knoll It was a wet, cold and dark day at Portland, in more ways than one, as we were knocked from the unbeaten circle by a score of 5-3. Simsbury's brilliant battery of Stocinis and Mainville combined to produce a close victory over Farmington in an air tight game. Stocinis hurled a three hit shutout as his battery mate scored the winning run of a T-O victory. This was followed by a 9-3 win over Windsor Locks with Pete Old Reliable Avery collecting four hits. In winning eleven of twelve contests the talented Blue and Gold array became Co-Champions of the Connecticut Valley High School Conference for the second time in three years. Chosen as one of two schools to represent Class C in the State Tournament, Simsbury justified the choice by going to the semi-finals. Although no official recognition was given, Simsbury would appear to have a strong claim to being state champions among the smaller schools. In the tournament we were first pitted against a strong class B Killingly team. The game was climaxed by George Mainville's base clearing double in the last inning, in which we scored five runs to clinch an 8-5 victory and a shot at the semi-finals. ln the next game as in the first, we were plagued by errors which cost us a probable championship. Woodrow Wilson beat us at West Haven by a one-sided score of 'll-5. lt would be difficult to single out any individual or BEANS qpzfchangy SHS Bug: luv-A gg., , L I es, , 1 t' 'i '5D re' lISK'Pll -,.. .v .Y . .,.,..,.... .jr cw.-. .-7-7 .

J . .x - .' ai.: IZISQ Bolstered by six members of the present Senior Class, Simsbury High completed one of its most successful seasons in the local history of the sport. Starting our season with numerous practice games against higher class schools, we ran up an impressive string of victories. We began the regular season with an extra-inning game against La Sallete. lt took a belated rally to rack up our first victory 7-2. The supposedly strong Farmington array gave us little opposition, as we rolled up an 'li-'I victory. The leading hitters were Pete Avery with four hits and John Dennis and Jim Temperilli with three apiece. Our next opponent proved a little tougher with Skip Messenger and Jim Temperilli driving in the deciding runs of a 3-'I victory over Newington. In our next outing Beans Kane twirled a decisive one hitter, as we drubbed Glastonbury 'l5-'l. Berlin gave us our first real scare as we eked out a last inning 8-4 victory. Behind Ray Fraser's brilliant shutout over Canton, Simsbury racked up its sixth straight victory 'l-O. Walt Mitchell scored the only run. Suffield proved an easy victim as the booming bats of the Blue and Gold slashed out a 16-'I victory. John Bogus' sparkling defensive work at shortstop saved the day as his relay from left field stymied a potential Bloom- field rally, in our 3-2 win. We added more gray hairs to Coach Henebry's head as we lucked out a 5-4 decision over East Hampton. Walt Mitchell's clutch pitching preserved a lead established when Skip Messenger scored the winning run on an infield grounder by Lea Hutchinson, after the tying run had been balked in. -HMM Boone ..4-,jx . 2 , - 5, w 1.
