A ' fu-H ...am l s P o R T s ' l' l lull we became used to the idea al attending college in olive drab aiul after the wintry blasts had slackened, our thoughts turned toward sports. Before an official sports program had been inaugurated numer- ous basketball and football games were held during off-duty hours. 'lihe first step toward an athletic program was the detachment basketball team organized by Sgt. Al Sloman. 'l'he team, consisting of Axon, Berlin, Ca ilin Deutsch NlVll Schlesin'er Vines lVlur uh' Gar' Cha man Black 1 , , , 7 7 Y Y and jones, in four scheduled games triumphed three times, being beaten by the Lower Merion Police, whom we had beaten in a previous game by an overwhelming score. 'lihe other victims were the Haverford College junior Varsity and an all-star intramural quintet. 'lihe next step was the introduction of football and soccer leagues, with each section represented by one team in each sport. After keen competition Section 7, comprised of jones, Gary, Strutz, Fahnestock, Bookatz, l,eanza, Pangborn, King, Noble, Dunn, and Bomberger, proved to be the champions of the football league as they beat Section 4 in a play-off game for the cham- pionship. Outstanding among the players in the league were jones, Gary, R. Smith, Axon, Madison, Faynor, Lutz, Pierson, Chapman, NNN Schles- inger, Glover, Welty', Nagy, and Darfler. Section 1 won the soccer cham- pionship, just outlasting Section 4, which won its last six games. 'lihe Section 1 team was made up of Klotz, Ebner, Aronson, VVallen, Dodd, Murphy, Becker, Hessman, Warren, Lempert, and Poul. As the Pennsylvania summer began to assert itself and we began to wonder why we had to wear neckties, the softball season got under way. Clad in shorts and 'li shirts we fought for the honor of our various sections. Soon after the start of the competition, it became evident that Section 5 would experience little difficulty in annexing the crown in the Class A League. After losing three out of their first sis games, they won 23 games in a row and breezed to the title. The combination which wrought such devastation was made up of Blackburn, Christian, Axon, Burnett, McGrath, Flaws, Seimert, R. Smith, P. Smith, and Collins. Foremost players in the squadron were: Axon, Seimert, Darfler, Nagy, jones, Gary, Strutz, Schultz, Lutz, Friedman, Madden, Faynor, Santimauro, Powell, Chapman, and XMI Schlesinger. Although the playing in rlie Class B league did not approximate Class A calibre, the competition was no less keen. Section -l ran rough-shotl over all competition to win. Section 3 had the dubious honor of ending the season with a large symmetrical goose-egg in the win column.
