TEAM SWIMMING PAUL FROWN 1 . U I-2 1 -li' JOSEPH PRENDERGAST, JR. Manager, A MR. ROTHERHAM, Coach NORMAN LEMCKE, Captbi'7i i WIMMING is probably the brightest spot in the athletic history of Commerce for the year IQI 1-12. From the start the outlook was bright, as a number of veterans from the IQIO team were in school. ' The squad started practicing in the pool on November 4, under the direction of Coach Roth- erham. They worked hard, and the resultof their work was shown in our first meet, on November 120, with Jersey 5 City High School, whom we easily defeated by the score of 48 to 5. During the re- mainder of the season the team won eleven dual meets and lost one. Among the eleven won was a meet with Clinton, the score of whichwas 31 to 22. The P. S. A. L. Championship came off on lVIarch8, and Commerce was looked to to win it. However, Clinton managed to tie us, the final score being ISM points for Commerce and 1512 points for Clinton. Mack of Commerce and Schwartz of Clinton were tied for first place in the plunge. The following week these two men plunged for .first place. Schwartz suc- ceeded in defeating Mack by two feet, thereby giving the championship to Clinton. The Hnal score was 16 points for Clinton and I5 points for Commerce. Much praise is due to Mr. Rotherham for his excellent coaching, and also to Captain Lemcke, who has proven himself tobe one of the best school boy swimmers in Greater New York. A The rest of the team was composed of Flower, lllerrick, Bazin, Byrne, Agramonte, Walsh, Mack, Foster, Montgomery and Kallman. y The schedule of the team follows: School. Oppts. Com.

l i 1 l 1 i 5 . i,. 'r A KET H. HECHT, Jllanager VV. P. CHALAIRE, Captain ' MR. P. J. ROTHERHAM, Coach HE basketball season started with a rush, when we won our first game against Townsend Harris Hall byqa score of I7 to 15. The 'team looked like a winner, but duegj-to. the fact that it was not entered in the P. Sf A. L. Championship 'Tournament and that Mr. Rotherham. was unable to give the team much time, itheschool lost interest in it, andiarfew of our best players stopped coming out. However, Captain Chalaire decided he would play out his schedule, and from some new material built up a fairly good team. V I The team played six games during the remainder of theiseason, and although it went downto defeat in every one, it put up a hard light in all of them. . ' - c Cann was the real bright spot on the team, and he played every game in his usual clean and masterly manner. As a reward for his playing this season, he has been elected captain of next yearls team, and he hopes, with the material of this year as a nucleus, to develop af team that will be worthy of representing Commerce in the P. S. A. L. Championship Tournament. V The line-up and schedule of the team follows: it , Chalaire CCapt.D ...... ' ......... R. G. Keyes ....... .... . L. F. Cann .......................... L. G.
