Guard Witli all leltermen debarred from interclass contests, the Senior basket- ball team, with less material to draw upon than any other class, played with excellent spirit and increasing skill to the end of the tournament. Witli a little 111ore practice before the games connnenced and with more material to draw from, the team would undoubtedly have made a much better showing. The first game played hy the Senior team was with the Rooks. The under- classmen overwhelmed their elders by a score of 18 to 3. In the next game the Sophs defeated them with a score of 1,9 to 6. The Juniors were the next team to defeat the unlueky Seniors, the score in this game being 17 to 9. The Seniors played three more games, each ol' which resulted in much the same way, the upperelassmen receiving the short end of the score in each game. Decided improvement was noticed i11 their playing, however, and the scores were decidedly smaller against them. f1311
