McBurney School - Lamp and Laurel Yearbook (New York, NY)

Page 39 text:

The second half of the season was disastrous, some of the best players failed to meet McBurney's strict academic standards and were declared ineligible. Substitutes had to be found to replace them. Brooklyn Friends and Fieldston vanquished the booters. Then, slithering in mud and soaked by the rain, McBurney lost to Riverdale, 5-2. In the ninth game, Coach Bear's cohorts put up a magnifi- cent scrap against Staten Island Day School but lost 3-1. The season ended with a o-o tie, the opponent being Birch- XYathen. In Iune the team lost Iames Scott, Ned Smith, lack Stewart, Henry XVolFf, Robert Gtterbourg, Walter Ellis, and Leon Spo- liansky. Returning next year will be letter- men Roger Carasso, Dick Gasparre, Phil Denman, Robert Losch, Francis Pardo and Karl Leuffen. VARSITY BASKETBALL The record of this year's basketball squad was anything but impressive, five won and twelve lost. The team lacked age. experience, and height, it also lacked reserves. Iohn and Iames Lange, Warren Lutz. Warreii Lutzel, and lames Scott constituted the first team, there were three reserves, Dick Marinaro, Bob Lanino, and Gay Keith. The first four games were dismal af- fairs. McBurney losing to Trinity, New- ark Academy, Brooklyn Academy, and Horace Mann-Lincoln. The game with Locust Valley Friends provided the first victory, the Galloping Camels winning by the score of 46-20. In the next game Dwight set back a McBurney team for. the first time in many years. The next two games were victories, over Barnard and Staten Island Day School, the only consecutive wins of the season. Following these victories, the squad lost to Adelphi, won from Irving, and then lost four-to Columbia Grammar, De la Salle, Loyola, and Poly Prep. Invited for the third year in a row to the New York Athletic Club Tourna- ment. the team did its best to make up for a poor season. In the first match McBurney defeated a highly rated Stony Brook squad 56-go. In the semi-final and consolation rounds, however, the team was not so successful, losing hard fought games to Trinity and Poly Prep. Next year Coach Guernsey must build his team around the nucleus of lames Lange, Gay Keith, and Dick Marinaro. since lohn Lange, Warren Lutz, Warren Lutzel, Iames Scott, and Bob Lanino are graduating. J. V. BASKETBALL The V. basketball season started with a flourish last December when fifty candi- dates answered Coach Busch's call for a team. Three weeks later, however, the squad had been reduced to eleven boys. The season opened with two victories over Franklin School-the first by the score of 28-2 5, the second, 31-28. A string of four defeats followed after the de- parture of Coach Busch from school left the team without a coach. When Mr. Eisele took over, the team once more played its normal game, de- feating Adelphi, a team which had form- erly defeated them, by the score of 48- 23, and losing a close one to Lincoln School, 37-35. Haynes Iohnson, playing right forward, scored 79 points during the season, Stew- art O'Neill and Elliott Labiner, left for- ward and center, netted 69 each, Donald Shroder, right guard, accounted for 44 points, and Arthur Hawkins, left guard. for 28. The replacements were Al Leder- kramer, Faust Ystueta, Eduardo Caffron, and Allen Head. SWIMMING When the 1947 season opened the Mc- Burney mermen had a record of seventeen straight victories in dual meets. Although the team was without the services of Ray Reid, who graduated last Iune, it had high hopes of continuing this record. Last year's veterans plus several newcom- ers made a team which seemed balanced and capable. After several weeks of practice, the actual composition of the team was de- cided on. Freestyle swimmers were ,Ernest Tarof, Ken Bridges, Barrie Trebor, Robert McGuigan, Dave DeLong, Tullio Borri, Bryant Hopper, and Robert Otterbourg.
