This was not because the author became tired and iuit. but ltecause there was nothing more to put into it. Hut this time we hope to make it more interesting, bemuse of the Athletic Fronts that really took place, in spite of being hnndicapiml by not having a gymnasium. HASKKT BALL. The members of the school who had played basket ball or who were willing to learn, joined the Y. M. C. A., and about fifteen candidates turned out to practice, and in spite of the handicap a pretty fair squad was selected. But tin tram was not what it could have been with a sufficient-amount of practice, on account of the Y. M. A. having so large a membership, the team could only get two short hours of practice each week, while the High School teams were getting from four to eight hours a week on their own floor. The team selected was as follows: E. Boss, Forward 1). Kupcrt. Forward J. l’ifer, Center B. Hetrick, Hoard. C. 'ranter, Hoard. M. Kessler. Sub. A. Hand, Sub. Later A. Dixon, who showed up well in a game with the B., 11. I shops, was put on as guard in Hetrick’s place, and with «his line up three games were won out of six. and as none of tin members of the team intend to leave school this year, it is expected that Sandy High will turn out a strong tram next year. Manager Boss and Captain Fifer in behalf of the team, wish to thank Mr. Harmon. Mr. Heffelfinger and Mr. Boundsly for their help in getting us the use of the floor and coaching us. Ye also wish to thank the faculty and the pupils of the High School for the hearty eo operation they gave us at our games and in help ing us to buy a ball, and we hope that they will continue to give us their help in our future undertakings as they have given it in the past, and we wish that all our letter men will turn out next year with the same spirit of sportsmanship that they have had this year.
