I OON after the close of the football season Mr. Dougherty issued a call for candidates for the basketball team. This is the hrst year that a Northfield lligh School team has had a gym of its own with facilities for practice. Twenty-five candidates responded to the call and for the first two or three weeks things went lively every night after school, liut with earnest practice, the squad dropped down to about fifteen men, who remained throughout the season. The team had a few experienced players but as a whole the squad was practically green in interscholastic experience. The team was rather slow, but steady and had a commendable habit of coming back when occasion demanded. Although we did not attain our objective standing' in this district, nevertheless for our Hrst full schedule, the team and coach are to be praised for their efforts. VVe lost the majority of games, but came in contact with many sportsmanlike teams. George Larson was chosen captain and discharged his duties very credit- ably. The following' men were awarded letters: Larson, Smith, Truesdale, Fre- X l mouw and Dayton. BASKl2'1'l!Al,l. SCORES Northfield 25 Austin 28 Northfield I5 Faribault 20.
