Under the guidance of our popular coach, Ken Seixas, the squad worked hard, fought hard and did its utmost to leave a better record. Roger LaViale, the team's captain, on the number one court, and Anton Moro, playing on court two, led our racketeers to a 5-l trouncing over St. Paul's for an auspicious sea- son's opener. With Bruce Shoemaker, Edward Willi, Keith Black and Tony Hussey filling in the remaining positions, the netmen defeated Stony Brook and Manhattan Freshmen, 6-l and 4-2, respectively, but in turn were blanked by Pingry and Horace Mann, 5-0 and 5-O, and then lost to Poly Prep. The racketeers were victorious over Birch Wathen, 5-2, and dropped the remainder ofthe matches to Hackley, Columbia Freshmen and Pawling, At the annual Trinity Field Day the netmen played until dusk before losing a heartbreaker that was fraught with suspense, drama and action, to our sister school. With undaunted determination the Trinity netmen went to Pawling, hoping to take this last match for this was a big one for our team, to take this one would mean wind- ing up the year with a .500 average. But the fates were against our boys that day and the Big T came out on the short end of a 5-4 tally. 47 ,O Sr gy! f f I

Uaraify Um.-L 1951 Q c lga ll fl , I Q A OING through an unusually hard schedule the Varsity Track Team, made up mostly of green runners, turned in a record that ran the gamut from good to poor. lnconsistency marked the team's performance in four dual and two invitation meets. The Trackmen emerged victorious in but one meet, downing River- dale, 64-3l. Being cutclassed in the other three dual meets by vet- eran runners, Coach Ballentine's runners dropped the Hackley foray, 58Vg-55 ZA, lost to Poly Prep, 73-40, and were edged out by Trinity- Pawling, 55-49. ln the second annual Trinity Invitation Track Meet the cindermen showed their ability to break up the points in the big meets by trailing first place Stony Brook by only four points, to annex second place in the meet. The first four teams in the highlight of Trinity's track season were: Stony Brook 27, Trinity 23, Hackley 22112, and Millbrook l7V1. Performing hard but without much suc- cess in the Ivy League Meet, the Blue and Gold appeared on the tally sheet behind three other teams, scoring l3V1 points to Poly Prep's 52V2 points. Although there were no record-breaking performances this sea- son, many of the spiked-shoe club turned in good personal tallies. The team depended heavily upon Dick Taylor's consistent perform- ance in the l20-yard high hurdles and the 220-yard low hurdles. The only other power on the squad seemed to show up in the mid- dle distances with John Lamb, a constant point getter in the 440 and Peter Rogers and Bill Guild showing up well in the half-mile. Other mainstays of the team were Roy Schock, Spiros Segalas, Dick Heller and Ted May. Front row-McCulloch, R. Paul. Seated-Gross, Harrison, Taylor, Schock, Lamb, S.

Mgr.l. unior antify joofdaff LTHOUGH this year's .l. V. was in some degree weaker than in previous seasons the squad had enough fight to finish unde- feated. The record was four victories and one tie. The opening game at St. Paul's gave the team its first victory by a score of 16-2. ln the next game with Poly Prep, the squad faced its toughest opposition. Poly scored early and kept getting stronger as the game went on until Captain Joe Minnis intercepted a pass deep in Trinity's territory, carrying it to the opposition's three-yard line. From there Trinity scored, but they missed the extra point and received their only tie, 6-6. The second string saw much of the action in the Horace Mann game and came up with a 33-19 win. The next game, with Hackley, was one of the season's most exciting. The opposition had a 9-O shut out going at the half and looked like it would keep it, but Trinity came back in the second half and eked out a 17-I6 victory. Englewood fumbled in the early part of the final game, tackle Long grabbed the ball and raced 30 yards for a touchdown. Englewood never recovered from this play and Trinity closed the season with an 18-7 win. lt was strong, heads-up ball that made this year's J. V. squad a winning outfit. 48
