arsity Soccer St. Paul's had a disappointing season this year, however, the team on occasion did show some very creditable play. ln their best display of teamwork the Saints overcame Trinity in an overtime by a 3 to l score. Colton Hough was the offensive spark as he booted in all three goals. David Maynard, who was selected as goalie for Honorable Mention on the All Ivy league soccer team, did some magnificent blocking in this game. ln the last game of the season the Saints held their arch rivals, Poly Prep, to a l-1 deadlock through double overtime. Again it was Hough who saved the Saints. The team was thoroughly keyed up for this game and constantly threatened the Poly goal. Seated: Giebel, Murphy, Hough, co-captains Nicolai and Spitzer, Courtenay, Cuic, Biddle. Standing: Coach Donovan, Merk, Cuff, Paulsen, Hill, Strohmeyer, Soechtig, Morrione, Fenno, Weidner, Seligman, Wettengel, Greenidge, manager O'DonneIl. St. Paul's inability to score consistently was shown in the six games they lost by l-O or 2-l scores. The forward line was always hustling and constantly threatening its opponents, but, due to a lack of enough practice as a unit, it was checked again and again. Since the forward line had many players of equal ability, there were constant substitutions. Usual starters in the forward line were Hough, Cuff, Greenidge, Kortlucke, and Cuic. J. Wagner, Seligman, Brown, R. Paulsen, Courtenay, and Murphy added reserve strength. ln the halfback positions were Spitzer, Biddle, and Ladd with Bryne, Morrione, and Wettengel supporting them. The three players who vied for the fullback positions were Nicolai, Strohmeyer, and Soechtig, if-lil!-T X4

The first loss, that against Riverdale, portended the disap- pointment the Poly game reaped, St. Paul's was favored, it lost 28-7. The single Red and Black touchdown was in the fourth period when HB Malmstrom passed to end-placed Haynes. Caryer ran the conversion. Of the other Ivy League games, both were victories, both white washes. Trinity was scored upon in the first two quarters for a I4-O rout. MalIett's TD was only eight plays away from a fumble recovered by LT Whittaker, the second was scored on Malmstrom's seventy-yard run. Carver and Mallett made good their conversions. The same three scored the points for the 20-0 win over Stony Brook. Each player made a TD with Carver making the conversions. The second loss of the season was to extra-League Friends' Academy, 28-14. St. Paul's tallied at the opening and the close of the game. Two plays after a pass interception Mallett scored. Carver ran his 8th conversion of the season. LG Hed- rick secured a fumble and two plays later Mallett scored again. The conversion was good. The first non-Ivy game was played on Oct. ll against Woodmere Academy. The contest was no contest, it was a runaway. Touchdowns were scored by Mallett, Clayton, Malm- strom, Ludlow, Gibson, Frey, conversions were made by Car- ver, Matthews, and Hein. The end game score was 39-0, It would be difficult to list the achievements of the St. Paul's defense in general and linemen in particular. Yet this year's linemen won more honor than any of their predecessors since the League's inception. Mike Adams, accorded the most praise, was picked for four first teams, Bill Lister was chosen for a sec- ond team and an Honorable Mention, while Tom Monaco lLTl made a second team, Four backs received ten honors: Jeff Mallett, the Fathers' Association's most valuable player winner, made two first teams and three Honorable Mentions, Dave Carver and Wes Matthews one Honorable Mention, and Ivar Malmstrom two Honorable Mentions. Fifteen boys received varsity letters: Adams, Carver, Clay- ton, Gibson, Haynes, Hedrick, Lister, Ludlow, Mallett, Malm- strom, Matthews, Monaco, Steinhauff, Whittaker, and Wil- Ioughby.
