Umphed 37-29 and gave a repeat perform- ance on February 3, when it annihilated the Bensonhurst quintet, 40-19, at the Highwaymen's court. Jimmy Moscowitz's lads humiliated our twine-swishers by chalking up 30 points in the second half, while limiting the Green and White to a mere 3 points. Lafayette, playing inspired ball, led an overconfident Green and White contingent throughout most of the contest, before finally bowing to a more seasoned Utrecht quintet, 43-41 on February 20. Jacobson's 19 points paced the victors. However, the winning marker came on Bernie Sugarman's lay-up, after the lanky star sunk a pivot, tying the score at 40 apiece. Normie Mager, Lafayette forward, gave Utrecht partisans the jitters as he regis- tered 10 consecutive points in an unin- terrupted scoring splurge before being forced out of the game on fouls. Coach Ross' five then proceeded to romp over Lincoln, 64-34, in the season's finale. Highlighting the contest was Jacobson's scoring of 22 points, the highest totaled by a Utrecht player in a single encounter. Jumbo Stenzi successfully brought a four-year playing career to a close by tallying 17 points. New Utrecht's quintet terminated the season with a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, which gave it third place in the P.S.A.L. Division 2 standings. FENCING By GUNTHER WERTHEIMER The 1942 Fencing season was a bitter pill for the coach and the team alike. Although the season began auspiciously, Tw elziy-eight the championship hopes entertained by the squad did not materialize. It seems to us that the greater part of the blame for our low fifth place stand- ing must be absorbed by Captain Jerry D'Alessio and by the number two man, Philip Alba. A clean split of fourteen bouts for D'Alessio and eight losses and six victories for Alba certainly did not speak well for their prowess, although D'Alessio's second place in the City-wide champonships and both of them Form being invited to the Individual Champion- ships seems to point towards a different conclusion. Jack Oldstein with a record of just one defeat out of ten starts, showed a most commendable spirit throughout the season, together with Herbie Kaufman, Justin Cammaleri, and Mario Abatte. The first three matches with Clinton, Port Richmond and Lafayette were push- overs for the Green and White. However, these victories proved too much for the Utrecht fencers and over- confidence brought an ill-deserved defeat at the hands of Townsend Harris, at a score of seven to five. The following three weeks saw the Var- sity beaten by a strong Bayside aggrega- tion, seven to five, and a tie scored against the second team by the Bronx High School of Science. Lincoln's championship team scored an 8-4 victory in a hotly-contested battle as indicated by the individual 5-4 scores. The swordsmen wrote finis to the season with a 7-5 win over the second place Madison team. Mr. Mirelman's excellent coaching has readied next term's team in such a man- ner as to be fairly confident of success.
