Vince Wilcox f 1751 placed second in their weight classes. Co-captains Rosenbaum and Shaw finished third and fourth respectively. The Tournament was a great success and promises to be- come an institution in the School. An outstanding example of the team's spirit was the unique announcements made at lunch. These announcements enhanced the popularity of wrestling as a spectator sport, and everyone looked forward to them as entertainment. They put originality into the usually dull matter of sports announcements. The Varsity was well represented by each Form. Jon Arterton, Pete Rosenbaum, Braclcley Shaw, Vince Wilcox, and Rogers Howard were Seniors. The Juniors developed a strong core of wrestlers which often was the team's mainstay. Mike Reuss, Greg Young, and Bob Hardaway were outstanding but only because of the pressure placed on them by Roger Clapp and Doug Cornell. Sophomores Bill Yates and Tim Golding were also on the Varsity. The only Freshman consistently on the Hrst string was Spencer Gay. SEASON SUMMARY The J.V. also produced good talent. Georgetown Won '50-3 Sophomores Jim Gray, Bill Rollings, and Phil Rosenbaum worked hard and gained St' Stephens Won 27-19 valuable experience as did Freshman Charlie Severn Won 31-10 Hamlin. It is hoped that the J.V. schedule . will be expanded next year if there is a Episcopal Lost 14-23 greater turnout. Landon Won 24-14 This year,s 8 and 3 record was impres- , sive, but the season was much more than that. Sunland Lost 20-21 The coaches were devoted, and the team was O'Conne1l Won 25-14 a team, united and full of spirit. A new tournament was started and more attention Landon Won 26-16 was brought to wrestling. Finally, strong po- Mercersburg Lost 3-36 tential was developed for next year. This S St h W 2117 team's fine spirit should continue next year t' ep ans on ' under the new Captain, Mike Reuss. Georgetown Won 23-22 -PETER ROSENBAUM THE ALBANIAN 81

The Varsity broke its two-game losing streak with a win over much-improved Priory 51-48. Woodruff led the attack with 14 points. Friends overcame a 22-point performance by Ogilvy to beat the Blues, who led most of the game, in their second contest of the year. Woodruff and Jimmie Hudson scored 21 and 9 points respectively to lead the Blues to a 55-34 trouncing of St. James. Since 1957 the Saints have lost to Landon, who has had such notables as Buzzy Bastable, Fred Hetzel, George Manger, and Bobo Berger in their lineups. This year the string was broken in a wild contest for which the whole School turned out. Rubino, who scored 14 points, took the game into overtime with a jump shot seconds before the buzzer. In the overtime, the Blues out- scored the Bears 9-3 to give them a 59-55 victory. Ogilvy led the scoring with 18. The Saints then entered the Saint Stephen's Tournament.

In the Consolation final, St. Albans lost to Good Counsel 54-48 despite a 21-point performance by Ogilvy, who made the All-Tournament Team. Fifth-ranked St. Stephen's eked out a 52-50 win over the Blues, who were playing without Rubino, who was out with a cold. Don Symington pulled down 8 rebounds and scored 7 points to lead the Blues to a 65-51 victory over St. James in which thirteen Blues scored. Rubino and Mack Wilkinson led the famed St. Albans zone press, which forced Georgetown Prep into many errors as they lost to the alert Blues 64-57. The Saints outscored the Baby Hoyas 27-8 in the final quarter to give the win to St. Albans, and with it, a winning season. Ogilvy made the All-IAC team, and Captain-elect Woodruff made Honorable Mention.
