TENNIS TEAM PROGRESSES During the month of February, Cumnock School sponsored a tennis tour- nament with the objective of picking the four best players. As a result, lbbett, Riley, Wilcox, and Glover came out on top after having ploughed through a field of twenty. The first match was played against Black Foxe Military Academy. Cum- nock managed to win: 4-2. Riley, Zuckerman, and lbbett won the singles, Zuckerman and lbbett won the doubles. Two weeks ago, the team encountered a strong adversary in Webb School. The latter had won all eight of their previous matches. Consequently, sad to say, Webb mopped up to the tune of 5-O. However, due to the lack of courts and to oncoming darkness, our men were forced to play singles and doubles without a rest, which rather handicapped the Cumnock side. After this defeat, determined to make a comeback, Cumnock last week beat Black Foxe 3-2, and everyone felt better. Riley and lbbett won both their singles and doubles matches. What Cumnock Tennis Team needs most is hard practice against men more seasoned and-not until then-will there be a team worthy of Cum- nock. ' HUC-H IBBETT IOS

SOCCER For the first time in the history of Cumnock School, soccer was introduced to the masculine students and was accepted surprisingly quickly. The com- mencement of this sport was due to the fact that football was necessarily discontinued because of lack of material after a few weeks of practice. Regardless of the fact that the soccer season started late and that only two of the boys on the team had previously played, the results after several weeks of practice were astounding, the enthusiasm shown was almost un- believable. Unfortunately, Cumnock lost all of the five games played, but this may be blamed on the failure to begin the season on time and on the experienced teams from L.A.l.C., U.C.L.A., and Santa Barbara School, which Cumnock played. The first game was lost to L.A.l.C. 3-l, the second, third, and fourth to U.C.L.A.'s freshman, varsity, and ineligibles at the respective scores of 2-O, 3-l, 5-2. Nine letters were awarded for the season to the following boys: Howard Forster, Dick Cray, Hugh lbbett, Edward Packard, Raymond Shry-Ock, Thomas Vail, Milton Vedder, Al Wilcox, and Marvin Zuckerman.

Coach Vaucher welcomed one of the finest turn-outs of the season. Due to the late start Cumnock played but two games. On February l l Cumnock went over to Black-Foxe. Hugh lbbett captained the team and Arden Day led in scoring. However, Cumnock was defeated by a rather decisive score. Cadet Bunkey Bryan led the victors and scored most of the Black-Foxe points. On February 25 we invaded the Wilcox Avenue Armory again and the re- sults were the same. Cumnock was again defeated. john Gibson captained the team on this campaign and the scoring was rather evenly divided among the members of our team. We have several men returning next year and with an earlier start we should go far toward cleaning up the league. Five boys were awarded letters at the basketball dinner. Those receiving letters were: Arden Day, Hugh lbbett, Tom Vail, john C-ibson, and Dick Cray. fNfNr'sINfxr's.rNi'S.fN.vsrN.f IN-vN.1+vs.fs.4w-f-sand-I-A lO6
