The team made up for its lack of size, experience, and depth by fight and hustle. ln the backfield, fullback Al Krepela and Captain Harry Scott were outstanding. Tom Feron, Joe Allen and Ronny Boorse on the offense, and Jim Bingham, with Bruce Shoemaker on the defense, also per- formed excellently. The ends were well-protected by Pete Rogers and George Gidley, while Bob Gault, Bob Bell and Ed Veprovsky anchored the middle. Rounding out the line both offensively and defensively were Tony Spiropoulos, Ken Hill, Geoff Disston and John Hanna. ln their first game the Blue and Gold tied St. Paul's in the final quarter, l3-l3. At Adelphi, Trinity scored early in the first quarter and won, 7-O. Against Hackley the Varsity never could make a sus- tained drive, and suffered its first defeat, 26-O. Two weeks later, in the big game of the year, nothing clicked as Trinity was soundly defeated by an undefeated Riverdale squad, 46-7. At Poly Prep Trinity met defeat by the score of 20-7. Unaffected by three consecutive beatings, Trinity played the type of game it was capable of at Horace Mann, defeating them 20-6. ln this game fullback Al Krepela scored all three TD's. Don Hanak, a iunior, played well as he took over the quarterback position for the first time. Finishing the season at Stony Brook, the final game of the year ended in a l9-O Trinity victory. 40

ARSITY Cross-Country had a poor season last fall and the team was forced to content itself with training for the future. Just as our Thinclads were going through a bad cycle, all the opposition was coming up with strong teams. The results were dis- astrous, as the team finished the season with one win, three losses, and a tie for third place in the Ivy League Championships. Their first loss came at the hands of Blair Academy, who shut out the Blue and Gold, l5-40. On the heels of this defeat came another shut out at Stony Brook. ln the third meet, with Poly Prep, the Har- riers were toppled, l7-38. Not all the season was unhappy, however, for the team emerged from the Horace Mann meet with a 23-38 victory, and from the lvy League Championship with a third-place tie. Despite the unsuccessful season, Mr. Ballentine has hopes for some of the newcomers who may do well on future squads. Bob Benedict, Tony Brothers and Nick Martianoff are the runners who will be back next year. Graduated this June were Richard Harrison, who was captain, and Woolf Gross, both of whom have been ever present, encouraging influences on the team for the past four years. ll! . alkil ro.5J Gill II ,fy Q f x t' , , ' fl T' w 'T7 g 1, A . .
