The Soccer Season Led by co-captains Kit Cain and Charley Barclay, the 1954 soccer squad wound up the winter term undefeated. In the first game with Phelps, the teams, very evenly matched, managed to score one goal apiece. The Saints came through, however, in an overtime period, to break the tie and wind up the game with the score 2-1. In the next game, an unusually good scrimmage with a Middletown High School team, the SAS team scored 4 goals to Middletown's 2. Two weeks before the end of the season the squad again played Phelps School, this time on the Phelps held. The Saints scored early in the game and then again in the third period. Phelps also scored in the third quarter. 'In the last game of the season, the SAS second team played a much improved Middletown squad to a 0-0 tie. Unfortunately, the two games scheduled with Wilmington Friends were both forfeited by Friends because they were unable to get to SAS on the days of the games. llltiirtff THE SQUASH TEAM Nuckols, R., Mitchell, G., Peterson, Hathaway, Brumbach, Whelihan, Mr. Hawkins.

Senior Eleven The Sr. 11 squad this year, handicapped by a lack of experience, lost all four of its games to faster, older, and more skillful teams. On Oct. 6, the team opened its Eeasqlon with a 30-0 loss to Middletown on the home el . The second game, against William Penn, a fast team with a lot of football knowledge, was hard-fought but dropped, 20-0. The Midget Reds journeyed to Wilmington Friends on the 2nd of November and played the best game of ball they had played all year, but were overpowered by a much larger team and lost, 23-O. In the final game of the year, a return match with William Penn, the team showed the tremendous im- provement in playing skill which it had made under Mr. Weigand, but did not show any improvement in the prevention of enemy touchdowns and ended the season with a 27-0 loss. Six Man This year's Six-Man football squad began its battle for the cake in October after a period of practice scrim- mage. The hrst game, an exciting contest decided in the last few minutes of play, was won by the Red team under the able leadership of M. Quillin. In the next games, however, the Yellow team, sparked by the in- vincible John D. Cogswell, took and maintained the series to end the season the winner of the cake. The Yellow team consisted of: Shettle, Q.B., Cogswell and Court, H.B.g Vermilye and Levington, C., and Abbott, David Barron and Duke, End. The Red team included: Quillin M., Q.B.g Rowland and Brownell, I-LB., Hulick C. and Rightmyer, C., and Goiran, Thomp- son and Richard Barron, End.

VARSITY WRESTLING The 1954 wrestling season was considered a successful one, even though the record of three wins and six losses might not indicate so. All of the matches were hard-fought, and many were not decided before the final two or three bouts. Prospects for the '55 season look good, as the Saints lose only Campbell and Captain Tony Philippi. The returning squad will include such stalwarts as Cogswell, Harris, Kadzielewski, Price, Teuscher, Turner, Spangler, and Rodgers. For their first match the Saints journeyed to Germantown, Pa., and handed Penn Charter a 24 to 16 defeat, revenging a loss of the previous season. Cogswell and Campbell pinned in the first period, while Spangler pinned in the second. Teuscher, Turner, and Philippi all racked up strong decisions. The next match was more closely contested, the Saints being the victors over Wilmington YMCA, 27-23. Cogswell, Kadzielewski, Price, and Turner all picked up impressive first period pins, while Smith got a match saving pin in the second period. Rodgers tied his heavyweight opponent. S.A.S. sustained its first loss of the season, 23-15, when it sent a crippled team to Peddie in New Jersey. Teuscher was the only St. Andrean to pin. Cogswell and Macintire decisioned while Harris and Veasy tied. The Saints' second loss, 24-14, came at the hands of a strong Episcopal High School squad the following week. Price, Teuscher, and Captain Philippi decisioned while Spangler contributed a lone pin. St. Andrew's hit the winning column for the last time when they defeated Severn, 20 to 13. Price, Teuscher, Spangler, Philippi, and Rodgers all decisioned. Harris added five points with his third period pin. A fairly powerful aggregation from Haverford School handed the Saints their third loss, 24 to 15. Harris pinned his opponent in the second period, and Spangler pinned in the third. Rodgers decisioned in the unlimited weight class. The Delaware Freshmen squad proved to be a little too strong, and the Saints suffered their worst defeat of the year, 24 to 6, despite some very close bouts. Wrestling an exhibition at 117 pounds, Macintire pinned his Delaware man in the hrst period. However, the other freshmen turned out to be a good deal less cooperative, and the only winners that counted for St. Andrew's were Turner and Philippi, who decisioned. Seeking revenge from the defeat earlier in the week, the Saints wrestled hard against undefeated St. Alban's. Nevertheless, the St. Alban's group proved their superiority in conquering the Red very decisively, 29-9. 'Cogswell and Teuscher both tied their opponents while Scotty Turner wrestled a very aggressive bout and pinned his man in the third period. The last bout of the season was perhaps the most thrilling. Wrestling another undefeated team at George School, St. Andrew's demonstrated a terrific will to win, coming from far behind to tie the score. The match was undecided until the last bout, after which a highly elated George School team left the mats victorious, 21 to 16. Cogswell started the match with a close decision, but his three points stood alone until Teuscher decisioned his man. This provided a sorely needed spark. Turner followed suit with three more points. Spangler scored an exciting pin and Captain Philippi tied to total 16 points, but St. Andrew's was forced to be content with driving George School hard to keep their squad undefeated.
