BULKELEY NEWS after this year’s meets, and place it some where in the school building.

OW many of the undergraduates of Bulkeley know that we have any track records? In the “olden days” of the last century, between the years 1893 and 97 several fellows from the school held athletic meets at Poquonock. It was during this period that almost all of the school records were made. Since that time there has been two school meets at the armory, in '02 and 05. In the first of these contests the only record which was kept was the one for the eight lap relay, but the time in the ’05 meet was about seven seconds faster, consequently it does not stand as a record. In the ’05 meet the 12 pound shot put was also beaten, and a record for the 35 yard dash was established. Now wouldn’t it be a good idea for the athletic committee to put all the school records on a shield, of course 10

BULKELEY NEWS BASKET-BALL S the basket-ball season is drawing to a close let us review briefly the work done by the team, both financially and athletically. The team had a good start in the arrangement of an excellent schedule. During the season it has contested with some of the fastest amateur teams in the state, including Windham High, Storrs, Middletown High, and Hopkins Grammar School. To date the team has lost only twice, to Storrs and Middletown High. The financial success is based on the fact that at every game, except two, the hall was crowded to standing room. January 15, Middletown High School defeated Bulkeley at New London, by the score 22 to 10. A large crowd of “rooters” was present to cheer Bulkeley to victory, but the inevitable happened, and when the smoke cleared away the black and orange held the short end of the stick. It was a hard fought contest and a defeat which the Bulkeley boys should not be ashamed of. The line-up was as follows: Bulkeley: Daly, 1. f.; Fenwick, capt. r. f.; Prince, c.; King, 1. g.; Schwaner, r. g. Middletown High: Colosson, capt. 1. f.; Davis, r. f.; Haywood, c.; Gildersleeve, 1. g.; Crowell, r. g. January 27, Bulkeley visited Blackhall, prepared to repeat the dose which they had already administered to the team of that school, in New London. Taking advantage of the privilege of a visiting team Mgr. King brought a referee along, but the Blackhall captain would not allow the Bulkeley referee to officiate under any circumstances. The result was, that on the next train the Bulkeley players 12
