Mtzzmgwj. lijamify me5fgng HOSE few hardy souls who were privileged to observe Scotty's strong men in action this year were greeted with a pleasurable surprise, for although the majority of our veteran matmen graduated last year, the team was a comparative success. Outclassed as to their experience by their cauliflower-eared opponents, they managed to bring in a number of overwhelming victories, including two shut-outs. The credit for such unexpected success lies entirely with Harrison Old Slewfootn Scott, who ably coached his untried team. Conscientious conditioning was also a major factor in the team's success. Outstanding among the Varsity this year were Dave Bohman, who remained undefeated until the last match of the season, and Charlie Sheldon and Spencer Meredith, both of whom turned in excellent per- formances in the manly art of mutilation. Naturally no mention need be made of the teams semi-pros, 1-larry Scott, and Bill Dougherty. Kissack, Boehmer, Taylor, Hutton, and hammerlock Houck are obviously worthy of attention. Getting off to a poor start against a veteran N.Y.U. freshman team, the Trinity grunters and groaners were closely edged out in a meet with the Columbia freshmen. This was followed by a series of defeats by Valley Stream and Poly Prep. The Big T then defeated Stony Brook, 54-0, Lynbrook, 42-0, and Hackley, 54-15. They closed the season by losing to Scarsdale, 25417, and Long Beach, 30-8. 40

Ahiwzt: Hogan fCapt. fmzmify Ziwgefdaf INNING its first contest of the season, and not letting up until the final game, Trinity's basketball team completed its only un- defeated schedule in the scho0l's history by rolling up twenty vic- tories, Led by two ot' the IPSL's high scorers, Bill Hogan with Sits points, and Bill Goralski with 310, the Varsity squad swept its ten league games. 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. During the season, the Varsity hoopsters beat Poly Prep twite, 62-52 and -18-Al5. ln a tight contest against lilair the Big 'l' was trailing, 22-Zl, at the hall, but managed to pull through an exhibition of freezing near the end to win 57-5-I, The last two games of' the season were runaways against Riverdale and llorace Mann. The former was beaten 85-Zi, and the latter 72-sill. 59 Y

Lack of practice due to the bad weather was in some measure responsible for this poor showing, five games being rained out completely, and most of the rest being played in the mud and cold. The Blue and Gold nine started off the season at a fast clip with the height of destructiveness coming in the Poly Prep game, when Walker, Goralski, and Quortrup all walloped homers to spearhead a 14-hit attack. However, this hit production fell off considerably until, at the season's end, jim Walker was the only .500 hitter. The pitch- ing department was fairly reliable with Fliess, Walker, McCrehan, and Kenny handling the mound chores. The outstanding feats of last season were many. Among the most praiseworthy of these were jim Walker's fine win over Hackley by a 2-1 score, while striking out 16 battersg Winnie Fliess' no-hitter, 1-O victory over St. Paul's in which neither pitcher gave up a hit over the first seven innings, Bill Goralski's seventh inning double with two on to give Trinity a 4-3 win over Pingryg and above all the cooperative spirit that was shown throughout the season among both the regulars and the second team.
