This seemed, at first, rather early, but considering that our first game was the seventeenth of December, it was none too soon. In response to the call over thirty fellows turned out. They were a promising lot, and included three regulars from last year's team. This was a much better showing than that of last year and the spirit displayed by the fellows was of the caliber which goes a long way towards building up a championship team. , i Conditions faced by the team this year were greatly improved in comparison with the hardships with which last year's team contended. The gymnasium had been practically completed during the summer vacation. With the excep- tioniof having the baskets up, it was ready for us, so practice began at once. The wonderful floor, the showers, and the locker rooms were a veritable paradise when We thought of that little floor in the Industrial Arts Building, lacking the conveniences of the modern gymnasium, on which we practiced last year. These improvements, coupled with the able coaching of Mr. Pfeiffer, and the wonderful spirit shown by the fellows, all pointed to the development of a team which would bid high for the championship of Cincinnati, as its sister, the football team, had done. - f After weeks of strenuous practice had been completed, the team seemed to be in readiness for its first scheduled game of the season. This game was with Loveland, and after the first whistle blew it was plain to be seen that we were I1571

too much for them, the final count being decidedly in our favor.. This was indeed a fitting way to inaugurate the new gymnasium. The next week we journeyed to Hamilton where we were downed in an exciting game. Although beaten, we forced Hamilton to .put forth its best efforts to win and felt highly elated over the result. A Our next game was with Norwood, which resulted in a victory for us. This game was one of the fastest and most exciting of the season and was only decided when the final whistle blew. The following week Woodward was our victim. At no time were we in danger. This victory was followed by a defeat at the hands of Hamilton. This game was on our floor and was the second defeat administered to us by them. On the fourth of February we played Ohio Military Institute. They proved to be an easy opponent and we were not forced to exert ourselves to win. The next game was with Hughes and it was the most heart-breaking one of the season. At the end of the first half we had obtained a lead of fourteen points and the game appeared to be ours. The second half was a different story. It seemed as if we were playing a new team, and with about a minute left to play, Hughes tied the score. When the final whistle blew they led by three points. The following Friday we remained idle. We were to have entered the tournament at the University of Cincinnati, but at the last minute were pro- hibited from doing so by the Athletic Council. For the second time of the season we defeated Norwood. The Norwood team did not seem the same team which had previously put up such a good fight, and the result was an easy victory for us. The last two games were defeats at the hands of Woodward and Hughes, respectively. Although we did our best in these encounters they proved to be too much for us, as the results show. While this season was not the success it might have been, it was a great improvement over last year. This is shown by the fact that not a game, except in the tournament, was won, while this year We broke even in games won and lost. If any credit is to be given for the showing made by the team, it certainly should go to Mr. Pfeiffer. Although he is swimming instructor, he did all in his power to develop a winning team. Had he been able to give to us more of his time the result of the season might have been different. The season is over now and all that happened is' history, so, with the greater part of the fellows left, we look for great things from next year's team. The results of the season follow: A p H581
