Basket s D URiNt; tlie season of 1900 the first 1)asket ball team ever ])laying under the auspiees of the F. IL S. made its a])pearanee. The interest in this sport was awakened by H. C. Whitcomb, who was chosen cap- tain and manager. This choice was justified hy subsequent events, for he not only proved to be an efficient cajitain and manager but by far the best pla ' er on the team. After a few practice games were held the following team was picked to repre- sent the school : Whitcomb, Kendall, Fisher, Schragle, Philbrook ; FLosmer, Base AKLY in the si)ring of the present year the Athletic Association of the school voted to put a baseball team on the diamond. At first the promoters of the project found but little interest in the sport among the pupils. Not daunted at that a few practices were held, and ' the team picked started in on what proved to be a very successful season’s work. As the team went on winning a good proportion of the games pla ed the interest of the school steadily in- creased, and it is safe to say that the school will never again allow Ball. substitute. The ]Drinci])al games were pla x‘d at the Sportsman’s Show, where the team succeeded in carr 3 ' - ing off the honors in three out of four games. F ' ollowing is the sched- ule : Maynard A. A. 7, F.
