The sTraTegy aT Mr. Funaro, alas, did noT worlc as iT was planned. The second game aT The season was againsT LaTayeTTe and There again The Green and WhiTe received a crushing blow Tram a superior Team, losing by a score OT 5-O, The Third game was a ToTal vicTary Tor The Green and WhiTe. ln The TirsT halT T-lanlc Baron, The all around aThleTe, scored The TirsT poinT aT The season Tor The Green and WhiTe.

We GOLF When The call Tor golTers was senT ouT This Spring, Mr. Purcell discovered ThaT noT one golTer Tram previous years was in The school. l-lowever, six poTenTial gollers an- swered The call. Many diTTiculTies were ex- perienced by The boys when They began To organize The Team. Finally They had Time To play only Three maTches, Two wiTh Poly Prep and one wiTh Brooklyn. The Team losT all Three maTches. The Teams home course, Clearview, is locaTed in Flushing. The sTarTing Tive were noT seasoned veT- erans, buT They did provide some compe- TiTion Tor The opposiTion. The prospecTs Tor nexT year are good. Byron Anderson grad- uaTed in June, buT Warren Hagberg, Fred SchmidT, Eugene Renner, RoberT Wood- head, and George Edbon will sTill be in The school. TENNIS The Tennis Team by winning all oT iTs maTches placed iTselT high in The running Tor The BesT Team Cup. The phrase, 'Twin- ning all oT iTs maTches, gives a very poor picTure oT whaT The Team did To iTs op- ponenTs. OT The Tive maTches played only one was a baTTle, The one againsT Lincoln, which was Tinally won by McBurney in The lasT seT, 3-2. The oTher maTches were walk- aways, IvlcBurney winning every seT in each maTch. The Team, composed OT Baron, Jacobs, Lawrence, SchmiT, Alex Treves, and Weis glass, Took To The courTs early and oTTen. The players were scarcely ever seen wiTh- ouT Their racgueTs under Their arms. ln Their TirsT maTch, abbreviaTed To Two sin- gles and a double, They deTeaTed Brooklyn Friends 3-O. There was no guesTion oT The ouTcome aT The maTch aTTer The TirsT seT. Columbia Grammar was The nexT vicTim, The score 5-O. Then came The Lincoln game.
