Basketball now reigns supreme at
Tome. and interest is at fever heat
over the series of games now being
played by the Olympian Pythian Soei-
cites, each of which have five teams in
the lists. The students are as much
excited about the inter-society strug-
giles as they are about the varsity
games. Each good play is cheered TO
the echo, and each team has its loyal
supporters.
In fact. so much interest has been
shown. that Physical Director Smith
has allowed twenty minutes of the
physical training for the watching OF
these games. So far, eight games
have been played. and the score is
very close, the Pythians having won
five and the Olympians three.
