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

bulkeley NEWS were on their way home, none the worse for their experience except deprived of another victory. February 3, Bulkeley defeated Hopkins Grammar School by the score of 34 to 17. Dunn and Keefe, former Bulkeley students, played on the opposing team. The first half was exceptionally fast, each team blocking and passing splendidly. But the second half the Bulkeley team took a brace. Hopkins also ran. King met with a painful accident during the game, which will necessitate his absence from the game for a short time. The line-up was as follows: Bulkeley: Daly,l.f.; Fenwick, r.f.; Prince, c.; Schwaner 1. g ; King, Murray, r. g. Hopkins: Steele, 1. f.; Sargeant, r.f.; Dunn, c.; Fleming. 1. g.; Keefe, r. g. February 10, Bulkeley defeated Bacon Academy, of Colchester, at New London, by the score of 36 to 14- Outside of the all-around playing of Bulkeley the feature of the game was the shooting of Capt. Fenwick, who caged the ball eight times. February 14, Bulkeley was defeated at Kingston, by the Kingston Agricultural School, by the score of 23 to 9. Although holding the college players to a tie in the first half they were handicapped by the size and condition of the floor. Smith, last year’s Bulkeley captain, played on the opposing team and made over half the points for his side. CHE date of the annual athletic class meet is approaching and everyone should be thinking which events he will enter. Don’t wait until the last day or for some one of your classmates to urge you, but take advantage of the three weeks use of the armory, Go down and get in shape for the respective events, and perhaps you can do more than you gave yourself credit for. This means everyone, from McLaughlin ’08 to Chapman ’06. 13
