Baseball HE varsity baseball team won fifteen games and lost but seven. This was one of the best records turned in by a Violet diamond team in years. In 1922 the N. Y. U. ball team won seven and lost six games. In 1923 the Violet diamond combination won thirteen of the twenty games played and in 1924 and 1925 the varsity outfits lost four out of nineteen games each season. Nine games out of a program of twenty-one games were lost in the 1927 season and the following year the team won fifteen of the twenty diamond encounters. Last season the McCarthy-coached nine won-sixteen of their twenty-two games. The 1930 outfit tallied one hundred and forty-six runs while their opponents crossed the Violet home plate one hundred and two times. The team had a hitting average of .259. Victories over Columbia, Manhattan, City College, Duke, Villanova, St. john's, Rutgers, Stevens and the alumni were the bright spots on the 1930 record. The Violet won twice from Colgate and also twice from Georgetown. Coach William V. McCarthy's team broke even with Fordham and the Quantico Marines. Holy Cross, Pennsylvania, the N. Y. A.

Varsify Baseball HE 1930 squad turned in one of the best rec- ords that any Violet diamond team has made in years. Of the 22 contests engaged in, the team won 15 and lost seven. Standing out were the victories over Columbia, St. john's and Rutgers. The Fordham combination broke even, while Army, Pennsylvania, Holy Cross, N. Y. A. C., Yale, and the Quantico Marines beat the Violet warriors. Coach McCarthy's outfit scored one hundred and forty-six runs during the season, while hold- ing their opponents to one hundred and two rallies. The team's batting overage was a fair .259. There will be quite a call for new material this year. The graduation of most of the veteran infielders leaves McCarthy with the difficult task of filling their boots. Coach Robert's freshman nine, however, turned in a promising record of six victories and three defeats. All three losses were at the hands of powerful teams and by the narrowest of margins. The cub team will be able to furnish some fairly good material for this year's pitching staff. Bob McNamara, the galloping, line-smashing sophomore back of the 1930 Gridmen, is a pitcher of no mean ability. With him will be John Symanzyk, a southpaw artist, Zignor, Herzog and Shearer, another left hander. The addition of jimmy Lee, who operated behind the bat so successfully for last year's yearlings, will be a great asset to the Varsity bat- tery squad. The rest of the infield will probably ,V , be taken care of by some of last year's substitutes. 5 For the outfield, the frosh furnished some excellent material in the shape of MacDonald, one of Bob's football mates, and last season's slugging sensation, Babe Boggini, who will aspire to fill Kastner's old patrol in center field. If only that infield can be patched up we'll have a dandy team for 1931. 195

Frosh Sporls N freshman sports the N. Y. U. athletes managed to present a good showing and helped to assure the varsity coaches of valuable material for future campaigns. The frosh football team won from St. john's Prep, Mackenzie School, Eastman Business College, Bellefonte Academy, Vermont Academy and the Rutgers Freshmen. Both Dean Academy and the Fordham University Freshmen defeated Coach Arthur H. Roberts' cub eleven. The Maroon yearlings won from the N. Y. U. eleven in a post- season charity contest. The showing of the Frosh Basketball and Football squads set a standard almost too high for other Frosh teams to try for. The court record of nine games won of the nine scheduled games, not to mention other minor engagements was hardly better than that of the Pigskin rustlers who lost but two of their engagements. The 1930 cross- country Frosh team went undefeated in dual competition, and the 1930 yearling baseball squad showed six victories for three defeats. The '31 Frosh Cross-country and Track Qwe really should say 'arty squads, though not active at the time of this writing, have a lineup that should take all of its meets. With Spitz in the high jump event, Twomey and Nordell in the mile, and Lamb, the former inter-scholastic quarter-mile champion, most any coach would be satisfied. But there also are Zarembe and Itzkowitz of the grid team out for weight throwing and other former scholastic stars to round out the group. In Fencing, Boxing and Swimming the Freshmen have shown excellent material, but aside from the coaches' report of material on hand there seems to be very little information as to any definite activities of these squads. 195
