Junior Varsify Baseball 5, 6 The greaf ancienl' philosopher, Wing Foo, once said, Tell me a man's ambiiion and l will describe ihe man. We liked ihis siaiemenl for fhe omniscieni feeling which if gave us and decided io 'lry il' on Warren. We knew ihal' he infends +o be an engineer and on fha? basis we recons+ruc+ed him. Comparing our resuli wiih fhe original, we found 'I'ha+ he is working hard foward his aim. He gels good marks and doesn f deviafe much from his purpose. His special inieresis, as we predicfed, are mafh and science. He also likes jazz, sfamps, and bridge.

He is self-effacing lo a degree unwarranled in one wi+h his lalenfs, for Ed is an arfisf. He uses his arl' on every occasion wiih equal feliciiy. When noi' illuslrafing fhe Riverdalian or issuing piciuresque appeals for our charifies, he does murals or minialures or waiercolors of broken-down wharves. He is a+ his besl' in fragmeniary impressions of a 'foofball game or a Town Hall Concerf.

He has, neveriheless, a capaciiy for work, as he shows by spending good Saiurday affernoons af home working on hisfory maps due far in ad- vance. Wiih +his unusual makeup, Ed passes on lo Columbia.

Nofhing 'lroubles Earl, and no maffer where he may be, nor no maffer whaf he may do, you can be sure he is enioying him- self. Because he has been af Riverdale for only one year, and because he has a nafurally reficenf manner, many fellows have missed fhe oppor- funify of becoming a friend of Earl.

As we look back upon 'lhe aclivilies and accomplishmenls of The Glee Club during The year beginning Seplember, I937, wc find il dililiicull' lo believe 'rhal' all has been done in a single school year. The Club gave more concerls Than any olher Riverdale Glee Club has ever given in 'rhe pasl. The Club did more lhings and visiled more places lhan ever before. Bur bes+ of all, fha Club has been regarded by lhose associaled wiih Riverdale as lhe besi- sounding Riverdale Glee Club ihal ever lried a conduc'l'or's 'l'emper. Under +he friendly ba+on of David Secular, +he Club became more sensilive +o small musical lechnicalifies. This helped greally +o give conlrol of volume, clear enuncialion, sharp allacks and releases. Mr. Scoular deserves no end of commendalion for lhe unliring work he has done 'ro bring 'rhe group info prominence. The respecl which every member of lhe Club holds for Mr. Scoular makes aHen+ion essen'l'iaI, and learning lhe songs a real ioy. No boy of The Glee Club is in a posilion fo say 'rhal' he did noi have a greal rime in iusr being a member. We opened our concerl year as usual a+ Har+Iey House, where we were received wilh grea+ pleasure and apprecialion. A+ The Bowery Y. M. C.

These confribuiions are collecied by ihe sociefy on a given day of each week. Anoiher source of income is +he candy siore. Candy sales proved highly profifable during ihe pasl' year. Also for ihe second year in succession, fhe Red Cross drive ai' Riverdale neH'ed over 1'wo hundred dollars, wiih every boy ioining for ihe year l938. One hundred dollars was given ihis year io fhe Hundred Neediesi' Cases of +he New York Times, fiffy dol- lars +o Harfley House, and iwenfy-five dollars +o ihe Madison Boys' Club.

New coaches, new opponenrs, new players, and enrirely new sysfems have come and gone in ihis shor+ space of rime. ln faci, lhere have been +hree differenr coaches, all exponen+s of diversified fheories, in fhe pas? fhree seasons. No one who played varsiry foolball even so shorl' a 'lime ago as 'lwo years gol his leHer lasl fall. No wonder Riverdale didn'+ have a banner season fhis year. If disgrunlled alumni holler, fire 'rhe coach every season, ii is more fhan likely fha? 'ihere will be more poor seasons. Each succeeding coach has a sword of Damocles over his head when he underlakes 'ro build a winning unii' in +hree monihs-if +akes 'lhe besi coaches years. Riverdale los+ all six games las? fall and scored only fwelve poinis during +he eniire season. Of course, iniuries +0 'rheir srar players were a handicap ihroughour +he season. ln fhe opening game of ihe schedule al Newark Academy, Ber+ Mac- donald, a brillianr back, was los+ for +he enrire season when he dislocared his knee. This was +he mos+ srunning blow, since ihe whole offense was cenfered around rhis Scorch lad. Bur he wasn'+ rhe only casually.

On looking back over fhis pasf season, we cannof help feeling fhaf fhe baskefball feam has been successful. Even fhough 'rhe feam's record of seven games won and seven los'I' does nof seem fo indicafe if, Coaches Praff and Drewes have produced a beHer balanced quinfef fhan has played for Riverdale in some fime. Much of fhe feam's success was due fo fhe remarkable playing of Capfain Vic Berni and Earl Mellor, fhe Red and Gray sfar forwards. Mellor was fhe high scorer of fhe feam, his average of fhirfeen poinfs per game showing how deadly a shof he was from all parfs of fhe courf. If was Berni, however, who was 'Ihe more aggressive of fhe fwo, fighfing all fhe way in every game, shining on defense as well as offense and averaging fwelve poinfs per game. The cenfer slof was filled by Bill Bolfon, who played a fine defensive game as well as averaging eighf poinfs on fhe offense. Arf Range and Berf Kiersfead were fhe fwo guards. Range always puf up a 'Fine figh+ in refrieving fhe ball off fhe backboard, while fhe long sef shofs were Ieff fo Kiersfead. Credif musf also be given fo Glenn Degener for his good performance af cenfer as well as af forward. One of fhe finesf vicfories for fhe Praff men was fheir defeaf of Poly Prep, fhis being fhe firsf fime in fhe hisfory of fhe school fhaf fhis frick has been furned. Anofher safisfying vicfory was fheir conquering fhe Scarsdale feam, which usually furns fhe fables on fhe Red and Gray. As we consider our defeafs, fhere is no quesfion fhaf we should have faken Pawling as well as Morrisfown. In fhe Pawling game our guards couIdn'f seem fo gef fhe ball wifhin shoofing disfance. Also, Berni, fhe key man on fhe offense, iniured his hand, hampering his playing and fhus handicapping fhe whole Riverdale affack. Reviewing fhe Morrisfown game, we discover fhaf our feam had encounfered Dwighf iusf fwo days before, and was below par as a resulf of fhaf fedious sfruggle. The League games furned ouf very well as we won all wifh one excepfion, fhe varsify game wifh Hackley. No excuse for fhis defeaf can be offered, however, excepf fhaf Bolfon was absenf, and fhus fhe defense was weakened. Degener deserves much credif for fhe way he played, offen breaking up plays coming fhrough fhe cenfer. In fhe 'Iwo varsify games Berni sfarred, being fhe high poinf maker as well as keeping up fhe feam's spirif. This year's second feam was probably fhe besf fhaf has ever been produced in our school, wifh such capable players as Bob Sfephenson, Phil Waffers, Chuck Sufherland, Rod Kennedy, Charlie Duveen, and Bob Sfewarf. Sfewarf, incidenfally, played fine ball for fhe varsify in fheir final encounfer wifh Lincoln, indicafing 'Ihaf he will probably be a regular nexf year. In fheir League compefifion fhe Riverdale ouffif smofhered bofh Sform King and Hackley in one-sided games. The fhird feam also deserves praise for ifs fine showing, and if has promising players for fufure varsify feams.

A. P. S., going un- defeafed in fhe preliminary round, and winning fhe finals from Sf. John's Prep 5-2. Of fhe boarding school group, Hoplcins and Choafe fell before us, buf Valley Forge again proved a fracfion foo sfrong, winning by one fouch in fhe final bouf. Wesfchesfer fencing, wifh fhe excepfion of New Rochelle, was foo far below our class fo be seriously considered. New Rochelle had a powerful foil combinafion, buf fhaf proved unavailing againsf our superior sfrengfh in fhe ofher fwo weapons, epee and saber. Riverdale downed Yale, Columbia, and Darfmoufh fencers in fhe freshmen division. This in ifself is no mean feaf, since fhe Yale freshmen were considered very sfrong and Darf- moufh was coached by a Riverdale alumnus, Graffon Burlce. ln evenfs of Nafional scope, Riverdale was surprisingly successful. Weil and Lang fenced in fhe novice, fhe laffer reaching fhe semi-finals. Our saber feam of Reynolds, Smifh, and Lang made a good showing againsf very powerful opposifion. The individual records are equally oufsfanding. Capfain Weil, who is mosf brillianf when fhe going is foughesf, fook fhree sfraighf in foil af New Rochelle, Yale and Valley Forge, and also defeafed fhe Pennsylvania open epee champion, 2-0.

Lang was a semi-finalisl in Ihe Nafional Novice, firsf in Ihe Junior Foil Invilalional, undefealed in sabers in dual meels, and had Ihe second highesl percenlage on Ihe Ieam. Joe Smilh was Ihe mosl consislenl saber man on Ihe Ieam, being undefealed a'I Columbia, New Rochelle, Hopkins, and Choale. He also defealed Hennessey, Yale's ex-varsiiy caplain.

This doubles march was finished in almosi 'roral darkness, Carey Ellis and Roland Jacobson defearing Longman and Mifchell of Poly Prep by a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-I. Then came +he greal news +ha+ Riverdale had won! This was lhe firsi lime in 'the hisfory of 'rhe school +ha+ a Riverdale Tennis leam had de'Fea+ed Poly Prep. Now, wi+h prospec+s brighl for an unusually successful season, 'rhe feam prac- liced wi+h renewed vigor, wi+h 'lhe resuli' +ha1 if swamped Hopkins Grammar by a score of 6-I. Meeling Trini'ry in 'lhe nexl march, +he 'ream found ilself in an unusual sifuarion. Alfhough a conlraci called for a 3 and 2 ma+ch, lhe coaches of +he respecfive feams agreed beforehand lo play five singles and 'Iwo doubles mafches. On +his basis, Riverdale won 4 +o 3, buf, because of The con+rac+, 'rhe official score was lisled as a 3 +0 2 win 'For Trinily. ln fhe annual A. A. P. S. championships, Riverdale was represen+ed by Vic Berni and Roland Jacobson in +he singles, and Bill Bolron and John Gooding in lhe doubles. Vic Berni reached fhe semi-finals--'rhe furfhesl' 'rha'r a Riverdale enfranf has ever progressed in +he singles. Bill Bollon again reached fhe doubles finals for fhe second successive year, las+ year wilh Vic Berni, +his year wilh John Gooding as his parfner. The mosf difficuli' malch remaining is 'rhal' wifh Horace Mann, bul' 'rhe 'I'eam will go info i'r wi+h a deferminalion +o avenge lasf year's selbaclc. There is no doub+ 'rhaf Mr. Hendriclc's coaching played a greaf par+ in ihe +eam's success, and we hope +ha+ nex+ year's feam will enjoy fhe advanfage of his helpful cri+icism and advice.

TRACK....... Under ihe capable iuielage of fhe fwo new 'rrack coaches, Mr. Olson and Mr. Talco'H, a zealous group of speedslers has been coached in+o an exceedingly fine ieam. The loss of lasi' year's slar, Don Kennedy, caused many +o ihink 'thai 'ihis would be a fulile year: however, +he en+husiasm of fhe coaches, coupled wi+h +he appearance of anoiher Kennedy, Roderick, soon made even +he worsi skepiics see lhai fhis could be a good year. For fhe firs+ 'rime in school his+ory a win+er 'irack ieam was formed which prac- ficed and compeied on +he new Drewes Track. This ieam defeaied ManhaHan Prep., 50-24, in a close meeh ihen, weakened by iniuries, ii losi +o Horace Mann, 38-20. Wiih fhis early s+ar+ 'ihe spring ieam worked hard and soon developed inlo excelleni condiiion. A mile relay 'ieam was senr +o Philadelphia for +he Penn Relays, where ihey ran a commendable race againsi superior opponenfs. The Team won iis firsi 'rwo meeis againsi Leake and WaH's and Hopkins Grammar by scores of 5I-44 and 57-38 respec+ively. Then a sirong Scarsdale 'ream defea+ed ihe Red and Gray 58lf2-36V2 in spiie of +he la'Her sweeping ihe disiance races. Excepi for 'ihe field evenis, where Kennedy is +he mainsiay, 'rhe ieam is re- markably well balanced, especially in fhe disfances, where Al Reynolds, Andy Wes+, Burf Kiersiead, and Charlie Wiley hold ihemselves well againsi all rivals. The prospec+s for nexi year are very favorable, since mos+ of ihe leam will refurn. If 'ihe zeal ihai was shown 'ihis year coniinues, +he coaches may expeci a hard- working group +ha+ may look forward opiimisiically 'io 'rhe I939 season. Rosenblaff, B. Spencer, Kidd, Gladding, Nichols, Bissell, Sfaehle, Mr. Willenbrock, coach. SWIMMING ........ Because of ihe lack of a school pool, aHemp+s +o build up good swimming 'reams in rhe pasf usually proved fulile. Riverdale swimmers used +o be jokingly re- ferred 'ro as +he Poolless Wonders, and nofhing a+ all was expecfed of lhem. This year, rhanks +o +he inreresi and coaching abili+ies of Messrs. Willenbrock and ScoH, The ieam surprised and delighfed 'lhe enrire school. Alihough fhe ream had only fwo oppor+uni+ies a week in which 'lo pracfice, if won 'rwo mee+s decisively. The 'Firsl' of lhese vicrories was recorded a+ +he expense of 'rhe McBurney J. V. Led by versafile Cap+ain Gladding, +he 'leam scored an easy 33-I5 viclory, and rhe school suddenly realized +ha+ i'I' acfually had a swimming leam. Showing lhar Hs firsi' vicfory had noi been a fluke, +he feam +hen proceeded fo swamp Fieldslon, in +he laHer's pool, by a score of 38-23. No+able vicfories in 'rhis mee+ were scored by Cap+ain Gladding, in lhe fi'F+y-yard free-sfylep Graham Pelers, in ihe breas'r-s+roke, and by Pe'I'er Nichols, in lhe long dislance evenf. Nexf year, no+wi+hs+anding 'rhe facr Thai' 'ihe firsr five men will graduafe +his June, +he remainder of +he ream hopes 'I'o have more mee+s and daily praciice. Surely +ha+ is noi' foo much +o ask affer such a fine showing. There is no doubi bu+ ihai Mr. Willenbrock and fhe ream deserve greaf praise for iheir greai' work.
