Wrestling entered its fourth season at Hun with seven of eleven weight classes lierthed by lettermen. The squad shaped up with a llurry of exercises in training for the opener against Pingry. Revealing weaknesses in the lighter weight departments, our matmen dropped that one, 7 to 34. After the holidays a foray into Pennsylvania met with tough opposition from a superior George School. Co-captain Keffer battled the George captain to a draw as our team was edged, 16 to 28. Hun's first win came on the icy shores of Tom's River as the Raiders took Admiral Far- ragut, 30 to 23. It was a toss-up until co- captain Paul Savidge pinned his man in the climactic bout. Every match, in fact, was a pin for one team or the other except Pat Donohue's 2-O decision in the 147 pound class. Although we dropped mid-winter matches to B.M.l., Peddie, St. Andrews, and Blair, we could usually count on wins by Chuck Smith, the Savidges, and newcomer Steve Rose. Highlights of the Blair contest were KeFfer's second period pin of his opponent after a three week hiatus due to a knee injury, and John Ward's heroic 0-4 loss to his friend, Meinig, state champ and captain of the Bwair squad. Keyed up lor revenge of our football loss to Delbarton, the Hun grapplers Qsix of them pigskin veteransj were content to blank St. Bernarcls when the Delbarton match was can- celled. Eight of that contest's eleven pins oc- curred in the first minute of the first period to earn us L1 55 to 0 score. We dropped a close 17 to 20 engagement to Tower Hill but rebounded in an impressive triumph over Pennington, 39 to 6, to climax the regular season and propel us into the State Meet. Here we had hopes for individual honors in at least five divisions. For a team perhaps not yet firmly entrenched in the hearts of its schoolmates. it was a season of many individual rewards, occasional team victories, and bright hopes shared by Coach Spencer for more brilliant seasons to come.

Meets were held with Rutgers Prep, Pennington Prep, George School, Trenton H.S., Lawrenceville J.V., and Peddie J.V. Both swimming coach McNamara and diving mentor Ball were greatly satisfied with the progress of Hun's newest sports in these Contests. Four swimmers, Bill Zieg, Steve Rush, Phil Townley, and Hardy Knowlton, made particularly good showings throughout the season, John Pitney in the last lap of the 100 yard Butterfly ton, A. Murray, B.

Each of these Eve, except Zieg and Knowlton, will return next year to lead their respective squads. Underclassmen Bruce Kantner, Marc Efron, john Pitney, Thorn Watkins, Harland Johnson, and Charley LeFebure rounded out this year's swimming team. Other divers who actively partici- patcd were Doug Kirk, Charles McGuire, and Pete Clark. Clark is the only senior of the three. With this year's squad dominated by underclassmen, a highly successful first varsity season can be expected next year. Pete Clark on the way to second place at Peddie 4?-'Elf
