Crimson Reviews Records of All University Athletics for 1929-30

BASKETBALL

For the third consecutive time Yale wrested the basketball title away from a Crimson quintet last winter. In the past season Harvard played 13 games of which nine were won and four were lost. The Crimson lost to Columbia, Pennsylvania, Holy Cross, and Yale. The Yale game played at New Haven was won by the Elis by the score of 38 to 14.

Coach Wachter called the 1930 quintet the best-balanced that he has ever coached at Harvard. It was a light team but a fast one.

FENCING

Yale and West Point were the only antagonists to be victorious over last winter's fencing team. The Harvard foilsmen fought six matches in the 1930 schedule and won four, beating M. I. T., New York University, Pennsylvania, and Columbia. Weakness in the foils matches proved fatal in the Yale contest. In the epee and sabre, the two teams broke even.

The 1930 team is the first team in over a decade that has not been coached by Monsieur Danguy, who was forced to resign because of ill health. Coach Peroy succeeded Monsieur Danguy.

WRESTLING

Harvard had one of its most successful wrestling seasons in several years this winter. In eight matches, the Crimson grapplers won six, tied one, and lost one. The single match lost was to Tech in the first contest of the year. In the latter part of December, Columbia managed to hold the Crimson to a 16 to 16 tie.

Harvard's greatest strength lay in its heavy-weight events. Captain Nathaniel Warner '30 went through the year undefeated in the unlimited division. In eight matches J. F. Solano '30 won with eight falls in the 165-pound class, while C. D. Newhart '31, the Crimson 175-pounder, won five falls and two decisions in seven bouts.

SOCCER

Six Sophomores who came up to the University soccer team last fall filled the many gaps left by graduation. The team played a season of 11 games of which they won seven, lost two, and tied two.

LACROSSE

Although this year's lacrosse team took a trouncing from Yale, 7 to 0, it had a successful season in many respects. Only four games of a total of 14 were lost, to Cornell, Oxford-Cambridge, Navy, and Yale. J. P. Faude '31, stellar defense man on the Crimson twelve was selected for the All-American Intercollegiate lacrosse team.

SQUASH

Team A of the University squash squad finished the season with six wins and four losses; Team B won five and lost two; Team C won nine and lost five.

POLO

The polo season was particularly unsuccessful, consisting of ten defeats out of ten starts in indoor polo. This spring there were only two regularly scheduled games and the four lost both. The defeat at the hands of Army last Saturday means that the intercollegiate cup leaves Harvard.

GOLF

The golf team lost only two out of thirteen matches played during the spring. The Yale team won a close fought match, 5 to 4; while Princeton defeated the Crimson players, 3 to 1
