Sparked by a brilliant first line, the team . played a full season of 8 games, lost only to Champ- ionship Burrillville and high-powered Deerfield, and ended with a 3-2-3 record. The first line, centered by captain Nils Hannerz 0 and with captain-elect Millard and Howard on the wings, furnished, time and again, outstanding ex- amples of well-coordinated hockey. Millard paced the team with 6 goals, while the first line as whole ac- counted for 15 markers. The second line did not possess the scoring punch of the top trio and it was here that the team was weak. Nevertheless, Center A Godfrey turned in a fine performance and served as - an inspiration to his wings Fox and Long. De- fensively the Pomfret six was strong, with veteran goal-tender Ransom flanked by Langdon and Cate, and Simonds and Bryan. The most unique thing about the 1950 Hockey Team was that in a year when all other sports were dominated by younger athletes, this was a Sixth form team. Its unity was superb and if only for this one thing, this sextet can serve as a model for future Pomfret teams.

Moreover, victories by the first two racing crews at the Worcester Regatta upped the count of Pomfret's triumphs at this meet to three consecutive first boat and four consecutive second boat wins. The harbinger of the undefeated seasorLgame when the Witch of the Wave crossed the finish line three-quarters of a length ahead of the hard-fighting Sarum First Boat. The time for the opener was 2:47 a time which was not broken in all the other rags Z, sl Next to be surpassed were St Marks and St George s The powerful First Boat overwhelmed these two crews who finished together by a margin of two lengths in the time of 7 56 This record breaking time, however, was unofficial, as the crews started a length and one half over the line. South Kent fell victim the following Saturday by a narrow gap of five feet. This race was the most exciting of the season, for the South Kent course record was broken twiceg South Kent had the time of 2138.9 and Pomfret was one second better Nwith 2:37.9. X V On May 27, the grueling three-quarter mile course at Worcester tested the mettle of Pomfret's Firsts, and they came through with flying colors. In the first hfkpogafret won by one length in the time of 4: 14 and thus qualified for the finals which were in the afternoon This heat was also won as the first shell nosed out its malor competitor Exeter by four feet in an unrecorded time All tn all seven schools suc cumbed to Pomfret and the Gold Oar Crew hid won the Regatta again THE FIRST BOAT Left to Right du Pont L fCommodoreJ Sizer Somerville Hinsdale Davis W -Q if 'T -1- s-ini .iv 4M ' in '-if ...--V., .rdWf'Q'-07 ...x ' 1 L v ' -f lx: I Q' . 4 4 1 I Y 4 . z 4 . .

THE SECOND BOAT THE THIRD BOAT Left to Right Riker duPont H Boyer Bryan Delafield Left to Right Dodson Blake Harvey Bricken Randall THE WINGS OF THE MORNING This year the second and third crews belabored each other throughout the whole season and perhaps that is why both boats were so good thy knew that the other boat would win if they did not drive hard all the time Thus it was that although beaten in the half mile sprints by the Chariot of Fame the Wings of the Morning edged out their lighter com petitors and became the second boat for the Regatta In the opener at Salisbury, the Pomfret Thirds proved their ability by outdlstancing the Salisbury shell by two and one half lengths in the time of 2 59 Woodstock Lake, the following Saturday, was the scene of another victory Here the Pomfret con tingent outdid their opponents by trouncmg St Mark's and St Georges by two and four lengths respectively The Wings of the Morning traversed the course in the time of 2 59 South Kent, the strongest of the scheduled crews we faced, was also unable to triumph, and once again a smashing success was achieved as our racing shell sped across the finish a length and one-third in front of South Kentg the time was 2:55. It happened, therefore, that the third crew, now the second, represented Pomfret in the Worcester Regatta, and this they did successfully. In the morning heat, the Second Boat effortlessly beat St. Mark's, South Kent and Exeter, the necessary margin being one and one-quarter lengths and in the finals Exeter was defeated by three quarters of a length in the time of 4:25 to obtain the victory. THE CHARIOT OF FAME Drive finesse and spirit were the characteristics of this years Third Boat which produced its fine record At the start of the season this crew overcame the then second boat in the time trials and thus earned the right to race as the second crew It was in this capacity that the Chariot of Fame raced and beat the Sarum sweepswmgers by a half length in the time of 2 52 The no loss record of the second boat was fur thered on the following weekend as St Georges and St Marks failed to catch the Pomfret shell which covered the course in 2 57 The victory was won in the last twenty strokes by a scant but decisive half length Next was South Kent and once again Pomfret had the better crew This race was won by three quarters of a length in the good time of 2 47 In the Hnal week of the 1950 season, the Chariot of Fame lost its chance to race in the Interscholastic Regatta at Worcester when the third boat won the three-quarter mile time trials. Nevertheless, although they finished the season as the third boat, this crew was unbeaten as a second boat and therefore richly deserved their hard-earned letters. Congratulations are certainly in order for those who were responsible for this totally successful season. Indeed the men responsible, Head Coach Johnston, his assistant, Mr. Garfield, Commodore Lit duPont, Manager Ollie Hazard and, in short, the entire hard- working crew squad deserves our most hearty thanks. wflp, R!

This year's series was perhaps the shortest ever played, number- ing three games, however, it can also be called one of the scrappiest. The opening game of the season brought out the fighting spirit of both teams. The underdog Achaeans stole the show in the first half by limiting the favored redshirts to seven points. The latter then showed what they were capable of as Farr, Godfrey, and Chapman all scored. Thus the initial contest ended with a 27-0 Ionian victory. Without Bill Godfrey the next game was harder for the Ionians, who now had no backfield replace- ments. Indeed the Achaeans were ahead until the last fifty-three seconds when Farr's pass to David Stearns set up the winning touchdown. The score was accomplished from the two by Sandy Bricken who went around the end to give the Ionians a 13-7 win. The last game was contested to a scoreless standstill, but the Ionians were credited with the series since the season was officially over. The backbone of the losers was formed by Captain Paul Bartholet, Rush Abry, and Bobby Grinnell. The Ionians, on the other hand, can look to Captain Tom Farr, Bill Godfrey, and David Stearns as the major factors in their success.

THE LEAGUE HOCKEY SEASON The 1950 League Hockey season was unique in that both teams were managed largely by their res- pective captains, final veto power in all important decisions being entrusted to a single, non-partisan coach, Mr. Cooper-Ellis. This seemingly awkward arrangement managed to provide an exciting and closely contested series. In the first game, played on a slightly-smaller- than-varsity size rink, the Achaeans triumphed by a 2-1 count. Wayne Leeis sizzling lift from the blue line scored first for the Ionians when Bill Summer, the Achaean net-tender, was momentarily screened. But the Achaeans' well-organized play payed off in the second period when a Knower slap-shot stuck between the skates of Redshirt goalie Tom Lumbard. Achaean center Dick Daily poked the disc in and tied up the score, then went on to tally again in the third period to sew up the game. J Wig S fig ', I ,. - JW lll- , I , The second game found both teams somewhat out of practice, due to the weather. Second-liners Pope of the Achaeans and Chapman of the Ionians both scored in the first period, but the score remained a tense 1-1 until late in the third. Then Daily netted his third of the season, and for the second time the Blackshirts emerged victorious, 2-1. ln the third and final contest, both the ice and the quality of play had reached a state of mushy decay. Both teams played poorly, the single, game- winning goal coming at the end of a solo dash by Ionian defenseman Wayne Lee. Warm weather ended the season after three games had been played. Linemen Daily, Pomeroy, Captain Knower and Pope, as well as goalie Sumner, were instrumental in the Achaean victory, while Captain Davis, Lee, and net-tender Lumbard sparked the losers. THE IONIAN TEAM The Griffin sincerely regrets not printing a picture of the Ionian team, but not enough members of the team were present at the appointed time to make the picture practical. THE IONIAN TEAM fCaptainJ, Lubin, Bell, Gaston, D. THE LEAGUE BASEBALL SEASON This year a more experienced Ionian nine tri- umphed in a hard-fought league series. Sparlced by the 6th-form battery of Reynolds and Simonds, the Redshirts won three, lost one and tied two. The first game ended in a deadlock, 3-3. Polsby and Jones hammered out timely singles for the Ionians while Reynolds pitched a one-hitter. I-Iall's double was the only Achaean safety. Reynolds again hurled one-hit ball in the second contest to shut out the Blackshirts while his team- mates, capitalizing on Payson's wildness, crossed the plate seven times. Lumbard's first-inning single with the bases loaded paced the Ionian offense. The third game once again ended in a tie, 2-2, as Harmon's one-hit pitching proved not quite good enough. Captain Payson's triple led the Achaean stickwork. Bennett hurled the Ionians to a 3-2 triumph in the fourth contest with a neat two-hitter. The Ionians needed but one hit and Finley's grandstand catch in left field to tag Harmon with his second loss. At last, in the fifth game, Achaean power and Ionian errors beat the Redshirts, 9-2. Lyon pitched no-hit ball for the Achaeans, but his wildness enabled the Ionians to tally twice. This game saw the umpire, future Achaean president Cate, eject future Ionian president Floyd from the game. The final game, Reynolds hurled the Ionians to a 4-3 triumph with two-hit ball. Harmon again pitched well, but all for a losing cause. Bennett raced home with the winning run in the last inning and the series was over. Captain Reynold's 2.75 earned run average and Manager Simonds were unquestionably chiefly res- ponsible for the Ionian triumph. For the losers, Payson stands out as the best hitter of the season with a .555 batting average while Harmon will dehnitely some day be hurling for the varsity.
