School of Eduoalion Boxing HE School of Education has its boxing confined to intra-murals at the present time. This sport was organized at the beginning of the Fall semester, 1950. The Boxing squad, like the Gym team was organized for the purpose of demonstration. It is intended that thc squad will give its first demonstration on March 20, 1931. Mr. Murray W. Goldenberg, the coach, has assembled a fine group of men, that are very anxious to learn the art of self-defense. He claims that before long certain men on the squad are bound to be artists. Among the outstanding men on the squad are: Forster, Blau, Zoble, Friedman, Marinello, Haggerty, Vidaiv, Loeb, Macrini, Sisano, and Held. 216

i Educafion Gymnasfic Team HOUGH the School of Education has had Basketball and Soccer teams before, the Gym team is a new departure. It was organized at the beginning of the Fall semester, 1930. - Unlike the other teams, the Gym squad was not formed primarily for the pur- pose of competition but for demonstrations. It is intended that a series of exhibitions be given at various secondary and normal schools, in order that the work at New York University in Physical Education and Health may be better known. Mr. Rodgers, the coach, has assembled a team that would, if it did enter competi- tion, give an excellent account of itself. Irwin Trincher, the sophomore manager of the team, feels that a group capable of making such a great advance as this one has in such a short period is worthy of representing the school. 215

Eclucaiion Volleyball Team N attempting to introduce into collegiate circles the sport of Volleyball, the School of Education organized a new team this fall. The fact that no other educational institutions, as such, supported Volleyball teams made it necessary to inaugurate the sport at N. Y. U. by arranging a schedule with a number of Y. M. C. A. teams. In all, fourteen games were scheduled. Some of the visitors had formidable com- binations, among them Bedford, Prospect Park, and Newark. A group of men such as were gathered to represent the school in a sport new to them could hardly have been expected to make such a splendid showing against these experienced teams as these men are doing. They have forced the best of the visitors to extend themselves to the limit to win, and if it had not been for their lack of experience, they would have turned the tables in several of the more closely contested games. Witlm Allon, Blechschmidt, Tilem, Farber, and Sandelman, all set-up men, and Benchin, Blutreich, Dyckes, and Schaeffer fSpikersj all due back next year, we will have quite a team. Eclucalion Track Team LANS are under way for the formation of a School of Education Track Team. Witlm the able Phil Bernstein as coach and some added assistance from Happy , Furth, the team will not lack for good handling. Wl1itey Grossman, acting as manager, has announced that the squad will be in for a difficult schedule. Two out-of-town meets have been arranged! One on May 2, at East Stroudsburg and the other on May 9, at Springfield. The pre-season enthusiasm indicates a large turnout for the first practice. Let's go. 217
