ATHLETIC HISTORY 253 Basketball On the Freshman basketball team, Sheff had an unusually large delegation, Eggie Miles, Iimmy DeAngelis, Chile Blair, Norm Larsen, lack Meehan, and Ned Wilson all winning their numerals. The Freshmen won seventeen and lost two games. In Sophomore year DeAngelis and Miles played on the Varsity, which, under Captain Bob O'Connell's leadership, went on to win the Intercollegiate championship. In Iunior year Wilson also played on the Varsity, and this year the team won third place in the lntercolle- Rip, giate League. Eggie Miles was elected captain for Senior year, as well as being selected for the All-Eastern Team, and indications point to a successful season. Blair and Larsen played on the Iayvees for three years. Ted Gardner won his numerals on the boxing team in Freshman year and in Sophomore and Iunior years was a con- sistent performer. He was elected captain of the Varsity for the '34-'35 season. C. B. D. Brown, Tom Chamberlain, Frank Harris, and Dud Morton were all Freshman swordsmen.

In Sophomore and Iunior years Miles performed ably on the courts and was elected captain for Senior year, and with a strong squad returning, the outlook for the season is very optimistic. Lacrosse Representatives of 1935 S. and E. on the Freshman Lacrosse Team were G. C. Brad- ley, N. L. Cressy, and W. B. Moses. In Sophomore year none of these made the Varsity, but in Iunior year Bradley and Moses made the Varsity and Cressy was on the Varsity squad. While the Varsity teams are in the public eye and attract the attention that is their clue, no sports history of Yale would be complete without some mention of the Col- lege teams, which are rapidly assuming a position of great impor- tance in the undergraduate World. This Inter-College competition has filled a long felt need of the Yale undergraduate and, combined with the facilities offered by the new Payne Whitney Gymnasium, enables Yale,s traditional policy of athletics for all to be magnifi- cently realized.
