B., Moser, Coach Conradi, Mann, Bennett, Possiel, Dent. First row: Hengst, Baldwin, Schultz, Seto, Biscontini. The 1952 Rifle Team was coached by S. F. C. Charles R. Conradi. The captain was Daix l-Iengst. In their first three matches they won only one, over New York Military Academy, but showed improvement and promise of better results in the latter matches. Firing was done from the four standard positions - prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing. In each match ten cadets fired, and the best five scores were taken. These five were constantly changing, but they generally were among Hengst, Harlan Baldwin, Russ Seto, Herman Scholtz, Bill Moser, Henry Hartpence, Trent Pettison, and Bill Mann. The rifle team banquet was set for late March, and this year, as in past years, was a huge success. . 1' L . ' 5 gil: O 1:'-I' '1 1.,'- RIFLE TEAM ral , Q . 4 Sv- v I Y i

ARSITY The 1951 baseball team has been the second undefeated team in B. M. I.'s 66 years of baseball history. It is hard to pick the outstanding quality of the team, whether it was the terrific hitting power, the unbeatable pitching, or- the less spectacular catching and fielding, is all a matter of personal choice. It was excellence in all three departments, as developed by Coach Marvin O. Borst and his assistant Mr. H. E. Husker that won the undefeated title for the first time since 1920. The pitching staff consisted of only three men. jack Flurer pitched a no-hitter against Valley Forge and won a total of five games between his regular starts and relief chores. Ed McNeill, who won four games, pitched eleven innings against St. Benedicts, then retired from the game fearing that he might not be able to finish because he was tiring. Flurer got the credit for that one by fanning the side in the twelfth and seeing the cadets rally and win in the second half of the frame. Scotty johnson won three, including a one-hitter against Farragut. BASEBALL How about batters? Well, any team that can pile up scores like 10 to O, 22 to 3, 20 to 0, 16 to 7, 19 to 5, and 16 to 2 certainly has something. Catcher and co-captain, Dick Tindall, hit .490 and was signed by the Chicago Cubs after fifteen major league teams vied to capture him. The other co-captain, Rudy Faust, who had always been a beautiful sight in the outfield, finally found his batting eye and also topped the .400 mark. The team average was well over .300. Defensively they had it when they needed it, with four one run decisions. Perhaps the toughest game, along with the twelfth inning 2-1 victory over St. Benedict's was an 8-7 contest with Peddie School in which the cadets came from a several run deficit to tie up matters late in the game and finally to win in the eleventh. Although not at all a close contest, one of the most crucial was Ed McNeil's triumph over the Columbia Freshmen. Both teams entered the game with eight wins and no losses, and after falling behind at the start, the cadets soon exploded to win 16 to 7. Congratulations for a fine season.
