f947 llfamify Ziwegaff LTHOUGH possessing the potentialities of a first place ball-club last season, Trinity failed to live up to expectations and ended the season with a mediocre 7-4 record. 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.

Black. 1947 ,iAu'5ifry lnnia ECAUSE of rain and extra-curricular activities, the tennis team was slow in getting under way and the squad did not have suffi- cient practice before their Hrst match scheduled in April. The team came through with a total record of one victory and five losses. The Varsity team was composed of Captain Dick Barnes, Bev Sieg- fried, Randy Merrill, john Hutton and Bill Black. The squad was guided by Mr. Riddleberger's excellent coaching, and Sandy Lyman did a fine job as manager. The first match was held with Poly Prep, and, as usual Trinity had a tough fight to score. The team, not having had much practice, lost by a 5-0 score. A few weeks later the team offset this disappointment by playing Barnard, and defeating them, 5-0, the high spot of the season. It then lost four matches in succession: to l-lackley, Adelphi, St. Paul's and Horace Mann, all by the score 4-l. The annual Headmaster's Tournament was held at the end of the season and Dick Barnes won the cup by defeating Bill Black in the finals. Bev Siegfried and Dick Barnes represented Trinity in the A.A.P.S. Tournament at Forest Hills. Bev put up a strong fight but was elim- inated early in the tournament. Although Dick advanced to the finals and displayed fine form and a strong offense, he lost in a match which lasted four sets. 43 ixl ,. fl! J :f
