Backing up Kisling at the oars in the boat that was just nipped by Maine Maritime in the cherished race are Robert Blaney, Richard Casey, Robert Schadran, Peter Pia- seckyj, Roy lfVrenn, Tony Savas, and Ernie Mott. In outside competition before the International Race Kisling's team sunk the SS Bergensfjord crew of the Nor- weigian American Lines, while Bill Craft and Austin Brit- ton's crews Hnished third and fourth, respectively. The following week the Bergensfjord's crew got revenge, defeating Craft and Britton easily. The first week in May saw Craft, Kisling, and Britton defeat the USNS Upshur in that order. During the ensuing week the Upshur re- turned for revenge, but again fell short, finishing fourth be- hind Britton, Craft, and the SS Esso Panama. The Esso Panama took another stab at the cadets one week before the big race but was defeated by Britton in a close finish. tk

Seims picked up where Cooper left off, hitting on six field goals during the first half, giving the Privateers a 33-25 halftime edge. McIntosh, by doing the bulk of the scoring late in the second half wound up high again for Mari- time in b,oth the scoring and re- bounding departments, with 17 and 16. The hoopsters hit on a mere 30W from the fioor in bowing to Rutgers of Newark at the Newark Boys' Club, 79-67, February 4. Only Fruehauf could find the range and he led the scorers with 19. Seims had another hot Hrst half, to lead the basketballers to a 30-30 intermission deadlock, January 9, against Danbury State Teachers College. A balanced scoring attack by the starting five and Fisher in the latter half paved the way for the teamis first victory of the new year, 69-59. STEVENS INSTITUTE ON TOP, 61-54 The Mariners carried a 1-5 ledger into the Christmas vaca- tion following a 61-54 loss to Stevens Institute of Technology, December 16. Down by as much as ten mid- way in the second stanza, the Pri- vateers, paced by Cooper, who tallied three field goals in a row, brought the count to 52-52 with 3:45 remaining on the clock. Behind by two hfteen seconds later, Coach Recordon returned Ryznar and McIntosh to action to cope with the far taller Stev- ens' squad, but they failed and the Jerseyites snowed the Mariners un- der with six quick points to wrap up the win. Cooper, who was leading the club with a 52.195 mark from the fioor at the time, was high scorer with 20. He also paced the re- bounders with 10. MARINERS DEFEAT PACE FOR FIRST WIN lN4cIntosh fiipped on one of two free throws with three seconds left in the game to give the basket- ballers an insurance point and en- able them to defeat Pace College, 52-49, for their first win of the season. The victory also ended a 24 game losing streak over three seasons. The win should have never been fought down to the wire. i'Vith Cooper leading the way. the Mariners opened up their greatest lead of the 1963-1964 Campaign. taking a 13-0 advantage before the ten minute mark. After missing thirteen in a row from the field, however, Pace found the net, but so did Ryz- nar and Seims who put on a final spurt to carry the Privateers to a 28-17 halftime lead. Pace roared back after inter- mission and, taking advantage of Maritimeas notorious scoring lull at the beginning of the second half, hit for the 33-33 equilizer at 7 140. From there on in it was a mat- ter of exchanging buckets, fouls, and free throws, until a McIn- tosh tally put Maritime out in front for good with 3:00 left, 44-41. Cooper was high man in the 15, while McIntosh paced the re- bounders with 18. McIntosh, cold at the charity stripe in the Stony Brook en- counter, missed the first shot of a one-and-one situation after time had run out on the clock, en- abling the Long Islanders to walk off with a 60-59 victory, Decem- ber 7. MARITIME AHEAD AT HALFTIME, 27-21 Maritime went into the inter- mission break with a substantial, 27-21, lead despite the antics of State's seven-foot center Gene Tinney, but the margin was not enough as the aforementioned cold spot froze the Mariners long enough for Stony Brook to catch up early in the second half. State took over the lead at 30- 29 with just 3:36 gone after halftime and kept up with the lNIariners until Ryznar and Bishop opened a six point gap some six minutes later on three quick field goals. Here Maritime ran into scoring difiiculties, canning only one shot in the next four minutes.

AILI G The Maritime Sailing Squadron, under mentor Cdr.. Harry Clark, started off its spring season with a second place finish in the Kings Point Invitational Meet. Moving on to Army and the Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sail- ing Association Spring Championships the Mariners lin- ished up in the middle of the fleet. With competition over in the late spring, the squadron spent all of its spare time cruising the Sound looking for opponents with which to race its newly acquired Shields class sloops, donated by Mr. C. Shields of Larchmont, N.Y. The fall season saw a mixture of Shields boats, dinghys, and monomoys entered in a number of races and emerge successfully. As the winter came on, the Privateers were still seen out on the river readying their boats and new crews for the upcoming spring season. Officers responsible for uniting efforts in the newly or- ganized squadron are: COMMODORE-R. DUCK V. COMMODORE-C. MCINTYRE R. COMMODORE--R. CURTIN SAILING TEAM CAPTAIN B. ZIMMERMAN Xfl xt 75
