COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1911 ACK 1 ' EAM FRED. A. WAL'r1f1zs, JR., rllanagw- LORENZO V. ARMB, Captain MR. H. ALDINGER, Coach OR lack of a suitable place to train, Commerce track teams Q show rather poorly indoors. This year's team was no exception. 2 f A large number of candidates answered the call for practice, 5' a xii but they were too inexperienced to figure prominently in the high school indoor championships, and scored only three points. The team has not yet been able to start training out-doors owing to the condition of the track, but when our athletic field is again in shape, the team will prepare for the dual meets scheduled. Our sixth annual indoor meet was held on the evening of Febru- ary 22d, at the Twenty-second Regiment Armory. The ten-mile run, which proved to be a great success in former meets, was missing from the program this year, and in order to fill the gap an interscholastic relay race was substituted, which, however, proved to be a walk-overv for our friends from De llfitt Clinton. The closed events furnished 1nany exciting races, the best of which was the mile race, in which Vvllllillll Haase established a new Commerce record of 4: 58 3-5.

CGMMERCEV YEAR Boon, 1911 RIFLE er ',,.. ' X ' . :il IRA BARZILAY, Manager .ALFRED SERNVER, Captain. L Dr. VV. L. Fosrea, Coach This sport is becoming more and more popular every year, due not only to the untiring efforts of a few fellows connected with the team, but also to the work of Dr. Foster and the Rifle Club. This year the number of boys qualifying as marksmen and sharpshooters has more than trebled that of last year, and we have well founded hopes that tl1e VVingate Trophy will come to Connnerce. This trophy is given to the school making the most points for marksmen and sharpshooters. For every marksman we get two points and for every sbarpshooter, three points. We have made over 210 points this year. Eight veterans of last year's team came back to school this fall, determined to do or die. The prospects for our making a good showing in the P. S. A. L. Round Robin Series were pretty good. To get in trim for the series, the team had many practice matches. in which they made fine showings. The first P. S. A. L. shoot was held with Curtis. Although we shot them in a practice shoot, one of our men 'fblew up and we were defeated by one point, the score being 260-259. The next week the team traveled to the Bronx, and lost the most unevenly matched shoot of the season, to Morris, by the score of 264-245, The following Friday the team went over to Bryant, and, sad to say, lost the match by eight points. Then came a reaction. Stuyvesant, one of the leaders, met a sur- prise and a defeat at our hands, by the score of 259-254. Manual was the next victim, and lost to us by three points, the score being 258-255. Erasmus was the next school the team had to meet, and the Brooklynites beat us, after a hard tussle, by the score of 262-253. The following Friday, Clinton ran up a score of 264 to our 258. Nevertheless, the team finished strong, defeating Boys' and Eastern Dis- trict by merry scores. The team finished sixth in the Round Robin Series-a decided improvement over last year's performance, when they took last place. A summary of their P. S. A. L. matches follows: 39
