HOCHEY I lt's time for the whistle. The first game of the 1957-1958 hockey season is about to begin. On their toes, every eye on the referee, the team stands ready to spring into action. Thus another eventful year for the girls' major sport has opened. With Lane Brougher as captain, Coach Hurlbrink's girls completed a schedule, which represented one of the most challenging that they have ever played. All of the scores-- four wins, two ties, and five losseswwere not indicative of sweeping victories. But the games themselves gave evidence of a team that showed a type of determination and cooperation which forced their rivals to be satisfied with hard won victories. ln looking forward to next year's group to carry on the tradition set by Collingdale's past hockey teams, Coach Hurlbrink will face a unique situation, in that all of those who held places in this year's line-up will have been graduated. Letter awards were presented to Captain Kathleen Brougher, Florence Iahn, Elizabeth Miller, Beatrice Bartlett, Leona Grady, Doris Gray, Edna Mae Schoening, Dorothy Tom- lin, Elizabeth Lochman, lanet Funk, Thelma Williams, Sidney Miller, Ruth Kirk, Margaret Tillery, Martha Bitterlin, Constance Her- shey, Eleanore Hosfeld, Roberta Shallcross, and Elizabeth McKeown, Manager.

' Undefeated in their first four games, with three wins and one scoreless tie, Coach Mer- cei-'s team seemed destined for high honors in the suburban football conference. But grim misfortune dampened these high hopes, for knee injuries prevented the majority of the squad from playing their most skillful game. It was in the face of these odds that the team met Ridley Township. Here the boys went down to their first defeat. Rain caused the next contest, scheduled with Media, to be postponedy This delay put the team on edge. Havingtsnatched a strongly contested victory from Yeadon, the Collingdale war- riors went down fighting under the rushing attack of Glen-Nor. Much of the success in defeating Prospect Park, the next opponent, was due to Quarterback Ice Quirk's fast playing. 'Thanksgiving Day ushered in the tradi- tional fray with Darby. Lagging with a score of I5-7, a determined Collingdale team emerged at the second half and cleared the way for a touchdown on the kickoff by Cap- tain Eil Stoebe. But all was in vain, for a rallying Darby eleyen scored two more touch- downs. Unce more the dejected Colls went home to a Thanksgiving dinner leaving the victory to next year's team. Lettermen were: Captain Edward Stoebe, Morris Elitzky, Ioseph Quirk, Ioseph Young, Alfred Carlin, Robert Reichenbach, Ioseph De Vito, Howard Meell, Herbert Drueding, Edward Vickery, Walter Mickle, Warren Roach, Russell Lincoln, Charles Lytle, Iohn Ellis, Harry Hettel, Guy Bassett, Mortimer Bye, Manager.

It was lioth thrilling and amusing to watch our comparatively small basketeers match their towering opponents, stride for stride. Led hy Captain lloward Messick, the team had to compensate for disadvantage in stature hy speed and tenacity. During the season Coach lwlessikomer did not limit his choice of players to any given five: for the majority ot' the squad were evenly matched in passing, shooting, and retrieving. Out of a heavy game schedule the boys emerged with victories over Eddystone, Pros- pect Park, Darby, Swarthmore, and Glen- Nor, as well as over the Alumni. Since most ot' these teams were strong and fast, the Orange and Blue representatives may be truly gratified at havingregistered so many conquests. Paxton, and YVilliam Stanton, Maiiager.
