MANCZ Manager Coach Captain severely hurt it played City College of New York to a bitter finish but to no avail for we again met defeat. 'Twas a bitter game and a heart breaking score-for isn't 25-1-L close? Just a minute, I'll call back some of the thrills and some of p N 1' I I 4 at the heartbreaks. l ' The day was cold and a bitter wind huddled the many girls closer to their boy friends. About fifteen thousand people shivered while awaiting the opposing elevens ' to take the field. After the crowd had yelled itself hoarse, while the teams rushed 1 up and down the fieldfa sudden stillness gripped all as the whistle blew and the il pigskin thudded against a Jasper toe and sailed courageously into enemy lines. 1 Back and forth they struggled, man after man being knocked senseless, till finally .' the long awaited break came. City intercepted a Manhattan pass and with no one X within twenty yards a fieet-footed Lavender man romped over the last marker for a j touchdown. Again they scored and again-in rapid successiong the Manhattan root- ers groaned and prayed, and groaned some more for they scored again and with the J half time whistle the City College eleven ran briskly off the field safely behind a - lead of 25 points leaving a bruised and seemingly outwitted team behind them. Our stands were quiet-and many of the Green team were crying like kids. But . Nippy Dunne ,26 was Captain of the outfit and Jim McCarthy was coach and again i they ran on to the field to battle that second half. George Smithis right arm was useless because of blood poisoning and was strapped to his side-he played the whole game too-that's what college men term ugutsf' The third quarter was scorc- less but the fourth-what a fight! Yard after yard the Green fought its way to the otheris goal and on a fourth down rushed the ball the necessary three yards to score. Neil Cohalan's accurate foot booted the extra point and the score was 25-7. 1 Again the ball was rushed down the field and on a forward pass that Smith caught Q r V' X Om' Hundred Si.1'Iy-nine 1 I fs X' ,ir r x -:X fi J' xJ R t A 'cj' -a

Here the P City defense stiffened and after many trys werei made to rush the ball over, City kicked out of danger and the game was over. It causes a smile of pleasure to f wreathe our faces now when we remember the spirit that continued in spite of all 1 these offsets, so let us conclude our first football season with our Alma Mater,- we were satisfied for Manhattan was climbing and next year was our boast. Football was soon forgotten with the rush of candidates for basketball and here 1 is where we shone, Boasting of the best five in the entire East, if not the 'E country, we met all opposition and played them off their feet. Starting with a long string of victories and under the clever captaincy of Gene Meenan and the ,-I coaching of Artie Carroll we turned in one of the best seasons Manhattan has ever I known. In its list of victories was that of a -M-27 defeat handed to City College, J the worst defeat suffered by the Lavender in ten years. Fordham again proved our stumbling block and in a close game Manhattan left the floor the loser--but a good loser. YVait until next year was again the cry! .J In the meantime Pete YVaters had been working his track men and here we were well represented on the cinder path and board track. The results of the , indoor track season won the admiration of all those interested in Manhattan athletics. ' Then there was Manhattan's Diamond meet-its first one--and a successful one, the main event was the Jasper three-quarters,', and a beautiful bronze statue was the outstanding feature, the work of the Belgian sculpor Bastier. The success of the meet was largely due to Brother Richard, who labored night and day compiling the program and long lists of entries.
