The Jesuit Tradition
Jesuits and education. These two words combined denote excellent preparation for young people anywhere in the world. Jesuits and their lay colleagues seek to bring to full
expression the talents of young people within the Christian tradition in their schools.
This has been the case in Washington since 1821, when Gonzaga’s venerable predecessor, the Washington Seminary, was founded. In 1858, the name changed to Gonzaga College when President Buchanan signed the Act of Congress incorporating the school legally. Then, the school was located on F Street, N.W. It moved to North Capitol and Eye Streets, N.W. in 1871. Throughout that whole time, the school sought, and seeks, to help young people grow towards religious, intellectual and social maturity.
Committing itself to a downtown location in the 1960s, Gonzaga serves a uniquely diverse student body, from all points of the compass. Students come here, and with the best advice and help, construct their own schedule of learning which will best help them develop their strengths. These include, for our students, commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ, dedication to academic excellence, personal service to other people, especially those in need, and deep and fulfi lling involvement in sporting and other co-curriculars.
The Spirit of GonzagaAt Gonzaga there is a tremendous sense of
community; all Washington knows that Gonzaga students are outstanding, spirited, special persons.
Because of Gonzaga’s amazing location, her students are on-the-scene participants in the cultural, intellectual, and political happenings of the Federal City. More importantly, students come to Gonzaga from every part of the entire metropolitan area. Increasingly, they use Metrorail to nearby Union Station; many come by Metrobus, commuter rail and carpool.
Gonzaga students learn from one another. They are intellectually talented and racially, economically, geographically, and socially diverse. Gonzaga’s spirit embraces them and brings them all together in a caring, warm community where they meet other students who will be among their closest life-long friends.
Academic ChallengeGonzaga offers outstanding academics. Gonzaga
students work hard to complete a sophisticated academic program in which they learn how to understand the thoughts and achievements of others as they learn themselves to think and achieve. They learn to read and write effectively, to appreciate and create beauty, to understand that people are wonderfully diverse.
Gonzaga students study and apply mathematics until they are at home with abstract and logical thinking. In Gonzaga’s acclaimed science program, students become scientists as well as humanists. Gonzaga graduates enjoy an intellectual balance because they have studied deeply in various subjects.
At Gonzaga, students grow increasingly responsible for their own learning. Gonzaga teachers—intellectually and humanly competent and experienced men and women—care most deeply

that their students grow and learn. They stress in each course skills which will last and support further learning. And they are warm, friendly people whom students comfortably seek out for needed help.

W ith the opening of the fi eld in 1973, Coach Joe Kozik is remembered as saying that for the fi rst time in 100 years Gonzaga could play a football
game at home. In actuality slightly more than 50 years had passed since Gonzaga’s campus had been the site of a home football game.
In 1871, Gonzaga moved from downtown to its present location on Eye Street. Little more than St. Aloysius Church, the rectory and Kolhmann Hall, several hundred feet west of the rectory, had been built. The only other structure on campus was the original Gonzaga Hall. A towering, wood frame structure built to hold parish fairs, it was dismantled at 10th and F Streets NW and reassembled behind Kolhmann Hall, where it stood until 1909.
Gonzaga’s students took up football in the late 1880’s when there was ample room to play the game on campus. That would remain the case even after the new Gonzaga Hall, today’s auditorium, with its “gymnasium on the lower level,” was built in the late 1890’s.
The fi rst twenty years of the next century saw continued expansion. In 1903, the “Gonzaga School,” today’s Cantwell Hall, opened as the parish grade school for boys with several hundred pupils in attendance. (The grade school, founded around 1860, closed in 1963 due to dwindling enrollment.)
Today’s main building, Dooley Hall, was constructed in 1911. Considered an ultramodern facility, it had steam heat, electric lights and spacious classrooms. It also included the large, new gymnasium, today’s wrestling room.
Beginning in 1917, plans were drawn up to replace the deteriorating and overcrowded Notre Dame School for girls which stood on the east side of North Capitol Street. Entry into World War I delayed the project, but in 1920 the school opened to 500 or
so girls in what is today called Ruesch Hall. The team continued to practice on campus through 1928, but after more than 30 years, the football program no longer played games there.
In 1925 the Jesuits concluded that new athletic fi elds were needed. Parishioners were organized into teams to raise $50,000 to acquire land for athletic fi elds.
In 1929, Gonzaga Field opened on Benning Road NE, just east of the Anacostia River, and three miles from the school. Seating for 3,000 fans was installed. The Interhigh’s Business High School Stenographers
were the fi rst opponent on what for the next twenty-one seasons was the school’s home fi eld.
Originally remote, in time residential development came to Benning Road, particularly during World War II. In team pictures from the 1940’s, houses can be seen encroaching on the fi eld. In 1949, the city initiated condemnation proceedings to seize the land to build River Terrace Elementary School, which stands on the site today.
After closing Benning Road, Gonzaga acquired land from the University of Maryland and
announced plans for new athletic fi elds adjacent to the newly constructed Northwestern High School in PG County. No further record could be found to explain why the fi elds never materialized.
In the years that followed, Gonzaga football endured a nomadic existence travelling in old school buses to whatever practice fi elds could be secured. For many years, practice was held on the Mall alongside the Refl ecting Pool. Over the next 23 seasons every game was played on the road.
Beginning around 1970, the city demolished the houses that occupied the block south of the school, including all of those on Defrees Street. It would be several years before Buchanan Field opened, but after more than 50 years Gonzaga football was home again.

“Coach” Joe Kozik, a 1939 Penn State graduate, arrived at Gonzaga in 1942, having spent the previous year teaching at Bladensburg High School in Prince
Georges County. During his fi rst year at Gonzaga, Coach was a teacher, head basketball and baseball coach, and the assistant
to head football coach Bo Richards. In 1944, Coach assumed the head coaching responsibilities for football and over the next eight seasons, led the Eagles to Catholic League championships in 1944, 1945, 1946, 1948 and 1949. The 1948 team appeared in the inaugural Interhigh-Catholic city championship game, losing to Central. The following season, the Eagles defeated a high scoring Wilson High School team for the title. In 1952, after being named Athletic Director, Coach stepped aside as football coach. Coach retired in 1994 and passed away in Dec 1995 at the age of 81.

G O N Z A G A - S T. J O H N ’ SF O O T B A L L G A M E H I S T O RY
EAGLES FOOTBALL 2010 / 23
W hile the two schools both played football as early as 1889, the football rivalry did not take root until 1928.
Games were played prior to that year, but not often or regularly. On October 26, 1928, the teams met at Georgetown University’s fi eld before a crowd of 2,500 and Gonzaga came away a winner, 47-0. Less than a month later, Gonzaga, St. John’s and other prep schools met to lay the ground work for an athletic conference of their own patterned on the public school Interhigh league. From their commitment to league play, shared faith and close proximity to one another, a rivalry was borne.
Before the 1928 contest, Gonzaga had won 9 games. Wins in 1928 and 1929, brought the total to 11 victories without a loss, but in 1930 St. John’s ended that streak by the score of 15-0. Of those eleven Gonzaga victories, scores are only available for the 1908, 1921, 1928, and 1929 contests.
With the 1928 contest and the annual meetings that would follow, the football competition between the two schools, for nearly
80 years located only 14 blocks apart, took on rivalry status. Between 1928 and 1978, a period of 51 years, the teams met each fall. Fifty-three times without interruption, including two
playoff games, they met on the gridiron. Over the consecutive game string, St. Johns earned 29 wins to Gonzaga’s 19, with 5 ties. The overall record, including games preceding 1928, was also in St. John’s favor, 29-28-5. The overall series began with Gonzaga taking 11 straight. It ended with St. John’s doing the same.
In 1979 and 1980, Gonzaga stepped away from a football tradition. Gonzaga needed to regroup. After a two-year absence, the teams met again in 1981. Gonzaga achieved victory and has dominated the second round of pairings. In thirty-one meetings, including two playoff games, over the past 29 seasons, Gonzaga holds a 23-8 advantage. However,
until last season’s dramatic Gonzaga win, St. John’s had won fi ve straight.
As the teams prepare for their 90th overall regular season meeting and 94 th meeting including playoff games, the record stands at 51-37-5 in Gonzaga’s favor, including the pre-1928 games. The modern era commenced in 1928

and includes four playoff games. In that span, Gonzaga has 42 victories to St. John’s 37, with fi ve ties.
PRE-1928
➤1908
Newspaper accounts described 1908 as a “Banner Year for Gonzaga.” The Purple and White achieved a 9-1 overall record. Only the score of the St. John’s game is available, a 10-0 win for Gonzaga.
➤1921
In late October 1921, the coaches met “to arrange details for gridiron game” between the two schools which included selecting the location and the offi cials. Two days later the teams met in what news accounts said would be a “game which should decide the Prep school championship.” The Washington Post reported that:
Both Gonzaga and St. John’s are primed for the honors. Both teams will have their full strength in the line-ups, as the injured athletes of early season games are now in the pink of condition and ready for a hard game. It would take a long search to fi nd a more bitter rivalry between two elevens. In past seasons in every branch of sport excepting football the friendly rivalry has been a credit to the institutions.
This is St. John’s fi rst season in the gridiron sport for a number of years. Coach Eddie Sutton has performed wonders with the material that reported and has them ready to do credit to his tutoring in the big game. On the other hand, Gonzaga has made a formidable showing against its opponents to date, and Coach Jack Sullivan states last night they would be ready to give their best from whistle to whistle.
Gonzaga prevailed that day by the score of 13-6 as “Little Teddy Boucher's individual work proved the undoing of the St. John's eleven” at the old American League Park, the predecessor to Griffi th Stadium. The account closed by noting that the “game was one of the cleanest played in local ranks this season but both clubs played hard football,”
an assessment that apparently was not shared by St. John’s since the teams did not meet again until 1928.
➤1925
In 1925, Gonzaga hired Ken Simondinger, a former star at Holy Cross College, then an East Coast football power, as its new head football coach. Simondinger’s hiring refl ected a policy Gonzaga implemented that year of having its coaches on the faculty. News accounts reported that:
The engagement of Simondinger is expected to mark a new era in athletics at the I Street

school. It is the aim to put all sports on a constructive basis with essential attention toward the development of the underclass material leading to a gradual succession to the varsity teams.
Simondinger replaced Coach “Zube” Sullivan, who lead Gonzaga to considerable success in the fi rst half of the decade. By the mid-1920s, Gonzaga was seen as a legitimate challenger to the public school football programs, which had dominated the fall season since the turn of the century. The long now defunct Devitt Prep, not St. John’s, was widely recognized as Gonzaga’s primary rival for prep football supremacy.
Later that year, Zube was hired to coach St. John’s, but he would not gain a victory over Gonzaga during his time at St. John’s.
OCTOBER 26, 1928 GAME
According to newspaper accounts, the 1928 game would “mark the resumption of gridiron relations between Gonzaga and St. Johns,” after “their relations were strained by four quarters of rough play” in the last meeting.
Now the two teams are on speaking terms again. Interest in their clash today has mounted ever since the managers of the respective elevens scheduled the game. Gonzaga has one of the strongest teams in its history backed by an array of veteran material in its line-up.
Following Gonzaga 47-0 victory, The Washington Post reported that “Gonzaga and St. Johns waited six years before renewing their football rivalry yesterday and judging from the crushing 47-0 defeat Gonzaga handed the Cadets…, it will take St. John’s another six years to recover.”
THE 1930’S – 1940’S
The “Saints” did not wait six seasons; rather, the following year they hired former Gonzaga and Georgetown star Paulie Byrne. The 1930 newspaper accounts reported that St. John’s defeated Gonzaga for the “fi rst time in the twelve years the two schools have been playing.”
Gonzaga would dominate the series throughout the 1930’s and 1940’’s, but would never win in more than three years consecutively. By the 1940’s, the game had taken on such signifi cance that it was moved from mid-season to the last game of each team’s schedule.
Between 1930 and 1949, Gonzaga had won 13 of 20 games against fi ve losses and two ties. But as the 1940’s came to a close, a turning point in St. John’s football fortunes occurred. In 1947, the school hired Joe Gallagher. A late 1930’s St. John’s graduate, Gallagher had been a highly regarded football and basketball player. In his fi rst season, the Cadets defeated Coach Kozik’s Eagles. That win interrupted Gonzaga’s string of consecutive Catholic League titles between 1944 and 1949. Gallagher would coach St. John’s football for 21 seasons (and basketball for many more).
THE 1950’S
Throughout the 1950’s, St. John’s established itself as the team to beat in the Catholic League. The 1954 teams tied at the end of the regular season, but St. John’s won the playoff, 2-0. With it came the right to play the Interhigh All-Stars. Only the 1955 and 1959 Eagles were able to get past the Cadets and claim the Catholic League title.

GONZAGA AND ST. JOH N’S – H ISTORY OF A RIVALRYGONZAGA AND ST. JOH N’S – H ISTORY OF A RIVALRY
In 1955, Gonzaga beat St. John’s and advanced to the city championship to play Cardoza, the fi rst of the historically all-black public schools to play in the title game. The game ended in a 6-6 tie.
In 1959, the Eagles defeated the Cadets to end the regular season and bring about a three-way tie among themselves, Carroll, and St. John’s for the Catholic League regular season title. Over a period of six days, the Eagles won the season ender with St. John’s, participated in a round-robin playoff that failed to determine the City Title game representative, won the right to represent the league based on the drawing of a slip of paper, and then played a rested Interhigh champion, Eastern. Gonzaga closed the decade with its second City Championship by the score of 7-6.
Over the course of the decade, St. John’s won 8, Gonzaga 2. The teams tied twice, once in the 1954 regular season and then again in the truncated 1959 playoff. Gonzaga played in two City Title games, while St. John’s played in seven, winning fi ve. The balance of football power had shifted from Eye Street to 1225 Vermont Avenue NW and then in 1959 to St. John’s sprawling new campus on Military Road.
THE 1960’S
The 1960’s were an even more diffi cult time for the Eagles. While enrollment waned on Eye Street, St. John’s enrollment on its Military Road campus was well over a thousand boys. The results of the football series were similar to the previous decade: St. John’s won 7, Gonzaga 2, with one tie.
THE 1970’S
In the 1970’s Gonzaga struggled to survive not just in football, but as an institution. That struggle is refl ected in the record against St. John’s. St. John’s won all nine games, many by extremely lopsided margins. Between 1947, Gallagher’s fi rst season, and the end of the series in 1978, St. John’s amassed 25 victories to only six for Gonzaga (with three ties, including the 1959 round-robin playoff) During this period St. John’s was led by only two coaches, Gallagher and Donnie Waldron, who took over in 1968. Waldron’s teams were on an 11-game winning streak at the end of the consecutive game series.
At decade’s end, Gonzaga, which along with St. John’s had created a prep school league 50 years earlier, dropped out of league football competition to rebuild under newly hired Coach Mark Gowin..
SINCE 1981
Two seasons later, the Eagles were back in the league and the record against St. John’s refl ects the Eagles’ changed circumstances as Gonzaga has won 23 of the 31 regular and playoff games since 1981.

S U M M E R 2 0 1 0SPEED, AGILITY & STRENGTH PROGRAM
Beginning the last week in May and continuing through the last week in July, the football program undertook its most
ambitious summer conditioning program to date. Over 80 athletes participated. In June, Gonzaga appointed Milton Yates as its fi rst ever Strength & Conditioning coach. Coach Yates immediately developed and implemented a separate program for incoming Freshmen which ran throughout the summer transition period.
July 2010 was reported as the hottest month on record, yet on average between 40 and 50 players participated in the daily sessions while managing work, service trips and other obligations. At the end of the nine-week cycle, participants were tested across a range of speed, agility and strength measurables. The 2010 top performances will serve as bench marks against which current and future players can gauge their results.

EAGLES FOOTBALL 2010 / 29
W ith just over two minutes to play and the score tied at 28, St. John's advanced the ball to
Gonzaga's 16 yard line. On fi rst down, the Cadets handed the ball to Charles Brown, who had run over and around the Eagles all game long. This time he was stopped for a fi ve yard loss by inside backers John Marvin (2010) and Luke Miller (2012). On second down, St. John’s quarterback dropped back to pass, but was pressured to move up in the pocket by the blitzing Marvin and Miller. As Jake Ruffi ng (2010) closed on him, the quarterback fi red a strike to his 6’2”, 235 lbs, tight end, who caught it at the 14 yard line.
Linebacker Matt O’Donnell (2012), 5’9”, 166 lbs, overtook the tight end from behind, stripping the ball as he pulled him to the ground. The loose ball was picked up by James Valeiras (2010), who had earlier set up Gonzaga’s fi rst touchdown with a 33 yard reception and scored on a 91 yard punt return in the second quarter. Eighty-eight yards later, escorted a good portion of
the way by a sprinting Coach Rozier, Valeiras stood in the end zone. After Kenny Abod’s (2011) kick, Gonzaga led 35-28.
In the remaining two minutes, St. John’s would march the length of the fi eld, score a touchdown, miss the extra point to tie, execute a successful on-side kick, and drive to Gonzaga’s 23 yard line. On the next play, the Cadets ran again, but nose guard Chris May (2010) shot the gap. Along with Gabe Free (2010) and the every present Marvin, May dropped the ball carrier for a fi ve yard loss.
With time running out, St. John’s went to the air, but their quarterback was forced to throw off-balance as Miller again applied the pressure. Kevin
Hogan (2011), playing safety, jumped high in front of the receiver at the 6 yard line to intercept the ball. One snap later, Hogan took a knee and St. John’s fi ve year run of victories was over in one of the most exciting games in the history of the rivalry.
