BA KETBALL In 1891, a member of the Young Menis Christian Association Train- ing School fYMCAl, created in Springfield, Massachusetts, the game of basketball with a very definite purpose in mind. It was to give young men a chance to participate in an indoor game during the winter when it was not possible to use the outdoor fields for such sports as foot- ball, tennis and golf. In the 68 years since, it is still serving that purpose, and gives Thur- stonites here, a chance to carry on with the same competitive spirit that holds them in the fall with football. Lenny wins the jumpall. While we have not had a very outstanding season this year. it has proved to be better than all previous years. Activity this year was spurred on by the Hpress-hailedi' combination of HMutt and Jefff, junior, Dick Jones. and senior, Lenny Wozniak, respectively. Both boys averaged a total of at least -- points per game each. lf. though, they hadnlt been backed up by the remaining members of the squad, who likewise did a fine job, the totals would have not been possible. It all goes to prove the importance of teamwork exercised by all players wearing an Eagle uniform. Dick Jones eludes the opponent.
