Perhaps an impression of what Mee- han has done to earn such salary as ork University has already paid him will be strengthened by a glance over the achievements of his elevens at University Heights as compared to vears before he was called thither. Of the higher grade elevens met this year, the Violet downed Rutgers, Car- negie Tech and Fordham, and was tied | by Penn State and Colgate. The team iost only to Nebraska. Last year the eleven lost only to the Cornhuskers, beating, among others, Carnegie Tech, Fordham, Rutgers and Tulane. 1In 1925, Meehan's first year, the team tied Rutgers and Columbia, and lost to Fordham and Rutgers. The year before Meehan arrived, New York lost to Fordham, 27 to 0, and Columbia, 40 to 0. In 1923 the team was beaten by Columbia, 21 to 0, and Rutgers, 7 to 3.
