The hockey team faded out of the picture through no fault of their own. Handicapped throughout the season with a lack of ice in this North country, the sextet lost to Harvard 5-2 and lost to Princeton, in a game which had to be moved to Jungletown, by a 2-0 score. And in the finale Princeton again won by a 5-3 score.

So hail to Captain-elect James H. McHugh, and we will look forward to another season. It is to the credit of this year's team, however, that they battled Yale, Harvard and Princeton down to the bitter end before bowing before more seasoned competitors. The Harvard game in Boston was forced into overtime, and the two Princeton games were bitterly fought contests.

Capt. Dick Jackson, Jack Manchester and John Faegre all graduate this June, but a good nucleus of Roald Morton, Wilbur Powers, Hafey Arthur, Bob Bennett, Jay Wolff, and Capt. McHugh will return.

Brainy Bower will not return as coach next year, it has been announced. Brainy has been here since 1926 and has worked under the handicap of poor ice during the whole period. Some of his products have been Myles Lane, now with the Bruins Cubs, and Eddie Jeremiah of the New Haven Eagles, both in the CanadianAmerican league and two of the very few American college players in the professional game.

In the informal sports of freshman basketball and hockey, the Green yearlings lost to Harvard. The basketball score was 28-37, a heart-breaker, and the hockey score was 6-4.

The track team entered various intercollegiate meets, and the work of Bob Quimby, miler, was outstanding. Quimby nipped John Moynahan of Boston College in a whale of a race at the University Club games in Boston, turning in a 4:28 mile to do so.

As was expected, Harvard won the triangular track meet with Dartmouth and Cornell, but the Green showed unexpected strength to take second place in the games. Quimby forced the defending champion, Mangan of Cornell, to a 4:22 mile before yielding, and other Green trackmen to star were Robert Lindstrom and Stephen Woodbury, who tied for first in the high jump, and Ward Donner, who won the broad jump. The summary, in its order, follows:

The swimming team finished out its season by losing to Harvard, 49-22; winning from Bowdoin, 51-19; M.1.T., 53-18; and the Army, 37-34, in a meet which was decided by the relay race.

Over the course of the season several records were broken. W. W. Leveen broke the 220-yard freestyle record first and this was followed by two record-breaking performances in the same event by his teamate Jim Ballard, who finally lowered the time to 2:24.4. John Monagan cracked the 150-yard backstroke record at West Point, and the Green relay team twice lowered the 400-yard time. Fred Atkinson was credited with three record-breaking performances, twice in the 200-yard breaststroke and once in the 100-yard breaststroke.
