Basketball History is made with every action of man. It is the aim of man to create history which will long be remembered. Some people would laugh and say, Well, the C. H. S. basket-ball team of the past season has cer- tainly accomplished the aim then, although the accomplishment is not of an enviable character, but the good, loyal supporter of C. H. S. looks at it in an entirely different light. And it is with the view of a loyal sup- porter that we look at the outcome. NVe know that it is never a disgrace to be defeated by teams that are our superiors in skill, as a majority of the teams met during this season undoubtedly were. It is proper for us to profit by the experience we may been. While we consider ourselves fortunate in receiving such a good schedule, we would suggest that a little more care should have been shown in its arrangement. We believe that we have accomplished at least one thing in the past season, and that is the development of a good foundation for next year's team. Credit should at least be given the players for the manner in which they stuck to it through numerous defeats. Five members of the squad expect to graduate this year, while four will remain. Fiala, IQI2, was elected captain of next year's team, and Robert MacKenzie, 1912, was appointed manager. have gained and prepare for other encounters LINE-UR which may be more creditable to us. price QCD ..,..-,,.,, ,,,, R .11 YYe think that one of the hardest schedules Davis .... ....

Baseball The major league ball clubs may have ad- vantage of the smaller clubs by reason of their southern training trips, but they are not much ahead of C. H. S. Although our base- ball club did not take a southern trip to get into condition, yet along in the middle of win- ter certain members could be seen getting their batting eye into condition on the Y. M. C. A. billiard table. QVV'ithout a doubt, it is ad- vantageous to read newspaper dope. j The disappointment which was our lot last season must have inspired the candidates with a determination to show every one that Can- ton High really did possess the kind of peo- ple who can do things and do them well, and certainly the manner in which practice started and progressed made this point clear. A great portion of credit is due to the energetic cap- tain who was elected by the members of last year's team. It is always the best policy to practice what you preach and in this respect it can not be said that the leader of the team Five men of last year's team returned this season, while the remainder of the team was made up of men who had some experience in athletics before. A good foundation has been laid for next year's team which should make a still more enviable record. Only three men graduate in 1911. The management should be commended for obtaining a good schedule, but more prompt- ness in getting out the season tickets would have helped to better the financial returns which are never as good as in other depart- ments of athletics.
