WILSON-GOULD LEAGUE BASKETBALL This year was the seeond in which Milford was represented by a fighting, hard-playing Wilson-Gould League team. They managed to win two games while losing four against their skilled opponents, even without the service of Dick Pearson, who moved up to the jayvees, and Bodie Tornrners, who was unable to play because of illness. As the team finally lined up, it was Jack Platt and Sherman Kouns at forward, Herbert Bailey at Center, and Al Strauss and Dick Fegreus at guard, with Porteous, Morris, Poriss, Maealuso, and Doolittle as substitutes.

BASEBALL On April 3, the day after the Easter vacation, Coach Pepper issued a call for candidates for the Milford 1939 baseball squad. The outlook this year was far less hopeful than at the same time last year, when a powerful aggregation of Pepper, Zanolli, Kupec, and Newell gave sure promise of the successful season to come. This year, however, there was a great scarcity of competent and seasoned material. joe Boyle, in the outfield, was the only 1938 letterman to return, and every other position had to be taken by relatively inexperienced men. Bob Yocher, hailing from Hillhouse High, Al Roller, Bill Wilson, and Dick Fegreus composed the hurling staff. Harry Shendell, behind the plate, proved to be an excellent batter ,as well as a fine catcher, and was elected captain. Jim Curren at first, Tom Conine and Frank Coppola sharing duty at second, Kelly Dant at short, and Bill Thomson holding down the hot corner completed the mfield. Haggerty, Boyle, and Frechette made up the outfield. The Milford squad traveled to Wallingford on April 15 to meet Choate in its first scheduled game of 'the season, and came out on the underside of a very lopsided score, 10-1. It was clearly Choate all the way through, in spite of the splendid hurling on the part of Bob Yocher and the work at the plate by Curren, Yocher, and Shendell.
