THE MIDDLEBURY GAME An underdog Norwich football team,

mauled mercilessly on four previous Saturdays, surprised an alumni home-coming assemblage of 3,000 by holding a highly favored Middlebury eleven to a 12-to-0 decision on Sabine Field Nov. 1. The delight of Norwich fol-lowers over the unexpected outcome was matched in intensity on the Mid-dlebury side by chagrin over failure of the Blue team to produce according to advance billing.

Scoring two touchdowns in quick succession early in the second period, first on a straight power drive 65 yards down the field and again after the en-suing kick-off from their own 43, the invading Panthers appeared during those few minutes to be on their way to another one-sided victory at Nor-wich expense. All subsequent efforts of the Middmen, however, sputtered into frustration in the face of inspired play on the part of the determined, though outclassed, Cadets.

Johnny Corbisiero, powerful Middle-bury fullback, scored both touchdowns, the first from one yard out and the second from the three. This 185-pound battering ram also paced his team's running attack with a total of 112 yards on 19 carries. Corbisiero had a strong supporting cast in three other ball toters, Jack Mulcahy with 77 yards on 17 tries, little Casimir Bar-quin, who netted 55 yards, and Homer Ellis, good for 45 yards.

SEASON'S FINAL GAME Nov. 15—St. Michael's at Burling-

ton. This contest will be played on the

University of Vermont's Centennial Field.

The victors laid the groundwork for their initial score late in the first frame when they launched a march from their own 35 and plowed through the Norwich defenses on big gains by Barquin and Mulcahy, with a 10-yard chunk thrown in by Corbisiero before he went over from the one on the first play of the second period.

The next kick-off by Norwich was returned 23 yards by Barquin to place the ball just short of midfield. This time the race to the second score was activated by Corbisiero, Mulcahy and Ellis before the touchdown was regis-tered from the three by Corbisiero. One of the jaunts by Ellis in this spree was good for 26 yards, longest run of the day with the exception of a similar gain made in the second half by Cor-bisiero.

Norwich looked best on attack at the start of the third quarter when Jack A'Hearn returned Middlebury's kick-off 24 yards to his own 36. From that point the Horsemen made three successive first downs to reach the enemy 29 before yielding possession. That advance, best of the day for the Maroon, was sparked by A'Hearn, Jack Janiak and Nick Psalidas.

Trying seven passes, the Horsemen completed only one for four yards. Middlebury fired two, and both were grounded. For the entire contest, consequently, only four yards were gained via the airways. It is interest-ing to note, too, that only one penalty was imposed during the game—a five-yard levy against Middlebury for ex-cess time in the huddle. Total yards gained overland by Middlebury came out 313 against 76 for Norwich.

Late in the third quarter Middle-bury launched a drive from the Blue 28 and advanced to the Norwich eight

P A G E 2 N O R W I C H R E C O R D , N o v . 1 4 , 1 9 4 7

as the final frame opened. Two big gobs of yardage by Corbisiero, one for 26 yards and the other for 16, were the main factors in this trip. With first down on the Norwich 13, however, Middlebury ran smack into a stiffened Maroon defense. Barquin was held for no gain, Corbisiero made five and then Mulcahy was thrown for a two-yard loss. In desperation, on fourth down, the Panthers tried a forward off the pitching arm of Mulcahy. The Horsemen knocked down the flying pigskin and took possession on their own 10.

Following a Cadet punt, the visitors started another offensive push from midfield. This time three successive first downs carried them to the Nor-wich 16 as the game ended. Again Corbisiero was the big gun. Two of his thrusts were for 10 yards apiece.

THE MASSACHUSETTS GAME

From the Boston Globe Overpowering an injury-ridden Nor-

wich football team, the University of Massachusetts won its third victory of the season, 39-0, at Amherst Oct. 25 before a homecoming crowd of more

ONLY LOWELL RANKS LOWER THAN NORWICH

With the 1947 football season draw-ing to a close, Norwich ranked next to the bottom among New England small-college teams in the Williamson rating system. Whereas before the war the Horsemen were near the top, now they have dropped so far down the rank ladder that only lowly Lowell, whom the Cadets beat in their opener, rests on a lower rung. Here are the ratings of 22 New England teams through October:

1. New Hampshire 81.1 2. Wesleyan 81.0 3. Trinity 80.0 4. Maine 76.3 5. Amherst 75.3 6. Connecticut 75.2 7. Bates 74.2 8. Rhode Island 73.8 9. Springfield 73.3

10. Vermont 70.9 11. Massachusetts 70.5 12. Tufts 70.2 13. Middlebury 70.1 14. Coast Guard 70.0 15. Bowdoin 69.1 16. Colby 67.8 17. A. I .C. 63.0 18. Northeastern 62.7 19. Williams 61.6 20. Worcester 58.0 21. Norwich 55.5 22. Lowell 43 7

than 4,500. The Statesmen scored in every per-

iod except the third, when the Horse-men made their most determined de-fensive stand, and the home boys had little difficulty in running up 23 first downs to the Horsemen's four. The winners gained 325 yards over the ground against only 27 for the weak-ened Horsemen. They also were su-perior in passing; their aerials netted them 106 yards to 29 for Norwich.

A pass intercepted by wingback Evan Johnson, Easthampton sopho-more, starting his first game of the season, launched the first Statesmen

N O R W I C H R E C O R D , N o v . 1 4 , 1 9 4 7 P A G E 3

drive from the Massachusetts 30. The score came with fullback Dick Lee of Worcester carrying over from the one-yard line after he had alternated in carrying with Hal Feinman of Brighton.

Thereafter, the Horsemen, with most of their touchdown material on the sidelines with injuries, offered little op-position, and the Statesmen scored three times in the second period and twice in the fourth.

It was a particular field day for Steve Gilman of Maiden who, relieving Lee at fullback, went over three times himself. His best effort came in the last stanza when he broke through his own right guard from the Norwich 18 for a touchdown jaunt. Feinman, sophomore halfback, also contributed in the same period with a 10-yard gallop through his own right tackle.

Arnold Dubois, a halfback replace-ment, got into the scoring column in the second period, doing most of the sparking in a drive which started from the Massachusetts 42. Guard Bob Raymond booted three placements.

The summary: Score by periods:

Massachusetts 7 19 0 13—39 Touchdowns—Lee, Gilman 3, Du-

bois, Feinman. Points by goal after touchdown, Raymond 3. Referee, Mc-Grath. Umpire, Dunn. Linesman, Farrell. Field judge, Berry.

FRESHMEN LOSE BY BIG SCORES

There had been hope that the cur-rent Norwich freshmen football team would send valuable material to the varsity in 1948. That expectation was rudely treated as the Rooks met the freshmen of St. Michael's and lost, 38 to 0, and then bowed to Middle-bury's first-year men, 26 to 0, in games played in October. They will oppose Vermont on Sabine Field Friday after-noon, Nov. 14, to close their three-game schedule.

Rodman Doremus, '22, Once Mason's Helper, Now Top Executive

From Construction Methods, national engineering magazine

Outstanding among those hustling young fellows who spark construction activities throughout the world is Rod-man B. Doremus, executive vice-president of F. H. McGraw & Co., Hartford, Conn., and New York City, with branch offices in Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Chicago, Gary, Ind., Middle-town, O., South America and the East Indies. Of the $300,000,000 contracts the McGraw Co. has completed since it was founded in 1929, Doremus has been in responsible charge for more than one-third of the total. He is recognized in construction circles not only for his administrative ability but also for his engineering skill.

Born in Newark, N. J., Nov. 4, 1899, Rod started his career as a riveter upon graduating from nearby Hackensack High School in 1917. In 1918 he re-ceived an appointment to West Point, but turned it down to join the Army as a private. He ended up in the S. A. T. C. at Norwich University, and switched to Stevens Institute after the war. In 1921 he left school to work for John Wherele & Son, Hacken-sack contractor, as a rigger. Turning to real estate as a mortgage property inspector, he entered business for him-self in 1927, but a year later went out with the real estate crash. Meanwhile, he pursued his technical education by correspondence and extension courses and by 1940 considered he had re-ceived the equivalent of a formal edu-cation.

Doremus started his first real con-tracting experience in 1928 as assis-tant chief engineer for Jos. Kinzley & Co. of Hackensack, but four years later the firm folded up. Rod worked as a stone mason's helper and concrete laborer for a year, and then fortunately joined F. H. McGraw & Co. in 1933

as a timekeeper on the job of convert-ing the New York Club into an office building for Schenley Distillers Corp. Here his abilities were recognized, for he was rapidly promoted to assistant general superintendent before the job was finished. He then became super-intendent on numerous projects in New York and Pittsburgh for the next seven years.

In 1941 he went to Bermuda to rep-resent McGraw in building the huge naval air base there, and while on this job was appointed vice-president of the company. Bermuda was one of the outstanding off-shore installations started with the defense program and finished during the war. Doremus had to contend with all the vicissitudes of supply, labor, fast schedules and numerous revisions, but he turned out a most credible performance that later won him the Navy Civilian Award for Meritorious Service. He also had a big part in McGraw's other two big war contracts, the Jayhawk Ordnance Plant and the Reynolds Alloys Co. rolling mill at Sheffield, Ala.

At the end of the war Doremus was named executive vice-president, and as such handles all administrative func-tions of the fast-expanding McGraw company. Keenly interested in con-struction procedure, he keeps in close touch with job operations

Construction progresses under the leadership of men like Rodman B. Doremus. And the construction world is going to hear more of this fellow in the future.

JOE TANSEY, '29, NEW MEMBER ATHLETIC COUNCIL

From the Winchester, Mass., Star Joseph J . Tansey of Canal Street,

former Worcester High School all-around athlete, has been appointed to the Norwich University Athletic Coun-cil by William H. Adams, '21, president of the Norwich General Alumni As-sociation. He will fill the unexpired term of Mr. Adams who has resigned.

Mr. Tansey, after starring in ath-letics in high school, entered Goddard Seminary where he continued his ath-letic success. Matriculating at Nor-wich he was one of the mainstays of the Norwich line for three years, cap-

taining the team in his senior year and being generally considered one of the Vermont institution's good linemen during the late Twenties.

Mr. Tansey taught for a short while after graduating from Norwich at Clark School, Hanover, N. H., and then went to Wentworth Institute in Boston as a teacher-coach. He is now athletic director of the institute as well as coach of football and baseball, and his teams have made good records. He has the background and sports in-terest to fill his new post well.

Mountain Training Program Provokes Laudatory Comment

The Armored School Fort Knox, Kentucky

Record Editor: I have meant to write you for sev-

eral months to ask you to change my mailing address. After about a year of civilian life I came back into the Army and have been here at Fort Knox since that time.

The following paragraph is extracted from the Army Ground Forces Wash-ington News Letter:

"HORSES TO SKIS: With the passing of horse cavalry, one of Ameri-ca's great ROTC schools, Norwich University, Northfield, Vermont, long noted for its excellence and specialty in Cavalry training, is making plans to switch to skis and snowshoes with courses in mountain and winter war-fare. The university's president re-quested the change in curriculum and a subsequent survey by CG, 1st Army, indicates courses can be conducted. HQ AGF has followed up with de-tailed recommendations for the new program."

This impressed me as being a very fine piece of Norwich publicity in a very appropriate spot. I thought if you had not already seen it that it might be of interest to you.

Boston Post editorial NORWICH HONORED

To think of Norwich University, in Northfield, Vt., converting from a famous cavalry school to a training ground for "foot-sloggers" is as much of a shock as it still is to many people to see New England farmers out in their fields loading hay on a motor truck. It's just another indication that times change, and that the poor old horse is still losing ground.

Nevertheless, Norwich, which has

Class of '32 for secretary. I will mail him the list of addresses and other paraphernalia. I think it was con-clusively proven that a change is need-ed when there was not one member of the class at last June's commencement, which was our 15-year reunion. A little action on my part might have stirred up some interest; someone must undertake to make hotel reservations, etc.

Norwich men are few and far be-tween out here. Jim Robertson, '33, stopped in last spring. He is living in Portland, 300 miles away.

What is the outlook for polo at Nor-wich since the Army has done away with the game? Norwich without horses would not be the same place.

You can list me as one more Record fan; keep up the good work.

Mr. Bate included the following: To answer your question relative

to the future of polo at Norwich, I am pleased to report that we have 49 horses stabled here at the present time, and we are planning a polo team for the current college year. How long the Army will permit us to retain these mounts we do not know, but it ap-pears that they will remain here this college year at least. We all hope that our new mountain training will provide the War Department with good reason to continue horses at Norwich.

I spent eight weeks this summer on duty with the Air ROTC at Keesler Field, Mississippi, prior to coming out here. While I didn't meet any alumni around there, I met plenty of people who had served with Norwich men and had been informed of Norwich and her record.

My correspondence is pretty far be-hind these days due to the fact that I had a considerable response from the article about me which appeared in last spring's issue of McCalls Needle-work Magazine. Unfortunately, the editor cut the part of the story which told of my Norwich experiences.

The purpose of this letter, however, is to dispense with some information long delayed. On August 6, 1947, my wife, the former Sylvia D. Foresti, and I became proud parents, for the second time, of a daughter, Cynthia Marie. Our first, a boy, Rodney Ed-ward, was four in October.

On Feb. 14, 1923, she was married to Capt. H. D. Campbell, U. S. Marine Corps, and left immediately for Haiti and Santo Domingo, where her hus-band spent the next two years on duty. Their daughter, Marilyn, was born in Santo Domingo City in 1924. Their son, H. Denny, Jr., was born in San Diego, Calif., in 1926. Mrs. Camp-bell accompanied her husband, a Nor-

BAY STATE PAPER COMMENTS ON ADDRESS BY TRUSTEE DAVIS

An editorial from the Holyoke, Mass., Transcript

We have sometimes wondered, as we looked over the array of trustee talent seated in the front rows at col-lege graduations if it would not be a good idea to conscript some of them as commencement speakers. At least it would break up the monopoly that scholars have as speakers.

Something of the kind was done at Northfield, Vt., at the annual fall convocation exercises for Norwich University students. The speaker of the occasion was a Norwich trustee, Deane C. Davis, who happens also to be chief counsel of the National Life Insurance Company, with headquar-ters at Montpelier. It was the open-ing of the 129th year at the famous old military college. Mr. Davis had an original idea to offer and toss into the debating ring.

"For the next quarter of a century, at least, we are going to live under a system which will make it pay to have a real education," he contended.

"I say this," he explained, "because I am convinced that in the years just ahead the ratio of reward which society will apportion between personal ser-vices and for the use of capital will be quite different. Capital has lost its dominant position in the age-old strug-gle between capital and labor. Here-after society will reward personal ser-vices of all kinds more and capital less. I am not attempting to justify this condition; I am merely stating a fact. If it is a fact, then it is a fact of great interest to college men, because it is my belief that there will never be a form of government constructed which will not reward the able man more than the man of less ability."

"In the old days," the speaker point-ed out, "the accepted way of providing security was to build up as large an estate as one could to leave to one's dependents. That will be an impos-sibility for many of us in the days

DR. EDWARD WARNER IS NEW TRUSTEE

Election of Dr. Edward Warner of Montreal as a trustee of Norwich Uni-versity was announced last week by President Dodge. The new member of the Norwich governing board is president of the International Naval Aeronautics Organization, formed last April to foster the development of air transportation throughout the world.

Educated at Harvard and the Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology 30 years ago, Dr. Warner later taught aeronautical engineering at the latter institution and became assistant sec-retary of the navy for aeronautics in the late Twenties. Subsequently he was identified with numerous aviation activities. Norwich gave him an hon-orary degree in 1938.

ahead. There will be no more Henry Fords in America for a long time to come. High taxes will reduce savings and the low interest rate on capital after it is saved will return an inade-quate income for our families.

"The best form of security for our children in the days ahead will be to give them the best possible education within our means to fit them to do some kind of work in some field which ministers to the basic and fundamental needs of society. The real security will be to develop young men that are a little above the average. These will be the men who will share the greatest percentage of society's rewards in the days ahead."
