IUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL T the beginning of the season Coach Holmgren was faced with the task of molding a winning squad out of a comparatively inexperienced groupg the job was accomplished as the V. Basketball Team turned in a creditable record of twelve won and five lost. The team developed quickly as they won their first three games against McBurney, Lycee Francais, and Friends Seminary. After drop- ping the next three to the superior squads of Horace Mann, Poly Prep, and Adelphi, the cagers bounced back to put together a five game win- ning streak by defeating McBurney, Stony Brook twice, Riverdale, and Barnard. The first Stony Brook game was one of the best of the season. Play- ing on Stony Brook's vast court, Trinity had trouble getting adjusted to its size and was completely outplayed in the first quarter. However, the team began to swing into its stride by the second quarter and out- scored the opponents, making the score 22-17 at the end of the quarter. Stony Brook made a desperate attempt to come back at the start of the second half, but the Blue and Gold kept on fighting to win 38-34. The jay Vee completed its season with victories over Riverdale, St. Paul's and Barnard and losses to Poly Prep and Adelphi. Bill Guild and jimmy Bingham were the big guns of this year's squad. Guild dumped in 129 points for the season, and Bingham followed closely behind with 106. Seated-Adams, M0riCk. Pringle, J. Locke, Bingham. Semnd Rau Mr Holmgren fC0ach Veprovsky, P.

St. Paul was easily defeated in the opener 13-0, with Hines and Pearson scoring. The next game was a stiff 6-O battle with Poly Prep, which the Blue and Gold won with a late touchdown pass from Hanak E to Shoemaker. The Trinity eleven lost their first game in almost three his 4 years to a spirited Riverdale team to mar another perfect record. They w XRFN A E gf, soon returned to their winning ways, however, as the squad downed Y ,jf Englewood 13-0.

IUNIOR VARSITY BASEBALL 1950 1 fi All I me ff' ,mp ! Hx , Q 1, as N a season featuring many tense and exciting moments, the V. Baseball Team compiled a record of three won and one tied. For their opening game, the team journeyed up to Riverdale and played well- coached opponents to a deadlock, Pete Waldburger and john Lamb divided the pitching for Trinity, but were victims in the late innings of bad fielding support which dissipated an early 4-1 lead. Traveling out to Poly Prep, the team hung up its first victory by a 10-2 count. Dave Carroll, Dan Steller, Ed Willi, and john Lamb came up with safe hits for Trinity. In their next game, against Horace Mann, the squad established a season's high of ten hits in a single game, but went clown to defeat by a 19-18 count in a wild and woolly affair. Pete Smith led the hitters with four safeties, while john Lamb, John Locke, and Pete Waldburger split the pitching. Following a 7-3 defeat at the hands of Poly Prep, the team once again got back to winning ways with a 3-0 verdict over Trinity-Pawling. Lamb twirled a three- hitter for his best performance of the season, while H. Segalas, Carroll, Lenzner, and Steller each hit safely to insure a Blue and Gold victory. The season closed on a successful note with a 4-0 shutout victory over Barnard at Van Cortland Park. Herk Segalas was the leading hitter for the season, he punched out eight hits and compiled a .581 average. 50
