MEN'S As the year began, the first team to represent the Norfolk Braves of William and Mary College was the Basketball team. Coached by Bud Metheny and led by such stalwarts as co-captains Ralph Muzzey and Mac McCurry at forward and guard respectively. Bob Williams at guard. Monk Knight at forward, and Bill Casey at center, the team won 12 of their 25 games. Not long after the basketball season began, the swimming team tightened their water-wings for action. In spite of the skillful efforts of Ronny Kledzik in the dashes, Stan Tugwell on the diving board, and Andy Longton at breast stroke. Scrap Chandler’s team did not have enough depth to win but one of their six meets. When spring vanquished winter sports, the track team turned out to tear up the cinders. Among the many charges under coach Chandler were Harold Haeffner in the dashes, Dick Dickson, who ran the distances, and Ralph Muzzey in DON’T CRY STAN. Andy Longton prepares to hurl his massive bulk into the pool- but he scared Stan Tugwell to tears. We wonder what Bob Porter thinks of such a procedure going on over his head? TENNIS TEAM. Left to right: First row, Alan Swersky, Stan Coleman, Fong Ark, George Morocock, Roy Stanford, Nat Brockett, Carroll Melton. Second row.

ATHLETICS tho broad and high jumps. With the whole team working hard to win. they were a tough outfit. Across the road, behind Larchmont School, one could find Bud Metheny’s baseball team hard at work. Pitching to catcher Mel Gottlieb was John Gray. They were ably assisted by the entire team which included first baseman Walter Forbes, shortstop Monk Knight, and centerfielder Ralph Muzzey. Teamwork and co-operation are what caused their opponents to wonder what hit them. Lobbing and smashing to the great discomfort of their opponents, the tennis team, managed by Reuben Cooper, had many a good afternoon. Up there in the lead positions were Buddy Leatherwood. Roy Stanford, and captain John Tucker. Not to be forgotten in our sports review are the many thrilling intramural games between the various fraternities. Emerging at the top of the heap were the Delta men. I’M TALLER THAN YOU ARE! Bob Spruell seems determined to make a basket if he has to climb a beanstalk to do it. “Don’t look so incredulous, Ralph Muzzey; he’ll make it.” BASKETBALL TEAM.
