Horstman Manager James Westford Cutler Assistant Manager THE 1922 SEASON Although handicapped by a late beginning. Soccer made a good showing at college last fall. By the number of men that turned out it was very apparent that much material was available for a squad. With only a few men who knew the game from former experience as a nucleus. Coach Tilly was able to train a team that made a creditable showing against Clan MacRae here on November 18th. In its first game of the season the Union squad was able to hold this veteran team to the low score of four to two. The next game was with the Burns Club of Troy. It was necessary, however, to fill out their ranks with men from our own squad, and their opposition, therefore, was not as strong as it would regularly have been. The Union team was successful with a score of 8 to 4. Two more games were scheduled, but unsatisfactory weather made necessary their cancellation. Soccer is coming to be a very popular sport among colleges, and with the interest shown in Union it should become a Minor Sport soon and enter into competition with the neighboring colleges.

I jFrrabman HaakrtbaU The Garnet Freshman basketball team completed a very successful season, winning five out of seven games. There were originally ten games on the schedule but three were cancelled. The beginning of the season found a very strong team composed of stars of various prep and high schools. Makofski, Fink, and Skane were shifted to the varsity squad at the beginning of the second semester thus leaving the Freshman team in a badly crippled condition. Under the supervision and untiring efforts of Coach Hal Wittner a new team was built up with Cassedy, Crocker and Ripton as a nucleus. This new outfit proved itself a very hard working outfit, winning a decisive victory over Glens Falls Academy and being defeated by St. John’s school at Manlius, N. Y. by only one point. Crocker and Ripton were the stars of the new Freshman team. Both played forward positions and showed a very good knowledge of the game. Mention should also be made of Gilligan, who held down the guard position, for his consistent playing. Makofski was the high scorer for the Freshmen, having nine field goals and thirty-five fouls to his credit. He played in only three games. Ripton was second with nine field goals and twenty-five fouls, followed by Crocker with sixteen field goals and one foul. In all the first year men scored 206 points against their opponents 153.

Michler Bishop Assistant Manager THE 1923 SEASON Hockey first existed at Union in the winter of 1919-1920, but it was not very successful because of difficulties in getting a good rink. However, a team was organized and a few games were played, including one intercollegiate con- test with Hamilton. The other games w r ere with local teams. The winter of 1921-1922 saw a revival of the sport when a few enthusiasts organized an informal team. Union finished third in the series of games played with five other local teams to decide the city championship. In the past winter more progress w r as made and the Athletic Board built a rink on the campus. The support given, although comparatively small, was enough to make possible the formation of a fairly good team. The Schenectady Gazette cup w r as won by Union in the Annual Winter Carnival hockey tourna- ment. Two games played with the Wanderers, a team composed of the best ama- teurs in the city, resulted in victoi ' ies for Union. A game was lost to the Albany Countrv Club.
