COMMERCE YEAR EOOK,191? Basketball followed close on the heels of football, and it was a worthy successor. Although very light, the team played well throughout the season, and deserves nothing but Commendation for its record, having won all of its league games but one. - ' Coach-DR. C.

S. A. L. The Athletic Association this year introduced a novelty in the form of an indoor meet, closed to Commerce students, held in the gymnasium. This was the first of what were hoped would be annual occurrences. The outdoor season was even more successful than the indoor. The team cleaned up Morris and'Clinton handily in dual meets, and sent seven men to the St. Louis Exposition to take part in the Inter-City lVIeet. New York City Won this meet, largely through the prowess of the Commerce men on the team. Coach-MR. A. C. FONTAINE Captain-R. GEIS Manager'-H. HOFFMAN The baseball team started its practice in the gymnasium with llilr. lX'Ian- guse coaching again, and with the same captain, Rowland Patterson. A good team was built up, and although it lost four of its games, the Nletropolitan Championship came to Commerce for the second successive time. Coach-MR. WM. P. NTANGUSE Manage:-+-V. W.

coMMERci3 YEAR Book, 1912 Notwithstanding the fact that it had no real track on which to practice, the track team of 1902-O3 had a very successful season. It won the Metropoli- tan High School League Meet, which was symbolic of the championship of New York. Enough credit cannot be given to Capt. Richard Geis, and Coach Andre Fontaine for the team's excellent work. X Baseball was the next sport taken up. A team was formed, one which labored under the same difficulties as all its predecessors, that of having no practice grounds. A poor start was the natural result, but as the men became used to playing together the team improved, and developed into a fast and reliable aggregation. It wound up a very successful season by winning the Metropolitan League championships. I Coach-MR. WM. P. MANGUSE Captain-ROWLAND PATTERSON Team. Position. R Te-am. Position.

W. Robinson as Secretary. The existence of this association today is in large measure due to the work of these men. 1903-O4 7 p Football appeared first on the athletic horizon, with the same coach and captain, Mr. Fontaine and F. Downes. The facilities for practicetwere slightly better than those of last year, and a fair team resulted. 'Coach-MR. A. C. FONTAINE Manager-H. WILSON. y ' Captain-F. DOWNES TGHITI. Position.

Fontaine and Trask, and with South Field as a regular practice ground. lt proved to be a banner season, the team winning all of its games with the public high schools. Notable among the achievements of the year was a tie game with De Witt Clinton, a team which we had hitherto thought too strong for us to play. This seasonis play placed Commerce on an athletic plane equal to any of the high schools in the East. Team. Hayden, Stevenson ........ Dey, H. Hoffmann McKallor, Fox ..... Adams, Blumers .. E.
