A, , Q W y If 'f sit We si A 'fl ester's aquatic encounters. The squad which survived last season's O l ? sl i I. ,N I P. S. A. L. tournament was unusually strong. Under the expert tutoring of Coach McCormick it has developed into quite a cham- pionship aggregation. The star century men were Johnny Nolan and Sol Shaub. The fifty- yard free style berths were ably filled by Kolodney and Kaufman. Boyd, who was unable to swim in the two-twenty, his former forte, because of a recent operation, was the star breast stroker. Houck and Mayer were the Harris representatives in the backstroke. The relay quintet was the team's surest point scorer. It consisted of Ash, Captain Fredericks, Kolodney and Boyd. The divers, Meltzer and Morris, showed a marked improvement and should garner quite a few points in next season's meets. Hiller and Aronson swam the two-twenty. V Although the Freshman swimming team, which in former terms was the proving ground of Varsity prospects, was discontinued this semester, it was satisfactorily replaced by the Interclass Swimming Meet. In spite of the fact that this term's intra-mural water carnival was not as successful as might have been expected, quite a few men were uncovered who were of Varsity calibre. 4 7' f X , 1 I i Y- .3 0 'V is-Sz il ll fa Page One Hundred Sevenzeen

1 n 13, fi S PW, iv-9 ' f 1 if till BASEBALL GQ! X9 N VIEW of the fact that every postion on the baseball team was vacant 15. before the season started, Captain Levin in spite of his discouraging S? lack of veterans, has undoubtedly turned out an excellent nine. The ball-tossers' first non-P. S, A. L. season in many years stimulated the iv' 'Tyr squad to an admirable display of superb playing. Aside from the few games lost because of ineligibility and other like plagues, the season was rather successful. The boxmen were usually adept this term. Feingold was the stellar right-hander and Goldstein, the southpaw. Grossman proved capable in the position of relief hurler. Due to Captain Levin's incapacitation, Brown per- formed behind the bat for the majority of contests. ' Feldman, playing his second season at first base, turned in consistently fine performances. Neville, the keystone sacker, filled his position capably. Kellner, at short, was one of the team's bright lights, hitting and helding un- usually well. The hot corner was held down by Hawkins, who handled it creditably. The outfield was of good calibre. O'Dea, Petz, and Spertell hit the ball hard and fielded nicely. The outstanding reserves and squad members were Traus, Lilley, Ash, Block and Gerken. K The credit for the coaching and managing of the team belongs to Levin, Donnelly, and Boriss.
