For the first year in its history, the Hun School of Princeton has put into competi- tion a soccer team. The team performed rather well, even though it was the first soccer team to be formed by Hun. Boys from other countries, as well as boys from the U.S.A,, worked together to make the team successful. Each one contributed his share of the work by attending every daily practice, conducted by Coach George For- ner, at present attending the Princeton Theological Seminary. As may be seen by the record, the coach was successful in teaching the many boys who were on the soccer field for the first time even the fine points of the game. As the time approached for the first game, the team had gained a great deal of confidence in themselves, and the team asa whole. After the first game the boys had enough confidence to take them through a successful season. The team was composed of boys from the following countries, U.S.A., Colombia, Arabia, Venezuela, Italy, Mexico, and Panama. The most exiting game of the season was played under adverse weather conditions. In this game, during which Hun defeated Solebury 4-3, George Castro was the out- standing player, as he scored all four goals. Won4 - Tiedl - Lost2 Hun 1 Pennington H. S. 0 Home Hun 2 Princeton H.

V. basketball team hadarecord that any team can be proud of. This was the best J.V. team to represent Hun in the past few seasons. The J.V.'s opened their season at night against Solebury and won, After this show- ing they kept fighting and winning by taking on George School the following week. Soon after the George School victory they again showed their good quality, by-defeating the Bryn Athyn J. V.'s. But, all good things must come to an end, and they lost their first game to the J. V. team from B. M. l. by one point. A week later the traveled to Wilmington, Del. to defeat a taller Tower Hill J. V. by 6 points. The J. V.'s later played Peddie. They led most of the game but found them- selves tied up with 5 seconds to go in the game. Two foulshots then broke the tie and gave Hun the victory. A while later these two teams played again with Hun again com- ing out on top. Bob Edwards was elected their season's team captain. ln the last game they bowed to George School J. V. by a narrow margin. The fine spirit of the 'team plus the competent leadership of coach Don Jann proved to be a winning combination for Hun.

Crew , ...yi Y , 'U if., .rms , , X My N Left to right, standing: Manager R. Cary, Riker, T. Davis, B. Rocknak, G. Griggs,CoachR. The '54 Crew, under the mentorship of Mr. Peter Gardner, freshman coach at Princeton, enjoyed a relatively successful season, winning two and losing three. The two victories both came in the same after- noon against outclassed, but spirited New York Institute crew teams. The two races were in four oared shells, one varsity, the other J.V. The Varsity shell was made up of Bill Rocknack, Steve Weiss, David Riker, George Griggs, and little Stu as cox. Tom Tilton, Bob Edwards, Dave Keffer, Bill Fransen, and coxswain Herb Goldblatt made up the J .V. Shell. The races were on Lake Carnegie and the times were very impres- sive. ln the eight oared shell things did not go as well. The first race was against the Princeton Freshman 3rd. boat and Prince- ton 150 lb. 3rd, boat. It was a close race all the way and was only decided in the last quarter of a mile when the Freshman pulled steadily ahead to cross the finish line first, with the l50's in second place and Hun a very close third. Another exciting race was against Lower T. Tilton, S. Weiss, D. Keffer, R. Edwards, D. Gardiner, seated: S. Caso, Coxswain S. Thorne. Merion High School, the traditional rival of Hun. Hun has not beaten them in five years but came very close last year to breaking the jinx with only seven seconds difference between the two boats. The Hun Shell was manned hy: Capt. George Griggs, stroke, Bill Rocknack, 7, Steve Weiss, 6, Dave Riker, 5, Tom Davis, 4, Dave Keffer, 3, Bob Edwards, 2, Tom Tilton, bow, and the little man' with the big voice, Stu Thorne as Cox- swain. The '54 season can be looked upon as one of rebuilding, due to the fact that Coach Gardner had only two returning lettermen and three more who gained the fundamentals and experience. Prospects look pretty good for '55 and mitch better things should be expected.
