HOCKEY The Daycroft hockey team started their season on October seventeenth with a most ex- citing and satisfactory game against Edgewood played on the home field. The score at the end was a tie, one to one. A social hour with tea followed. The line up for this game carried through almost the entire season with only a few substitutions: this included the following. Goaly, Elinor Warren: Left Full, Betsy Lang: Right Full, Marion Handy: Left Half, Iune Urquehart-Laing: Center Half, Virginia Forbes: Right Half, Iackie Wootton: Left Wing, Betsy Graf: Right Wing, Elizabeth Sheridan: Left Inner, Sylvia Forbes: Bight Inner, Fran Sheri- dan: Center, Iackie Mangels. Fran Sheridan was the only one to score a goal. Cherry Lawn was the next opponent: and with a successful final score of two to noth- ing, we looked forward to a bright season. Iackie Mangels and Fran Sheridan :both proved themselves good material by scoring at this time. Pat Elmer, a new-comer to our hockey group, had a chance to show her merit when she replaced Sylvia Forbes. A close game on November thirteenth with Hamden Hall proved to be our first defeat. The score was one to nothing when the final whistle blew. We hoped to have a game on their field but were unable to make it. The following week we had our first game away, this one on the Thomas School field. A well sustained first period defense collapsed into a three to nothing defeat. Betty Garber and Pat Elmer had a few minutes in this game. On November eighteenth, New Canaan came to meet us on our field with a very superior team. The young girls of our school were given a chance to play: but they were no match for the New Canaan girls. A final score of four to one found New Canaan well in the lead. Thomas School came to our field for a return game on December third. At this time the Daycrofters proved a good match for them and were able to maintain a tie score. This bolstered their spirits and kept them in line for another tie score against Cherry Lawn just one week later when the girls ended their season with a three to three score. Elinor Warren was the captain, Iackie Mangels the manager and Fran Sheridan, chair- man of the entertainment committee. 28

fth- Jf! M 'ww' M0 l.Ctvw'f'7a ii..- - FOOTBALL Daycroft gave all her football effort during the 1941 season to produce a winning team! ' The A team was composed of the following: Casanave, captain and quarterbackg Law- rence, left halfbackp Mendoza, right halfbacky Stebbins, center: Lang, right endg and Bly, left end. The B squad included Carpenter, C. Vollmer, V. Vollmer, Arthur, Maclntosh and Guilbert. The season opened with a practice game with Edgewood defeated by a score of 21-U. Another victory over Edgewood was rung up the following week, the score this time be- ing 33-13. The first league opponent was Milford which was trounced 26-12. ln this game Don Casanave and Wallace Lawrence were outstanding in their broken-field running and line playing. Fairfield was next encountered and they were flattened to the tune of 26-6. The boys' team now really began to apply the pressure and Childrens Center and Umquoa both were soundly beaten by the score of 37-U. The last game of the season was indeed a test. Out-weighed by a considerable margin Daycroft showed its fighting spirit and outplayed Hamden Hall through most of the game. ln the third period, Don Casanave intercepted a Hamden Hall pass and was off down the field for a score. The at- tempt at conversion failed. With a minute and a half left to play, Hamden Hall after three attempts to crash Daycroft's defense, finally broke through and scored. Their attempt at conversion was blocked and the game ended in a deadlock score of 6-6. Because of the fine record the team achieved, they were awarded a trophy signifying the cham- pionship of the Connecticut Private School League. Two players were voted to the all-league team, Don Casanave as quarterback and Karl Lang as end. 29
