rison had blown the whistle. He tried to shoot baskets until someone yelled out, “Throw the ball to the referee.” The features of the game were the basket shooting of Coach Evans, who accidentally made all the points for the Faculty, and the sensational refereeing of Mr. Harrison, when the coach persisted in helping to call all the fouls every time the ball went up between two men. For Coach Evans was very fond of shooting baskets from the foul line. All this nerve-racking, heroic effort on the part of Coach Evans, however, brought the Faculty home victorious, with the score standing eight to seven when the time-keeper, for the last time, blew his whistle. The Varsity, feeling somewhat grieved over the outcome of the game, insisted upon a return match with the Faculty, but owing to the fear of being defeated and consequently destroying their average of 1,000 per cent, they refused to grant the Varsity team a return game. Thus ended one of the most important games of the season, one never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. ANDREW R. KOLLER. 1912. Atljlrtic Association ATHLETIC activities at Commerce were well supported during the year. The suits and necessary furnishings for the teams were bought by the Athletic Association, with the money raised from the sale of buttons and tags. This year a better way of raising money, and having a good pin. was discovered, in which each member paid fifty eents for a silver pin, as a receipt of membership fees for four years.

Base Ball Saar Sail OWING to financial conditions base ball was not favored at first, but the boys preferred base ball to track, and as a result in 1911 Commerce had a base ball team. With but three veterans back, namely, Captain Crebbin, Smith and Leopold, Coach Evans built a team. Many candidates responded to the call for players, but the long distance to Edgewater Park, where the team practiced, and the brief time available after school were the main factors in the failure to build up a winning team. As the prospects for a winning team at Commerce this year were slight, Coach Evans advised against base ball during the 1912 season. Safip Sail rl??duU Date, 1911. April 22 H. April 29 H. May 6 H.
