Cier lcoachl. This year, the B.lVl.l. soccer team opened its season under a new coach, Mr. Harry S. Cier. Although the Little Army booters had a losing season of 2 won, 5 lost, 2 tie, they bet- tered last year's record. Despite the efforts of our most valuable player, Jerry Leshko, a member of the i955 All State team, the team could not manage to run up a winning record. Thanks to our goalie, Andy Zielinski, the games that the team lost were by very close margins. Loss of star fullback, Fred Bingler, and injuries acquired by other starters, de- prived the soccermen of a few more victories. Playing against Lawrenceville School, the Prep School Champs, and Hamilton High, the SOCCER MR. H. CIER Coach Group 4 Champs, the B.M.l, booters put up a very close fight but lost both times by iden- tical scores of l-O. However, in the next few contests, the Little Army soccerists began to roll. They tied the strong Pingry team IO-Ol and Hun School ll-l l. Afterwards, the team began to click while smearing Pennington School by a score of 5-O, and then defeating the stub- born Princeton High team by l-0. After the season, Jerry Leshko was again selected to the All State team l'56l. This was all due to the fine coaching that he receivec from coach Stan Cier and to the wonderfu cooperation that he received from Captair Camelio Craine, Jerry Bojczuk, Mike Szyjar and the rest of the team.

Bordentown Military lnstitute's fiftieth basketball season closed with four losses out ot twelve games. The team was led by Ollie Baker who always scored high in the double figures. Bob Flynn trailed Baker and was also one of the high scoring men on the team. High praise and credit should go to each member of the squad which was com- posed of Luisi, Mazza, Pietoso, Jacopian, De- Masi, Short and Quentz. For the first time since i922 Lawrence- ville was beaten by a score of 62 to 46 which was enjoyed by all, especially everyone who saw the game play by play, When the Little Army team met Pennington they played hard but they lost after a spirited fourth period of play, coming back three weeks later, Bob Flynn and Ollie Baker upset the Red Raiders vaulted machine. Each member of this year's team tried to do his level best under the fine coaching of: Mr. Robert Hoehn, Mr. Marvin Borst and Mr. Albert Verdel. Each game won showed the result of skills developed in practice and the hard work and persistence of each player. Ol- lie Baker was awarded All Prep and All Area honors while Bob Flynn was named to the second teams of both All-Star squads. MR. HOEHN COach VARSITY BASKETBALL The Sword and Sabre wishes to exte congratulations to the entire basketball tea We also thank the Coaches for everyth they did to make our team very successful.
