In perhaps the most interesting game of the season Trinity won from a power- ful Wesleyan team that had defeated many good elevens during the year. Trinity scored a goal three minutes after the game had started, but the Cardnals were not to be denied, and when the half had ended they were on the long end of a 2-1 score. In spite of the fact that they outplayed our team during the second half, Wesleyan was unable to find the net again. With only seven minutes to be played Wesleyan was still leading and a Blue and Gold victory seemed a long way off. But in the remaining minutes Trinity scored two more goals and won a well deserved victory by the score of 3-2. In the final game of the season Trinity lost to a superior Amherst eleven which used a seven man attack that proved unstoppable. There were two notable factors in the soccer team's playing this year. The players cooperated at all times so that there was no one man on whom the team depended 5 and there was a desire to scrap for the ball which is so often lacking in players. The team will miss Liddell, Burnside, and Childs, who played an outstanding game at goal all season, but with Mowbray, Warren, McGarvey, O'Brien, Banks, Motten, Warner, and several players from the freshmen squad back, there is a large enough nucleus to build an even stronger team next year. THE SUMMARY Trinity 1 Hartford High 0 Trinity 3 Massachusetts State 1 Trinity 2 Connecticut State 0 Trinity 3 Wesleyan 2 Trinity 1 Amherst 6 Squash During the past year squash has gained perhaps more ground at Trinity than in any other year since its introduction here but a short time ago. The six courts were in use almost constantly, and a record number of students took up the sport for the first time this season. An informal team was organized on a more efficient and more highly developed scale than ever before, and this team met with unusual success. Trinity finished second in the B division of the Connecticut Valley Squash Racquets League, numbering among defeated opponents teams from M. I. T., the University Club, the New Haven Lawn Club, the Hartford Golf Club, and the Pittsfield Country Club. For the second time in three years the Intercollegiate tournament was held at Trinity. Representatives from Yale, Harvard, Princeton, M. I. T., Dartmouth, and Amherst were entered in the tournament, which was won by Keeler Sargent of I-Iarvard. Mason, Hollins, and Hall, the three Trinity entrants, were all eliminated in the first round. Hollins was elected President of the Intercollegiate Squash Racquets Association for the coming year. In addition to the first team, which met with such great success, and which was made up of Robert L. Hollins, John A. Mason, Hoffman Benjamin, Bayley Hall, and Robert Bain bridge, a B team was organized to compete in the third division of the Connecticut Valley League. While this team was not successful in winning a majority of its matches, nevertheless the increasing number of enthusiasts gives hope of as good a first team and a better second group for next season. Certainly squash has made a place for itself as one of the more popular sports at Trinity. 177

INFORMAL SPORTS Cross-Country Although it is not a recognized sport, cross-country running has added consid- erably to the interest of the fall athletic program at Trinity. Intramural runs have been held annually for the past three years, but it was not until 1932 that a regular team was formed to participate in intercollegiate contests. Under the direction of Ray Oosting, Director of Athletics, the 1933 team finished a season that may be called exceptionally good in View of the fact that it was the largest and most rigorous yet undertaken and that the schedule included schools at which intercollegiate cross-country was already well established. Four meets were held last fall, three of which were won by the Blue and Gold team composed of Gladwin, Mountford, Castagno, Bauer, French, Lane, and Athearn. On October 20 the team won its first meet from St. Stephens at Annandale, N. Y., by a score of 23-33, on a course of three and a half miles length. Gladwin finished in second place, Mountford third, Castagno fourth, French sixth, and Bauer seventh. A strong Connecticut State team ran away with the second meet by a score of 15-40. The two teams ran on the 3.4 miles course at Storrs on October 24 in a pouring rain. The first five places were captured by Connecticut runners, Gladwin finishing sixth and Mountford seventh. On November 3 the Wesleyan harriers met defeat in our first run against that team. The meet was held on our home course of 2.5 miles length. The score was 20-35. Gladwin took first place with a time of 14 minutes, 4M seconds. Mount- ford, Bauer, and French finished in third, fourth, and fifth places respectively. The last run of the season was also held at home, on November 10, the Blue and Gold runners edging out the Coast Guard team by a score of 26-29. Mountford finished first in the time of 14 minutes, 12M seconds. Gladwin took third place and French, fourth. All members of this year's team but two, Gladwin and Lane, were Freshmen, so that, despite the loss of Gladwin, who is a veteran of two years' standing, the prospects look bright for next year's season. Soccer Although soccer is still an unrecognized sport here, many fellows of consider- able ability came out for the team, and the sport this fall enjoyed its greatest suc- cess since it was started at Trinity. The team lost only one game, winning four. The season was ushered in with a victory over Hartford High School in a closely played contest which gave the soccer team's followers a pessimistic outlook for the remainder of the schedule When, however, it defeated a strong Massachusetts State Team, which had lost only two games in three years, the team proved that it was capable of playing a fine brand of ball. Trinity completely outplayed the State eleven, much to the surprise of everyone. The team then conquered a scrappy but totally inexperienced Connect- icut State Team. Although this was no surprise to the Trinity followers, it ap- parently was a shock for the Storrs men, as it was clear that they fully expected a victory. 176
