Fey. Fritz. Moritz. Punlsell Tennis. Such students as have not acquired the knack of etlcectively swinging a baseball bat or stealing bases, or have never become proficient at stopping swift liners and catching long fiies are by no means compelled to pass their free time in idleness. On sunny afternoons they betake themselves to the tennis courts of the several city parks where they vie with one another for racquet supremacy. 'During the school hours the intellectual powers are busily engaged in solving mathematical problems, delving' into theology, and mastering' Latin amd other subjects, but on the tennis courts the mind is allowed to rest and the body is given its share of exercise. Tennis has this advantage over baseball, basketball, and football, that its followers are spared the inconvenience and discomfort of bruises, sprains, and broken bones. Participation in this sport steadies the hand, trains the eye, and developes the muscles of the whole body. lt is the intention of Manager Fritz to stage one or two tournaments in the spring and allow the winners to represent Concordia against outside institutions. ,.... .dm ty.. ,... s..t X ..... wx Q Page Seventy-Eight E

It is true tliat the Concordia Seconds are not able to boast of a glorious string of victories, but they have, nevertheless, been an important factor in basketball. The purpose of a second team is to serve a stepping stone to higher glory and to oifer opposition to the first team, thus enabling it to practise signals, develop pass work, and improve from week to Week. The poor showing made against other teams was due to the lack of a systematic offensive. Their constant playing against the first team, which was of necessity mostly defensive, pre- vented them from developing a strong oifensive. In the final game of the season, however, the Seconds discarded their vvonted uncertainty and played a dashing game which kept their opponents at sea and brought forth many favorable comments from the spectators. Capt. Hilgendorf and C. Henning were forced by injuries to leave the team at the end of January, their places being taken by M. Michael and H. Moritz. - RECORD.

On September 27 the inter-class indoor baseball series opened amidst great enthusiasm. The inexperienced lll Pro team went down to a 23-0 defeat at the hands of the strong Ill Sem aggregation. The H Pro team could not stop the representatives of ll Sem, who hammered the ball for a 15-2 victory. The following Monday the I Sem and the l Pro teams crossed bats. The Semites, after a year or two in the pulpit and sehioolroom, could not settle down and lost by the score of 8-2. From the start of the series it was evident that first honors would go either' to Ill or ll Sem. ln two fast games these teams split even, lH Sem taking the first contest, 4-2. Several days later ll.Sem played almost perfect ball and downed their rivals, 9-1. The pennant hopes of lll' Sem were shattered when their team fell before .ll Pro and I Pro by close seores. Disearding their usual loose playing, the IH Pro team one day staged a determined eombat with ll' Pro and by means of a three run rally in the eighth carried off the game. ln summary, the indoor series provided wholesome exercise, aroused elass spirit, fostered argumentation, and furnished amusing entertainment.
