Basketball CROWD filed from the Collegiate gymnasium, players dressed and strag- gled from the locker room, the 1934 basketball season had ended-not exactly a failure, hardly a success, rather a synonym for the phrase might have been. It was heart-breaking to watch a season which premised to keep in stride with the best of past years falter and drop behind as one point losses and mental handicaps hampered its pace. Four won and eight lost is the record. That record might have beenfbut there is that phrase again. The team opened its season with a loss at the hands of Lincoln, followed by another setback, this time at the hands of Fieldston. They then evened up the won and lost columns by journeying to Englewood and Woodmere, and in each case coming back with a victory. The next game was with Hackley, and was dropped by one point, 30451, and was followed by another setback by Brooklyn Friends. The team then beat Franklin but dropped the next three games, Scarsdale, Lincoln, and Power Memorial, in rapid succession. They then rallied long enough to beat Adelphi, 20-10, but lost the final, the traditional encounter with Collegiate.

Later Ferris tallied on an intercepted pass, which decided the final outcome of the game, which was 18-6. Woodmere was next on the schedule and this was another game of evenly matched teams. Although Woodmere led 6-O in the first half, a brilliant run by Kindermann enabled Beckmann to go over from the 10 yard line to even the score 6-6. The extra point was made by Hunter, and the final score was 7-6. The Woodmere game showed the beginning of a situation which was to be evident in the three games to follow- Barnard could not get going until the second half. The next game was with Fieldston, which was a second-half battle. Barnard showed no opposition in the first half. Fieldston soon scored. After a pep-talk by Major, the team came back and outplayed Fieldston every minute, but could not tally. The game ended 6-0. Adelphi was next and by scoring early in the game they were able to defeat a superior Barnard team by the score of 12-0. Perhaps the most interesting and exciting game of the season was the Edgewood game. They brought down a strong aggregation from Greenwich. In the first period Edgewood scored, and on the succeeding kick-off, Mallett raced 80 yards for a touch- down. This was possible by the fine blocking of the rest of the team. After that Edgewood scored quite consistently. In the third period Bolton snatched a flying fumble and ran sixty yards for our second score. In the last minutes of play, Beckmann added six more points, and the final score of the most brilliant game of the season was 27-19. This was Kindermann's best game of the year and a fitting climax to a splendid football career. The work of Billy Moore at center was exceptionally noticeable. As a result of Billy's good work he was placed on the all Scholastic Prep school team chosen by the World-Telegram. George Kindermann was also chosen on this team. Although Co- Captain Frees was inexperienced at playing end, he made it up with his fighting spirit. Friedrichs and Hunter, old veterans of the varsity, played sterling games at tackle. Bolton, inexperienced and very light, played well on the offense. Charley should be exceptionally good next year. Charlie Conway with john Faiella and John Brown held down the guard positions. They played football with a fighting spirit that could not be beaten. Although their work was not spectacular, it was very e-Hicient in opening up holes in the line. The success of the season should go to Major Ashton. Major has a technique in handling boys that makes them want to play football. He has developed many an inexperienced boy to become a good football player. The Brie wishes Major the best of luck next year.

Tl-IEl934BARNARDBRIC -new The group that saw most of the action was made up of Captain Ferris and Hunter, forwards, Beckmann, center, and Frees, Kindermann, and Mallett, guards. Ted Ferris, playing his third year as a regular, and his second year as captain, ended his basketball career at Barnard by leading his team in scoring honors. Hunter, also concluding three years of service on the Varsity, played a strong defensive game, and contributed his share of points. Ed Beckmann, sophomore center, was outstanding this year for his work in the pivot position, from which he scored many points. He should, along with Mallett, who showed quite some scoring power toward the end of the season, form a good nucleus for next year's team. Kindermann and Frees, the latter a veteran of the Varsity squads of past years, both started regularly in many of the games. George distinguished himself by his shooting, and Harold was a reliable defense man and a good passer. Credit should be given the substitutes who labored strenuously throughout the season scrimmaging the Varsity. Charlie Bolton was prominent in this group and showed promise for future years. The others were John Faiella, Granville Horton, Bernard Kanovitch, Lester Moran, Price Phelps, and Walter Weisbecker. Coach Ralph Bent worked hard with his material, and during the season developed several players who will combine teamwork and ability to attempt to improve this year's record.
