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

Lee, Cooper. yulaa RINITY'S junior Varsity football team, under the able direction of Bill Dougherty, played a five game schedule, losing three, tying one, and winning one. The squad lost its first contest in a close battle with Riverdale, when they scored two points as an opposing tackler seeped in and milled Charlie Sheldon behind the goal line. In the Horace Mann game the Blue and Cold played a tight defensive game giving up only one touchdown to the much stronger opponents making the final score 6-O. Against Poly Prep the IV. fought a hard game, coming within a few yards of the goal line twice, but was unable to carry the pigskin through the tight defense of the opponents. Besides the snappy offense there was also a brilliant defense which kept the Poly backs from scoring and resulted in a tie. In a return game the IV. squad lost to Poly Prep 12-0. In the fourth game of the season the j.V. team took their places on the field to meet Riverdale for a second time. The Blue and Gold kicked off and after four downs Riverdale had lost yardage. The snappy eleven then marched up the field to score seven points, Lou Resseguie carrying the ball across on a quarterback sneak. Rickey Parsons ran the ball across for the extra point. In the third quarter a Riverdale man made a touchdown on a long run. They missed the extra point and the final score was Trinity 7, Riverdale 6. 44
