Bors' BASKET BALL, 1923-1924 With only one regular player left from last year's squad the prospect did not look very bright. Then, as if this was not handicap enough, there was a delay in getting started due to some trouble about getting the opera house, so that when practice finally did start we were about three weeks behind the other teams of the league, which has the same teams as in base- ball with the additional team of Delhi Aggies. A similar trophy is offered with three wins necessary for permanent possession. Mr. Duncan issued a call for candidates around the first of November, and the enthusiasm with which the candidates turned out showed that what they lacked in experi- ence they would fill in with pep. We were not very successful, but with the same team next year the prospects of a league championship are very bright. Kenneth Peck was elected captain and Iroe Peck, manager. The line-up was as follows: H. Morrow, right forward. D. Richter, left forward. K. Peck, center. E. Decker, right guard. G. Lewis, left guard. F. Croce, substitute. The scores were as follows: Stamford Opponent Harpersfield at Stamford 22 13 Stamford at Harpersfield - - - 17 30 Stamford at Delhi tl Delhi Aggiesl 10 32 Stamford vs. Alumni - - 18 lil St. lV1ary's at Stamford 33 6 Stamford at Margaretville - - 14 26 Stamford at Hobart - 15 58 Roxbury at Stamford - - 12 18 Delaware Academy at Stamford - 7 32
