Although they dropped the opening game of the season, the 1954 baseball team com- piled a very respectable record. They had impressive victories over Croydon Hall, Morristown, B,M.l., Solebury and others. Top hurler for the team was sophomore Bruce Bo Davis who made headlines when he pitched a 14-0 no-hitter against Solebury on the Solebury diamond. The team was led by captain Bill Walsh who excelled at third base. Jim Lavan was in the shortstop slot while Ken Zauber was at second and Les Robbins was at first. This rounded out what was claimed to be one of the best infields in the state. The outfield was composed of Pete Red- nor, Chuck Delehey and Norm Stein, while Bruce Whitman handled duties behind the plate. Bruce served as an anchor for the team for it was he who would steady the pitchers at crucial moments. It was his con- stant chatter behind the plate that kept the team battling. The team made great strides under its new coach, Zig Emery who left behind him twelve years of professional baseball including hitches with the New York Giant, Philadelphia Phillies and Cleveland Indian organizations. For the 1955 season Ken Zauber will return as shortstop, Jim Lavan as Second baseman, Gary Hilton as catcher, Pete Rednor, in the outfield and Bo Davis, the key hurler.

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.

Tennis Left to right: Coach J. French, S. Hess, I. Watson, R. Conole, L. Lipson. The Tennis team for 1954 had a very successful season. They were led by num- ber one man and Captain Pete Bostwick. He went undefeated throughout the season and, furthermore, won two tournaments for the Hun School namely, the George School tournament and the Lawrenceville tourna- ment. Pete was followed by number two man Jimmy Bostwick, his brother, who lost only two matches. The two made practically an unbeatable one two punch in each match. These two were backed up by two very capable players, Joe Watson, number three and Dick Conole, number 4. These four formed the nucleus of the Hun Tennis team. The fifth through seventh positions were filled by Ivor Braka, John Matheke and Steve Hess in that order. The team's loses were thru the hands of the Pingry School and the Lawrenceville school. The big upset in the season was the de- feat of Pingry in the second match of the Braka, 54 J. Bostwick, J. Matheke, G. Bostwick, I. season with them. This was the first time that Pingry had lost in thrity five consecu- tive matches. Victories were also recorded against Morristown, George School, Peddie, Pingry and Admiral Faragut. The most decisive wins being over Ad- miral Faragut and Morristown. ln both of these matches the opponents were shut out. Most of the matches were played with five singles and two doubles.
