BASKETBALL REVIEW The Yellowjackets opened their initial game of the season in fine fashion at Pulaski Ha11, but the St. loseph quintet met its Waterloo in the following game when it was nosed out by a we11-fought victory. With this game the morale of the team was lost. The Blue and Gold proved to be no pushover throughout the season, although it lacked cooperation, which is essential for every team. The three victories out of a possible thirteen do not tell the true strength of the team because six of the games were lost by only a small score. 9 Although the season of '41 failed to prove fruitfui, promising material still remains for next year.
