On March 13th a victory over Yale, by the score of 41 'Q to 31, closed the schedule and gave the Lion the championship of the Eastern Intercollegiate League. Two weeks later the team chose John T. Lorch, '27, Captain of the 1927 season. During the following week the base- ball team won its opening game against Seton Hall and started on the road to Columbia's second pennant of the year. At the end of the season John T. Lorch was elcted to his second captaincy for 1927. Another championship was taken by the rifie team which, undefeated throughout its schedule, was awarded the Intercollegiate Rifle Association title. Cn the evenings of the 22nd, 23rd and 24-th of April the Class of 1928 presented as its Sophomore Show, Frederick Schneider's play, Tongue Tied. This play, produced under the direction of Harold Clausen, was an excellent Vehicle for the talents of a large cast headed by Edward Mammen. The capture of two relay championships at the Penn Relays was the high point in the Lion's Track Season. Captain Joe Campbell, assisted by Gus Jaeger, Stan Deck and Earle Starkey, ran off with the Sprint Medley Title. Columbia's first Two-Mile victory was won by a team composed of Campbell, Jaeger, Brick and Theobald. The crew's season opened on May 8th at the Derby Regatta. The Varsity came in third to Yale and Penn, but the '29 Erosh boat showed the beneficial effect of the Glendons' tutelage and won a thrilling race.
