Ba ket llall VVHAT PBOMISED to be the best. basket ball season in the history ot' the College started this year with a one-point victory over Joseph Junior College. We had, when the season opened, only three men ot' last yearis teain back in the game, but an experienced group ot' treshmen promised us interesting basket ball, as Coach Warren had arranged an impres- sive schedule. Although the competition this year was the stittest ever met by the college, the courageous Scotties stood their ground. St. Joseph Junior College and Fairview were each humbled by us twice. W'ith decisive victories, early season defeats by Kansas City Junior College. Chilli- cothe Business College, and VVhite Cloud were revenged. Vkfe. also, won one and lost one each with Haskell and St. Paul. Only Trenton. leader oi' the Missouri junior colleges, was able to defeat us twice, each time by tour points. At the close ot' the regular season, the Scot.- ties entered the Vifhite Cloud tournament for independent teams. Hiawatha, Everest, and Vllhite Cloud fell our prey as we showed the way in winning the tournament. Each Scottie received an engraved gold basket ball l'or this et't'ort. But as all good things must come to an end, so our basket hall season ended. The gold and blue had floated for aye. Vile had a team ol' which every student should have been proud and proclaimed: All Hail, the Scottie, Hail.
