WANT MUSICAL BASKET BALL.
Cry Goes Up From Student Body at
George Washington University.

Let US have music with our basket
ball"
This is the cry that has gone up from
the student body at George Washington
University. And as a consequence be-
fore long 1t is expected a musical pro-
gram will be sandwiched in between
the halves of all basket ball contests
in which the Geo ge Washington team
takes part. The demand of the student
is preferably for a quartet that can
render popular airs with degree of
artistry. Medical students boast two
quartets and it is possible that these
singers will volunteer to serve at the
games in a musical capacity.
The senior quartet of the Medical
School is composed of Messrs. Groes-
beck, Miller. Bowling and Common. with
Messrs. Schoenfeld, Beck and Zerbe as
substitutes. The freshman quartet is
composed of Messrs. Hayes, Lewis.
Daisy and Decker.
