SHEPHERD COLLEGE NOTES.
Basket Ball Season Reviewed.

After lay-off Of three weeks,
the boys team representing Shepherd
College met Saint James School on
the home floor in Shepherdstovn last
Saturday night for the closing game OF
the season. The basket ball squad
was short two men, Stanley Fulton
having completed his course at the
close OF the winter term, and Edward
johnson, not yet enrolled for the
spring, and this fact, coupled with lack
OF practice on the part Of our other
live, made US none too hopeful. New
erthelesS, the game proved as thrilling
as any during the season, since our
forwards executed many difficult shots,
and made several counters while shak-
ing of their guards. Richard Davis
did the most spectacular work, getting
ten field goals and playing his best
game of the year. Moler got Ave and
Show tied Knode with one from the
lloor An interesting feature of the
game was the exactness with which our
boys doubled the Saint James score in
each half, first l6 to 8 and then 20 TO
| 10.
Thus Shepherd College won the
closing game and the majority Of the
seasons schedule. Coach Snyder and
his men deserve no little praise for
winning 9 out Of Is games, especially
when we consider that nine of them
we're played away from home. True
this accomplishment does not at first
thought seem to equal the record made
| by our baseball team last spring, when
II won all eight games played, but base
ball is different matter. The
diamond and field are not so variable
as baseball floor, which has very
perverse way of assuming odd dimen-
sions TO the special advantage OF the
home team. Ii is probably unfortu-
nate that the rules do not call for
regulation floor which would be no
handicap to the visiting team.
Tom Reed and Richard Davis play
cd in every game Of the season, Moler
got into thirteen, Fulton twelve, Show
eleven and Johnson nine. Newton
Mckee was forced to quit after four
games, while Folk helped out in three,
Knode in two, and Waddy and Cletus
Lowe in one each.
Captain Moler was the chief point
getter for the team, making 80 baskets
from the field and tossing In As out
OF 81 attempts from the foul line.
Davis got 62 field goals, Show II, Reed
9, Fulton ), Waddy 2, Lowe 2, Folk,
Johnson and Knode one each. In his
four games, Mckee made IL from the
Held and shot S fouls out Of IA al
tempts. Show tried his hand at foul
shooting too, getting out Of 20, while
Knode put two through the ring in
l. @ attempts
The record of Reed and Fulton at
guard was unusual in that the former
made only 10 fouls in Is games and
the latter only 10 in IL games. II re-
nuirpc ctronu daterp,; otnr 80 -i..,
clean game and some skill to back il
up TO go through season in such a
manner, but il pays in loyal support
from the student body and local fol-
lowers OF the game. For some years
TO come il is safe to predict that Shcp-
herd College basketball players will
be reminded of the work Of Reed
and Fulton
This brings us to realization OF The
fact that practically the whole team
is lost by graduation this year, Moler,
Show, Reed, Fulton, Mckee and Folk
are all members OF the senior class.
Davis and Johnson have both had
some valuable experience and no
doubt next years team will have TO
be built around them, with Kenneth
Knode safe bet for one OF the vacant
positions.
