COLUMBIA PHARMACY In a slow and uninteresting game our team was defeated on its home I court by the quintet from Columbia College of Pharmacy, 29-18.1 The Aggies I were handicapped by injuries to two of our best men, Kolly and Van Pelt. ,IE I' The team lacked the fine teamwork shown in their recent game with Cooper 1' II Union, but fought brilliantly in the face of defeat.

It I x I was a spectacular game to say the least, for at half time their team was 5 leading, 13-5. The handful of rooters who came along with us to Staten Q Island were certainly rewarded by one of the most thrilling games this season. They got the jump on us at the start, but after the first five minutes ij fi of play, we solved their offense, and were no longer in danger. In the second half we got started on a scoring streak, with Kolly leading a brilliant I attack. One minute to play, and they led by two points, but two baskets in I , rapid succession by Kolly, via Van Pelt and Borer, put the finishing touches I 5 I to our 23-21 victory, and spelled defeat for our new rivals.

away NEW voRK Asoias vs. AMERICAN LEo1oN On our home court we met and defeated the five representing the Ameri- can Legion of Freeport, by the score of 37-25. Fine pass work featured throughout the game, and the game was fast and almost devoid of fouls. Kollmayr was the start of the game, cageing eight field goals and 3 number of fouls, while Van Pelt and Grossman played their usual strong defensive game. Maurer was the outstanding performer for the Legion quintet, and their attack centered about him. NEW YORK AGGIES VS. COOPER UNION INSTITUTE We met our lirst defeat, on our home court, when the team representing Cooper Union defeated us 38-18. The score indicated that the game was all Cooper, but far from that. It was one of the fastest games seen on our home court, the Aggies passing rapidly but being unable to cage the ball. Cooper Union was fortunate in this respect, making difficult shots from all corners of the field. Goebie, center, for Cooper Union led in the attack and was easily the best scorer while Van Pelt and Borer starred for the Aggies. NEW YORK AGGIES VS, COOPER UNION C In the first game of the New Year we traveled to New York to meet Cooper Union on their home court for a return game, and to avenge our defeat. The team, weakened by the ineligibility of Daniels, star forward, and Graham, substitute guard for the remainder of the season and also without the services of our veteran center, Pollet, played a sensational game marked with brilliant pass work, lioor work and accurate shooting, and air tight defense. The team that beat us 38-18, went down to defeat on their own court by 21-20. They fought gamely to overtake our three-point lead, with two minutes to play, but fell short. The remarkable playing of Kolly featured, caging no less than five baskets and several fouls. Van Pelt's was our scintillating star, while the passwork of Borer, Sorg and Grossman showed to advantage. The Aggie defense proved adamant against the con-- tinued spirited invasions of the Cooper forwards. Albert, a guard, succeeded in performing best for the Cooper quintet. The perfeet working of the Aggie machine, which Coach.l3rennan has perfected, was a delight to watch, since it showed such an improvement over its last game, and it is a miracle that Cooper was able to close the score as it did: for we held the lead throughout the second half, after a tie in the first half. It pays to make New Year's resolutions, and ours isn't broken yet. - 1 ffff -- fi.I.- I --?49?'4 i twtf:T::f':gi: - -'WEE D331

IOHN'S COLLEGE Brooklyn seems to be our jinxg for in our annual game with St. Iohn's at their home court we dropped a game to the scoreaof 69-36.

In the second half we showed up to better advantage. VVe ran up our score right from theistart, and also improved 'in our defense.

BROOKLYN PHARMACYICOLLEGE In a rough and tumble contest, the Brooklyn boys bestednus, 33-18. The game was one of the most exciting witnessed on our home court, and the results were in doubt till the last, when Pharmacy rallied and secured a lead we could not overcome. The lack of scoring eye was noticeable on our team, although Van Pelt and Kollmayr played their usually brilliant game. NEW YORK AGGIES VS. MATTITUCK-FIVE In one of the most heart-breaking games of the season, our team went down to a 31-26 defeat. It was the most hair-raising game witnessed at Mattituck this season. 1t was a nip-and-tuck contest from the first whistle to the last. We scored first, and led at half time by 15-14. We WCTC iii the lead in the last few minutes of play, when two neat Held goals from the center of the floor placed Mattituck in the lead to win by a close SCOFC- Borer was at his best, and with Van Pelt, starred forthe Aggies, while Clark was the shinning light of the home team. i851
