Boys' Basket Ball Review The past Basket-Ball season toward which everyone looked forward with a. great deal of interest was rather a disappointment. lVith tour letter men on the squad and a. great deal of enthusiasm, we all looked for a better team than that of last year. This outcome would probably have been realized, had the enthusiasm of the individual players been prompted by a sense of duty and school spirit, rather than one of individual glory and the idea of after me the team comes next. At times thedteam played ideal basket-ball and were commended very highly for their lighting spirit, especially against heavier teams. But the tact that all of the fastest games that were dropped, were lost by the margin of only a few points proves very clearly that the secret of it all was in their lack oi' trailiing. At the critical time the winning punch was lacking and i11 practi- cally every case the game was lost i11 the last few minutes to an interior teanl. which possessed greater physical stamina. ' It is indeed a deplorable fact that a player will sacrifice his sense of fairness to his team, his duty to his school and community and his own physi- cal and mental well-being in order to keep pace i11 a fast stepping social whirl. At all events it seems exactly in contrast to what we expect and ,demand in a red-blooded American school boy in any age or generation. Outside of this inherent weakness the season wa.s a decided success. A lot of new material was uncovered in our class tournament a11d much of it developed during the season. Financially we came through very well, and with interest growing each year we may look forward to .improved conditions in the future. lVe wish to extend our thanks to Mr. 'Potlinberger and Mr. NV right for their efforts in behalf of the team, in the face of rather discouraging circum- stances.
