BUSINESS LOSES CHAMPIONSHIP Business lost the final and champion: ship game of the season to Ralston. The two counts registered by Ralston could easily be avoided, but the luck was against the home boys and they came through with a defeat. Rodgers was conspicuous for Business.

BASKETBALL At the call for candidates for the basketball team there were about forty- five anxious lads gathered in the gym- nasium. After a couple of weeks of preliminary work, the boys were chosen to represent the school. Sam Pratt and Mike Dupnak were the only players who were on the last years team. These two players together with some new ma'terial, bound together a formidable combination. The following boys are on the squad :-Pratt, captain, Mongillo, Backinger, YVeisman, Mazur, Dupnak, Muroski, Verret, Elwell, Thomas, Roth, Yaleh, Goldstein, Murphy, Yarcheever, and Provan. Of these boys the following will be lost by graduation: Mongillo, XVeisman, Masur, Dupnak, and Verret. Manager Ciccone, is the team manager, and he forming one of the best schedules a Business Hi team has ever had. Cap- tain Pratt, will be the only regular left on the team after graduation, but there are several other boys on the squad who have not had much experience, but who will take the place of the players who were lost by graduation. The team has made a very favorable impression in the first two games played this year by defeating Schenley and Fifth Avenue Hi's second teams.
