-tx 6' lla f VOIONMAA a x K .. MW HAWLEY of Auchincloss and Voionmaa accounted for the two Red and Gray scores. The sextet, in their one real let-down of the season, lost at Berkshire by a 6-1 count., as four of the six opposing goals were scored in the first five minutes of play. Having eventually pulled them- selves together, Gunnery scored one goal to Berk- shire's two for the remainder of the game. The first of two games with Ceniterbury was played on home ice and Hinkle gained his first shutout, the final score being 5-O. The second game with Canterbury and the last game of the season, on February 25th, was unnecessarily close, and the Red and Gray managed but a 2-1 triumph. The game at Taft was indeed the prize win of the season. The team fought its way to a 2-0 victory over a highly-favored sextet. Goalie Phil Hinkle turned in a brilliant performance, and john Sche- reschewsky was outstanding at defense. Gunnery scores were pushed in by Auchincloss and Chandler. On February 9th the pucksters fell prey to a stronger South Kent sextet for a second time by a score of 3-1. Trinity-Pawling was easy pickings for the spirited Red and Gray team which glided home to win 6-1. Hawley and Samsonofif both joined the scoring ranks with one apiece. Two days later the team absorbed its only shutout of the season as the result of fine ice play by Choate in a hard and fast 2-0 contest. The sextet battled to its third tie on February 22nd at New Milford, deadlocking Kent 2-2. Chand- ler and Samsonofif were responsible for the two Gunnery goals. The success of the team lies mainly in the hands of the coach and much credit is to be given to Mr. Sturges and his assistant, Mr. Golembeske. The hockey team will certainly miss Mr. Sturges next year, and may he have the best of success in his venture abroad. Best of luck to Mr. Golembeske and Captain-elect john Wright in their coming season. 69 E. AUCHINCLOSS CHANDLER KOVEN E ll -1 4.

KELLOGG WRIGHT I952 HOCKEY REVIEW The 1952 hockey team came through to win five, lose four, and tie three, compiling the best record since 1942. Finishing in fourth place in the League, with a not very impressive slate of one win, two losses, and three ties, the team nevertheless figured prominently, most specifically through their win over the League-favored Taft six, knocking them out of first place to clear the way for Hotchkiss. The team comprised mainly of such veteran line- men as Harry Voionmaa, right wing, Chuck Chand- ler, center, and Ed Auchincloss, left wing, was back- boned by the two returning stalwarts of the defense, Captain Gus Kellogg and john Schereschewsky. Phil Hinkle, a surprise starter in the nets, proved invaluable and added greatly to the team's success. The first game was played on January 9th at Salisbury and the Red and Gray emerged on top of a 2-1 count. The hockey was characterized by typical first-game sloppiness but, though the score was close, Gunnery had the edge throughout. The goals were collected by Voionmaa and Kellogg. The pucksters were up for the next game, how- ever, as they battled Hotchkiss, the eventual League champs, to a 5-3 tie on home ice in a contest of good, fast hockey. The visitors scored two quick goals in the beginning of the Hrst period. By the end of the second period it was all tied up at 2-2, as Auchincloss and Hawley both dented the nets. ln the third Hotchkiss came back with another tally, but Harry Voionmaa reciprocated, again tying the contest into what proved to be the final knot. The team met with its first defeat at the hands of South Kent on january 16th, being downed 5-l. Playing conditions were poor and most of the game was played in a torrent of rain and sleet. The lone Gunnery score was caged by Kellogg on a beautiful pass from Voionmaa. Westminster, next on the list, proved to be an even match as the final score of 2-2 portrays. It was a see-saw battle all the way with Gunnery taking the lead only to have it twice knotted. The final Westminster goal arrived with about two minutes left to play in the game.
