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.

13:51 minutes. Emil Blomberg, the pace-setter dur- ing the season, finished fifth, with Mendenhall, a new- comer, and Oanes, a steady veteran of several years, finishing in seventh and ninth places, respectively. On a severely cold day, over a very icy course, the Aggies took the University Freshmen into camp with a perfect score. The entire first five men of the Aggies finished before one Freshman crossed the line- the final score being 15 to 40. Sierk and Pearson again teamed up to tie for first place in the fast time for the icy course of 14:17 minutes.

Morris was our guest. The grim determination of the central Aggies to Win was dominant over their Wish to be hospitable and as a result the West Cen- tral school went down to defeat by a score of 27- 19. But the score only tells a part of the story. Fast breaking and accurate shooting by the Central school proved too much for the Morris cagers. Captain Haven's uncanny eye found the basket for 12 points while Taylor registered 10 points. On February 11th the Dunwoody quint defeated the home team on the latter's floor by the score of 43-26. Due to sickness the Aggie team was some- what handicapped, which accounts for the high score of the opposition. Taylor and Wilkins each netted 8 points in this game. ' PAUL HAVEN, Cnplain, The Central School has yet to journey to Crook- First Basketball Team ston and Grand Rapids to meet the agricultural schools there. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Cliffords for his untiring work and the team, although not altogether victorious, is nevertheless worthy of much praise. -PAUL HAVEN.
