Even this did not discourage them, for they displayed their perseverance by again entering the fray and applying a scant 7-6 defeat to Middletown. To wind up an exciting season, the Blue and White inflicted a smart 10-6 trouncing on Bullceley, thereby gaining revengeifor an earlier defeat suffered at the hands of the Maroon team. The propsects for the 1940 baseball team are very inspiring, although we have lost many valuable men by graduation. Some of the promising candidates for the coming season are Dennis Redden, who handled the shortstopis duties in '39g Co-Captain-elect Wally Prolcollcin, a pitcher with plenty of stuffg Co-Captain-elect Charles Alcsamit, a regular ball hawlcg Al Nordmark, an up-and-coming second basemang and many other new faces that will H11 in the empty gaps. Among these new aspirants for this year,s team are Art Felslce and Joe Julavits, both of whom are attempting to land pitching assignmentsg Bill Powell, Bill Gledhill, and Norm Felske, who claim they can fill the vacant shoes of Conley as first-string catcherg George Barton and Lonnie Grace, contenders for a berth on the squad as first basemang and three hopeful third basemen including George Lapointe who saw some service at that position last year Greg Booth and Bud Richardson Ar the time of this writing the only activity that can be observed along the baseball front is the strenuous practise of the candidates for the batteries in rl e gym each night after school However, there is plenty of enthusiasm shown and we are all hopefully anticipating another banner season Tlns Year 5 Baseball Schedule April 19 April 24 April 26 May May May May Middletown Meriden Bristol Manchester Bulkeley Manchester Weaver av!

In their next encounter, the Hallltes appeared to be a greatly improved team, but they d1dn't possess sufficient power in the closing minutes to prevent Middletown from winning the contest 29 25 A week later our boys managed to eke out their first win of the season against Meriden by a score of 28-25 In this game the team really showed us what it could do when Prokolkin tossed in 12 points assisted by Nordmark and Blanchfield who each accounted for 6. Then it happened. It was just one week after Hall had beaten Meriden when Bristol invaded West Hartford, cocksure they were going to drub the Blue and White Were they surprised when at the half they found themselves trailing by five points' Yes sir, Hall was playing its best game of the year that night From the beginning of the third quarter, when play resumed, right up to the last few minutes the score kept see sawing back and forth until the Hall boys, having exhausted every ounce of their energy, began to falter, and Bristol Page 88 , . h -. , . - , . 2 'L r 1.
