For the ciurrent season these include such rivals as Brooklyn Prep, Bishop Loughlin, Fordham Prep, Archbishop Ste-pinac, and St, Peter's of Staten ls- land. One need only look at the stal- warts representing the Prep to realize that a full measure of success is assured, TENNIS Emu 4 .23 RY SEGERITZ BOB ANELLI J.

We really Won Under the direction of their new coach, Fa Lester DeMott, the Prep Bowling team copped t first pin championship since l948. Father Deli replaced Father Arthur Colby as the KegIer's nf tor. The pinmen opened the season minus services of many of last year's stand-bys. J Mullin, Tom Spina, Dick Sunday, and Bob Mor all had departed, At the half-way mark of campaign, Jack Pellmen and Ray Kearns also parted via graduation. But these men were capably replaced by Sal I faci, John Bergen, Hank Schiefer, Warren Wir and Dick Stanley. The race boiled down to a ti fight between Loughlin and St. John's. When two teams met for the last time, they were with 5l points apiece. But St, John's easily c quered the Lions, 5-O, and went on to cop Championship. il Q - -1 ' 'Mia EE

me SWIMMING In brief, the story of the I95I-52 swimming season is that St. John's swim- mers scuttled all their Manhattan rivals but couldn't outsplash any Brooklyn rival. The Indians brought back to the Wig- wam the scalps of Iona, Regis, Hayes, Rice, McBurney, Columbia Grammar and Dwight. However, St. Francis, Loughlin, and Brooklyn Prep grabbed the tomahawk and scalped the Indians. St. .lohn's finished fourth in C. H. S. A. A. dual competition, However, the Indian mermen took third honors in the team Catholic Cham- pionships and fourth place in the Private Schools Championships. In the Catholics, the Prep swimmers won nine individual medals with Jerry Wood and Caesar Ciri- gliano winning two each. Prep natators carried our red and white colors to two distant points: first, to Princeton, New Jersey where the Eastern lnterscholastic Championships were held, second, to Providence, Rhode Island where Brown University sponsored the New England Championships. In view ot the much larger representation from other schools, the Indians couldn't win team championships at these meets but still they swam off with several individual titles. Our future hopes are high. Only one regular is lost via June graduation: that great competitor, Jerry Wood. The bulk of the present squad are now Juniors and Sophomores and should improve and de- velop next season. Much is expected of the Freshman team that placed second in their league.
