1. Bogert, T. Baker, R. Wigglesworth, Coach, F. Delaoutre. Hopes were high for the first season of the Babson ski team as the roster of skiers was re- viewed in january. The team coached by Bob Vifigglesworth, an enthusiastic racer, who unfor- tunately tore a tendon at Christmas, was com- posed entirely of freshmen and juniors. The team started the season off on the right ski by winning an invitational slalom race at Intervale, N.H., sponsored by Bentley College. Co-captains Jeff Bogert and Ted Baker, both juniors, compiled the fastest times for the Beavers and bought the team to its first victory over the five other colleges present. The season consisted of nine races which were held in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The events were slalom, giant slalom, and down hill, and at each race the eight best Babson skiers competed against the eight best skiers from Bentley, Worcester Poly Tech, Lowell Tech. St. Anslem's, Bates, Wind- ham, Merrimack, Harvard I.V.'s, M.I.T. I.Vfs, New Hampshire College of Accounting and Commerce, and Nasson College. The highlight of the season was when Skip Keenan, a freshman, came in second out of eighty racers, in a giant slalom at Suicide Six, a mountain in Vermont. Besides the skiers al- ready mentioned, freshmen Francois Delaoutre and Bruce Hutchinson were members of the team. Probation hit the team hard since some of the best skiers at Babson were not able to partici- pate in the races. Plus the fact that crash', Baker went into the woods practicing for a down hill and Ieff Bogert had trouble with his bindings at the beginning of the year. All in all, it was a Hbuildingi' season for the Beavers. In the words of Coach Wigglesworth, I am looking forward to an excellent season next year since we will have all of our lettermen re- turning plus many new skiers who could not come out for the team this yearf' 1 SKIING

Brandeis Clark Holy Cross Bates Tufts Bentley Colby Stonehill Under the tutelage of Coach Ralph Cham- bers, Babsonis tennis team had a successful season, although posting a four and five win-loss record. This season was highlighted by the play of Captain Chris Brooks at lst singles where he has won eight matches and lost one. Steve Kroll at 2nd singles had a six and three record playing as a freshman against strong competition from juniors and seniors from other schools. Steve Wood at 3rd and sometimes 4th singles has made the difference in many matches this year with a five and four record as a freshman. Since Brooks is the only graduating member of the team, Coach Chambers will have a fine core of players returning mostly from the fresh- man ranks. Juniors Mickie Krupp and Carl Todt along with freshmen William Eber, jo Maak, Bob Patkin, Steve Wood, and Steve Kroll will be giving it their best to achieve another success- ful season.
