Ken Lieberthal, who over- and backhanded his way to captain's stature this year, led the inexperi- enced netmen under the white-sneakered tutelage of Coach Peter Harrity. BILL WINBURN STEADIES HIS IRON FOR A SURE BIRDIE. Every year in early spring Warde's golf team aban- dons the backyard's draped canvas driving range and puts aside Middlecoif's Doctoring Your Golf in favor of the real thing. This season Brooklawn Country Club, Warde's home links, trimmed its greens and roughened its roughs for the best of downstate opposition, as Coach Stone marshalled his forces to insure another winning season. Bill Winburn and Charlie Bitzer, returning let- termen, readied woods and putter to lead a squad gener- ously sprinkled with promising underclassmen.

Vigorous dashes, distance runs, and field events effect top-condition alertness, not to mention the stimulation that comes from per- sonal achievement and team success. Spectators likewise insist there is no time for languor while they're dodging errant discus and shot. Co-captains Bob Lake and Al Bennett, veterans Dan Harris, Nial Neger, Floyd Okenquist, Walt Ruby, and Ed Zelle, and new recruits strove to com- bine the ability of the hare with the determination of the tortoise. Ten foes were willing to wager our boys would fail. The results are now history. COACH GAUDINC WARDE ...... WARDE ....., WARDE ...... WARDE ...... WARDE ...,.. WARDE ....,. WARDE ,.....,.....,...

WARDE ...... ................. D ARIEN Co-captains Jack Flanagan and Ray Vlader led WARDE '-- '- ''--4- - DANBURY Warde's varsity nine, which was bolstered by the re- turn of eight veterans ofthe State Tournament squad of two years ago. Junior Jerry Zacchia brought a .350 batting average into the '60 season. Seniors Ted Skola, pitcher, Glen Englander, outfielder, and Howie Ratner, sterling factotum, engaged in early season wind-sprints and calisthenics to prepare for the alumni game, the season's debut on April 9, at Owen Fish Park. Coach Jackson expressed optimism that Warde's ball-and-glove Eagles would better their 9-9 record in their eighteen Donnybrooks played home-and- home. Larry Gill, Joe Vige, Hank Babe, and Curt Helgren graduated from the jayvee ranks to strengthen the varsity and make the Coach's proph- ecy more probable.
