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.

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.

Golf AST year for the first time since 1927, New York University was represented by a golf team in intercollegiate competition. Golf had been dropped by the board of athletic control at the close of the 1927 season due to lack of interest on the part of the student body. Like many other things as soon as an activity is dropped the interest grows. The popularity of the game grew so rapidly that an informal team was organized last season with the consent of Albert B. Nixon, Graduate Manager of Athletics. Three matches were played during the season with colleges in the Metropolitan District. The Violet representatives winning two of the three matches. In the first meet Rutgers proved entirely too strong for our inexperienced team and walked off with an 8 to 1 victory. For the final two meets teams from Fordham and St. John's were outclassed by a much improved Violet 'team. New York University won both matches by the score of 5 to 1. An exceptionally difiicult schedule has been arranged for the 1951 Violet golfers. Prospects for a splendid team look very bright. TEAM J.
