Manl1aHan Rally Defeais Violel' 23-2l The Manhattan College basketball team dehnitely proved last night that if a team makes enough baskets the foul shots are unimportant, and in doing so the undefeated jaspers ran their string of consecutive triumphs to sixteen with a fine victory over a gallant N. Y. U. five by a score of 23-21. Manhattan made good in only two of its nine fouls, whereas the Violet players sank nine out of fourteen. Manhattan, however, in true workmanlike manner, realized the full value of the two-pointers to score ten baskets, while the proud conquerors of St. johns were held to six. The second triumph this winter for Manhattan over N. Y. U. was decisive despite the closeness of the final score and despite the alarming fact that N. Y. U. led the green-clad players 7-0 at the outset. Shaid and Hasset then piled up 8 points to make it 10-8 in favor of the Violet at the half period. The lead see-sawed in the second half, with but a minute to go McCormack sunk a two-pointer in from the center of the court, giving the Manhattan five a two point lead. Fighl' Violetl Quinlef Loses Final Game lo C. C. N. Y.-29-24 The victory over the Violet quintet rested at the end of a trail thicketed with the cramp of the Lavender outfit, the dour face of a fate that made eye-last misses of Violet shots and the bedlam of 6,000 fans and the varsity found the going too rough. It was a sad end to a season that was marked Saturday after Saturday by a battling series of ups and downs. Yet against C. C. N. Y. the varsity rallied after making a miserable start and pounded down the stretch with as brave a show of courage and grit as any Violet team has ever shown. Held to a single score from the floor in the first half and facing a 15-7 handicap going into the second period, Howard Cann's team picked itself together, and fought within hailing distance of the Lavender time after time, and at the end threw a scare into the hysterical City rooters by climbing to within 3 points of the City College lead. Violel Quinlel Nosecl Ou+ by Slrong Ram Five-27-26 Some 4,000 fans who sat in the 102nd Regiment Armory were treated to numerous thrilling pictures by jerry Radice, whose brilliant playing gave his team the victory and by Sammy Siegel whose total of 12 points just fell short of enough to win. Wliile the Violets were trying for and missing the basket, their rivals were making good connections. Hurley and Putzer were credited with four points each, Red Weiss chalked up a goal and a foul and jerry Radice came through with two points. The half ended at 15-8 in favor of the Ram. The Violet began to End the basket in the second half, and the lead see-sawed until Radice's long heave clinched the game for Fordham in the final seconds of play. 187

Ouicloor Track ITH Harry Schneider at the tiller the ship of the N. Y. U. track team will swing into the turbulent waters of one truly stormy schedule. With Coach Von Elling as ship builder, how- ever, the chances of the team's foundering in the storm are weak indeed. With Schneider and jones entered in the shotput, Von Elling has a compass that will set the crew well on the route to victory. Resnick, as a potential first in the weight throw, and Sid Elstein, former junior javelin champ, will form the steel plates that will take the buffers of the waves of competition and cast them off as mere lappings of the tide. Maloney, stellar miler of the violet group, will be the steel pointed prow of the ship, which will cut through competition as the Leviathan cuts through the waves that beset its paths. Krosney and Fogel will be the wheel that will keep the ship straight on its all con- quering course, for it is a rare thing for a team to have two such truly fast sprinters, while Sandler, sturdy two miler, may be likened to the motor which keeps faithfully pounding away until the ship comes into port. Harry Hoffman, broadjumper and 220 man of interscholastic fame, will be the portholes, through which one may see victory approaching but is perfectly safe from any onset of the fighting waters. Roach, Pumphry, Trachey, and Sandler, will be the gyroscope that will reduce to a minimum the chance of any of the crew getting seasick, for this is practicaly the fastest mile relay in metro- politan sections. And joe Hickey, former miler, will be assistant navigator to Von Elling, and between the two of them there is no doubt that the ship will come in. There are several promising candidates who will come into notice as the vagaries of the sea of competition are met, and these can be called the radio, of which there is not much to be heard until something happens to the other parts of a ship, and something has to be done in an emergency. 189
