JV13aAlzeIballf The purpose of any iunior varsity team is to build top ballplayers for the future. Mr. Lynn Spanfelner's junior varsity basket- ball squad was certainly no exception. These sophomore athletes formed a closely knit, high-spirited team of top contenders ready to fight against any competition. Their 12-6 season record was the result of hard team playing and a trio of top scorers. Led by Bill Maier, Tom Brown and Bob Greco, the junior varsity kept up a strong offensive each game. Both Coach Spanfelner and his team are proud of their fine season and especially of their 51-35 upset win over Roslyn. With the playing experience the boys gained this season, they will certainly be valuable assets to the Carle Place varsity in the seasons to come. Grace, form and accuracy Bob Greco 4 x , or .

JACK SHELLOCK AL PASSANO Game winning strategy in the making The 1957-1958 Green and White basketball team had a highly successful season, with sixteen wins and two losses. Led by Harvey Kreskey, the Frogs were undefeated in regular season play except for two losses to league champion, Manhosset. In four pre-season warm-up games, Carle Place beat Farmingdale and Plainedge two times apiece. Against Plainedge, Carle Place scored 109 points, the highest point total in the county this year. ln league competitions Oyster Bay, North Shore, Roslyn, Bethpage, West- bury and Island Trees were conquered both home and away. Very few will forget the second North Shore and Island Trees games in which Carle Place emerged victorious in overtime play by the respective scores of 52-51 and 63-62. This record qualified the Frogs for a berth in the Nassau County Tourna- ment with Freeport as the opening opponent. In this game first Carle Place and then Freeport jumped off to fairly big leads. At the end of regulation time the score was tied at 53-53. In the overtime session Freeport scored a few quick baskets and held on to win 60-57. lt has been a fine season for a fighting team in its second year of varsity competition.

Bmeballf Low and fast Prelude to a basehit Marv Lazerson Ron Strasberg The 'I957 baseball team was headed by Coach Kenneth Dunn. Even though we' won but three of the games played, the team did fulfill all of Coach Dunn's expecta- tations. Frank Imperial led the team with a batting average of .384 and 9 runs batted in. Al Passano drew 'I7 walks and was an excellent fielder. The pitcher of the year was undoubtedly Bob Imperial, who led the team to two impressive victories. The first was a I6-O no hitter against Wheatley and second was a 9-'I victory over Island Trees. Neil Kerness chalked up the other victory by a 5-2 score against Island Trees. The team had it's main strength in Juniors Ken Leighly, Matt Zeikel, Carl Schubert in addition to sophomore Marvin Lazerson, Al Passano and others. The valuable experience gained last year portends a victorious season in 1958. ,ga ,Xi .Q 5 - E Q ,,:-.
