GOLF With three of last year's starters returning and a promising group of sophomore talent, Amity's golf team looks forward to at least equaling last year's second place finish in the Housatonic League. Pos- sessing two of New EI1gland's top junior golfers in senior Captain J im Piccolo and sophomore Ed Day, the Spartans are confident that last year's record of 12-2 should be attainable this year. Coach George Metz feels that the real success of the team hinges on how well returning letterman John Harrison and Pat Birkenmeyer play. If the players, games improve early, the team should be a real threat, not only for the Housatonic League crown, but also in the State Tournament. BOWLING After finishing the regular season in a three-way tie for second place with North Haven and Eli Whit- ney, the bowling team generated a tremendous ef- fort in the subsequent playoff by scoring 1704 pins to Eli Whitney's 1702 and North Havenas 1672. The team record for the season was 26-16. Paul Fraser rolled the highest individual game of the season, a 1418, while Bob Lyon took high three game series honors with a 389. High season averages were held by Bob Lyon, 107, and Captain Richard DeCrosta, 106. Coach George Metz was very proud of the fortitude, spirit, and sportsmanship exhibited by the team throughout the season. Second raw: R. DeCrosta, K. Dworkin, R. Lyons, D. Pitcher, G. Metz, Coach.
