Basketball Playing our home games at either Commerce or Andrus courts, Coach Bud Lohrfinles five turned in a record for the season that would be pleasing to most coaches. With only one eager returning from the starting Five of last yearls team, Halsted had a ugreenn bunch of boys ranging in all heights. The backboards were left to the three taller boys, Ed Nauman at 6 ft., 2 inch., Mrirdo Urquhart at 6 ft., 1 in., and Al DeIBello at an even 6 ft. The chasing and fast breaks were done by the small but faster boys, Frank Ardanowski, and George Petri. The boys who did almost as much work, with a little less glory were the subs, lack Ryan, Iohn O'Neil, Don Mills, Dick lVIoore, Hibbard Affleck, and Paul Knepfer. Another small but very fast boy, Bob Tutoni, arrived at Halsted in the middle of the season and was a great asset even with his lateness. The spirit of cooperation and partnership which Halsted has shown throughout the season on and off the court is something long to be remembered.

--1 -nrq- Football When the fall rolled around again, I-lalsted, under the leadership of Coach Iohn D. Lohrhnk, began its second season of six-man football. Considering the fact that only four boys ever played football before, Halsted came through the season fairly well, Operating mostly out of the T-formation, the team was led by Captain, Al De1Be11o and George Petti at halves, Frank Ardanowski at quarter, MllYdO Urquhart and lack Ryan at ends, with anchor man, Iohn O'Nei1, at center. The team's backer-ups were Ray Darmstadt, Paul Knepfer, Dick M00l'C, Charles Aitcheson and Dino Guerrieri. Opening the season under the lights at Prescott Field, 1-Ialsted trounced over the Kohut team 25-0. The following game with Cedar Knolls showed what inevxperience could do. Halsted was defeated 12-0. Halsred then came up against another experienced club, and was snowed under 36-16 by Daycroft. Getting angry at the last two losses Halsted came back to beat Cedar Knolls 22-O, only to be trounced again by Daycroft 51-18. Even though the Purple and Gold were disagp ' ted by the number of rain-outs they showed much ability, skill and outstanding sports anship throughout the season. I ' 1 1

Baseball As far as predicting the outcome of the '52 season, it is almost impossible at this date, but if returning lettermen have anything to do with it, I-lalsted stands a better than average chance on turning in a good record. Because of the number of under-classmen joining the team this year, Coach LohrHnk's job may be a little more difficult than in previous years but if he does his usual good job, a good record can be almost certain. The following lettermen will returng Paul Knepfer, Al DelBello, Ray Darmstadt, lack Ryan, Alex Markovich, Ed Nauman, Iohn O'Neil, Dick Nloore, and George Patti. The newcomers are: Bob Tutoni, Milrdo Urquhart, Don Coleman, and Don Mills. NSN l
