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.

Swlmmmg Trinity swimming concluded its second season as a recognized sport with the creditable record of five victories out of an eight meet schedule. The Blue and Gold swimmers ran up a total of 340 points against their opponents' 260, decisively defeating Coast Guard, Massachusetts State, Union, M. I. T., and Worcester Tech. Their three reversals were met at the hands of Amherst, Connecticut State, and Wesleyan. Evidence of the great improvement of this year's team over its predecessor is apparent in the fact that Trinity swimmers this last season set four pool and college records and broke six records standing from the year before. The first meet of the season, with Coast Guard at Hartford, was won by a score of 54-23. Trinity took Hrst place in every event except the 100-yard dash. In this contest a new pool record for the 50-yard dash was set by Mowbray at 25.3 seconds. The second encounter was carried away from Massachusetts State at Hartford by a score of 48-29, Trinity scoring first place in all but the 220-yard and 200-yard relay events. Captain Coit lowered the old college record in the 200-yard breast stroke. The contest with Union at Schenectady gave the Blue and Gold their third straight victory by a score of 50-21. In these foreign waters three college records were broken by Trinity men. Coit lowered his recently won record in the breast stroke, Onderdonk clipped the old record for the 220-yard swimg and the 400-yard relay team set a new college record in their event. All but one of the events were captured by Trinity in this meet. M. I. T. was the fourth opponent on the schedule. The Trinity tankmen easily won this encounter in their home pool by a score of 55-22. Trinity took seven out of the nine events. Two pool and two college records fell at the hands of Trinity swimmers. The first defeat of the season came at the meet with Amherst at Hartford, the latter winning by a score of 48-28. Connecticut State provided the second defeat with a score of 50-27 at the Storrs pool. Although the Connecticut team won by a large margin of points, the teams were closely matched, many events being won by inches only. In the next meet Worcester went down to defeat, conceding Trinity's fifth victory by a score of 40-28. Trinity's opponents took but one event, the 400-yard relay. The culmination of the season was marked with disappointment when the Blue and Gold team suffered its third defeat in the contest with Wesleyan at Hart- ford. The latter won by a score of 49-28. Mowbray set a new record of 57.7 seconds for the 100-yard dash in this meet.
