This was not fatal, however, as all during the game he was conspicuous because of his efliec- tive guarding of the basket by jumping up and practically knocking the ball from it. Ihis jumping should give him high ideals and a broad point of view. miinuf IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIII I IIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIII IIII -I f X E E E 'E 5 E E E E E E D9 , F - - --f . 4 --L ' I' . if 'Z .

He certainly did his best to make up for the years he lost. He even got to practice early one day and astounded ex ery one. If Aubrey keeps on climbing he will surely become a president or vice president or basketball coach or some- thing. DA RRY-C1 2111 1' zum' Gmzm' Mitchell never does anything by de- grees. 'Ihe day after the last game he was found breaking training to perfec- tion by eating a great big strawberry under the baskets. XYhether this is true or not, ueryone has to look up to him- t y say too that his basketball is al- most as good as his tennis. l,-XL mow-I m z 'f Boots ney er wins the friendship of opponents-e at least during a game. lt is hard to decide whether this is due to his personality or to his apparent enjoyment in torturing the opponents by playing Button, button, who s got the button? with the ball. It must be the latter be- cause of his popularity after the game. 117' IIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIII II IIIIIII IIIIIII IIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIII IIIII Illll IIII IIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII III IIIII III

Harry is tall and angu- lar, just as a center is supposed to be, and he also has great skill at looping baskets, as an ideal center should have. BL rl.ERfG1mm' james certainly likes to get his hands on the ball, especially if it inconveniences his opponents. But to be a good guard one must enjoy this and be able to ac- complish it. Perhaps this explains why Jimmie is good at guarding. Then, too, a detour around him takes lots of time. SL' 1. 1. 1 VA N-F07'iU!ll'IZl Sully used a lot of good etfort dur- in I the season but all to no avail. Some- one had told him that he could entertain ie enemy and amuse them by hitting ie basket with the ball. This he did continually, but thc entertainment always fell through as did the ball! And so he has stopped trying to please the heartless creatures. CARY-I?01'tU1l7'l1' amz' Guam' There is a saying that one should have an avocation as well as a vocation, and this Tully did. Which was his vocation and which his avocation is hard to determineg one was guarding and the other playing forward. 'Ihc variety brought great recreation and improved his playing to such an extent that he not only could shoot at the basket but could very often score.

It very often happens that luck is against one or that play ers are out. But if there are no alibis if one plays the game hard and loses-it is not to one s discredit. By this standard which is the only true standard of a team Central s basketball team of 1925-26 rates among the best. It mattered not which way the decision fell the result was the same. Ihe team did its best. VX hen the season opened Coach Sherman had only one letter man to build a team around. However, there was plenty of raw material, and it was not long before things were in shape for the first game. Our first opponent and likewise our first victim was the St. Thomas five. The first half of the game showed the two teams about equal in strength, but the Toms had teamwork while the Tigers' game was made up of individual playing for the most part. Nevertheless, when the final whistle blew, Central had I3 points to St. Thomas 6. Austin High was the next to appear on the scene. This team was well seasoned and played together well, and before the Tigers were aware of what was happening, they were seven points behind. After the half, Central's team appeared with new energy, but still Austin gained. lfive minutes before the end, however, when the score stood 24 to I2 a late and frenzied rally started. It was too late, though, and the game ended 22 to 26. The Texas Sporting Goods team came next and the combination of both teams fur- nished the spectators with thrills. The Indians were too much for the Tigers, but they had to fight hard before they could make off with the scalp. liven in his death struggle, the Tiger caused much commotion, but the game ended with 28 to 22 in favor of the Indians. llllilllill lllil iiff llhll 'll llll lilllill llilllillillllilllliilillllillll lllllllllllllllllll lllllill Ill 1llI'JillTliTIlli1iillJililiilllIllllllI 5:5 illlllllll 'Wllllllllll Y f 5 get 5 E 2 5 2 5 5 115 31.
