ATHLETICS The University High School Athletic Association consists of the entire student body of the high school. Each semester during registration every student pays an athletic fee of 33.00 of which the high school gets one- half and the University the other half. The Athletic Board is one of the most important student organiza- tions in the High School. It is composed of seven student members elected by the entire student body at the beginning of each year, and a faculty advisor. The duty of this board is to control and direct athletics of the school, select managers for the athletic teams, approve of all games, supervise financial matters and award letters. Those receiving letters this year were: Wilbur Anstett, Roosevelt Forseth, Edgar Harding, Earnest Johnson, Raymond Markell, Ezra Schroeder, and Lyle Tree.

BOYS' BASKET BALL The basket-ball season was started with a victory over the St. James quint. The team consisted of all new members except Markell. The boys took a great interest in their work and under Frank LaMeter's coaching a good team was soon developed. The one weakness of the team was their inability in fast passing. Slowness in getting rid of the ball was the cause of losing most of the games we did lose. Three players leave school this year but five good men are left. Those graduating this year are Forseth, Tree and Anstett. Markell and Harding were the star players. Markell was great for long shots and Harding could sure hold his own at center. This was Forseth's first year and he showed great basket-ball ability. The prospects for a good team next year are very good. ST. JAMES ACADEMY December 4 The baske-ball season was started with a victory over the St. James quint. The first half was played on very even terms, but the boys ran away from the visitors in the second half. The boys were somewhat fussed and excited, this being their first game. This was shown by the serious blunder that was made when Ray tried to shoot a free throw thru the opponent's basket but missed and Harding grabbing the ball dropped a field goal through for the Saints, giving them two points. But we won just the same defeating St. James 20 to 4. MINTO December 15 I The second victim to meet defeat at the hands of the U. H. S., was Minto. This was the most interesting game played on our own floor. The score was on very even terms all through the game, never being more than two or three points difference. Johnson had to leave the game at the end of the first half but his position was filled by Anstett. The score at the end of the first half was nine to ten in our favor. The score at the end of the second half was a tie, 21 to 21. After five minutes of extra playing we won 27 to 21. HATTON December 21 The first game to be played away from home was at Hatton. The boys were handicapped by having to play on a very small floor with two rods overhead that hindered long shooting. Much arguing and fouling were the features of the game. After much hard labor on the part of the team and debating by the coach we won. The score was 17 to 12. MINTO January 12 Another interesting game was played at Minto. As is usually the case we had a small floor to play on and a strong team to play against. Minto had an idea that they could beat us on their own fioor when they gave us such a close run on our own fioor. The boys went in to win and they did. The final score was 40 to 20 in our favor.
