Rifle HIS year's record for the Violet Rifle Team was a splendid one. In the regular dual meets the Violet Gunmen won all but one contest. The team deserves what praise may be heaped upon it. Our team tied with the City College of New York for honors in the fourth annual shoulder-to-shoulder, Eastern Sectional rifle matches for the national inter-collegiate championship at the Commonwealth Armory. Both teams attained a total of 1,299 points in the three positions. Harry A. Mannin of N. Y. U. was high individual scorer this year. ' A glance at the scores of the teams competing will bring to a realization the ability necessary to reach the position the team attained this year. Congratulations are in order.

Varsity Fencing NDER the leadership of Captain Hal Picket, the Fencing team closed its 1931 season of dual competition with a record of five victories and four defeats. Wittenberg, Boston University, Massachusetts Tech., Colgate and the University of Pennsylvania were victims of our swordsmen by good margins. The losses, how- ever, were heartbreaking. By a margin of 1 QONEJ point, each a 9-8 score, the team bowed to Harvard, Yale and Columbia. Still there was no alibi for the 12-5 defeat at the hands of Princeton. The Tigers were just too good. Captain Picket, and the sophomore star, jose De Capriles, were oustanding per- formers. Jose did nobly, not only with the foils, but with the Epee. Walter Grautoii' also fought in both these classes. Di Giacinto, Rose, Goldenstein, Zimet and others rounded out the squad, the last three being Saber men. The team is entered in the Intercollegiate fencing championships and from the showing they have made in their individual combats they should give a good account of themselves. The Frosh Fencers promise some excellent material for next year. just sit back and waitg they'l1 show up better in '32, 201

Cross Counfry NDER their new Captain, Sam Kestenbaum, the Violet harriers aspire to new heights this year. To hear the squad and some of the followers talk, the National Championship is as good as ours. Barker and Grodman, who have both been performing well indoors this winter, will be on the squad again. Both with Kestenbaum are counted to score consistently for the Violet. Demler, Lerner, Hutner and Twomey are other members of the squad who can be depended on to give the judges worthwhile reasons for stopping their watches. It looks like a pretty good year. 1930 MEETS N. Y. U ...,....... ........... 1 5 Villanova ........... ,..,,.,,.,.. 4 0 N. Y.
