QQTHLYAV: ev' Xa V I 'A M 4 . BM' 'xii' FCRT TRUMBULL VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM The Fort Trumbull Varsity Basketball Team wound up its first season with a record of eighteen victories and four defeats. It was an amazing record in view of the fact that this was their first season for the team and they were playing against some schools with seasoned teams. The Troopers' biggest nemesis was the junior Varsity from Storrs campus. The Storrs j.V.'s twice downed the high-flying troopers, but the games were hard fought. With a little more experience the troopers might give them a better battle. The starting team was made up of Ruccio, Chapman, Hockett, Murphy and Sarle. The five threw in a total of 832 points with Ruccio leading the scoring with 226. Mr. Horvath should be thanked for the fine job he did in turning out a winning combination. It was the first year for everyone and many difficulties were overcome. We are all looking forward to next year's team, for with the experience gained thus far, they should really bring the bunting to Fort Trumbull.

Mr. Horvath hopes for the ,return of soccer next fall and he would like to see the same enthusiasm that was shown by the 1946 team.
