An exciting game OF basket ball was
played Wednesday evening between our
boys and Fort Douglas. The game was

good work in the last half but were
weak In team work. The excellent
guarding Of Cragun and Berlin very
materially impeded the work OF the
soldiers. The school appreciates very
much the return Of Mr. Irvine TO his
old position on the team as his presence
seems to have added much vlgor TO the
est Of the players. He played q star
