BALL Oratory, Morristown kept fighting and won an uphill battle going away 64-59. Duane Wahl scored an impressive 21 points to break Ora- tory's back. Montclair College High was surprised by the highly inspired Morristown team as it bowed 72-54. Wahl and Ayrault put an effec- tive press to work: while, as the result of fine quickbreak passing by Bob Smith and Doug Lovell, Wahl tallied 27 points to dampen Mont- clair's spirits. After beating St. Bernard's, Morristoyvn lost its last two games. The Mt. Lakes game was very close-a one point loss, 42-41. In the last game, the team, having fought so hard for a losing cause, seemed tired as Delbarton won easily 60-47. Left to right, front row: Ayrault, Lovell, Captain Smith, Alford, Backes.

BAK The basketball team registered an 8-9 re- cord for the season's playing. Although the record is nothing special, it is in no way a true measure of the team's potentiality since they were forced to play their home games on a foreign court due to the lack of a home QYU1- The first two games of the season with Montclair Academy and Mt. Lakes, proved that Morristown needed more practice as we were- trounced by respective 50-34 and 50-36 scores. Morristown bounced back in the next game and upset Eastern Academy, 64-56. A new- comer, Don Backes, led the crimson attack, scoring 23 points. After easily beating Wardlaw 57-35, Mor- ristown and Oratory played a sloppy but excit- ing game. Morristown managed to hold an early lead just long enough to eke out a 38-37 win. The next four games saw Morristown get drubbed by Montclair College High, Pingry. Montclair Academy and Eastern Academy. Each game started out as a close contest, but in every case. except against Montclair Aca- demy, Morristown was winning at the end of the first quarter and behind by a very narrow margin at the half. The third quarter was always the most difficult for Morristown. Two lopsided games, a 55-33 win against St. Bernard's, and a disastrous loss to Delbarton followed. Although losing by ll points at the end of the lst quarter in the next game against

However, Mr. Grant and Mr. Klimczak, with the enthusiastic support of Ion Appel and Pete Eilbeck, decided to attempt a revival of the game. Ion Appel was elected captain and Fred Greenberg as alternate. Using Gus's Pond as their home rink, the team now coached by Pete Budd opened its season against Montclair Academy. The starting line con- sisted of Appel, Herms, and Eilbeck, with Ingram and Dean at defense, and Greenberg as goalie. It was soon evident that Morristown had a winning team on the ice as it scored twice in the first period, and continued on to win 7-1. Highly touted Cranford was the next to suffer defeat at the hands of Morristown. The game was nip and tuck all the way, the score being tied in the closing minutes of the third period. Center Pete Herms finally hit the corner with the game winning shot to boost the score to 3-2. Princeton Country Day inflicted the only defeat, as it squeezed past Morristown by a 2-1 count. One main factor in the loss of the game was the fact that the forward line's team play was not up to snuff due to the absence of their center, Pete Herms. We were in the game all the way, but just could not seem to drive in those two necessary goals. Again playing at the Princeton rink, Morristown revenged its loss at the hands of Princeton Country Day, when it mauled Peddie by a count of ll-2. Perhaps fired by their new uniforms, the team play in this game was as sharp as the new equipment. Attempts to schedule more games were in vain. Thus with a resound- ing win over Peddie, Morristown closed one of its most successful hockey seasons in recent years. in ,.
