The squad, thus handicapped, managed to win but one meet for the entire season. The Little Three victory against Xliesleyan at the Davenport Courts saw jack Wfalter, Bob Boden and Cruikshank spark the Amherst team in its win. Only eight matches were played against the W'esmen, since one of the mem- bers of the Cardinal team failed to make the trip. In the initial home match of the season Ed Neale, Boden and XY'alter registered victories for the frosh, each going four games. in what turned out to be a losing cause, as the jeffmen lost the first of two scheduled contests to Deerfield. The finial meet of the season saw a strong XVilliams team, fea- turing Dick Squires, National Junior Tennis Doubles champion, lead the hovs from Billvtown to a Little Three freshman crown. The two matches credited to Amherst in the meet were victories hy Dave .Xlesker over Evans, and Ed Neale over Sargent in the minimum number of games. Amherst's top man, Cruikshank, bowed to Squires. john XVheeler, jack XValter, Bob Boden, Bill Banks, Dick Cutting and Dick Lamberton also competed for the ,leflmen against XVilliams.

This year the jeff freshman wrestling squad was hampered hy lack of experience. Although most of his candidates had not done mttch wrestling before coming to Amherst, Coach joe Maras was able to mold a team which won one and tied one in four meets. The season started auspiciously as the Amherst yearlings de- feated Mt, Hermon by a 17-11 score, Starring for the jetTs was Spike Schellenger, who pinned his opponent in one minute and forty seconds. Qther winners for Amherst were john Kunz at 155 pounds and King Taft at 165 pounds. On the following Saturday the freshmen lost to XX'esleyan, 24-10. Schellenger and Taft were the only je1'T victors, hoth pinning their opponents. Against Loomis, Schellenger along with jim Evans at 1311 pounds, Kunz, and Tatt gave Amherst a 16-bl lead. llowever, the visitors captured the last two matches for a 111-its draw. ln the sc-ason's linal meet the jeffs bowed to the XVilliams yearlings in a home encounter, hy a 17-13 count. Both Taft and Schellenger kept their undefeated records intact with pins, ac- counting for ten of the jeff points. The remaining three were registered when Leo Connolly decisioned his opponent in a hard-fought match at the 175 pottnd level. 'T FRESHMAN SWIMMIN liiiliui sl Hyip, 31 lleerlield 4-1- 35 Nlt.

1949-Since 1859 when Am- herst beat Wfilliams in the hrst intercollegiate baseball game, the -lehfs have had an enviable record. Especially since Paul Eckley took over as coach four- teen vears ago, Amherst has been able to hold her own with K N any team in the East. The 1949 team lived up to tradition, out ini 55, , .fum mm of sivteen games the team won eleven, including victories over Dartmouth and Columbia. One of the main reasons for the successful season was the pitching of Charlie Murphy, one of the Amherst baseball stanclouts ot the post-war era. Behind Murphy, Coach Ecltley had an airtight infield consisting of Ez Bowen on first, Dave .NlcNeish at second, Ivar Rosendale at shortstop, and Bill Genovese at third. The hitting and lielding of these veterans formed a nucleus around which Ecltley built one of his best teams. Catcher Dave Cold and outlielders Moose McGrath, Sam Crowe and jake ,lordan were good defensive ballplayers and provided extra punch in the batting order. 1949 llifvtiiiii Rosenii,-xLi3 . liiilierst w 12145 l SCORES Hjvlvoiiciit 4 A.l.C, 2 I2 St, rXlichael's 1 22 Trinity fi rw Bowdoin 4 U XVesleyan 7 n Springiield 9 I6 XVestover Field 2 I tw Tufts fa 5 Wesleyan 0 5 Trinity 1 3 Dartmouth 2 3 Colgate 14 4 Harvard 5 2 Columbia 1 5 Williaitls 7 IH Vililliams I FIRST Row Smith, Cmperiim, flliller, Diinluzr, Qeizuwese, Hergiri, Yordizn, 'H'ucliiliii, Barry SECOND Row Sclelev tfuntlih, 5lltQmIli, 'Wviq I Dinqley, 'l'i'il5on, Cliristeiisoii, Htirnx, Pierce, Cummings, Fisher, Tllillevtflltzmzilerl.
