Even the presence of the reinstated 'fMike could not prevent the tide from sweeping up against us. rence, but the absence of effect on their line-up. We then took a weak team over to Law- two regulars seemed to have very little The encounters with Peekskill Military Academy and Flushing were very favorable to us. In the latter Curry and Mike each caged six baskets and Holman followed up with three more. The line-up for the past season was as follows: Curry, Center, Capt. Adler, Forward. Holman, Forward.

'Qi HE excellent showing of our basketball team, Rupp man- I aging, will serve as an example for this sport in Harris. li theless the team did fine work on the whole, and only 4' acknowledged defeat after a hard struggle marked by close scores The frames were well attended and much credit is due to the students for their loyalty shown in supporting the team. l fi Although the majority of the games were not won never- - -. g lYe started the season with four veterans, Capt. Curry, Michaelson, .Toffe and Bennett. Chief among the new men were Holman and Adler. The first conflict was with an old rival of ours, Hoboken, to whom we have paid tribute again and again. This season wit- nessed the same sad sight. Our boys piled up 19 points against the Alumni, in a fast game, a few days later. Erasmus forfeited their game to us and the next game with Ca- thedral College, Zd, was won only after a hard fight. Withiii the two following weeks, both Mt. Vernon and Fordham Prep. were forced to acknowledge our superiority. Mt. Vernon furnished plenty of excitement, but the Fordham boys were too far outclassed to offer much resistance. At this time we weakened and allowed Commercial to break our winning streak and defeat us by a 25 to 10 score. On January the 2nd we celebrated the New Year by defeating Commerce in our first P. S. A. L. game. Mussy Holman shared the honors of the game with his brother Nadie, of Commerce. Neither side could gain a decided advantage, as is shown by the final score of 19 to 18. The following week saw our third unsuccessful attack on the Jersey Jinx, North Plainfield came over to us and took things into their own hands. Our hopes for the P. S. A. L, Championship were jarred con- siderably when Stuyvesant defeated us by a clean-cut victory. At the end of the first half the score stood 12 to 10 in their favor, and in the second it looked as if a cyclone had struck us. In the scrimmage with Clinton on Ian. 16 we got the wrong end of a 26 to 24 score, but, when we consider the brilliant record of the Red and Black, this close score is something to be proud of. Little Kaufman was the mainstay of his team, and Capt. Curry's 14 points were a big help to US.

Struggling gamely with that characteristic Harris Lspirit against stronger and more experienced competitors, A ,our men, under the able instruction of Coach McCormick, were able to defeat seven of their nine adversaries and score a close second in the championships. The season started auspiciously by our victories over Stuyvesant, Manual and Commercial. Harris was jubilant, and all looked forward to the point trophy of the championships. But, as usual, pride came before the fall, and when we fell we landed with a thump. The Commerce and Clinton teams came, saw and conquered, leaving ruin in their wake. In spite of this, our boys took a brace and in two practice meets defeated Mount Vernon High School and the sailors from the North Dakota. In the final and most important event of the year, the championships, we took second place. Only the fast swimming of the Clinton veterans kept us from the highest honors. Both our relays took places, giving us a start off of four points. Emanuel took first in the dive, as was expected. In the fifty, Bosworth furnished Clinton's speedy captain a worthy opponent and was only beaten out for first place by a brilliant exhibition of swimming by the latter. XVade and Munson added four points to our score by taking second and third in the furlong. Our other point was scored by Manager Vermilyea in the hundred, making a total of 18 points, second to Clinton, whose am- phibians had amassed 27 points.
