Uar5ify C1055 Cotinfry AST fall, under the able coaching of Mr. Ballentine, the cross country team wound up its second season of interscholastic com- petition with a very commendable record. The season ended with three wins and an equal number of losses, plus a ranking of seventh in the AAPS Championship Meet held at Van Cortlandt Park. The team was composed of eight seniors: Ballentine, Beattie, Bur- well, Butler, Luckstone, Milener, Norris, and Wolti. Dick Norris shouldered the responsibility of the third place slot while Ballentine and Burwell carried on their feud for the fourth and fifth positions. In the first meet of the season, the team was victorious over a strong Blair squad by a score of 26-29. A week later they lost to Ford- ham Prep, winners of the AAPS Championship, by the same score. The squad overcame the Columbia 'i1's, 24-51, and again saw defeat at the hands of the New York University '5l's, runners-up in the Freshman Intercollegiate Championship, by a score of 56-19. They lost again in a close meet to Stony Brook by one point, 28-27, and wound up the season with a perfect score victory over Poly Prep, 15-40. The highlights of the season were the AAPS and Stony Brook meets. Eugene Milener took fourth place out of ninety runners in the AAPS, and he and Wolf broke the Stony Brook course record.

The Blue and Gold rolled through the six-game season with four victories, one tie, and one defeat. It was evident to pre-season observers that the backfield of Kimtis, Goralski, Lyons, and Fliess was top-notch, but many shook their heads at the seemingly weak line. However, under Mr. Scott's rigid training, the forward wall came through in fighting style. Such men as Hogan, Cox, Alohnston, and Hutton showed outstanding ability. The Big T opened the season by shutting out Adelphi, 19-0. On the following Saturday, Coach Nevin's crew travelled to Pingry where they won, 19-6. This game was highlighted by a spectacular return by Trinity of a kick-off. Don Kimtis took the ball, cut toward the side- lines, pivoted, and sent a backward lateral to Bill Goralski, who went seventy-four yards for a touchdown. In its next contest, the Blue and Gold trounced Hackley 25-6. In the second quarter, Don Kimtis fired a long touchdown pass to Doug Lee in the coffin cornerf' Coming from behind, Trinity tied Englewood 13-15 in the fourth game of the season. A last-second pass from Don Kimtis to Gerry Lyons in the end zone and Bill Goralski's conversion saved the Varsity from defeat. After losing a close contest to Riverdale 14-6, the Big T rebounded to overwhelm Stony Brook completely by a score of 20-0 in the season finale. 36

JXN S N4 'f- gs! 3 1 If Y 19. . f F i . :fy mx sa lijamify Siaccer HIS year, under the direction of Mr. Groebli, soccer became a Varsity sport, playing a full schedule against top opposition. Despite the fact that Ted Phillips, one of the team's veteran backs, was injured at the beginning of the season, and that the squad was recruited mainly from the Third and Fourth Forms, the team tied two of its games and lost the others by a narrow margin. Although no games were won, there were many thrilling moments and many instances of teamwork and good sportsmanship. The most exciting contest was the one against Columbia Grammar which saw both teams tied by a score of 1-1 at the end of the official time. To determine the winner, two additional Hve-minute periods were played during which Hogan scored on a penalty kick. It seemed that Trinity had won, but Columbia Grammar came lighting back to score in the last thirty seconds of the second period, and Trinity missed its best chance of the season. The team also tied McBurney, and lost hard con- tests to Lincoln, 2-Og Birch Wathen, 2-1, and Kew Forest, 2-O. Gonzalo Alvarez was the mainspring of the squad, as he was last year, and his clever footwork often elicited the admiration of the opposing team. Bill Hogan, Trinity's part-time center halfback, always played a superb defensive game, as did Bill Black, Bob Peek, and the Moro brothers. Sealed: A. Moro, P.
