Although the first basket ball team

picked the squad has narrowed down
until it is quite evident who will repre-.

bright and as one of the alumni said
that the team was playing better ball
this year than last, it is evident that
things are above average as the team
last year was a fast one. The first squad
practiced nearly every morning through
vacation. During the last week some
OF the alumni helped to give the team a
