THE HOC KEY SEASON This year's hockey squad was only slightly more successful than last year's. The hnal record of five wins and seven losses with one tie is a mark which should be topped with ease by next year's squad. The team exhibited a great amount of potential but failed to put it to good use with any regularity. The first line was unable to play with the coordination and hnesse of which it was capable but the second line helped to compen- sate for this by its inexperienced bitt aggressive play at all times. There were times, however, when the team played the sort of smart, precise hockey which produces victory. Gill Peabody and Steve Gravereaux turned in creditable jobs on the defense despite Steves lack of seasoning and the recurrence of Gill's old football injury. The two most outstanding contests of the year were those played against Hotchkiss and Choate. In the hrst of these SKS defeated Hotch- kiss for the nrst time in nine years by the score the team scoring with of 6-5. John Farr led three goals. The second of these games was the closest one of the year with Berkshire. In the aside from the 3-S tie third period with two minutes to go and three goals down Trent Smith poked in two fast scores in a final rally which fell one goal short of the mark and left Choate with a 5-2 win to its credit.

The hitting was greatly improved over that of last year's team and there were three batters, Farish, Comstock, and Coes, who hit well over .300 But even with this wealth of hitting talent, the team could do no better than to win four games. This was largely due to the fact that the offense and defense could not work well together. The first game against Berkshire was won by the score of 1-0. Pat Smith pitched a two hit shutout, recording 15 strikeouts. However, due to the collapse of the pitch- ing staff, South Kent lost its next seven games, even though the hitting constantly improved. But on May 9th, Bob Comstock put new impetus into the team by pitch- ing the team to an 8-2 win over Millbrook. South Kent played its best game of the season in defeating Westminster on M0ther's Weekend. The team amassed 14 hits and played nearly perfect ball afield. Len Gibbons paced the eleven run assault with four hits while Will Farish and Dave Wheelock collected three hits apiece. Westminster was only able to get two hits off Pat Smith, but his occasional wildness allowed the opposition to score 8 runs. Smith continued to pitch good ball but loose fielding allowed Wooster and Salisbury to defeat the Cardinal and Black in the next two games. In the Fmal game of the season S.K.S. eeked out a 2-1 victory over The Gunnery. Smith allowed only five hits while Farr, Coes and Comstock paced the South Kent attack with two hits each. The highest praise should go to Messrs. Adkins and Richards, for their excellent coaching and advice which we hope will be well rewarded next year. Hewat.
