Finishing with a 8-l record, the Spring track season successfully came to an end. The team was by far a surprise to everyone. Re- turning from the year before were a few var- sity lettermen. Everyone started the season practicing hard and ended equally as hard. One of the outstanding trackmen was Tom Sitton, a senior. Tom participated in four events of every meet. His big event was the 220 yard dash. The other events he quite often captured were the lOO, 440 and the broad jump. Ted Benz also helped greatly in providing a fine record for a prep school track team. A few of the sophomores and the juniors who were faithful contenders and scored quite frequently were: Bob Brenner, John Arthur, John Finneran, George Kowal and Jerry Lesh- ko. We must not forget two of the most im- portant individuals, our coaches. This team would never have completed such a splendid ami.- in-nur:-1 record without the combined help of Mr O'Brien and Mr. Hartpence. Throughout th year these men have put their lives into trac teams of B.lVl.l., and we, the boys who hav composed the team, want them to know hox much we appreciate their help. Thank Coaches!

The fine coaching of Mr. Mar- vin Borst, Head Coach, Mr. Albert Verdel, Pitching Coach and Mr. Howard Husker, Out- field Coach, proved effective in one of B.M.l.'s most successful Baseball Teams. The Little Army team started the season with a bang by beating Burlington High School IO-O. ln quick order Trenton Central H. S. 5-3, St. Benedict's Prep 6-O, Pennington School 4-2, and Admiral Farragut I3-I fell to the mighty B.M.l. sluggers. La ayette College Freshmen stopped B.M.l.'s 6 and O record in a close 4 to 2 game at the little army field. Bouncing back from their first defeat, B.M.l. clubbed Hamilton High School 7 to I. Again St. Bee's and Pen- nington Prep lost to the little soldiers 7-O and 2-O respectively. Valley Forge proved easy for the mighty army team rolling over it by a I5-I score. Hun School put B.M.I. into the losing column again by a meager I to 2 score. Roy Mallane did quite a bit of heavy hit- ting for the little army team. He hit 344, and had 2 homeruns. He was an outstanding in- fielder and did a lot for the team. When the Newark News and the Newark Star Ledger published their all state baseball team selections B.M.l. found three of its out- standing players on it, Lee Elia and Bill Evan- ko made Ist string, while Roy Hallane placed on the 3rd team. The last game of the season proved to bl the most spectacular game of the season. BiI Evanko, B.M.l.'s big right hander, shut ou the little navy 8 to O. This was the only no run no-hit game of the season. The fine pitching department of the littl soldiers was a great factor in their winnin season. The tremendous hurling of Bill Evar ko and Phil Heisler led B.M.l. to I2 and record. Bill Evanko had a record of 6 and I, h allowed 27 hits, I3 walks, struck out 81 an had a E.R.A. .O57. Bill had I no-hitter an I one-hitter. Phil Heisler had a record of 6 and I. l-l allowed I3 hits, I2 walks and struck out 5 and had an E.R.A. of .32. Phil had 3 om hitters during the season. The Batting department was led by Le Elia with an average of 640. He played I games, hit I6 out of 25 times, had 2 hon runs, 3 triples and 2 doubles. Lee was an e: cellent infielder and an outstanding all arou.r player. This was Coach Borst's I6th season wi the little army team. He has a fine record which many prep school coaches envy. He h l4O wins, 3 ties and 67 losses.
