Haverford defeated Swarthmore
6-4 last Monday in a game which
had been rained out the previous
Saturday.
The stickmen jumped on starting

pitcher Ebenezer Small for five
runs and four hits in the first
inning. Lead-off man Rick Smith
singled to right and was safe at
second when Small threw Sturge
Poorman’s grounder wildly to
second.’ Skip Jarocki grounded to
second and forced Poorman,
Jarocki stole second, and fourth
batter Don Urie walked. Dave Fel-
sen beat out an infield grounder
for a hit, and Smith scored, The
next batter, Dan Murphy lined a
single to left. Jarocki came home,
and Urie, who appeared to be a
sure out at the plate, knocked the

_ball out of the catcher’s hands,

Jeff Stevenson singled to center
and Felsen scored, Third base
coach Fred Szydlik, who was
giving the green light all day,
waved Murphy in. In a play at the

‘plate almost identical to Urie’s,

Murphy knocked the ball from the
catcher.

Haverford held their five run
lead until the fifth inning. After

out the second ong, centerfielder
Chuck Herbert: led to left
field, Herbert reached second on
a passed ball, and Urie walked
Dave Swanson to put men on first
and second. Clive Summerton
reached first on a fielder’s choice,
loading the bases, and Ron Truitt
rapped a single to right, scoring
Herbert and Swanson. Kamen

third base line which pitcher Small
threw into right field. Smith reach-
ed third on the error and scored
on Jarocki’s sacrifice fly to right.

came in the eighth inning. Murphy,

second base. The catcher’s throw
down to second went into center-
field. Centerfielder Herbert
bobbled the throw and Murphy, who
fad been on his way, rounded third
and headed for home. Third base
coach Szydlik decided that Murphy
did not have a chance at the plate,
and when he saw that he wasn’t
slowing down, he, as Murphy put
it: ** ... knocked me down, then
picked me up and pushed me back
toward third base.’? The umpire
promptly called Murphy out for
interference. Sydlik seemed to dis-
approve of the call, and there was
a generally felt concern for the
umpire’s safety.

The Ford’s decisive victory over
the Redbellies in this Hood Trophy
contest raised their record to 5-3.

In spite of inclement weather
last week, the baseball team man-

Ford Linksmen Bow
To Three Opponents

by Arch Ruberg

The Haverford golf team con-
tinued its disappointing season with
losses to Lehigh, Franklin and
Marshall, and Muhlenburg.

The Muhlenburg match was one
of the closest of the season, but
petter balance gave the visitors
a 10-8 victory. Top men Frank

Week’s Athlete
Tom Trapnell

Junior track captain Tom Trap-
nell has been chosen as this week’s
Haverford Athlete-of-the-Week,
He took two first places in last
week’s narrow loss to the Franklin
and Marshall Diplomats. Despite
slow times on the wet F & Mtrack,
Trapnell had little trouble in
capturing the 120 yard high hurdles
and the 220 yard low hurdles,

Even though he is nursing a
case of shin splints, Trapnell has
been one of the more consistent
performers on this year’s team,
He has scored 38 points in five
meets this season, taking six firsts,
two seconds and two thirds, and is
the leading scorer on the team.

-Trapnell doubles as end on the
varsity football team in the fall
and forward on the second-place
Junior B intramural basketball
team in the winter.

Engel and Bob Herron played very
well, shooting 76 and 79 re-
spectively, recording 3-0 and 2-1
wins, Engel’s round was the best
of the season for the Fords, and
might have been even better had
he not bogeyed the last two holes.
Dick McConaghy also won, 2-1/2-
1/2, scoring an 83, But Eric Brown,
Pete Loesche and Clyde Lutton
were only able to manage one half
point among the three, enabling
Muhlenburg to take the match
despite decisive losses in the No, 1
and 2 positions.

-Against Lehigh and F&M on May
2, the squad had evenless success,
Bob Herron played an inconsistent
round, shooting a brilliant 35 on
the front nine at Merion, but fall-
ing to 44 on the back for a total
of 79, good for a 2-1 victory over
Lehigh and a 2-1 loss to F&M,
But Engel, in his worst perfor-
mance of the year, scored an 82,
and fell to Lehigh 3-0 and to
F&M 2-1/2-1/2, Except for Eric
Brown’s 2-1/2-1/2 decision
against his Diplomat opponent, no
other Ford golfer was able to win
a point, The final count showed
16-2 and 14-4 defeats at the hands
of Lehigh and F&M respectively.

Engel, questioned after fin-
ishing several drafts of his latest
economics paper, tried to explain
the causes of the disasterous sea-

son..‘‘We’ve been besought with

putting woes; even on our home
course,’”’ shouted the Ford golfer
in an understatement,

Gaffrey on

aged to play and lose to St,
Joseph’s 6-5.
St. Joe’s scored first in the

second inning when Ford starter .
Amos Chang walked lead-off batter

Butz. He advanced to third on Ted
Hinkel’s single to right, and scored
on a wild pitch,

Haverford came back in the
fourth, Don Urie struck out, but
Jim Ritter walked and went to
second on Jeff Stevenson’s single
to right field. Glenn Swanson made
it to first on a fielder’s choice,
and the bases were full with only
one out,

The St. Joe’s chucker, CarlGaf-

frey, proceeded to walk catcher
Keith Tunnell, thus scoring Ritter.
Chang flew out to the center fielder
for the second out, but Skip
Jarocki smashed ‘a double to right,
scoring Rick Smith, who had gone
in to run for Stevenson, and Swan-
son,

Haverford held their 3-1 lead
comfortably until the seventh in-
ning. A throwing error by Glenn
Swanson on a hurried play put
first with none out.
After shortstop De Angelis. popped
out to Swanson, another error,
this time by Felsen, put another
runner on, In a strategy move,
Vince Martini came to bat in place
of Harrington, the eighth man in the
batting order, Martini knocked one
over the Little League left field
fence and St. Joe’s led 4-3,

Don Urie evened things up in the
top of the eighth. The. lead-
off hitter that inning, he blasted
the ball out of the park. But St.
Joe’s also scored in their half
of the eighth, After Sabion ground-
ed out to Murphy, Butz doubled
to left field; In an effort to get
Hinkel on a close play at first,
Murphy threw the ball away. Gaf-
frey grounded out, but then De
Angelis rapped a double into
centerfield knocking in Hinkel and
making the score 6-4.

In a desperate effort to pull it
out, Haverford managed to get its
first two batters of the ninth inning
on base. Keith Tunnell got an
infield single, and Sturge Poor-
man, pinch-hitting for Chang,
doubled to right. With runners on

. second and third, Jarocki struck

out, Felsen grounded out to short-
stop scoring Tunnell, and Murphy
fanned, ending Ford hopes.

F & M Defeats Fords

As Trackmen Improve

by Jack Rakove

The Haverford track team took
a short trip up Lancaster Pike to
meet Franklin and Marshall
April 27 and made their best show-
ing of the year to datg losing 72-
58. The Fords, however, were
not at all disappointed by the final
score,

The trackmen made their best
showing in the 120 yard high hurdles
and 220 yard low hurdles, Tom
Trapnell and Bob Singley finished
first and second, respectively, in
both events, while Phil van New-
kirk added a third in the highs.

finished one-two in the 440 yard
run to provide Haverford with eight
more points, Batzell’s winning time
was 52,9. Renner Anderson added
six more points with two second
places in the 100 and 220 yard
dashes,

Denny Lanson notchedhis second
victory of the year in the half-
mile, winning in a slow time of
2:07.7 on the rain dampened F & M
track, Running at his usual steady
pace, freshman Steve Rolfe took

second in the mile in #43,

Terry Little took first place
in the two-mile to stay undefeat-

ed for the season, Bob White was
third behind Little’s winning time
of 10:12,

Haverford’s first points of the
year in the pole vault, cracking
the 8-foot barrier to take second
with a vault of 8’6’’.

Marsh Robinson pounced over the
high jump bar at 5’8’’ to tie his
F & M opponent, but took second
on the basis of more misses,

Vance Senecal lost for the first
time this year in the javelin, but
did take a third.

In the last event of the day,
the mile relay, the Fords sur-
vived a dropped baton by Lanson
to win their first of the season.
Batzell, Rolfe, gand Little rounded
out the team,

Two days later the same motley
crew journeyed to Franklin Field
to compete in the Pop Haddleton
Mile Relay, named after the former
Haverford coach, This time Lanson
held on to the baton, but his slow
time of :58 hurt Ford chances,
The other members of the team
all ran. sub 53-second quarters
but Haverford’s time of 3:37 was

«only good for a sixth, The Cadet
' quartet from PMC won event
jin a fair time of 3:28.3.

Jim Predmore, moving up from
number two last year, dominated
Bob. Swift with a hard backhand
and good net play to take the Ford
first man‘6-1, 6-1, At number two
the Garnet’s Roy Van Til had
little trouble with Doug Meiklejohn,
the Ford co-captain falling 6-3,
6-3, Dave Koteen at number three
used his usual strategy of the
deep lob but was unsuccessful,
dropping both sets 6-4, 6-0 in a
short match,

Steve Greif, the team patsy-
baller and winningest member, lost
the first set 6-1 but used the
great patsy-ball.equalizer to make
the second set a closer 7-5, Dave
Delthony and Tom Bretl, the fifth
and sixth men, lost to Dave Laitin
and Bob Kneisley, Delthony dropped
his match in a quick 6-1,
6-2, and Bretl followed suit with
a 6-0, 6-1 loss,

The first doubles team of
Koteen-Meiklejohn won one of
Haverford’s two sets for the day
in a match that went 6-1, 4-6,
6-1. Bob Swift and Al Aladjem,
previously undefeated at second
doubles, lost the closest match
of the day 6-4, 6-4, Aladjem com-
bined good net play and smash-
ing serves to relieve the tiring
Swift,

In the last match Haverford took
its only other set as Greif-Del-
thony lost 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, :

Swarthmore is always a power-
ful team, but this year’s defeat
was unusually devastating. Under
their nationally known coach, Ed
Faulkner, the Garnet fielded a
team which simply outclassed
Haverford on a day when none of
the Fords played well,
