Varsity Basketball Trinityls basketball team won eleven out of twelve games this season, making the most impressive record yet credited to any Blue and Gold quintet. Although Trinity won its first four games by wide margins, her power was not really known until the Amherst game. This was one of the outstanding games of the season. In a nip and tuck battle which was anybody's game, Trinity nosed out the Lord Jeifs 26-24. Amherst brought a large number of supporters to sec a game which was rough and fiercely fought throughout. At times the referee experienced diiiiculty, so fast and deceptive was the play. The next game marked the only defeat of the season 'or the Blue and Gold, coming from the hands of Wesleyan. Trinity was in ve1'y poor form that night, for the quintet played a sloppy floor game and missed the basket with incredible con- sistency. Credit should be given the Cardinals, however, for taking advantage of all the breaks they could get and playing a very alert game. St. Stephens was Trinity's next victim, but succumbed only after giving the Hilltoppers an unexpected scare by remaining on equal terms during the first half, at the close of which the score was tied at 15-15. Trinity came back strongly in the second half to win by the score 48-30. A far inferior Connecticut State team bowed to the Blue and Gold in its next game. The Pratt game was by far the best played game of the year. With Reiser of Pratt tossing the ball through the basket one-handed from all angles on the court, the visitors stepped out to enjoy a 24-16 lead at half time. During this period Reiser made 17 points and there seemed to be no way of stopping him. In the second half, however, Daut and Kelly managed to hold him to a single point, and Trinity, playing an up-hill game, managed to win out 38-35. Incidentally, thc Blue and Gold was ahead at only two times during the game 5 once in the first minute of play, and again about forty seconds before the final whistle was blown. This latter lead was held long enough by the team to win a well deserved victory. Trinity avenged her defeat by Wesleyan when she trimmed the Cardinals on their court at Middletown, then closed the season with another victory over Connecticut State and a win over Coast Guard. Kearns and Martens will be the only regulars back next year as Captain Kelly, Daut, and Liddell graduate this June. With many promising freshmen on the Junior Varsity Squad however, and the services of Sampers and Kobrosky, letter- men, the prospects of a successful season next year are very good.
