F BASKET BALL ln November, Father VVagner and As- sistant Coach Flack raised the curtain for the 1927-1928 basketball season. Their call for players met with a prompt re- sponse and much enthusiasm on the part of the students. The first night thirty- five men reported for practice but at the close of the week only those who show- ed exceptional basketball ability were re- tained. Now followed several weeks of intense practise for a heavy schedule with teams reported to be skilled ill basketball tactics. The result of this l training shows up nicely in the following summary of games : Nov. 30--Central 10, vs. St. Peter's, Keokuk, 25. It was a hard fight and one marked by unusually fast dribbling by Joe Heitz. Dec. O--Central 2, vs. St. Patrick's, Iowa City, 31 Close guarding by the invading team would have held the local boys score- less, had not several fouls netted them the two points garnered. Heitz and Hel- ling alone could solve the oppositioifs defense and would squeeze through only to be blocked or to miss the basket. Dec. 9-Central 8, vs. Stf Peters, Keokuk, 23 Cullen and Albers played a nice game at guard but could not stem the flow,of baskets that came in from all angles of the floor. Dec. 14--Central 29, vs. Nauvoo, I5 Tottenhoff and VVilliams played in rare form. Dec. I6-CCl1tI'Rl 14, vs. St. Marys, Muscatine, 7 Cullen and Tottenhoff starred, the former collecting three baskets and the latter gathering two. Dec. 30-Central 39, vs. Sheaffer Pen Co., I0 Ineffective passing and bad basket eyes spelled defeat for the Sheaffer club.
