10 xiaf T'HE track team of I946-47 was active throughout the entire year. Early in the season, under the guidance of Mr. Jack Wolf, the cross country season began. At first the track aspir- ants were very few but after the football season the interest grew to greater proportions. The long since forgotten track act vity was marked by a few but yet successful meets. Led by talented Captain 'Artie' Anderson they competed in a number of meets and displayed some fine form. Leading contenders on the squad were: Bill Cushman, John Terry, John Haaren, Carl Landegger, and others worthy of mention.

Bellows, smarting from a previous defeat at the hands of the Irish, fought their way to an 8-7 win over Iona at Haag Field. This was simply a case of no scoring punch in the Irish camp, for although they scored seven runs, the hit total for the Prepsters should have meant .more tallies than were gar- nered. Although George Phillips pitched a superb game, his mates pulled some horendous errors to drag the crafty righthander into defeat at the hands of A. B. Davis. The Mount Vernonites skipped to a 4-I victory when some questionable fielding marred an otherwise perfect mound job. With Bob Sexton turning back the Mounties when the pressure was on, the Irish swept to an 8-5 win at McGovern Field. The hitting for the winners was rather evenly divided with six of the Prep heroes banging out solid base knocks. When the Cardinals of B S H S invaded Iona, Phillips dis- played all the tricks of his trade and a few new ones while handing the visitors an 8-3 setback. George went all the way, but it was not his pitching alone that sparkled. With the sacks loaded and two down, the Irish moundsman exploded a tremendous grand slam homer into the left field stands. Bill Morris also hit for the circuit one inning later with no mates aboard. The day before this book went to the press, Bob Sexton hurled a sweet 4-I triumph over the same Pelham team which had earlier held the Irish to the memorable 4-4 tie. Again the Irish jumped on the hit wagon by banging out seven safe- ties in the same number of innings.
