Tennis Paced by the three veterans remaining from the previous year's team, Mow- bray, Craig and Jackson, the 1933 net contingent rose to even greater heights than they had the season before and won five out of seven matches to set up a new record for future Trinity teams to aim at. Stein, Greenberg and Shaw were the new- comers on the squad, and Mowbray served as captain. In the opening contest the Blue and Gold racquetrnen made an auspicious start by whitewashing Clark University, 9-0. The second match was also a victory for Trinity, this time by a 5-4 score over the Bowdoin squad. Mowbray, Craig and Stein, the top-ranking Trinity stars, all won their singles matches to swing the margin against the Maine college. A scheduled contest with Amherst was washed out by a rain storm and then a powerful Williams aggregation halted the Trinity winning streak with a decisive 9-0 triumph. The Purple, led by Horton, one of the leading college netmen in the country, had too much strength for Trinity. It did not take the Trinity players long to recover, however, for they swept over Connecticut State, 9-0, and followed this with a highly gratifying 6-3 conquest of Wesleyan. Captain Mow- bray and Craig starred, the former upsetting Allen after three extended sets in the feature contest. On May 22, 23, 24, Mowbray and Craig represented Trinity at the New Eng- and Intercollegiates at Chestnut Hill, Mass. They were victorious over Twichell and Clifton of Amherst in the initial round of play in the doubles, but were put out in the second round by Smith and Roundey of Dartmouth. At the annual banquet held in Boston preceding the Championship play, Edgar H. Craig of the Trinity team was elected secretary-treasurer of the New England Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Association for the year. It is interesting to note that this body was founded and organized here at Trinity College. The last two matches of the season were divided. Wesleyan turned the tables to win 6-3, an exact reversal of the previous resultg but the Trinity men came back to close out their campaign with a 4-1 victory over the Worcester Tech. team. This fifth triumph was won despite the illness of Captain Mowbray and the calling off of four of the individual matches due to a thunder shower. Craig, subbing in the number one position for Mowbray, Jackson and Shaw excelled.

Track A setback at the hands of a strong Union College squad in the initial meet of the campaign was the only barrier which prevented the 1933 trackmen from dupli- cating their undefeated record of the previous season. As it was, the team swept through its remaining three dual engagements and placed fifth in a field of ten col- leges at the New England Intercollcgiates. Several records also fell before the on- slaught of brilliant individual performances during the season. Captain Swanson broke a mark of nineteen years standing when he negotiated the half-mile in 2.2 B! 5. Thayer, undefeated in two seasons of competition in his specialty, won the javelin title in the intercollegiate meet, setting up a new Trinity standard of 179 feet 3M inchesg and Daut, captain-elect for this spring, twice equalled the college record of 26.2 for the low hurdles. Union defeated Trinity rather handily in the seasonal opener with a 77-4-9 score. Outpointed in the field contests, the victors demonstrated a decided superi- ority in all of the running events to more than offset this disadvantage. The Trinity runners, especially the distance men, appeared in need of a good deal more conditioning. However, at the intercollegiate games the next week, a picked Blue and Gold squad showed a complete reversal of form, and, by amassing 16 points, gave the best showing a Trinity track representation has yet made in this annual competition. In addition to Thaycr's record- smashing feat, Kellam, the best high- jumper Trinity has ever had, tied for first place with Chase of Mass. State College in this event. Daut also excelled by taking a very close second in the high hurdles. The next dual meet was with Tufts and resulted in an easy 77-49 triumph for Trinity, despite the fact that the losers had edged out the Blue and Gold for fourth place at the New England championships the week previous. Daut and Kellam exhibited great versatility and Gladwin starred in the distance runs. Massachusetts State was even more decisively trounccd in the third encounter by an 87-39 count. Kellam won three events and Daut two. Swanson and Harris featured in the running events. The final meet of the year again found Trinity on the long end of the score, this time with an 86-40 margin. Connecticut State furnished the opposition. Once more Daut and Kellam carried off top-honors. Daut captured three firsts and Kcllam won two, with both men picking up many points in additional events. Thayer and Swanson, seniors, finished in spectacular fashion, and Grant, a freshman, showed his class as a quarter-miler. Prospects this spring are very bright with most of the men back who have been responsible for the fine two-year record of seven victories in eight meets. Captain Daut, Kellam and Warner can be counted on to register many points by virtue of their all-around prowess. Harris, Gladwin and R. Lau will form a strong nucleus for the distance runs. Alexander, Mowbray and O. Johnson in the field events, and S. Smith, Grant and Hazenbush, runners, complete the large list of lcttermen on hand to bolster Coach Oosting's promising squad. 174
