1915 1915 G. W. U. PERISCOPE SaiikrthaU Although it did not win a majority of its games, the Basketball Team of 1914-’15 gave an excellent account of itself in a difficult sched- ule. Of six games on the home floor, four were won and only two lost; but out of twelve games away from home, ten were lost and only two won. One feature of the season was the restoration of athletic relations with Georgetown, although our rivals succeeded in getting the long end of the score in both games played. Coach Frank Schlosser, Captain Homer Shaver, and Manager Tom Murray all deserve much credit for the way in which they handled their parts of the season’s work. Harry Almon, whose goal shooting was a par- ticular feature of the season, has been elected captain for next year. The ’Varsity letter, “W”, has been awarded to the regular team, composed of Murray, right forward; Almon, left forward; Johnson, center; Shaver, right guard ; and Groesbeck, left guard. The second emblem, the G. W.”, was awarded to Hamner and Bryant. The season’s scores are given in full below. The National Guard Armory at Center Market, was used for the home games.

1915 G. W. U. PERISCOPE 1915 (Sirls SaiskrtliaU In every respect the season of 1914-’15 has been a success. With the exception of the first game of the season, the team has won every game played, whether at home or away. Out-of-town games were played with the Temple University and the Tome School in February, and with Fort Loudon Seminary, of Winchester, Va., in March. The average score of the G. W. U. team through the season was 33 points per game, which was more than three times the average score of its opponents. Deepest thanks are due to Agnes Carter, who has coached the team for two years with such success. “Ted” Seibold and Mary Tyndall also deserve special credit for their work as captain and manager, re- spectively.
