Penn Claymont Friends HGCKEY - THE THORQLIGHBREDS STICKS DOWN AND RUSH!!! were the words most familiar to the members of the hockey team this year as the girls fared well under the leadership of Coach McCaus- land, who took over after illness forced Mrs. Daly to give up coaching. It was a hard-fought season, but the Lady Bulldogs emerged with a 3-4-1 record. A highlight was the thrilling, 3-1 triumph over Alexis l. DuPont, a team they had not previously beaten in their three years of membership in the Girls' Suburban Conference. The nine Seniors were the backbone of the team, with Captain Jill Feldman the most valuable player. She and Roberta Becher, offensive players, gave their best effort and were invaluably backed up by Ann Graham, Marietta May, and Jean Woolridge. Fighting defiantly, Elaine Rice, Susan Cathcart, and Diane Dottavio helped goalie Cindy Chap- man protect the goal from on-coming opponents. The prospects for next season are good, for, as Miss McCausland said, There will be six junior letter-winners returning to serve as a nucleus for next yearis team.

STATE C AM S Anxious to make amends for last year's second place finish, Brandywine's 1963 Cross-Country team set a standard unmatched in the state. Under the brilliant direction of Coach Curtis, the Harriers swept past all Challengers to cap- ture the Blue Hen Conference and Delaware State crowns. ln addition, the Harriers defeated a strong contingent from Haverford, Pennsylvania. Establishing a new school record of 11:15, Ed Bell put together the finest individual season in Brandywine history. Unbeaten in ten dual meets and the Conference Meet, Ed missed an undefeated season when an unfortunate fall in the last hundred yards of the State Meet resulted in a third- place finish. Bell's most outstanding performances were victories over P. S. DuPont's Bob Cooper in the dual meet and the Conference meet. Like the varsity, the J. V. Harriers ran spirited races, but they overpowered their opponents even more. Only once did they fail to sweep the first six places in a dual meet, and five of their victories were by shutouts. Spurred on by Bob Bothis record-breaking 12:16 mark, the Bulldog J. V. team swept seven of the first nine places to gain their fourth straight state title.

SWIMMI G: BIG FIRST-YEAR SPLAS ln this, their first year of competition, the Bulldog Swim- ming Team exemplified all of the characteristics for which Brandywine's athletic teams have become famous: condition- ing, spirit, skill, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. Climax- ing their season with a second place finish in the state meet, Coach Davidson's mermen also won three of their five dual meets. The medley relay team of Buddy Williamson, Jay Reed, Bob Graham, and Rich Lyon remained undefeated, capturing first place in the Hstatesf' Juniors Jay Reed and Rick Lloyd consistently finished at the top in breaststroke races. Senior Rich Lyon was the outstanding free-style swimmer, with Soph Rick Burich con- tributing points in the backstroke, butterfly, and individual medley. In addition to swimming like fishes, yelling vociforously, and diving with agility, these boys made the supreme sacri- fice of reporting for practice every morning at 6:1151 How- ever, all of their efforts went for naught, for it was discovered at the close of the season that the team had several technically ineligible swimmers. Demonstrating their sportsmanship, the team forfeited all of their meets and their second-place state title. Next year. the dual meet schedule will be expanded. The Bulldogs should be number one in the state in 1965 for, as Mr. Davidson says. 'losing only a few of our most con- sistent swimmers through graduation and expecting the return of a good number of outstanding Sophomores and Juniors, our prospects for next year are tremendousf, Above: Sophomore medley swimmer Bill Bried leaves the block with the enthusiasm and speed that made him a big contributer this year. He and other underclassmen make next year's pros pects bright. BHS BHS BHS BHS BHS BHS SEASON RECORD 81 14 75 20 69 26 31 64 44 51 2nd place-State Meet Wilmington P. S. duPont Sallesianum Mt.
