Cross Country LOSING one of the most successful seasons since it has been rated as a major sport, the cross-country team spurted across the finish line for two victories against one defeat, encountering fast, hard-fighting teams. In the annual St. Paul Y. M. C. A. Armistice Day event, two Aggie men tied for fifth place against a strong field of contenders, with the team finishing with second place honors. Handicapped at the opening of the season by the graduation of most of the lettermen, and under the tutelage of a new coach, the team met the veteran South High School hill and dalers, and went down to defeat by the score of 30 to 60. Primed by the defeat the team traveled to St. Paul for the Armistice Day event to capture SUMMARY Dual Meets Aggies 605 South High School 30 Aggies 263 Hamline University 29 Aggies 155 Univ. of Minnesota Freshmen 40 St. Paul Y.

PETERS Basketball HE Aggies opened their- basketball season early in November under the guidance of Coach Cliffords. The enrollment being somewhat less than usual decreased the number of candidates for berths on the squad. A few scrimmage games were held before the close of the fall quarter to give Coach Cliffords some idea of the ability of his men. The squad returned after' vacation and practice began in earnest on the 9th of January. The following week the team opened the season at Phalen Luther and met defeat at the hands of this extremely well balanced team by the score of 32-12. Haven and Taylor scored ive points apiece. On January 23rd, a return game was played with Phalen Luther on the Aggie floor. Again the Luther boys showed theirsuperiority in every phase of the game. Wfhen the game ended, the Aggies were on the short end of a 24 to 14 score. Taylor led the scoring for the Aggies with 7 points. The next game was played at Concordia College where the fast opposition piled up a lead of 19-3 at the half. In theisecond half the Aggies came back lighting and scored 18 points to the opponents' 7, the final score being 26-21 in favor of Concordia. In this game Taylor and Wilkens scored 8 and 5, respectively. One of the features of the Aggie Homecoming, which was held on February 6th this year, was the basketball game in the evening.
