LAKE FOREST-29 CHICAGO TECH-23 February 3 The team won their sixth game from Chicago Technical College by a score of 29-23. The Technical school put up a much harder fought battle than they did last year.. They remarked that next year with the same kind of improvement over last year, they will defeat us. Time will tell. LAKE FOREST-19 NOTRE DAME FRESHMEN-42 February 6 Lake Forest was handed a decisive defeat by the strong Notre Dame Freshmen. This is the first game the Academy has lost in three years. Notre Dame gained a big lead in the iirst half, but were outplayed by our boys in the second. The Fresh' men had too big of a lead for our team to catch. The crew from South Bend made about seventy-two per cent of their shots they attempted, showing what wonderful team work and the scoring ability these fellows had. Lake Forest had met a better team, and our hats are off to them. LAKE FOREST-30 AUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL-24 February 10 We played our only night game with Austin High School of Chicago. We found out that our boys worked as well at night as in the afternoon. Although they have played much better ball than they did with Austin. The game was rather slow and our fellows missed the greater per cent of their shots. In team work, Lake Forest played all around Austin, but we were unable to put the ball through the hoopg it rolled around but seldom seemed to drop through. LAKE FOREST-39 ELGIN ACADEMY-21 February 13 Elgin's aggregation was not as strong as their last year's team and fell an easy prey to Lake Forest. Again every man on the squad played. Lake Forest scored their greater part of the score in the first half, while Elgin scored 10 points the first half and ll the second. LAKE FOREST-57 WHEATON-16 February 20 The game of February ZO, being one of the features of Mid-Winters was played in the college gym. This was the second game we played with Wheaton. All the men of the team got a chance to perform before the large crowd attending the game. Lake Forest defeated the Academy team from Wheaton by a score of 57fl6. Page one hundred fifteen

LAKE FOREST-20 MARQUETTE-24 February 26 Lake Forest traveled to Milwaukee to taste defeat for the second time this past season. The Academy has a hard time beating Marquette on our own floor and playing on a strange floor was a disadvantage to them. This made the going for our boys rather hard, we beating them on our floor and they beating us on their floor proved the two teams about equal, furnishing two real basketball games with teams of the same strength. Marquette defeated the Academy 2420. This ended the bas- ketball season of 1926. Peterson QCaptainj ...... Kellar fCaptainfelectQ Clark ............. Colucci --- Buckmaster - Beat ....
