FEW ATHLETES CARRY LAURELS FOR SENllOlRS This year's graduating class has the fewest athletes of any class in at least the preceding 11 years. Inasmuch as accurate records in The Review office go back only 11 years we cannot include any facts prior to January, 1932. Counting both girls and boys, the class of January '42 has a total of 13 varsity athletes who are distributed among five different sports ranging from tennis to football and swimming. In the preceding years the number of gradu- ating athletes have ranged from 18 to 25 with only one class even approaching the low set by the class of '42. The class of January, 1941, had but 14 athletes who were recognized by the ath- letic department. Among the reasons for this new decrease in the number of athletes, is the increase in em- ployment possibilities which turns many out- standing athletes to Work instead of sports.

Eli Avromov, a guard on the falcon football team fo-r the last three semesters, was named by the Free Press on the first all-city team and by the News and Times on their second teams. The News also gave him honorary mention on the all state team. James Rhoades, who is on the cross-country team and also a varsity indoct' and outdoor miler, placed seventh in the city two-mile meet with a timing of 10:27. According to Coach Seymour H. Brown, Rhoades would have ranked higher in the standings if he had not injured his side.

HOUSE ATHLETES Angell House took the top h on o rs of the basketball season by defeating Democracy House once with the close score of 14 to 10, and Webster twice. The score was 25 to 30 in the first game, and 34 to 19 in the second game. High scorers for the entire series were An- thony Koblinski with 15 points, followed closely by Charles Lindsey, C. Rouselle, and Ralph Scavo, who were tied at 14 points each. William Kelsaw placed third in honors for individual high scor- ing with 12 points. Loyalty House took first place in the swim- ming marathon, winning the coveted Black Cat. Portia House placed second only 67 lengths be- hind the Black Cat winners, taking firm grip on the White Elephants ear steering it to second place. Jane Addams brought up the Black Scot- tie on a leash 785 lengths behind the second place Portialites.

Yes, it does make a difference whether or not you participate in school athletics-a difference not only to you yourself but also to your school. One of the best places to get the requisites of good citizenship such as co-operation, co-ordin- ation of body and mind, self-control, initiative, leadership, dependability, and sportsmanship is on the athletic field or floor. Athletics not only make a difference in the physical structure of a person but they also affect his mental capacity and morale to a great extent. If an army's morale is low, the army is almost sure to lose every campaign until its morale has been strengthened to a very high degreeg like- wise if a school's morale is low, the school will undoubtedly lose every athletic contest in which it participates. There are many ways of build- ing morale. One of these ways is to have a strong backing for the team. In this phase of morale the person who would rather be a by- stander than an active participant is important. In proportion to the number of students now attending Northeastern, there have not been a proportionate number of athletesg therefore, we say to you underclassmen: if you are at all in- terested in athletics this department would like to have you on its different teams, so try out for one or all of the various sports offered at North- eastern. Moreover if you are not interested in participating actively in the several sports, re- member that you are needed on the sidelines to strengthen the morale of the team so that they will fight harder than ever before. It might be a little louder yell at the proper time, a word of encouragement now and then, or a larger turn- out with many more participants. These and only these improvements will spell for North- eastern-V I C T O R Y ! Mermaids Page Fifteen
