THE NUGGET Basketball HE opening of the season 1917- 1918 found B. H. S. represented on the basketball court by an en- tirely new team. Capt. Decker was the only player of last year’s squad to remain with the team. Of the three sea- sons of basketball in B. H. S. this season was the most successful. Financially the season was the most successful in that there was dancing after the games. The games, for the most part, were played in a sportsmanlike manner, and in- teresting to the large crowds that attended them. Capt. Decker, L. Rowe, Haenigsen, De- Lazier and Mgr. Falk will graduate, leav- ing R. Rowe and Fredericks on the regular team. The team lined up as follows: R. Rowe, Falk Forwards DeLazier Center Decker, Fredericks Guards The members of the second team were: Worden, L. Rowe, Haenigsen, Jacobs and Lamscha.

We hear that Leo Rowe and Sam Jacobs are going into the slight-of-hand business. The main part of their act goes something like this they come out on the stage, Sam makes a few fake passes and commands Leo to disappear, whereupon Leo quickly turns sidewise and the audience, no longer being able to see him, marvels greatly, after which Sam collects. We might also add that anyone who can sell reserved seats to a class play when there isn’t even standing room is wasting time going to school. There are two things impossible in this world. The first is for a one-armed man to hook his wife up the back and the other is to make Helen O’Reilly bust out in a lusty hilarious laugh. One glimpse of Bill Dugan’s feet is enough to convince anyone that he has most marvelous understanding. “Buns” DeLazier is going to get letters for Baseball and Basketball, but you can take it from us, they are not the only let- ters “Buns” gets. What’s that? Danger flag! Where? Oh, up there! That’s no danger flag, that’s Art Worden with his head out the window. Might we observe without running a risk with our lives, that anyone who walks behind Mr. Grimm has a long life before him. 29
