BASKETBALL AT the conclusion of the fall Soccer campaign, the DeVeaux Basketball en- thusiasts began their winter sports. As long shots drifted into the basket from quartercourt, and close-up shots dropped in with precision, a rather inex- perienced but hard-fighting aggregation was slowly being moulded into a co- Operative unit. At the announcement of the Basketball schedule, DeVeaux found itself on the short end of the City League, a position Which it held along with embarassment and humiliation.

SOCCER D. V. S. vs. Nichols . . . 111 D. V. S. vs. Park . . . . . 1-1 D. V. S. vs. Park . . . . . IeO ALTHOUGH the Soccer season for the fall semester this year was extensively curtailed by government suggestions and patriotic response from the schools, the war-time rationing did not limit excitement and a good helping was enjoyed in each of the few games. Organization and training of the athletes began early, as usual, and the intro- duction of new personalities, including that of the coach, started the season under way. Mr. Mat Korwin, with the assistance of several veterans, most noteworthy being Hands Pratt, made extensive efforts to condition and train his Panzer units. How successful he was is a matter of opinion. First game on the schedule was a lively battle against Nichols, and although the efforts of each side were valiant, it ended in a lfl tie, unable to be broken in the overtime period. Next came Park and another thriller; offlcial conclusion, 1A1 tie again. And who can forget the suspense when the Buffalonians were awarded their free-boot in the overtime? Yes, they missed and another tie went down in the books. The third and final game of the season was against Park on the home grounds and these results were favorable, 170 being the score at the final whistle of another exciting scramble.

BASEBALL ttWHAT has eighteen legs and catches flies?U A Baseball team of course. And what would spring at DeVeaux be without the usual campaign on the diamond? Well, thatts What the boys asked and although the situation in the field of sports offered what seemed to be only fruitless opportunities the rising interest of the boys in said sport demanded its organization. Under the direction of Coaches Ozanne and Anthony the members of the squad have daily been striving for berths 0n the team, And in no vain efforts either, has the squad been training; for, prospects of several games are at hand. It is with little pleasure however, that we are able to say the season has not been under way long enough for us to disclose results.
