Bill Atiiitsoii Bob Burke later when the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A., the piece de resistance of the indoor season, held its annual title games. Second in 1947, the Jaspers were counted on to regain that position behind NYU. But Bob Geigengack ' s Yale squad, with points aplenty in the field, came in between the Violets and the Green for second honors this year. The final stand- ing had NYU with 311 2- Yale 23I 2 and Manhattan 18. As was the case throughout the indoor campaign it was Cianciabella and the two mile relay which set the pace for Manhattan as the former retained his laurels in the 60 and a foursome of Moran, Sullivan, Cava- naugh and Rienzo captured the latter e ent With ease. Chance was clocked in 0:06.3 and the two mile in 7:58. Other point getters were the mile relay (Kent. Dan Sullivan, Quigley and Noll) second; Tom Com erford a heartbreaking third in the 1000 to Phil Thigpen of Seton Hall and NYU ' s Reginald Pearman and Phil O ' Connell ' s fifth place in the same e ent. The curtain on the longest indoor schedule in the history of the sport was finally rung down on March 6th ith the New York Knights of Columbus fixture at the Eighth Avenue arena. Although slightly changed in personnel, the formula was the same as it had been all year for the two mile relay as a quartet of Paul Tiernan, Iggie Rienzo, Cavanaugh and Comerford triumphed hand- ily. Ed Dunne ' s first in the 60-yard dash handicap and Chance ' s third in the 60 in- itation ended the jasper scoring. 256
