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

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.

Playing a total of sixteen games the team completed the season with a record of six wins and ten defeats, It compiled an Ivy League record of four and eight to finish in a three-way tie with Riverdale and St. Paul's for fourth place. One bright spot of the picture was thc sensational and brilliant all-around play of .lack Hnat. Jack proved to be the sparkplug of the team, scoring 249 points on llO field goals and 29 fouls. Also to be mentioned was Dave Carroll who, scoring a total of l 18 points, excelled at bringing up the ball and setting up the scoring plays. Finishing out the regulars in scoring, Dick Skae had 94, Bruce Shoe- maker l3l, John Hines 4l, Bell 55, and Ed Babington 27. The final record of Mr. Maxim's team was a little misleading as many of the games were hard, fast, exciting and close. One of these games was the opener against Dwight which Trinity lost by a score of 56-55. A last-minute basket and a perfectly executed freeze by Dwight gave them the slim winning advantage. This also was the game in which Jack Hnat scored 30 points. Other cxcitfng games were the closing game with Stony Brook which Trinity took, 60-49, and the game at Riverdale which they won, 55-50. 44
