REEL Although handicapped throughout the season by injuries to his players, Coach Reel succeeded in producing an eleven of which the school is justly proud. Mr. Reel instilled in his men that spirit of determination which is unbreakable. A graduate of the University of Ne- braska where he established an admir- able record both with his books and his athletics, he has been well fitted for his duties as a mentor. ln the past ten years he has coached many teams to victory. We hoped that Mr. Reel could continue with us throughout our basketball and baseball seasons, but he found it neces- sary to assume a position of responsi- bility at Fort Myers, Florida. yu f fiigiil V 1 'ws f L .V y V MR. J. HOLBERT BYRAM Mr. Byram plays a very important part in all of the branches of Irving School athletics. There are many little tricks to every sport and Mr. Byram can give advice on all of them. All his life, Mr. Byram has been an outstanding athlete. At Purdue he made a worthy name for himself. Here at Irving he is a man whom everyone looks up to and admires. His popular- ity is not due to his athletic ability alone, his open friendliness places him high in the hearts of all who have connection with him. His chief activities have been in the calisthenics and gym work with those boys who have needed some special form of exercise. f '? is J ik - ..Q li Page one hundred ten M' .. i 's ' f--ff 'EMS It

4 ' Ml- 1 -nEinn'f 3... ' 3 - '- fi- A' XJ 5 mv1NG SK1-:Ton Boon it Golf Team Irving will this year enter into a new field of com- petitive athletics. A golf team has been recently organ- ized which can be expected to do great honor to our Alma Mater. In the past years golf teams have been or- ganized but have never entered into competition with other schools because a golf course has not been avail- able. However, this year challenges have been issued to several of the leading preparatory schools in this part of the State. It is hoped to include Horrace Mann, Poly Prep., Montclair Academy and Choate on the schedule. The team has held several meetings to organize it- self. Regular practice will be held later in the spring. Dick Thomson, clubslinger from Up-State, was elected captain. John Howey can be expected to shine with his sticks this season. Eckert, Kilborn and Jimmy Richards are said to be unsurpassed in their own class. Golf teaches sportsmanship, perseverance and gritg as well as being a great health builder. With these thoughts in mind, the golf team was organized. The game has come up in the ranks of major athletics very rapidly in the past few years. It holds a high place in college and preparatory school sports. Golf is proving a valuable addition to athletic activities wherever it is played.

Har- man, has accomplished great work in the past two years and this year's p1'OS- pects again appear as likely as ever for another successful season. Hailing' from the University of Penn- sylvania where he established a worthy record for himself until overtaken by sickness, Mr. Harman is indeed fitted to assume control of any track squad. Quite a number of last year's men have reported for p1'eliminary practice and there are some new athletes in good conditiong thus, when the season offi- cially opens, work may be begun with- out delay. Mr. Harman is a coach upon whom we may rely to use his material to its best advantage. MR. JAMES H. CI-IOWN This is Mr. Chown's first year as a coach. He has taken charge of varsity baseball this season and has high ex- pectations of producing a first class team. We take this space to extend our heartiest best wishes to Mr. Chown for a successful season on the diamond. Mr. Chown, a graduate of St. John's College, has had a thorough training in this sport as well as in many others including football, basketball, tennis, hockey, and wrestling. Besides being the coach of baseball he helps to coach nearly all of the other sports. His advice in track, ten- nis, and football is always beneficial to the members of the teams. He is a brilliant teacher as well. All of these merits produce our esteem of Mr. Chown. 1 WW' -r '31, 'c i if fx A, , R Page one hundred eleven I ' Nag., .
