SPORTS COMMENTI~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A - - - - - - -

With Field Day practice for freshmen starting this afternoon, theclass of 1940 may yet surprise us. Its lack of spirit in FreshmanCamp aroused such a storm of unfavorable comment that it has beenstung into action; however, the turn-out tonight will tell the tale.If not fleet enough for the relay, strong and fast enough for football,or heavy enough for tug-of-war, we would advise the freshmen tostrengthen their grips in preparation for the glove fight.

:kE * * * * *

We wish to congratulate Pat Mlanning on his new post as freshmancrew coach. Pat has fifteen freshmen with former experience andmay turn out a winning crew. Seldom indeed have the freshmen woncrew race on Field Day.

LaCrosse, one of the less publicized sports, appears to be on theupgrade at Technology-when formerly, there were -scarcely enoughmen out to make up a full team. This year will see more than sevenregulars back, supplemented by the substitutes and freshmen of lastyear.

Last season, more than enough freshmen came out to allow a fresh-man team, and a full schedule was creditably carried out. Great ex-pectations are held for both the varsity and freshmen this year, whatwith the fall practice giving them added experience.

*i ·!: A*:s *

Mats are now out for those who are training for the wrestlingteam, and we have seen many candidates trailing Hediund's chargesaround the track in the hope of losing enough weight to get into theirrespective classes. This year's crop of grapplers have excellentprospects, for competition is keen for all classes but the 126 pound.Any matman in that class will be welcomed with open arms by man-ager Nich Nhelass.

Twenty-four varsity men and 10freshmnten became active candidates forthe Soccer teani last Saturday byturning out for scrimniage underCoach Goldie.

Sight members of last year's team,Captain E. A. Brittonham, 537; R. A.Dressiey, '37; W. S. Wojtczak, '37;G. B. Wemple, '37; A. C. Arino, '38;AL. Gillis, '38; J. Lindsay '38, and C.E. Ceballos, '38; remain to form thenucleus of the present squad.

The practice periods this year havebeen considerably lengthened by theaddition of floorlights to the soccerfield. The extra time afforded by thisimprovement made by the MI. I. T.A. A. greatly raises the prospects ofa first-class season.

TH-E TECH

Pat Mannin-g MadeFrosh Crew Coach

Custodian Of Tech BoathouseAfter 24 Years Rises

To Position

After spending twenty-four years incaring for and instructing Tech crews,Pat Manning has finally been officiallyrecognized and is now serving asfreshman crew coach of the Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology.

Pat Manning started his crew car-eer when, following in the footstepsof one of his brothers, he started asa boat-rigger at the Harvard boat-house. He remained at Harvard foreight years and then about 1912 hebecame custodian of the present Techboathouse, then the B. A. A. boat-house. As custodian of the boathousehe was also coach of the amateur B.A. A. crews and of an independentTech crew composed of M. I. T. stu-dents but not officially recognized bythe Institute.

In 1922 the Tech independent crewunder the direction of Mannin- wonone of the local amateur regattas andthe Institute was forced to recognizecrew as an official sport. M. I. T.then took over the boathouse from theB. A. A. which was unable to continueits upkeep, and Manning went alongwith the boathouse as an integral partof it.

For twenty-four years Manning hasbeen the official custodian of the boat-house but unofficially he has beencoach, friend, and adviser to everycrew man who has used the boat-house. He has worked under morecoaches during his stay at Harvardand Tech than he can remember byname and during that time he hasbeen able to learn the best parts ofeach of their systems, and is thus un-usually qualified for the positionwhich he has now reached-that of anofficial crew coach at the Institute. Hewas really made for the job and can-not help but make a success of it. Wewish him the best of luck.
