A HARD, tense moment, the toss-up, a rush and Hash of lightning-quick bodies, accurate passes b well-trained muscles, a clever shot and the game is on. Hack and forth throughout the entire cage contest, the lead changes in a second’s time. Now ahead, now trailing, a resistless urge to go on, to score, to win. Men who engage themselves on the basketball court must possess speed, accuracy, endurance, and poise. It is a game of science, requiring instinctive action that results only after long practice and proper habits of the Hoor. Wesleyan’s squad attained success in all these branches of the sport and by that same old spirit of “winning for Wesleyan.’’ brought into action its very best technique to meet the occasion and to finish a very creditable season in the conference competition.

BASKETBALL REVIEW A brilliant array of basketball material reported to Coach Bingham at the close of the football season and immediately settled down to the task of learning the fundamentals of college basketball. “Old Man Jinx did not bother the squad to any great extent. Three letter men, several reserves of last season, and a variety of prominent high school basketball men furnished Bingham with plenty of talent from which to pick a team. During Christmas vacation, three practice games were played in which Bingham used his entire squad in order to get a line on individual abilities. No serious effort was made to win these games. 'I'lte regular scheduled season opened with Penn at Oskaloosa. This was a conference game which the Quakers won by a single point, 28 to 27. The Tigers led most of the game, but inexperience coupled with some tough luck brought about their defeat. Culver-Stockton of Canton. Missouri, placed a team of six-footers on the Wesleyan gym for the first non-conference game. The main feature of this game was the scoring of Lander, one of the best centers in Missouri. Allender was on a scoring spree in the first half, making sixteen points. The Missourians won 37 to 30. I he well-known Dutchmen of Central were Wesleyan’s first victims of the season. This victory gave us a .500 pet. standing in the conference. Score; Wesleyan 33—Central 26. i Aldex Bruhn “Bill” was handicapped by size, but his handling of the ball was on a par with any player.
