Although Coach Podorski had left the ranks of Manhattan coaches, he has defi- nitely left his mark. Jasper swimming squads for the next few seasons will bear his im- print, as his freshman proteges, such as Jack Frum, rise to greater heights. The team will return next year, minus only the services of Co-Captain, Bob Hassler. With ten victories to start with, the group should go far. John Sich, as instructor in the School of Physical Education, has been appointed to succeed Podorski. Sich comes to Manhattan with a wealth of experience in teaching and coaching. He is a graduate of N. Y. U., where he swam on their varsity, and has taught at such places as the Lincoln School of Columbia University, the Royal Hungarian School of Physical Education in Budapest, and the N. Y. U. Physical Education School. Reynolds. O ' Coiiii ell, Rnhrm.in. O ' Neill, Liehler .iiui McMdhon Ddiiih Kicking W ' orkotil 279
