Though they lost three out of four contests to Friends, they managed to wind up the season with a record of five wins and five losses. In a very close game not decided until the last minute, the Baby Blues nosed out Friends 17-14 for their Hrst victory of the season. The following week they were again victorious, this time over Landon by the score of 13-9. After absorbing a 25-12 beating from Georgetown Prep, they lost to Friends by an 11-8 count and edged out Landon 14-13 in return games. A close game and a real heartbreaker for the Blues was their 26-25 loss to the Georgetown Prep team on the victors, court. Though Bill Stevens and Bob Shorb helped the team ring up their largest scoring total of the year, Georgetown never re- linquished its 16-14 halftime lead. The next week the Blues downed Landon in a 16-15 thriller. The game, which had been close all the way, was won in the final minutes when Lyman Myers sank the deciding basket. ln the final game at Friends, the Baby Blues led 7-1 at the half, but despite the defensive work of Jimmy Collins, Friends outscored them in the second half to win 19-14.

After dropping the first two games, they managed to bring the season to a successful conclusion by winning their three Hnal contests. The Baby Blues were beaten 21-6 by a driving Georgetown Prep team in their first encounter of the season. Although the Blues managed to tally late in the game on a pass from Shorb to Willauer, they were outscored by Georgetown. In the next game they fell prey to a strong Landon team by the score of 12-0. The following week they won their initial Victory of the season by winning from a weak Longfel- low eleven by a 21-0 count. Stevens and Collins were responsible for the touchdowns. Having gotten off to a late start, the Baby Blues then won the fourth game of the season by defeating Landon in a return engagement. The victory over Landon was in revenge for the 12-0 defeat the Albanians had suffered at the hands of the Browns earlier in the season. Two touchdowns by Bill Stevens accounted for the Blues' scoring, which gave them a 13-7 vic tory. The Baby Blues won their third vic- tory defeating Friends by the close margin of 6-0.

Baby Blue Baseball LTHOUGH the Baby Blue Baseball team had played only two out of seven sched- uled games by the time the Albmzian went to press, and although these two games re- sulted in a record of one loss and one tie, the team showed signs of having a poten- tially successful season. Playing Sidwell Friends on April 26, the Baby Blues lost 5-6 in a close, exciting overtime game. The score was tied in the sixth inning, but in the seventh a member of the Friends team made a two-base hit and came in on an error. Four days later, in another overtime game, the Blues tied Landon, 3-3, on the Browns' field. Captain Bob Shorb, pitcher, and Guy Steuart, catcher, formed the Blue battery. Heavy hitters in these first two games proved to be Watkins and Monteith, and play- ing a Hne game in the field were Stevens and Eckles. On the whole, the team was good in the field but not exceptionally strong at batting. This fact was due to the tendency of the Baby Blue batters to strike at few balls which did not suit their taste. But in spite of this tendency, the team has played two excellent games, and the prospects for next season look bright, since Bogley, Wat- kins, and Henry will be returning, and the third team of the Upper School will bene- fit by the addition of Eckles, Monteith, Shorb, Steuart, and Stevens.
