Purple and Gold 29 A Successful Season The Basket Ball boys had a successful season, playing a fast, snappy game throughout and were invincible on their court. They finished with a record of five games won and three lost. Personnel Howard H.—“Let me give you a tip,” the favorite epitome of our human obelisk. And he did. “Snac,” sometimes known as Howard, not only out-tipped, but out-pointed his opponent in practically every game. Sophomore. Raymond H.—“Hokie’s” favorite style of play is cateh-as-catch-can—after downing your man, the rest is easy. Hokie always annexed several baskets for his team. Favorite saying, “Oh, I hate you.” Senior. Leonard—Better known as “Gus.” He shoots goals mathematically. He plays a good, consistent game and aids a great deal by his “poultry” goals. Junior. Vocation, working mathematics. Avocation, teasing Nellie McM. Ray C.—Brother of Gus, played the fastest game of the court. He was like the proverbial Irishman’s flea. He often guarded both opponents when Claude decided to get a basket. Chief peculiarity, walking on his heels in the halls and on his toes on the court. Senior. Claude H.—Sings low and hits them in that locality also (see Howard Holmes for referee). Although troubled by Job’s affliction much of the season, he was always into the game. Senior. DeLoss 0.—Alias “Umphy.” Favorite song, “This Is No Place For a Minister’s Son!” But his actions belie his words, for DeLoss “sticketh closer than a brother” to his forward. Senior. Oad Essex—Middle name, “Skim.” Build, started out like Snac but got discouraged. Oad played a good game at forward, but too many social duties prevented his finishing the season. Gus and Oad should make a good duo for next year. Girls Basket Ball Simultaneously and co-incidently with the advent of Women Suffrage into Kansas, was the development of our Girls’ Basket Ball Team. Although still somewhat embryonic, all the earmarks of good players and a good team were shown. “Judge, oh ye, of little faith,” by the resultant standing at the season’s end. Games Played............(See Spaulding’s Basket Ball Guide) Games Lost...........................................None Percentage...........................................1000 Nellie McMahan, besides being a good center, was also the champion long distance talker, in sharp contrast to the sphinxuosity of May Louis. Ages, ?. Weight, 200. Minnie H., Mable S. and Vera S. were guards and the “speed” of their playing often rocked the gym. Age, x. Weight, more, etc. Jessica B., Vera D. and Opha B. were the sharpshooters of the team and were especially adept. Age, let X equal ages of Prof. Muchmore and Miss Shawver combined. Then X plus 3 equals the ages of Vera, Opha and Jessie combined. Therefore their age is—sshh! Q. E. D. Weight, unknown. Subs, Frank Farnsworth and Fred Garrett.
