McElwain Bab Blue Basketball ARGELY BECAUSE OF the line coaching of Mr. I-Iino, this yearis Baby Blue Basketball team learned the many fundamentals of good basketball. This fact is evident in the team's six-and- three record. Many afternoons of hard practice resulted in the boys' increased knowledge of dribbling, shooting, and offensive and defensive patterns. Among the team's top scorers were Bill Shulte, Carter Good, and John Decker, while Bob Giese and Todd Samperton gave support in the rebounding department. One of the best assets to this year's team was its depth. Bill Minshall, Keene Ray, Nick Grabbe, and Alan Henry all played well and added to the squad's many victories. Two of the three Baby Blue losses came at the hands of a fine Landon team. The other loss was to Sidwell Friends, 33-11. A unique victory for the Blues was the 10-9 victory over Landon in the early part of the season. The hustle and spirit of the Baby Blues this year were mainly the result of Mr. Hinois excel- lent coaching job. These boys should definitely help to raise the quality of Upper School basket- ball in the years to come. -Joi-IN DECKER THE ALBANIAN 117

Brobeck Bab Blue Football HIS YEAR's Baby Blue football team, coached by Mr. Edward Hino, turned out an undefeated record of six wins and no losses. The first offensive team consisted of Don lVlcCandless, Chris Dove, jeff Finn, Bill Minshall, Jack Lanahan, Gene Williams, and Bob Giese. Ed Lewis, Fran- cis Day and Tjarda Claggerr were used as running backs. Captain Randy Rubino was the team's quarterback, while Carter Good, Paul Mickey, and Jim Bradley added to the team's defensive strength. The Baby Blues ran out of a T-formation this season, but plays from the famed shot- gunn offense were sometimes used. The strong Lower School squad started off their season by defeating Georgetown Prep, 18-6. Day and Rubino both scored. The next game was a hard-fought victory over Landon. The only score came when end Bob Giese caught a Rubino pass and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. A week later the Blues beat Sidwell Friends, 26-6. Landon and Georgetown were the last two victims of the 115-lb. team. Landon was beaten at its annual Pumpkin Bowl, 8-0. Rubino scored the lone touchdown on a fifteen-yard run. With the help of the Q'Halloween Specialv Georgetown fell 28-0 in the Hnal game. The running and passing of quarterback Rubino in this game, made him worthy of his Most-Valuable-Player Award. The members of the team will never forget their undefeated season, which was full of high- spirited fun and sustained enthusiasm. '-JOHN DECKER 116 LOWER SCHOOL 1963

Thompson Baby Blue Baseball His YEAR,S Baby Blue baseball team, led by the pitching of Randy Rubino, the fielding of shortstop Ed Lewis. and the hitting of first baseman Bill Minshall, is a strong one. Rounding out the infield are Todd Samperton at third and Alan Beall at second. In the outf1eld are Rolly Redmond, the team's best bunter, in right field, Whit Drain, with a marvelous left arm, in center, and Rick Lankford or Tim Nichols in left. At the beginning of the season the Blues did not have a catcher. Coach l-lino took Don lV1cCandless from second and put him behind the plate. Don has done remarkably well in this position, and now catching is one of the strong points of the team. In the first game of the season the Baby Blues hadnit sharpened their batting eyes, and they squeeked out a 1-1 tie at St. Stephens. Don Mccandless walked, stole second and third, and then scored on a passed ball. In the next game the Blues downed Longfellow, 5-2. The Second Form- ers had a field day at Friends, winning 11-1. If the Blues keep hustling, they will certainly continue these winning ways. -ALAN BEALL 118 LOWER SCHOOL 1963
