K -.- «M»- BASEBALL-PREP SCHOOL Swish! STEE — rike ' Swing batter Swing! Ya blind! Ya blind! Gib ' im glasses — da ump ' s blind! Swish CRACK! Yer OUT! So it goes; base- ball; catcher needling batter, fans ribbing umpires; pop bottles; cheers and jeers. Concordia opened the season with a 10-1 defeat Pelham High. Hal- stead, a different story, Bohuny ' s fast ball whistled, his slow ball hung in the air, his curve ball snapped across the corners. A no-hitter! Concordia ' s f irst victory. The Clippers downed Newark, and Bronxville, and then — Pelham again And after the final out was made and the totals counted, Concordia had upset Pelham, 9-8. And the Clippers had a 4-8 record at the end of the season. Bruce Bohuny pitched the Clippers to their 4 victories, but not without the help of Bob Lapple, his able backstop, and Dick Duerr, Kenny Miller, Dan Burow, and the .300 hitters, Andy Weyerman, Herbie Muhl, and Ralph Duerr. A good part of the credit belongs to Coaches Dobberstein and Weidmann. 51

BASKETBALL- PREP SCHOOL Concordia was fighting to win its season ' s opener against N. Y. Cathe- dral. In the last seconds of play Bob Lapple scooped up the ball, skirted around his opponents, and flipped the ball through the hoop for two points and victory. History repeated itself a few games later when Prepsters man- aged to snatch a 54-52 victory from Irving. At this writing, two games have yet to be played ; the Clippers ' record so far is 5- 1 0. When the season opened, the Prepsters had only one veteran from last season ' s quintet. Coach Dobberstein had a little trouble in choosing the boys who would make up the first string; Captain Bob Lapple, Dick Duerr, Bruce Bohuny, and Paul Biegner made the grade. Len Kleps, Erwin Williams, and Bill Leonard gave a helpful hand to the regulars. Looking back, many memo ries flash across your mind — the faithful support of the faculty — Concordia ' s lack of pinetrees — the grace and perfection of the twirlers — the hysterical shouting of the Coopsters when the Prepsters went ahead — and the frenetic beating of that big bass drum. • 50

TV 1 l T INTRAMURAL SPORTS Dishelved clothes; aching heads; cramped muscles; throbbing limbs — intramural football. Feet pounding the turf; elbows jammed into stomachs; hands shoved into faces — you ' ve got to win ! The Arabs by skill and strength proved themselves the best. The Deacons and the Pressure Boys fought hard for the last place. The Apaches and the Aggies — well, they were good, but not good enough. In the prep school the Steelers nosed out the Packers and the Giants; then they rolled up a 32-7 score over the Faculty. In basketball the versatile Arabs ran rampart; the Pressure Boys got a foothold on last place. But co-ed basketball was still the most popular sport of the season: Ward House, Ressmeyer, and Koepchen all trying for the trophy. The girls went in for volleyball and table tennis in a big way. Bowling wasn ' t a minor sport either. Spring. The fly-chasers went into action. Softball The same teams, the same faces, the same will to win. Broken windows, and broken bats. A note of credit to Charlie Ertmann, Teddy Moeller, and Bill Ness for their work. • 52
