s ps N tr l If v J LJ l ETF ABLE? j- Di 31' 3 CT VARSITY BASKETBAL A FTER a slow start, Varsity Basketball fortunes looked up the point where the team found itself in a final game against Trinity, competing for the League championship. Unfortunately the Uni- corn hoopsters did not quite make it, losing by a mere two points after leading by one at halftime. It wasn't quite the desired finish, but it did exceed almost everybody's pre-season expectations. Coach Kevin Daly worked with a small nucleus of very talented players, supported by a rotating cast of extras, depending on sickness, detention and foul trouble. Center Glenn Robinson, forward Leon Kin- loch and guard Danny Rodriguez composed the heart of the team, and these stalwarts were usually supported by Robert Buehler, Barrett Lester, Neil Bader, and Timi loukowsky -the only ninth grader. The season opener against Lenox was dropped to a one-man show who bucketed 31 points in the second half, but there was little excuse for dropping the next contest to St. Bernard's, 63-62. With Kin- loch out on detention, Rodriguez and Robinson simply could not match the entire 98th Street team. Next came the giants of Buckley, who averaged 5'11 with skills to match. With only one hobbling ninth grader, the Unicorns were no match and the game was a joke: humiliation on the home court, no less! Ll-E sLI.E1i,l L E7 ECE VARSITY BASKETBALL - back row: Buehler, R.

Seplow Abrams, G. Zuckert, M. Penn lV SOCCER V SOCCER suffered through a dish- eartening season, winning only one game while losing five and tieing one. The lone victory came over Browning, as Edmund Kleefield scored on a penalty kick. This year the large squad was organized into A and B teams, and in many instances both teams played simultaneous games with their opponents. Some of the finer A team players throughout the season were Edmund Kleefield, Marc Blair, and Greg Zuckert at forwards, while Eric Cliette and Tonio DeVido starred at de- fense and blocked many enemy shots. Opposition was provided by Buckley itwicel, St. Bernard's itwicej, Browning itwicel, The Day School Qtwicei, and Town School. Overall the opposition seemed considerably stronger that A-S, despite the large turnout for soccer. Next year Coach Daly hopes to have more seasoned regulars for his A team, as well as to bring the season record up to a winning one. With the considerable fifth grade talent this year, there seems little doubt that he will do just that. As most will still be in middle school, the lVs will lose very few players to the Varsity, as so often happens. ,N ...wg ,, ---r 'rib nf W,-PW ' tg -A Tw? ,J 'K- wik - .14 -4 we Eltu..-'t'.

The eighth grade squad fwhich meant THE squad this yearl opened its season with a fine showing against Browning for its first league game. Kinloch, Robinson, Rodriguez and even Buehler were in double figures! Next, on the eighth grade schedule, came the home court contest with an untested squad from the Day School. Again the Blue 84 Gold completely dominated the action up and down the floor, and Robinson 1205, Rodriguez 1293 and Kinloch U73 de- stroyed the opposition so that the subs could pour in. Soon thereafter Dalton became the next victim, as Kinloch, Robinson, Rodriguez, Inc. rallied in the second half to pull out 45-35 win. The next day came the re-match with an improved Day School, but the Big Three came through with a shattering total of 68 points to ice an easy victory. ' Once again R, R 81 K got together to handle a scrappy Collegiate squad in an important League contest. Scoring 73 points, R, R 84 K were simply too much for the westiders. With plenty of League victories under their belts the Unicorns confronted an unbeaten Trinity team for the League championship - to be played in the bandbox which passes for a homecourt gymnasium on 78th Street. 56 LLE 33 grzvziifsni,
