THE FIRST BASKETBALL TEAM HEN Coach Thompson issued a call for basketball players, fifty loyal eg Aggies responded, among whom were six of last year's players. The final 7 :W ,A line up for the season led by Captain Keyes was: Keyes, centerg Bean and Miller, forwards, Cline, Ukkelberg and Head, guards, Clementson and DeGriselles doing reserve duty at center and guards respectively. The lid was officially pried off the basketball season by a game with the Alpha Gama Roe Fraternity, in which the Aggies were victorious. On January 8th the Aggies played Mankato Commercial College at Mankato and came home with the short end of a 20 to 17 score. They were again defeated when Mankato played a return game on February 11tl1. The Aggies were handi- capped at this time by the illness of Miller and Head. January 16th found the Aggies testing their skill with Phalen Luther in one of the most thrilling games in Aggie history. Although Phalen won by a score of 24 to 21, we are proud of the showing our boys made. In the St. Cloud game on Jan. 23rd another thrilling game took place. The Aggies were leading during the whole game and twice during the last half had a lead of five points. In the last few minutes of play their running guard sank several long field goals which decided the game 39 to 31 in their favor. At the annual Home Coming and Field Meet the S. A. U. M. team defeated the Alumni team by a score of 241 to 16. The remaining games include Concordia, Minnesota College and Phalen Luther. Sweaters and letters will be presented to the winners of the A at our Athletic Club'Banquet. Page One Hrzmireil Fifiy

THE SECOND BASKETBALL TEAM FTER a first basketball team is picked the remaining players form what is known as the second basketball team. Here they have a chance to practice kai? 5 and play till they can qualify for the first team. The second team is com- posed mostly of Freshmen and Juniors so as to keep men prepared to fill the va- cancies of graduating players. It also serves as a reserve for the first team to draw on in case of illness or disability of its members. The first game was played against Phalen Luther's second squad at the S. A. U. M. gymnasium. Luther had a larger and stronger team and afterfa hotly contested game the score stood 11 to 8 in favor of Phalen. A return game with them will give the Aggies a chance to avenge their defeat. Due to the fact that this must go to press immediately an account of only one game can be given. There are three games yet to be played, two with Concordia and a return game with Phalen. By having a first and second team, boys are given a chance to play and a greater interest in tl1e game is created. The Hrst and second teams practice togetherg so a strong second team means a stronger first team. ' Under the capable direction of Coach Thompson, we have had a very successful year.
