BASKETBALL Hartford Tech got off to a slow start this year. ln the first game Tech was swamped by Wilcox Tech. This didn't hurt the teams moral by any means and Tech came back in the second game with tremendous win over the Alumni. This gave the team confidence so that they were able to defeat E. C. Goodwin Tech in their third game. Although the team progressed, the fourth game was lost to Holy Trinity H. S. ln the fifth game when all looked lost, the team made a driving come back from underneath to step out on top and swamped Howell Cheney Tech 48-41. The next three games were lost but this didn't stop the team from trying to win. ln the next game, which was played away, Tech won over E. C. Goodwin 48-45. The last four games of the season were to be played on the home court. The first of the four games was played against Howell Cheney, which proved to be the second time Tech swamped this team. The second game didn't prove to be so profitable, they lost by four points. The third game was won by three points over St. Thomas H. S. This put the team in good standing. The fourth game was a rough tough game to the finish. Tech lost this game against Holy Trinity H. S. by one point. This was a great loss. If Tech had won this game they would have come up with 7 wins, 6 losses. So Tech finished the season with 6 wins, and 7 losses. : vim OR! N

After losing the first two games, because of a late start at practice, they came back to win two games straight from Vinal Tech and Simsbury High School. The fifth game was a real thriller, but Tech lost 8-7 to Vinal Tech in a game that went into over time play. The next two games were lost by scores of 9-3 and 7-1. After these two loses Tech scored two more victories, 1st over E. C. Goodwin Tech, that game went twelve innings before Hartford Tech won 4-3. The second game with Goodwin went overtime with Hartford Tech winning 6-3 to complete a season of four wins and five loses. The returning lettermen that played in the 57 season were Stanley Kozak, the teams leading hurler, who won four games for Tech, Dennis Bogino, good second basemen with a sharp bathing eye, along with Joseph Urbanowski, short stop. These two boys had the fastest and more colorful double play combination than any school that Tech played. John Ciak, a frantic little catcher, who had also played the two previous years had the highest batting average 313. John was captain of the 57 team and also a spark plug for the rest of the team. He came through in fine style as the team's top hitter. Under class- men to return were Robert Brule, who can either play the outfield or catch, Kenneth Tomany, a third basemen, Joseph Suggs a hard running left fielder. Promising rookies who played were Robert Nadler and John Thomas. 39 Q1Dnl Z - t -3- l in-s lll Pi ' -fit i l 0 , oil v-can -rp -five Ut L I 4 an-1-ex. gag an' A 'acl' -4 , 1 5 n v- is ..
