lV BASKETBALL F IFTH and sixth grade basketball had set the goal of an undefeated season for the lV team, as Director Kevin Daly had promised the boys a round of free pizzas if the season's record was unblemished. Unfortunately this did not come to pass, but the squad did have a winning record, and Coaches Tobolsky and Wojo were most pleased with the outcome. The team featured two hot-shooting guards, Colin Hagen and Craig Kallman, coupled with two for- wards who often hit well from the baseline, Duke Thrush and Kevin Keels. The first game came against St. Bernard's however, and underscored the team's shortcomings: defense and rebounding. Although the Unicubs hit for 46 points, St. Bernard's scored 70 in what must have been the highest scoring 1V game ever. Next came the Day School game, which finished regulation time tied at 19-19. Overtime was agreed upon, but a tired A-S team could not hold on, losing 27-24. The next game boosted Unicub egos, as Cathedral was drubbed 51-5 and all the subs got to play. With the starters well-rested, the team whipped Browning 47-41, in a game not nearly as close as the scoremight indicate fall the subs playedl. The season closed on a high note: a 52-1 drubbing of hapless Birth Wathen, as everybody fattened his season scoring totals. l Ki' iv-.....,'l 8 l l ,. X., 1-4:--.,..,-mf? ..-...-.

1 14 H fi Q-X their first lines even though far ahead. The sea- son's final Varsity match came against Rippowam, and while the Unicorns got generally solid defen- sive work from Evans and Willie Duryea, it was not enough to stem the Rippowam tide. Hilliard and Rabbit tallied as A-S lost 4-2. Certainly the bright spot on the season was the 2- 2-1 seventh grade excursion to the Harvey Tourna- ment, where Rabbit put on a one-man MVP show not to be believed. Supported by brother Brian Shampoo johnson and Peter Briger, Clinton led all scorers with 13 goals and 2 assists while also playing defense when the second line was on ice. Gallantly jimmy Sinclair, Larry Siskind, and Stuart Thompson - supported by Tony Couloucoundis at wing and jeff lenoure at defense - bought time for the first string to rest. Rabbit, however, never left the ice except for a few brief stays in the penalty box! St. Bernards and King School were slaughtered, while eventual tournament winner Rumsey Hall was tied, 3-3.

BASEBALL S URPRISINGLY enough, the Varsity Baseball team enjoyed a fine season, creating problems for over-rated opponents. Because of the lack of ninth graders fonly threej, the talent was made up by underclassmen, who made up the bulk of the team. Coaches Landis and Wojochiechowski - Wojo for short - looked forward to an entertaining season. The first contest was against Buckley, the Uni- corns' traditional rivals. Ace moundman Timi lou- kowsky pitched a strong game, allowing only 2 earned runs, but the A-S bats couldn't touch Buck- ley pitching, while falling apart in the field to make numerous errors. This game proved that batting practice ought to be included in each day's work- Out. The official season opener came at home against Trinity last year's League champions. Sparkling fiel- ding capped with a double play got starting pitcher Colin Hagen off the ropes in the first inning, but Trinity's southpaw also retired A-S batters through the first three innings. Two runs scored by Trinity in the fourth and fifth proved to be significant as time ran out. The baffled squad bowed in defeat 2-O. April 27, found the eigth grade again on foreign turf playing Browning. But this time they went home with their heads high. Apparently the oppos- ing pitcher didn't have very much stuff that day as everybody hit, stole, caught, walked, drove in runs,
