Fourth row: Finncran MJ., Morton, Dietz, Finneran ,l.., Slatofl, Strobel, liowal, This year, Winter Track at B.M.1. was highlighted hy several excellent performances. These performances, combined with the uni- fied efforts of the team produced a winning percentage and a greatly improved squad. Mr. Hartpence and Nr. U'Brein were at their usual high in coaching. They guided the team through four meets, taking two from Mt. Holly, one from Peddie, and losing a tough one to a very powerful New Brunswick team. The main highlight of the season was turned 2 in by ,loc Dietz as he flashed across the finish line in a record half mile time of 2:0117 at the state meet. Dietz, who had been improving all season, gave it his best and shattered several state and track records with his electrofying run. But Dietz was not the only one to steal the show, as the fleet footed cadets, captained hy Roger Spivack, showed great competitive spirit and the will to win. A few of the other out- standing cadet runners were jose Diez, Tom Sitton and Carl Strobel.

The team won one match and lost two. P.M.C. marked the first shoulder match, and the cadets pulled through with a decisive 913-840 victory. Two meets with Admiral Farragut followed. Twice the B.M.I. marksman fell before the shots ol' the Navynlen by scores of 912-860 and 904-880. In each of the regular shoulder matches, eleven cadets fired. The five highest scores on both teams were taken and totaled. The first five was usually headed by Bob Bennett, the captain, Amerman, Markel, Bartholomew and Neroni. Other close competitorswere Apple- baum, Staley, Mezaros, Hagen, ,lohnson and Szyjan. Although the squadlhad several postponed meets, the spirit was high, and the leadership and direction of Captain Eriksen excelled. The basic ideas of good sportsmanship were also very well observed. In all we can certainly feel proud of the accomplishments of our 1955 Rifle Team. E93
