Resolute Trackmen Emerge From Rigors of Training Track and field, touching nearly all the facets of athletic prowess, is especially pop- ular at Holy Cross. Besides being a test of endurance, power and speed, the competition offers a great variety of events, including sprints, dashes, mile runs, hurdling, relays, jumping, and shot putting. Team requirements are rigid and only the best survive pre-season training. Daily sessions are held with calisthenics, timed runs, innum- erable laps around the track and over the scenic route, covering the entire school property. Training with weights has also been introduced to increase the boys' strength. With rigorous competition before them, Holy Cross's cindermen are determined to make a fine showing for themselves and their school.

Lancer Baseball Fortunes Hinge on Rookies' Success With a twelve game schedule before them, the baseball Lancers began rebuilding the team around a nucleus of returning lettermen from last year's squad. The season was initiated on April l7, with arch- rival Trenton Catholic supplying the opposition for a team well-drilled in all aspects of the game from squeeze-bunts to shoestring catches. Practice sessions held every day, involving ardu- ous running, exercise, and calisthenics resulted in a squad of twenty members with nine rookies eager to improve on last season's 9-4 record. The Lancers boasted a particular strength in the hitting department, with several sluggers promising a good season's harvest of home runs. With the right combination of hitting, pitching, fielding, and desire, Holy Cross can expect a winning season on the baseball diamond. 1 During the tryouts for the baseball team, Bill Schaff- hauser tags out Clement Gross as he slides home. First baseman Bill McManus snags a quick out during an inter-squad game.

First Tennis Team Formed For Varsity Competition Introduced to the sports program in i962 was the first varsity tennis team, taking its place with the other sports in which Lancers participate. The team is a young one, with underclass- men predominating, and a strong one, with several players known in area amateur circles. The racqueteers are well-drilled in the tund- amentals of the game and have been put through vigorous exercises to increase their strength and endurance. These things coupled with the will to win, are expected to provide Holy Cross's first tennis team with a winning record.
