Since it got ort to a late start no appropriation was made in the Manhattan athletic budget for a crew. With the aid of the school ' s Athletic Di- rector. Brother Eusebius, Mr. Mathues man- aged to unccner four rowing machines in excellent condition. These were moxed, to- gether with three shells, from La Salle Mili- tary Academy in Oakdale to their new home in the Harlem Rner.

f ■ -• ' j . ■-•« iMrtiiiiHjilli Mjiihjltji! CiLir Off to a F.isl Stan on iht H.irUiii Mathues had his own ideas about condition- ing and had his squad running two miles daily to strengthen all important leg mus- cles. This was in addition to stroking prac- tice and actual workouts on the river. As in most team sports, spirit plays a large part in crew competition. This outfit had plenty of it and could hardly wait for the first op- ponent to appear. The competition for team berths was keen and Mathues had to keep a sharp eye on all aspirants to determine his starting team. As coxswain he selected Jim Brady, a freshman artsman. In the important stroke position was Les Tarczynski. The remaining spots were filled by Bill Tobin, Andy Paretti, ' Red ' ' O ' Rourke, Nick Mueller, Ed Betz, John Slevin and Jack Coster. Out of six starts the Crew captured three ictories. Proudest moment of the year was the triumph over the two crews of La Salle College at Philadelphia, on the Schuylkil!
