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.
