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.

Mr. Maxim did a very commendable job in molding a great start- ing five, as the retords will testify, The team featured the fast break style of offense and alternated between a zone and a man-for-man defense. Witli only three holdovers from last year's squad, Bill Goralski, Dick McCQrehan, and Wiiiiiie lfliess, and an outstanding neweomer, liill Hogan, there was keen competition for the other starting berth. Stan Lee finally won it. Later in the season, when Dick Mcfrehan became sick, liill Miller took over his post. Defeating Dwight in the opening tontest, All-Zl, the Varsity had fairly easy sailing until the De La Salle game, Coming from behind, the lilue and Ciold won, -I7--I I, in the last setonds.
