Varsily Indoor Track HE Track team gave a wonderful account of itself in the indoor meets this year. For the second year in a row the Violet athletes took the Metropolitan A.A.U. track title. It is the only college team to have this honor. Chuck jones, Schneider, Fogcl, Sandler, Barker and Grodman along with the Medley relay team accounted for a total of 27 points to capture the meet. Though once again the team failed to recapture the Inter-collegiate AAAA indoor championship, it managed to place fifth. jones tallied four points with a second place in the shot put, Rezneck three more with a third in the weight event while Schneider, Krosney, and Maloney managed to make the final tally twelve points. Jones, Krosney and Barker again came through in the National A. A. U. Cham- pionships and, with a point from Nat Lerner, compiled eight points to tie the New York Athletic Club for third place. Other consistent N. Y. U. men performing unattached were Spitz, Nordell and Singer. Spitz, as everyone already knows, set a new world's record in the high jump when he beat Harold Osborne at the Metropolitan meet with a leap of six feet seven inches. Singer has been taking most all the sprint events run in the Metropolitan area this season while Nordell has placed consistently in the longer runs. 191
