Qzniur Eihisiun ?3as4kethaII league A The Senior Division Basketball League Was not the success this season that it was last. After it had been fairly started it was seen that the six teams were not very Well matched. This, together With. the fact that it co-uld be foreseen in what place each would very probably finish, caused interest to die out. Few games were played and the organization came to a standstill. - Yllhen the new Athletic Association officers came into oflice they disbanded these teams and launched the Academic League. This was composed of 'teams from each of the Academic classes, on which all boarders, not members of the 7Varsity or Reserves, were permitted to play. Thisventure resulted better 'than had been expected. The contests were hard fought and close, interest ran high throughout, and there was a lively fight for the topmost position between I and TV, the former Winning out bv one game. Because of the late beginning only eighteen games were played. Standing and rosters of the teams follow: A W on. Lost.

But constant practice developed excellent team Work, and so the weight was not such a serious han- dicap as might otherwise he expected.
