Dann, took on its large schedule with a determination which, coupled with real almility, won for them eight of the twelve games on their list. The first game of the season, against Poly Prep, saw a rather disorganized, nervous quintet how to this 'Gset-shooting Brooklyn team, l7-l4. More determined after suffering this defeat, the ,l.V. squad, whittled to its nucleous of eleven men, won their next game from the fast, well eoaehetl St. Paul's team. Losing the next encounter to Horace Mann. Mr, Dann introduced a new system of zone defense, and, after a week of prac- tice on the new system, the squad hegan to take the upper hand in its engage- ments. ' The team seemed to function hest, as is expected, on the home eourt. winning five of tl1e six home games. The one defeat at l1ome was suffered at the hands of Horace Mann, one of our greatest rivals, in an overtime period after a hard fougliitgi tie gwne. The ,l.V, split the two games apiece with Poly and Lincoln, easily takingihoth these teams at home, hut howing to them away. The liineoln game on the victor's court was all Trinity for the first half, hut in the final period our opponents came from hehind to take the game hy a slight margin. Un the second encounter, however, the Blue and Cold left Lincoln on the short end of an l3-l5 seore. Two victories were scored against the Irving five, one on eaeh court. The Tarrytown team was defeated 20-9 on the 9lst street floor in a preliminary to a Varsity tilt, and again at the end of the season they howed to the then seasoned ,l.V., 27-l5. The other three games of this year were walkaways for the Blue and Cold: a defeat of the Trinity freshmen, a 51-17 triumph over Kew Forest and an easy 4-2-24 victory over Bireh Xvathen. Everything considered, the ,lay Vee team had a very successful season, due mainly to good coaehing and a fine team spirit. 112

WRESTLING TEAM NQUES'l'lUNABl,Y, the I944- Wrestling 'lleam eannot lie said to have had an extremely sueeessful season. ln view ol' the faet. however, that this was 'l'rinity's very first year in interseholastie competition. and that her opponents were of the highest ealilier, the reeord is not one of whieh to he ashamed, Under the alsle guidanee of Nlr. Harrison lBreak his arm if you ean't reaeh his neekl Seott, the raw material of the team was molded into a line eondition, within a few weeks after the lneginning of the season. Stan Napier was eleeted Captain. and the remaining memliers of the squad were arranged as follows. aeeording Io their weight elasses: 95 Llp. Class Sehafer l35 Ll: Class Baird IOS Lli. Class P. Smith L10 Lh Class Napier IIS Llr. Class del Rio H-5 Lin Class Seudde lf.'5 l,li. Class Meliee 155 Lil Class Bell I30 l.Ii. Class de Haas H15 Lli. Class Harris The three meets which Trinity partieipated in with Ueeanside, Lynlbrook and Nlalverne, respeetively, all resulted in losses for the Blue and Cold. All of our matmcn gave their very hest. hut the marked superiority of their opponents was the deciding factor against them. With the experience gained this season, and a large numlier of the squad returning next year., the prospects for the i945 Wrestling Team are very hright. and we sineerely wish them the hest of luek in their new enterprise.
