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

A. indoor meets with an all-time scoring record of twenty-five points, surpassing the record of eighteen points made by Princeton's Hills from 1923 to 1925.
