'Varsity Soccer Review HE 1929 'Varsity Soccer team was one of the best that has ever repre- sented Horace Mann. Amassing twenty-one points to seven for their opponents, the team went unconquered through the season, captured the Private School Championship of New York City, and laid claim to the mythical championship of New York State. Seven victories were recorded over strong opponents, while on two occasions fiercely fought games resulted in ties. With five veterans on hand to form a nucleus, coach Schmitt lost little time in shaping the team. The return of so large a number of players who had had one or more years' experience in 'Varsity play made the prospects for a successful season apparent at the very beginning of the training period. The optimistic outlook for future results was further encouraged when, after two weeks' practice, De Witt Clinton was defeated in a practice scrimmage, 1-0. While the game was unofficial it offered an opportunity to estimate the ability of the players, and it was generally realized that the soccerites were about to enjoy a most successful season. The opening game was with McBurney on October 15. In the first few minutes of play, Henry Werner, a veteran, was injured, but the H.M. con- tingent found the opposing team very weak, and triumphed easily, even more easily than the score indicates, 4-0. Staten Island Academy was next on the schedule, and they, too, proved easy opponents for the Maroon and White. In an unusually slow and tiresome game the Staten Island outfit was conquered 3-1. In the next encounter the team reached its best form of the season in a heated contest with George Washington High School. H.M. maintained a 1-0 lead throughout the greater part of the game, but in the last five minutes of play George Washington managed to score once. The final count was 1-1, both teams having displayed very exceptional soccer. The following week the 'Varsity traveled to Cornwall to play its annual game with New York Military Academy. The two teams were fairly well matched and a hard fought contest resulted in a scoreless tie. After this game, Horace Mann engaged two of its near-by opponents, Fieldston and Riverdale. In neither match was the Maroon and White extended, although both victories were won by but one point. On November 18, Horace Mann met Tabor Academy of Marion, Mass., before a crowd of 1 - several hundred spectators at Van Cortlandt Park. The home team displayed the finest brand of soccer of the entire season, completely outplaying the New England aggregation by a score of 2-1. This game was followed by a return match with McBurney, Horace Mann again winning quite easily. There was, however, a perceptible let-down in the playing from that shown in the Tabor contest. The final match of the schedule found Horace Mann in Brooklyn en- One hundred fixly-two
