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.

Baseball Left to right, back row: S. Kagan, I. Fahey, G. Hilton, R. Shear, R. Miller, F. Oldis, W. Patty, Manager W. Prickett, Coach Z. Emery, middle row:D. Gribbons, G. Parker, R. Marks, W. Pear- son, C. Delehey, T. Raftery, B. Whitman, P. Rednor, Manager J. Barbarog front row: R. Engel, W. Anderson, L. Robbins, J. Lavan, N. Stein, R. Brody, K. Zauber. 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.
