But constant practice developed excellent team Work, and so the weight was not such a serious han- dicap as might otherwise he expected. The Juniors finished the season with a remarkable record and are the rightful champions of Buffalo at 85-90 pounds, 51

A review of the seasonls work discloses the singular fact that the guards, Baynor 'and Snyder, did an unusual amount of the scoring. Besides playing their guard positio-ns in faultless style, they were extremely adept in 'working the hall down the field, and when within distance of their own goal either one was generally there to successfull finish the play. One of the most ini- portant factors in the fast, accurate and scientific team work of the Juniors was the all-aro-und ability of Neumer. Alwavs in the game, speedy and aggressive, cool and heady, he was to be depended upon in every play, and his work all over the field was little short of marvelous.. Captain Metzger was particularly strong in caging the hall, hut his share in the team work and good judgment in directing the plays also made his services an important part of the whole. Although Martin at center was handicapped at iirst hy a lack of practice and experience, his later work proved that his selection was well justified. As utility guard Short played a hard, fast game and in emergencies kept the team up to i-ts original standard. The Junior division evidently has a penchant for developing good basket- lmall teams and this review of the men Who composed the S1906-07 souad proves their right to a high niche in the H all of Junior Athletic Fame.
