SKIING After having such a remarkably good team last year sknng thls season was coupled wxth dlfliculties The only letterman left from the previous skiers was Johnme Childs who missed three nmportant meets because of injuries Then various other members were out this year at one time or another Snow first came towards the mxddle of January and the conditions by the beglnnmg of March were already poor Wendy s the slope used the most by the school and Huckms Hull could be used only half this time The snow condltxons thus were not so good as we hoped they would be all the snow seemed to come around Easter when rt was too late Yet tak mg everythmg 1nto consideration the team stall did well The first meet with Brewster was won by a large margin m the second meet wxth Tllton the victory was even more pronounced Then came the first defeat nt was from the representatives of New Hampton a team that later produced a Natlonal Amateur Skung champion We went for a return clash wxth Brewster and this meet we won although only by three tenths of a pornt Then we went to Proctor The team there first showed us their 3b1llflCS on the Jump then they gave us a nice slushy slalom That was followed by a tricky fast and narrow downhill trail and the finale was a good twenty minute cross country That was too ml1Ch We IOSI Yet When PrOCt0r Came for a return vxsxt although we agam were defeated the d1ff2r2r1C6 WAS d6Cld2dly Smaller Although the Trl School Plaque went to Proctor there are hugh hopes that it will be hanging ln our Schoolhouse next year agam Wuth seven other schools we also entered a meet at K U A and came out fourth in downhill and slalom combined Phil See won a prxze for his slalom runmng The results spoke well for the team but we m1ssed Chnlds and Emmons a lot At Northwood CLake Placldj we lost by a very narrow margin agam without Childs and yet we came out better than generally expected Except for a Dartmouth Outmg Club Race on Moosxlaukee where Ted Leland dld very well that was all Now let us look at the individual skiers Johnnie Childs had very tough luck as explained before Yet when he dnd ski he was always one of the best Bob Emmons was a very surprising lndlvldual He never seemed to be satisfied with him self even though he came through with a second place in slalom and a first rn downhlll at Brewster At Lake Placid he almost duplicated that feat The moral IS ? Ede Weld was nn general a real support to the team Although never first he was al ways far from the end of the line Phil See and Ted Leland were two of a kmd Both were very consxstent While others mlght have had an off day they were always good Dxck Knowlton was of course the find of the year He was never actually considered team material until after the Proctor meet Then he became a regular member of the team and dnd exceptlonally well Credit too should go to Bud Grimes Don Campbell and in fact to all those who at one time or another made a contrxbutxon to the team Mr Wernert had quite a job on his hands as coach Some ordeals he had to go through have already been mentioned He was never sure whom he would be able to use for a meet On top of that he chipped a bone ln his shoulder 1n the middle of the season and could there fore not ski after that He deserves much credlt for making as much of the season as he d1d We must say that all those who skled elther privately or on the team had a lot of fun We look for many skiers next year and more and better snow 1 . 1 1 1 - 1 ' . 1 1 1 . 1 1 i 1 - 1 ' , . 1 V Y ' 1 1 . 1 , - . . 1 , . , 1 - - 0 1- .

BASEBALL The baseball team under the coaching of Messrs Hinman and Hunting started its prac tice a few days after the end of our spring vacation The team shaped up well in the three weeks of practice and those boys who werent experienced enough for the Varsity composed the second team under the super vision of Mr Hunting The Varsity how ever was handicapped when news came that George Langdon and Don Campbell would be unable to play for a few weeks because of sickness Both boys had positions on the team George at first and Don at right field These two positions were filled by Ted Lib bey and Charlie Staples both of whom did exceptionally well during the first game with New Hampton The score Holderness 9 New Hampton 7 The game with New Hampton proved many things about which every one in school had his doubts Could John Manley pitch? Last year he was a tennis player This game showed that John could pitch Could the team hit? Seven of Holderness runs came in the first inning Phil See started the bat ting with a hit through second base Brad Wagoner followed hitting through third and gained second on an over throw Captain Bob Crandall started the score rolling by a hit which knocked See and Wagoner in The heavy hitter of the team John Childs topped things off by a hit into left field which brought Crandall in to score After a change of pitchers we rallied through to the eighth man on the batting order During the next seven innings Holderness didnt score but New Hampton scored five runs During these innings when we were in the field Dick Warner was kept busy shaggmg Ries in left-field and Catcher Kuehner surprised us all a few times by catching the impossible. John Manley pitching a very good game for the first six innings allowed New Hamp- ton only two runs. But his arm gave out in the last of the sixth inning and then he was relieved by Bud Grimes veteran pitcher of last year s team. In the following inning Holderness scored a run which gave a two-run lead. Bud pitched a murderous three in- nings and stopped New Hampton from scor- ing. The game ended with a double play between Brad Wagoner and John Childs- very happy ending. All in all both teams should make good records. Compared with last year the var- sity has a good chance of doing better' time will tell. .l , - Qfrifm 517 Ji' Qi
