. . against Boston College Freshmen an inspired comeback-and a successful season. Freshman Team Though obscured by the brilliant performances of the Varsity this year, the Freshman team was quietly but efficiently chalking up its own string' ot victories. Matched against some of the strongest teams of the Man- chester circuit, the Hawk Fledglings never dropped .1 game, while on the road they twice trampled a helpless Merrimack College, defeated Laconia, and the University of New Hampshire Frosh. The most outstanding game on the Hawklet's schedule, however, was a defeat. This was to the Bos- ton College Freshmen. Before a crowd of nearly 2000 fans, the Frosh beset by nervousness were at the mercy of the Heightsmen. At the halfway mark, however, though trailing by a discouraging score, the Frosh came from behind to knot the game up in the closing minutes in one of the most rousing comebacks seen on Manchester courts. Sparked by freckled faced Kiley's hard fighting and Bill Ridge's accurate set shooting, the Frosh nearly took the game, but were edged out in the last minute of play. Standouts on the Frosh Team were Woody Stone, who at mid-term became a member of the varsity, Bill Ridge, a cool hard working player, and Jim Driscoll a lankyicenter with a valuable reach. The Frosh have showed their potency and will be of inestimable value in next year's hoop Wars. . . . the Hawk fledglings - to fill the gaps in next years squad.
