THE WILSON CLUB The Wilson and Gould Clubs, which derive their names from the Wilson and Gould cups, have had some keen competition in both foot- ball and basketball this year. A fine display of sportsmanship was prevalent in even the most trying clashes. The rivalry began with the first football contest, in which the Wilson Club was victorious. The opening kickoff by Fischbeck, of the Goulds, went to Cuomo, who in two plays raced the ball over for a score. After holding their opponents for the remainder of the period, the Goulds succeeded in scoring. The first half ended with the score six all. There was no score in the third quarter, for the field was dominated by neither team. In the fourth quarter Frechette succeeded in delivering a pass to Gumpert, who scored. Then after the kickoff O'Neill intercepted a pass that put the ball in a position which enabled Seybold to take it over in the next play. Frechette, Gumpert, and Seybold starred for Wilson, while Don Fischbeck did excellent offensive and defensive work for the losers.

In order to choose a team, Coach Frank Doherty used a tournament in which the winners were the seeded players. Although Les Rome gained the number one posi- tion in this match, he was replaced in the middle of the season by Joe Cohen. The end of the season saw Ted Gumpert win a silver cup by Winning the final tournament. Other members of the squad were John Seybold, jack McLaughlin, Fred Smoot, and Bud Rosenfeld. Shortly after the initial practice session. the team met a strong opponent in the Monday Night Club. Outclassed by their experienced adversaries, Milford lost the match seven to two. The next match was a different story. Experienced by two weeks of practice, the team trounced a squad made up of the faculty members. The badminton team showed their improvement by holding the Monday Night Club to a three to three tie in a return match. On the whole, the season was very successful for the squad showed a vast improvement and an excellent spirit. CPI BADMINTON

THE GOULD CLUB The rivalry continued into the basketball season. In both of two scheduled games the Wilson team emerged victorious. The first clash got off to a furious start with Farris and Zanolli sinking basket after basket for the Wilsons. The fast pace was tiring for the Goulds, who were behind 19-EJ at the half. The second half opened with Mike Pepper of the Goulcls making the first basket, but Zanolli and Farris got revenge by scoring again and again. In the third quarter the Gould team put on the pressure in order to lessen the lead, but the Wilson team succeeded in keeping ahead and at the hnish of the game the score was Wilson 433, Gould 25. The outstanding players were Zanolli and Farris from the Wilson ranks, and Pepper and Hirshberg for the Goulds. At the present time some softball games are scheduled, but these have not been played as yet. Let us hope that the spirit of good sportsmanship will prevail among the Wilson and the Gould Clubs for many years to come.
