From 1939 to 1943, Fr. Juvenal took up higher studies. He received a   Master  of  Arts  degree from  the
University of Toronto in 1941, at¬ tending the Pontifical Institute of Medival Studies at the same time. Laval University in Quebec con¬ ferred on him the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, summa cum laude, in 1943.

Win Hearts of 18,000 in 48-33 Rout of Jaspers
By PETE KEYROUZE
Sports Editor, The Siena News After romping to a 48-33 upset-victory over Manhattan College in Madison Square Garden last week, Siena College's mighty Indians looked forward to stretching their win streak to eight games when they take on the University of Tampa to¬ morrow night in the Washington Avenue Armory. The  LoudonvUle   quintet  downed
Arnold and Champlain Colleges in games at Gibbons Hall earlier this week.
But the highlight of the season was definitely the Indians' debut in the Garden where they won the hearts of more than 18,000 spirited fans with an exhibition of basket¬ ball wizardry.
Backed by 2,000 cheering Siena rooters from the surrounding area, Coach Dan Cunha's inspired forces took the Garden floor as if they liad played there for years and pro¬ ceeded to give the Jaspers the soundest thrashing by either of the teams since the rivalry began in the 1946-47 season.
This story cannot be told ade¬ quately without praising the ever- hustling Metropolitan Club which in my opinion was the principle factor in making Siena's invasion of the Garden a tremendous success. Without its effort and continuous toil to place the name of Siena among the leading cage teams in the nation along with the full ap¬ proval of our dynamic Athletic Director, the Rev. Maurus Fitz¬ gerald, OFM, this historic event never would have taken place.
It was indeed an achievement un¬ paralleled in the annals of Siena. It will be an example very worth¬ while for future students of the school to note.
Under the direction of the Rev. Benedict J. Dudley, OFM, guardian of the Friary and moderator of the Metropolitan Club, the Siena Week¬ end in New York Committee ar¬ ranged a banner program at the Hotel McAlpin.
This gigantic undertaking was headed by Sam Fogler and Tim Horgan, general chairmen. They were very ably assisted by BiU Whalen, Tom Foley, Sal Cascio, George Martin, BUI DeLacey, Andy Davey, Jim Donovan, Vincent Fulco, Charley Parks and Mike Doolan.
In a statement to the student body during the victory assembly Wednesday, Father Benedict praised the untiring work of the committee and added special praise for Coach Dan Cunha and the Varsity. He also stated that the spirit shown by Siena students unparalleled any other venture by colleges in the Garden since the start of the cage doubleheaders there.
