Socially con scious persons in progressive organizations can rectify many of the errors in our society; ahd can work toward the ideal of world peace. Mr. Paul Trilling, New York State PCA organizer, also ad dressed the meeting, speaking on the aims of PCA as drafted by the national committee. He pointed out that Henry Wallace in his speeches has endorsed many of the principles -dor which PCA stands.

Coach Jim Peelle was sitting in his office looking over the list of football players !rom which he was to mold a team. There w e ren't any stars or :pture All-Americans among them. They wej\e just a bunch of j fuys that were playing football because they liked it; It was up to him, Jim Peelle, to get the most out of them, d thought of the two years he had spent as an assistant coach- in 1934 and 35. ’ UB had won only two games during each of those years. - He remembered those glor- ious days at Purdue. And how could the he forget the day dur ing his senior year (1933) when he had returned a punt 90 yards. It was he who* had made that touchdown as his team crushed Indiana 27 to 3. The. name of this blocking q u arterback was in the Spaulding Football Guide for making the second longest punt run-back of the year. But this was no time for re collections and day dreams! Now, he had a task before him a task greater than he had ever faced before. W ith only two years experience he had been appointed director of ath- ietics and head coach.

Students voted official support of the group,' a n d e committee- was formed under Paul Mehanie and Maurice Stein to take an active part in the campaign. , , ' PARTY - LOVERS!

W ith but two minutes re maining in the game speedy Paul Missana provided the most electrizing run of the day, by returning Ramilen’s kick from the midfield stripe for a score, the Bull’s last t. d. and his- second for the day. Paul suffered a wrenched leg on the play and was taken from the field. Houser’s conversion at tempt missed, but the crowd was heading for the exits as the teams muddled through the final moments of the one-sided affray.

Even his players would run him down for the mistakes that he would inevitably make. That would be the price of the job. There would be gratifying moments, too. When the team won, everyone would wring his ^and and tell him w h a t a great coach he was. Some would mean it, but many -would be cursing him again on Monday. He looked at the UB record since-1930. In no season had the Bulls won more than two games. They had won but one in 1932. How could he expect to do any better? He, a 27-year- old kid, only two years out of college. The muscles on his jaw bulged as he ran over the plays that had to click if he was to make any kind of a showing at all. When the gun ended the final game that first season, the score was five wins in eight encount ers. Tlhe year following was only slightly less successful w ith four victories o u t of eight starts. During the w ar years of 1943- 45, there was no football played at^UB. But, Jim Peelle knew that he had to continue to build teams. .The Bulls had taken six out of eight in 1942. He had to prove he could do it again. His determination and toil paid off in.l946 w ith only Bucknell and Wayne m arring the record while seven teams had fallen before a fighting post-war eleven. Jam es E. Peelle was bom in Charleston, 111. in 1909, the son of a railroad engineer. When Jim was still a youngster, the family moved further west to Staunton, 111., a town of 6,000 population a few miles from St. Louis. Here the future coach began his athletic career at an early age. As a halfback young Peelle helped his high school team, the Stauntdn “Coal Miners,” through three undefeated sea sons. Although basketball was in its infancy then, Jim played guard all four years. In track he earned his letter by entering the high and low hurdles as well as the pole vault and the BURY'S DELICiTEUEN Ice Cold Beverages Ice Cream Shelf Crqceries 3400 MAIN STREET Formerly In Kenmore KEATING'S GULF SERVICE Gas, Oil, Accessories And Minor Repairs Across From Tfio CsmfMit At 3384 MAIN STREET Coach Jim Peelle relay. D|uring his senior year ’he placed in the Missouri Valley Invitational Meet in high hur dles and pole vaulted 11’ 10”. His best sport, baseball, re ceived little recognition since the school h ad no team until his last year. He had learned to play by catching for the village nine. , ' Football scouts from Purdue didn’t notice his baseball per formance, however, and gave him a scholarship on the basis of his gridiron standing. The Illinois State Journal had nam ed him to the all-state football team that year. At Purdue Jim was to conti nue his athletic career. In 1931 he got his. letter as a sophomore quarterback w ith a Purdue team that took the conference title that season. During his college years he piled up a record of running back punts for an av erage of 26 y ards per try. Track failed to attract him after his freshm an year because of duties in Lambda Chi Alpha F raternity house, w here he earned his room and board. But, when the um p ire yelled, “B atter up,” Jim was on hand, work or no work. As a left field er he never batted under 300. Attem pts to convert him into a shortstop and second baseman and to change his batting stance prevented him, he claims, from getting the most out of the game. Academically, Jim Peelle'w as no slouch either. Majoring in physical education and history, he m aintained a better than “B” average during his last two years. His coaches never had to worry about him being in eligible because of grades. He was graduated in 1934 w ith a B. A. The following Fall.he came to UB as assistant coach of foot ball. Since then he has been a man w ithout spare time. Each year he makes 50 to 60 talks before local clubs and other or ganizations besides his admin istrative and coaching duties on campus. In addition to keeping abreast of the sports world, he finds tim e to read Coronet, Life and Reader’s Digest. Coach Peelle is a member of the Rotary Club and has been m arried to a ' S tate Teachers graduate since 1937. He has three children: Jimmy, 8, Dav id, 5 and Penny, 6 months. The Peelle family has resided at 55 Claremont Ave., Kenmore, for the past'four years.
