Jim 1933 ' was composed oT nine Seniors, Three Juniors, and one FourTh Former, Murray Urie, The 'VarsiTy cenTer, was The individual sTar oT The Team. Combining his unusual aThleTic abiliTy wiTh a Thor- ough knowledge oT The game, Urie was noT only The Team's mosT consisTenT scorer, buT Trom his posiTion he direcfed The whole TronT line. As Tullbaclcs The Team had Two veTerans, John I-lerman and Horace Henry. BoTh were sTeady and reliable: exceIIenT on deTense, wiTh powerTul lciclcs. Along wiTh Urie They were chosen on The New Yorlc World Telegram's All-STar PrivaTe School Team. The mosT erraTic, and aT Times The mosT brillianT player on The squad was Louis Jacobson, cenTer hahcbaclc. Three oThers, David Lindsay, Ben Cohn, and Philip Gerlach divided The oTher halTbaclc duTies. Lindsay, a plugging, aggressive back, deTended The leTT side oT The Tield. C-Serlach, The regular righT halTbaclc. was oTTen ineligible, because oT The TacT ThaT he was a posT graduaTe. When he did play, he puT on a remarkably Tine exhibiTion. Cohn pla ed The same Type oT game as Lindsay: never brillianT, buT always dependable. ln The line Coach SchmiTT used Tour men besides Urie. AT righT ouTside, Philip BeaTman dribbled and passed wiTh The Tinesse oT a veTeran. George DelacorTe held The righT inside posiTion. AlThough his playing was oTTen disappoinTing, he did exTremely well in The Poly Prep game. Monroe l-lemmerdinger and RoberT Mason, boTh clever dribblers and accuraTe shoTs, occupied The leTT inside posT alTernaTely. William Tyrrell, a newcomer To The soccer squad, played a hard-TighTing, capable game aT leTT ouTside. The goalguard was Andre Mendel, The only Sophomore on The Team. Mendel improved rapidly during The course oT The season, display- ing his besT Torm in The Birch-WaThen baTTle. John Gwynne, The manager, arranged a dif- TiculT buT well balanced schedule, and was always on hand during The year. Too much praise cannoT be heaped upon Mr. Fred E. SchmiTT Tor Turning ouT Three Tine Teams in Tour years. The record oT The I933 'VarsiTv Soccer Squad is one oT which we well may be proud. The Team had Tive vicTories To iTs crediT, while suT- Tering buT Two deTeaTs and Tieing once. fI4Off
