and l'l'l'll lllIf0 Um lhircl gl'1H'Tfl'ffllTb lifeless. Amherst fans gloatingg Trinity fans puzzled, disappointed. General opinion: that the Trinity players were off. So the defeat is attributed to the vicissi- tudes of sport. In addition to the loss- Pete Rihl and Jack Carey badly hurt. Pete spending several days on his back, several weeks in a plaster cast. Jack out for the remainder of the season. Then a little social life . . . the Senate dance. Informal, both in dress and de- meanor. Everybody relaxed and friendly. Bernie Solyn's Knights of Trinity on the bandstand. The music-smooth and pro- voking-surprisingly good. flloonlight Serenaflc, T0 You, Oli, You Crazy flloon. I 15 Yvomen galoreg nice, too. Many a tetc- 51-tete. Punch: the watered blood of Mc- Fall. Push and be pushed! the maxim on the dance Hoor. Once in a while a good dancer. The athletes, minor gods, receiving due homage from admiring females. Much fun enjoyed by all. Good Night S-wcetliffart at oneg then to the eateries. Perhaps a drive through the night. Faces half lit by the momentary glow of cigarettes. Quiet talk, voices drowsy, contented. Or perhaps no talk. Just the night and the hum of tires on the road, And the headlights shooting out in the darkness, the dust particles caught in the glare. Occasionally the rush- ing sound of a passing car. Then good night and hack to the room. Sleep. l

Billy Ryan completely unfit to playg so he does not count. Captain Carey donning his uniform merely as a gesture. Best game of the year. YVesleyan wins.VVhy? Not because of superior men, but because of overwhehn- ing numbers. Joe Beidler's injury in the first half. A telling loss. The Trinity boys outplaying VVesleyan for three quarters. Then out on their feet, allowing YVesleyan to score the winning touchdowns. Espe- cially noteworthy: Don VValsh, junior back, who had not practiced or played all year, drafted by Dan for the Yvesleyan gameg with less than a week of conditioning, he guts his way through sixty minutes of tough footballg and he puts on a beautiful exhibi- tion of blocking. Also Frank Fasi, one hun- dred forty pound center, taking .lack Carey's place. Fighting, tackling. blocking. and passing surprisingly well. No worry about next year. And Dick Iiindner, calling 11141 brains . f act inn ! cn nz era .' signals in Pete's absence. A nice job too. He always does good work. So the season ends .... Dan looking forward to next year. Optimistic as al- ways. Some senior letter men not return- ing. But good material still on tap. And even if the boys flop, they will hustle. Dan! teams always do. lVhat more can we ask? Besides, there are the freshmen .... Not a very good team. But hopes for a few of the youngsters Cthey can always become intellectuals anywayj. Wveisenfluh, tail- back, will develop. Knowles, blocking back. still awkward. Fay, center, is big and strong. Might prove useful-but who are we to say what will happen in the next year or two? Even the lowliest member of the squad may become a star-especially under lJan's skillful tutelage. And now a touching tribute: . . . To the coaching staff ffeeling, fighting, work- ing, and undoubtedly suffering with the
