,B Varsity Basketball Team the trials and triumphs of the Basketball and Track seasons only. Here Manhat- tan has made itself felt in its first year of renewed intercollegiate competition. F rom the success achieved in these fields a most welcome period of performance and proficiency can be augu1'ed for a leadership hard earned and well deserved in the face of stiff competition. Despite the stiff requirements for ad- mission to the college as a result of the new demands on collegiate facilities, Manhattan will number a commendable group of athletes amongst its students in 1946 and 1947. If, in the face of only short practice seasons, our basketball teams and the various track a0'ffre0fations bb b have been able to 1nake so fine a name for themselves, there is reason to feel that the future for intercollegiate compe- tition in these two fields is very bright. Manhattan succeeded last year in spiking the retirement of the TC4A trophy, and looks forward to getting the necessary final leg on the trophy for permanent possession. If the number of trophies garnered this year in track is any indi- cation of what the future will bring, our hopes can with reason be very high. The Manhattanite is pleased to record last year's sports scene. May our record be a means of helping reenact the joys and thrills, the fears and disappointments as well as the nostalgic reminders of Manhattaifs resurrected participation in the sports of the Metropolis.
