Soon again the natators paddled their way to a 40-35 win over the McBurney squad, which de- pended almost entirely on a few outstanding men. ,lack Brown's time of 0:30.6 seconds for the first half of the one hundred-yard backstroke established a new school record. The outfit again displayed a great deal of manpower. taking all but three first places. On January 30th, in the Harvard interscholas- tics. Jack Brown and Ben Lindgren both placed fourth in their respective events. earning six points in the prep school division. Brown again shattered his backstroke mark, while Lindgren evidenced ex- cellent form in the one hundred-yard free style. The influence of Yale's phenomenal swimming teams seemed to have affected its neighbor, the Hopkins Grammar School, for they took the Miler- men into camp by a 4-2-23 score. The undefeated relay teams of Horace Mann came through again, and Brown continued his record-breaking spree in the only other triumph for the losers. In the biggest upset of the year Horace Mann was again reversed by Hackensack. 29-28. Lind- gren took the fifty-yard dash. with Lee and Blum placing in that order in the breast stroke for the only other first. Although beaten in his specialty by a splash. UBrownie', submerged his record to the excellent time of 1:05.5. Wiith Charlie Moebus back in the fold, the natators edged out Peekskill Military Academy at the cadet's twenty-yard pool, 3-1-32. Unbeaten un- til this meet. Peekskill won all the events except the breast and back strokes and medley relay. A few days later at Fieldston a bevy of comely maid- ens stimulated the adrenaline glands of the tankmen so greatly that they paddled away to a 48-27 vic- tory, breaking four pool records in the act. Lind- gren took two firsts. Brown, Moebus. and Lipman shared premier scoring honors as Brooklyn Prep next succumbed to H. M. 47-27. The two relay teams did their part to suppress the invading foreignersg however, shortly afterwards, another unit from the wilds of South Brooklyn ably avenged their comrades. Poly Prep entertained its visitors by dishing out a 38+28 final defeat. Though it lost only one second place, the H. M. team garnered but two firsts. Charlie Moebus plowed through in the breast stroke, and the medley trio scored easily. Brown lost by a fingernail after hitting the side of the pool on the last turn. In the A. A. P. S. the natators acquitted them- selves in fair style. placing fifth out of a large field. Brown took second honors in the back stroke, help- ing the medley relay team to capture another sec- ond. Terragni took a fourth in the two-twenty-yard swim, while Del Manzo scored a fifth in the century free style. The only other place was accounted for by the relay team of Dike, Lowe. Conrad, and Terragni. Much credit is due to Mr. Miller. who produced a winning outfit. hindered as he was with many dis- appointing absences. Chuck', Hurd and Mather Cleveland performed their managerial duties well. The slart of a trial swim. Conrad. Mae- bus. Blum and Terragni about Ia leave their marks.

ITH the first game on the schedule already under its belt, Horace Mann Varsity baseball team seems headed for a fair season. The nine can- not hope to win much more than fifty per cent of its games unless the mound staff improves to a degree that looks far from probable now. Pitching is a tremendous factor on a high school diamond, and pitching is just what Ump Tewhill's 1937 baseball squad lacks. This problem may have a solution in the per- son of Ben Lindgren, who twirled a 5-2 game at Hackley in the season opener, allowing only two hits. Lindgren fanned eleven batters in ringing up his victory, but also walked severel men and fre- quently had to work himself out of a three and two count. On the other hand, Hackley never had more than one runner on the base paths at the same time and Lindgren invariably managed to tighten up when the going got rough. In addition to Lindgren's excellent showing on the hill. the unexpected smoothness of the Horace Mann defense was a pleasant surprise. Although without the services of Pat Nash, regular shortstop, the Maroon and White nine played an airtight ball game in the field. Lindgren's error in the third was the only H. M. misplay of the ecounter, and the scrappy little second base combination of Joe Nag- ler and Pat Bownes handled several difficult chances in true big league fashion. However, the team is still far from being a first-class ball club. With good pitching, the Hor- ace Mann tossers may go a long way. for the team Put Bourncs. pvppcry infielrlcr, slurls lu lash one our lfilll his Im! well clmlfelf. Durfx is lhe r'u11'fler. has shown itself to be an adequate defensive unit, in addition to offering several threats in the batting order. The infield may turn out to be as good as any that Horace Mann has ever had, with the exception of the great combination of Lucy, Cahill, Segatti, and McCormack of 1935, the year in which the Ma- roon and White was unbeaten. Arnie Kerner is back again at first base and is the only veteran in the in- field. A fast man on the bases, Kerner is also a de- pendable batter. The H. M. first sacker hit safely in every game last year. At the keystone bag, Pat Bownes received the starting assignment and bids fair to hold that position for the remainder of the season, although Joe Nagler is sure to see action at second base, too. Bownes, probably the most con- sistent fielder on the squad, is only a fair hitter, even though added weight has put just that much more extra punch into his batting. Nagler. a better hitter, is not far behind Bownes in the field. Both are small, but make up for lack of stature by their spirited hustling. Pat Nash. who fell victim to the mumps soon after practice began, showed enough in the first few workouts to assure him the regular shortstop posi- tion when he returns. One of the best hitters on the squad, Nash is also a brilliant though unsteady fielder. Harry Greenwald. who played first base for the 1936 Jayvees, completes the infield. As a third baseman, Harry has a long way to go, but is rapidly improving. Greenwald takes a tremendous cut at the ball and his slugging may keep his posi-
