S . . The Bainbridge swimming team, un- der the able guidance of LTIG Cayce, swam its way to a creditable record dur- ing the l948 season. Against such for- midable opposition as Bullis Prep, Drexel Institute, and others, the mer- men managed to break even by winning three of six scheduled meets. The most consistent winner among the Navy men was Bill Miles. Miles lost only one race during the regular season's competition. Two other stand- outs were O'Sullivan and Huck in the backstroke and diving, respectively. These three men also competed in the sm una ,mm 31- ,L FEW, ,..r -. 'W' . ,.., 'A' 4 .,i, Lane, UH A. A.

However, when water takes the form of rain, it can often cause trouble as was the case with this year's tennis team. Steady rains and a leave period left the players with only two days practice be- fore embarking on a schedule which included Hill School, Perry Point, Camp Holabird, the Navy Plebes, and the universities of Maryland and Delaware. The season got off to a flying start with the defeat of the University of Delaware, but was brou 'ht u shar ly by three successive defeats at the hands of strong Hill 8 P School, Marylaiiad, and the Navy Plebes, all of whom showed the advantage of long hours of practice. These defeats proved to be the last, however, and Brainbridge swept its remaining four meets to end the season with a respect- able hve won, three lost record. The sight of such players as Fullerton, Aus- tin, Doe, Bierhorst, Roalson, and Mun- son in the Bainbridge-Plebe matches was enough to stir the imagination of Navy coaches who wished to see a strong Navy team in future years. If Coach Art Hendrix succeeds in securing these players, any worries he might have as to tennis prospects will be ended. Doe, Ens. Cook, Fullerton, Austin, Munson, Mullane Bierhorst, Roalsen.

Early in April, the fairways and tees of the Bainbridge Golf course were crowded with the followers of the great game of golf, answering the call of their coach, Ensign jones. As soon as the greens were put into condition for play, a round robin tournament was held, and the winners of this tournament became the permanent members of the golf team. The golf team from Bainbridge was very fortunate in having on the base a nine hole golf course, one of the finest in the vicinity. Because of this fact, the majority of the matches scheduled with local prep schools and colleges were held on our own golf course, a great advantage for the Bainbridge team. The proximity of the golf course, the teams played, and the air of sportsmanship that prevailed, offered the 1948 golf team a pleasant and prosperous season. .L'aGaa44e First Rau' - H rl- Fronr Row - Stevens, Barry, Ens.

The advent of this fast and thrilling sport in the 1948 season was brought about through the efforts of Head Coach Ens. Waddell and his assistant, Ens. Rumble. Since this is the first year for lacrosse in Bainbridge, the coaches were more concerned with teaching the squad the basic fundamentals and drills connected with lacrosse, preparing them' for ,play ing in the Academy.

However, what the others lacked in experience, they more than made up for in their enthusiasm to learn the sport. Lacrosse provides an opportunity for the aggressiveness and body contact of football, combined with the speed of baketball. This season provided many men here at Bainbridge with an oppor- tunity to learn a new sport. Hall, Appetit T Ries, O'Sullnan.

Section teams were organized to compete in the four elimination rounds that led to the finals. Section 21 defeated every opponent and well deserved the station basketball championship. At the completion of the season, the champs met the intramural champion from Aberdeen Proving Grounds and were defeated after a very hard-fought game. The winning squad consisted of Hansen, Clark, Clarke, Dunsmore, Dagleish, Johnston, Zacharias, and Cooney.
