D irector As the Lincoln athletes set outstanding records in all sports, the L. A. A. becomes more organized and more in need of the support of the student body, for this is the organization which backs the teams financially. This group offers their support by buying an L. A. A. card with no other benefit than that of knowing that they are aiding athletics in Lincoln. Under the capable direction of the ofhcers and advisers, the Lincoln Athletic Association has held two successful dances, has made an enviable record in the sale of tickets, has taken charge of the Monday noon dances, and as this Quill goes to press, plans to hold a radio show for the benefit of the treasury. The L. A. A. is no longer an empty name. Enthusiastic students, proud of their teams, have made this organization the most powerful in the school.

The Man Behind the Gun Said the knowing splint from the field goal post: It wasn't Rockne or Hurry up Yost But another coach who knew his stuff When to be easy and when to be rough. Of course, to win he needed a team! And did he have it? So it would seem. At centre was Ansbro, a broth of a lad, Who some claimed was ancient-now wasn't that sad? With Tede and Murphy guarding the line Were Cochrane and Richards, tackling fine. Plenty of power was out on the end- Iorio, Lee, and Gibbons, my friend. Oh, boy and Oh, boy, did John have the backs? Take it from me, son, they were the cracks-A Flaherty, Finnie, Campbell, Lombardi- I'll say they were good-so speedy and hardy. Cn Election Day, in the year ThirtyfFour- You'll let out a yell when you look at the score- Lincoln came through with a win-Twelve to None! And Slane was the coach behind the gun. H. E. P.

1 Q A GNQJ E p as AL L l s X ' X fy as fGames not recorded in the June, 1934, issue of the Quill. J Inspired by their 8f7 victory over Dickinson, Lincoln enjoyed a lengthy winning streak. With heads up they scored a 8f3 victory over Memorial. This defeat resulted in the West New York team's dropping out of first place in the county race into a third place tie with the Blue and White. A 3f2 victory over Good Counsel was effected by Lincoln's strong defensive play and Joe Scott's sturdy arm. The fourth straight triumph was scored when the Lions emerged on the long end of a free hitting contest with Bayonne. In losing, the Leemen dropped from the Hrst place berth in the county scholastic baseball standing. The Lincoln nine rolled on, turning back Memorial for the second time, 9f1. This game, featured by Muldoon's masterly pitching and Yengo's Cameron's, and Cochrane's brilliant hitting, strengthened the Lion's claim on the county crown. The Big Blue assumed full leadership in the county scholastic standing when it pounded out a Sf0 victory over St. Michael's. With sunshine come clouds. This was exempliied when Lincoln, after six straight wins, suffered a 90. setback at the hands of Dickinson. Though hopes for winning the county baseball championship seemed shattered, the Lions, by defeating St. Michael's 4f3, became cofholder of the county crown. After a 14f10 defeat by Good Counsel Lincoln accepted the offer of playing three games with Memorial to decide the undisputed possession of the championship title. Memorial took all the honors when it defeated Lincoln in two straight games to the tune of 17f9 and 6f0. With many veterans in the linefup, Lincoln looks forward to another successful season on the diamond. Those positions left vacant by the graduf ations of Muldoon, Lombardi, and Cochrane will be filled by the promising material on hand. A very interesting schedule including St. Peter's, Dick' inson, Ridgewood, and Bayonne is anticipated with bright hopes of success.
