T 1-1 F. PUYIAN 19 l a: Sparta l as BASKETBALL. All indications point to a successful season this year in basketball. Of course we lost a few men by their leav- ing school, but there seems to he a wealth of material in the Freshman Class. Also there are a few new mem- bers in the Junior Class who give pi-tamise of being a help to the team. Manager Hunt is doing all that he can to produce a strong team. He is planning the erection of an outdoor court so that the teaiti may start prac- tice early this year. This will be much appreciated by the members of the team and shOuId give them a good start before they begin indoor prac- tice. it is very probable that the Port- land lioyst Club uGym wiil be secured for indoor practice. There are three regulars left from last yearls team as follows: Hunt, Stuart and Robbins. Besides these, there are Dorschuck, Wilson. Mc- Garigle. Asnault and Bellis. Without a doubt the Freshman Class has a star in Kenneth Prince. The University probably has other material that is not known. - Captain Asnault has made the state- ment that every man shall have a chance to show what he can do, whether he be a letter-man or not. As this article goes to press, we are told by the manager that a playing schedule has been started. The team will play Gotham Normal Schoal at t'iorham. December 8. Also that he expects to be able: to print the entire schedule in the next issue of this paper. RALPH C. ROBBINS: JIL. '24. FOOTBALL. It has been iinally decided not to have :1 football team represent this school on the gridiron this fall. It seems to us that this is perhaps for the best, as the initial expense of equipping a football team is quite large. This clitl not worry the students much as a call was made for football candidates to turn out, but as there were only eight or nine men out, nothing could be done. The entire stu- clent-hothr seemed eager for a team, but for various reasons some of the stu- dents could not come out. The result was not enough men for a team. My next fall we should have enough money in the hands of the Athletic Association so that there will be no worry over this matter. Also there will be a larger studentvhody from which to pick the material for a team. It was claimed by some that we coultl get started and play one game. In this way, pay our expenses and then play a few more games before the sea- son was over. While this might be ail right, we have our doubts. Foot- ball is the most expensive game for a school to start. It is a good idea not to let one branch of sports get into debt. Each One should be made to pay for itself as in this way they are sure oi money with which to start a season. It is very,r likely that a foot- ball team this fall would have gone in debt. This state of attain; would have handicapped the basketball team ztnd might have handicapped the stal'tlng of a baseball team. Why not start one branch oi major sports each year? Wit: had basketball last year. so why not baseball this year and tnnlhall next? In this way we should have some money with which to start each new team. RALPH C. Ronnms. JIL, '24.
