The entrance of the Hartford basketball team into the E.C.A.C. fEastern College Athletic Conferencel, the upset win over top-seated New Britain State Teachers College 73- 66, the newly formed Freshman team and the First Annual Homecoming Game in Wethersfield rounded out firsts for the University of Hartford in 1959. This marked the first time Hartford has played a home game other than in the Hudson Street Gym. The contest was against the highly ranked St. An- selm's College. The squad was hurt by depth and height in 1959. TONY Newman, Hartford's leading rebounder, was not enough to round out a good backboard team. He did, however, receive help from stalwarts Bill Poutre, Ray Bawer, and John Yurkunas, Gene Rogers, Frank Deutsch, and Captain Roger Lynch continued to be competent playmakers. The team as a whole was one of the tops in the state on certain nights when they were in true form. 51 L, , It J. l' '34 'DT ALL 1958-59 , FBESHMHQ-B:SKIgiEhaeIson R. Baskin, R. Drennan, R.

The team finished with an overall total Hartford of 13 points while their competitors pushed 24 through Hartford the net. Raul Gonzalez led the team with a total of 3 Hartford goals. He was followed by Edgardo Vives, Luis Gonzalez, Hartford Arnoldo Araque, and Bob' Drennon all with two. Hartford 1959 appears to be the roughest schedule the team Harrrord will have in its history. AIC, Norwich, Adelphi, and Harrrara Springfield have been listed as new opponents, all top Hafffvfd soccer teams in New England. Harrrard Coach LoMaglio hopes that the team will develop into a better squad during the 1959 season. He is especially anxious to see a good crop of freshmen, and if enough applicants show, the University of Hartford will initiate a freshman team under his direction. The coach states that prospects were good for 1959. The added competition should give the entire team valuable experience. Although still in the building stage, the squad has proved itself to be one of the strongest varsity teams in the university. Chuck Glenney and Mike Cappa should provide the know-how for 1959, along with many of the South American players who excel in the sport.
