BASKETBALL :X group of toiling, sweating young blades tear across the floor and under the basket. After two unsuccessful attempts the basket is made. Cheers burst from the grand- stand, but before the cheering has died away, these boys are under the other basket. And so it goes-each team being cheered from its own side of the bleachers-- each team with its own feminine admirers hoping that Tom or Bob or Bill will make a basket. Then. as the sharp report from the pistol ends the game. and the teams hurry to their respective dressing-rooms, it is impossible to tell from their faces which is the victor, for both are smiling and wise-cracking. Grant's team, althou-'h not so svcctacular as teams of other 'earS, had its 'ood sw l 3 la times. its victories and defeats. and its display of teamwork. the greatest factor of school life.
