This year's team has five lettermen returning TE N N I S including Senior Art Martin and Junior Jim Car- roll, both from the School of Business. Coached by Bob Hawthorne and captained by Hank Connolly, this year's team showed great po- tential. Backing the veterans and challenging ,,,,i,,. their positions are no less than six sophomores giving future teams a promise of great depth. Last year's record of eight wins and four losses can be easily surpassed by this year's squad which shows plenty of talent and also the desire to win. This year's team was hit by much inclement weather and so the season had to be cramped by filling in make-up games. The Rams dropped their first two games to Adelphi, 5-4, and to Columbia, 7-2. However the team has come back to defeat Seton Hall and Hofstra College. NYU and St. John's affords the Rams some of the tougher rivals to be faced. The veterans including Don Bindler, Hughie O'Donnell and Bill Murphy should carry the squad to a most successful year. 216

May- nard did remain at first and was not permitted to pitch as was often done in the past. The Rams faced most of their difficulty in St. John's and Manhattan. The Metropolitan Conference afforded some stiff competition and the Rams had to fight to finish on top in this league. The Rams dropped their first two encounters to St. John's and NYU. The Rams bowed to the Violets 3-l and to the Redmen ll-2. An error in the sixth paved the way for the Violets while four miscues gave the game to St. John's. The Rams then handed defeats to Hofstra 3-l, Wagner ll-O, and once more to Hofstra 9-6. CCNY ended the Ram streak by beating them 7-0. Coach Dan Rinaldi eyes squad. ln the two Hofstra wins it was two Business School students who were instrumental in the wins. Ken Gazzola was not expected to pitch much, if any this season. He pitched a three hitter against the Dutchmen. Also Don Woods was not expected to pitch until the weather was warm. The two pitched however, and gave great hope for the balance of the season. Dee Maynard tees off against NYU. Just chuck it in baby.

Junior A led by Jack Roche, Al Bates, Ray Fisher, Tony Antonnucci, Bill Foley, and a strong bench of Tom Quigley, Bill Driscoll and Ken Gamble showed from the beginning that they were the team to be reckoned with. The iuniors readily took care of the senior contenders, Sr. A, and knocked oft their junior rivals, Jr. C. Gus Gazzola and Mike Burke sparked the seniors while Jr. C was led by the rebounding of Black and scoring punch of Doyle, Eschman and Kirchner. ln the freshman-sophomore division it was all Soph. C as McGuire, Ruotola, Pisano, Flan- agan, and O'Connell took care of their league and Jr. C in the playoffs. ln the battle for the school championship, Jr. A took the title as they downed the sophomores 59-44.
