VARSITY BASKETBALL ITH all the spark and drive that it takes to make a winning team, the Varsity Basketball Team upheld a now well estab- lished tradition of top-notch basketball, as they rolled through an ambi- tious nineteen-game schedule to pile up a final record of seventeen wins and only two losses. After decisive early season victories over Friends Seminary, Newark Academy, and the Trinity Alumni, the Blue and Gold was defeated by a strong Yale Freshman squad. Back on their own court, the hoop- , sters got back to winning ways with victories over Adelphi, St. Pauls, and Riverdale, but suffered their second and final defeat at the hands of Horace Mann, 45-49. It was after this defeat that the team launched a winning streak that was to carry them to the Ivy League Cham- pionship. Six victories followed in rapid succession, as the team battled in F HW second place behind Horace Mann who was setting the league pace by 3 remaining undefeated. Following a 77-58 victory over Blair in a non- league game, the Big T once again engaged Horace Mann, and by J taking a 59-43 decision, earned a first place tie. In a subsequent playoff ' for Hrst place, Trinity emerged victorious in a thrilling, hard-fought contest by a 39-37 score to take their second league title in two years. Recognition is due Coach Maxim for the fine job he did in molding a high powered starting outfit of Spiros Segalas and Tom White at the forwards, Anton Moro at center, and Lou Magelaner and Bruce Johnson or Bob Bean at the guards.

VARSITY TENNIS 1950 RINITY'S netmen had looked forward to a successful season and were not disappointed in this respect. Under the excellent coaching of Ken Seixas and our undefeated number one man, Mike Debany, the team won six out of eight matches. Not only the stellar playing of Debany, but also good depth and aggressiveness pulled the racketeers through many a tight match to turn in one of the best records of recent years. jim Fixx and Roger La Viale held down second and third singles positions, with Anton Moro, Chris Santa Cruz, and Pete Fulton filling the remaining roles. Lack of practice was obvious as the Blue and Gold lost to Poly Prep 645. Hackley, Riverdale, and Stonybrook were all subdued by the booming rackets of the netmen. Victory was eked out at Riverdale by a 3-2 margin. La Viale in a two-hour match defeated Riverdale's third man to tie the score at 2-25 Debany and Moro then clinched the victory by winning their doubles match. After losing to Horace Mann, the team bounced back to end their season by defeating Adelphi, St. Paul's, and Trinity-Pawling with wide margins. The high point of the season for Trinity occurred when Mike Debany brought home the victor's cup from the A. A. P. S. Tennis Tournament. Mike, seeded first, defeated Horace Mann's second seeded Dick Raskind in the finals. Pete Fulton, Anton Moro, and Roger La- Viale, also representing Trinity in the tournament, were defeated in the second round. 45
