FRESHMA FOOTB LL liitltci sl lll7l7OllL'lllS ll Trinity U tt XY'esleyan 26 ll Nichols 38 li XY'illiams lti The Amherst freshman team of ILP-W operated with one ol the smallest squads seen at this college in years. Coach ,loe Rogers used a TH directed by quarterback Hob Dehlendorf. The pea-green losing streak, which had extended back to 19411, was broken when the Amherst freshmen tied Trinity in their opening game of the season. Though the visitors from Hartford could seemingly do little with the strong Amherst line, the game nevertheless ended in a U-tl tie. Against Xvesleyan the Sabrina team scored their lone touchdown ot the season, though they lost the game, Zo-tw. ichols jr, College later took the toll ot the letfs, 38-O. Though the frosh opened this encounter with two key men out of action, it is doubtful whether anything could have stopped the spirited Nichols squad that displayed the finest passlng N attack the frosh were to face all season. In their final game the Amherst freshmen met a NVilliams aggregation, deep in reserves, at Hitchcock Field. The Sabrina line held well, with Captain Sandy Choate doing a good iob of titifiliuii Cl IOATE, tiuitth ROGERS, mid Illmmger HINRICHS fortitying the guard position, but the more experienced Ephmen proved too much lor the small Jett squad. Midway in the second period a blocked punt resulted in two points for the Ephmen. A tew minutes later a XVilliams drive netted seven points when the visitors recovered their own fumble in the Amherst end zone. Tom Lockie's long runback of the following kickoff went for naught. XY'illiams' linal tally came in the third period, culminat- ing another sustained march. Despite their losing record, the freshman team this year has produced a number of strong contenders for the 1950 varsity. Choate and ,lack Boehm should strengthen the center of the Amherst line, Tackles Connolly and Rounds, halfbacks Catlett and Ostrander, fullback Lockie, end Mahler and quarterback Dehlendorl will all make strong bids for varsity berths next vear.

Despite a statistical advantage of corner kicks and shots, the only Amherst score came when Burnett iarred the hall from the goalie's hands in the third period to tie the game at I-I.

The squad took form after thirty prospects turned out for practice, and 'the early predictions of a potentially powerful team proved correct. ln the opener against Xlffilliston Academy, the -letf yearlings took advantage of their strong otlense and won 2-tl, both goals being placed by center forward Asch Eames, Against the University of Massachusetts the frosh, while remaining unscored upon, racked up three tallies with Eames turning the hat trick. Cn October 29 these same hooters stopped a strong Wesleyan 'bid for a notch on the Little Three Crown by a 2-0 score, The goals were by Edmonds and Spen- cer and the jelis' unscored-upon status was kept intact with a sen- imply 'll'vclnicl, liittitiiaii, E sational save by goalie Charlie Strait in the linal period. flloro, flleslcei, Strait, Limit The freshman cross-country squad linished its season with one win and two losses, taking a second in the Little Three meet. Trained hy student coach Charles Turneburke, the squad man- aged to win only one dual meet. Amherst completely dominated the contest over Wesleyan, placing seven men in the lirst ten. Al johnson placed tirst, and Bill Sayres second. ,lohnson finished the season with three lirsts in as many starts to submit a promis- ing record lor tuture varsity competition. However, the squad did not have the balance in the subsequent places to come through tor the wins. Reporting for the Little Three meet in November, the fresh- man squad seemed to be a good prospect for the Little Three championship by virtue of their decisive victory over Wlesleyan earlier in the year, but the XVilliams harriers proved too much tor the ,letls and took the meet by four points. Amherst iinished second, in front ot X'v'esleyan, again by a comfortable margin.
