Although it did not win as many games as the Hve of the preceding year the Varsity of 1922-23 faced stronger opponents in many instances. Basketball has received a great impetus in the South during the last sev- eral years and each year sees stronger lives put in the field by the various colleges. A large majority of schools with Whom the Infantry plays an- nual games had the strongest teams in their history this season. To Coach Griswold and the various players goes credit for the good Work accomplished and the victories achieved. Vevia and lVIillard at forwardg Lippincott, Whittemo1'e, and Fay Smith, acting captain, at guardg and Brand at center are deserving of special mention for brilliant playing but the entire squad merits commendation for the splendid spirit which it displayed at all times. af3 MM.
