HE Basket Ball season, which has been quite successful • is at an end. In every one of the games played, Bulk-eley’s team work and passing surpassed that of their opponents. The Orange and Black however showed an inability to shoot, that should be corrected in future teams. This fact was strongly illustrated in the first Windham game, for if our boys had caged even half their shots we would have won. Both of the Windham games were won by our opponents. In the first game played at Williinantic, Bulkeley’s shooting was poor. The slippery condition of the floor may have had something to do with that. Noble played the best game for the Orange and Black, while Burns starred for the victors. Score, 53-20. The second game with Windham was played at home and was a hotly fought contest. Bulkeley’s team work was excellent and the shooting, although better than that of the first game was a little off color. At the end of the first half Bulkeley lead. Score 11-9. In the second period Windham played harder, making four field and one foul goal. In the same period Bulkeley made two points on free tries. Thus Windham won the second game and the championship. Score, 18-13.

4 BUIKEIEY NEWS Then one morning it came. The mine had really proved a success. The papers boomed the stock. He sold out. That very night he fixed up his accounts and returned the money with the interest. The next morning his mother felt relieved upon seeing him so happy. Surely he was feeling better. And no one, but I, has ever learned of Fred’s narrow escape. I was praising him for his honesty, lauding him for his will power, when he told me. It all goes to prove that a man can never tell what he will do under definite circumstances until those temptations become real practical factors. Fred’s sister is now married and he and the mother are left alone to enjoy the finest love on earth. I! HE Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., which is the oldest school of engineering to be established i’n anv English speaking country, has completed a new laboratory for the departments of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at a cost of $415,000. This building was erected with part of the million dollars given by Mis. Russell Sage. It is the fourth new building erected by the Institute within the last four yea s. Many new machines have been installed in the laboratories for the tests of strength of materials, one of these having a capacity of one million, two hundred thousand pounds. Two new club houses and the athletic field which contains a baseball diamond, foot-ball field, tennis courts, and running track, are situated on the campus adjacent to the buildings and therefore easy of access for students wishing to use them.

6 BULKELEY NEWS The Academy had no regular team for B. S. to trim. However an Independent Team from the up river school was played and badly defeated. Capt. “Mickey” Shea had ample revenge on Capt. “Jack” Gallivati for the events of Nov. 20, 1909. The largest crowd of the season was present to see the “ fireworks.” Score 29-12. The second game of the series and with it the city championship was won from the Training School Team. This was a very rough and fiercely fought contest. Bulkeley had better team work and a better eye for the basket than the M. T. S. boys. At the end of the first halt the Orange and Black was ahead. The good work was kept up through the second period Training never being dangerous. Noble, Shea and McGinley were the stars of the contest. Score 34-22. Lineup and Summary Bulkeley M. T. S.

McGinley, right guard on this year’s team and a very heady player, was elected captain for 1910-1911. The Track Meet was held on March 8th for the first time in two years. It was a grand success and Manager Beebe may well be proud of his work. The student body and the faculty are also to be to thanked for their hearty co-operation. The records of the last meet were shattered beyond recognition. Noble ’10 was the star of the evening, making the most individual points, and enabling his class to win the meet.
