Hughes BASEBALL Bingles blasted from the bludgeons of the 1936 Green and Gold baseball edition as it smashed out a seasonal record of 155 runs in its fourteen-game schedule to snare honors in the won and lost columns with ten victories, three defeats, and one lone tie in a fracas that went only four frames. The trio of defeats were well spaced by the conquests chalked up by the Mountaineers, but despite all efforts, the Union College Frosh, Nichols Junior Col- lege and Albany Business College each marked up a win over the valiant Green Horde. With the exception of the U. V. M. Freshmen who had the count knotted at three-all in a fray that was called during the early periods, the remaining outfits to face the Mountaineers were mowed down by the booming bats and airtight defen- sive play of the I-leffernanmen. Wlith Coach Heffernan building an aggregation around the small band of surviv- ing veterans, midaseason found Wilson, Hoey, Ross, Chornyak, and WVilliams vying for the infield postsg Holman, Parry, VVolinskey and 'Wiggins in the outfieldg and MacArthur and Hughes as backstops. Comprising a flashy twirling corps were Eaton, Kana, Fish and Sweeney, who all contributed mightily to Green Mountain's seasonal showing. The Greenies slashed their way to victory in the initial game of the campaign, 9-1, against Albany Pharmacy as Kana and Sweeney alternated on the mound to allow the visitors but two lone base blows. Pacing G. M. Sluggers was diminutive Rabbit Hoey who slapped out a single and tagged one for the circuit in his three trips to the platter. VVith a brace of conquests over Granville Collegiate Center, and with overwhelm- ingly decisive decisions over the University of Vermont Frosh, New York Deisel Institute and the Union College Frosh, the Green Horde had run its string of victories to six before meeting with its first defeat. Three of the more important games during this winning streak were against the U. V. M. Frosh and both battles with Union. lVith their bats cracking out a savage thirteen-hit victory tune, the Green Galaxy handed the Union squad a 9--L T1
