INTRAMURALS haVen't changed much since you last saw lhem. Last fall there were three or four choose-up games of touch football every noon out on the athletic field. As is typical of CHHS, everyone who came out got in a game. When the basketball season started, six teams were organ- ized in the high school, and five teams were chosen in the sev- enth and eighth grades. The high school teams played on Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday noon with each team getting two chances at each of its rivals. The winner of this tournament was the White team captained by Eddie Heit. On it were Don- ald Myers, Eddie Keller, Bob Iacoby, and Vito Franzoso. The Junior High teams, which played on Tuesdays and Thursdays, had as winner of their tournament the Navy team captained by Tommy Giglio. Spring sports were tennis, horse-shoe pitching, and some choose-up softball games. The Croton BASEBALL team of 1944 won all the games played. A non-league team, the Tigers defeated Purdy's, Oss- ining, Pleasantville, and Hendrick Hudson. Outstanding player of the year was Buck Ewing. He passed a try-out at the Polo Grounds last fall for the Giants and received an offer to play on their farm team at Erie, New York: however, he expects to go into the army before next sea- son. He is a right-hander and did most of the varsity pitching. The other pitcher was Donald Meyers. Donald showed quite favorably in the last few games of the season. Zeke Biordi was first baseman on the varsity, while Dick Smolowe and Chuck M utti played that position on the lay Vees. Iohnny Giglio and Iohn Pothast played second, while third was held by Andy Mulhall and' lack Sullivan. Iohn Pothast and lack Sullivan al- ternated as short-stop. Iohnny Giglio and Skeets Gallagher, who is now in the U. S. Navy, were catchers. The outfield was shared by Stuart Sarkissian, Iohn Hof- mann, Ted Weinhold, Tex Fagan, Chuck Mutti, Dick Albert, and Alan Nemlich. O

Their ability and high de- gree ot sportsmanship can be directly attributed to Coach Maxon's tireless and invaluable Work. As last year, Buck EWing's pitching was outstanding. How- ever, Andy Mulhall and Bob McCulloch earned much of the pitching credit also. Behind the plate, Iohnny Giglio and Tony Antiteatro proved their worth, While Eddy Mullady, the Pothast brothers, and Chuck Mutti were hard to beat in the infield. Ted Weinhold who produced several spectacular plays this season, along with Iohnny Hofmann, Red Sullivan, and Dick Elliot upheld the out- field. lfllml. u.JP2 an lit-15 JUNIOR V A It S I T Y BASEBALI TIIAM -Hrs! iovv: 10,111 Westhott, loc Kecirsley, foe l'1o1ilo, Tony l'io1'1to, Hon alrl O'B1'lC?!1, Melvin Snnlh, 1114111111701 Kearsley, l'1'c111c1s Hzinerly, Martin Mal loy, Robert Jacoby, Tony Maloney Angelo Mtilero.
