THE LOG for Tuley in meets. He has ably selected and assisted in every way possible, as an earnest and hard working Manager. He is a T man and has earned his T by hard and fast swimming. MAX APPELMAN has been connected with Tuleyls swimming team ever since he has been in school. It is only the semester before this that he came to the front. As a breast-stroke man we must search far to find his equal. As a carry man he is unbeatable. He has set and still hold's Tuley's head carry record: O8 3-5, only 3-5 of a second away from city record time. He and Retsky are Tuley's only swimming team T men. Max achieved his UT by placing in the city interscholastics. The swimming team and all Tuley regrets the loss of Max Appel- man due to his graduation. MEY'ER FOGAN is one of the best breast-stroke men in Tuley. He has never failed to place in a meet and has always come in with a point or so when it was needed. Besides his ability as a breast-stroke man, he also swims in the carrys. Mike is also graduating. AL COLLINET is a back stroke and crawl man of no mean ability. Always eligible-always to be depended upon. He has always been one of the upholding of the swimming team. Collinett still has another semester in which to display his ability and earned a HTH. MSIDN SHERMAN has always been one of the necessary elements of Tuley's swimming team. As a crawl man, few can compare with him. Endowed with speed and endurance he has carved out a niche for himself in Tuley's history. Sherman is only a Junior at present and so has still another year to swim for his Alma Mater. RoTHsTEIN due to his baseball activities has not been with the team as much as he once was. Rothstein is Tuley's best back stroke man and a crawl man who can be depended on to get points. ALEX Roz, tall and slender, is built well for a swimmer and his swimming shows it. In the year or more that Roz has left he will amaze his swimming contem- poraries. 'LMIKER XTETZNER is a swimmer of great versatality. Plunging is his great speciality and he can plunge across the tank with no difficulty at all. At the crawl stroke he has gained several points in the interclass meet. Vetzner still has a semester to show himself. SONKIN is the Freshman swimming marvel. High point man in the interclass meet, breaker of Tuley records he ranks with Appelman and Retsky as the schools fastest swimmers. A great deal is to be expected of Milt. FRED JOHNSON also a Freshman is a breast stroke man of ability. In the three or more years left for him to show his ability much is expected of him. Page Om' Hundred Six

THE LOG SWIMMING The past semester has been a memorable one in Tuley's swimming annals. More than one record was shattered and several tied, although only three meets were held. The semester was started by the Chicago University lnterscholastics, in which three men entered-Appelman, Retsky and Fogan. Although none placed because of bad starts and other handicaps, they all came close to making a mark. During the semester. as every semester for the last five years, an interclass swimming meet was held which. contrary to all traditions and customs. the Fresh- man won. The second time, this was due to the fact that 'cT men were not permitted to swim and so the upper classes lacked material. Sonkin. a freshman was high point man. Sonkin broke several school records and amassed an astound- ing total of points to enable his class to lead. Johnson, another frosh also scored heavily. Holstein and Greenspahn represented the juniors. Another feature of the semester was the meet with the Hi-Y. At this meet, Fogan, 'veteran breast-stroke came to the fore in his old style, and was high point man, Collinet, another veteran coming second. The meet was easily won by the school team even though many of the swimmers had not attended. To Ben Edidin, swimmer and managerg to Retsky, Captaing and to Max Appelman, veteran breast-stroke and carry man: to lVIeyer Fogan dependable breast-stroke man: to Collinett. to Yetzner, to Sherman, To Roz, to Rothstein, to Sonkin, and to johnson belong the credit for making this semester, one that will stand out in Tuley's ever brilliant swimming history. Following is an individual account of the men: BEN EDIDIN as manager has done great things. He has worked and toiled, striving to keep his men eligible, to gain meets-to run them successfully. Assist- ant Manager last semester-Manager this semester, he has really and truly de- served the T which he got. It is a pity that Ben Edidin leaves us. LOUIS RETSKY, Captain has always been a great crawl man, always scoring Page One Hurzdrfzz' Five

THE LOG TENNIS Tennis, destined to be Tuley's most notable sport, is, as this article goes to press, about to enter a season which should be the most successful in tennis annals. Captain Sam Barbakcff, Hank Rothenberg, Nlanagerg l2zy,' Kovitz, Solly Kobrin, David Misbaum, Ruby Cosnow, Wlilliam Lipschitz, Max Katz, Leonard Levite, Aaron Rosenberg and Jacob Kaplan represent the full roster of Tuleyls Tennis squad. The bulk of the strength, however, falls onto the hands of four, Capt. Barbakolf, Hank Rothenberg, I2zy Kovitz, and Solly Kobrin. Kovitz, a singles man of unlimited ability, can, no doubt, cope his strength with any prep tennis man in the city. Sam Barbakofl, another singles man, executes his work in a manner befitting to his high reputation. Upon Henry Rothenberg falls a double duty. that of player and manager. Already experienced with the squad of '26, after this year of battle he will be as good a man as can be found. Capt. Barbakoff, Kovitz and Kobrin will be lost this June by graduation. Henry Rothenberg, Nusbaum, Levite, Cos- now, Lipshitz, Rosenberg and Katz remain behind to make the squad of IQZS. This year Tuley competes in the University of Illinois Interscholastic Tennis Matches. a thing unheard of before in Tuley. VVith a few breaks in their favor and under the able guidance of the eyer helping Mr. Michael our tennis team should have by now, completed its most successful year in Chicago Tennis Circles.
