Colby Basketball
Team to Play Bates
Five Friday Night

Colby College will send her first
basketball team on the floor as a var
sity team on Friday night when the
Bates five will come up from Lewiston
to play the Colby team in Waterviile.
Ever since the football season was
over there has been much agitat ION
among the students concerning an in,
door winter sport and through the
efforts Of c. Harry Edwards q sch.d-
ule has been started and several games
arranged. For several years there
have been teams such as the Colby
Comets and Hedman Hall Rovers that
have played in neighboring towns and
with preparatory schools. but these
teams could not be called varsity
teams and they did not represent tho
student body. The Colby Comets were
the most important team and they
have Gourshed for several years with
out break. being made UP entirely
of Colby men. This team has now
changed It's name to the Portland
Comets because the authorities or
Colby College did not wish to have the
men in athletics who did not folloW
the general rules Of eligibility that
the college follows. such as scholastic
standing or the one-year rule that now
prevails in all the Maine colleges and
prevents transfer from playing unit!
he has been at the college for year.
a short time ago a plan was adopt
ed for an interfraternity tournament
to promote interest in basketball and
10 give the coach chance to see how
much material there was in Colby for
a varsity team. The series OF games
started last Tuesday and on that day
the Phi Delta Theta aggregation won
from the Delta Kappa Epsilon team by
a score of AZ to g. and the 4. T. o.
men won from the ri Delta This As
to /.
The first practice was held last
night and enough men turned out to
make two teams. Among the most
promising prospects are Merle Low
cry, Colby's football captain last fall.
Lowery has played on the Comets and
he has also been on the varsity foot
ball squad for the past four years.
Lowery is one of the players of the
Phi Delt interfraternlty team. Hill
ton Hanes and Robert Thompson
showed up well. This is the first year
for both of these men at Colby but
they have played on their respective
high school teams. Thompson comes
to Colby from Stratford. CT, where he
held considerable reputation as a Sec
ond baseman on the high school nine.
These men are also members of tine
Phi Delt team. Williams of the Alpha
Tau Omega team showed the rest of
them that he was going after a place
on the varsity team. Williams is one
of Colby's best all-round athletes. Las:
year he captained the varsity cross
country team and next spring he will
lead the college baseball nine, This
will be the fourth season that Will
liams has held down the position IF
left field.
Arrangements are being made with
Maine for two games, one played ir
Waterville and the other in Orono. and
q return game is expected with Bates.
