Tl1e first game with St. Albans was played in their gymnasium, just outside oi' Xifashington. They outplayed us in every way, with a score of 50 to 10 in their i'avor. The game was not very exciting be- cause they were really too good for us, but the team showed plenty oi' 4'pep and made a, good try. The return game with Franklin High School did not turn out the way it was expected. because we were beaten, 10 to 40. The game was one sided the whole way through, and our team seemed. to lack pep.', The retereeing was also very poor. no fouls being called at all, although there were a great many occasions for it. The gymnasium was as cold as ice because they didn't have any coal, and this was an- other handicap. At the end ol' the lirst hall' the score was Jr to 24 against us. The second game with Sparrows Point High School was played in their gymnasium. and the game was very close all the way through. At first they were a little aheadg then we caught up, but when the half was called they were again in the lead. Score, 5 to Sl. NVhen the second half started we caught up with them and then the lead see- sawed back and forth, the game ending with the score 15 to L14 ill our 'i,1IV0l'. There was a dispute over the score. They said they won, but we played. a. better game. The second game with St. Albans was played in our gymnasium, but the score oi' the lirst game was not improved. Although playing at home the score ended 113 to 42 in their favor. They played circles around ns, and scored a decisive win. The Towson High School game was a thriller. The score con- tinually see-sawing back and forth. At the end oi' the tirst half we were ahead, the score standing I2 to 0. During the second half they staged a come-back, and at the end oi' the second halt' the score was tied, 18 to 13. so that a period oi' ten minutes had to be played to settle it.

Foreword Basketball was just started last year, and it was continued this year, but the fellows have not been playing long enough to know all the line points of the game. The team suffered greatly from the loss of players. Two old players, lfoady and James Bordley, were out this year, and both played a good game. Uoady spent most of his time this year rolling np the score, and most of our victories are due to his team work and the skill with which he shot goals. .Bordley played hack and did his best to stop his opponents who had to he very wide awake to fool him. 1l'rofessor Iiartley worked hard with the team and turned out a moderately good one, hut he certainly did have a very small squad to choose from. This was our own fault, and it seems as if our school spirit ought to send more men out for the teams. Harwood played a mighty good game at forward, illlll every one seems to he more than satisfied that he was chosen captain. Huey played a fast. steady game at guard and helped keep the team pepped np when they were playing in hard luck. l'assano was at center the first part of the season and when he was taken sick his place was secure. Cromwell then iilled his place with credit. Upon the whole the team had a successful season. A large squad and harder work ought to produce still hetter results next season. GAMES. The Franklin High School game was the first of the season, and the team, although defeated hy a score of 22 to 223, died fighting. The game was thrilling and very close all the way through, the first half ending in our favor, 'iii to 10. NVe played Sparrows .Point High School and won the first game of the season, with a score of Z2-L to Sl. lVe had the advantage from the start, always keeping ahead. The first half ended with the score 122 to 5 in our f'avor. The plays on our side ran smoothly and everybody showed an excellent hrand of teamwork.

The Donaldson game was not very thrilling, unless you like to see your opponents shoot goals. lVe played in their gymnasium and they certainly do take advantage of it. They run along, climb up the wall and the11 drop the ball in the basket. The score, which ended 86 to 11 in their favor, took the pep out of our team, as it was very evident that we were licked after the first few minutes of pla y. The second Towson High School game was a disappointment. .ln the lirst game the score was very close, but in the second they put it all over us to the tune of ZH to ll. The game was good all the way through, but not nearly as exciting as the first one. They kept the lead and were never in danger of being overtaken. The second Donaldson game was a big surprise to all of us, and the team deserved a good deal of credit for beating a team that had beaten them so badly in a former game. All the team started with determi- nation and they certainly produced results. The half ended with a score of 13 to 12 in their favor, but they did not give up, and the final score was 29 to 2-l in our favor.
