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

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

Inframural Acfivifies N extensive intra-mural program, the first in the new program of the school, has been arranged under the expert guidance of Nat Tilem. His policy is one wherein all activities come under .the same heading. There is no differentiation between the so called major and minor sports. All sports occupy the same prestige and prominence. The first term saw the completion of the handball and basketball tournaments. Handball was capably managed by Les Kaplan and run off in a successful manner. The basketball tournament, under the guidance of Irv Welsher, came to an ending with the freshman class victorious. Listed in the sports for the second term we find the rest of the following activities. Volleyball .............. ' .......... WILLIAM DYCKES Indoor borelmll ..r,,... ............

The only thing that remains is for the students to take advantage of this opportunity, and sign up for the different tournaments. If the program comes to a successful end more activities will be arranged upon student requests. For further information consult the athletic director. 218
