, MAROON AND WHITE igasket Ball Season of 1920-21 Under the coaching of Bob. Fosdick the team showed re- markable development throughout the season. Although the team did not win every game, nevertheless the season was a decided success, considering the heavy sched- ule and disadvantages under which both the team and the coach worked. It was a well balanced team, having no individual stars. Every fellow deserves credit for showing good team work and playing genuine basketball. Meeting the strongest teams in the state, they lacked the ability to cage baskets at the critical time, losing several games by very close margins. The team made remarkable showing at Sioux City, defeat- ing several teams picked as tournament winners. Basketball Schedule Sanborn ..... ....... 2 1 Milford .. Fonda .... .... 2 5 Milford . .
