Rll l,lC-'l'l1e University of Connecticut has concluded its hanner season, chalking up nine wins as opposed to four losses. 'l'his record is hy far the best record of any rifle team in U-Conn history and a tribute is certainly in line for the coach, Captain Lewis, and his ahle assistant, Stal? Sergeant Benson. 'l'he husky marksmen set a new school record for shoulder to shoulder matches with a score of 1362 against Coast Guard. A Besides heating hoth Yale and Harvard in shoulder to shoulder matches, Lewismen ran their string of victories to iive straight over their arch rivals from Kingston. 'l'he team scores were consistently Iiigher than in previous years, and competition was really stiff in such a hot league . Men of the grmvirig lirst team were dropping out of school consistently, hut more candidates came forth and made good and upheld the record of the team. 'lihe team average for the season was hetter than 1350 per match. Several outstanding men were on the squad, and four of their hetter-known memhers are Kluclc, liayreuther, lVIann, and Captain W'illiam Schwenterley. . .

CROSS-COUNTRY-A new coach, Carl Fischer, and a team badly weakened by graduation losses, began the season under the handicap of lack of time for conditioning and practice. The Huskies bowed to a superior Northeastern team and went down to a 39-18 defeat. Bob Bowen, running third, was the first Connecticut man to cross the tape. Still in the toughening process, the Fischermcn dropped the second meet with the lVIaine Golden Bears. They finally hit their strideg the U-Conns broke into the win column with a 33-22 triumph over W.l'.l. Bob Bowen ran a magnificent race, only to falter on the home stretch and finish a scant step behind Don Hollesey, the VV.l'.l. ace. The Blue and YVhite failed to take second place in the annual Connecticut Valley meet at Springfield by a single point from the Red and White of lVIassachusetts. The team took losses in the next two meets, as an injury-riddled team bowed in successive meets to hlanhattan and Rhode Island. The season was brought to a close by the New Englands, where the Harriers finished twelfth. The freshman team possessed many potential runners, and these, combined with the nucleus of the present sea- son's team should give Coach Fischer a fairly well-balanced group for the 1943 season. SOCCER-Opening the season with only a week of practice, the scantily clad Blue and XVhite Booters dropped their first match of the season to their next door rivals, lWass. State, 2 to 1. i Drilling on fundamentals and passwork, the U-Conns came roaring back to trounce Clarke -l-0. Captain Hutch- inson, the diminutive left wing, was responsible for a pair of these goals alone. N - Brown and VVPI both eked out fourth period one point wins over the Huskies and the Fischer chargers dropped another contest to the Cardinals from YVesleyan on a very sloppy and disagreeable day. Riding the rails to Boston, the Blue and NVhite hit their stride again as they completely outclassed and outbooted the lfngineers from M.I.'l'., 5-0, with every man in the starting front line accounting for one tally. Springfield and Tufts both came to Storrs with strong veteran teams and they returned home victors. ' The season was closed with a 3-0 win over the Coast Guard on a rain-bogged field in New London. Cunning- ham. Hutchinson, and Roberg all tallied for Connecticut. Galgowski turned in an outstanding defensive job in the goal and Tuttle set up many scoring plays from his wing position, and at the conclusion of the season these two men were selected to captain the I9-H booters. 13
