Under the captaincy of Paul Mita and Phil Trainer, the team displayed both the ability and the will to win, Many onlookers of practices and meets spoke of the a- mazing support and help that the members of the team displayed among themselves. The year's record of six wins and one loss in dual meets set high hopes for the coveted Interacademic Championship. Hopes reached higher peaks as Murphy, Hoffner, Huver and Trainer captured the Interac Mile relay at the Penn Relays. On May 30 the ef- fort of three years of hard work aimed at winning the Interac Championship Meet fell two points short of capturing the title. The defeat was a stunning blow to a team that may never be e- qualled with so many spirited players and fine trackmen. To Malvern this team brought the Catholic State Championship in the Class C division for the second successive yearg but even more valuable, this team left the spirit that will eventually lead to even greater laurels for Coach Jim Tuppeny and his future teams. gig 1, sp .V CO-CAPTAIN PAUL MITA it ,NMC Winner of McConaghy Track Award t, , at 4 ms, ,J ,- V rs, i 1w.' f'a'a,3+,:'f'A:.,, if -Hs-, , Ha- 3' .Q 5,1 , I f fi f iii , ...M A -W f-fy:-we M .tt - ggfig 2 .,k.kt,gfl7-je,gtL,. . 7 , 1, -,qi - x i -r . ,V ., .V . t, , , .t 1 S .- ,gs -s, 5, .Q . is-,V-vp. , . s . ., iss, .x Q , W V- st .. ,, ...V L , - . -, ry' ,it if F f - - p g - as .47 'VVS 34 COACH JAMES TUPPENY
