Ail of the boys played very well, considering that this was their first year of playing on an organ- ized team Kspec ally good work was done by La Verne Johnson, the captain. Steve displayed s:gns of carrying on the lamily tradition; and both Gilbert Nuthman and John Samson did their share and promise good material for next year’s team. Their first two games with New Richmond were lost with scores of 6 to 11. Next they played twro games with the River Falls Training School, losing both of them with scores of 6 to 9 ant. 9 to 17.

Resume of Basketball Season, ,33-,34 HUDSON vs ELLSWORTH Hudson’s basketball season started off with a bang when the locals galloped over the Ellsworth aggregation to the time cf 21-18.

Johnson was high point man with a total of ten points. HUDSON vs COLFAX Coach Anderson’s cagers came out on the short end of a 22-10 score when Hudson met the far superior passing and shooting Colfax five on the local’s floor. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Humping up against a five squad in orango and black the locals took a 19-11 nosedive. New Richmond got off to an early leid which was never seriously threatened by the locals. HUDSON vs MENOMONIE Captain Strom took the lime light as Hud- son defeated Menomonie in a hard fought game on the local floor when, with but a minute or so left to play he dropped in two gift shots, followed by a short shot giving Hudson the game £3-21. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS The fast River Falls five nosed out the lo:al boys 22-17. The boys in b’ue made a fine showing again the superior hoys from the Normal town.

Baseball Baseball began as usual this year about the second week of April under the coaching of Miss Kidd. Though it was quite cold about forty hoys were out for practice. Of these, nine were lettermen who really formed the nucleus of the squad. After two weeks of practice the squad was cut to twenty-five men and the team began to take shape. At the time of this writing, the results of the games are not known, but we are looking for a most successful season. MEMBERS OF THE TEAM Pitch.—Anderson, W illiamson, Caswell, B.
