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

LA CR OSSE Originally a sport played by the Canadian Indians as abaggatawayn and now the national game of that country, Lacrosse is today gaining prestige as a popular American intercollegiate sport despite the fatigue and roughness that parallel it with soccer and ice hockey. New here at the Maritime College, Lacrosse was intro- duced two years ago by Bob Bauernfeind, Bill Erb, and Albie Renz. Their enthusiasm and devotion to the sport instilled in others the desire to play, and today the Priva- teers have a highly regarded Lacrosse club on the inter- collegiate level. The team, playing under varsity status for the first time this spring, is coached by Dr. Herbert Millington, chair- man of Economics Department. Dr. Millington, a qualified coach, carries as his credentials seventeen years of active competition, four of which he played with St. Stephen's College and the remainder of the time with the Montclair Athletic Club. During its first year of operation the club gained the in- valuable experience and coordination necessary for good teamwork as well as an understanding of the rules and basic formations. This was accomplished both on the black- board and out on the field with intersquad battles. The following year seven intercollegiate scrimmages were held. Maritime, while winning three and dropping four, tallied 37 points to its opponents 56. Opening up their season with C. W. Post, the Privateers came out on bottom, 14--4, with Bauernfeind scoring two and Bob Behr and Joe Gustafson, one each. Matched against the seasoned veterans of the New York Lacrosse Club in their second contest, the stickmen faired well, bow- ing by just two goals, 7-5. Bauernfeind paced that attack with four tallies, while Behr added the other. Gathering momentum in their initial starts the Lacrosse- men made their mark in the victory column, defeating the City College of New York, 6-3. The big scoring punch was again supplied by Bauernfeind who had two tallies. Renz also contributed two, while Erb and Larry Kenny hit for one apiece. Too much confidence and an excellent team deterred their drive momentarily as they bowed to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 17-2, but the stickmen rebounded the following week, copping two contests, the first over Farleigh Dickinson, 9-4, and the latter against Stevens Tech, 8-4. Bauernfeind and Behr did the dam- age in both contests, gathering twelve points between them. Dave Holster, Terri Thompson, Al Davis, Renz, and Erb also scoredg Bauernfeind's three goals in the club's final contest of the season was not enough to get the winning record, as the Mariners fell to Nichols College, 7-3. RIFLER T Iltilizing a heavy practice schedule and the experience gained from the 1962-1963 season, the 1963-1964 Rifle Team came to its own by mid-season. Although there were only five experienced riflemen on the team in September the aforementioned hard work has raised the team average some forty points above that of last season. This year Fred Pratt raised the Maritime match record to 287 out of a possible 300, while Captain Tim Chichester tied the old standard of 285 once and Paul Pribis, the up- state wizzard, hit the ancient mark twice. Thus far this year fFebruaryj the team stands fourth in the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Rifle League as compared with fourteenth place this time last year. Starting for the sharpshooters in the matches were Pratt, Jim Gully, Chichester, Prebis, and Bob Lane. They were backed up by Pete Richard, John Wanner, John Frieman, and Lance Turner. As Eight Bells went to press the Rifle Team's ledger stood at 8-3-1. By mid-February they had polished off Columbia Q1363-13331, Pace C1363--12751, Brooklyn Poly C1392--9055, Rutgers of Jersey C1367-1333l, St. Francis of Brooklyn C1391-12552, C. W. Post Q1376- 1348l, Stevens Tech Q1389-1363j, and New York City Community College C1383--12741 in short order while bowing to such notables as St. John's C1420-1382l, St. Peters of Jersey Q1415-1392l, City College of New York C1408-1376j, and tying the United States Merchant Marine Academy at 1376.
