BASKETBALL NOTES VVhen the iinal whistle blew in the last game the curtain was drawn across the 1024 Basketball season. Although the team did not obtain any championship colors they have the honour of being the first basketball team of the school to enter the hnals. After the game in windsor the boys of the team were the guests of Mr. Garrett of Detroit. His hos- pitality did much to make the visit in Windsor a great success and his efforts were more than appreciated. The boys returned considering it the best trip of the season. W'e take this opportunity of expressing our sincere thanks to Mr. Garrett for his interest in the team and his thoughtfulness in its entertainment. Harry Kinsell of Detroit handed the game in splendid order. Edwards, the centre rnan for W'i11dsor was by far the outstanding player of the contest. Crompton, at guard, left nothing to be desired at that position. He was one of the neatest guards on the floor. L 'Xl i

IO6 THE COLLEGIATE. itssdl 6 - h H, it - ' . . X Z-, A HISTORY OF 1923. I Written in the year 9999. Man in 1923 is supposed to have developed a rather high state of civili- zation. It is strongly believed that our primitive fathers had schools in which they educated their young. A recent excavation revealed a large stone build- ing, in which pieces of slate were foundg scientists believe the teachers used these to write upon. A rude and rusted chariot has been found near the ancient city of Detroit. A great warrior called Ford once owned these, and several such chariots have also been found throughout a country then called Canada. It is now believed that his whole army rode in such a fashion to battle against the great Packard clan. Fruit of the now extinct golf tree has been found buried in a creek. XYeapons called putties and mashies show us the primitive state of the men. lYomen at that time, were also very wild. They learned to use the rolling pin with great effectiveness, and used this as their sole weapon. The women put red paint and flour on their cheeks, probably to frighten the enemy in time of battle. These people spoke English but we would not understand their lang- uage. Phrases such as, give her the gas, kid! , and ain't she the frog's tooth ! show us that grammar was as yet unheard of. Seemingly these peo- ple were very fond of music, but they sang only one tune. Over a thousand copies of a melody called, Yes, XYe Have No bananas, have been found in the apartment homes of our ancestors. The meaning of such a song can only be guessed at. Much literature has also been found concerning some great man, probably a warrior. This man was named Andy Gump. They also learned to tame the wild horse, as a certain horse called Spark Plug was given much praise. The skeletons of huge birds have been found near Point lidward. These species were called the aeroplane, and why they have not survived, is attributed to the destructive tendencies of man at that time. A discovery has been made giving us light upon the appearances of these people. The miles of celluloid with the picture of the same person upon it has been studied by the scientists. They have found that by rapidly cranking these pictures through Z1 machine they can be reproduced on a screen. XYe find in observing these pictures that some of the women wore their hair down their backs in long curls, like a woman called Mary Pickford. Others had it cut like a man's, and brushed into a tangled mass on the top of
