa in January, the team began to display more determination and drive. Led by high scoring captain Johnny Kerr, the squad began to click. Showing a much im- proved all-around attack, they managed to avenge the previous defeat by trouncing the Hawkeyes on Iowa's home floor, a traditional jinx for Illinois.

During the season Johnny Kerr, 6' 9" center, be- came the all time Illinois high scorer when he

surpassed Irv Bemoras' record. Kerr also estab- lished a new single season high for scoring, wiping out Don Sunderlage's old mark set in 1951.

The Illinois attack was rounded out by Bruce Brothers and Paul Judson, two sophomores who developed rapidly through the year, and Jimmy Wright, Max Hooper, Jim Dutcher, and Ed Ma- kovsky, lettermen from last year's team.

Thomson edges McNulty in Big Ten high hurdles

Tracl

Winning almost every meet they entered and completely swamping all their Big Ten opponents, the Illinois track team blazed their way to a terri- fic season both in indoor and outdoor competition.

The Michigan State Relays started off the sea- son on the 14th of February. Willie Williams won the 75 yard low hurdles. Gene Maynard took the 1000 yard run. For a climax, the one mile relay team composed of Gene Maynard, Stacey Siders, Ralph Fessenden, and Joe Corley carried off an- other first place.

A few dual meet records were eclipsed in the meet with Indiana. One of these was John Bauer's winning 52 feet 2V2 inches in the shot put event. Walt Jewsbury set another record in the mile run.

Joel McNuIty

Joel McNulty tied a record by doing the 70 yard hurdles in 8.8 seconds. Dick Wham won the high jump, and the one mile relay team came in first. Final score: Illinois 78, Indiana 38.

Illinois won its next meet with a total of 70Yz points; however, we were pitted against three other opponents, Purdue, Iowa, and Northwestern. John Bauer put the shot for a winning mark of 53 feet 3% inches, the second best mark in Illinois history. Stacey Siders, not to be outdone, ran the 880 in one minute and 53.5 seconds, also the sec- ond best in Illinois history. Willie Williams won the 60 yard dash. He also turned in the best time in the 70 yard high hurdles. Joel McNulty won

the 70 yard high hurdles with the same time he turned in in the Indiana meet, 8.8 seconds.

The Indoor Conference Meet ended with Illi- nois at the top of the list, Michigan second, and Purdue third. Stacey Siders set an indoor record by running the 880 in 1:52.7. Willie Williams won the 60 yard dash and the 70 yard low hurdles. Joel McNulty bettered his time in the 70 yard highs with an :08.5 effort.

The two-mile relay team was the only entry from Illinois that made a showing in the Chicago Daily News Relays. Siders, Maynard, Jewsbuiy, and Trimble covered the distance in 7:39.2 for a new meet record.

On April 18, came the unusual and smashing victory of the season. Illinois crushed California 83 to 39. Illinois broke eight meet records and tied one, while California established four of its own. Illinois won 64 out of a possible 77 points and lost only the 440 yard event. The field events came out

to California's advantage, with Illinois getting only 19 out of a possible 45 points.

The famous Drake Relays really brought the news to the nation that Illinois had a splendid track team. Not only did three different relay teams win, but Willie Williams, Walt Jewsbury, and Joel MeNulty copped the first prize in their specialties.

Michigan State was the next victim of the Illini might, losing 89 to 43. Then to the admiration of

all, Illinois defeated the University of Michigan 79% to 52V3.

Illinois then topped the Big Ten Outdoor Meet with 69V2 points. Their closest competitor Michi- gan ran up 43V2 points. Thus ended the conference season with Illinois the undisputed champion.

Up until this time, Illinois had remained un- defeated. However, in the N.C.A.A. champion- ship, Illinois finished a not inglorious second be- hind a powerful University of Southern California which just nosed Illinois out in several events.

Baseball

Superior pitching and determination of a sometimes undermanned squad were big fact- ors in the season's success. For although they did not rank in the first division in conference hitting or fielding, the Illini, time after time, came through to compile a 17-6 season record and a 10-3 conference record.

Clive Follmer from Forrest had a 6-1 record, and Carl Ahrens from Kankakee had a 5-1 rec- ord. Other regular starters were Gerry Smith from Gary, Indiana, with a 3-1 record and Jim Schuldt of Dundee, with a 2-1 record.

John Sabalasky from Westville was the leading hitter among the regulars with .297. Second place fell to Max Hooper of Mt. Vernon who hit .289. Carl Ahrens, who played third base when he was not pitching, came in third with .288.

Selected for the captaincy of the 1954 squad, Ron Ultes played a regular position in the outfield. All of the University of Illinois students were proud of Bob Moore. He was the first winner of the Walter Roett- ger Memorial Award as the most valuable player. And they were equally proud of the rest of the 1953 Fighting Illini baseball team for their impressive showing in the 1953 title race.

Soon after the conference games started, Illinois sneaked by the opener against Michi- gan State with a thrilling 2 to 1 victory which was pulled out of the fire in the closing inn- ings. At this point, Michigan rolled into town and quickly won the first game of a double header 6 to 1. The second game was a real battle. Unfortunately, the final score read: Michigan 3 and Illinois 2.

Our hopes for the conference champion- ship were greatly dimmed, for at this point Illinois had an overall record of five and five, and a conference record of one and two, with a schedule of tough conference teams ahead.

Then things started to eliek. The batters were coming through in the clutch, and the pitchers held the opposing teams to a few scattered hits. The results: Illinois won its next nine contests. The students started watching the paper for news of Michigan's defeats.

The Minnesota game was truly a great pitchers' battle. Clive Follmer and Paul Giel pitched flaw- less ball for each team, but unfortunately Min- nesota sneaked across one run to win 1 to 0.

Illinois won the second tussle with Minnesota and also beat Iowa in the last game of the season. Luckily Michigan also came through with a loss and the leadership of the Big Ten Conference was all tied up at 10 wins and 3 losses. So for the second time in a row, Illinois and Michigan were tied for the Big Ten title. Illinois was unfortunate in that Michigan was chosen to represent the Big Ten in the N.C.A.A. playoffs.

What is the significance of a gymnastics coach named Pond and five returning lettermen? In 1953, this combination meant a fourth consecu- tive Big Ten championship and second place in the N.C.A.A. finals at Syracuse. In brief, another fine season. Dick Browning, who later won his third national tumbling title with a brilliant 290 score, was ruled ineligible after two meets; had he stayed eligible, an N.C.A.A. championship would have been conceivable.

Captain Bob Sullivan headed the group that Coach Charlie Pond used almost exclusively.

Sullivan was first in the N.C.A.A. free exercise. Frank Bare, captain-elect and most valuable gymnast, finished second on the side horse; Jeff Austin came in fourth on the trampoline. Along with Tom Gardner and Gil Brinkmeyer, these three won letters, earned several lesser N.C.A.A. titles, and collected a host of Big Ten medals.

Coming up next year from the freshmen will be Jon Culbertson, Jamille Ashmore, Bichard Jirus, Ken Stone, and Dan Lirot.

Although they lost their Big Ten Championship, Coach Pat Patterson's wrestlers ran up a creditable dual meet record for 1953 of nine wins, four losses, and two ties. Captain Pete Compton won the most valuable wrestler award with a first in the Big Ten and a second place in the N.C.A.A. meet at Penn State. The Illini captured fourth in the Big Ten Championship matches behind Michigan, Michigan State, and Minnesota. Illinois also made a respectable showing in the N.C.A.A.

Coach Ralph Fletchers pre-season predic- tion that his 1953 golf team would be improved, but not a challenger for the title, turned out to be accurate to the letter. The team, led by cap- tain Don Cassady, won four of their nine matches, three more than last year, and finished eighth in the Big Ten tourney, one step better than in 1952. Golf all around the conference was improved, and Illinois bettered its stroke count fifty-six in 1953. Haynes Hawkins, cap- tain elect for 1954, carded the eighth best score.

Tennis

Hampered by inclement weather which pre- vented anything resembling satisfactory spring practice, and probably even more by a deficiency of experienced players, the 1953 Illinois tennis team finished its season with one victory and six defeats. Coach Howie Braun did a creditable job during a building year, considering that he had only two returning lettermen. These men had only

a year's experience, yet the netmen managed to wind up in seventh place in the Big Ten.

Bill Dankert played good tennis all season in the number one slot. Dankert, who will be captain in 1954, often teamed with the other letterman, Bud Stafford, in doubles. Other letter winners were Stephen Hill, Walt Hulvey, Don MacDonald, and Dave Stewart.

In spite of the presence of a national champion, the 1953 swimming team managed only one vic- tory in its seven dual meets, but showed improve- ment by finishing eighth in the Big Ten champi- onships. Had Jim Pendleton, team captain and All-American swimmer, been eligible during the second semester, coach Al Klingel's Tankmen

would undoubtedly have been more impressive. Most of the individual plaudits went to Bob Clemons, who was selected most valuable and also named captain for 1954. Bob singlehandedly won seventh place for Illinois in the N.C.A.A. meet by taking first in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:00.7, and also won All-American honors.
