COOPER UNION QNIGHTQ A good time was in store for those who witnessed this game at our ' Amityville court, for it was easily the best of the season. It was marked by extreme rivalry for Cooper Union Qnightj had come to avenge the defeat of their day department earlier in the season. The final score, 22-20, indicates A the closeness of the game, with our boys on the long end. The game was kept free from roughness by experienced refereeing, and fouls were numerous. If our team had not been weak in finding the basket from the fifteen-foot mark the score would have been different. As it was it was an exceptionally f' fast game, Cooper. running up a lead of nine points in the first four minutes of play. Here our defense tightened, due to the fine guarding of Pollet and Grossman, while Kollmayr sunk two from field and -three times from the foul line. The half ended 11-10 in the visitors favor. In the second half, the lead alternated, with neither team more than two points ahead. With the score 53 tied at twenty all and with four minutes to play, Kolly put in our winning basket, from an intercepted pass from Van Pelt.

Basketball lnchvlclual ' I CAPTAIN VAN PELT ' i FORWARD Ned, our 'fighting captain! H.e has led us on for his second season. On the floor, he is a streak, and a tireless one. His specialty is intercepting I Q I passes and breaking up the enemy's plays. He seems to have an uncanny I l sense of solving an opponent's play. His feints always delight the onlookers. All Aggies will mourn his loss. i I ' I 1'liEl!!!i!E5UEE2QUlll!EHElHlUNiHEiEHHlIlKEstattfffs-ezeimg KGLLMAYR . GUARD Kolly is another veteran who has added a great deal to the power of the Aggie team. He was high scorer throughout the season. Many a game '5 was won due to his excellent marksmanship. Give Kolly the ball, within a 5?-i certain distance of the goal, and he could be counted on for two points. VVhen 1 he graduates, the team will lose a man hard to replace. .1 PQLLET CENTER P or b th on the offensive 'md defensive oop proved to be a strong man, o C . y He worked well in his position, and featured in starting our plays from the ' tap-off. His size and aggressiveness were a material asset under the 6116111335 basket. His place will also be open next year, but men like him are not easily found.
