Losing only to Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, the men of the squash pits rolled over seven straight foes. The season was climaxed by a resounding 6-3 victory over the Middies at An- napolis. The future is even brighter for next year, leaving the team will be Captain Steve Silvasy, Ray McQuary, and Didi Voss at graduation. Returning are the other six members of the ladder, led by the Oehrlein brothers, John Leyerzaph, Joe Bob Lake, Steve Danah, and Tom Genoni. The elder of the two Oehrleins, Ernie, will captain next year's team which promises to be tough to beat.

Team Captain Lou Sturbois RIFLE This year marks the retirement of Sgt. Major Oscar Gallman, one of the truly outstanding coaches and shooters in the country. His team this year provides a fitting capstone to a highly successful career in shooting which began in the mid-1930's. For a season average, the team compiled an excellent 1440, to tie the previous high record average for a West Point team. In only one match, against St. John's, was our performance disappointing. The other two losses came by one point against perennially strong West Virginia, and by two points against Navy, 1449-1447. The Navy match was marked by both teams firing excellent scores, which at that time were their second high of the season. Rebounding from this, the team, paced by the outstanding shooting of the Cows and Yearlings, rode roughshod over RMC and Air Force the next week, and swept the annual NRA sectional here the week after that. The sectional was marked by a new academy record for a four man team, 1160. Only one letterman, Captain Lou Sturbois will be lost to graduation, while five outstanding underclassmen return. Yearling Bill Bradburn paced the team in average score, followed by John Ward, Mike Wikan, Steve Solomon, and Lou Sturbois. Fine pressure shooting was displayed on several occasions by Firsties Al Chapman and Gary Coe, Second Classman Larry Bramlette, and Third Class letterman Ladd Metzner. With graduation taking so light a toll, and a fine Plebe team, ably coached by Cow Mike Miller, the prospects for next year are bright, indeed. 398
