lllrlfrlllalt. .., H H BHSKET BELL TEHfTl The Ben Davis Second team consisting of practically all new recruits, completed a very successful season this year. The team got a bad start at the beginning of the season, but towards the end was showing more improvement. we believe, than any other second team in late years. Although the team did not win fifty per cent of its games. winning seven and losing thirteen it was rapidly improving. From fifteen to twenty men were carried throughout the season. thus giving more boys a chance to show their worth. Most of the squad will be back next year, and Mr. Haviland, the coach, claims that any Five will give the Varsity a good game. FRESl-llTlFllW BHSKETBFHLI.
