5- . it I -' '1 f 5 al fllll Ul'l'l'l' 1 AMPERED by the loss of all but three of last year's lettermen, Mr. Groebli's Soccer team had to fight inexperience as well as strong opposition. The squad maintained good spirit throughout a rough season, but came out with a record of three losses and one tie. The weakness of the team seemed to lie in the backtield, forcing the line to remain on the defense throughout most of the season. However, the timely saves by goalie Hines kept the scores down to a reasonable balance. Newcomer Ed Babington also sparked the team from both line and backfield positions. ln the first game Trinity was clearly an inexperienced and easily tired underdog, and suffered its worst defeat, 11-O, at the hands of Riverdale. The Booters came to lite in the next game and scored an early penalty shot against McBurney. However, after the score was tied Trinity again tired and lost in the second overtime period, 2-l. At Hacklcy the game was sloppy for both teams and the Blue and Gold came out on the short end of a 3-0 decision. ln the final game with Birch Wathen the team performed with more precision than it had all year. The backfield was good enough to let the line play the offense, which led to the second Trinity goal of the year. How- ever, Birch Wathen scored on a direct kick to make the score l-l when darkness stopped play. lt was an unavoidable lack of sufficient practice for a green team that led Mr. Groebli to look to the future for the benefits of this season's work.

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 . .

Absent-Bonbrighl, NDER the capable tutoring of Mr. Stotter, the inexperienced mat- men compiled a record of two wins and tour defeats. This does not give a true estimate of the team's ability, as eight of the eleven letter winners were first-year men. Starting off the season the grapplers were overwhelmed by Leonia, New Jersey State Champions, 29-5, however, the team swung back into stride with a decisive victory over a strong New York Military Academy team, 2l-lO. Then, after losing two close contests to Poly Prep, l9-l7, and Scarsdale, 2l-7, the matmen finished the season by losing one more to Stony Brook, 28-13, and by trouncing Hack- ley, 31-5. Again Harry Scott was the stalwart of the team and set the pace with a record of four wins and one tie. During his six years on the Varsity he accumulated a record of forty wins and six defeats and has been undefeated and high-scorer for the last three years. The team was also bolstered by the efforts of three first year men: Feron, Gault and Gidley. Feron had a record of three wins and one defeat, Gault and Gidley turned in 4-2 seasons. ln the lighter weights Fleming and Bonbright shared top honors, while Spiropoulos had two victories before he retired. Though six letter- men will graduate this year the outlook is encouraging considering the good showing and active participation of many underclassmen during this last season. 213 144...,m,,, va ratify
