This year, Coach Irving Holevy will be missing the talents of Barry Siegel, Individual Champion at the '64 Rider Invita- tionol Tournament; and Donald Goiewski, excellent player and part two of the one-two punch for Fairleigh Dickinson Coach Holevy looks optimistically to the coming season in spite of the toss 0t Siege! and Gaiewski, because of the return of many of last year's experienced team members. This season marks the First time that the Rocketmen can come home to roost. That is, home matches can be played on the newly constructed tennis courts at the Teaneck Com- pus. These new courts should generate more enthusiasm, and aid the development of the Holevy-men that compete for our growing University.

The '63-'64 version of the Maroon and White compiled a 11-7 record and won the Collegiate Baseball League Chom- pionship for the second time. Although the Knight record was not good enough for post seasonal honors in the NCAA tournament, the FDU squad inflicted detect on Seton Hall University, a team which placed filth among the collegiate ranks in the nation. This '63-'64 campaign started on a sour note when Temple University trounced FDU 13-4 and ended with on FDU victory over Adelphi University 16-0. The '65 version of the team proved to be a strong one. Knight entrance into the Metropolitan Baseball Conference, along with Seton Hall and LlU, earmarks a rise into inter- collegiate baseball prominence. The power of this FDU team was shown in its pitching ranks. Dennis O'Brien paved the way as o lldouble no hitter, who in his senior year should make some eyes open. Bob Secula, who ranked tenth na- tionally in runs given up; Jack De Rosa, who gained much diamond experience playing junior ball; and John McGoey, FDU coger and oll-star CYO player from Staten Island will figure in FDU pitching chairs. Rounding out the bench were Joe Polestrini with the i'moior league glove, Tony Wright and Bob Jensen in the infield, and LeRoy Kirchner. This senior studded squad played all the moior college teams from St. John's to Ithaca. The FDU trosh baseball team held some good baseball buffs in its ranks. Freshman Coach John Porado aided them in their campaign against Seton Hall, Columbia, and City College of New York. This fine freshman team will comprise most of next year's varsity squad. OH...
