HHQSH Clallnpan regret of all. Jaffray was handicapped by inexperience and lack of weight. His passing was accurate and with a little more work he should develop into a first-class hack, for he is a natural player. Peavey Heifel- finger showed up in the Galahad game as a heady, nervy player. His tackling was a trifle shaky, but he made himself felt as a hghter. Dwin- Hell, a trifle slow at first, showed himself to be a player of merit. His opportune recovery of a blocked kick gave Blake the victory over St. Paul Academy. Bushnell and Shaw, at tackles, were new to the game. Their weight and speed, rather than their head work, made them the strength of the line. Both showed considerable promise. Waldron and L. Walker, at guards, were never conspicuous, but were reliable, hard players. W aldron was the only lineman who showed any ability in breaking through our opponents line. L. Walker was handicapped by his age, weight and lack of experience, but gave promise of exceptional ability. F. Jaffray, at center, played a remarkable game. His passes were accurate and fast. He handled his'heavier opponents headily and always held his own. On defense, back of the line, though inexperienced in that style of play, he showed his adaptability and made a strong defensive back. The substitutes were few in number. V an Doren, Savage, W. Wash- burn, Simpson, McMillan, T. Heifelfmger, Ladd and Corse were all called upon at various times to play. v Next year, with Clifford as captain, and with new and heavier material, the Blake team should show an improvement that will cause it to be reckoned with as a factor among the Minneapolis high schools and neighboring institutions.

The basketball season was short and inglorious. One victory and three defeats make up the teanfs record. However, if hard, conscientious work, and a knowledge that every point in every game was fought to the last, do not make a season a partial success, then the judge who pronounces sentence must be harsh indeed. As in football, lack of a suitable second team and of a permanent place to practice accounts for the teanfs weakness. Our home Hoor was available only at uncertain periods both for games and for practice. This was due to the fact that the Armory, whose fioor the Armory board very kindly allowed us to use, was occupied at various times with shows, and 50 on. NHWH garhi 2t nrhi lumen I'uyr fwenty-fwo
