Tennis e re 2' 5 Q v r HQ Q it YS:-ra-.......iv ,-,,. w,,,4 T N People were talking about this group of ath- letes even before the Canisius Tennis Team stepped out on to the courts for their first match. But what had been celebrated as The Year of the Golden quickly turned into a season that could hardly be called 14-carat. lnexperience, frustration, injuries and disap- pointment all combined to throw a wet blanket over the squad's hopes of retaining their 74-75 Little Three Title and rank of seventeenth among eastern schools. However, 1975-1976 was not without its euphoric moments as any of the Goldens doz- en-or-so fans, who were carried to emotional heights and depths amid a cacophony of giggles and yawns, could attest. Coach Terry lVlcMahon singled out Flick Infanti, Bob Fahey, John lVlil- ler, Bob Duplicki, Ray Witzleben, and Bob Kolarczyk for their outstanding play while the team's Captain, Damian Courtin, singled out himself. At any rate, the 75-76 Goldens can be characterized by an old cliche: Amateur sport at its best.

The high hopes of the 1976 Canisius Baseball Griffins were dimmed a bit when ace pitcher Paul Anthony signed a professional pact vvith the Pittsburgh Pirates, but sec- ond year coach Pete Leo should still have a strong returning cast. This year's squad should be cen- tered around returning lettermen Vinny Guadgna, Nick Silvestri and pitcher Bill Leonard with lVlike Geraci and Harry Vandermeulen providing needed support. With a fevv breaks from the vveatherman, the Griffs should be able to look torvvard to another successful sea- son.
