I I 'l4O Track Review CC0l3DlNG to all available records, the Taft track team of 1936 is the first undefeated track team in the history of the school. This remarkable record is the more surprising because there were but four lettermen left from the strong 1935 team when the squad first assembled this spring. Despite poor weather conditions the team improved rapidly from the first week on This was not a team of record breakers but it possessed real balance Newcomers to track helped fill many of the apparent weaknesses, and several of last year s squad members came along remarkably to surpass even the coaches fondest expectations ur first meet was with Westminster It was a nip and tuck contest from start to finish but our strength in the hurdles plus a victory in the relay gave us a 70 55 triumph The next week we entertained Choate and Loomis in the Ninth Annual Triangular Meet Choate started off with a rush and appeared a certain winner, leading Taft Q4 T3 at one time At this point 5ocks Freeman put us back in the running by winning both the high iump and the pole vault To make a complete sweep of the jumps, Captain Howe and Leathers took first and second in the broad jump and Taft was in the lead, never to be headed again It took the most thrilling relay triumph in years to keep Choate from tying us but the final score read Taft 57 Choate 49 Loomis Q3 We had scored in every event on the program thus making It a real team victory Cn Alumni Day we faced a strong Hotchkiss team Qur opponents beat us on the track but we scored enough points in the field events to beat them their only loss of the year 71 55 Qur regular season closed with an easy 86 39 victory over our former Jinx Berkshire The Berkshire team was weaker than usual this year and we outclassed our rivals in several events Un Memorial Day a small group went to Amherst to participate inthe lnter scholastic Meet there The meet was won by the strong Newton High School team Massa chusetts 5tate Champions and winners of the Harvard lnterscholastics The Taft group placed third scoring 9619 points Such is the brief record of the T936 track team but no short account such as this can adequately tell of the spirit determination co operation and hard work that went into making this season the success that it was l can truthfully say that this was the most remarkable track team lve ever seen Lacking stars, they were a real team in the best sense of that word No finer group of competitors could be found anywhere These boys just wouldnt be beaten R C Adams, Jr THE SCORES a Westminster a t Hotchkiss at Berkshire SECOND TEAM a Hotchkiss a Hopkins 141 Q . .

Three veterans remained from a team which had lost only three games the preced- ing year. Around this nucleus a team was formed from a group of former second team and club boys. All displayed fine spirit, willingness to worlt and the desire to play smart baseball. The first game with Canterbury was a disappointment. Taft in five innings went down to a 6 5 defeat The game was marlced by errors and poor hitting Less than a weelc later however an improved team came baclc to talce their first league contest from Westminister by a WO 3 score Superiority on bases and at bat lcept Taft constantly in the lead An uncoordi nated group of inexperienced players were beginning to show signs of real team play The next league game saw Kent on Roclcefeller Field win 'IQ 5 by virtue of faulty base running and laclc of judgment of the still green Taft outfit ln spite of the fine pitching forthe Morgan School, Taft in the next encounter won by a score of 7 4 This was the first result of a willingness to play smart baseball which matured still more in the Loomis game Taft easily defeated the contingent from Windsor 8 3 ln the Hotchlciss game the score stood thirteen all at the end of the ninth A scoreless tenth was played and Taft brought in one run in the end of the eleventh l-lotchlciss in turn put a man on and sacrificed him to second Then came the climax The next batter lined a drive to left center Atwood coming in on the dead run toolq it over his shoe strings and doubled the man off second a spectacular finish to a great game On Alumni Day a strong Choate team one of the best preparatory school nines in the East came from behind an 8 7 score in the seventh to rout us 14 8, and on parent s Day pomfret toolc us '17 Q though we outhit them TQ 11 and led Q O most of the game The last two games were brilliant victories for Taft in which she turned baclc Berlcshire 8 3, and ended the season by beating Gunnery a team with a splendid record 14 8 l these two games Taft piled up 31 base hits During the past season Taft was represented by a group of willing and courageous boys With little experience they came to be a well coordinated group by the end of the season Excellent spirit and cooperation were always evident These factors drove the team on to become one of the most potent hitting and base running nines in the state As a result Taft has stepped aside only to Choate and is tied with Kent for second place in the Connecticut State Preparatory School Baseball League What started as a mediocre season turned into a successful one Great credit is due Captain Atwood and his teammates for the spirit, the co operation and above all, the sportsmanship they have shown throughout the season BASEBALL SCORES d d d d d d d d d 144 Canterbury Westminster Loomis l-lotchlclss Choate Jr Republic Pomfret Berkshire Gunnery Tit ......r...r.r......,,,..,r... 5 .........,.,.......,,. 6 Tir .,.r,,.,...,.r,......,..,,.r. 10 A Taft .,............,,....... ,,,... 5 Kent ......

I Soccer Review HE Taft soccer team of the fall of T935 was at a disadvantage in that it followed immediately after the unusually good T934 team, only once defeated and perhaps the best we have had in eleven good years of this sport. The T935 season, then, was a bit of a 'fcome downx' from the preceding yearfs record but still it should be rated as gratifying and successful by any fair-minded person, The team breezed through its opening game with Litchfield f'ligh met and overcame stouter than usual opposition from Berkshire, and fell with a thud before Litchfield l-ligh in the return game at Litchfield thus quashing early in the season any hopes of being undefeated The next opponent ard old rival in soccer New l-laven l-ligh proved unbeatable but they knew they had been playing a game after finally emerging T O victors They were undoubt edly the strongest eleven Taft encountered Well played victories over Roxbury at Cheshire and West l-laven fmligh at hcme brought the team to its best mid season form and a thumping victory over the always able Loomis team resulted on November 6 at Watertown The next tvxo games brought the average down Taft was lucky to come off with a T T tie against l-lotchkiss at Lakeville playing on one of the worst days of fog cold and rain ever experienced ard then wound up its schedule by dropping the Choate game in an overtime period T O the first defeat suffered at the hands of our Wallingford rivals since Taft played its first interscholastic game of soccer with them late in the Fall of 19Q5 But all in all five victories and one tie out of nine games played is a good record and constitutes a successful season the writer maintains The team s main strength lay in its deep defense headed by Captain Ely at left fullback ably assisted by pickard and Rawolle who alternated at right full, and by Stothart captain elect for T936 37 at goal The halfbacks Braun plume and Barrow did a good workman like job at all times on both defense and offense The forward line had the usual virtues and defects of our Taft forwards and of most forwards we meet in our games They played hard kept their positions and worked the ball up well from midfield but they could not shoot hard and accurately Like batting in baseball it is a difficult art and takes a long time to acquire As with other recent Taft soccer teams they were well captained and agreeable to work with and got along splendidly together all of which means a lot to a coach and to the season s success C H Shons SCCRES a Litchfield l'ligh a Berkshire a Litchfield l-llgh a t Roxbury a West l-laven l-ligh a Loomis a hlotchkiss a Choate 159 T ft .....,i,.s,..............s.. 5 ' ..,s..,,,4,s,s..,t.
