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

THE BASKET BALL TEAM. 1912

HHLDH Qlallnpmt As to the team: Barnes, at captain, was the heaviest scorer. He was shifted to forward when Warner, the star of the five, was forced to withdraw because of ill health. Robertson, first at guard, then at forward, showed occasional flashes of ability, but was always nervous. He aided materially by his free throws. Clifford, at guard and then at center, was slow, but, as in football, a hard flghter and a game loser. He worked every minute during every practice and every game. Dwinnell, at guard and forward, was a consistent worker and added an occasional basket to his really excellent floor work. Frank Jaffray was a fair guard, but only had one chance to show his ability, as in most cases he played a taller 0r heavier opponent. W. Jaffray was fast on the fioor and possessed a good eye for the basket, but was handicapped by his size. Benton was slow and lacked the dash and spirit necessary to a player. J. TRACY HALE, JR.
