Golfers “putt-putt” their way through season Fordson went into the season with lack of experience but ended up with a third place season record and under the leadership of co-captains Frank Brusco and John Kuchka, finished a second in the league. This was the first year that Fordson did not lead the GL-8 since it was formed. This was due to lack of depth on the team. Brusco, who had the highest average on the team, placed first in the league tournament. John Kuchka was also nominated as all-league, all-city golfer. Next year’s team looks rather weak in comparison to the past. There are four returning lettermen, Tom Anas- tos, David Boyle, Bob Brusco, and Mike Humitz, each who “must work hard all summer to establish a pattern of consistency, states Coach Hoey, but we must never underestimate the power of Coach Floey, for it shouldn't be long until they are playing up to par. 19

Tractor netters top GLEA once again This was a year of rebuilding for the girls' tennis team. Seven varsity players were graduated last June, leaving only three experienced varsity members to return this season. Coach Pat Baron states that this year's seniors did a lot to hold the team together. They seemed to be the backbone of the team. Once again the Tractors placed first in the G.L.E.A. league tournament. For their performances at the tournament, Sandy Gould, Kathy Wudyka, Debbie Kowich, and Maria Keller were named to the All-league team. Although Ford- son finished up second in the league overall, they were out of first place by only one-half point. Of the ten victories that the Tractors chalked up this year, seven were shut- outs with perfect 7-0 scores. Coach Baron is looking forward to a strong sea- son next year with many experienced players returning to both singles and doubles positions on the team. 1. Dana Mikalonis and Delia Greco have ten- nis etiquette on and off the court. 2. The swift backhand of Debbie Fiema proved to be suc- cessful. 3. Nothing will stop Dana Mikalonis from serving an ace 4. Maybe somebody should tell Debbie Kowich that the ball is still on the court. 5. Maria Keller has the style and determination that got her through the sea- son. 20
