OUR GRADUA T ES IN SPOR T S 5 ' W fffiw ll W T p ,gg M., perieneed players and should go far. With many former Commerce players now taking part in college basketball, the present veterans look hopefully to their own future and the student body anticipates great scores. The Aquamen of Commerce are hit hard by the Day of Liberation. This team, under the sharp direction of Mr. Maehleid, will sorely miss five good men. Mayor Garnell Smith, member for live terms, co-captain for one term and captain for two, and twice major-letter winner, has been living proof that you ean't keep a good man down. Sonny Cavaseno, member for eight terms and major-letter winner three times, possesses a steadiness and ability to come through in the clutch, both of which have clinched many meets for the team. Steven Knopp, member for five terms and major-letter winner from away back, is the 220-yard free-style expert. Swift and tireless, Steve has been a threat to opponents. Larry Kilga, another five-term vet and twice major-letter winner, is expected Io take the City Breast-stroke Cham- pionship this year! Arthur Bates F erguson, manager for two terms, has faith- fully upheld the high traditions established by his predecessors. The Commerce Baseball Team, which captured second place in the 1948 Manhattan Championship, is losing not in quantity but in quality. Mr. Flynn, the coach, will miss two men. joseph Di Donato has been a member of the team for two seasons and captain for the last. A really sharp short- stop, hc has been a vital factor in the team's successful season. His prolific bat has also turned in many runs for Commerce. Alfred Minaya has also been on the team for two seasons. His heads-up play at first base has helped win many games. Another team under Mr. Flynn's direction is the Cross-Country. It loses only one player but, as usual, the number one man, Anthony Iirninez, one of the City's best cross-country runners. His speed and endurance have helped his team to victory time after time. ln conclusion, may I sum up the athletes' feelings on leaving-and per- haps the feelings of those remaining-by quoting an inscription found on an old Boston grave-stone: He couldn't stay, he had to go. Thank Cod, from VVhom all blessings flow. DAVID FLAHERTY
