BADMINTON The season of Milford's Badminton team lasted from direct- ly after the Thanksgiving vacation to the end of the winter term, when it was climaxed by a tournament. It was comprised of sixteen members, four being from last year's squad and twelve neophytes. Under the able direction of Mr. Frank Doherty, the team's collective ability was raised from the novice class so that the final tournament was very well played. Fred Smoot won, and was awarded the silver cupg John McLaughlin was runner-up in the competition.

I 1 Again, on April 22, Milford tasted bitter defeat, this time at the hands of a first-class Yale Junior Varsity. The Elis garnered 9 runs, while all the efforts of Coach Pepper's men were unable to score. Poor fielding Q11 errors in allj was a deciding factor in Milford's 9-0 defeat. But things took on a somewhat different shape as, on April 27, a powerful Yale Freshman team scarcely eked out a meager 6-5 victory over a fighting, hard- playing Milford squad. Fine pitching on the part of Bill Wilson, and superb support both at bat and in the field by Shendell, Curren, Thomson, and Boyle accounted for our fine showing. On May 1, Milford came out on top of a slugging, high-scoring free-for-all against Bridgeport Trade School, 12-11. By the seventh inning a succession of hits by Joe Boyle, Harry Shendell, Jim Curren, and nearly every other man on the team had combined to give Milford a nice lead, 9-1. But within the next two innings things changed considerably, and in the ninth, with the score 11-11, Bob Yocher was called in to pitch Milford out of a hole. He did it very well, and in the tenth inning the winning run was pushed across. X
