Believe Their Ability Is Being Under-estimated by Students
"The faculty basket ball team is rapidly getting into shape," said Captain Hopkins between class periods this morning, "in fact such exceptional ability is being displayed that we have to be played on a match to be played at their convenience.
"Well, Dean Johnston for one will play. He's heady, runs low and follows the ball well. Johnston is a tower of strength in the line.
*Perley Walker is particularly good in running interference. He must get in a little better condition before a match game however. He puts up a stiffer fight on a small court where distances are not so fatiguing.
"It is my opinion that students and younger athletes are apt to underestimate the power of the scoring machine which we have constructed, and for that reason we think it is wise to ask for a colleague game.
"The way Emerson and Redman show up is especially gratifying. I feel safe in predicting that they will be our chief point winners. Other can-tenders will be on the field but those who have worked faithfully are the ones I mentioned."
Do they practice? Certainly. Enthusiasm is so prevalent in our ranks that an early morning cross country run was planned last Monday. We couldn't go, on account of the snow, but the proposed jaint undoubtedly had gone. The police had gone, all of us would have solds now and be unable to play."
