THE ORACLE 21 the end of the second halt standing 12 to 11, in favor of the Sopho- mores. The positions of the players were as follows: For the first few minutes the Sophomores were in the lead, but at the end of the first half the score stood 7 to 4 in favor of the Scrubs. Two pretty throws made by Capt. Martin raised the Scrub’s score to 11. Inthe second half the Sopho- mores played much faster and better ball, and succeeded in mak- ing four goals. The Girls’ Athletic Association has been making every attempt to secure a suitable place in which to play basket-ball during the winter. As yet no such placehas been found and probably all practice will have to be given up until milder weather. ANOTHER INTERESTING BASKET- BALL GAME. (Juniors beat picked team by a score of 15 to 13.) On Friday, Nov. 21, agoodgame of basket-ball was played between the Juniors and a picked team. The Junior team was composed of much heavier players, and from the be- ginning they were more confident ofthe result. The teams werecom- posed of the following players: When time was called at the end of the first half, the score stood 10 to 2in favor of the Juniors. The picked team did more creditable work in the second half, and raised the score to 13, leaving the Juniors 2 points ahead. The winners owed their success largely to the excellent playing of Lillian Walsh and their Captain, Helen Munro. Miss Mary Griggs, a substitute on the Junior Basket-ball Team, broke her finger while playing in a practice game against the Sopho- mores. A sprained ankle was the result of Miss Cornelia Sampson’s basket- ball playing. BATTALION NOTES. At a special meeting of the non- commissioned officers, called by the temporary ehairman, Serg. Thomp- son on Nov. 19th, it was resolved to form a uniformed company to represent the High School Battal- lion at the competitive tournament of military schools, held each spring at Madison Square Garden. The new company drills on Mon- day afternoons under the immedi- ate command of Major Murphey, who appoints a new corps of offic- ers for eaeh drill. The permanent officers will not be selected for a month to come. Major Murphey will, however, command the com- pany at the tournament. Sunrise and sunset effects at the Military Entertainment were pro- duced by an intricate electrical ma- chine, patented and manufactured by Adj. George L. Babcock. Major E. D. Murphey is ably car- rying on the Commandant’s duties during his absence. Chief Musician Thompson was,by his own request, reduced to Ser- geant, in order to gain experience in drilling, and stand a better show for promotion.
