Maraschiello O'Brien Boyer Rasch Geist ' ' Swimming The first call for candidates for the swimming team was issued November 20. Due to graduation only two members of last year's championship team, Saari and Beck, reported. During the year a new rule was put into effect. This rule, which allowed the contestants to partake in only one event and either the fancy dive or the relay, neces- sitated a team of fourteen men. After hard training and a few practice meets a practically new and inexperienced team opened the Syracuse Cup series on January 31, when Hutch defeated East by the score of 37-32. In the next two Cup meets Hutch easily defeated Fosdick-Masten and Technical, 4-1-18 and 48-21, respectively. The next meet proved to be the best of the year, when our team defeated Bennett 38-31. The final event, the relay, decided the winner. On February 27, Hutch suffered its only setback of the series when we were defeated by the strong Lafayette team by the score of 58-10. In the sectional meet held March 2, Don Faber won the 120 yard medley and Urho Saari finished second in the 40 yard free-style, thus winning the right to repre- sent the Buffalo Section in the state meet at Colgate. Besides 13 boys who received squad letters, the following boys received the Major H award of the School, Urho Saari, captain, Donald Faber, David Rhoads, Frank Hanavan, Howard Holgate, Albert Shaw, Earl Boyer, Jack O'Brien, Otto Geist, Norman Rasch and Lawrence Hennessey, manager.

Katz Cyckiewicz Smalclone CCapt.D Simonson Ferraro Grelick Liesinger Basketball Considering the fact that Hutcthinson entered the 1928-29 Yale Cup Series with- out a single veteran from last year, due credit must be given to our plucky team which oifered its opponents keen competition throughout the entire season. We opened the series with a win over Tech and later in the season handed them a second setback. The first South Park contest was not decided until the final quarter, the score being against us 31-21. We had an even break with East-that is, a win and a loss. The Bennett games were hotly contested affairs, in which our boys fought the Orange and Blue to their utmost before we yielded up the victories 18-10 and 30-23. As host to Lafayette we accepted the short end of a 36-17 score. But that second Masten encounter! Say, it was the game of all games in which we upset Fos- dick in a contest replete with thrills. Every man worked as he never worked before, and when time was called Hutch was pronounced victor by the score of 22-21. This was the only defeat of the season for the Yellow and Blue five, Cup winners and Sectional Champions. Coach Ray Glunz did remarkable work in handling and developing the team to the extent he did. Captain Paul Smaldone deserves much credit for the judgment he used in carrying out his duties and for his fine cooperation with his team-mates: Harold Weinberg, Joseph Ferraro, Max Katz, David Grelick, and Abe Katz. NORMAN KREUTER, Manager.

Pitkin Cary Helm Wolf. fMgr.J Mr. Moody CCoachD Metzler Lane Doran Rice Cienuas Ireland Lavell Mecca Curry Hockey With five veterans in the line-up, o11r Hockey team looked like a championship outfit at the beginning of the season but there were two better teams in the field and Hutch was forced to occupy third position when the series was over. In the initial fracas, a powerful defense featured a brilliant 2 to 0 win over Lafayette. We took another stride toward the cup by defeating the strong Fosdick- Masten team by a score of 3 to 1. In the third game, we continued our winning streak to hand East High School a 2 to 0 setback. When the final whistle blew, Hutch held undisputed first place in the series. However, our success was to be short lived for the following day we met the fast Bennett aggregation and the orange and blue emerged victorious, 3 to 0. Fresh from the Bennett defeat, we encountered the cup-winning Tech team and in spite of the fact that we played an evenly matched game, we were thwarted in this final combat which ended Tech 3, Hutch 1. Due to lack of ice, one game remained unplayed, that with South Park. Both Doran and Lane played an excellent game at defense while Mecca gave a good performance at the cage. Generas, Ireland, Gary and Ebberts proved a threat to the strongest opponents. Captain Oswald Till, although held scoreless, contributed largely to the success of each game by his brilliant pass work and effective checking. Four of this year's letter men as well as several squad men will be back next year to make another attempt to annex the coveted trophy. GEORGE WVOLFE, Manager.
