The Second Basketball Team HE second basketball team is made up of boys who have had less experience than members of the first team. In many cases an individual may seem to have the ability of a hrst string player, but there is a certain amount of seasoning that is necessary for him to be of first team calibre. This year's second team is a clean, scrappy group of players. Their desire to play as a team and not individually brought them a lot of applause as well as victory in their games. The first game resulted in a loss to Phalen-Luther Academy. A week later they found themselves and defeated the same team by the score of 13-11. The fine fighting spirit and team work was very evident in this game. Captain Carl Sierk led his team in scoring. The next game found them winning from Concordia Academy by a very close score. In this game the work of Loken, Sierk, and Mertesdorf was pleasing to watch. The Dunwoody second team proved too fast and rangy, defeating the Aggies on their home floor. ,It was a hard fought game, with John Marrs starring for the Aggies. The personnel of the team changed very little during the season. The squad was picked from the following group of boys: Carl Sierk, Captain, Obert Loken, John Marrs, Ralph Nehl, Peter McKay, Paul Otting, Earl Lindberg, George Hokanson, Leonard Swanson and Geor-ve Hoven.

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.

FERNANDEZ, L. NOREEN, M. TEETE11, XV. NAPPA, Conch. Swimming WIMMING is a sport that is becoming more popular every year at the School of Agriculture. It is one of the few athletic activities that teaches something useful in itself besides furnishing recreation and physical exercise. At the beginning of the winter quarter twenty-three would-be life savers turned out to greet their coach, Walter Nappa. Under his able direction and capable instruc- tion twelve swimmers were developed to the point where they were picked to represent the school in competition with other schools in and about the Twin Cities. The Aggie swimming team will meet the following schools: North High, Roosevelt High, Univer- sity High, Edison High, St. Paul Central, and John Marshall. On the team are the following boys: Alfred Nelson, captain, Ralph Nelson, Marcus Teeter, Robert Carr, Earl Ellens, Arnold Shute, Sherman Stanton, Milton Wooding, Robert Faulkner, Antonio Fernandez, Don Anderson, and Leonard Noreen. These boys have had a trifle more experience and have consistently been out for practice, so were given a berth on the team. This is the Hrst year the school has given letters in swimming, and, if interest con- tinues in the sport, the school will have a winning team in a few years. -CARL SIERK. Page Om' Humlrrrl Nine
