ATHLETICS iami’s athletic program, built up to a high standard last year, suffered, as everything else did, from conditions during 1932-33; only three major teams being maintained during the year. Teams represented the University last year in Football, Boxing, Wrestling, Tennis, Swimming, Basketball, and Golf, whereas this year only Wrestling and Varsity and Freshman football teams were supported by the school. The boxing and wrestling squads were scheduled to meet Army in a dual meet in New York this year, but due to financial difficulties the meet failed to materialize. However, the wrestling team did schedule one meet, meeting the University of Florida grapplers here in Miami, losing to the Gators by a 20-10 score. The University received much national publicity due to the efforts of Marshall Wayne, sensational young diving star of Miami. Wayne, captain of Miami’s defunct aquatic team, failed by a fraction of a point to make the 1933 United States Olympic team but came back strong later in the year to capture second place in the National Diving Championships, held in New York. Tommy McCann, returned as head football coach and enjoyed a successful year. The Hurricanes hung up a record of three games won, three games lost and one game tied during the regular season. After the schedule was completed, McCann’s men took on the highly touted and much publicized Manhattan University team of New York City, in the first annual Gridiron Palm Festival, held at Moore Park Stadium, haunt of Miami’s football teams, on New Year’s Day. The Manhattan team, coached by the famous “Chick” Meehan, compiled a formidable record against the strong college teams of the East, climaxing a highly successful season by holding the powerful Holy Cross team to a scoreless tie and defeating Rutgers, by a 6-0 score. The “Jaspers,” because of their impressive record against the leading teams in the country, were ruled heavy favorites to wallop Miami’s little known football team. Miami’s chances of winning seemed slim indeed, but the Hurricanes played inspired and amazing football, went out and handed the confident Manhattan eleven a 7 to 0 defeat. This proved to Miamians and the sporting world, that the Hurricans can really play a snappy brand of football and McCann is looking forward to a big year for his squad in 1933-34. The Freshman team, under the guidance of Coach Cliff Courtney, compiled another impressive record as is the custom of Miami Frosh teams, winning four out of five games scheduled. Up to this year, a Baby Hurricane team had never tasted defeat on the gridiron, but the powerful Frosh team of the University of Florida broke this sensational record by handing the Miami Frosh their only

licking of the season and the first for a Frosh team in the history of the school. The Frosh won handily from their other opponents, which included some of the strongest teams in the state of Florida. Several Frosh stars saw action in the Manhattan-Miami game and it was largely due to their efforts that the Hurricanes were able to hang up a victory over the New York eleven. Intramural sports were hotly contested. Teams represented the classes and fraternities in football, boxing, wrestling, basketball, baseball, and handball. Basketball again proved to be the most popular intramural sport, and large crowds were out rooting and pulling for their respective teams. The Freshman quintet won the championship in impressive style. F » o t ball The Hurricanes, with Tom McCann once more at the helm, and Captain Johnny Bates leading the team from the field, opened their 1933 football season with a win over a strong William and Mary team 6 to2, and followed this with another victory over a scrappy Piedmont eleven by a score of 30 to 6. The next two games were sad news to the Hurricanes, dropping the first to Georgia State 19-6 and the second to Rollins college, 6-0. The next game found Miami battling the strongest team on her schedule, the Murray Teachers of Murray, Kentucky. The Hurricanes, outcharged, outfought and outgained their opponents in every department of the game, but had to be content with a scoreless tie. Southwest Louisiana was next and the Hurricanes sent them back home with a 7-0 defeat. Then came the final game on the regular schedule, Miami losing to the Middle-Tennessee Teachers by a 7-0 score after a bitterly fought contest. After a ten day rest the Hurricanes went back to work in preparation for the New Years Day game with Manhattan College of New York City, the strongest
