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

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

unior Uardify gaJLefLa!, UFFERING from a lack of height and experience this year's J. V. got off to a bad start, losing six games before getting a win, and turned in a record of six wins and ten losses. Mr. Nevin's squad looked good in the first half of the opener with Hackley, but the superior Tarrytown team played a strong second half, beating the Blue and Gold, 27-i6. ln the next game Adelphi got going in the later stages of the first period and romped over the struggling Jay-Vees, 53-40. The Poly Prep game was the first show- ing of the J. V. that amounted to much, but still the opponents managed to hold a three-point lead to win 38-35. The squad finally came to life in the seventh game of the season and defeated Mc- Burney, 55-35. Following closely after this was a 66-34 crushing defeat of Barnard. The most spectacular game of the season came with Riverdale. At the end of the half the visitors were ahead by a twenty-three point margin, however, the scrappy J. V. battled to a one-point vic tory during the second half. ln the final game the squad closed out the season by defeating Stony Brook Most of this year's squad is in the sophomore class and so should be around to play ball next year. With the three l00-point men all returning, Coach Nevin can look ahead to a brighter season next fall .f 'i, at 1 -il s f' X l l I Seated-Tank, Nussbaum, Nerhood, Buckner, Scully, Jackson, K. Hill.
