restllng This year, again, the Milton Matmen under Louis Andrews came through with a good season. Although this year's Team had no standouts, it was one of the best rounded in years, and managed to come up with a commendable 6-2 record. It is interesting to note that, with the addition of 6 victories from this year's Team, Louis Andrews has 100 victories to his credit in 15 years of coaching at Milton. Few coaches can boast of a record like this. Although the Milton wrestlers wrestled quite well in most of the meets, pulling out close ones at Tabor and Needham, in the St. Mark's and Exeter meets something was lacking. The individual points were ex- tremely close, a thing which the final score failed to show. In the Interscholastics, the Milton men were unable to retain their title, but man- aged to get a first, a third, and two fourths by Capt.-elect Williams, Capt. Andrews, Panos, and Durkee respectively. Capt.-elect Williams: Ben this year gained the confidence which he lacked last year, and combined it with his superb knowledge and aggressive style to be the only member of the team who went un- defeated. Next year, Ben should have no competition from any school boy. Peter Durkee: Although Pete was second on total points with a little more drive he could have turned his two ties into victories. As the year progressed, he gained the con- fidence he needed and wrestled increas- ingly better. Capt. Andrews: Phil seems to have had a hot and cold season. During most of the meets he was in top form, but in the others he seemed to have lost something. He placed third in the Interscholastics. Phil seems to wrestle much better when he is on his own and out of a Milton uniform. Ioe Noble: joey made his debut on the mat this year as a regular, with the ap- pearance of an old pro. His speed and iight, along with his knowledge of the sport, made him one of the outstanding wrestlers on the Team. When he leams to pace him- self he should be excellent. Next year, he should be a mainstay of the Team. Bob Crook: Bob, a good wrestler as far as knowledge and style is concemed, tumed in a very good record. The major con- tributing factor to his victories were his fight and guts which seemed unconquer- able. Daoe Sawyer: David, at the start of the season, looked like the second Ted Sawyer. The only thing he lacks is confidence in himself. When this is overcome, he should be a much improved wrestler. Peter Panos: One of the mainstays of the Team for the past few years, Peter wrestled better than ever. His best match of the season was at Andover, where he beat their Captain. Peter used what he knew of wrestling to take a 4th place in the Inter- scholastics. Al Scullin: Al is the first full-fledged heavyweight we have had in many years. With his strength and exceptional speed, coupled with more knowledge, he will be of invaluable help in the future. Rolf Olson: Rolf could be called the hard luck member of the team. He, with- out a doubt, had the toughest opponents throughout the season. He was probably the most improved wrestler this year. Bob Twombly: Although his career was brief because of rough competition in his class, Bob did a good job in the meets he wrestled. When he stops relying on strength and uses more speed, he should be very much better. Win Sargent: Although he only wrestled twice, Win managed to slaughter an excel- lent Andover man. Win's strength and drive contributed to his success. Stan Emery: Again in a strong class, Stan was beaten in his only meet by a strong M. I. T. Captain. Stan improved greatly as the season progressed.

V mlm!! With but two returning lettermen, a po- tentially strong Milton Baseball Team faced the graduates on April 19th and easily set back the Old Guard, 17-2. A barrage of twenty hits throughout the game kept us in the lead the whole way, and Art Ward gained the first win of the season for the O8zB. Over-confidence and weak hitting caused Milton's first loss of the season to Brooks. Two errors and a few timely hits gave the opponents an early lead, and not until the third inning did Milton rally for three runs. Captain Win Sargent and Conrad Nobili both connected for doubles, but Brooks took the long end of an 11-3 count. The following Saturday, Morgan Palmer of St. Mark's handed the home team a 6-5 defeat in eleven innings after the 081B were leading 5-3 in the ninth inning. Credit must be given to St. Markis for good clutch- hitting. On Nash field, Thayer Academy pushed out a 10-6 victory in a twelve inning, four hour game. Dave Sheehan pitched superb ball, and hit a triple to further his cause. Milton knocked two pitchers out of the box and pulled off two well-executed double plays that discouraged Thayer runs. How- ever, in the twelfth inning, Thayer took the lead. One week later, Artie Ward pitched a shutout for the second straight year to de- feat Roxbury Latin, 2-O. A rally in the third inning gave us two runs and our first league victory. At Groton, the visiting team defeated the Grotties in a very well-played game, 7-1. Darley Randall picked up his first win of the year. jim Perkins, Tony Bradley, Bill North, Mal Ticknor, Conrad Nobili hit with men on bases as Milton took an early lead, Captain Win Sargent hit a single with the bases loaded, and Groton never threatened once. Undefeated Belmont Hill continued to be undefeated, as the Hill-toppers trounced us, 11-0. Dave Sheehan got credit for the loss, but he received no support in hitting or fielding. Governor Dummer broke their two-year losing streak with Milton and gave Milton only three hits while winning 8-1. Nobili, Schwarz, and Sheehan were the only men to reach by hits. Three days later, Milton High School squeaked out a one run win with a score of 8-7. Spectacular catches of the High School out-fielders robbed us of probable extra base hits with men on bases. Middlesex's Captain Smith pitched a three-hit shutout against Art Ward's first appearance in a month due to his arm injury, and in the same week, Browne and Nichols got their first victory against a Milton Team that put on a weak showing and lost, 5-4. On Memorial Day, the Nobles Team turned away Milton 12-4 in the last game of the season. In the first inning, Nobles scored three runs and added one in the second, while Milton retailiated with two each in the fourth and fifth to tie up the score. Captain Win Sargent's triple scored two runs in the fourth frame. Two home runs and a three base error gave Nobles the commanding lead. Outstanding for Milton were Bradley and Sargent with two hits and a walk apiece, along with Schwarz, Farnham, North, Nobili, and Ticknor, all with hits. A word of praise must be given here for Nobles' Captain Dick Flood who pitched with a bad 'ringer injury. The season was obviously a poor one, with only three wins and nine losses. It must be remembered that five injuries to key players and inexperience were great handicaps. Next year, it will be a different story and we wish all the luck to Captain- elect Bill North. We are also deeply in- debted to Stokey for taking over the job of coaching and regret he received so little in the way of wins. 67
