lowed. Mr.. Van Tausk, the referee,

To the Freshmen Basketball Team
Class of 1918.
| Our teams some class on the whole.
They's all very good, every soul.
It shows it when we can beat them all
Juniors, Sophs, and grades at basket
ball.
| To prove this, I'll describe our won
derful team.
First, they've got a dandy little
scheme,
| When it comes to passing the ball
around.
I know a better team is hard to be
found.
/ Our c%enter's a nice fellow, with which
to start.
| He can get a tip off just like a shark
| Of course he's a Freshman, lean and
tall,
But he's our great center in basket
ball.
To our right forward there's not much
size,
But some day he might win state
prize.
When it comes to basketball, he's
right there.
Be careful We guards, better beware
Our other forward is just about thu
same.
They're both we'll on the road to fame
To him, there is more size, I do be-
lieve.
Be on the watch we guard, or We will
grieve.
One guards some player, not very
apt to fall.
Allowing his mar to have the ball
Seldom now and never then.
Oh! we've some basketball men.
Our other. guard does equally as well
How many baskets he stops is hare
l.. to tell.
