44-41 Qasketbaff The i958-'59 edition of the Red and Black basketball team was, for the most part, an inexperienced unit lacking the depth and ver- satility of last season's club. However, the team showed excellent spirit, and, under the coaching of Mr. Routcliffe, soon developed into a speedy, fast-breaking outfit that won a fair number of games. Returning from last year's team as the nucleus of the '59 squad were 6'4 Hecgan Bayles and the two backcourt aces Frank Nico- lai and Harley Schwadron, This trio was supplemented by the two fine players, Richard Virag and Wesley Matthews. Rounding out the squad was 6' David Reddall, 6'3 John Willets, William Wagner, John Hein, and John Nottingham. The Saints started the season in fine style by edging out St. Dominick's and Friends Academy by 79-71 and 56-55 scores re- spectively. ln their first lvy League encounter the Red and Black by virtue of a miserable performance from the foul line lost to Stony Brook, 56-51. St. Paul's continued to play erratic basketball and lost to Poly Prep and then to Adelphi, Horace Mann, and Trinity. ln what later proved to be the best game of the year, the varsity quintet, playing four quarters of alert basketball, defeated Hackley 58-55. Harley Schwadron and Heagan Bayles paced the Saints with their fine offensive and defensive play. With the return of three Fifth Formers and two Fourth Formers, the outlook for next year's squad seems bright. nfs-wt NN-wud Kneeling Nottingham Schwadron, Wagner, Hein, Virag.

The Saints, defending lvy League Champions, had hopes of repeating again. However, it seems that the loss of Bill Stetson, whose pitch- ing record was l0-l and batting average .471 , and numerous errors cost us many ball games. ln the opening game against Adelphi, Frank Nicolai pitched a 6-0, no-hit victory. Disappointment came when the Saints proceeded to drop the next four to Hackley, 3-0, Horace Mann, 13-3, Poly Prep, 5-2, and Stony Brook, 6-2. Hackley was able to score three unearned runs in the first inning, iust enough for a triumph. Ten errors allowed nine unearned runs to be scored by Horace Mann. Three errors were committed in the Poly game, while thirteen errors were the rule for the Stony Brook game. The games with Adelphi and Trinity were won ll-l and 4-3 respectively. Poly again tripped us 4-3 with three unearned runs. Stony Brook beat us 6-4. The final game of the season we won over Trinity, ll-9. Carver, Mallett, and Templeton were the leading batters. Letters were awarded to Bardi, Buchanan, Carroll, Carver, Hein, T. Hough, Mallett, J. Moss, Nicolai, Rueck, Stone, Templeton, Willoughby, and manager Garment. 62
