F the first game of the year may be used as a barometer for the rest of the schedule, nothing but success can be predicted for the Third Baseball Team. Under the direction of Mr. Metcalf, who has taken over the position vacated by Mr. Gibson, the Jayvees defeated St. John's in a 3-2 decision and turned in one of the finest exhibitions of the sport ever witnessed at Horace Mann. Al Lewis proved his worth by fanning nine- teen of the opposing batters in the nine-inning game, which was also featured by a triple play. Lewis is moreover a dependable hitter, and with Bill Orcutt ready to step into the box at any time, the coachis only worry is whether Lefty Arnoff, at the re- ceiving end of the battery, can hold on to the balls. At the initial sack John Greenwald feels right at home, and with his sure-fire slugging ability coupled with his fine fielding he has a season lease on his favorite spot. Bobby Kaufmann also com- bines both of these qualities at the keystone bag. Ralph Thompson's pegs are faintly reminiscent of Don Collins's sizzlers, and the runner really is not given a fair chance if he hits into the short stop's territory. Johnny Kubie cools off the hits at the hot corner without much trouble and he is a fairly consistent hitter. The daisy-pickers do not quite match up with the infielders. At left field Bob Ludwig can catch the ball without much difficulty, but is a bit weak u,y..' . .. at the plate. Jimmy Levy shines back at the sun from center field, where he remains by virtue of a strong throw-in. Tom Van Raalte is a capable right fielder. Several subs are trying to break into the line-up and Bob Miller evidences the most ability and stands a good chance of landing an outfield position. If Lewis keeps up his phenomenal hurling, the outfield need not be a millionfdollar one, but 'fUmp,, Tewhill may decide that the Varsity needs some new talent to face the batters. However, as it is, the Thirds seem to have all that is necessary for a winning aggregation. Whether or not this yearis ,layvee nine wins con- sistently, there will be no fault found in the team's spirit. Mr. Metcalf, handling the baseball Thirds for the first time, is known for his fiery. inspira- tional direction and tutelage. Coach Metcalf has to work with inexperienced material, but the results he has already obtained show that he will more than fill the bill as a baseball mentor. As a foot- ball coach, he has proved tremendously successful, and his efforts on the diamond have started auspi- ciously enough for the first season and promises to ring up enviable records in the future. Manager Irving P. Brown has arranged a try- ing schedule, with Leake and Watts, Poly Prep, Hackensack, and Riverdale at home, and Adelphi, Poly Prep and Mt. St. Michaels away. JAYVEE BASEBALL

NCIS again a very mediocre season appears to confront the Varsity Track team.

A. P. S. The Medal Meet. reinstated after a year's furlough. has already proven the calibre of several of the runners. With Clyde Arnspiger. Larry Lader. and Ger- man Perez the only returning letter-men. it was nec- essary to build almost an entire new team from the ranks of the newcomers. Both Compton and Bijur have not come out for track. which leaves Arnspiger and Perez to bear the brunt of the distance races. and as yet Alver Ives is the only commendable low hurdler. Since Dick Usenkop's graduation the dust on the high hurdles has not been disturbed. It may even be necessary to impress Perez into service for this event, and Arnspiger is also a likely candidate for the seemingly unpopular berth. Whereas last year's outfit was strong in the field events and noticeably weak in the running de- partment, the 1937 group appears to be just the opposite. ,lim Turner. the mainstay of the shot putt. discus. and javelin. is now spearing worms at Holy Cross. and Bob Rodezno. pole vault record-holder and often helpful in the half-mile. will be surely missed. Tuck. liill Gibson. and Hob Moebus are also gone. Though there is a negligible number of indi- vidual stars, the team is far better balanced than usual.

Harry Kolb will be at the head of the list in the high jump and will probably be one of the starters in the sprints. Elton Lovett is by far the best sprinter. Though a newcomer to school it is rumored that he burns up the cinders at the rate of one hundred yards in IO.--L seconds and gallops over the 220-yard stretch in about 22.11 seconds. Tom Rosenberg also shows up well in the dashes. with Miller. Stich, and Hob Yam- polsky as likely Hll-ins. The quarter-mile is another strong event. Ger- man Perez, crack letter-man from last year's team. is steadily improving. Updike should show better form with more practice. Ted Conrad. Emile Rim- bault, and Bob Zucker may also be among the starters. At leflfflflr. flliller. Veteran Carzefz of H. M. lrllclf leruns. cmzfinerl himself lo field eecnls this year. Illr.
