Much credit must be given Bryan
Morse for the splendid quint turned
out at Western this season. Morse has
built up team from a bunch of green
men. Les Pcine. one of its star for
wards. is the only man who started the
season with fair experience. but the
" hole five has been going like a bunch
of veterans of late. 1t is true that
Morse had two or three men left over
from last year. but it must be remem-
bcrcd that the record made by West
ern this year has been extraordinary
Western has won more than twenty
games and lost but four. Morse has
developed team that for all-around
teamwork and general play is more
capable than any other scholasti

goes the position. Tormey is one of the
best players who have been seen around
these parts in many years.
Coming from the North, Tormey plays
the same style of game. and practically
made the Georgetown quint such formi-
iable contcnders. For a big fellow. he
is fast and quick on his feet being able
to dribbIe the ball the length OF the
floor through an opposing team. In a
defensive line Tormey has few equals.
He Is the best defensive player in this
neck of the woods, and. as for caging
the ball. his shots are long ones. that is
true. but he is always capable of getting
the ball out of the danger zone and
somewhere near his basket.

TEAM IS A FAST ONE
BY FRANK COLLEY,

The picking of an An-Star Atlantic
basketball team for the season just
closed is by no means an easy job. owing
to the many players of ability enrolled
on the different college teams
Taking the players one by one. with a
careful glance at their work during the
sea son. it will he hard to find a more
capa BILE team than the one selected. or
course a few will have to be sighted.
and they are the ones on the Naval
Academy team and the Y. NJ. {. A.
Owing to the fact that the Navy does
not play away from home. the writer
cannot pick any of the Navy lads on that
account. for it would hardly be fair TO
the others.
In picking the team the writer has
selected the men who played in most all
OF the games and the ones who showed
they were worthy Of a position on such
a team. Their work throughout the sea
son was such that would entitle them
TO position on any all-star quint. ana
for that reason they have been selected.
The forwards-White of Catholic Uni
versity. and Almon. OF George Washing
ton-have been chosen. The former, a
steady. heady player, has showed more
stuff during the past season than any
forward on any other Guint. lie alons
has won more games for Catholic Uni
versity by his ability to cage the ball
from the foul line. and in this respect he
outclasses all other tosscrs IN this sec

the Southern lads would have gotten
away with the long end of the score.
At caging the ball Cartwright is
as clever as they come. He makes long
shots and he does not use the bank

men in guard position fill out the
quint and it is as formidable a quint
as one could pick.

INTELLECTUALLY IN VERMONT.

There are those who sing of the fairy.
land in southern climate; there arc
those who descant on the glories of the
winter months on the Pacific coast; there
are those who can see no enjoyment ex-
cept when sweltering in tropic tenn
perature; and occasionally there be those
who appreciate to the fullest extent the
wonders of nature in northern climate
like that of Vermont in id-February.
The last-named group are delighted by
no sight of Towering plants in full bloom,
they see no golden -burdened fruit trees,
they may even cling to the winter nan-
nels closer than to brother; yet there
is joy in living for them as they step
forth from their homes on crisp Feb
ruary morning, with the mercury hover
ing around the zero mark. The air is as
clear as a rare crystal, as pure as though
