Joasllis Coach John Todd called practice for the I930- ' 3I basketball squad the first of December. The material was good and the spirit unexcelled. The first string men consisted of the Banks brothers — Lett, Lawson, Oliver, L. Todd, Byrd, Casagrande and Meadows. The remaining players did well in the pinches. The team broke about e en in the won and lost column. The team work and spirit of the team throughout the season could not have been better. The boys had a great time when they motored to Washington, and from hearing them talk we think they played a portion of Arlington Hall. luch credit should go to the Junior Varsity for whipping the varsity into shape. We all thank Coach Todd for the good team he developed. i8S =
