This . team had made a considerable record and was expected to win easily. Hor- ,X ace Mann, however, had an on-day. That was unfortunate for Kingsley, for - f the final result broke the New jersey team's ten game winning streak. The score was Horace Mann 18, Kingsley 14. The last game of the season, with Loyola, was an easy l victory for Horace Mann. Loyola never was in the lead, as , Q and Horace Mann steadily added to its points each quarter l until at the end the score was H. M. 36, Loyola 17. . 1 In the Manhattan Tournament Horace Mann had little l success. The team managed to win the first game from yi ' i' l' Cathedral Boys High, 26-19. In the second round, how- l , ever, Horace Mann met Berkley-Irving for the second time, lj and again was defeated. Berkley-Irving eventually won the fit mg A tournament. 'l 2 ' I George Plews, at center, was the team's best player. He li 1 H was a good passer, the only really good passer on the squad, he scored the 3 , greatest number of points, and his defensive play was always good. At the il I forward positions, Mayo and Knap were the regulars. Knap y in was the better shot, but Mayo played a better Hoot game. Knap was erratic in performance. Often he was leading scorer on the team for a game, while on other occasions he would go the entire afternoon without making a point, and missing numerous easy shots. Mayo was a rather poor shot, but he was excellent at faking and dribbling. Comfort, Clark and Freeman were the guards. Comfort played more constantly than the others, and did a fair job. However, he was better at scoring himself than he was at keeping his opponent from scoring. Clark began the season well, but played poorly towards the end. Freeman, who succeeded Clark, did very well for the few games he played. The substitutes were Inglis, Bohrer, Ferris, and Kahn. 1 One hundred fifty-luv

fb P Q QP Q f , , , Morristown Academy was the next team to find Horace ' Mann an easy opponent. The Maroon and White players jumped around aimlessly in the first half, played the vic- E - tors evenly in the third quarter, and then, in the fourth ' E quarter spurted surprisingly when all hope of gaining a S E victory was gone. The score was 36-21. . The H. M. five won its hrst game of the season with another secondary school team by handing a 39-14 defeat to Trinity on the losers' court. Trinity was completely out- classed, and never had much chance for victory. 0'2 Following the Trinity game came the Milford contest, and Horace Mann completely surprised by downing the Connecticut team by two points. The game was one of the high spots of the season. The final gf,- score was Horace Mann 27, Milford 25. Returning home, and playing three days after the victorious Milford trip the Maroon and White team lost to Berkley-Irving, 30-27. It was a thrilling encounter, and Horace Mann led until the last three minutes when Berkley- 'fx- Irving attempted many long shots fand what is more important, made theml to eke out a victory. Montclair Academy was then defeated, 26-16. This was a rather well played game, although neither team displayed any remarkable ability. The annual contest with the Columbia Freshmen took place at Columbia. The Freshmen had far the better team and won, 30-11. Irving was defeated in the next game, 32-28. Despite the victory, Horace Mann gave a poor exhibition. Leading at one time by sixteen points this substantial margin was narrowed down in the last quarter to bring the game within Irving's grasp. Pawling was next on the schedule. Horace Mann rolled up a 17-4 lead at half time. Then, completely revers- ing their form the players blew this lead and lost the game 24-22 in the last minute of play. Against Pawling the team had its ofl-day and on-day spasms in the same afternoon. And the off-day spasm won. Next came Fieldston. Not only the team, but also the 1 school came over en masse. And the entire Fieldston Stu- dent body cheering, with the aid of megaphones and pen- nants, in the Horace Mann gym. They cheered their own cheer leaders, their coach, their managers, their two great danes, and incidentally, their team. Amidst all the shouting Horace Mann defeated Fieldston in a game of basket- ball, 24-11. Newark Prep came to Horace Mann with only five reg- ulars and no cheering section. And Newark Prep won easily, 41-22. This was the biggest defeat Horace Mann suffered all season. Nor was it particularly the result of terrible playing. v One hundred fifty-one 0- ' -4- -- -- l ll ,- . - , ,a,.ma,....w 1 A W ---Y-gxn YW b Y W Y V l YAY X Wy WW l ..,.,f -..ft-... -.f--,A ...I--..-. ...f--c.. ....f-x.. ,.....- l it x .l J 4. ni...---.---..-...g -f..- - :ax
