SOUTH KENT SCHOOL' Ham 'N Eggers: Bruce Banning blocks puck shot by Hotchkiss player No. 36. Players are, from left to right: Bob Hast- ings, Banning, Chip Monck, Dan Gravereaux, Alan Mathews, No. 36 Hotchkiss, Reeve Cantus, and unidentified Hotchkiss player. Old Man Winter was not overly kind this year, but he was considerate enough to allow each League team to play twelve or thirteen games apiece. The race was close this year and the Old Men still posed their usual threat. They were bolstered with the addition of Father Chase and one clay they even had Mr. Whitte- more on the ice. The Ham 'N Eggers did not have a great deal to write home about, but they did well in their own right. It is dillicult for a disjointed team to play successfully other teams which have been practicing together every day. Bob Hastings, Tom Allan, Bruce Banning, Lenny Gibbons, and Chip Monck were the more familiar fig- ures on the team, While George Worthington, Pete Kemper, Henry Lavino, and Arthur Moody helped a great deal. The Midgets, who are Second and Third Formers selected from the Leagues in the same manner as are the Ham 'N Eggers, won three of their four games this year. Steve Graveraux and Bob Dickerson were the more prominent figures in the scoring column, while Tom Leever, Perry Butler, Nate Tracy, John Richards, and Steve MacWillie also contributed to this department.

The combination ap- parently confused them as they did much better in the Gunnery game when they used primarily the single wing formation. Although they lost all their games, the Kids did play good football at times. John Farr gained the largest percentage of rushing yardage and made the greatest number of tackles. Reeve Cantus did a splendid job quarterbacking. The rest of The Kid Game Captains: Brian Woodward, jack Triplett, Pete Lee, Reeve Cantus, and John Farr. the backfield was made up of Brian Woodward, Nate Tracy, and Peter Lee. Ted Madara and Titus Moody were guards on each side of Center Jack Triplett. jack Coleman played one tackle while jack Agate, Dave Seaberg, and Roger De- Vore spelled each other at right tackle.

Still there were spots of some very good baseball on the Kid diamond. jim Allen was the main hurler for the Kids. He was relieved by Bruce Banning and Jim Schwartz. Ruf Coes did an excellent job catching. The rest of the infield jobs were filled by Len Gibbons at first base, Steve Merrill at second, jim Schwartz at shortstop, and Bob Dickerson at third base. The Midgets' fine record of eight wins, three losses, and one tie gave them the valley championship. Pitching is the mainstay of any ball club and Tuck Ingersoll pro- vided the Midgets with some excellent hurling. Short- stop Keith Braden was described by THE PIGTAIL as the sparkplug of the Midgets' infield . Some of the others who made themselves known either at bat or in the field were Deen Baldwin, Ted Madara, 'Marcus' Haines, Jeff Geilich, and Tony Adams. The lowers crews were outstanding in their greenness this year. Six members of the Fourth and Fifth boats were New Boys while others included converted baseball men and an ex cox. The Fourth boat iinished the season with Bob Rodenberg, Cox, Chip Monck, Strokeg Marshall Pea- body, Threeg Gill Peabody, Twog and Chad Lockwood, Bow. The Fifth boat was composed of George Gilliam, Coxg Rogere DeVore, Strokeg Jim Barr, Threeg Peter Finch, Two, and Stan Marsland, Bow.
