Norway, in 1797, a Joseph Gurrington died at the age of 160. His
oldest son at that time was 103; his youngest was nine. Another au­

in connubial bliss for 147 years. John died at the age of 172; Sarah
at 164. Gueniot, a member of the French Academy of Medicine, re­

From Gueniot also comes the following
story. On July 31, 1554, Cardinal d’Armagnac, passing on the street, saw an
eighty-year-old man crying at the door of
his own home. When questioned, the old
man answered that his father had given
him a beating. Surprised, the Cardinal ex­
pressed a desire to see the father. An ablebodied man of 113 was presented to him.
The old man explained he had beaten his son because he showed lack
of respect for the grandfather, whom he had passed without greeting.
When the Cardinal entered the house, he saw a third old man—of
143 years of age. ^

A promising golf season is in the
offing, as Coach Art McComb has
already laid plans for the organi­
zation of a team. A schedule of
nine matches has been completed,
and from all appearances it should
entail some stiff competition.
As soon as the weather permits.
Coach McComb will start the try­
outs. These will be held on the
local country club’s course. Eigh­
teen holes will be used, and, to
qualify, entrants will be required
to make the circuit with at least
a 90.
Since golf will be the leading
sport of the spring season, a large
number of candidates are expect­
ed to sign up. Those who have al­
ready shown their desire to try
out riy signing are: W. Buzzard, J.
Sicklesmith, E. Osborne, C. Berg,
A. Juliano, E. Carnahan, A. Lucia,
M. Evanoff, F. Stroebel, A. Gaber,
p. Jones, L. Lucia, and B. Owen.
Those persons who are interest­
ed in trying out for the team and
who have not already notified Mr.
McComb are urged to do so as soon
as possible.

Soccer Adopted
As Varsity Sport
This past season some soccer en­
thusiasts took it upon themselves
to organize a team and even suc­
ceeded in playing a brief schedule
with fairly great success. Next fall
will see the game added to the
campus as a full-fledged letter
sport. A schedule has already been
drawn up, with five other colleges
comprising the season’s opposition.
Practice will commence soon af­
ter the opening of the fall term.
All men who are returning and
who are not out for football are
urged to come out. Previous soc­
cer experience is not required.

Mike Dzvonar Refuses
Pirates* Baseball Offer
By LOU PLOCH
Allegiance to college sports with
its code of non-compensation was
the reason given by Mike Dzvonar,
freshman history major in the sec­
ondary curriculum, why he has
not accepted an offer for a tryout
with the Pittsburgh Pirates base­
ball club. Mike, a three-letter man
while attending Aliquippa High
School, has decided to stay in
school and continue his promising
college athletic career. The Pir­
ates’ loss is Edinboro’s gain.
For the last seven years Dzvonar
has been a star player on topnotch teams both as a civilian and
as a serviceman. Mike was leftfielder and leading hitter for Nat
Lippe’s Aliquippa High, Beaver
County, championship nines in
1940, 1941, and 1942. While play­
ing for Aliquippa, Mike was a
consistent
.300 hitter — good
enough for any league. Basketball
and football letters were also
awarded in high school to the ver­
satile Mike.
Played With Service Outfit
A Navy veteran of the Pacific
campaign, Mike did his Stateside
playing for the Camp Parks, Calif­
ornia, team. Overseas Mike played
with the same aggregation of ath­
letes at Pearl Harbor. He tended
the “hot corner’” for the Gobs and
batted in the clean-up position.
Although Mike’s team was often
pitted against teams boasting maj­
or and minor league players, it
came through the campaign with
a good record.
After being discharged from the
Navy last Spring, Mike played left
field for the Neville Island entry
in the fast County League of
Pittsburgh. Mike relates that his
top sports thrill came while play­
ing for Neville Island against
Crafton in the game that decided
the first-half championship of the
league. With two men on base and
two out, a Crafton player belted
a ball for what looked like a sure
home run. Mike ran back to the
fence and, while leaning over it,
snagged trie ball for the final out
of the inning. Old-timers at the
Crafton park said it was the finest
catch ever made there.
Although Edinboro will not
field an official team this season,
Dzvonar is keeping in shape by
playing on a team composed of
E.S.T.C. athletes. Last fall he play­
ed halfback on the Red Raider
football team. Later on, Mike was
a regular guard on Sox Harrison’s
1946-1947 basketball quintet, scor­
ing 108 points for third rionors
while playing in all of the Red and
White’s fifteen games.
Upon graduation, Dzvonar hopes

The 1947-1948 football schedule
has been released, with the open­
ing fray scheduled at home on the
27th of September, a week earlier
than the opener of last season.
The schedule differs from that
of last year in that Westminster
has been dropped, and two new
colleges, Findlay and West Liber­
ty, have ,been added to the list.
The addition of these two plus one
open date brings the schedule up
to eight games instead of the usual
six.
The program should keep the
team on its toes, for games have
been scheduled for every week
from September 27th to November
15th:
