Academy's teams gave its followers this year every hope of ending the athletic depression. The student body started strong with considerable en- thusiasmg especially the weeks of the East and Strong Vincent games. However, with the team's slump in the final game our spirit sagged, and was not much in evidence the remainder of the year. In football, the team reached its climax in the East game which was won in an impressive manner. But by losing to Strong Vincent it dropped to a tie for the city championship in the unofficial standings, and second in the official rating. In basketball, the team hit pre-depression speed midway: winning games in succession over Strong Vincent, East, and Tech. However, the innovation this year of three rounds instead of the usual two, found Academy forced to play three city games in five days, and forced us to take third place in the city race. The swimming and track teams did splendid work, and gave in spirit and determination what they lacked in experience. Both sports boasted many first year men, and the experience gained this year augers well for the near future. At the moment the golf and tennis candidates give every indication of finishing well up in the standings. Coaches, players, and the student 'body are looking forward to a return to the Gold Cand Bluej standard-where the chances are considerably higher than 59 out of 100 that we regain the Trophy of Trophies. -L.
