BASKETBALL There has been a trend of High-School fans' opinion that our team made a total failure in basketball during the season of '21 and '22, But on the contrary it was a success as far as games are concerned. First, the rough floor which they practiced upon did not compare with the polished floors of their opponents. A team should practice upon a floor corresponding to the floor on which the game is to be played. Second. there were only a fem experienced players who produced the goods when it came to a final show-down. Sha. ting baskets was not a St. Johns specialty, but when it came to relaying the ball across the floor and dodging, we will have to acknowledge some dexterity. Even though the big schools did win, the High-School backed up the team as it should. Brenner and McKinstry made a good showing after being initiated to the tac- tics of basketball. Holt was kept out of the game because of illness after the first few days of practice. PLAYERS Mc-ore, R. F., Captain. Stead, L, G. Clemons, L. F. Sub.- Jackson, C. Brown, F. lVlarrillat, R.
