FRESHMAN BASKETBALL HE freshman basketball team won only one game this year, over Spackenkill, but it managed to stay fairly close in games against powerhouses like Arlington and St. Peter's. The team had practically no height, with Tom Schoonmal-:er the only big man, but at times made up for it with line outside play and successful long shots. Steve Anslow, one of the hnest prospects Oakwood has had as a freshman, set up many plays and kept up the boys' spirit when the team was behind. This indomitable spirit made up for the lack of victories. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL LTHOUGH the junior Varsity did not show it in their won-and-lost record, a great deal of talent was uncovered for future varsity teams. The only victory was a 43-57 decision over Staatsburg, but there were some other close games. The jayvees were never more annoyed at themselves than in their close losses to Storm King, St. Peters, and Red Hook. At times the Jayvees showed flashes of superior play. MacGregor's flashy passing and ball-stealing, Ernster's surprising agility under the boards, Smead's jump shots and tap-ins, and many of the other team- members' skills will all be most instrumental in the success of the teams of the next two years.

Although it only met for practice three times a week, and even then had to keep out of the way of the cheerleaders, who were also prac- ticing in the Old Gym, it was well-prepared to meet Red Hook, a bigger and more experienced team, in its first match. Although WRESTLING SCHEDULE Red Hook 17-11 Red Hook 21- 9 Wappingers 15-13 the Oakwood team lost this match, it gained the experience it needed, and, as a result, beat Red Hook 23-9 in a return engagement a Week later. The last of the sea- son's three matches was played against Wappinger's, but the Oak- wood team, with three hrst-string members sick, lost. Wrestling created a large enough interest, both as a participant and a spectator sport, to secure a per- manent place in the Oakwood win- ter sports program. 'tak H933 '

TRACK HE live returning members of last year's track team started working out early in the season, eagerly anticipating defense of the hard won Dutch- ess County Scholastic League Championship. With Bob Fatherley as fulltime coach, we added new mem- bers to swell our ranks. Facing the team are six meets, two of them county competitions, and two others dual encounters. Field events will include high jump, broad jump, and javelin and discus throw as well as the shot put. The 220 and 440 yard runs will supplement the shorter distance dashes.

All six are returning members of last year's team, but they find they have new problems facing them this season. The team has no regular coach this year, so Mr. Goodyear, who is coaching baseball, gave them a hand with organizing the team and planning the schedule. However, the boys will not receive much individual coaching. There is also the problem of limited space for practicing and playing, as I. B. M.'s courts, which we used last year, are no longer avail- able to us. The team is determined to have a good season in spite of its handicap, and with its spirit, it has a good chance of doing so.
